Favorite peasant concubine

Chapter 209

Li Li'er felt that Yuxuan was sometimes like a child, and was very excited when he saw something strange, "Now there are no people to live in there, the house has not been built yet, how can I let Mr. Yu be a guest?" Where do you live?"

"Ah, but I think there are people living there." Yu Xuan said very disappointed.

"That's impossible. Their houses were washed away by the rain, so they can only live in them before the new house is built."

Yuxuan was taken aback, he didn't expect those people to live in the building for such a reason, "Okay then, after the building is completed, can I live in and have a look, I want to live on the highest floor "Although it is not possible to move in now, it will be possible in the future.

Li Li'er nodded, the apartment building will be completed by the end of the year, so it's no problem if Yuxuan wants to experience so many rooms at that time.

After receiving Li Li'er's guarantee, Yuxuan was consummated.

Soon Li Xiang and the others came back. Although they were a little surprised to see Yu Xuan who suddenly appeared at home to play with Xiao Liu and the others, they still greeted them hospitablely. When they learned that Yu Xuan wanted to stay, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qian were in a hurry. Got busy in the kitchen.

Yuxuan didn't look like he was a guest at someone's house, he played checkers with Xiaoliu and the others and didn't even have time for dinner, if Li Li'er hadn't told them to stop, Yuxuan would really miss playing with Xiaoliu and the others It's dinner.

Li Lier asked Yuxuan to live in the upstairs room reserved for Jun Yi.In the evening, she asked Yuxuan to go to the study to tell her about the topography of their place. The situation on both sides of the river should also be explained in detail. In fact, the design of the bridge should be checked by the designer himself, but Yuxuan is located in the southwest. It will take a month to go there. Li Lier is planning to expand her business now, so she doesn't have the time to go there for the time being.

But it would be nice to have Yuxuan here. He is very familiar with it. In the past, whenever the bridge was washed away or flooded, he would go to the scene with his father to observe the people's situation.

According to what Yuxuan said, the terrain on both sides of the river is slightly different, and the terrain on the other side is lower, so flood disasters have always occurred, and if there is a flood, the bridge on the river will be washed away, and people on the other side of the river can only escape. All go up high.

And the flood will not subside for a while, so they will either stay in place and wait for the flood to subside or the government will rescue them, or they will take a detour, but this road is also full of dangers, after all, they have to go through the deep mountains.In fact, one tenth of the number of casualties in flood disasters every year is injured or lost their lives when encountering wild animals.

It is also difficult for the government to cross the river. The water flow during the flood is already turbulent, and it will also bring some destroyed house wreckage or uprooted trees, so those who accidentally rescue will also be buried in the flood. middle.

Every time after a flood occurs, Prince Yu will repair the stone bridge, and even improve the stone bridge more than once, but the result is still the same. He also thought about letting people from the other side migrate here, but he has no idea how to resettle it. It is also a big problem for them to be placed there, and the people on the other side are also reluctant to leave their homes. Even though they have been severely injured many times, they still don't want to leave.

"Actually, the situation in the place you mentioned is better than mine here. The terrain here is relatively low, and it used to be flooded, but you should have seen it just now. I built a protective barrier on the bank of Xiaoqing River. The embankment and the river inside actually play a diversion role. In addition to building bridges, you can also dig rivers to divert the river water like I did. Otherwise, even if the bridge is built, the place will still be flooded. There is no cure."

Yu Xuan nodded solemnly. It is true that the villagers can escape only by building a bridge, but their homes will still be flooded. He was only thinking about building a bridge before, but he didn't notice this problem.He also saw the high wall built on the river bank just now, and he thought it was just a fence, and the half-person-high wall on the river bank surrounding the building was just to prevent people from falling into the river. Didn't expect this to work.

"But if it's just a berm like that, can it withstand repeated floods, and won't it be washed away by floods?"

"Drainage of rivers already reduces the power of the torrent. Besides, I didn't say that the berms you have here are like mine. According to you, the rivers in your place are also big rivers. Ordinary berms It can't be stopped at all. I'm talking about dams. Besides, there are also material problems. You have seen the Lijiang Bridge. It is all made of cement. No matter how cement is stronger than stone or bricks. According to the current situation of cement As far as the promotion is concerned, you probably don’t know about cement, but now some roads in the north are paved with cement, and once the Lijiang Bridge is passed, it is estimated that cement will really become famous all over the world.”

"Your ones are those gray powders. That thing is really powerful. I didn't expect it to be such a solid thing when mixed with sand and soil. It turned out to be cement. I don't know who invented this thing. It's really powerful. But Something so powerful should be very expensive.”

Li Li'er glanced at him, and continued, "The emperor should know about the situation in your place, right? By then, a memorial will be submitted and most of the problems will be resolved soon?"
