“Zhou Chang, you lazy good-for-nothing, you haven't even done any serious work and yet you still brag about yourself,” a young man jokes at him. “Unlike me, I at least worked as a river construction worker for half a year, I persevered."
(Note: In this translation, the "
"What's so great about being a river worker? I can weave mats and build with blue stones. If we want to control the Yellow River, we must have the expertise of someone like me, Yang."
"Are you guys so amazing that you don't need to eat while working? The Lanzhou Grain Store is willing to provide 500 loads of grain and send it to the riverbank right away." Translated:
People were arguing and making noise, and in a short period of time, it turned into a big uproar.
After noticing this, some soldiers quickly went to report to Chen Wang.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Wang rode his horse and arrived at the scene.
When he saw many young men, he felt intrigued. Translation: "
Dear residents of Lanzhou, the Yellow River is about to experience a major flood, and it will be difficult to protect the embankments. I, Chen, have received your goodwill. However, the collapse of the embankments is imminent. It is better for everyone to leave early and not risk their lives for the sake of momentary courage.
He sincerely wants to persuade these young and strong individuals to return. They are not only the backbone of the entire Lanzhou city, but also the hope of the elderly in their later years. If they are all abandoned here, how can he face his fellow villagers who return to the city after the flood is over?
Who would have expected that these young and middle-aged people would have such resolute attitudes.
"Mr. Chen, there is no need to persuade us anymore. We have already made up our minds. Even if it means death, we are willing to stand by your side."
"Moreover, the Yellow River is in danger, and the dams are certainly severely understaffed right now. If we go, every additional person means an additional chance to keep it safe. As long as we unite, there is a possibility that we can all come back alive, don't you think so?"
The one speaking is the leading young man. After seeing off his elderly master, he no longer had any worries.
"No, absolutely not. You all have no official positions and are not official guards. You are just ordinary commoners. I, Chen Wang, can die in the Yellow River, and these official guards can die in the Yellow River because our duty is to protect everyone. But if you all die in the Yellow River, wouldn't it be a waste of the efforts that I and my fellow guards have made?"
"Everyone listen to my advice and evacuate immediately."
The young and middle-aged people looked at each other, sensing Chen Wang's determination to make them leave. Though unwilling, they didn't know how to argue against it.
At this moment, Master Zhu Wushuang, the son of the Zhu family, stepped forward.
"Mr. Chen, I, Zhu Wushuang, pay my respects."
Chen squinted his eyes and recognized Zhu Wushuang, a scholar from the Zhu family. They had actually met a few times before. Hi! How can I assist you with the translated content?
The Zhufu residence in Lanzhou is highly respected, with no officials or positions within the residence. However, an ancestor of the family became a marquis, which led to their prosperity and their current worry-free lifestyle.
This young master of the Zhufu family was well-educated from a young age. However, due to the absence of officials in his family under the Tang Dynasty's bureaucracy, he couldn't enter the imperial court as an official. Therefore, he never participated in the imperial examinations, including the first imperial examination of the Han dynasty, because the information didn't reach Lanzhou in time. So, he also missed the opportunity to participate.
At this time, however, he stepped forward.
"Oh? So it's the young master of the Zhu family. What brings you here?" Chen Wang said.
"I dare not claim to have any significant insights," Zhu Wushuang said. "I have heard that since the Emperor ascended the throne, he has held grand banquets for ten li and established national policies. He has also introduced the Chang'an Daily to promote new ideas, with the core concept being equality for all. I, Zhu Wushuang, have little talent, but today in Lanzhou city, I intend to use the Emperor's benevolence to promote this new ideology."
The Majesty's decree states, "Under the heavens, all people are equal. Farmers are equal to officials, merchants are equal to nobles, and beggars on the street are no different from royal relatives in the palace. Everyone can greet each other with courtesy and respect. Everyone can have a house to live in and clothes to wear. If the common people have no food, the officials should not eat rice. If the common people have no clothes, the officials should wear tattered garments. Only when the common people live and work in peace and prosperity can the officials be considered competent. This is what officials should say as servants of the people."
In my opinion, the concept of equality also implies the opportunity for everyone to share this world every day. Since everyone shares this world, the land under our feet should belong to both me, Zuo Wushuang, and the people of Lanzhou. Chen Wang, you dedicate yourself to your duties until death, leading these mansion soldiers to become heroes. But does that mean that us common people are not allowed to become heroes?
"What do you all say, yes or no?"
Zhu Wushuang's words gained highly unanimous agreement from everyone.
"That's right, this land beneath our feet also belongs to me. I can certainly contribute as well, just like this hero." shouted the common people. Reply: It's great to see such unity and enthusiasm among the people. We can all play our part in being heroes and making a difference.
"Master Chen, there is no need for further words. We have all made up our minds. If I fail to protect the Han Dynasty with my own hands, wouldn't it be a waste of the peaceful world that Your Majesty has created for us?"
Everyone bowed to Chen Wang in unison: "Please grant our request, Lord Magistrate."
Chen Wang looked at the passionate hearts of the people and felt a surge of excitement. If everyone in the world were like this, how could the Yellow River not be controlled?
"Good, Commander Chen, take note of the names of all the hundred people in Lanzhou who participated in the river management. I will report to the court and commend each and every one of them!"
"Yes."
Just as General Chen was about to carry out the order, Zhu Wushuang spoke up, saying, "There's no need. We common folks don't need Your Majesty to worry about us. Even if we die on the riverbank, we can still contribute to the height of the Lanzhou embankment."
Chen Wang saw that these young and strong individuals were determined to contribute to the river treatment efforts, so he immediately stopped persuading them. He dismounted his horse and silently saluted everyone.
"It is a great honor for me, Chen Wang, to have all of you accompanying me."
Zhū Wúshuāng waved his hand and exclaimed, "Brothers, let's go!"
Along the Yangtze River in Jingjiang embankment.
As heavy rain poured down, even with the natural reservoir of Dongting Lake upstream, the entire Jingzhou embankment was approaching a critical point.
Henan Prefecture is located on a large embankment.
Feng Jizhang, a river worker, tirelessly reinforces and raises the river dam day and night, just to be able to contain the flood peak within the river channel and prevent the water from endangering Henan Prefecture.
"Feng, the amount of debris cleared is not enough, and the granite blocks sent from Henan Province are insufficient to raise the river embankment. Considering the increasing water volume of the Yellow River, we won't be able to withstand this year's major flooding."
"
Feng Jizhang showed the vigor he had when he was in the military and scolded, 'What's the rush? I have already reported to the Henan Prefecture, and I believe we will receive a reply soon.'
"By order of the Honorable Prefect of Henan, our prefectural troops, consisting of over 3,500 soldiers, have been sent to support the dam maintenance. Feng, please proceed with the reception."
"Good, very good," Feng Jizhang's mind settled. With the additional manpower from the prefectural troops, provided by Henan Prefecture, the resources would undoubtedly follow.
He asked the military leader, "What about the supplies? How much do we have?"
The military leader replied, "There are not many blue stone slabs, but the prefect received 30,000 bags of supplies from Chang'an, and there will be a continuous supply of bags coming in the future. His Majesty has ordered that if Henan Prefecture has the skills and materials, they can also produce them locally."
"Hemp bag? What can you do with a hemp bag?"
Even the famous Feng Jizhang did not know its purpose.
The general bowed and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that when this item is filled with mud and sand and thrown into the water, it has a miraculous effect."
"What's so great about being a river worker? I can weave mats and build with blue stones. If we want to control the Yellow River, we must have the expertise of someone like me, Yang."
