At this moment, Su Cheng, who was convinced by Ye Qing, the first thought that came to his mind was that the idea Ye Qing mentioned must be like a shark's fin river embankment, a rare good strategy. He couldn't wait to urge:
"Come on, tell me, is there any other good idea?"
Ye Qing pointed to the water surface of the Ying River and said: "I think this shark fin embankment can break up the water flow on the river bank."
"Then can we build a dam that can separate the water in the middle of the dangerous part of the Ying River?"
As he spoke, Ye Qing knelt down, took out three copper coins from his arms, arranged them in a triangle, pointed at the coins and said:
"It was built in the shape of an axe, with the part facing the river flowing sharply, and then the two diversion dams were spaced apart and arranged like this copper coin."
"Divide the rushing river into two parts and slow down the flow after they collide with each other."
"Moreover, maybe this embankment can save people who fell into the water in the future and become an isolated island for them to save their lives."
Bang bang bang!
Su Cheng, whose eyes were shining brightly, clapped his hands in admiration.
"Okay, okay, what a good idea. In this way, no matter how heavy the rain is in the future, or how fast the Ying River flows after it rises, we will still have to turn into a turtle and crawl slowly in Huaiyang."
"However, the water level is now high due to heavy rains. We can only wait for the rain to stop and the water level to decrease to find a suitable opportunity to build this branch of the canal in the middle of the Ying River."
"But this method is really good. Ye Qing, you are truly a genius!"
"You can't use the title of genius." Ye Qing, who was not worried that this method was not good, continued modestly: "I just had a sudden idea, Wang Dianli, you can do it if you think it will be useful!"
"It's useful, this is so useful!" Su Cheng grabbed Ye Qing's right arm and pulled him up. Looking at this young man who had come up with a way to save thousands of people, he said with great gratitude: "We won't say anything. I'll kowtow to you again."
With that said, Su Cheng knelt down again.
This time, without Ye Qing to stop him, Chen Yuming gave Su Cheng a funny kick, causing the opponent to stagger.
"Don't kneel down all the time. How can you thank someone so much? If you really want to thank me, treat Ye Qing to wine and meat later."
Su Cheng, who was grinning innocently, immediately said, "Yes, yes, it's your opinion. Look at my brain. I'm confused for a while. I will treat Ye Qing to drink and eat meat."
"This is what I should do, kid. No need to thank you!" Ye Qing waved his hands repeatedly.
Chen Yuming, who also had a happy smile on his face, looked at Ye Qing with the same grateful eyes.
The heart that was hanging in the air completely fell back into my stomach at this moment.
He looked at the turbulent Ying River, his eyes no longer showing any trace of worry or fear.
However, as a prefect, he knew a lot about farming and water control. Looking at the rising water level, the smile on his face disappeared and he frowned again and asked:
"Sioux City, the shark fin embankment can protect the river embankment from being washed away, but if the water level continues to increase and the river water overflows the river embankment, it will still be difficult to preserve this hundred miles of fertile soil."
Hearing this, Su Cheng said confidently: "Sir, there is no need to worry. The embankment has been saved. The manpower to build the embankment can go to dig canals in various sections of the Ying River to divert the water."
"In the past, we were worried that diverting water from the Ying River would cause floods when the Ying River surged. But with the shark fin embankment and the diversion embankment, it will be a good thing if there is heavy rain today."
After hearing Su Cheng's explanation, Chen Yuming immediately understood the key.
What comes to mind is that there are many rivers in Huaiyang, where people can easily get water to irrigate their farmland, and fish can also be raised in the rivers for people to catch fish.
The smile on his face could no longer stop, as pure and sincere as Su Cheng's.
Boom!
The sky thundered again.
The rain is getting heavier.
The heavy rain poured down, making a crackling sound, and it only felt raw and painful when it hit people.
But this time, Chen Yuming and Su Cheng no longer felt despair and trembling.
Instead, they looked fearlessly at the sky, as if they felt that they had defeated the disaster sent by God. This terrifying thunder was the incompetent barking of God, and they couldn't help but smile wantonly.
Su Cheng, who was the first to react, quickly bowed to Chen Yuming and said:
"Your Excellency, Ye Qing has come up with a good plan to break the situation. Without further delay, my subordinates will do it now."
Without waiting for Chen Yuming to reply, Su Cheng grinned and said to Ye Qing:
"Ye Li, when we defeat God, I'll have a drink with you!"
After saying that, Su Cheng turned around and ran away.
Ye Qing felt relieved and turned around to look at Huaiyang City under the heavy rain.
Although it was blocked by the majestic city wall, and although it was not yet night, he seemed to see the candlelights shining in the city.
Chen Yuming, who was on the side, followed Ye Qing's line of sight and looked at the city that he had guarded for three years, with emotion in his eyes.
He raised his hand and landed on Ye Qing's shoulder. His fingers were so strong that the grip on Ye Qing's shoulder was a little painful. After a few breaths, he said happily:
"What you did is very, very good..."
Ye Qing's face also showed a sincere smile from the bottom of his heart.
"If you can do your part, it will be done."
then.
Ye Qing turned his head, looked at Chen Yuming, bowed his hands and said:
"Sir, when I was at the hospital, I heard that the stone was mixed with inferior stone."
"My lord wants to kill them as a warning to others. I think it's better to block them than to disperse them."
Chen Yuming, who was feeling more and more appreciative in his heart, deliberately pretended to be ugly, staring at Ye Qing coldly, with the attitude of "If you don't tell me something, I will punish you for a serious crime."
Ye Qing saw this and said quickly:
"My subordinate boldly proposes to your Excellency that now is the time when money is used to employ people. Those stone merchants can avoid death but cannot escape punishment. We should fine them money and let them use their whole family to help work on the river embankment."
"In this way, we can not only increase manpower, but also peel off the skin of those stone merchants. It can also make all walks of life in Huaiyang city think carefully about it, and people who want to send disaster money can also think about it carefully. Sir, earn a reputation of kindness among the people."
"Moreover, the people on the river embankment hate these shoddy stone dealers. Even if the stone dealers want to be lazy, they can't do it. Maybe they can help build the river embankment and feel the suffering of the people. A wave of inspiration.”
"If we really kill them, the wealthy businessmen in the city will feel insecure and may move their families, which will be detrimental to Huaiyang's tax revenue and people's livelihood."
"This is my subordinate's humble opinion. Generally speaking, punishment is better than killing. I hope you can be careful in your approach."
Chen Yuming said in the medical clinic that he would send the black-hearted stone dealer to the guillotine, which was all in anger.
He sat up from the bottom, and with just his words of justice, he had been devoured by this man-eating dynasty without leaving any bones or dregs.
If you want to benefit the people, in some aspects, you have to be on the same page and get along with your colleagues and wealthy families, so that you can use your fists and kicks to achieve your own goals of benefiting the people.
The method and plan that Ye Qing was talking about now coincided with what he had thought on the way to the river embankment.
Chickens that can lay eggs can create a steady stream of wealth.
Killing the goose to retrieve the eggs is something that cannot be done unless forced to do so.
Moreover, you cannot kill chickens in front of a group of laying hens, lest the chickens become frightened and unable to lay eggs, which would be bad.
If you really want to kill it, you have to kill it where other chickens can’t see it...
Chen Yuming did not answer his words and changed the subject:
"I know that you are injured. You have made good plans to protect the embankment. You have made great contributions. I will not wrong you. You can leave now."
Unexpectedly, the wise and far-sighted Chen Yuming did not listen to his proposal, which made Ye Qing a little surprised.
However, the status of the two men was very different in the world. When the prefect spoke, he, a small subordinate, had no choice but to comply.
Ye Qing, who was wearing a raincoat, put away all other expressions on his face, leaving only respect, bowed his hands and said, "Yes."
Then, he walked quickly down the river embankment.
If it weren't for the injury to his left arm, Ye Qing would have wanted to help build the river embankment here.
After Ye Qing disappeared on the busy and noisy river embankment.
Chen Yuming raised his hand and touched his rain-covered beard, and said with a smile:
"This kid has a good idea. He is indeed a rare smart person."
