Chapter 148: Twelve Canal Diagrams

It can be said that among the general policy of three lakes and five rivers proposed by Yu Qian at the beginning, the five rivers are easy to do. After all, building a dam is such a thing, and the Ming civil officials have done a lot of it before.

Today's Three Lakes is difficult.

It is even said that it is not three lakes but one lake.

After all, the continent is far away from this dense lake. It can be treated together with water systems such as the Hutuo River. And only Baiyangdian, Desheng Lake, Triangle Lake, Wuguan Lake, and other large and small lakes, seem to be scattered, but in fact they are one.

Now the Hebei water control project has met the most difficult bones.

However, no matter how hard this bone is, it will be in the future.

Yu Qian is about to face his own problem, that is, the Hutuo River has burst its embankment again.

Just when the whole rainy season was about to pass, although there were probably more than 1,000 people in Hebei who were involved in the floods, they disappeared and probably died. However, for the entire flood control project, it is already commendable.

Most of the fertile land has been saved, that is, Baoding County, the fertile land in Wen'an has been flooded, Yu Qian has already exempted the local money and grain, and when the flood recedes, seize the time to replant a wave, and the people's rations can still be preserved.

But I never expected that at the end of the situation, the Hutuo River broke its embankment again.

rushed out of the river planned by Zhang Jing. Heading east, a new channel was carved out over the Hebei Plain, and finally rushed into the Wei River.

Yu Qian had no choice but to put down all the affairs here and go to Artemisia County first to see how the situation was.

After Yu Qian arrived in Artemisia County, he did not look at Zhang Jing first. Rather, it is to see how the people have lost their losses.

I have to admit that the people in this area have long had rich experience in facing floods in the face of the Hutuo River, which swings back and forth all year round. In this regard, the people in many places are not comparable to them.

For them, this was just one of the countless times they had faced the Hutuo River bursting its banks before, and they had no intention of waiting for the imperial court to rescue them.

They themselves began to rebuild their homes.

Of course, they are also accustomed to the absence of government relief.

People's lives are like weeds, growing tenaciously and freely.

Seeing this situation, Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the imperial court to exempt the people from receiving money and food from various places, and even managed to make up 5,000 silver as disaster relief funds.

When everything is almost done, I see Zhang Jing.

Ordinary people mess things up, and when they see their boss coming, they must be the first to dredge up, but Zhang Jing only visited Yu Qian once, Yu Qian was anxious to see the situation of the people affected by the disaster, and he also intended to let Zhang Jing learn a lesson, so he naturally disappeared.

But after that, Zhang Jing didn't come to see Yu Qian once. It seems that if Yu Qian doesn't summon Zhang Jing, he won't

I'm here.

Yu Qian already had some grievances in his heart, but when he saw Zhang Jing, he immediately put all the grievances in his heart outside the clouds, and said, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Jing seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, his hair was actually half white, and he presented a stack of manuscripts with both hands. said: "The lower official can't stand the adult, and now the dark tide movement in the court, the lower official will die by himself, and he dare not ask for forgiveness." I just hope that adults can adhere to the river planning of Artemisia County into Ningjin, which is the work of Xiaguan for two years, as well as the twelve canal maps of Ningjin. As long as this water conservancy can be completed, Xia Guan will die in Jiuquan, and he is also grateful to the adults. ”

Seeing Zhang Jing like this, Yu Qian couldn't help but sigh and said, "Why is this so." ”

Yu Qian knows Zhang Jing, and Yu Qian is also quite knowledgeable.

After the change of the civil fort in history, the main force of the capital was empty, but it took time to regroup, Yu Qian sent Han Qing and Sun Xiang, the imperial history, stationed in the Bauhinia Pass, at that time, the defense of the Bauhinia Pass was too large, and most of the 12,000 soldiers were scattered, Han Qing could only take hundreds of personal soldiers, rushed into the tile spur army, fought for four hours, the whole army was annihilated, and he died by suicide, and Sun Xiang took this opportunity to rectify the customs defense, and then defended for four days, and also died in battle.

That is, Yu Qian sent one general after another, with scarce troops, plus his own slackness, to give Yu Qian fifty days.

And Yu Qian used these 50 days to reorganize Beijing's military forces with Yang Hong and Shi Heng, and reorganized the remnants of the defeated army into 220,000 troops.

Only then can there be a battle to defend Beijing.

At that time, Yu Qian sent the generals who blocked the Tile Spur army, many of whom could not even be found, and they were all selected during this period of time when Yu Qian had just served as the squire of the military department for less than a year, and then served as the secretary of the military department after the Tumubao Incident.

They also completed their tasks very well, and used their lives to buy 50 days for Beijing.

The same is true today.

Now, with the completion of most of the embankments in Hebei's rivers, the remaining water conservancy focus in Hebei, that is, the wetlands with the triangle lake and Baiyangdian lake as the core, and a mainland on one side.

Due to geographical reasons, it is impossible for the mainland Ze Yuqian to take care of both.

In his mind, who is the official who governs the mainland, it is Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing is an old subordinate brought out by Yu Qian in the Shuntian prefect, and his character, ability, and quality are all first-class, and Yu Qian is not unaware that the Hutuo River is a big problem. It is because he knows that he lets the people he admires the most govern.

Yu Qian also knew that Zhang Jing was not without his best efforts.

The entire Hutuo River from Artemisia County to Ningjin River, every inch has been carefully inspected by Zhang Jing, and various reinforcement methods have been tried.

The last time the embankment burst, Zhang Jing also summed up his experience, otherwise this time he would not have lasted for more than a month, and finally he couldn't hold on.

Yu Qian opened Zhang Jing's hand

Draft.

However, I saw that tens of thousands of words were sprinkled on it, the analysis and management of the Hutuo River, various methods, and finally the 12 canals built based on the Hutuo River and the mainland as the core.

Several of the canals are borrowed from the old channels of the Hutuo River.

If this project can be successful. In the two prefectures of Shunde, more than 60 percent of the land can be turned into irrigated land. Yu Qian didn't know how the Baoding Tianjin generation was governed, but as long as this plan was completed, Zhending Mansion would be the granary of the North.

Yu Qian said: "This time the Hutuo River burst its embankment, you can't escape the blame, I have already written to impeach you, but now when employing people, I guarantee that you can make meritorious contributions." ”

"Your Excellency." Zhang Jing's originally cloudy eyes suddenly became clear. "What should I do with the DPRK?"

Zhang Jing's worries have never been without reason.

Yu Qian's power in Hebei is too great, it can be said that he is in charge of the army and the people, and he doesn't care about everything, which is actually very eye-catching.

In addition, this year's rainy season seems to have passed smoothly, and many officials feel as if the water control has been completed.

Now that it's done, it's time to pick peaches, especially the relationship between Yu Qian and Shoufu Yang Pu, which is also a well-known secret.

So many people open their eyes wide to find fault with Yu Qian.

The incident of the Hutuo River bursting its embankment was immediately looked at.

Zhang Jing repaired the river twice and broke the embankment twice, and it seems that he is incapable no matter how he looks at it. If Yu Qian dealt with it strictly, there would not be much gossip.

But now Yu Qian has once again protected him, which has various political risks. Zhang Jing is not a fool, how can he not know?

Yu Qian looked at the Ning Jin Twelve Canal Diagram in his hand. said: "It's so picturesque, I still need you to complete it." He put this set of drawings in Zhang Jing's hand and said: "Only if you can let the people really be determined, from now on there is no worry about drought and drought, what is the point of a little thing?" ”

"It's just that there's no third time."

Zhang Jing took two steps back and said: "Although the lower official has already said it once, but today is shameless, and again, if the Hutuo River cannot be repaired, the lower official will jump into the Hutuo River and ask the river god, why do you want to hurt my Ming people." ”

Yu Qian helped him up and said, "You still have a year." Let's go see what the problem is with the embankment. ”

Zhang Jing immediately said: "Adults don't need to look at it, I have already seen it, there is nothing else, it is the problem of the foundation, the soil is loose, the water flows downward, and the foundation is hollowed out deep underground, no matter how strong the embankment is, it will not be able to hold on, even if the lower official lays a wooden pile more than a zhang deep, it will be useless." ”

Zhang Jing slowly closed his eyes, it can be said that the entire Hutuo River is in his brain, as soon as he closes his eyes, he can see the dam falling layer by layer under the impact of the flood.
