Chapter 456 Human Development(2/2)

When Shun heard that Dayu understood the technique of controlling water, he immediately handed over the task of controlling water to him.

Dayu got the task and began to inspect the river channel, examine the reasons for Gun's failure, learn from his father's failure to control water, and decided to reform the water control methods, turn blocking into diversion, and let the water of the Yellow River go naturally, focusing on diversion.

I personally crossed mountains and rivers, flowed through rivers and rivers, held tools, measured the height of the terrain from west to east, setting a benchmark, and planning waterways.

He led migrant workers who managed the water to travel all over the place. According to the benchmark, they opened mountains and built dikes when they encountered depressions to clear waterways and divert floods into the sea.

Maitreya and others tried their best to assist Dayu in controlling the flood. When they walked from west to east, they encountered a high mountain. They heard the swelling of the mountain axe. The axe flew out sharply, and the faint gold was faintly broken. The earth-shattered earth-shattered peak was divided into two, splitting a canyon, and the water rolled and poured out.

When he encountered a big river blocking the road, Dayu worshiped the axe, with green light lingering and water waves separated, which was the "Axe to open the mountain."

Dayu took out a piece of iron rod, two golden hoops at both ends, and a black iron in the middle. A line of characters engraved next to the hoop was called "Dinghai Shen Needle" and weighed 13,500 kilograms. It was thrown and inserted into the bottom of the river to measure the depth.

These two treasures were made by Taixu himself and turned against the acquired and the innate.

Yu tried his best to control the flood, was not afraid of hard work, and never dared to rest.

Later, when he passed by the doorstep, he heard the sound of his wife giving birth and his son being born, he gritted his teeth and did not enter the house.

When he passed by three times, his son Qi Zheng was holding his mother's arms. He knew how to call him dad and waved his greetings. Yu just waved his hand to his wife and children, indicating that he had seen them but still didn't stop.

Yu's three-time home was not in, which was the best proof of his hard work in controlling water.

Yu also cared about the suffering of the people. Once, when he saw a man who was so poor that he sold his child, Yu redeemed the child.

Seeing that some people had no food, he asked Houji to distribute the only food to the people.

Yu wore ragged clothes, ate coarse food, lived in a simple mat, held a plow in his hand every day, and took the lead in doing the most bitter and dirtiest work.

Over the years, his legs and arms were covered with hair, thick calluses formed on his palms and soles, his body was dry and his face was dark.

In this way, Yu first took six years to clear the rivers of the sea, Huai and Jihe Rivers, and then took seven years to clear the Yellow Rivers. Seeing that the water control was about to be successful, he found that the Yellow Rivers were blocked by Longmen Mountain.

Longmen Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, and the Yellow River will not be able to change its route. And it is transformed by the nine heavens of Xilan. How can everyone dig it open?

Yu only complained secretly and discussed the matter with Maitreya.

Maitreya sacrificed the golden bulb again, turned into a giant wheel, and the divine flowers soared into the sky and smashed them down towards the dragon gate.

The dragon gate was wide open, and from then on the water of the Yellow River flowed to the sea.

After Yu's governance, two major water systems were formed, with the Yellow River and the Yangtze River as the main source of the river, and most other rivers and ditches were connected to this. During the flood, although the human race was severely affected, people's livelihood production was greatly affected, and many people had to leave their hometowns.

However, during the water control process, the affected tribes did not distinguish between each other and cooperated in coordination, but also redistributed means of production to a certain extent, further strengthening the exchange and integration of various tribes.

Emperor Shun praised Yu and said, "Yu, Yu! You are my arms, thighs, ears and eyes. I want to benefit the people, and you assist me. I want to observe the celestial phenomena, know the sun, moon, stars, and embroider the clothes, and you advise me. I want to listen to the six laws, five tones and eight tones to regulate chaos, promote the five virtues, and help me. You never flatter me in front of you and slander me behind your back. You use your sincerity, virtue and example to make the court clear and honest. You have promoted my holy virtue, and you have made too great contributions!"
