C144 water disease

After that, the broken dam was simply filled with sandbags and earth. In the summer, after three consecutive days of torrential rain, the blockage was broken again, and even worse, everywhere else began to collapse. The blockage was unstoppable, causing the water to flow for a thousand miles, causing the houses to collapse under the continuous torrential rain and the people to leave.

They had picked out a few people who were skilled in swimming from the sea. What they had done in the past ten days was to search everywhere in the light boat, including the victims who had fled to the high ground, climbed to the rooftops, and begged for help from the trees. They had also fished for survivors who clung to driftwood in the water.

"Can we still save the living?"

"It's very rare. In the first few days, there were some every day, but even if we saw some corpses on the highlands or rooftops, they were all corpses. The search and rescue team had reduced them to just the few of us."

"Continue paddling and walk the same path as you did before. This King wants to see the calamity."

The scope of the flood extended from the Cloud Traversing River upstream to the downstream. The human traffic within a radius of several dozen miles was completely barren, only leaving behind a layer of dead air. Most of the floating corpses had been washed to the lower levels of the river, and there were even piles of corpses, furniture, and a rotten stench coming from some places.

"Go back, Your Royal Highness. There should be nothing left to see." Guan Qi peeked at them uneasily.

Gu Qingli suddenly said, "No, drive closer to the Cloud Traversing River and take a look. We'll take a walk from downstream to upstream."

Guan Qi widened her eyes in surprise as she stared at Gu Lengfei. She thought to herself, after seeing so many corpses, it's not enough yet.

Xiao Yi Xiu was also slightly surprised.

"Princess, the closer we get to the Cloud Traversing River, the deeper the water. If there's a storm or something, our little boat won't be safe." Guan Qi and the others were all familiar with the water, but if anything happened to the noble King Mo and the imperial concubine, they would have to move their heads.

"It's fine. This King and Princess are both proficient in swimming." Although Xiao Yixiu didn't understand Gu Qingli's intentions, he didn't hesitate to support her.

Gu Qing Li's eyes were bright as she looked at him with a smile. She thought about how he had ignored his illness and jumped into Yu He. It seemed that he had truly been tempted by him from that moment onwards.

"What do you want to see?" he asked in a low voice.

Gu Qingli's expression turned serious again. "I want to see the terrain and how we can control the water because of the benefits."

Xiao Yixiu raised his eyebrows in surprise. Although she always gave him surprises, even giving him a feeling of mysteriousness, but if she could even cure water, wasn't that too magical? He decided not to make any more suggestions. He wanted to see what she wanted to do.

Although Cheng was a water conservator, he didn't know much about construction projects, nor was he a real weirdo officer. His identity was to take charge of construction and water management, but in reality, he couldn't do anything about this vast disaster.

In the distance, Mount Jun was undulating. The two peaks were facing each other. It was said that a couple could not form a mate and could only be named after the word 'Jun' when they had transformed into one. This mountain was the highest mountain peak in the entire Scarlet Mountain Range. Even in this scorching summer, the mountain peak was still as white as snow that reached into the clouds, never melting.

"Look at the peaks in the distance. The spring floods here are caused by the melting of the snow and the warm spring sun, causing the water level to rise. The summer floods, in addition to the rising water level, are also related to the continuous torrential rains."

Guan Qi thought, there's no need for this, she said. The weirdo had already told Lord Ci Shi.

"Were the former weirdos mainly trying to build high and sturdy walls?"

"Of course, the previous weir official was very skilled in water conservancy projects. He had a lot of experience in construction of a dike, and he had a good sense of foresight. He had always been a personal supervisor and never slacked." Guan Qi sighed, "If he had been here this year, things wouldn't have been so careless. They wouldn't have caused this wall to collapse!"

Judging from his tone, this weirdo was very popular among the local people.

Gu Qingli only smiled faintly, "That's right. He built a dike and surrounded the river, strengthening it year after year. This allowed you all to eliminate water calamity in three years. The contributions truly aren't small. However, this year's flood was so turbulent, and it was also because of him. "

Guan Qi's face stiffened, but he did not say a word. Although he didn't dare refute the secondary wife's words, his eyes were full of disagreement. For a woman to criticize a water conservancy project is a mistake, not to mention the fact that they respect her.

However, there was actually one consequence of his treatment, and that is that the higher the flood, the higher the embankment will be built. Over the years, all of you have been strengthening the embankment, and it looks like it will be extremely sturdy, but in reality, once the flood breaks down, the water level will be pushed down from above. Do you think that is a good thing or bad thing?

Guan Qi was frozen in place, and did not speak for a long time. Qing Fu, who was sitting on a nearby light boat, was also listening intently.

"Very insightful." Cheng's praise came from the bottom of his heart.

Following his tone, his tone changed drastically: "But, Gu Lengfei, do you have any better ideas now?"

"So, I came to look at the terrain and think about how I could make the water level drop due to the advantage of the environment."

"Director Li?"

"For the next few days, we don't need to do anything. We just need to row this boat and inspect all the surrounding waterways, including the mountain-shaped water potential and the landscape before it was flooded. I need a complete map." For the next few days, we don't need to do anything, just row this boat and inspect all the waterways around it.

"Imperial Concubine Gu …" Cheng Xiang couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi Xiu, was this the prince or the imperial concubine?! He was getting more and more confused.

"Listen to her." Xiao Yi Xiu's smile was warm and gentle.

Cheng Dong was once again flabbergasted, he thought to himself, this prince dotes on his wife too much, can this really work?

"In particular, I need to understand the local terrain and look at the map before deciding on a plan." Gu Qing Li looked at Xiao Yi Xiu inquiringly, but nodded when he saw him nod. "I'll come up with a good plan for you before we execute it."

Guan Qi couldn't say anything else. His Royal Highness didn't object, and even though he had a strange expression on his face, he didn't dare to say anything. What could a mere young man like him do?

The light boat was drawn to the high ground. They tied the boat to a rock and headed towards the prefecture's yamen.

Guan Qi led them through the side door into the court. The first to enter the courtyard was the Guest Hall and the second to enter the side room where Ci Shi took care of business. The second to enter was the courtyard where Ci Shi's family resided.

Compared to the desolate scenery of Chi Yue, the Zhu Residence was like a shrine. It took up a wide area, rows upon rows of buildings were lined with sculptures and paintings were painted on.

Xiao Yi Xiu and Gu Qing Li looked at each other, having a few thoughts in their minds, but didn't say anything.
