Chapter six hundred and first firm, it's too late to regret
It has been brewing for many days, and the rain finally fell, and the rainfall affected most of the Qiankun Empire.? Such a situation cannot be said to have never been seen in history, but it has never happened at the end of April. The largest area down is Heluotang.
This happened for most days. As the rain continued to increase and the time increased, the water of the Dahong River soared, and the nobles in the towns on both sides of the river were becoming more and more nervous. Many nobles were ready to retreat to a higher place, while the civilians put their homes as high as possible.
The town was in chaos, and many people were still buying daily necessities and food in the heavy rain. There were screams and cries everywhere on the streets and alleys.
After experiencing an ice flood disaster, they certainly know the importance of food and daily necessities.
As for the flood control dam, they dare not expect it. Such a heavy rainstorm has not stopped for most days, and once it is flooded, it will definitely be super big. The dam built by the Duan family collapsed during the flood season, not to mention now. As for the new material, no matter how good the effect is, it cannot stop the flood.
However, people who are still buying are not aware that if it weren't for the existence of the flood control dam, their town would have been completely swallowed up by the flood.
The civilians didn't know, but the ruling nobles knew that they had been sending people to stare at the flood control embankment. Not long ago, all the flood peaks that came down from the upper reaches of the Dahong River were blocked by this flood control embankment.
Those who stared at the dam were stunned. They saw the monster-like flood peaks constantly bombarding the dam, making a roar. At that time, their hearts were in their throats and their faces were scared to death. Such a big flood. They had never seen such a big flood in their lives. In their hearts, the flood control dam could not withstand such an impact for long.
But it was not as they thought. Seven or eight flood peaks came in two consecutive (months) and the embankment remained unmoved under the bombardment.
"It's blocked, it's all blocked!" These people couldn't hide their excitement at the time and cheered with joy.
When the news came back to the lord's mansion, Grand Duke Heluo also breathed a sigh of relief. The upper nobles were all over the place and finally no longer had to leave their homes and do business to avoid the flood.
"Jiang Xingchen is really amazing. I didn't expect that the new building material would be so effective!"
"Yes. I heard that no one bought it. I thought that thing was not good, but who knew it was so powerful!"
"Or it's said that what Jiang Xingchen made is good. It's true that it's well-known..."
The nobles in the Heluo Territory praised them and did not hesitate to their vocabulary. They originally thought that this time they could not escape, but they did not expect the final result to be so beautiful.
Because the Dahong River has the Dahong River, the flood drainage channels are developed. As long as there is no accident in the flood control embankment of the Dahong River, the impact of this flood on the Heluo River will not be great. The worst thing is to postpone the spring plowing.
The heavy rain continued, and it took a day and a night. Only then did the civilians in major towns wake up. After the heavy rain fell for so long, why is it okay?
It was not until this time that the nobles spread the news that the dam blocked the flood.
"What, blocked it, is the flood not as big as imagined?"
"Impossible, it's a heavy rain every day and night. The upper reaches of the Dahong River are still in the mountainous areas. I wonder how big the Hongfeng is!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
At this time, the heavy rainstorm that had been falling for a day and a night finally fell, and people rushed to the flood control dam to watch.
When people saw the dam from afar, they all felt a strange heart. On the long river bank, it seemed like a steel city wall was standing.
When people walked to the river bank, they couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. The water level of the Dahong River was basically level with the flood control bank. If there was another flood peak... Fortunately, the heavy rain weakened at this time.
"How many times has this flood control dike resisted the impact of the flood peak?"
"It's so solid that it's beyond imagination. It seems that we really misunderstood the Duan family before!"
"Yes, if it weren't for this flood control dike, our home would have been flooded again..."
"Thanks to the Duan family, they finally speed up. I don't want Ling Xun to do that time..."
In just a few days, the people in Heluotong made a turn for 180 degrees of attitude towards the Duan family.
The Heluo consort was saved, but people dared not take it lightly. The water level was already level with the flood control dike. If the rain increased again, there would be no way.
While the people from Heluo Township were staring at Dahong River here with joy and nervousness, the other territories were in tragedy.
The rainfall in Heluo Township is the most serious, but the rainfall in other areas is not small. Moreover, when the heavy rainfall in Heluo Township began to decrease for a day and a night, the rain in many territories was still very heavy.
Helanling, the middle-aged man who refused to buy cement a few days ago, sat on the city wall and looked at the vast ocean below, wanting to cry without tears.
The flood control dam they built only lasted for most of the day before it was broken out by the violent flood peak. Then it became uncontrollable, and the breach expanded rapidly, and it could not be blocked. Then the dam was completely destroyed. Dozens of towns on both sides of the river bank were swallowed by floods.
"Uncle, I said we should buy some cement!" The young man walked behind the middle-aged man, spoke gently, and had a helpless and bitter smile on his lips.
"Can you ensure that the dam does not collapse by buying cement? Such a large flood is rare in a century. No dam will work, even if it is replaced with new materials, it will not work!" the middle-aged man turned his head and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"The flood in Heluotong is bigger than here, but their flood control dam is resisting!" said the young man lightly.
"What, this is impossible!" The middle-aged man stood up suddenly.
"Uncle, I just received the message..." The young man explained, then turned around and walked to the other side of the city wall. The middle-aged man stood there blankly!
At this time, not only the Helan Collar, the Blue Seal Collar, the Mexiling, the Tongxuan Collar... The flood control dams in more than 20 territories could not withstand it.
Those builders and construction families looked at the news in their hands in amazement, and their regrets were all blue. If they had known that cement had such a powerful effect, they would have known that such a big flood would have been so big, they would have to buy it no matter what.
Unlike now, not only did they fail to suppress the Duan family, but they also became famous. Who would use those lords in the future?
After this disaster, all doubts and accusations of the Duan family will disappear, and their reputation may be better than before.
When these people regretted it, there were other areas where there were no flood control dams, and whether there were flood discharge channels, the disaster was even worse.
On the contrary, the Heluo Governor, Qi Yue Governor, Qingshanling, Hongyuan City, and the three Governors on the east side were not much of a loss. The flood control embankment built with steel and cement was unbreakable and did not cause much loss!
In the imperial palace, Emperor Qiankun looked at the continuous rain outside, and his face was as heavy as water. Before the people sent to help Xiangyun leader were in place, the heavy rain that spread over half of the empire began.
One day and one night, according to the news from all over the country, more than 50 territories were seriously affected, with flooding in cities, flooded farmland, displaced countless people, and countless people drowned. The losses of various materials were simply immeasurable and cannot be counted at all now.
"This kind of disaster is enough to regress the strength of my Qiankun Empire for three years!" The emperor's voice was so cold that it could freeze people.
Behind the emperor, hundreds of officials lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak. In the emperor's anger, whoever speaks will be unlucky.
"The major territories have spent huge sums of money to build flood control dams, why do they still look like they are now? More than 50 territories across the country were affected, and more than 20 flood control dams collapsed!" The emperor said as he slowly passed by the officials in the front row.
The officials' heads were lowered, fearing that the emperor would call him out for questioning.
"Tell me why the flood control dam led by Heluo is fine, why the Qi Yue is fine, why the Hongyuan City and Qingshanling are fine!" The emperor asked again.
"This is a Star Monthly!" The emperor walked to the table, picked up a Star Monthly, and shook it, saying, "It states that Jiang Xingchen has developed new building materials, which can make the building stronger... And all flood control dikes that use this new material block the flood peak... Are those builders fools? Even if they are fools, the major lords are still fools..."
The officials trembled. They all heard the Emperor's intention. The Emperor was going to attack the builders. Although the builders did not violate the imperial laws, it was understandable that the flood was too large. But if the Emperor wanted to find a reason to deal with you, there was no reason to say.
Today, the Emperor was talking here and told the ministers that I had decided and should not jump out and whine. Otherwise, I would be welcome.
After understanding the emperor's meaning, these ministers will certainly not speak. The emperor did this to quell the public's anger. Countless people were affected by disasters, and they would definitely have a great resentment. If someone instigated him at this time, it might lead to a disaster.
If the eight kingdoms make efforts at this time, the empire will be really unpleasant, and there will be too much loss of materials and personnel.
After saying these words, the emperor waved his hand to ask all the officials to retreat, and then found two great doctors, Huangshi and Qingyun. The so-called major epidemic after the major disaster, we must prepare in advance to avoid further disasters.
For four days, it was early May, and the heavy rain finally stopped gradually. The sun shone through the dark clouds and swept away the haze for days.
However, when the sun came out, the water did not recede, and the atmosphere of the empire was still heavy and sad. Crying could be heard everywhere in major territories.
At this time, several leading builders who dealt with the Duan family were invited to the imperial judicial department. Several major builders looked at the accusations against themselves in black and white, and they all collapsed. What building materials are inferior to good things, and what cutting corners are all the words they said about the Duan family at the time.
"If I had known this, why should I have been there?" The few people looked bitter and regretted it too late! They were all very smart and knew that the Emperor was going to take action against him. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
ps: Sorry, it's too late again! I won't say any reason anymore. I'm sure I'm not slapped in the face... Don't slap anywhere!
