Chapter 110: Sharing Worries

In addition to reinforcement, dredging is also very important, otherwise, the river silts up, the riverbed rises, then even if the embankment is strong, it is useless, and it is not a way to increase the height of the embankment year after year, after a long time, the riverbed continues to increase, I am afraid that when the embankment really bursts, the disaster will be more severe, after all, at that time, the position of the riverbed is higher than the position of the village.

Regularly cleaning up the silt in the river can not only fertilize the land, but also reduce the burden on the river embankment. Moreover, now that Ziyao Country is rich, spending so little money can solve such a big problem, no one will object, and dredge the river, the transportation of the river will be faster and safer, as a big river in Ziyao Country, the Wei River is also a very important transportation channel, dredging the river, cleaning up the silt, it is good for the whole country.

In addition to this, it is also necessary to prevent soil erosion, as long as the root source of sediment is contained, the Wei River will naturally get better and better. In this ancient society, the original vegetation coverage area is very large, there should not be any soil erosion problem, but nothing is absolute, in the middle and lower reaches of the Wei River, there is a sandbar, perhaps many years ago the Wei River once washed the place, there is basically sediment, soft soil, plus there is organized into a field, accelerated the erosion of soil and water, provides a large amount of river sand for the Wei River, if this section is well managed, then the chance of the Wei River flooding will basically be reduced by two percent.

Moreover, this piece of land has been turned into fields, and many times it is flooded, and the harvest is not guaranteed, so if you want to come to the court to buy it back and plant fruit trees or trees, the people will not complain.

In fact, there are all kinds of things, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to say that it is easier said to do, and in addition to the underdevelopment of today's science and technology, almost all of them rely on manpower, so naturally more manpower is needed. However, fortunately, there are many victims of the disaster, and if these victims are arranged into this plan, it will still be able to accomplish the expectations.

Of course, there are also women and children among the victims. Naturally, these people can't do heavy work, but Gu Qingzhou thought of a way to let these people also exert their residual heat and create zĂ o value. It is not possible for so many people to rely entirely on the relief of the imperial court, so these women and children can farm in the rear, with the fertility of the silt at the bottom of the river. I think the harvest will be good.

If this strategy is implemented a few years later, the future orchard picking, processing, etc. will also need manpower, that is to say, Gu Qingzhou's whole set of strategies will basically solve the livelihood problem of the people along the Wei River, and also solve the problem of flooding of the Wei River, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

When Gu Qingzhou found the prime minister with the plan he had written, the prime minister still had a headache, after all, the emperor gave a death order, if he didn't want to come up with a good way. Then his prestige will be compromised. The prime minister also knew that it was difficult to come up with a way, so he found a lot of related books to consult, but unfortunately the harvest was not very large.

"Master, Mr. Gu asks to see you." The prime minister's minion said.

"Oh, is there something going on at this time, I remember he was sick, and now he's okay? Well, please let him in. The prime minister said that he still had an impression of Prime Minister Gu Qingzhou. I still appreciate Prime Minister Gu Qingzhou, otherwise if someone else comes, the Prime Minister may not really see him.

"Meet the Prime Minister." Gu Qingzhou saluted.

"No need to be polite, Zizhan is cured." The prime minister asked. Zizhan is Gu Qingzhou's expression, and the prime minister calls it like this, which means that he likes it, of course, the original owner is indeed talented, and he can make the prime minister take a fancy to him, and he is not a wasted person.

"I'm healed. Thank you for the Prime Minister's relationship, today I came because I heard that the Prime Minister has a lot of troubles, and I am here to relieve my worries, this is the method I wrote about the management of the river and the resettlement of the victims, I hope it can help the Prime Minister. Gu Qingzhou said.

The prime minister naturally wouldn't doubt Gu Qingzhou's talent, otherwise he wouldn't have invited him to be a staff member at the beginning, but seeing Gu Qingzhou come up with a way so quickly, the prime minister was still very surprised, after all, Gu Qingzhou was sick yesterday and didn't show up, so it must be the news I got today, and I wrote it immediately, in such a short time, I don't know if there will really be a surprise.

But even if it's just a general method, it can also reflect the talent, it seems that Gu Qingzhou is still a practical talent, and when Gu Qingzhou is admitted to the exam, he can recommend a local official to let him go through the experience, after all, with Gu Qingzhou's current knowledge, there is no problem in taking the exam, but if you go further, you need to precipitate again, after all, Gu Qingzhou is too young, and his family is poor, and he doesn't read many books. Maybe it's not impossible to pay homage to the prime minister in the future.

When the prime minister saw Gu Qingzhou's strategy, his eyes could shine, and his previous worries were swept away, Gu Qingzhou really deserved to be a talent he valued, and sure enough, there were two brushes, and he did not hesitate to invite the other party to be a staff member at the expense of Corporal Lixian, this decision was really right, with such a talent under his hands, why worry about his power not being more stable in the future.

After reading it, the prime minister was already turbulent in his heart, these ideas seem nothing to modern people, but they look very bold and innovative in ancient times, after all, in this ancient society, the status of ordinary people is very low, and the superior only thinks about himself, when will he consider the life and death of the people, and the method of work for relief that Gu Qingzhou said is simply unheard of.

After all, in this era, there is taxation and forced labor, and to do such a thing, it is enough to directly collect forced labor, and there is no need to spend money at all. However, now it seems that there are so many victims, and there will definitely be a civil uprising regardless of it, but the imperial court can't help it all the time, so it seems that this bold and novel idea may be a good choice.

As for the extra money, isn't there still a transportation tax? The imperial court spent money to hire people to clean and maintain the river, and with a little more maintenance fees for the boats that came and went, the payment of these people was all paid, and they could also gain a good reputation, so why not.

And those merchants will not object, after all, if they do this, the transportation speed will be much faster, and a little more cost is nothing for those merchants.

"Very good, the way you wrote is very good, I will enter the palace now to tell the emperor, and I will ask you for a seal in front of the emperor." The prime minister said happily. (To be continued.) )
