Huwa asked: "When I came from the sky, I saw soldiers and civilians in the surrounding cities of Batu City evacuating to the wilderness outside Batu City. Although there are Pengshan, Zhangren Mountain, Meishan and other high places nearby to avoid floods, but in the mountains
But we can’t accommodate so many people for long-term survival, what will senior brother want to do then?”
Young Master: "Junior brother, I want to ask you for help. Since the immortal family masters can create a mountain range on the upper reaches of the river, then by gathering the power of all the people, and with the help of junior brothers and other masters, we can also create a mountain range in the upper reaches of the river.
A long embankment was built on Ba Yuan."
The Shaowu shoveled soil with his hands on the spot and blocked the gap between Meishan and Zhangren Mountain on the sand table. In this way, the three mountains, Pengshan, Zhangren Mountain and Meishan, were winding and connected, forming a bathtub on the sand table.
shape, and Batu City is located in the center of this "bathtub".
The passes between Pengshan and Zhangrenshan, and Meishan and Pengshan are all high and floods cannot reach them. The only gap before was the place where Shaowu shoveled earth into a dike to block it. This was what he thought hard about in front of the sand table.
A countermeasure thought up by the Night Queen.
People in the surrounding cities of Bayuan can move to higher places nearby, but the original Bashi Kingdom is mostly in densely populated plains without so many mountains and highlands. There are too many people to be moved, and large-scale distances are far away.
I'm afraid it's too late to move. Even if there is time, there won't be that many places to settle.
So Shaowu did the opposite and moved them all to the wilderness outside Batu City.
The young minister took a bucket of water from the guard and poured it slowly on the sand table, simulating the final landscape after the flood. About one-tenth of the land under the jurisdiction of Pakistan will be submerged, and nearly one-third of the total population affected by the disaster.
1. But after blocking the mountain pass, the wilderness surrounded by mountains around Batu City will not be flooded.
Of course, it is not without reason that Yanzhao, the first king of Ba State, chose to build his capital here. This wilderness is the most fertile land and the richest product in Ba Yuan. Moreover, the warehouse in Batu City and the grain storage in each village are also the most abundant.
of.
Shaowu has asked Mr. Kuramasa to make a simple calculation. If all the land that can be cultivated is cultivated and the fields are planted with crops, although they are not so delicious, the yield is high enough, it can barely supply nearly one-third of the world.
The affected people are well fed.
What Shaowu filled in on the sand table was only a small piece of soil, but in fact the gap between the mountains was more than forty miles long. It would take three months to build a long embankment that was high enough, wide enough, and strong enough.
, this is a huge project that is unimaginable in normal times. But now is an extraordinary period, and we have to do it even if we don't do it. We can only do our best to complete it.
The Shao Wu planned to move the people from the six plain city walls around Batu City here, and they have already set off one after another. The young and strong laborers were gathered together, and even the elite field army formations guarding the capital were sent out. The Shao Wu asked Hu Wa for help.
Help, he will come forward to preside over this big project.
Huwa did not refuse, but nodded and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will do my best and call all the monks in Pengshan Dojo to help. If any of the experts sent to the city walls return to Batu City, I will also invite them
Help. Senior brother, leave all the military formations around the capital, as well as the strong men who can be organized, to me for the time being."
Such a request, if it were another situation or another person, the monarch would never agree to it. The capital garrison formation, as well as the most elite mobile field army formation in the country, can recruit all the strong men, even the young ministers
All the personal guards and honor guards were handed over to Hu Wa, and there were not even many bodyguards left around the young minister.
But this Ba Jun nodded his head simply and thanked Hu Wa in public.
Panhu glanced at Huwa and said: "Brother, I feel that your current condition is not the best. Although you are not injured, you are very weak. Don't force yourself on some things. Just direct and dispatch from the center. We will give you our full help."
Xuanyuan also said: "Husband, please don't cast spells yourself during this period. You still have me for everything."
After Huwa arrived at Batu City, he was indeed close to exhaustion. Although he was a true immortal with superb methods, he could not catch up with Xuanyuan in terms of magic power at the moment. He really needed to take good care of himself for a period of time. But the situation was urgent, and he could only
It would be most reassuring and efficient for everyone if he came to direct the embankment construction project, otherwise Shaowu would have to do it himself.
However, as Bajun, the young minister has to take charge of the capital, and there are too many things to deal with. Building the embankment is not only building the embankment, but also the dispatch of tools and materials, the continuous supply of food from the rear, and the continuous dispatch of laborers.
All these require coordination and coordination. Even though you are in the palace, you can imagine that there is panic and chaos in various parts of Pakistan today.
The young minister looked calm, but he must have been feeling very anxious deep down. However, he could not show any panic, otherwise his subjects would be even more confused.
Building embankments to block the mountain gap left a basin and wilderness in the center of Bayuan that was not flooded. This was simply a stroke of genius, but things were not as simple as imagined.
There is a river outside Batu City, named Bashui. Bashui originates from Meishan Mountain, runs diagonally downward through this plain, flows out from the pass between Meishan Mountain and Zhangren Mountain, and finally merges into the river. The long embankment Shaowu wants to build
The Bashi River must be cut off. What if waterlogging occurs? Huwa deduced and finally thought of another way.
According to the terrain, at the upper reaches of the river, a mountain peak will collapse with force, splitting the river into two. The new river will flow along a mountain depression in Meishan to the outside of the plain, and to the other side of the Meishan Mountains.
side.
Special personnel should be posted at the bifurcation of the river, because this river is also the irrigation water source of the Batu Basin. When the water is small, more water will be diverted into the basin, and when the water is high, less water will be diverted into the basin. This can ensure both field irrigation and safety.
It will not cause waterlogging.
Although this project is not as large as embankment construction, it is still difficult enough. After discussion, it was finally decided that Mr. Panhu and Mr. Changling would be responsible for it. Huwa would ask the monks in Pengshan Dojo to help, and in the future he could also call on Tai
B is on duty.
After discussing all matters, Huwa, accompanied by Xuanyuan, was about to direct the construction of the embankment. The young minister asked again: "Junior brother, as far as you know, how long will this flood last?"
Huwa smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard for me to say for sure, but I heard that Master Chong Bo Gun was appointed by Emperor Yao as the minister of water control in China, and it was agreed that the water control period would last for nine years. Senior brother, please make preparations for this."
So long! All the ministers of the Ba Kingdom changed their expressions. However, Huwa had a lot to say yet. Chong Bogun agreed that the period of water control was nine years because he knew that the weather would probably continue to rain for nearly ten years, and the target was also the big river.
The situation in the river basin, and he knew that in front of the emperor and the officials of the imperial capital, it was impossible to tell for a longer time.
But the situation in Bayuan is completely different from that in the big river basin. The Shaowu wanted to build a "bath" in the center of the plain to resist floods and resettle the people, but the entire terrain of Bayuan was like a huge bathtub. Floods from the upper reaches were overflowing, and people were affected by the witch clouds.
Blocked by mountains, the East China Sea will become larger and larger, and water will pour upward along the tributaries of the river.
Even if the rainy weather ends and the floodwaters from the upper reaches no longer flow down, the water in Bayuan will recede very slowly. The terrain in some places will even be permanently changed. It will take at least ten or twenty years to restore it to the original state.
Years of preparation, this is even a generation's time away.
The reason why Huwa did not say this is that the sufferings that the people of Bayuan will suffer are already severe enough. We must give them more hope and do not lose confidence and courage at this moment.
…
Two months later, a dam with a length of more than 40 miles between Meishan and Zhangrenshan has begun to take shape. It is still difficult to predict how much impact the flood will have when it comes. In order to ensure safety, this project must not be completed.
It is just to build up the soil on the flat ground, first dig a trench underground, fill it with stones as the foundation, and then fill it with rammed earth.
The young minister evacuated the people from the six nearby cities to the plains around Batu, and recruited young men to build embankments. This was the largest recruitment of civilians to build fortifications in the history of the country of Ba. The capital was guarding the army, and the country of Ba was mobile.
Field military formations and even the monarch's personal guards of honor were sent over, working day and night without stopping.
This long embankment was designed by Shrike. Depending on the terrain, the top height ranges from five to nine feet, and the width of the base is two to three times the height of the embankment. Without the help of Huwa and other experts with great magical powers,
Even if so many manpower and material resources were urgently used, it would never be completed within three months.
Fortunately, there were Huwa, Xuanyuan, and many experts who came to help one after another. Many experts flew to various places with golden staffs on the Red Festival, conveyed the emperor's orders and urged the people to move, and then returned to Batu.
The emperor Fengxian built the embankment and came to help one after another. In addition to using magic to build the embankment, the experts also used various magical powers to strengthen the embankment.
As a true immortal, Huwa has no reservations and teaches everyone all kinds of magical powers and spells that he has learned. The most important secret technique was used by him at the meeting of Baichuan City back then, and now he has performed it more perfectly and skillfully.
It's the magical power of building ships out of clay.
Although this magical power can theoretically be used by those who have cultivated in the Four Realms, it is the most effective in this situation. Moreover, Huwa taught and explained its secrets, which is also very inspiring to all the great monks.
Two months later, Ba Jun, the young minister, also came to inspect the embankment. He did not bring the monarch's ceremonial guard, and only a few personal guards accompanied him. He and Huwa walked side by side on the embankment, and there were many civilians working on both sides.
After bowing down and saluting, Ba Jun waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that everyone should not be formal. The young minister came just to see the progress of the project, and even the senior officials were not alarmed.
Huwa pointed to the distance and said: "The forty-two-mile embankment has appeared, but it still needs to be heightened, widened, and reinforced. According to this progress, it should be able to meet the requirements in another month."
Young Minister: "Junior Brother Panhu, the diversion and diversion of the upper reaches of the Ba River have been completed. Junior Brother, does he know what is going on with Lord Chongbo Gun? How long can he hold back the flood with the Godly Bead of Breathing Soil? Can Junior Brother ask again?
It’s good for a brother to know what he knows.”
Although Huwa did not publicize the name of Chong Bo Gun, he did not hide the matter from the young minister. Huwa shook his head and said: "To urge the mountains to turn into pearls to block the flood, we must use great magical powers to cast spells. It is inconvenient to disturb Chongbo at this moment."
Lord Bogun. But since he said three months, we will prepare according to three months. The floods will surge from the Lower Boundary City and Duanjiang City areas to Batu. It will take at least ten days. The time should be enough. It depends.
The situation in other places.”
Shao Wu: "Now I have received reports from various places one after another, and the arrangements are generally in place. Some tribes, although they may be reluctant, are obeying the king's orders... Junior Brother, how can I be so virtuous and capable as a brother that I can achieve such high rankings?
Everyone is trying their best to help, and it’s all thanks to you!”
Huwa said calmly: "Today's scene reflects the virtue and ability of my senior brother. It is also a blessing for all the people of Ba Yuan to have a Bajun like you."
The young master sighed and said: "Such a grand occasion, I wonder if future generations can reproduce it? Junior brother, you should understand what I mean, I am not referring to this disaster."
Huwa told the truth: "Bayuan in future generations may be in chaos or in chaos, or may be more prosperous, but times have changed, and it is difficult to have a Bajun like you again, and it is also difficult to have such scenes. Although things in the world are always familiar,
, descendants always inherit their predecessors, but each generation has its own luck and achievements, and there are also things that are difficult to repeat."
If it were not Shaowu who sat on Bajun's throne today, but Zhenggu, Xiangqiong, Silk Rang, even Fan Chong, I am afraid there would not be such a scene. Shaowu's current prestige and appeal in Bayuan, in fact,
Has far surpassed his ancestor Yan Zhao.
Thousands of years from now, Bayuan may still experience wars and divisions, and may be reunited again, and may become more powerful than it is today. However, the prestige of the monarch will hardly exceed that of Shaowu. This is the result of special merits and opportunities.
Not to mention anything else, experts from all over the world gathered together to help, even the real immortals went down to the lower world to help, and no one made any requests to Ba Jun. It should be noted that these experts who helped this time, as kings, are usually unable to command.
They can't even find anything moving. When faced with disasters, they may rescue close relatives, but they won't go all the way to Batu to obey Bajun's orders.
Is this because of Shaowu’s face? It’s true! Some people may come here for Huwa’s sake, but this is also Shaowu’s opportunity. Even if Bajun is a descendant of Shaowu, it will be difficult for him to have another one.
Our ancestors were created like this, but they can have their own share of splendor.
…
Just when Shaowu was sighing on the embankment, in the prestige city of the former Silk Kingdom, the city lord had been beaten to a pulp on the spot. Sheep Hanling's face was as cold as frost, and he placed the golden staff and the red knot in front of the city lord's seat.
On the case, he asked: "Who is most familiar with the settlements, population distribution, various roads, etc. of the various tribes in Weizhi City?"
All the officials and servants were covered in cold sweat. Master Cangshi replied tremblingly: "It should be the Prime Minister Kaochao."
Seeing that no one else had any objections, Yang Hanling asked again: "Where is the test?"
A thin man with a short beard stepped forward and said, "I'm just taking a test."
Yang Hanling looked at him and said: "Stand still, above the lobby, don't let your legs shake! Let me ask you, what is the crime of the city lord?" (To be continued.)
