Chapter 276: The Sea and the River Are Waterlogged

The Haihe River has burst!

It rained for several days in a row, and the Haihe River, located in the coastal area downstream, burst its banks!

For a time, every family was full of grief, chanting prayers for those who died in the flood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Dashang faces the sea on three sides, and there is a lot of rain and snow, which creates a pattern of dense rivers in various parts of Dashang.

In the face of the interweaving of traffic, the big merchants learned the lessons of the previous dynasty and have always adopted an attitude of resignation.

The so-called resignation means that the river will not be artificially transformed, the land will not be enclosed, and the source will not be intercepted.

In response to rising water levels in the summer, dams are built along the river at best, and few other measures are taken.

There are too many rivers, and it's useless to try to do anything.

The destruction of the country in the former Song Dynasty originated from natural disasters and man-made disasters, in addition to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, successive natural disasters were the biggest reason for the people's resistance.

At that time, princes and nobles, large and small officials, temples and monasteries enclosed the fields. There is not a single land left in the hands of the people.

In order to increase production and obtain more benefits, these enclosures have asked tenant farmers to enclose lakes and rivers to make land. I want to make the most of the land.

At that time, the rivers of the Song Dynasty were reduced by 20%, and at the same time, the fields were also increased by 20%.

The increase in grain production in successive years has further inflated the selfish desires of the superiors, and more and more small and medium-sized rivers have disappeared.

It was not until the following year that the rain was more than usual, and the rivers in various places were greatly reduced, and for a time the rainwater flowed nowhere to go, and it was stranded in various places.

A piece of Ze country.

Then the plague ran rampant, and ten rooms were empty.

Then the people finally rose up to resist when they were dying of starvation, and the rebels from all over the country suddenly rose up and burned their flags to stand on their own.

In the end, he was won by the pig killer in the mountains with more food.

At the beginning of the Great Shang Dynasty, there was a heated discussion about why the rain was not much more than in previous years, far less than the heavy rain season that the old people had seen, but the reason for the simultaneous flooding in the Noldor area was hotly discussed. At that time, Master Duyi, who proposed the construction of the North-South Grand Canal, believed that the surrounding land was afforested, and the rivers were reduced, and the rainwater could not be discharged smoothly downstream, resulting in siltation and waterlogging.

For this reason, successive emperors of the Great Shang devoted themselves to dredging the river and keeping it flowing straight to the sea. The people were also not allowed to turn the river into land, and when they were discovered, the whole family was exiled.

Now, nearly 100 years later, Dashang has restored the situation of dense rivers a hundred years ago, and most of the rainy seasons can be passed smoothly every year.

The topography of Dashang is high in the west and low in the east, and the rivers flow into the North Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea.

The Haihe River is a river located on the coast, but it is a problem river that has caused headaches for successive emperors.

The Haihe River is located in Donglinfu and crosses the Donglin Sea.

The reason why the Haihe River is a problem river is because of the topography.

The general trend of the eastern province is high in the west and high in the east, and the central area is low-lying. The river water from the western part of the province flows into the province and then flows into the local area, resulting in the province becoming a land of Ze during the rainy season.

The area of Yifu is too large, and in addition to the water accumulation in the rainy season, Donglinfu is a rare rice town in the northern region, and it is a large grain producing house. It is impossible for such a local big business to give up.

In addition to the third emperor Xiaowu Emperor during his reign, he proposed to 'open a new river, open a waterway, and go longitudinal', digging out several rivers that go straight to the sea to the sea, and at the same time taking advantage of the two adjacent provinces in the north and south, the rivers in Donglinfu are connected to the rivers that enter the sea by canals, so as to reduce the pressure on the rivers in the rainy season in Donglinfu, and this method has achieved great success.

During the reign of other emperors, they did not achieve much in the matter of Haihe.

Emperor Xiaowu's methods greatly improved the problem of waterlogging in the rainy season in Donglinfu, which has been the land of fish and rice in the north for more than a decade.

It's a pity that things go a long way. As the sediment accumulates, the water level of the Hai River becomes higher and higher, and the river is more likely to overflow during the rainy season.

It is bordered by the east and the west is high, the east is high and the middle is low, which creates the middle part of the above-ground river.

In response to this problem decades ago, many Ministry of Industry officials proposed to build dozens of high-rise above-ground rivers to escort them all the way directly into the sea.

This is undoubtedly a very effective method, and the officials of Donglin Province do the same, but there is a huge flaw in these above-ground rivers.

The foundation is unstable and easy to collapse and disperse.

In short, the embankments of the above-ground rivers are unstable.

In response to this problem, local officials have no choice but to keep piling up sediment on the river's banks to strengthen the embankments, while sending a large number of laborers to dig up sand and extract sand to try to lower the river's water level.

The problem of the Haihe River in the east is an old problem of the Great Shang for hundreds of years, and it will occur once in a few years. Only the helplessness of nature and disasters can only pray for the experienced people of Donglin to take shelter in time before the levee breaks.

Jingzhong is sad and sympathetic because of the bursting of the embankment of the Haihe River in the east.

Du Xiaoxi also learned about the problem of the river on the land in Donglinfu from Liu Yao's mouth.

Du Xiaoxi's first thought when he heard the embankment burst was corruption, tofu slag project, and then the vegetation was cut down and soil erosion.

In fact, it is quite the opposite, everything is due to the terrain.

Dashang's decree on river governance made Du Xiaoxi unimaginably scientifically advanced and sustainable.

In addition to sighing, Du Xiaoxi also prayed for the local people like everyone else, but no matter how much else he could, he couldn't do anything.

In his previous life, Du Xiaoxi lived in the mountains of Shaanxi since he was a child, and Du Xiaoxi never saw a few rivers when he was a child, and their biggest problem there every year was the spring drought. I haven't heard of waterlogging in my lifetime.

If it is said that how to deal with the spring drought, Du Xiaoxi can also show up and make some suggestions based on his childhood experience. But when it comes to waterlogging, Du Xiaoxi, a two-life landlubber, really can't do it.

I haven't seen a river on the ground or something, I haven't seen it, how can I treat it?

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was almost the day when the two little ones returned to the academy. Du Xiaoxi's mind returned to preparing things for his sons.

"Young lady, the little master of Xile Temple is here!"

The porter announced, and soon someone led a young monk in his early teens in.

Du Xiaoxi took a look, yo hey, I don't know!

It seems that it is the master's newly accepted apprentices and grandchildren.

Du Xiaoxi hadn't seen Master for more than two years, and the last time they met, they said goodbye in a hurry, and then Master took a group of little monks to travel all over the world.

Du Xiaoxi felt that his master was already sixty years old, so he should look like an old man, so he shouldn't wander around the mountains and disappear without seeing people.

It's a pity that the master can't help the apprentice when he grows up, and every time the master always travels, no one knows where he went.

The little monk folded his hands in front of Du Xiaoxi and said, "Amitabha, the little monk Rende has seen my aunt." ā€

Du Xiaoxi returned with a salute, "I'm bothering you to run away, but what's the matter with Master and Senior Brother?" ā€

The little monk nodded, took out a letter from the wide-sleeved robe that was soaked by the rain, presented it with both hands, and said to Du Xiaoxi: "The ancestor said that please do your best. ā€

Du Xiaoxi nodded with a puzzled expression, and instructed Madder: "Take the little nephew to eat some soup and tea." ā€

The little monk hurriedly refused, "Back to my aunt, my ancestor still has something to bring to the presiding master, and Rende has taken his leave." ā€
