"I heard that the Sixth Young Master broke through the Mohist City of Traps in one day and massacred all the disciples in the city.”
"The entire City of Traps is piled up like a mountain. Blood flowed into the mountains and rivers, dyeing the river red.”
"You don't have to think to know how miserable the situation was at that time.”
"Presumably, this Sixth Young Master is also a ruthless and ruthless character.”
"That's right. Now that Jiujiang County has become like this, will he kill us all in a fit of anger?”
"I don't know. Let's see how the prefect deals with him.”
At the city gates of Ying Du, dozens of elite soldiers were standing there, whispering to each other.
In front of them, Ji Lin had his hands behind his back and was looking at a place not far away.
The melancholy on his face never stopped.
"Ta…!"
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from the main road not far away.
An elite force of cavalry was rushing towards the gates of Ying City.
"Yes,"
"Stop talking. The Sixth Young Master is here.”
Under the watchful eyes of the elite soldiers, Ying Ziheng and the others rushed to the city gate.
Jiujiang County Governor Ji Lin quickly stepped forward and said,"
"Jiujiang County Governor Ji Lin greets Young Master.”
Dozens of elite soldiers followed Ji Lin and saluted Ying Ziheng.
Ying Ziheng didn't speak, and no one dared to raise their heads.
After all,
The person in front of him was the one who slaughtered the entire Mohist City of Traps in one day.
Vicious and brutal.
"Lead the way."
Ying Ziheng ordered coldly.
Then, Ji Lin hurriedly walked forward and said,"
"Young Master, please follow me."
Once they reached the city gate, the ground was filled with water.
Ying Ziheng's fierce eyes shifted and landed on the drainage channels on both sides of the city gate.
The two drainage channels were filled with water.
After entering the city, both sides of the street were filled with commoners. They were all barefooted as they stood in the puddles.
The entire Ying Capital was flooded.
There were only a few places on high ground that were dry.
The puddles of water reached their feet, and the commoners 'feet turned white from the blisters.
"Is he the Sixth Young Master?"
"I heard that he broke through the Mohist City of Traps in one day and cured the plague in Nanyang County.”
"I wonder if he can cure the flood in Jiujiang County.”
"What I heard was that the Sixth Young Master was vicious and brutal. He slaughtered everyone in the Mohist City of Traps, and blood flowed like a river.”
"Shh, don't you want to live?”
Some of the onlookers were whispering among themselves.
Suddenly,
A little girl said in a clean mulberry voice,
"Young Master, save us. The flood has flooded the Zhuang family and we have no food to eat.”
Before the little girl could finish her sentence, her father covered her mouth and smiled at Ying Ziheng.
Ying Ziheng knew that he was afraid.
"Everyone, don't worry. As citizens of Great Qin, Great Qin will not ignore you if Jiujiang County suffers such a natural disaster.”
"I have come to Jiujiang County to deal with the flood. There is no need for you to worry.”
Before they even entered the city gates, Ying Ziheng already knew that the Ying Capital had been flooded after checking the drainage channels.
How was it possible for humans to resist a natural disaster?
However, on second thought, if the Sixth Young Master could even cure the plague, he might really be able to cure the flood in Jiujiang County.
Hearing Ying Ziheng's words, the people in the city were skeptical.
………
Under Ji Lin's lead, Ying Ziheng and the others entered Ying Du County.
"Young Master, please have some tea."
Huang Linglong poured a cup of hot tea for Ying Ziheng and then retreated to Ji Lin's side.
Ying Ziheng drank the hot tea to warm his body.
Ji Lin hunched over and took the initiative to apologize.
"Young Master, Ji Lin is incompetent and unable to control the flood. The crops were destroyed by the flood and there was no harvest."
"Ji Lin took the liberty to distribute the grain in Jiujiang County's granary to the people and hid the truth from His Majesty.”
"Young Master, please convict me."
Ying Ziheng put down his teacup and said,
"Natural disasters are merciless. This is not your fault. How much food is left in the granary?”
Ji Lin lowered his head and said,
"Less than a hundred stones."
Hearing this, Ying Ziheng sighed and ordered,
"Boil the remaining grain in the granary into porridge and distribute it to the commoners who have no food.”
"Jiujiang Prefecture is closer to Sishui Prefecture and Kuaiji Prefecture. I will write down a grain transfer order. You can take these two prefectures to transfer some grain over to appease the people first.”
"After that, we will select the able-bodied men in the city to deal with the flood.”
Ji Lin raised his head and looked at Ying Ziheng, somewhat surprised. He was already prepared to be beheaded, but unexpectedly, the Sixth Young Master did not blame him at all.
The problem was handled in an orderly manner.
At this moment, Ji Lin seemed to understand why Ying Ziheng was able to cure the plague in Nanyang County.
Ji Lin came back to his senses and nodded heavily."Yes, Young Master."
Then, Ying Ziheng quickly wrote down the order for the transfer of food on the bamboo slip.
At the same time, he wrote a piece of news about Jiujiang County and sent it to Xianyang.
Putting away the brush and ink, Qing-er looked at Ying Ziheng with anticipation and curiosity.
"Young Master, do you have a way to deal with the flood in Jiujiang County?”
Ying Ziheng stood up and walked out of the door.
"The Han River has a large amount of water flow, and the water level is higher than the river embankment, which caused the flood."
"The Han River embankment can't be reinforced and raised. If we want to lower the water level, we can only dig a new river channel to divert the Han River and lower the water level.”
"The flood destroyed the crops and flooded the Ying Capital. This means that Jiujiang County's drainage channels are not enough.”
"Therefore, we need to increase the drainage channels in Jiujiang County and dredge them. Even if there is a storm, it will not cause floods.”
When the people present heard this method of dealing with the flood, they all looked at Ying Ziheng with admiration.
Previously, Huang Linglong and the others had thought of using stones to build the Han River embankment, but the huge Han River could not be blocked at all.
He had also sent people to use wooden barrels to transfer the water from the Han River to other places, but he had never thought of digging a new river channel.
Ying Ziheng's explanation made it seem like it was not difficult to deal with the flood in Jiujiang County.
…………
The next day.
In Ying Du County, thousands of able-bodied men stood neatly barefoot. In their hands, they were tools for digging the river.
"Those who participate in the construction of the new river channel can receive three taels of grain every day.”
Before Ying Ziheng could finish his sentence, thousands of able-bodied men responded in unison,"Thank you, Young Master."
In this era, food was more important than the sky.
Although three taels of food was not much, it was enough for them to survive.
The mighty river-digging team arrived at the Han River. Just as Ying Ziheng had said, the Han River had completely surpassed the river.
Ying Ziheng commanded the people to dig a new river channel ten feet away from the river. After the river channel was completed, they would open up the river channel.
If the river channel was not completed, opening up the river would only aggravate the flood and even kill countless people.
