Chapter 1463 The grain depot is empty
There are many people and strength, and after two hours, the hemp ropes and sacks in Jingyang were gathered on the embankment of Jinghe River.
The Yangtze River and the Yellow River gave birth to Chinese civilization, but from ancient times to the present, these two rivers have brought not only abundant water and brilliant civilization to Chinese descendants, but also endless disasters and unspeakable pain.
When it comes to water control, no nation in the world can compare with the Chinese nation.
During the thousands of years of the reproduction of Chinese civilization, the technology of water control can be described as changing with each passing day, and countless methods have been discussed and even put into practice.
The rain is getting weaker, but the raging flood is still roaring, and the water level of the Jing River has remained high.
It was already dark, and the torches could not be lit due to the heavy rain, so Fang Jun ordered his soldiers to build several high platforms with wooden piles. Zhang Fangyuan.
Fang Jun wore a coir raincoat and directed the peasants to weave the hemp rope into a net, and then stood beside the embankment and ordered the soldiers to nail wooden stakes more than ten feet long into the river embankment near the gap in the embankment, forming a dense row. .
Turning around, he was about to tell the next step, but he saw Lin Ruofu and two officials from the Ministry of Industry instructing several clerks to hold up umbrellas, knelt on the ground with pouting knees, and put their heads together...
"What are you guys doing?"
Fang Jun couldn't help being curious, and leaned over to have a look.
But they found that these people spread a box on the ground in the river water that had already overflowed the embankment, and then prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and were muttering and writing...
Hearing Fang Jun's question, Lin Ruofu raised his head, and said solemnly: "Fang Shilang's method of water control is really unprecedented. Although it has not been proven whether it is applicable, we believe that it is a first-class method for waterproofing and strengthening embankments. , should be recorded in detail, and then spread to the world, it will surely benefit the world.”
Fang Jun is speechless...
"What kind of first-class strategy is this? You turn a blind eye to the real first-class strategy."
"Fang Shilang's words are wrong..." Lin Ruofu straightened up, with a look of admiration on his face: "Since ancient times, water control, how to stabilize soil and rocks from being washed away by the torrent, is nothing compared to heaven. Fang Shilang, on the other hand, uses rope to make a net His method to overcome this problem in one fell swoop will surely be imitated by the world, and it is indeed an innovation that benefits the country and the people."
Fang Jun shook his head, and began to direct the soldiers to put the rope net into the water.
Dozens of soldiers with good water skills took off their clothes, tied them in a string with a thick hemp rope, and then jumped into the rushing flood without hesitation.The current was too fast, and a vortex was formed near the gap. When a person jumped down, he was swept away by the current and disappeared. It took a long time for his head to come out, and the people on the dam were relieved.
If it weren't for the hemp rope connected in series, no matter how good the water quality is, it would not be able to withstand this monstrous flood...
Then one end of the rope net went down the embankment, pulled from one end to the other end little by little, and was tightly fixed on the wooden stakes nailed into the embankment.
The soldiers were ordered to put earth and rocks into the sacks, push them into the gap and sink into the bottom of the river. The rushing water carried the sacks into the middle of the river, but they were blocked by rope nets, unable to take them away.
Fang Jun continued to fill the gap with earth and rocks, and said to Lin Ruofu and the officials of the Ministry of Industry: "Actually, the best way to control the water is not to rescue the danger, but to strengthen the embankment." He pointed to the not far away The official road: "See? The official road built with cement is still unimpeded even in the rain and snow. If the entire section of the river embankment that is prone to bursting is poured with cement, how can we be afraid of the flood? No matter how powerful the flood is, it is impregnable. In front of the river embankment, there is only obedient obedience."
The official from the Ministry of Industry smiled bitterly and said, "That's how easy it is to talk about it? Not to mention the cost of the cement, how big is the scale of firing the cement to cope with the repair of the world's rivers? Although this method is good, it is far from reality."
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "That's wrong. You are the Ministry of Industry. You should improve your skills and promote technology. Cement is developed by yourself. It has only been available for a few years. Is there any way to improve it? Err Have you ever explored it? In the final analysis, the world is still short-sighted and has never paid attention to various new technologies."
This made the officials of the Ministry of Industry a little embarrassed, but it was irrefutable.
The servant in front of him once worked in the Ministry of Industry, and he knows how much the whole world despises various crafts and technologies.
However, this is the perception of the world, and no one can change it...
A gap was quickly filled, and the sacks filled with earth and rocks were blocked by rope nets and wooden stakes, tightly blocking the gap, and the raging flood could only roar and rush down.
The crowd on the embankment was excited, and without Fang Jun's encouragement, everyone ran excitedly to the next gap.
As long as all the gaps are blocked and the entire embankment does not collapse, then Jingyang may survive this flood...
It seems that there is a way to save the bad luck of the homeland, and the people of Jingyang are naturally scrambling to be the first.

On the other side, Liu Jie led Wei Yifang back to Jingyang City with several censors under his command and a group of soldiers.
Mr. Pianpian, who had been applying incense and powder before, had long had his hair in a messy bun and looked anxious, and his neat official robe was full of mud and water stains.
The storm is like a rock, and Jingyang City is empty, like a ghost.
Almost all the people in Jingyang have gone to the embankment to fight the flood. When the flood was raging, no one wanted to flee here with their families and become slaves of refugees. Instead, they chose to compete with fate for the right to survive. This left the city empty. The wind and rain raged.
Wei Yifang looked ashamed, and was escorted to the door of Yicang behind the official office in the city. His whole body seemed to be dejected as if his bones had been removed...
The corners of Liu Ji's mouth were raised, with a mocking expression on his face.
He looked down on Fang Jun, and always thought that a family member like Fang Jun who relied on his family power and the emperor's favor to do whatever he wanted was really shameless and no different from a scum.But looking at Wei Yifang in front of him now, he found that Fang Jun, who was also regarded as a dude, was really stronger...
At the very least, Fang Jun is really capable. No matter how bad the situation is, he will stand up straight and refuse to give in, and will carry the "stick" to the end.
And what about this one in front of me?
Liu Ji is sure that even if he asks Wei Yifang whether he got into his father's concubine's bed, this kid will honestly explain it...
No integrity, no backbone.
"Magistrate Wei, please open the righteous warehouse. I want to check the amount of stored grain myself."
"This...the key is not on someone's body..."
Although Wei Yifang knew that he could not escape the crime, there was still only a trace of luck left.
How many corrupt officials did Liu Ji experience?Now he sneered and said: "It's okay, I will send soldiers to go to the county government to get the keys from you, and take the accounts of the Yicang by the way, and I will check them one by one."
Wei Yi looked pale.
accounts?
In fact, there is no need to look at the account, because when Liu Jie opened the door of the righteous warehouse, he found that there was no grain in the whole righteous warehouse...
Not even a mouse in sight.
"Ha ha……"
Liu Ji smiled angrily.
It is a common phenomenon that the children of aristocratic families or local officials use some hands and feet to earn some benefits from it. Even Yushitai turns a blind eye to it and does not care about it. Don't look for the nasties in it.
In the officialdom, since there are certain things that everyone has tacitly agreed to, we can only abide by them, even if these things are unreasonable or even illegal...
But being able to do it so decisively and thoroughly as before is unprecedented.
How greedy and stupid would such a person evacuate the whole warehouse?
Liu Ji's original intention was to catch a son of Jingzhao Webster's son and impeach him fiercely, so as to increase his influence and reputation, but he unexpectedly dug out such a daring idiot...
"The county magistrate of Wei must not tell me that no one has donated grain to the Yicang in Jingyang this year." Liu Ji sneered.
Wei Yifang was dejected, and begged: "I am the son of Jingzhao Wei, if Liu Yushi can let me go, Jingzhao will report later..."
Liu Ji shook his head and sighed, this kid looks like a dog, he is really stupid...
Stepped forward and patted Wei Yifang on the shoulder, Liu Ji sighed and said, "At this point, do you still have to take chances? The entire court's eyes are on Jingyang at this moment, let alone you are just Jingzhao Wei's son, even if you He is a child of the royal family... so what? Hearing my advice, telling the truth about everything can be regarded as avoiding the pain of flesh and blood. I don't have the power to adjudicate cases, but once His Majesty is furious, I will The case must be handed over to the 'Baiqisi'...those vicious fellows will make you regret coming to this world."
Wei Yifang was so frightened that Ji Lingling shuddered, and asked involuntarily: "What's the matter with 'Baiqisi'?"
It's just reselling the food from the charity warehouse, and it's not about seeking to usurp the throne. How could it get into the hands of "Baiqisi"?
Liu Ji was really overwhelmed by this mental retardation... Just as he was about to speak, a censor behind him trotted in from outside the warehouse, went to Liu Ji and whispered: "The 'Baiqisi' has come, saying that it is for His Majesty Order to investigate the case strictly."
"puff"
Wei Yifang on the side fell to the ground, his eyes were blank and his soul was lost.
It's just that he couldn't get in the way of his cousin's bewitching to steal and sell the grain from the Yicang, and the total grain money he got was only tens of thousands of guan, can this alarm the emperor?
What a miserable fate I am...
