    "Ah? Mr. Zhang has an idea?" Jiang Yuyang had been sitting on the ground in a daze with a piece of grass in his mouth. When Zhang Lei said this, he immediately got up, spat out the grass in his mouth, and asked with a smile.  road.

    Zhang Lei nodded slightly and said: "I have an idea for the time being. I still need to figure out how to implement it. Go back. It's quite cold here. You need to ask the brothers below to pay attention and don't let others take advantage of it."  This mess is causing trouble for me. Anyone who smashes, loots, or burns will be killed immediately if caught."

    "Isn't it? Kill him directly? Is it so serious?" Jiang Yuyang was stunned for a while.

    Zhang Lei said: "Yes, this is a problem of human nature. If a person makes a mistake, it can be forgiven, but if a person has a wrong heart, he can only be a disaster if he stays in this world."

    "Oh, I understand. I will pay attention to this. Mr. Zhang, let's go back." Jiang Yuyang said.

    The two were just about to leave when suddenly a dark cloud floated over from a distance, and then there was a bolt from the blue. Zhang Lei looked up and said: "This weather is really like a woman's face. It changes at will. Look.  It looks like it's going to rain, so let's go quickly."

    He headed towards the government without stopping, but unexpectedly, in just a blink of an eye, heavy raindrops had already fallen, and within a short time both of them were soaked in the water.  A huge purple lightning flashed in the sky, seeming to tear the sky apart.

    "Master Zhang, the rain is really too heavy. Why don't we find a place to take shelter from the rain first? There is a small forest in front of us. We can go there." Jiang Yuyang said, riding a horse in heavy rain is really not a good idea.  experience.

    Zhang Lei looked at where Jiang Yuyang said.  Said: "Are you kidding? Didn't you see that there is thunder in the sky now? If we hide under the tree now, we might be struck by lightning until there is nothing left. Then I might as well get wet here.  It¡¯s raining.¡±

    As soon as I finished speaking, a bolt of lightning accurately hit a big tree. The big tree as thick as the two people hugging each other was cut in half, and a raging fire broke out. Even with this heavy rain, I couldn't kill it all at once.  Put it out.

    "You saw it, luckily we didn't go." Zhang Lei said.

    Jiang Yuyang also shrank his neck in fright.  He couldn't help but gasped and said: "This is too scary, then I have been hiding under the tree for so many years."

    "Then you are really lucky. Go back and burn incense to thank God for his blessing. Let's go." Zhang Lei said.

    The two of them walked forward for a while, but found that the front had turned into a vast expanse of water, and there was no way to get across.  And it seems that the water will get deeper and deeper. Zhang Lei frowned and said: "It seems that the problem is getting bigger now. It is probably that there is a breach somewhere. The water has soaked in now."

    "Then what should we do now?" Jiang Yuyang asked.

    Zhang Lei said while taking off his clothes: "There is no other way now. Just take off your clothes and swim over. The water is relatively calm now. If there is more water, I'm afraid we won't even have the chance to swim over."  All gone."

    ¡°Well, it seems that¡¯s all we can do.¡± Jiang Yuyang said.

    So the two took off their clothes and started swimming, but the war horse neighed loudly, and Zhang Lei couldn't help but look back.  Said: "Oh, these two horses can only ask for their own happiness. Let's go, there is no time."

    They swam to the other side, and then the two of them went to the government office. When they reached the door, Zhang Lei couldn't help but sneeze.  Seeing Zhang Lei in such a mess, everyone panicked and immediately called the maids to wash and change Zhang Lei's clothes.

    After working for more than an hour, Zhang Lei finally felt that his body was getting warmer. Officials of all sizes came to him at this time.  Zhang Lei exchanged greetings with them and sent them away.  As the saying goes, disaster relief is like putting out fire, so he didn't have time to talk nonsense with these officials.

    Then he immediately went into the study to work on the design. Re-planning the course of the Yellow River was not an easy task. It required a lot of information.

    Soon it was night, and Zhang Lei didn't come out of his thoughts until someone knocked on the door outside. He looked outside and saw that it was already dark, so he opened the door. When he saw it was Jiang Yuyang, he asked: "Lao Qi, please tell me."  Have you done all the things?"

    "It's done. This is the statistical death list. Those who have not been found will be treated as dead. Each person's pension of one hundred taels has been applied for." Jiang Yuyang handed over an envelope and said.

    Zhang Lei took the envelope and said: "Well, that's good."??Although this is a bit troublesome, it is always correct to follow the rules. Send all this to Shanhaiguan and let Feng Yong allocate the money to suppress this matter as soon as possible. I don't like to be told bad things behind others' backs all the time.  "

    "I can do this, Mr. Zhang. Now that we know the situation, should we go back now? It seems that there is a danger of flooding here at any time, which is not safe." Jiang Yuyang said.

    "This little danger is nothing. If I go back, people outside will have more to say. Don't say such things in the future. If the Yellow River is not managed well, I will never go back. Go down and do what you want."  Let¡¯s go ahead with the matter, I still need to read some information.¡±

    "Master Zhang, you have been busy all day, so you should eat first and prepare it tomorrow." Jiang Yuyang said.  When he was outside, without those servants, taking care of Zhang Lei's food and daily life became Jiang Yuyang's responsibility.

    Zhang Lei also felt a little hungry, so he said, "Okay, let's eat first and then let's go."

    After leaving the study, Zhang Lei noticed that it was still raining outside, and said strangely: "I thought it would stop in a while, but I didn't expect it to take such a long time. This is not good. Hurry up and send someone to keep an eye on the water level."  , don¡¯t even know it when the flood comes.¡±

    "Yes." Jiang Yuyang responded.

    After eating, Zhang Lei went back to the study to study.

    After more than half a month, Zhang Lei finally drew a map of the Yellow River's course. This map changed all the more dangerous places on the Yellow River where disasters often occur, and will become a hanging river.  All parts of the river have also been rerouted. In order to save manpower and material resources, other existing small river channels have been used as much as possible.  Zhang Lei also creatively divided some disaster-prone places into three, that is, dug several new rivers to divert the flow, reducing the pressure on the Yellow River, and then merged the three rivers into one when a safe place was reached.

    Zhang Lei also specially found experts with strong capabilities in this field and showed them his plan. Everyone discussed it together. After another half a month, the plan was finally finalized, and then  Zhang Lei printed and distributed the drawings and recruited workers to start work.

    After staying here for several months, everything had been arranged. All he had to do was follow the arrangements. Zhang Lei left Fenglingdu. On the way to Shanhaiguan, he suddenly thought  I went to inspect various construction sites, and half a year had passed by the time I returned to Shanhaiguan.

    The entire north showed a vibrant scene under Zhang Lei's management. The people had legitimate jobs and were able to earn much more money than they could by farming. They ate all the white rice they bought, and their lives were better than before.  Much better.  Under such circumstances, naturally no one would rebel. Even if there were people who wanted to rebel, it would be impossible to recruit soldiers. Which common people would be willing to give up their current life?  Besides, who has rebelled in recent years and has a good ending?  Li Zicheng is now determined to follow Zhang Lei, and Zhang Xianzhong has also disappeared. Except for these people, the others have led their troops to the south, and they dare not go north to touch Zhang Lei's bad luck.

    It is the winter of the 16th year of Chongzhen. It has been snowing in Shanhaiguan for a long time. Zhang Lei stays in the government office every day and does not go out. Everything is done through Jiang Yuyang and Feng Yong.

    This day is already the end of November, and the New Year will be in one month. Early in the morning, Zhang Lei was surprised by a knock on the door. He got up and dressed neatly before letting people in.

    The person who came in was Feng Yong. It was approaching the end of the year and he was probably the busiest person. He was running outside every day.  "Mr. Zhang, according to what you said, there will be no work one month before and one month after the new year, but the two military factories are almost completed. According to everyone's opinion, is it possible to hurry up and complete the factory?"  After the construction is completed, we will start working again. This is a petition sent by the people below, and I also ask Mr. Zhang to take a look."

    "Oh? There is such a thing? I have only heard of people who are unwilling to work before. Now there are still people who are unwilling to leave work. This is really a strange thing. Let me see. This  What kind of freaks are they?" Zhang Lei couldn't help but wonder, thinking of his previous life, if he could prevent himself from working overtime, he would have loved to give three sticks of incense to his boss.

    Feng Yong said with a smile: "Master Zhang is really good at telling jokes. As long as you work, the wages are quite a lot. Some people even have their whole families working on the construction site. It is almost the Chinese New Year, and they all want to earn more."  Go back and celebrate the New Year happily."

    "Well, that's really great. I'm very satisfied with the progress of the project. I didn't expect everyone to work so hard. Since they want to continue working, let them go." Zhang ?? said,

    "Okay, one more thing, everyone is still thinking that after all the work here is done, they will apply to clean up the Yellow River." Feng Yong said.  (To be continued)
