The Greatest Uncle of All Heavens

Chapter 756 Dayu's Flood Control
Another aspect of Shun's strategy for governing the country is "Xiang punishes with codes, exiles forgive five punishments". The shapes of five punishments are drawn on utensils to serve as a warning; exile is used instead of corporal punishment to show leniency.However, whipping, punishment, and redemption were imposed, especially for criminals who refused to repent, so that the bad guys were punished, and the people of the world were convinced.

However, unforeseen events occurred. In the later period of Shun's reign, a great flood broke out in the flood, and the disaster became more and more serious.Shun was not very proficient in this way, so as a last resort, he entrusted the important task of water control to Zhuanxu's son Gun.

After receiving the order from Emperor Shun, Gun packed up his luggage and went to control the water with all the people. Gun adopted the method of blocking, spending manpower and material resources to build dams to force the flood of the Yellow River to return, and to block the river to store water, so that the people's agriculture can have a better life. source of irrigation.

Although this method temporarily quelled the flood, it was not long-lasting after all. Ten years later, the flood broke out again, and it was more ferocious than before.

Although the flood was not cured, the people were still in distress, which made Emperor Yao feel helpless and troubled.Later Emperor Yao listened to the advice of his ministers, saying that Yu, the son of Gun, was a disciple of Empress Yunxiao under the ancestor of the sage Shura.

After Yu accepted the task, he immediately, together with Yi and Hou Ji, called the people to come to help.He inspected the river course and reviewed the reasons for his father Gun's failure. He decided to reform the water control method and changed the blocking into dredging. waterway.He led the people who controlled the water to travel all over the country. According to the benchmarks, they opened up mountains and built dikes when they encountered depressions, so as to dredge waterways and divert floods into the sea.In order to control the water, Yu exhausted his brains, was not afraid of hard work, and never dared to rest.

Although Yu's method was good and effective, in fact the flood was not that simple.Yu only completed a short section of dredging the river before he ran into trouble.It turned out that it was the monsters of the water tribe who caused disasters, causing waves and floods. Before Yu didn't notice, the monsters killed many human races who were controlling the water.

Yu, who was frightened and angry, personally fought against the monsters of the water clan!However, he has not been cultivating Taoism under the Yunxiao Sect for a long time, and his cultivation level is still shallow, so he is not the opponent of the aquatic monster at all.

In a critical moment, a golden-eyed ape descended from the sky, and with an iron rod in his hand, he killed the monster of the water tribe and saved Yu.He called himself Huai Shui Wu Zhiqi, and was ordered by Fairy Yunxiao to help Yu, and sent Yu a magic ax to dig mountains and cut waterways.

This Wu Zhiqi is one of the four great spirit monkeys, the red-legged horse monkey, who is good at controlling water. With his help, Yu is like a tiger with wings added. Wherever he passes, some aquarium monsters that make trouble are all killed by Wu Zhiqi , making Yu's water control more smooth and effective.

And the name of Wu Zhiqi was also spread among the human race and the monster race. It is really respected by the human race, but the monster race is terrified by it!

Yu worked tirelessly to control the water effectively, and saved many human races who were suffering from the flood. Naturally, he won the praise and recognition of many human races.

Not long after Yu married Nvjiao, a daughter of the Tushan family, he left his wife and embarked on the road of flood control again.Later, he passed by the door of the house and heard the sound of his wife giving birth and his son being born, so he gritted his teeth and did not enter the house.When he passed by for the third time, his son Qi was hugging his mother. He already knew how to call Dad, waved his little hand, and greeted Yu. Yu just waved to his wife and children to show that he saw them, but he still didn’t stop. down.

Yu Sanguo never entered the house, and it was a good story, which made more people of the human race praise Yu's virtue of conscientiousness, responsibility, and selfless dedication.

Cleaning up the river course is a huge project, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Although Wu Zhiqi killed many aquarium monsters, he also subdued many innocent aquariums and asked them to help clean up the waterway. Longma and Xuangui also came to help.

There are many people and strength, and a few months later, on the bank of the East China Sea, with a bang, a cliff by the sea was split by Yu with an axe, and the rushing water rushed out of a river directly into the East China Sea. ..
Since then, all the rivers and rivers in the world have converged and flowed into the sea. There is no need to worry about floods, and the floods have finally been cured.People even planted rice on the wet land where the floodwaters receded, so that the people's food has another kind of food besides five grains.

After Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods, his reputation in the human race even surpassed that of Shun for a while, so Shun also followed the will of heaven and the people and passed on the position of co-lord to Yu.

After Yu succeeded to the co-lord, he took Anyi as his capital, his country name was Xia, his surname was Si, and he was called Xia Yu in history.Yu assigned Yao's Danzhu to Tang, and Shun's Shangjun to Yu. The calendar was changed to the Xia calendar, and the month of Jianyin was the first month. Yu's position in this group has begun to take on the nature of royal power.

He asked Gao Yao, who was in charge of punishment during water control, to formulate some regulations. If any clan or tribe disobeyed orders, they would be punished with punishment.At that time, Fangfeng, the patriarch of the ancient Yue tribe, always wanted to dominate one side. He claimed to be the leader of each tribe of the Yue people, and refused to obey Xia Yu's orders.

The princes and Fang Bos from all over the world knew the power of the Xia Dynasty and the sanctity of Xia Yu, and they dared not offend King Yu. Those clans and tribes who did not attend the court meeting with King Yu heard about this, and they also paid tribute to the Xia Dynasty and professed their ministers. Since then, Xia Yu's sphere of influence Reaching the Jianghuai River Basin, the martial arts are terrific, shocking the world, and everyone respects it!

In the process of water control, Xia Yu once traveled all over the world, and he knew the terrain, customs, and products of various places like the palm of his hand.
Xia Yu re-planned the world into nine states, then managed them, and formulated the types of tributes for each state.

Xia Yu was a statesman and great man with great talent in ancient times. His water control was combined with the governance of the country and the people. While controlling the flood, he often guided people to restore and develop agricultural production, promote water transportation, and rebuild their homes. When governing a place, they all take the initiative to unite the chiefs of clans and tribes, improve the construction of political power, and make the people live and work in peace and contentment.

So far, due to the first large-scale collective cooperation and the dense water network project of the human race, under Xia Yu's wise leadership, the human race quickly came out of the shadow of the previous flood, and they quickly broke through the water network. With the cage that hinders progress, the human race has entered an unprecedented period of glory!
After Xia Yu came to power for decades, under the guidance of his teacher Fairy Yunxiao, he ordered people to take the bronze from the world to cast nine great tripods, take the blood of the human race for sacrifice, and use the nine tripods to suppress the nine states of the human race, so as to keep the luck of the human race unabated.Since then, the last of the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns has also completed his merits and virtues, and the merits and virtues descended from the sky are far from comparable to the first four of the Five Sovereigns.

After Xia Yu proved the Tao, he passed the position of co-lord of the human race to Boyi, the great sage of the human race.But among the human race, there are quite a few people who are dissatisfied with Boyi's succession to the throne.Among them, Qi, Xia Yu's son, had the greatest repercussions.And among the tribe, most people also support Qi.Although Boyi succeeded to the throne, all the ministers under Yu were not optimistic about Boyi, but were more optimistic about the strong and decisive Qi.

After winning over the leaders of many human tribes, Qi successfully emptied Boyi's power and became the actual leader of the human tribe, and then launched a coup d'état.Boyi's army was killed and defeated, and Boyi himself was captured. Qi thought for a long time, and finally decided to execute Boyi to avoid future troubles.

So far, Qi has ascended to the position of co-lord through force, and Qi's rule has been confirmed and consolidated after he crusade against some tribes who supported the abdication system.After that, Qi Zi became king and established the Great Xia Dynasty, and the hereditary system of the family finally officially replaced the abdication system.
