In fact, the main body of the canal has long been completed, and it has also been opened to ships. Before Yan Saburo returned to Shengyi, the canal was very busy, there should be all the trade, and there should be trouble. It's just that the last few miles of the canal have to pass through the mountains, and the project is particularly complicated, and it will not be completed until this year.

"Although Mao Dingsheng is idle, his roots are still rooted in Fenglai Mountain. Mao Dingsheng was the initiator of the riot, although he later helped Xiao Mi pull down the avant-garde king, but the "rebellion" attribute that he could not remove was feared by all kings. He got three generations of wealth from Xiao Mi, but he no longer had real power.

This is also one of the few examples where a riot can be started but a good end can be achieved. Li Kailiang smiled: "After the rebel army was disbanded, Mao Dingsheng still had more than 2,000 descendants. They were originally entrenched in Fenglai Mountain, but after the canal was opened, they set up a herring fish liao and changed it to a land and water business, and they cooperated happily with us. Now the Lanjiang River is flooded, otherwise the goods can be transported directly from Shengyi to Fengchao City in the south of Fenglai Mountain, and they will escort them all the way. ”

Yan Saburo pressed his knuckles: "Qingsha River is a branch of the Lanjiang River, and it is also flooding this year, right?"

"Yes. Li Kailiang's face gradually became solemn, "This is the bad news to be said next." Heavy rain has lasted for more than 50 days in the central and western parts of the country, the entire Lanjiang River has flooded, and the flood has come in at least four waves, and there is no trend of slowing down so far. ”

Yan Saburo subconsciously looked at the sky, the sun was still hanging in the west, but the sky in the south was already full of clouds. He also looked at the celestial phenomena when he traveled north and south, and knew that this was a precursor to the coming storm.

There may be heavy rain again tonight, and the good weather has lasted less than two days.

"And then?"

Li Kailiang cleared his throat before he said: "The Longkou weir we built at the beginning of the year has been washed away twice!"

Yan Saburo finally changed color: "What?"

Li Kailiang carried the drawings with him, and then he unfolded them to show Yan Sanlang: "On July 15, the embankment was broken, and we urgently repaired it, and on August 17, the middle section of the Longkou weir was washed away again. Not counting the money and material resources consumed by these two emergency repairs, 17 workers were swept away by the flood. ”

As soon as the words fell, the white cat came out of nowhere, took small steps, and jumped onto the desk where the drawings were placed.

It's also looking at the drawings with its head sideways.

There are a lot of lines, real and imaginary, as well as various detailed structures that are separated, as well as the labeling of small characters......

It's too complicated, it'd rather look at the formation map, the enchantment map, than see this.

Forget it, Yan Xiaosan can understand it. The cat narrowed its eyes and began to raise its paws to wash its face.

Li Kailiang was accustomed to the white cat's ghostly appearance, and he also knew how much the young master spoiled it, so he directly ignored it at this time, and stretched out his hand to move on the drawing: "Longkou Weir is one of the three weirs that we have renovated Longhu, and it usually stores water for navigation." According to Bai Chenghuan's design, the weir group can withstand a flood that occurs once in 300 years. Although Sanyan is only one of them, it should not be washed away so easily. ”

Yan Saburo was silent when he checked the paper. The lake in the west of Shengyi was renamed Longhu by Xiao Mi with a stroke of the pen, the original area was only more than ten hectares, and a small weir was built in the previous dynasty to intercept the upstream water flow, so the area expanded to more than forty hectares.

Before Yan Saburo fell asleep, it took him more than half a year, lobbying and proving in many ways to win the Xicheng expansion project from the royal court. One of the most important steps was the renovation of the existing weir.

Originally, King Wei planned to build water conservancy in Baitang Bay and build a large weir with a span of nearly 100 zhang, which was majestic and magnificent, in order to show David's national strength. However, Li Kailiang proposed several times to split one into three and build small weirs (embankments) at the mouth of the three gorges, which would save labor, money, and time, and could also better regulate the water level, control rivers, and irrigate farmland.

Longkou weir is one of them.

In Yan Saburo's expectation, it will take about six years for Sanyan to be completely repaired, but it can connect the north and south, east and west, and the goods in the west will go all the way east by water, and finally arrive at Shengyi, saving time and effort.

A capital city like Shengyi can only promote its prosperity if it is developed in commerce and trade, which is also the driving force for the development of Xicheng.

Because Shengyi Xicheng is to be expanded on a large scale, it must not be troubled by floods, so the quality of Jiangyan must not be problematic.

However, now the Longkou weir has only been repaired for half a year, and the embankment has burst!

Yan Saburo said in a deep voice: "Have you found out the reason?"

Bai Chenghuan also packed the ticket, saying that he checked the structure and construction, and it was all quality and quantity. ”

The young man frowned: "Quality and quantity, why did it collapse?" There must be something wrong, "What about Bai Chenghuan?" Why didn't you come?"

At this time, the division of labor was rough, not to mention that those who built houses could not build embankments, not to mention that Bai Chenghuan could also be called an all-rounder. This was even vouched for by the victorious king himself.

Although he was defeated in Longshan, Yan Saburo still admired his vision and mind, and believed that his vision of knowing people was not far behind.

"He's, he's in jail, in the four-eyed dungeon of Danshui Lane. Li Kailiang swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice:

"Bailingchuan is the upper reaches of the Lanjiang River, and the Longkou weir bursts the embankment, and the downstream is flooded. Many ministers have called for holding accountable the responsibility for the breach of the embankment at Longkou Weir, and it is humane that one of the causes of the flooding in the central part of the country is that the Longkou Weir has changed the course of part of the Bailingchuan River. The royal court quarreled about this matter for more than ten days, but the king could not, so he had to take Lao Bai into custody and wait for the subsequent trial. ”

Yan Saburo couldn't sit still: "Bai Chenghuan has been detained, so who is in charge of the flood discharge and embankment repair in Xicheng now?"

Bailingchuan is the main tributary of the upper reaches of the Lanjiang River, and at least one-third of the endless eastward flow of the Lanjiang River comes from Bailingchuan. However, the seasonality of this river is very strong, the water level is unstable, and it is flooded in spring and summer, and dry in autumn and winter, so both Xianchao and Bai Chenghuan built a weir on the Bailing River to expand Longhu Lake to control the water flow.

During the rainstorm, the water level of the Lanjiang River is already rising, and once the Longkou weir bursts the embankment, the rolling river water rushes downstream, which is to add insult to injury, and directly irrigates the Lanjiang River into a ground hanging river, and it is strange if it is not waterlogged.

From this point of view, the royal court's accountability is justified.

Li Kailiang's face was also not good: "Shuibu Lang Zhongzhang Xianlong." He's always been at odds with us. ”

Yan Saburo couldn't help but press the corner of his forehead.

The Ministry of Water is subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, and is in charge of defending the decrees of the country's rivers and ponds, building water conservancy, and breaking rivers and canals, all of which are within their powers and responsibilities. The embankments, canals, and weirs on Longhu Lake were supposed to be repaired by them, but Yan Saburo spent a lot of time fighting with the Ministry of Water, and Shengsheng snatched this big fat errand, and the Ministry of Water was already angry.

Now it's okay, there is an accident in Longkouyan, and the Ministry of Water will take over as a matter of course.

Li Kailiang said again: "Detaining Lao Bai, the Ministry of Industry is not satisfied. The protector informed him that the king had received more than a dozen books, all of which were ......."
