This restaurant is not far from the county office, the last daughter-in-law “unfilial” mother-in-law case, Liu Dazhou is in his home to buy two bowls of longevity noodles. Out of the restaurant, Zhu Pingan led Liu Dazhou and others in the rain to investigate the city’s drainage ditches and waterlogging.
Jingnan was an old county, and had been around for hundreds of years since the city was founded. Although the project, not a tofu dregs project, but the drainage ditches are also facing the aging problem, paving ditches of green brick, green slate aging, damage is serious, the ditches are clogged with mud, grass and trees and household waste is not easy to optimistic, now only barely maintain the drainage function only.
Now the amount of rainfall is still in the drainage ditches to withstand the scope of the county’s water is not much, only some low-lying sections of water. If the rainfall increases, the ditch will be difficult to undertake the task of drainage.
This is a hidden danger.
Zhu Pingan put it in his mind and then took Liu Mu and the others to the east gate, focusing on checking the drainage outlets of the county town.
The terrain of Jingnan County was generally high in the west and low in the east, so the drainage outlets of the county were concentrated in the east gate of the county. Drainage outlet is made of natural giant green stone, inverted trapezoidal, divided into three layers, each layer has six square water outlet holes, each outlet hole is fifty centimetres long and forty centimetres wide. The water in Jingnan County is collected from the west and discharged out of the city through the east city gate and injected into the Sanli River outside the city.
The drainage holes were also antique, but fortunately, the giant lapis lazuli was sturdy and remained strong despite the years of baptism.
However, of the eighteen drainage outlets, six of them were clogged with silt, grass, and rubbish, and the drainage was not smooth enough.
“My lord, I’ll do it, I’ll do it.”
Seeing that Zhu Pingan was going to wade over to unblock the blockages, Liu Dazhou, Liu Dahammer and the others had already rolled up their trouser legs with their hands and feet neatly and grabbed the water first, the water depth was just up to their knees, wading to the drainage outlets and poking out the blockages with a wooden stick.
After unblocking, the drainage outlet is like a drain.
After checking the Jingnan County, Zhu Pingan and his entourage along the drainage ditch outside the city, to the Sanli River.
Due to the days of rain, the water volume of the Sanli River was a lot more plentiful than in previous days.
Zhu Pingan stood on the riverbank and looked out for a moment, he couldn’t help but frown, there are quite a few problems.
Firstly, the phenomenon of occupying the river bank is serious. Fields on both sides of the river bank occupied the river bank, besieging the river to make fields, a field like an invader, encroaching on the river bank, in order to better cultivate, destroying the river bank in an unseemly manner.
Secondly, the dyke is a hidden danger. In order to facilitate the diversion of water for watering the land, the dykes of the Three Mile River had a number of places where man-made openings had been dug. Zhu Pingan roughly counted that there were 17 or 18 openings in a short length of about one mile.
Now the water volume of the Sanli River is not big, these openings do not seem to have much effect, but if the water volume does not exceed the river bank, these openings will become ant holes of the dike, and the flood water will drive straight in and devour the villages and the county town.
In addition, Zhu Pingan also found that the embankment has been dug embankment traces of soil, good embankment was dug inward a pit a pit, although the embankment has not been dug through, but the stability of the embankment, the solidity of the embankment has been seriously damaged …….
An ant hole can break a dike of a thousand miles, so how can such a porous dike resist the unpredictable flood.
The small loss of the big, because of private waste of public.
Alas ……
Zhu Pingan couldn’t help but sigh.
“Let’s go, take a look at Feng Yong Reservoir.”Zhu Pingan led Liu Mu and the others from Sanli River, turning towards Feng Yong Reservoir.
Feng Yong Reservoir was the lifeline of Jingnan, not only did it provide Jingnan with abundant drinking water, it also nourished thousands of hectares of paddy fields around it, tens of thousands of acres of farmland were irrigated, Jingnan’s agriculture could not be separated from Feng Yong Reservoir.
Feng Yong Reservoir is located in the mountains, the road is difficult to travel, muddy, Zhu Pingan and others had to break the wood as a walking stick, difficult to go forward. Travelling to halfway, there is a stream spreading, not over the stone bridge, can not see the road, and then I do not know how many similar scenes, in order to be safe, Zhu Ping’an had to decide to retreat, turned back, in the village at the foot of the mountain to find an experienced, strong guide, by which to lead to the Feng Yong Reservoir.
The guide often went up the mountain to cut firewood and was familiar with every blade of grass and tree in the mountain. Although the stream was spreading over the stone bridge, the guide was still able to accurately detect where the bridge was, and led Zhu Pingan and his party to wade through the water and walk along the stone bridge.
Forward mile Xu, and encountered a dangerous situation, landslides blocking the road, but fortunately there is a guide to lead the way, through a hidden path around, although the road is slippery and difficult to travel, but all the way through the safe without danger.
When they arrived at the Feng Yong Reservoir, Zhu Ping An and his party looked as if they had been fished out of the muddy water, almost all of their bodies were drenched, and their clothes were scratched by the grass and trees, stained with grass clippings and mud.
After arriving at the destination, Zhu Pingan gave Liu Dazhou and his guide a portion of pancakes and salted vegetables, and while eating the pancakes with the salted vegetables, he checked out the Feng Yong Reservoir. Fortunately, there is oil paper wrapped, although the pancake was also rainwater, river water soaked some, but the dirt and other spoils are isolated in the oil paper outside, still can be imported.
Days of rainfall, the reservoir’s water level rose rapidly, through the stone column marking scale at a glance. At present, the water level of the reservoir is approaching the warning water line, of course, if the rainfall is always like this, another half a month, the reservoir is not a big problem, it is afraid of a steep increase in rainfall. It is now possible to take advantage of the fact that the rainfall is within a manageable range to open the gates and release water at an appropriate time to lower the water level, enhance the storage potential of the reservoirs, and make preparations to cope with extreme rainfall.
Reservoir embankment berm also has some hidden dangers, berm masonry retaining wall has cracks and broken, but fortunately the situation is not serious.
Zhu Pingan ate a pancake while checking along the reservoir embankment, a pancake was quickly eaten.
Then, another flapjack was rolled and eaten while looking around.
Liu Dagger noticed that the guide was looking at Zhu Pingan with a curious face, or to be precise, watching Zhu Pingan eat the pancake.
“Old township, what’s wrong?”
Liu Dagger couldn’t help but ask, didn’t the gongzi also give you a share of the cake, why do you keep staring at the gongzi.
“I’m just curious, shouldn’t the governor’s grand master have big fish and meat, mountain treasures and sea food all the time? The governor’s big brother, why did he not eat the delicacies and go into the mountains to check out the reservoir in the rain, and ate the soaked pancakes and shredded pickles. We county governor this official is not a waste of time?”
The guide rubbed his hands and asked in a puzzled manner. He had held these words in all the way and couldn’t help but say them when he heard Liu Dazhou’s enquiry.
This cake was a little hard for him to swallow, but the governor’s grand master took a big bite and ate it quite well.
How can one not be curious?
“Hehe, what all the time mountain delicacies and sea food, old township you’ve heard too much about books. Since the Prince to the Jingnan, a meal of delicacies have not eaten, usually than you eat, not much better. If you don’t eat the delicacies of the sea, you’ve become an official for nothing? But forget it, old township, you are talking about that is a corrupt official, our son as an official is not to enjoy the happiness.”
Liu Dazhou couldn’t help but shake his head lol.
