Chapter 534 is impressive

Wang Anshi said: "Mingrun, the law of the deputy superintendent of the Song Dynasty, in addition to considering the river itself, also considers the defense of Liao, Tuntian, and the service workers, if according to the north flow, this new river, but also to rebuild the embankment, the amount of work is huge, and can ensure that it does not continue to silt up?" ”

Su You arched his hand and said: "Bachelor, the reason why the embankment broke this year, referring to the hydrological data of previous years, is because it encountered a major flood once in 20 years. ”

"In other words, if we build embankments on both sides of the new river, theoretically, we can have 20 years to calmly lay them out."

"The current capacity of the Ergu River can only accommodate the flood of the Yellow River once in three years, even if it is only used for diversion, it can only support four to five years, if the north flow is completely blocked, then within five years at most, the flood arrives, the Ergu River can not be accommodated, the river is forced to fall, and the upstream must be decided!"

Wang Anshi's heart was pounding, this was a problem he had not considered, and even the previous river workers had not yet taken into account: "Where does the data come from?" ”

Sima Guang took out a volume from the "Consultative Notes": "Your Majesty, Jiefu, this is the information on river conditions over the years that I have extracted from the hydrology of various places, and Mingrun has turned it into a standard increase and made a table, which is clear at a glance. ”

Wang Anshi took it and looked at it, he was also an extremely smart person, only turned a few pages of key data, and then closed his eyes: "It's difficult!" ”

This is the book of Shang? A sentence from the "Tang Oath".

Su You arched his hand and said: "It is not difficult to know, but it is difficult to do." However, it is only for the upper Keming, and the lower Kezhong. It is easy to take oil, but it is difficult for the public. ”

It means that it is not difficult to know the truth, but it is really difficult to operate in practice, only those who are above must remain clear and loyal to those who are below. In the end, I said that I have done the easy ones, and I have to rely on the big guys if the difficult ones are difficult.

This is also answered by the Book of Shang.

Wang Anshi opened his eyes: "Ming Runzhi's "Book" can be regarded as a gain, if you hold the theory of Beiliu, Hebei Caoyun, how to solve it?" ”

Su You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Anshi was a staunch returnologist in real history, and his insistence was not once, but repeatedly failed and built the dam, even the emperor no longer supported it, he continued to do it twice, but in the end, it still failed.

Now this stubborn person has to bow his head in front of detailed data.

Su You hurriedly said: "Beiliu is not impossible to sail, except for the flood peak and the freezing period, Beiliu can still be sailed, and Hebei's grain does not have to be turned over from Bianjing, in fact, it can be shipped north from Jianghuai and Zhejiang!" ”

"The disadvantages of Cao Yun have been deducted along the way, and now the new sailing ship on the Liangzhejiang Road has been successfully trial-produced, and it has been tested in North Korea and Japan."

"The ship has been enlarged on the basis of the Kuizhou type, the length has been reduced, the width has been increased, and the front and rear have been heightened in the style of a sea ship to resist surges, and the trial data shows that the high-masted schooner and spinnaker design are very suitable for sea conditions."

"Your Majesty, Xianggong, Bachelor, there is another benefit of shipping, tempering the sailor."

"In this Xiongzhou crisis, Xiao Xi's 40,000 troops pressed the border, and I persuaded them to return, not because of how much ability I have, but because a Meishan-type schooner equipped with ballistas pressed the formation, plus the Yellow River is new, they have no boat!"

"There is no advantage for the Liao people in land warfare, but now that we have the New Huangjie River, as long as we create a naval division with the right combination of large and small ships, at least the Ansu army from Haikou to the middle reaches of the Juma River, we will gain a huge defensive advantage!"

"In the rear of the Xinhe, most of the Pitang, which used to be used as a defensive cavalry, has been filled into fertile land according to the minister's investigation, which is just used to appease the refugees, and the government organizes the development of the land."

"Your Majesty, Xianggong, Bachelor, everything has advantages and disadvantages, but the reverse understanding is also the same, as long as we find the right way, it is not difficult to resolve it."

"One of the huge points of the proposal to return to the river is that we can use the large amount of land silted up by the North Stream, but I want to ask, can't these silted lands be used if we don't return to the river?"

Wu Chong is a privy envoy, and he thinks mostly from a military point of view: "Mingrun, according to what you said, if the Yellow River continues to be diverted to the north and changed to the Liao realm, how should I deal with it?" ”

Su You's whip pointed to the map: "Privy, please look at these contour lines, south of the new river, it is more sparse, and north of the new river, it is more dense. ”

"This shows that the elevation rise of the terrain north of the Xinhe River is greater than that of the south bank, that is, it is steeper and quite high."

"In other words, this is actually the northern edge of the alluvial fan of the Yellow River, so it will not re-enter the Liao realm."

Fu Bi didn't say a word before, but now he is also involved: "This amount of work is ...... Before the disaster and disaster relief, Hebei materials and materials were consumed a lot, and the seven states hoarded for more than ten years, and they were wiped out in one ......"

Su You has been Liangshanbo with a teaching whip: "Xianggong, if you want to save Hebei, you can only rely on transportation from all over the country, that is not possible, and the best way is to make it self-sufficient." ”

"Near Yunzhou, there is coal, there is iron, and iron can be smelted. There is also a large amount of limestone for cement, which can be fired to make cement. ”

"With these two things, the workpieces can be prefabricated and then sent to the river site using hydraulic power, saving time and effort."

"Since ancient times, there have been many salt farms in the coastal area of Hebei, and the Spring and Autumn Period Qi country relied on to be rich and strong."

"With the help of cement and machinery, we can expand the salt farm, so that Hebei will also become an important salt-producing area of the Great Song Dynasty, and exchange it for military money and grain, and become a new economic circle."

Fu Bi asked, "Have you investigated all this?" ”

Sima Guang took out a volume from the "Consultation": "Your Majesty, Xianggong, this is the investigation of the Hebei people's situation in the consultation, the minister has made a general judgment in Yunzhou, but only paid attention to agriculture and mulberry, ignoring this aspect. ”

"Coal has not yet been developed, most of them are villages and towns around the mine, and they are picked up for household use.

"As for the cement, what Mingrun said, the minister is stupid, he doesn't know the reason, and he doesn't dare to say anything."

Wu Chong said with a smile: "I know this, Pingxia City, Gangu City, and a kind of meritorious service to build Suizhou City, what are they all used for...... Cement-laid, this thing was like mud in the early stage of preparation, and after half a month, it was more than a rock, which was equivalent to turning the earth city into a stone city, and the construction period was more than twice as fast as before, which caught the Xixia people and Qingtangbo off guard. ”

Su You bowed his hand to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, this diversion of the Yellow River is actually moving the natural danger to the north and advancing to the border, so that we can use the strength of the water division." ”

"I have advised Your Majesty before that the heavens will descend on the Si people, and they must first suffer their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and the same is true for the country."

"As long as we survive the disaster caused by the early days of the new river in the north and then deal with it, it will be clear that it will not be unprofitable."

"To eliminate the river damage, the root lies in silting down, which is a long-term, slow project, but now that we have a new river, we have plenty of time."

"The first step is to take advantage of the stability period of the new river within five years, step up the consolidation of the embankment, and study the plan for water control."

"In the next five years, water conservancy projects were built, canals were diverted to divert water, fertile fields were irrigated, and at the same time, cement components and gabions were deposited in the dry season, and sand embankments were built for the next year's floods to wash deep rivers."

"After that, trim the section from Bianjing to Hebei, if the national conditions allow, investigate in the upstream, find out the upstream sand area according to the river sand content category, plant vegetation extensively, and use the root system to fix soil and sand."

"Your Majesty, according to our investigation, after the Yellow River has been silent for thousands of years, it has now entered the season of high incidence of river disasters, and the flood disasters have increased dramatically compared to the Han and Tang Dynasties, but as long as we find the right method and have a plan and step by step to be unswerving, the Yellow River will not become a big disaster!"

Next, the ministers raised questions one after another, and Su You answered them one by one, the information was very detailed, the methods were very scientific, and all aspects were taken into account.

Even some of the issues that the ministers who raised the questions themselves did not think of were extended by Su You, and they considered them much more comprehensively than they did.

The fine and pure three moves of Shu Xue shined in this matter, and also made the ministers impressed by Su You's ability.
