Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

After leaving the west gate of Kang'an City, many villagers on both sides of the avenue were cleaning up the silt in the ground, and they kept talking about the reason for the flood.

"It must be a flood, what else do you need to say?" A man with a loud voice said, "The water has never risen before, what else can it be except a flood?"

Someone also said worriedly, "It's okay if we go away, but if not, I'm afraid we'll be submerged in the next heavy rain! We'll have to do it for nothing."

"You crow's mouth, don't talk nonsense~~ If you are flooded again and delay the spring plowing, then you will be in big trouble."

Shen Yuan listened to the words of these two people, and she didn't believe in "walking dragons". There are no dragons in this world. If there are any dragons, they are the kind of giant pythons on the Han River Plain that are thicker than buckets. They can turn into dragons. No wonder!
So, as one of the uncles said, if the root cause of the problem is not resolved, the next time it rains, we will suffer.

The group soon came to the river.

I saw that many willow trees on the bank were pushed down by the flood, and the trees as big as washbasins~~ showed how fierce the water was that night.

"The river is indeed wide enough." Shadow looked at the wide river very strangely.

"Go to the downstream." Shen Yuan said and started to walk downstream, explaining to Ying Ying and Aqin as he walked, "In a situation like this, the downstream of the river must be blocked by landslides or something, causing the river to be narrow The flood can't get out."

"I also think it should be like this." Aqin echoed, "I grew up in the mountains and have seen this kind of situation."

Shadow also nodded in agreement, "If this is the case, it can be solved by widening the narrow place."

"En." Shen Yu'an responded confidently, thinking that this is the case in all likelihood.

However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations. After walking a few miles downstream, I didn't find a narrow place, which is a bit bizarre.

"Could it really be walking Jiao?" Shadow scratched his forehead, his face full of disbelief, "This river is straight and wide, how could it prevent the flood water from flowing out?

Shen Yuan spread her hands, she found that investigating this seems to be much more difficult than investigating the case, nature is really unpredictable!
Several people turned back along the road.

Along the way, he met many villagers who were clearing the fields. Shen Yuan stepped forward to inquire about the situation and asked everyone's views on the flood, and everyone agreed that it was a "walking flood".

Hearing this answer a lot, Shen Yuan couldn't help but believe it.

On this day, Shen Yu'an and the others felt their legs go weak, but they didn't find out why.

After returning to the mansion in the evening after dinner, Shen Yuan lay on the bed with a wrinkled face, while Ji Xun squeezed her shoulders and beat her legs.

"Ah Xun, do you believe in the saying "Zaojiao"?" Shen Yu'an put his hands behind his head, blinking his big almond eyes, his eyes were full of confusion, "If it wasn't for "Zoojiao', how did this flood happen?" of?'
"Is Yu'an investigating the lower reaches of the river?" Ji Xun's slender fingers gently pinched Shen Yu'an's slender jade legs. Xun Jun blushed.

"Yes." After a while, Shen Yu'an squinted his eyes and replied, "Shouldn't the downstream be blocked in this situation, and the flood water can't flow out to form a barrier lake, flooding the entire Kang'an City?"

With a smile on Ji Xun's pretty face, he expressed another thought.

"I may wish to consider another situation. If the upstream river is blocked, causing the river to overflow the river and rush towards Kang'an City, this situation is also possible."

Shen Yuan patted his forehead and sat up abruptly, "A Xun, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it? I will go upstream to investigate tomorrow."

The next day, Shen Yu'an felt as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. He set off early in the morning with Ying Ying and Aqin. He ate scallion pancakes for breakfast, and he also brought a few scallion pancakes for lunch. He also planned to investigate carefully. .

I went all the way upstream along the river, and after walking like this for a long time, I found that the problem was coming. The river bed was getting shallower and filled with silt. If there was a heavy rain like this, the river would definitely overflow from the river and rush to the bottom. Kang'an City.

Shen Yuan looked around and found that there was a valley further ahead of the river. It seemed that the heavy rain had caused mudslides, and a large amount of sand and stones had blocked the river channel, causing the river bed to become shallower.

Just as he was thinking, Shadow exclaimed excitedly.

"Master, come quickly, surprise~~ Heavenly surprise, what is this 'walking Jiao', this is a surprise from God to us."

"Surprise? What surprise?" Shen Yuan hurriedly ran towards the shadow, wondering if he had discovered a gold mine?
But she quickly denied it in her heart, because she saw that the shadow was standing on a stone protruding from the water in the middle of the big river. That stone didn't look like a gold mine.

"Where is this surprise?" Shen Yuan and Aqin both ran over and looked at each other.

"Under my feet!" Shadow looked at the rocks standing under his feet with ecstasy, "Do you know what this is? This is iron ore"

"Iron ore?" Shen Yu'an was shocked, and couldn't hide his excitement.

There are only [-] soldiers and horses in the entire Lingzhou territory, and after the prince and Prime Minister Zhou recalled hundreds of thousands of troops from the southwest, they directly stationed in Tongzhou. Isn't it obvious enough what this means?
Moreover, some time ago, I received a secret letter from the capital, saying that Prime Minister Zhou and the crown prince were plotting to replace Wei Liangsa, the general of the Southwest, so the most urgent need in Lingzhou was to recruit troops for emergencies.

The military pay for recruiting troops and horses to expand the army is still enough. The most difficult thing is weapons. How can we fight without weapons? Can’t we use sticks and fists?
However, there are no other mines in Lingzhou except for the poisonous iron mine in Yangjia Village.
I didn't expect, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that God actually gave the Night King a gift!
"This, this is great!" Ah Qin excitedly grabbed Shen Yu'an's hand, even she knew the importance of iron ore.

"Brother Shadow, are you sure it's iron ore?" Shen Yuan asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm sure." Shadow said as he knocked a piece of ore off, jumped to the bank and showed it to Shen Yu'an, "Look at the color and texture~~ This is definitely iron ore, and the iron content is extremely high, absolutely There will be mistakes."

Shen Yuan nodded, "If it's iron ore, why is it under this water?" He looked puzzledly at the upper reaches of the river, and vaguely saw a mountain in front of him that seemed to have collapsed, "Could it be that this ore fell from that mountain? , Pushed here by the water? Brother Ying, go and have a look, if so, the mountain should be an iron mine.'
"Yes, master." The shadow responded, using his kung fu to land on the collapsed mountain, and he came back soon after inspecting it.

"Yes, that mountain is indeed an iron mine! It is absolutely true."

"Yeah." Shen Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Go, go back and report to Ah Xun."
