The Regent's Tender Darling

Chapter 561 Dragon King Temple

The Dragon King Temple was built in March of the 20th year of Da Nan Fengyuan. The founding emperor Nan Guo Wushuang ordered people to build a Dragon King Temple on the Tianshui River and the Shu River.

Naturally, the Dragon King enshrined in the Dragon King Temple is not the Dragon King, but Wu Guojiu, the great hero who controlled the Tianshui River and Shu River bursting their banks in the ancient Shu period.

In June, the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Shu Emperor II, the Tianshui River and the Shu River burst their banks. The floods were out of control and submerged half of Suzhou and the entire Yunzhou in just one night.

None of the people who lived in Yunzhou survived. Only Suzhou was only mostly submerged, leaving the Jiangnan area behind it unaffected.

In the same year, there was a severe drought in the northwest region, and the three states of Mozhou, Jingzhou, and Yongzhou had been experiencing drought for three consecutive years!

The farmers in these three continents had no harvest in the past few years, and their stored grains had already been eaten up. In the end, even the bark of the trees in the Shumai Mountains was eaten by the people, but most of them still starved to death.

At that time, typhoons were raging in the eastern coastal areas, houses were destroyed by strong winds, and rice in the fields withered and reduced production.

In the past few years, the people in Shu were in dire straits, almost to the point where everyone had to change their sons for food. People in Shu were starved to death, but the second emperor of Shu was greedy for pleasure. Just because he couldn't eat lychees, he killed many people in the palace to vent his anger.

They don’t even care about external disasters! To put it bluntly: Natural disasters are natural events and cannot be averted by human effort.

Until there were more and more voices in the court, Emperor Shu took the trouble and ordered Gu Sanwan, a scholar-bureaucrat at that time, to mobilize the country's grain storehouses to help the victims.

But unfortunately, the disaster in Shu was too widespread and there were too many victims, so the national grain reserves were only a drop in the bucket at the time.

In the end, the military rations of Dashu could only be halved and shipped to the disaster area one by one!

At the same time, Wu Guojiu was also ordered to lead the Shu navy to Suzhou, Yunzhou and the Jiangnan area to control floods.

The navy generals each removed their armor, turned their troops into workers, and began to overhaul water conservancy. Finally, most of their armor and weapons were melted down, and twelve pairs of 10,000-ton iron oxen were cast and sunk into the Tianshui River and the Shu River to guard the rivers.

It is rumored that uncle Wu is the incarnation of a water dragon because the navy he leads has a magical skill. As a navy, he cannot travel by water or land. He can lead 30,000 navy to Suzhou in one night. Treat floods.

According to unofficial records, Nan Guo Wushuang was able to lead the navy to recapture Yunzhou and Suzhou because the tens of thousands of naval troops led by Wu Guojiu descended on Suzhou overnight and directly killed the enemy generals.

After the founding of the Danan Kingdom, Wu Guojiu disappeared. Nanguo Wushuang, the founding emperor of the Danan Kingdom, searched for him for more than 20 years without success, so he built the Dragon King Temple on the Shu River and the Tianshui River.

Someone in later generations said: Uncle Wu is also a water dragon. He was born in the Great Shu River and died in the water after the flat water.

The reason why Uncle Wu Guo returned to Tianshui River is because his family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River near Tianshui River. His family wealth is as rich as half of Shu.

Over the years, the Tieniu sunk by Wu Guojiu has never appeared to be dead. Only people living near Shen Tieniu have spread the news.

According to historical records, the water level of the Tianshui River has dropped in the past dynasties. But now, the appearance of the iron ox that sank during the Great Shu period means that the water level of the Tianshui River has dropped a lot.

There are rumors that when all twelve pairs of iron oxen appear, it will be the time of destruction.

When Lin Jiaojiao heard this, she understood in her heart, but she was not an expert on water conservancy matters, and it was not something she could handle.

Since there has been a decline in the past dynasties, I am afraid that this problem will not be easy to solve.

"Where can someone descend from heaven?" Chen Qian said she didn't believe it.
