Chapter 469 His wife really found a treasure for him
"You say." Wei Qing said.
Wei Qing admired Chang Yu very much because Chang Yu was indeed a genius in water control.
Chang Yu was very familiar with the entire Yizhou, including every river and every mountain. He had read many books and knew a lot about water management. He also studied under Mr. Song and had rich experience in water management.
The water control plan he designed is the best and most suitable plan for Yizhou, and there are basically no problems with it.
Following his plan, they could avoid many detours and achieve twice the result with half the effort. Compared to the numerous mistakes and omissions when Wei Qing first led the construction of the dam, Chang Yu's arrival really helped him a lot.
His wife really found a treasure for him.
Chang Yu carried with him a map of Yizhou, a map he had drawn himself. It contained a detailed record of every river and every mountain. He had drawn it bit by bit over the years as he traveled all over Yizhou.
Chang Yu spread the map in front of Wei Qing.
"Sir, once these river embankments are built, the flooding in this area will be alleviated." Chang Yu said.
Wei Qing nodded. "Yes, this is the area most severely affected by the flood in Yizhou. Once the flood is over, the people will be able to return and rebuild their homes."
"But the flood in Yizhou hasn't been resolved," Chang Yu said. "You see, the water is diverted here, and as the river sand accumulates, the water level is getting higher and higher, which will cause new floods. And here, here..."
Chang Yu pointed out two places: "There will also be flooding."
Wei Qing nodded.
Indeed, what they have solved now is only the tip of the iceberg. It seems that the problem has been solved, but in fact the hidden dangers are still there.
In a few years, floods will happen again.
The people of Yizhou are still in dire straits.
"Mr. Chang, do you have any ideas?" Wei Qing asked.
Chang Yu took a deep breath. What he said next was a huge project. Others would think it was too exaggerated and thought he was dreaming.
"Sir, half of Liangzhou and the entire Qingzhou are short of water. I want to build a canal from Yizhou to Liangzhou, and then to Qingzhou to connect the three states. This canal can be used for irrigation, flood diversion, drainage, and water supply, and it can also serve as a canal to facilitate transportation!" Chang Yu said.
This is actually a question that Chang Yu has been thinking about for a long time. Only in this way can the flood problem in Yizhou be completely solved.
However, the distance from Yizhou to Qingzhou is a full thousand miles. The project is so large that it requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. When ordinary people hear about it, they will think he is dreaming.
Chang Yu had proposed this before and was laughed at.
He felt that the imperial envoy was far-sighted and might agree with his opinion.
However, the imperial envoy remained silent for a long time, and he felt a little uneasy.
Is it really true that he will have to go to his grave with this thought?
He is unwilling to accept this!
Wei Qing thought carefully for a long time before he said, "Okay!"
"Sir..." Chang Yu's eyes lit up and he was very excited.
The adults actually agreed with his opinion?
"I will write a memorial to His Majesty right now to request this matter," said Wei Qing.
Wei Qing said as he walked towards the temporary residence.
Chang Yu jumped up with joy, wishing he could rush up and hug the imperial envoy.
This gentleman is so kind. Not only does he not care about his identity as a member of the Chang family and employ him, he also agrees with his idea which seems incredible to others and wants to write a memorial to the emperor to request this matter!
He met Lord Wu in this life, which was like meeting a mentor!
Some are happy and some are sad.
Judge Zhang felt very uncomfortable watching this scene.
For more than half a month, he was completely excluded.
No matter what he said, the imperial envoy did not accept his advice and only trusted Chang Yu.
He was the magistrate of water conservancy, but he had no say at all.
He was originally waiting for Chang Yu to make a mistake, and then he would find something to hold against him so that Chang Yu would not be able to turn things around. However, over the past twenty days, everything went very smoothly and nothing went wrong.
The flood problem is about to be solved...
no!
The flood problem has been solved. If he returns like this, the imperial envoy and Chang Yu will be considered great heroes, and he will lose his official position!
Judge Zhang gritted his teeth and called over a few of his own men.
"Tonight, take advantage of the darkness and dig up the dam here," said Zhang Tongpan. "Be careful and don't let anyone see you."
"Yes, sir."
…
Wei Qing wrote the memorial and handed it to his confidant.
"Ride as fast as you can and send him back to the capital." Wei Qing said.
"Yes, sir."
Wei Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Wait."
The confidant stopped.
"I will write another letter to the Prime Minister."
When he submits this memorial, there will definitely be a game of chess among many parties, and everyone will take sides based on their own interests.
However, the Prime Minister is different. If he agrees with this plan and strives for it, maybe it will be accomplished!
Wei Qing immediately wrote a letter and gave it to his confidant.
The confidant put away the memorial and letter and turned to leave.
Wei Qing stood up and walked around the room.
Wei Qing stopped and suddenly smiled.
"Wife, you really found a treasure for me." Wei Qing sighed again.
Oh no, he misses his wife again.
How many days has it been since you last saw his wife?
It's been more than 20 days, and I don't know whether I've gained weight or lost weight, or whether I've slept well.
Now that things here are almost done, he can just leave them to Chang Yu and Xu Ziwen. He can go back to Hegu County and take a good look at his wife!
"grown ups!"
"Come in."
The secret guard came in and spoke a few words to Wei Qing.
He was talking about the bad things done by the judge Zhang.
Before, he felt that Zhang Tongpan would do something bad, and his wife also reminded him of this, so he asked the secret guards to keep an eye on this man.
This time, the man could no longer sit still.
They actually came up with such a bad idea as digging a dam. How stupid and evil!
"Follow us and catch him in the act tonight," Wei Qing said.
"Yes, sir."
late at night.
At the dam, several people came to the dam stealthily. When they picked up the tools and were about to dig, torches around them lit up, and several figures jumped out and arrested them all!
At the same time, Zhang Tongpan was worried and couldn't sleep.
If we dig this dam, there will be another flood...
Let’s see how proud Chang Yu will be then!
At that time, he would write a memorial, saying how unreliable Chang Yu was, how he had tried to persuade him, and how the imperial envoy had insisted on appointing Chang Yu, causing great disaster.
The more Zhang Tongpan thought about it, the happier he became. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Several people rushed in, captured Zhang Tongpan directly, and walked out with him.
"What are you doing? I'm an official appointed by the imperial court, please let me go!"
"How dare you! Who are you?"
Judge Zhang was taken into a room while cursing.
The imperial envoy sat there, holding the imperial sword in his hand, his face cold.
And those kneeling below were the people he sent to damage the dam.
His legs went limp and he fell to his knees.
