At night, it was raining heavily. In the East Palace, study, Prince Yuwen Weicheng was looking at the information under the light of the gas lamp. He reached out to get the teacup, but someone picked up the teacup first.

Yuwen Weicheng turned around and saw that it was the Crown Princess Wei who was pouring tea for him.

"Why haven't you rested yet?"

"I saw that the lights were still on in the study, so I came over to take a look." Wei filled the tea and asked with concern: "Erlang, pay attention to the time and don't stay up late, as this is not good for the health."

Yuwen Weicheng nodded and smiled at Wei: "I know for my husband, go to bed first."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

When Wei left, only Yuwen Weicheng was left in the room, and the eunuchs waiting outside.

Yuwen Weicheng drank tea to refresh himself. He listened to the drizzle outside, looked worried, then put down the teacup and continued to look through the information.

The rainfall is getting denser, and Yuwen Weicheng can feel the speed of the rise in the Yellow River water level without reading the urgent report. Judging from the current water conditions of the Luoyang River section, the Yellow River water level is already very close to the warning line.

This means that a major flood is inevitable, and it is nothing more than how serious the disaster is.

So, another question emerged: Can the water conservancy facilities built by the imperial court in the past ten years withstand this flood?

If you are sure to withstand it, there is no need to discharge the flood. If you are not sure to withstand it, then you will evacuate the people in the flood discharge area early. As a result, the current situation is indeed not up or down, just between the two.

This led to the failure of the officials of the Political Affairs Hall to make their final decision: to do their best to mobilize manpower and material resources to dam, and to keep the safety of the various places in any case, or to cut off the tail and survive like a gecko, and to lower the water level of the Yellow River at the cost of sacrificing the flood discharge area and keep the safety of other places in the world safe.

Yuwen Weicheng also has such a tangled mood. To be honest, everyone hopes that the imperial court’s investment over the past decade will maximize the return, that is, water conservancy facilities block the flood and make the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River safe.

After all, the flooded farmland may not be able to recover for several years.

But no one dares to guarantee that this huge water conservancy facility can completely block the flood. Otherwise, if you bear it, you can't stand it and have to discharge the flood. However, the people in the flood discharge area are not evacuated in time, which will inevitably lead to a tragedy in the human world.

This is something that needs to be left in history and be scolded by future generations!

No one dares to take this responsibility, and no one can bear this responsibility. Therefore, the current decision is to "act according to the opportunity."

Flood control and flood control are required in all parts of the Yellow River. Once the water level of the Yellow River rises to a certain height, there is no need to think too much and release the flood immediately.

Yuwen Weicheng was a bystander for this flood prevention and flood control. He didn't need to worry about it, but he got the "homework" assigned by his father and had to pay attention to the entire process of flood prevention, flood control and disaster relief, so he could not really watch it on the wall.

Since the first year of Mingde, although there have been minor disasters in the Central Plains, no major floods have occurred. Whether it is the Yellow River, Huai River or the Yangtze River, although there are dangerous situations during the flood season, it has never been so uneasy that the water conditions of the Yellow River are so uneasy.

It can be imagined that if the flood can be overcome safely or the losses are light, then the people's hearts that gradually stabilize will be more stable and the reputation of the court will grow stronger.

If this disaster causes huge losses, it means that more than ten years of investment will not play the due role, and secondly, it will make people feel uncomfortable. The tragic situation of disaster victims everywhere in Henan and Hebei will inevitably make ambitious people think.

Since the Yongjia Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty, the world has been quarrels for hundreds of years, and the confrontation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties ended only twenty years ago. Therefore, many people are not used to the current situation of the unification of the Central Plains, and are still ready to be a hero in the troubled times.

Yuwen Weicheng knew that there must be many such people, maybe they are still tyrants, or they are already officials, or even hold important positions.

These people are watching coldly to see if the general trend of the world is really going to be "separation for a long time and will be united". If there are any natural disasters and man-made disasters that cause the world to shake, then all kinds of ghosts and monsters will emerge at that time.

As the crown prince, the crown prince of the country, and the future emperor, Yuwen Weicheng certainly did not want to see the wavering situation of the country's foundation. Therefore, even if he was bystanders, he was deeply immersed in the play and was very entangled in the face of the current situation.

Should we make every effort to "maintain full protection", or to cut off the tail and survive, sacrifice flood discharge areas, and protect other areas?

......

At night, Yuwen Wen looked at the map with the lights of gas lights, and Yang Lihua helped organize the information. The clock hand had already pointed to eleven o'clock, but the two of them had no intention of going to bed.

Although the Yellow River flood control, flood control and disaster relief matters have been taken over by the Shandong Road Water Control Ambassador Office, Yu Wen Wen had something to do, so he could really be a hand-off manager, so he was still paying attention to the water conditions of the Yellow River.

At present, the court is in a dilemma or a little confused.

This kind of entanglement is similar to the college entrance examination candidates who applied for a volunteer application in later generations. Their scores just reached the first-tier line. If they don’t apply to a first-class university, I feel sorry for their efforts. However, relying on the scores that have just passed the line to apply for a first-class university major, what if they fail?

Repeat the reading?

The safest way is to apply for a first-class major in a second-rate university, but the candidate is unwilling to accept it: he has clearly all scored first-tier universities! If you don’t try it, when will the small goals of life be achieved?

Therefore, the officials of the Zhengshitang had not made up their final decision. The court has invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources in the past ten years, and spent huge amounts of money to build such a complete (preliminary) water conservancy facility. I was really unwilling to accept it if I didn’t fight it.

But it is too cruel to use the lives of the people to bet on the people. If you lose money, you can make money again. If you lose life, you will really lose your life, let alone these lives are hundreds of thousands.

Yuwen Wen is not a tyrant, and he does not intend to practice evil and crooked arts. He does not need to use hundreds of thousands of creatures to make "illusion alchemy to refine a formation". The three high-ranking officials dare not joke about hundreds of thousands or even millions of lives.

Therefore, the people in the flood discharge area should not be used as bargaining chips.

So, should we resist the "full protection", or should we cut off the tail and survive, sacrifice the flood discharge area, and protect other places?

The best choice is of course the former, because after the flood discharge area is flooded by the Yellow River, it is likely that agricultural production will not be restored for several years. The yellow areas in history will basically turn from the original high-yield places to wither.

But for Yuwen Wen, the more you don’t want to happen, the more likely it is to happen.

Reason tells him that the consequences of being lucky are serious. If the people who are scheduled to discharge flood areas are mobilized to guard the embankment, once the embankment cannot withstand the breach, the flood will rush, and both people and money will be lost.

The land is flooded and can be restored in a few years. If a person dies, it will take at least twenty or thirty years to recover.

Yuwen Wen looked at the information, frowned, finally sighed, and then stretched his eyebrows.

Seeing Yang Lihua pouring a cup of tea for herself, Yuwen Wen waved his hand: "No need, clean up and go to bed."

Yang Lihua was stunned when she heard this: "Hey? Erlang has figured it out?"

"If you figure it out, you will discharge the flood at a critical moment. At worst, the court will issue bonds to raise funds to compensate the people in the flood discharge area and relevant stakeholders. If we don't play with our heartbeat, we will discharge the flood, and we will discharge the flood."

Yuwen Wen stood up and stretched: "If you don't want to let go of anything, the water level will be too high in the entire basin, and there will be a risk of breaking in all parts of the line. Why is that going?"

"You have to protect everything, and you may not be able to save anything. The losses you suffer at that time are not just a joke."
