Ji Hu suddenly raised his sword eyebrows: "You didn't invite him to Haojing?" Building water conservancy was a long-term policy that was decided before he took office. Ji Hu asked this question with a hint of blame.

Rong Yi whispered: "I told him in private about the king's plan to build water conservancy in Guanzhong, but at that time the Jishui River had not been completely dredged. I had already ordered my horse to go to Jimo to deliver the message, and ordered my disciples to secretly protect Si Yu and his son.

Enter the customs."

Ji Hu's sharp eyes flashed, then he calmed down and said calmly: "Tell me, since you recommended this Si Yu, what position do you think should be assigned to him?"

"What do you think of the hydraulic works order, Your Majesty? Command all the civilian workers and hydraulic workers who control the water, and take charge of the dredging and waterlogging projects of the mine field ditches."

Ji Hu nodded slightly and knocked on the king's desk in front of him: "Siyu must be invited to Haojing within ten days, and he will be appointed after the palace has dealt with it."

"Yes!" Rong Yi puffed up his chest with excitement: "I have received all the letters from the ground. Within five or six days, father and son surnamed Si can enter Hangu Pass."

E Kun couldn't remember how many times he fell into this illusory and misty dream: He dreamed that he suddenly turned into a fish in the northern sea, and Kun Peng floated in the vast sky, with wings like clouds hanging from the sky, soaring up to 90,000 yuan.

Inside, he turned into a feather, carrying the blue sky on his back and flying with the wind, with the world of dust in front of his eyes. The birds in the tents chirped and discussed, and the doves by the stream cooed and laughed at him.

Suddenly I saw the sun and the moon rising and the beacon fire going on, big and small lights spreading all over the world, a feather fluttering and suddenly missing its destination, emerging from the clouds, and the mountains on the horizon suddenly turned into big characters in the clouds - no self, no merit, no karma, Kunpeng

The feathers, the birds in the tent, the doves by the stream, the white clouds on the mountains, the sea and the earth suddenly merge into a boundless chaotic world...

Three days ago, my uncle, half covered in blood and with a broken arm, staggered back and brought back an extremely rare ancient Ganoderma lucidum. It was later discovered that it took her, a weak woman, ten days to finally find it in a deep forest covered with snow.

After looking at my uncle and aunt who were already skinny and haggard, and hearing the old woman's distressed cries, Ekun, who had been feeling like a wandering ghost all day long, finally woke up.

For the past three days, in addition to sauced meat and noodles, the daily evening soup also included a can of Ganoderma lucidum soup. After drinking this soup, he started to snort loudly as soon as he got on the bed, and he slept for three to five hours without waking up.

He had the same dream for three days in a row. In this way, Ekun gradually woke up, his eyes were vacant and unfocused, but he was finally able to speak obediently.

Shuju secretly felt relieved when she saw that his condition was gradually improving.

In early October, a caravan of horses hurriedly entered Haojing and arrived at the quiet post house. King Li of Zhou Dynasty, Ji Hu, received the report at midnight, and immediately ordered: go to bed immediately, and hold a court meeting in the main hall at 9:00 in the morning. ap.

In the past, when there were no court gatherings, the Hokyong Palace was silent in the early morning. The golden and red morning glow penetrated the layers of palace canyons, filling the air with a glorious tranquility and loneliness.

Today is very different. At the first moment of the Yin period, all the palace servants went out to sweep the court in preparation for the court meeting. The main door of the main hall rumblingly opened, and a wide and thick red felt was spread down the thirty-six white jade steps to the carriage square and the platform outside the hall.

The two large bronze tripods became bright again, thick incense sticks raised curls of green smoke, and the sacred temple atmosphere suddenly filled the air with the curls of green smoke.

At the end of the Yin hour, there was a rush of carriages and horses at the palace gate, and the ministers had already entered the palace one after another, filed into the main hall, and sat down solemnly in front of their seats.

As soon as the Mao clock started ringing, Jia, the royal servant in front of the palace, made a long announcement: "At Mao hour, the emperor will come to the court meeting—"

The courtiers in the seat all raised their hands and shouted: "See my king!" Their eyes were all focused on the huge vermilion wooden screen behind the throne. After all, with such painstaking arrangements, it seems that the young emperor has some important strategies for governing the country.

People are curious.

In the solemn silence, faint footsteps came from behind the large vermilion screen. The pace was slightly brisk but solid. Then a tall and handsome figure walked out steadily, wearing an orange royal linen robe.

, with the scale crown on his head and the emperor's sword at his waist, his eyes slowly swept away, and the ministers immediately cheered up.

"Ministers," Ji Hu said calmly after sitting at the king's desk: "Today's meeting is only for one thing: to decide on the water conservancy renovation and dredging in Guanzhong. I ask the Prime Minister to explain it to you first." After taking charge of the government, Ji Hu said to Zhao

Bohu's title has quietly changed from "Young Father" to "Zhao Xiang", but such a small thing

The changes were not noticed by most people. As for how Zhao Bohu felt, no one knew.

"Ministers," Zhao Bohu stood up from his seat, turned to face the courtiers and said loudly: "Guanzhong's well fields have been in practice for hundreds of years, and many of the ditches and main canals have become blocked and need to be repaired urgently. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to exert their irrigation capabilities, but they will become a disaster.

Diverting floodwaters and building canals is also a top priority and a must-do strategy. This matter must be done and there is no need to discuss it again. Today you just want to discuss how to repair it, so feel free to say whatever you want."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Gongding stood up and said: "I would like to inform my king, now that the court meeting has been decided, I have no objections to the renovation of Guanzhong's water conservancy. It's just that the mine field's branch canal has been deserted for a long time, and the waterlogging diversion project is difficult.

Flood disasters are difficult to treat, and people who are proficient in water affairs must be properly selected to take charge."

After Zhou Gongding finished speaking, he glanced at Rongyi specifically, and the courtiers all knew what he meant. Everyone knew that King Zhou had appointed Rongyi to take charge of the water conservancy work, and they also knew that Rongyi was a generalist, but they didn't know that Rongyi was a generalist.

I believe he has the ability to be a hydraulic engineer.

Rongyi was naturally able to understand the thoughts of the ministers, and immediately stood up and gave a brief summary of Siyu's life. He finally said: "If the flood in Guanzhong is not cured, the country's foundation will not be consolidated. Rongyi recommended Siyu to control the flood."

Whether a person can take on the important task of being the chief hydraulic engineer, I will ask the court to decide, and the emperor will decide."

Ji Hu waved his sleeves and said, "Xuan Si Yu."

Following the repeated calls of "Si Yu is here", the chief of ceremonies at the front of the hall guided a person into the hall. The ministers were so surprised that they all let out a sigh of surprise.

This man was dressed in a black linen short coat, with a thick and long shining iron staff in his hand, a bamboo hat on his back, and straw sandals on his feet. He was dark, thin and slender, just like a dead branch of charcoal picked out from the embers of a fire. Ji Hu felt a sudden change in his heart.

Liang, this is the image of Dayu when he was controlling floods that he saw in the carved slips of ancient books.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, this man showed no embarrassment. He calmly walked to the palace and cupped his hands: "Buyi Siyu, please see the Emperor."

Ji Hu smiled and said, "I am young and ignorant, and I am not welcomed far away. Please forgive me, sir, and please take a seat."

The ceremony officer led Si Yu to the big table on the left side of Wang's case, helped him sit down, and turned around. This table was three steps ahead of Zhao Bohu's prime minister's table, and it was on both sides.

The central position of the minister is obviously the most honorable position for the state minister.

How could a villager, a fisherman and a woodcutter, be so noble? How could the ministers not be surprised and confused? As soon as Siyu took his seat, the ministers began to whisper among themselves.

Zhao Bohu was alert, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Sir, you are walking with an iron staff. Could it be that you have internal injuries?"

"This is an iron ruler for detecting water, not an iron staff." Si Yu said calmly.

"Exploring water?" Zhou Gongding couldn't help laughing out loud: "Can a four-foot iron rod also detect the water of a river?"

"How deep does the prince think the water in the rivers is?" Si Yu remained as indifferent as before.

"I often hear that the river is often more than three feet deep, and the river is often more than five feet deep."

Siyu didn't say anything, and stretched out the things in his hands toward the palace door. He heard a clicking sound, and the shining iron ruler suddenly grew in length one by one. In an instant, it reached the threshold of the main palace, and it was more than six feet in length.

He stretched out his hand again, and the iron ruler retracted with a click, turning into an iron staff again.

"What a strange thing! Such a miraculous iron ruler for detecting water, I am so ignorant!"

"There are specializations in the industry, there are specializations in the skills, that's it, what's the point."

With just this sentence, the arrogance of this civilian waterman came out. The ministers were stunned for a moment, but they couldn't help but respect him.

Rongyi saw that the water-detecting iron ruler shocked the arrogant ministers, and felt that he should strike while the iron was hot to finalize the matter. He held his hand to Si Yu and said, "Sir, you have the title of Water God. May I ask what is the general situation of floods in the world?"

"There are 1,252 water flows in Kyushu. One hundred and thirty-seven for those with a flow of more than 800 miles." Si Yu looked solemnly, the indifference and laxity just now swept away, and spoke with a slight Wuyue accent.

Echoed loudly and clearly in the hall:

"The sky is born with water, which floats in the sky and carries the earth. It touches everything high and low, and moistens everything. Therefore, water is the precursor of all things. From ancient times to the present, water cannot be separated for a moment. However, the good of water is also great.

The harm caused by water is also fierce. Pangu gave birth to three major disasters for humans: water, fire, and beasts. Observing the seriousness of its harm, water disaster is the most serious disaster in the world.

The harm caused by water, Huaishan and Xiangling, is so vast that it floats away wealth

Cargo devours living beings, so why not! All the water flowing in the world can bring benefits. All the water flowing in the world can cause harm. Promoting water conservancy and eliminating floods is the most important plan of the country. Yu was great, coexisting with heaven and earth, and channeling all rivers.

Entering the sea and going in and out of mountain caves.

According to the survey today, nine out of ten disasters during the Great Zhou Dynasty were caused by floods. The hinterland of the Central Plains was affected by large rivers, the Jin State was affected by Fenji, the Qi State in the east was affected by sea disasters, the Yan State in the north was affected by Liao River, and the south was also affected by floods.

Rivers are plagued by rivers and lakes, Wangji in Guanzhong is plagued by rivers and rivers, Wu and Yue are plagued by earthquakes and shipwrecks. The land south of Lingnan has been plagued by floods and desolations since ancient times.

All these and other things, wherever water conservancies are achieved in Jiuzhou, floods are everywhere! This is the general trend of floods in the world."

"Can all floods in the world be cured?" Rui Liangfu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted.

"There are no floods in the world that cannot be cured. It all depends on what you do and what you don't do."

"May I ask, sir, are the floods in the world the most serious of which are those caused by rivers?" the aging Luoyi Liushou suddenly asked.

"No." Si Yu smiled heartily for the first time, and his tone was extremely peaceful and solemn: "During the time of Dayu, the river troubles were the most severe. Naturally, Dayu united the people of the world and tried his best to provide relief for thirteen years.
