"I heard that you are good at exploring water veins and geology?"
Huandou suddenly asked Yuzai, and Yuzai was stunned and nodded without any hesitation.
"know a little."
Huan Dou smiled: "A little bit? It's not a good habit to be too modest. It will give people a hidden feeling of arrogance."
"Do my words sound similar to Ah Hong's, in that they are more unpleasant to listen to?"
As he spoke, he asked Yu Zai again, and Yu Zai said: "Good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease, but good words are hard on the ears and good for action... I will keep in mind the great leader's teachings."
The people of the southern tribes call several big figures in the Central Plains "big leaders" to show their respect for them. Of course, they themselves are indeed the big leaders of the Central Plains. Of course, the Central Plains people, especially those with some status, will call them by their official positions, such as Great Engineer, Great Musician, Great Sikong... After all, the one above them is already the "Emperor".
"That's...that's a good thing."
After hearing this, Huandou realized that although he didn't know that Ruanzai had changed the word "loyalty" to the word "kind", he naturally liked the changed words very much.
"Unpalatable herbs can cure serious diseases. Voices of kindness are often unpleasant to the ears. You are well said. No wonder the great wizard of the Xunshan clan takes you with him. It seems that he wants to teach you more."
Huan Dou said this, and suddenly said: "Then, tell me about your understanding of water vein trends, geology, and water control. With so many people respecting you, you must be very capable."
Yu Zai suddenly asked back: "I wonder what aspect the leader wants to ask about?"
Huandou was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "I heard that there was a landslide disaster here recently. When he was in the Central Plains, Gonggong was responsible for the task of water control, and he would also encounter these things. When the mountain collapsed and fell into the water, When the water veins are blocked, a barrier lake will form."
"Gonggong's improper handling in the early years was also due to lack of experience. After this kind of barrier lake collapses, it will bring a large amount of water flow impact to the downstream areas. The water is higher than the river, impacting the quicksand and soil. This is Flood."
“Gonggong’s solution is to build dams and divert the water to surrounding tribes to form small lakes for tribes to use water. However, such behavior often causes collapse and fragmentation after heavy rains, causing floods to still occur. "
"As for you... let's take this barrier lake as an example."
Wen Ming, who was not far away, pricked up his ears at this time.
This was exactly what Wen Ming had mentioned to Gonggong before, asking him not to engage in this kind of water storage project again, but Gonggong laughed at him for being just a stupid kid who didn't know much, so he burned his proposal directly.
Gonggong has been managing floods for a thousand years, so why do we need a child’s suggestion?
Those with Chong clan should mind their own business!
"If Chong Bogun fails to control the floods, he will be blamed by the emperor when something goes wrong!"
Gonggong said this, because he was already very dissatisfied with the emperor for sending Chong Bogun to the water conservancy department to distract him from his power. Although the Chong family had great status in front of the emperor, it was only for now. The Gonggong family Cooperating with the Di Hong family, if Chong Bo Gun fails to control the floods, and the four emperors combine into one book, it will really be enough for Chong Bo Gun to drink a pot.
Ruan Zai looked at the great wizard, and the great wizard of the Xunshan clan said: "There is nothing to be humble about, Zai, tell the truth."
"yes."
Yu Zai thought for a while and said to Huan Dou: "I have three strategies, divided into upper, middle and lower. The time, manpower and materials required are different. I don't know which one the chief would like to hear?"
Wen Ming, who was not far away, did not dare to breathe loudly.
Shui Zheng, who has Chong family, is also staring at Yu Zai.
Huan Dou asked: "What are the three strategies of upper, middle and lower? Is the top strategy fast and good?"
Yu Zai said: "No, the best strategy is time-consuming and labor-intensive, takes the most effort, takes the longest, and cannot be effective immediately."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little confused.
"Then what's the best idea?"
Yan Long laughed: "Even if it is Gonggong's flood control or Chong Bogun's water control, at least some results must be seen immediately. If there is no effect at all, it will have been replaced long ago."
"Wizard of the Akakata clan, you said that it takes a lot of time, but there is not much time to spend on the spring plowing every year. If you can't eat food in a year, hunting will pass by. Two years, three years, In five years, ten years, are we really going to go back to the era of the Wulong Clan?"
"Yes, floods are fierce and can be treated, but we also know that once people move, they will change the local environment, and floods will still follow. There is no way to avoid it. The only way is to treat it, and fast."
"If we really go backwards and let people in the world continue to die, then how can we face the ancestors in the stars? That emperor's name will be refuted, severely trampled under the feet of future generations, right? !”
Cang Shu held back a sentence: "The so-called best strategy is to be quick and accurate. I am attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold. How can it take three years to defeat a small tribe and tell the emperor that this is the best strategy?"
Yu Zai: "Controlling floods is different from war. If you want to be quick, you won't achieve success. And attacking tribes, as the big leader said, can actually drag on for three years. There are also ways to drag on for three years."
Cang Shu snorted: "I don't need you to teach me how to fight. You can continue talking about your flood control."
Huan Dou said: "The so-called last resort is the one that takes the least time and has the fastest results? Then since it is such a good method, how can it be said to be the last move?"
Yu Zai said to Huan Dou: "Please ask me to come here one by one as the big leader."
"The harm caused by barrier lakes, such as the construction of dams by Gonggong, is actually a method, and it is a middle strategy."
"oh?"
Huan Dou became interested and secretly thought that Gonggong had finally met a close friend.
Every month I receive three to five insulting messages and harass Shitou's co-workers. If I knew that there was a small clan leader in the south who was good at water management and recognized his governance ideas, I would probably drag Yuzai and have her head burned and beheaded on the spot. The one with yellow paper recognizes his younger brother.
But the next sentence, what Yuzai said made Huandou a little confused, and Gonggong was probably going to kick the newly cooked Gutou into the mud.
"Because Gonggong was unable to grasp the living conditions of the people downstream, and did not have a clear understanding of the mountains and terrain, as well as the flow of water, he could only adopt this method. However, although he used my middle strategy, he had no clear understanding of the dams. The methods and methods of reinforcement have resulted in wrong work and behavior!”
Yu Zai took a big breath, first spoke with praise, and then made a sharp turn.
"As I just said, if you want to use the middle strategy, you must have a complete understanding of the people in the downstream area, the living conditions of the tribes, the starting point, and the direction of the mountain and field water veins. You must also understand and survey, and reinforcement is not just random reinforcement! "
Huandou felt uncomfortable hearing this, so he interrupted and said, "Let me tell you what to do first."
Yuzai stopped talking, stared at Huandou, and still gave a plan seriously:
"Hunt the mountain and release the water. If you are lucky, the water will flow along the original river course. If you are unlucky, the water will submerge the cultivated land, but that is much better than the final result of the flood caused by blockage and siltation!"
When Huan Dou heard this, he suddenly laughed a little, but showed a disappointed look.
"It's easy to say that it's easy to release floods from the mountains. It's indeed simple and fast, but this is asking you to control the floods. How can you just release the floods directly!"
However, Huandou was dissatisfied with the two answers given by Yu Zai, and did not want to listen to the most complicated and useless advice. However, after everyone else, Wen Ming became very excited when he heard these words!
The reason why we should release the water is precisely because this is the fastest and easiest way to minimize losses!
Wen Ming looked at Yu Zai, his heart was full of excitement at this time, he couldn't wait to follow the best advice, but Huandou no longer wanted to let Yu Zai talk anymore, which made Wen Ming anxious and disappointed.
"How can we possibly cure floods with people like this who know nothing at all?"
Wen Ming looked at Huan Dou angrily, but he dared not speak out. However, Shuizheng, who had Chong clan, patted Wen Ming on the head and whispered something to him.
"Actually, what he said makes sense, but Huandou doesn't like it. Wen Ming, if you want to talk to him about these things, go over there and stay for a few days. If Sanmiao can find some water control here in the future, It’s a good idea to return to the Central Plains and have more exchanges with Uncle Chong.”
Wen Ming was stunned, and then became happy!
