Zheng Xiong didn't care, but Zhu Biao frowned and said.
"Since last night, it has been raining heavily in the Huguang Chief Administrative Department, and the heavy rain has continued continuously. A warning was issued today."
"Today, the water levels of the Yangtze River and Yellow River have risen significantly, and shipping has almost come to a standstill."
"Heavy rain comes from the west. If the rain continues, the Yellow River may overflow and everyone along the Yangtze River will suffer disaster."
"I hope God will be kind enough to stop it and stop it from happening again."
Um, no way!
It is really possible that the city of Nanjing will be flooded.
Never heard of it!
During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a flood, and the river flowed back into Nanjing, causing the city to become marshy and the people to be displaced.
Now that Lao Zhu is in charge, no matter how big the river is, the safety of Nanjing City is still guaranteed, and this situation will definitely not happen.
When necessary, there will definitely be trade-offs.
Unless you don't want to do it anymore.
Still, the news is important.
We need to make preparations for flood prevention and fighting.
I don’t know if cramming is useful.
After hearing this, Fan Xianzu shook his head.
"News came from the Chief Envoy of Huguang in the evening that the heavy rain has not stopped yet, and flooding has occurred upstream. Yunmengze has been opened to pour water back into the river to relieve pressure downstream."
"This move can only relieve the temporary pressure. If the heavy rain continues, the consequences will be unimaginable."
The Yangtze River is not as flooded as the Yellow River. Yunmengze is on the one hand, and the 800-mile Dongting Lake is on the other hand.
First there was Yunmengze, and then there was Dongting Lake to regulate floods. Floods in the Yangtze River were not as serious as floods in the Yellow River.
Everything is good and bad. When Yunmengze was responsible for the flood discharge, a large amount of sediment was also taken away, forming the vast Jianghan Plain.
The vast area from the north of the "Huarong Uplift" to the south of the Han River was collectively called Yunmengze in ancient times.
Before the Qin and Han Dynasties (more than 2,000 years ago), Yunmengze was a continuous lake and swamp. The Yangtze River flowed here in an overflow state, with no distinction between rivers and lakes. The water level naturally waxed and waned with the seasons.
When Yunmengze was in its heyday, the total water surface area reached 26,000 square kilometers, becoming a natural storage place for floods from the Yangtze River and Han River.
Therefore, at that time, "the flood process in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River was not obvious and there were very few river disasters."
While the nine holes and thirteen mouths diverted the flood, a large amount of sediment blocked the nine holes and thirteen mouths, and the diversion effect became smaller and smaller. People blocked the nine holes and thirteen mouths one after another under the prerequisite that the diversion rivers were blocked. The embankment further expanded the cultivated land area.
By the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the last "Hao Point" on the north bank was blocked. At this point, a line of Jingjiang embankments was formed, as well as a single Jingjiang river channel and the vast and prosperous Jianghan Plain. Yunmengze was completely destroyed.
Due to the backflow of floods from the Jingjiang River, Dongting Lake further expanded and replaced Yunmengze as a natural place to regulate and store floods from the Yangtze River.
During the annual flood period, more river water pours from Chenglingji into Dongting Lake, forcing Dongting Lake to "connect green grass to the south and red sand to the west, spanning seven to eight hundred miles." During the flood period, the lake area reaches more than 6,000 square kilometers.
Dongting Lake has entered its heyday and has become the largest freshwater lake in my country.
Zheng Xiong all knew that Dongting Lake was so famous that it was difficult not to know.
Now, the Yangtze River is in danger of flooding, and the Jingzhou front line is flooded and designated as a disaster zone.
It's fine in the short term, but certainly not in the long term.
In this way, Dongting Lake has become the first choice.
Now, the importance of Dongting Lake has not yet been highlighted. Zhu Biao and Fan Xianzu were worried, and Zheng Xiong intervened.
"There is Yunmengze in Jingzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, and Dongting Lake in Yueyang in the south of the Yangtze River. When necessary, water from the river can be diverted back into the river, so the downstream will not be burdened."
As soon as Zheng Xiong said this, Fan Xianzu and Zhu Biao were startled and looked at Zheng Xiong.
Makes sense.
To the north of Jingjiang River, dams are constantly being built, and the Jianghan Plain is becoming more and more indispensable.
It's okay to vent for a while, but definitely not for a long time.
It's okay to vent for a while, but definitely not for a long time.
This surprise was for Zheng Xiong. Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiong still understood this and gave suggestions.
"What the doctor said is not unreasonable, but the terrain is still a little different. In addition, the embankment built in Jingzhou has not been closed. Now we can only try to reduce the inflow of river water."
Well, as you all know, there is nothing we can do about it. That’s what the Chief Envoy of Huguang said.
The art of language?
"Dongting Lake? I wonder how much river water can be accommodated? If it can fully accommodate most of the river water, perhaps we can build a dam as soon as possible to divert the river water into Dongting Lake. The land north of the Yangtze River is very important now, and it is often harmful to the country. .”
Zhu Biao also joined the discussion from an overall perspective.
Sure enough, what elite education teaches is different.
From Zheng Xiong's point of view, if it can be done, that's it.
Otherwise, if Huguang is familiar with it, the world will be rich.
But these are all invisible things, and it’s not that easy to adjust the situation.
But if you have ideas and a little action, you can definitely advance the time.
"What your Highness said is true."
Fan Xianzu immediately flattered him, but Zheng Xiong was speechless.
I'm not in my position, I don't want to do my job, I don't want to say more.
But the topic obviously went off the rails, and things weren't that easy, so Fan Xianzu brought the topic back.
"In the long run, this should be the case. Flooding is not a serious problem at the moment. Shipping is currently suspended, but we don't know how long it will take to recover."
"If God is good, it will take a few days to recover. If God is not good, it may take half a month or a month."
I hope the worries are unfounded, but there are gains. Zhu Biao is still in a good mood, and then he replies.
Zheng Xiong didn't say anything, but Fan Xianzu brought eight topics to Zheng Xiong.
"As far as I know, it has been a long time since the bricks and stones have been delivered to Yihou's first city wall construction project. The river is currently shut down. I wonder if Yihou can guarantee the construction period while waiting for the bricks and stones to be delivered?"
It's none of your business, just hang it up high.
When the incident happened to him, Zheng Xiong's eyes froze, and his expression gradually became serious.
Let me go, there is something wrong!
Tieniu swears by it, but only on the premise of ensuring supply.
The difference between a delay of a few days and a delay of more than ten days is huge. What if?
I dare not think about it!
Tieniu is definitely in danger of losing his life.
You may not die, but you still have to shed your skin.
"It's okay if it rains for a day or two. Once the river channel is restored, there are enough manpower and materials for the first construction, it will be completed soon, but if it takes a long time, the construction schedule may be delayed."
After saying this, Zheng Xiong's eyes unconsciously turned to Zhu Biao.
If something went wrong, Zhu Biao would have to put in a good word.
Zhu Biao's pupils shrank when he was looked at, what are you looking at me for?
"During a natural disaster, if the construction period is delayed~"
Zheng Xiong shook his head, sighed, and then disappeared.
It seems that nothing is said, everything is left unsaid.
You've been vaccinated in advance, Zhu Biao, can you still not say a few words to yourself when the time comes?
The same goes for Fan Xianzu.
If you say it so clearly, your subconscious mind will also say a few good words to yourself!
