Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The floods this year were so severe that Emperor Longqing had to send Duke Cheng to represent himself on Mount Tai to offer sacrifices and pray:

    ¡®The floods in my neighborhood are unusual, affecting the common people, and I cherish the good news.  I hereby send a special officer to pay tribute, but God will bless you and bring blessings to the people.  Warning.  ¡¯

    By the way, I helped Duke Cheng get the achievement of adding one to the number of sacrifices to heaven on behalf of the emperor and adding one to his concubine.

    ????????????????????????????????? The Taishan girl in the georgette skirt is good, the uniform is tempting, Chong Er!

    But it seems that Cheng Guogong¡¯s serious errands were not done well.  Should the flood flood or flood?  Especially the lower reaches of Taihu Lake have become flood areas.

    Su and Song Prefectures, nine counties and one prefecture were flooded, and eight prefectures and one prefecture were flooded. The only county that was not flooded was Kunshan County, which was flooded every year in the past.

    Mr. Zhao Erye used all the efforts of the whole county to build a 300-mile embankment and made a great contribution. He did not give the flood any chance!  The great Second Master Zhao, he has inherited the glorious tradition of the old Zhao family!  Zhao Gongming, Zhao Zilong, and Zhao Kuangyin are possessed by their souls at this moment. He is not fighting alone, he is not alone!  He is not a human being There are 300,000 people in Kunshan County behind him!  With the full support of Jiangnan Group!  I have Mr. Zhao as my strong backing!

    Dear old parent Zhao Shouzheng, we are also going all out to fight the floods this year.  He braved the wind and rain and led the people in the county to use sandbags to heighten and strengthen the embankment, keeping the floods firmly out of Kunshan County.

    Even Kunnan, which was flooded when flooding occurred in previous years, was spared.  The water levels of Dianshan Lake and Chenghu Lake continue to rise, but they are never higher than the impregnable lake embankments.  He and his levee lived up to the expectations of the people in the county. The ferocious floods were completely unable to deal with the rubble concrete levee!  The water receded, the game was over, and Kunshan County won!  They completely defeated the flood for the first time, the great people of Kunshan, the great Mr. Zhao!  Happy birthday to one!

    ??~~

    "But God seems to have leaked. The heavy rain keeps coming, and the water coming upstream is fierce. The swollen lake water must have a place to go.  Now that the east bank is out of reach, the lake water can only flow to the west.

    In mid-June, Dianshan Lake and Chenghu Lake began to flow back upstream, flooding tens of thousands of acres of Dugang Polder in Wujiang County.

    What¡¯s worse is that the entire Wujiang County is actually silted out of Taihu Lake, and there are many natural lakes in the territory.  The lakes are connected through canals and rely on flood discharge from Dianshan Lake and Chenghu Lake.  Once the water in these two lakes cannot flow eastward, dozens of lakes of various sizes in Wujiang County will rise simultaneously. By the end of the month, the entire county will turn into a lake.

    With the fact that they are upstream and protected by the Taihu Stone Pond, the people of Wujiang who always laugh at the flooding of Kunshan finally have a taste of the flooding of the Wujiang River.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Come to my house this year.  Who the hell would have thought that water can flow from the lower reaches to the upper reaches, Yaoshou!

    Of course, the people of Wujiang were not willing to sit still and wait for death. Several wealthy families organized people and took advantage of the night to cross Dianshan Lake by boat. They covered dozens of masons and touched the lake embankment in Kunshan County.

    They know that Kunshan County has also built stone ponds, but they are not too worried because Wujiang County has built stone ponds for decades and they are well aware of the weaknesses of this seemingly solid stone embankment - the stacked stone ponds can withstand rough waves.  Test, but the glutinous rice mortar used to bond the stones requires a long solidification period.  In a rainy place like Jiangnan, it may even take two or three years to achieve indestructible effect.

    Therefore, when building embankments, holes should be drilled in the stones and iron ingots and ingots should be used to firmly embed them.

    The embankment of Dianshan Lake was only repaired at the beginning of this year, and it has only taken half a year.  This year there has been more rain than in previous years, so the setting effect of the mortar will definitely not be good.  As long as you knock off those iron ingots and ingots, use a crowbar to pry between the cracks in the stone, and the stone will definitely fall off!

    The plan was good, but when the masons stepped onto the embankment and faced the water, they were dumbfounded.  How can there be any stones, iron ingots or iron ingots in this broken embankment?  It's basically just a bunch of broken stones of different sizes put together with mortar!

    No wonder it was repaired so quickly.

    "Beggars can really get by" Many Wujiang County masons sneered.  They had more or less heard of cement, but none of them had personally seen its power.  Moreover, when Wujiang County looks at Kunshan, it always looks down upon it, thinking what good things can the beggars have?

    What¡¯s more, when I hear the name cement, I feel weak, okay?  Can it be solid if it is both water and mud?

    Mr. Zhao would have to vomit blood if he heard their discussion.  The great invention that he wanted to use to change the shape of the world was actually laughed at by a group of country stonemasons.

    ¡°It¡¯s easier without the iron!¡± the security guard leading the team shouted in a low voice: ¡°Dig!¡±

    The masons then picked up their chisels and hammers, clanking in an attempt to open up the embankment.

    It didn¡¯t take long to realize that something was wrong. Why is the cement as hard as stone?  When the chisel goes down, it can only break off a piece the size of a fingernail?  ?Take care of it.  As long as I say hello to the county, I can hold them down.  "

    As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass, put it into Mr. Zhao¡¯s hand, clinked the glasses forcefully and said, ¡°But these bastards dared to get into such a big trouble behind my back, and they want to come here to rob someone again this morning. They are really lawless!¡±

    "Hey" Mr. Zhao had no objection to Sanbaijiu. He took a sip and said with a straight face: "Brother Fengpo, I'm not telling you, you're not very good at being a county magistrate. Look at me here, brother.  , the squires, the big families, the big families, all behaved like little sheep. If I say go east, who dares to go west? If I say chase the dog, who dares chase the chicken?"

    In the eyes of Mr. Zhao, there is no such thing as imperial power that does not go to the countryside.  All the squires in his county are nice to talk to and well-behaved. He likes the ones in Kunshan County very much.
