Chapter 400 Gun controls water

"Captain Yiqi, we recommend one person, and may have the ability to control water. This person is Gun!" In the surprised eyes of Yiqi Fangxun and others, the princes of the Four Mountains said endlessly.

Gun, whose original surname was Ji, whose courtesy name was Xi, was the son of Zhuanxu.

Because he inherited some of the Jiuli bloodlines from his mother, Xudou and Kong Ren, who are similar to the situation, are collectively called "San Miao" or "San Yao", or "San Yao", and are both Di Zhi's hard-core bodyguards.

Since inheriting the throne, in order to further weaken the power of Emperor Zhi, Yi Qi Fangxun exiled the three of them from afar.

In fact, Yi Qi Fangxun didn’t care whether these “three Miaoshu” have or what abilities they have, because they were Di Zhi’s confidants.

Since he was Di Zhi's confidant, Yi Qi Fangxun did not intend to surrender these three people, but directly expelled them.

Because, in Yi Qi Fangxun's concept, if you are a loyal minister, you should not serve the two masters; if you are determined to serve the two masters, you must be a greedy person who is afraid of death and has evil intentions. Such a person, even if you have great talents, is not worthy of my Yi Qi Fangxun's heavy use.

Moreover, Yi Qi Fangxun was also afraid that if these "three evil spirits" were really shocking, they would be resentful and would make the whole country go crazy when he was not careful. Therefore, after learning that these three were the hard-core followers of his brother Di Zhi, Yi Qi Fangxun didn't even see them, so he exiled the "three evil spirits".

Now, when I heard that the princes of the Four Mountains mentioned Gun again among the "three evildoers", even though Yi Qi Fangxun had the determination to remain unchanged when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he couldn't help but feel shocked at this moment.

After instantly coming to his senses, Yi Qi Fangxun's thoughts were flashing, and he realized that these four mountains were deliberately posing a problem for himself.

Didn’t you say you wanted to find someone to control the water? Well, I’ll recommend it to you. If you don’t use it, it’s abolishing the public for personal gain and disregarding the lives and death of all people. If you dare to use it, hehe, this is the confidant of the former Communist Lord Emperor Zhi. At that time, we have ten thousand ways to make you lose more than you gain!

After being an emperor for decades, Yi Qi Fangxun has become extremely experienced in the emperor's minds, so he can easily guess the little ninth in the hearts of these four princes.

After pondering for a moment, Yi Qi Fangxun politely declined, "Water control involves the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people, how can we ignore it? Then Gun is just a reckless man, how can he control the flood?"

"There is such a difference between the leader of Yiqi!" The princes of the Four Mountains immediately retorted, "Although Gun is a reckless man, he has his own strengths in controlling the flood. Moreover, the leader of Yiqi should be appointed Gun first to control the flood. If this fails, it will not be too late to remove him from his post. We are curious. The leader of Yiqi insists on not appointing Gun to control the flood. Could there be a better candidate? Or is it that the leader of Yiqi cannot let go of his selfish thoughts, and he can even ignore the safety of the people?"

As soon as this statement was made, including Yi Qi Fangxun, the king and ministers of Xiong looked at the princes of all directions, and their eyes were full of anger. They stared at the princes of the Four Mountains with bloody red eyes, making an angry bull-like appearance.

However, everyone gritted their teeth and stared at the four princes with their eyes blazing fire for a while, but they never dared to do anything extreme.

First, everyone really has no better candidate for water control. Second, if you say that the exile of "San Miao" is not a little selfish in Yi Qi Fangxun and others, even Yi Qi Fangxun himself would not believe it.

However, such a thing is definitely undeniable!

Now, as the princes of the Gentiles, you four mountains dare to question the majesty of the Communist Lord in this way, but it is like slapping everyone present in the face.

His eyes opened, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be substantial. He stared at the princes of the Four Mountains for a while. The flames of anger in Yi Qi Fangxun's eyes finally stopped. He slowly spoke, "This is what the leader of the Four Mountains said! From now on, he will recruit Gun to Beijing and be appointed as the official Gonggong of the Water Ministry (this "gonggong" is an official position). He will be fully responsible for controlling floods and take the post immediately!"

In this way, in the open and secret struggles between the monarch and his ministers, the honest child Gun was pushed to the forefront.

During the prehistoric period, the so-called water control was the most important thing to build dams and fight floods.

Although this method is old, it has a short cycle and is effective quickly.

Although, some people will say that this is a method to treat symptoms but not root causes. But don’t you see that even in the 21st century later, once there was a flood, wouldn’t you still scrape woven bags everywhere and put soil to block the embankment?

As a brute force player, the honest child Gun has no messy thoughts. Just control the water. The revolution does not divide the labor, and it is also serving the people!

So he worked with his two best friends, Xu Dou and Kong Ren, to lead the broad masses of people and began a vigorous dam construction campaign.

It's true that Gun led the way, and he always took the lead in every dirty and tiring work, and faced difficulties. In addition, the people also knew that the dam was built for the livelihood of his own people, so they all actively participated in the labor force.

In the early stages of building the dike, Gun's actions were carried out quite smoothly. Yi Qi Fangxun and others who were waiting for news in the imperial capital often received news that some smaller floods were being treated one after another.

The vigorous embankment repair movement led by Gun naturally attracted the attention of a group of mountain and water monsters under the third prince of Shihou. However, in the eyes of these monsters, the embankment built by the human race is no different from the children's house play. It is the kind of thing that falls when you touch it, so you don't have much to pay attention to it.

At the end of the day, a large number of dams, like mushrooms after rain, appeared in the Heluo and Jianghuai river basins, which had seriously affected the daily life of various shrimps, soldiers, crabs and generals in the water.

So all the water monsters almost went crazy together, and in just a few days, they destroyed all the fruits of the labor that Gun led the people to work hard for nearly a year.

This person with a strong nerve also has a unique advantage, that is, he is full of resilience.

On this side, the monsters at the bottom of the water had just stirred up a strong wind and waves, destroying the embankment. On the other side, Gun led the human tribe to fight back, while arranging the evacuation of the affected people, while leading a strong man to hurry up and repair the embankment.

The human race built dams again and again, while the water monsters destroyed the dams again and again.

At first, these monsters were still very accomplished. These human ants were busy for nearly a year and we destroyed them all in one day. With this kind of thought, these monsters started to make trouble, which was very interesting and colorful.

Later, these monsters gradually became impatient and the floods launched became more and more fierce. Not only did they damage their property and drown countless people, but even the imperial capital was affected by floods several times, making the people's lives miserable.

As the saying goes, water and fire are ruthless.

Faced with this surging flood, Yi Qi Fangxun had no choice but to make concessions, that is, to move the capital.

In the prehistoric times, the human race lived next to the water. Even if the floods were severe, people could not move too far away from the river. Therefore, there were only two choices for moving the capital this time, either going down the river or going up the river.

Going downstream is the east, and the Dongyi tribe has already risen. Instead, the Central Plains tribes dominated by bears have greatly weakened under years of disasters.

So, the only option left for Yao and others was to go upstream and migrate westward. Moreover, the upstream of the river, due to the relatively small water flow, even if there is still flood, it will not be as fierce as the downstream.

However, every time I move the capital, in just two or three years, the flood will definitely come to me as if I have eyes.

Helplessly, Yi Qi Fangxun had to move the capital again.

The capital was moved several times, from the original capital Diqiu (now southwest of Puyang, Henan), all the way westward to Jinyang (now Taiyuan), and built a Tang City in Jinyang.

However, even so, he still could not resist the flood. In desperation, Yao moved the capital again and moved to Pingyang (now Linfen, Shanxi).

Despite this, the entire tribe still cannot completely avoid the invasion of floods. However, because the water here is weak and the flood is not very severe, it is already within the range that the human race can bear.

After several years of reconstruction of the home, with Yi Qi Fangxun's efforts, the Youxiong tribe finally began to slowly recover some vitality.

On the other hand, Gun was in charge of flood control for eight years and spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but he still couldn't achieve success. Even Gun was a stubborn and honest man, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Why is this flood so big?" The dam that had been repaired with great effort was destroyed by the flood again. He was busy for several days and nights. Now the flood has finally receded, and Gun was so tired that he collapsed on the ground. Looking at the dam that was washed away by the flood, Gun couldn't help but wonder.

"Why are the dam we built either washed down or flooded? You know, the dam we built now is more than twice as high as the dam we built at the beginning. Why can't we stop this flood?"

"If there is a kind of soil that can increase the dam as the flood rises, wouldn't it be possible to keep the flood out of the dam forever?"

Despite his stubbornness, in fact, Gun's thinking is sometimes very divergent, and at this moment, he is imagining it with a bit of imagination.

"Sir, I know that there is a kind of soil that can continue to rise as the water rises, as the adults said!" A small migrant worker with a mud on his face was intersecting.

It turned out that just now, Gun was ups and downs, and he couldn't help but say what he was thinking in his heart. He happened to be heard by this little migrant worker and then said.

"Oh?" I said this casually, but I didn't expect that there was such a sudden feeling. Gun suddenly became interested. He stretched out his big hand and grabbed the migrant worker. He shouted eagerly, "Speak quickly! Where is this kind of soil?"

Frightened by Gun's fierce expression, the migrant worker suddenly felt trembling in his heart, and stuttered for a while, then he said tremblingly, "Sir, I heard from the old people in the tribe before. I heard them say that there is a magical soil called Xiran in the heaven that can grow automatically. If an adult can find such soil in heaven, it is not impossible to completely cure the flood."

"In heaven?" Hearing the words of the little migrant worker, Gun immediately became dejected again, "Isn't this equivalent to being a waste of time?"

As he said, Gun threw the migrant worker aside with his hands.

Because, Gun knew that not anyone could go up to that heaven.

As a direct member of the Youxiong Tribe, although he has never been able to enter the center of power, Gun still has heard of many secrets.

Heaven is where the legendary immortals live.

Immortals! We have the bear tribe. For hundreds of years, it is said that only our great-grandfather, namely Lord Huangdi and Gongsun Xuanyuan, have ascended to the fairy world.

Therefore, for the mortals of this human race, the heaven is definitely an out of reach.

"Sir, although we mortals cannot go to heaven, we have the Bear Tribe and some people can fly to heaven. If the plan is done properly and with some luck, it is unknown that they may be able to steal Xiran." The migrant worker rolled in the mud, but didn't care about Lord Gun's anger. Instead, he came to Gun's side again and muttered carefully.

"Oh?" Although he still didn't believe it, Gun was also inspired by this little migrant worker, "Speak quickly!"

After watching from side to side for a while, he confirmed again that no one was paying attention to his behavior. The little migrant worker leaned over to Gun's ear and muttered for a while.

As the migrant worker made a small statement, Gun's face kept changing. After the migrant worker finished telling, Gun thought for a while before gritting his teeth and said to the migrant worker in a deep voice, "You are not allowed to mention this matter to anyone, have you heard it?"

"Yeah! I know!" The migrant worker nodded heavily, then shook his head fiercely and said, "No! I didn't say anything, I didn't know anything!"

After saying that, the migrant worker spread his feet and brought out mud all the way, and disappeared in an instant.

As if nothing had happened, in the days that followed, Gun still led the vast number of humans to repair the embankment in order to minimize the losses caused to the human race by the flood.

Heavy labor, especially in such a place full of mud, may be flooded by the moody flood at any time, day after day, doing this seemingly hopeless high-strength hard work, and long-term physical overdrawn, these humans not only have a long body, but also have extremely poor mental state.

In order to encourage the people to fight against the flood, Yi Qi Fangxun often sends people to various places for inspection and make some inspiring speeches to demonstrate the monarch's care for the people.

Of course, these imperial ministers are probably close to Yi Qi Fangxun, who also shoulder a mission, which is to examine the political achievements of officials from all over the country, and to check whether anyone has taken this opportunity to do evil and do some small actions that are not conducive to Yi Qi Fangxun's rule.

This time, the one who was sent to various places to serve as imperial envoys was Yi Qi Fangxun's wife and Fairy Lu.

This deer fairy was originally transformed by a deer at the foot of Gushe Mountain.

Gushe Mountain was once the residence of the Qilin clan. Later, the beautiful lady of the Qilin clan leader Yu Qi realized Hunyuan and opened up a small world in the chaos, moving the entire Qilin clan over.

Later, although Li Otakuan sent someone to occupy Gushe Mountain and planned to leave it to his disciple Wudang Xiaoqilin as a cave. However, Wudang Xiaoqilin was reluctant to leave his master and mother, as well as the playmates on Jinao Island, so he just sent a few little monsters to occupy the mountain there.

Due to the loose management, the mountain monsters near Gushe Mountain are still relatively happy. Relying on the abundant spiritual energy of Gushe Mountain, many monsters transformed here, and Deer Fairy is one of them. Moreover, it is the most beautiful among all the banshees in Gushe Mountain, and is known as Gushe Fairy.

Once Yao went on a tour in a low dress and went to visit all over the country. When he passed by Gushe Mountain, he was trapped by a giant python. Fortunately, he was rescued by Gushe Fairy. Later, the two of them fell in love and became husband and wife.

After getting married, the two had a deep relationship. The fairy Gushe not only worked hard and frugal, but also relied on her cultivation to help Yi Qi Fangxun solve some foreign affairs problems. Therefore, Tang Yao still relied heavily on his wife.

Later, Fairy Deer gave birth to a son for Yao, named Zhu, and was later enfeoffed in Dandi, also known as Danzhu.

Less gossip. By the way, Fairy Lu inspected various places as the mother of the country and the imperial envoy. The main purpose is to encourage the people in all areas of severely affected, to cheer up and fight against the sky. Naturally, she must come to the front line of the disaster resistance where Gun is located.

Seeing that the scene of the flood just overwhelmed by the flood, the whole place was in a mess and the people were displaced, Fairy Deer was also very sad. She forced her spirit to convey the spiritual encouragement and support of the king Yi Qi Fangxun to these people who were fighting on the front line of flood fighting. After returning to the camp, Fairy Deer thought about whether to find a way to do something practical for these people with severe disasters?

"It is definitely not possible to use mana to calm the flood! All signs show that this flood is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. If you may cause such a large flood, the monster that is causing trouble in secret will definitely be of great significance. If you take action rashly, you may not only fail to achieve success. If you anger the monster, it will cause greater trouble to the human race?"

"But, if you cannot conquer this monster, I am afraid that this flood will never be eradicated. If such disasters continue, I don't know how many people will suffer. How can I bear it? I'm so troublesome!"

With a frown, Fairy Deer was in a dilemma.

"It would be great if the monks of the Academic Sect, the People's Cultivation, and the Western Sect were still there during the rule of the former emperor Gongsun Xuanyuan! I heard that those people's magic weapons are powerful, even if they are sealed. What a pity! Since Gongsun Xuanyuan succeeded in ascension, the monks of the three sects have never appeared in the Youxiong Tribe again!"

"I heard that the monks of the Jie Cult have always been protecting the human race, but for some reason they have not appeared for so many years? Could it be that the Youxiong Tribe disobeyed the leader of the Tongtian Sect and the sage that the sacred edict on not being able to participate in internal struggles by extraordinary people, which led to the Jie Cult abandoning the Youxiong Tribe?"

"Madam, that Lord Gun is looking for a visit outside the camp!" Just as Fairy Deer was thinking a lot, Fairy Deer's little maid opened the camp tent, came in, and reported softly.

"Gun? He is not on the front line to control the water. What are you doing here?" Fairy Lu looked puzzled, "Is there something wrong with him?"

Thinking in his heart, Fairy Deer said softly, "You can announce him to come in?"

The little maid took the order and left. In just a moment, a big man over 100 feet tall followed the little maid and entered with a high gaze of the little maid. He gave a gaze to Fairy Deer who was standing tall at the main seat, and said in a muffled voice, "Gun, have you seen the Empress!"
