Chapter 717: Drought

Su You shook his head: "Yuan Chang, you are wrong again, turn it upside down, five, three, two is about the same." In the first year, many projects are difficult to achieve results, only the input is not output, and the initial investment of any business is the bulk of the capital consumption. ”

"When the field comes out later, and it is being developed while it is being released, can I breathe a sigh of relief."

"But this is not the most important issue, the most important thing, in addition to money, there must also be materials, manpower, and a lot of waste to be rebuilt......"

Jia Kang and Cai Jing looked at each other, especially this is already the best land boundary in the Great Song Dynasty, okay, this is all called a hundred wastes waiting to be revived, is there still a place in the world that can live?

Su You looked at Cai Jing: "Don't just listen to Elder Jia, Elder Jia, let me ask you, how did you and Shen Cunzhong sum up before?" ”

Jia Jia's old face turned red all of a sudden, ah no, the bottom was too dark and turned purple: "This ...... It's not a deposit to say that Yun Shuai is very rich......"

Su You was speechless: "If you have money, it's not blown by the wind, it's all earned, if you do it, how can you make it?" A career that can't make money can't be sustained! Say what you had planned! ”

Jia Kang said curtly: "The previous plan was mainly to build a few water storage pools, large lakes, and tidal gates upstream, well, if there is a surplus of funds, dredge a few main streams." ”

Su You said that this plan was acceptable, but Cai Jing found a problem: "Upstream? Last year's floods in Zhejiang were mainly caused by downstream blockages, and the delay was urgent, shouldn't the downstream be dredged first? ”

"Oh yes!" Su You also reacted: "Yuan Chang is reasonable, Dayu's water control is channeling, why does Jia Lao use his father's method?" That's going to fail! ”

Jia Kang arched his hand and said: "Luck, at this time and that time, the flood of last year and last year was impossible, but this year, we should turn our attention to the drought." ”

"Drought? Can there still be drought in the Suhu area? ”

Jia Kang was inexplicable: "Of course there are droughts, and there are records in history that major droughts have caused Taihu Lake to bottom out, exposing the roads of underwater villages. ”

Su You understood: "After two consecutive years of floods, the probability of another flood is much less than the probability of drought, right?" ”

Jia Kang bowed and said: "Exactly, and now it is different from before, this is supported by the hydrological data and meteorological data of the new water conservancy law. ”

Su You nodded: "How is the progress of the project?" ”

Jia Jian said: "I am not strong enough to save it. The upstream major project involves the five prefecture armies of Chang, Hu, Taiping, Jiangning and Guangde, and the affairs are complicated, so now only the lake and Yangxian River have been renovated. Only three of the six major lakes were included in the initial project, and as for the artificial Dapu, there was no shadow. Downstream dredging can probably only wait until after autumn. ”

Su You nodded: "I agree with the water conservancy plan of the old man to govern the Taihu Lake Basin, the governor of Huzhou is the old man Sun Juesun, and the Jiangning Mansion is now the judge of the prince of Wang, the second old man used to be good friends, but now it is incompatible, but fortunately, the relationship with me is quite good." ”

"However, involving so many state capitals, so many rivers and canals, the affairs in the meantime are not ordinarily complicated...... Brother Qi, where are the people from the Statistics Department of Sitong Trade Names and the Construction Budget Department of Sitong? ”

Zhang Qi said: "There are still two days to arrive. ”

Su You said: "When they arrived, together with the preliminary survey team, they prepared a budget, and gave the cost of the upstream construction project, the material needs, the ancillary facilities that need to be invested in the construction, and the number of management personnel that need to be equipped with 300 yuan a day." ”

"My opinion is that this project is so huge that it can only be managed by a temporary agency, called the Taihu Lake Water Conservancy Division."

"I am the chief proposer, and I have united with the state capitals around the lake, and ordered him to raise the water conservancy commissioner, as the local water conservancy project manager, who is mainly responsible for the preparation of manpower, materials, and liaison with the local government."

"The two Zhejiang branches of the Huangsong Bank have set up special accounts and accounting books, and a team is responsible for managing the allocation of funds."

"Below the Department of Water Resources, there are separate Divisions of Planning, Survey, Design, Construction, Inspection, Hydrology, Deployment, Personnel, Finance, and the Secretariat and Regulation Division. Do your part. ”

"The Department of Water Resources has two judges, who are directly responsible for the general promotion. In my absence, two judges were in charge of the day-to-day affairs. One of them is more technical and the other is more management. ”

"The one who is partial to technology is the one who belongs to Jia Gong, and the one who is partial to management......"

Cai Jing hurriedly smiled and arched his hand: "Ming Gong, Cai Jing please live." ”

Su You sighed: "I have to trouble Yuan Chang, Elder Jia, how is the development of Kunshan over there?" ”

Jia Kang hurriedly said: "In Kunshan and Changshu, the water conservancy experiment is very successful, otherwise I wouldn't dare to mention such a big ...... Planning. ”

"The Loujiang River over there has been silted, but we have excavated Zhihetang on the basis of it, and Qiyapu from Yangcheng Lake."

"Both of these sites have been renovated to withstand last year's flood and drain 3,000 hectares of good land."

Su You smashed his mouth: "Is there a huge sluice gate over there in Qiyapu?" ”

Jia Kang nodded: "Yes, that is the facility for transferring water to Yangcheng, three thousand hectares of paddy fields, it is by that sluice......"

Su You waved his hand: "No, no, no, I want to ask...... Near the gate...... Are there a lot of crabs? Have you ever damaged the ecology? Are they well protected? ”

Jia Yan was furious, is it good that crabs are the natural enemies of the embankment? ! The old man has never been at odds with them!!

……

The investigation of Taihu Lake has made Su You have no intention of continuing to investigate Kunshan, and Jia's blueprint is too beautiful and tempting, but ...... It's so big.

The project, which was so big that even the Imperial Song Bank could not support it, was put on hold in the Xining period, and it was even more terrifying than the Three Gorges Dam in later generations.

Servitude is a very sensitive topic, and if it does not provoke discussion between the DPRK and China, the wages must be sufficient.

So he had to find a way to make money.

The officials who only knew how to make money had no market in the Great Song Dynasty, especially in Hangzhou, and he had to spare a lot of time to improve the relationship with the scholars and doctors—traveling, feasting, and exchanging poems and writings, at least half of his energy had to be shared.

The "wine and food hell" that once made Su Shi call it may not be ordinary sadness.

But before Su Youren arrived in Hangzhou, he received a letter, immediately sped up his trip, and rushed directly to Yuezhou, which is next door to Hangzhou.

The old man Zhao Luan, now with the name of a scholar of the Imperial Palace, a doctor on the right side of advice, is aware of Yuezhou.

Rushed to the Yuezhou Governance Office, Zhao Luan was already waiting on the dock, and when he saw Su You, he was not polite at all, and threw Su You a booklet: "Mingrun, prepare for disaster relief." ”

Depend on! Can you still say something good about the separation? For example, how big is the flat tank?

When I opened the book, there was a table on it, densely packed with names.

Su You was a little big, and invited the old man to the boat, making tea and waiting: "Zhao Gong, what kind of roster is this?" ”

Zhao said: "I visited the villagers, and the local elders said that there may be a drought in Yuezhou this summer. ”

Su You was surprised: "Is there really a drought?" ”

Zhao Pan was also surprised: "You also heard about it?" ”

Su You arched his hand and said: "Jia Kang and Shen Cunzhong also said that now Wuyue Water Conservancy, drought relief is greater than flood relief, and a project has been built in the upper reaches of Taihu Lake. ”

Zhao stomped his feet: "Far water can't save the near thirst, I have traveled to Wenzhou County, asking how many townships have been affected by the drought in the past, how many people can eat themselves, how many people should be relieved by the government, how many rich people can produce millet, and how many monks have envy millet." ”

"Now that nearly 50,000 stone of rice has been collected from all over the country, plus more than 50,000 stone of official rice and private loans, it is roughly enough to deal with the more than 21,900 registered victims, but the rest of the state capitals are afraid that they are not prepared, so they specially called you here to discuss."

Su You was a little speechless, wherever he went, the disaster followed, God this is quite faceless......

Zhao Pan said: "Behind are some relief measures that I have come up with, you can see if it is feasible." ”

Su You flipped the booklet to the back, and there were many items, such as the previous government disaster relief, and the maximum amount of 3,000 stone out of the warehouse a year was the upper limit, but Zhao Luan thought that it was far from enough, and increased it to 50,000 stones.

One liter of food per day for one adult, halved for children.

Fearing that the hungry people would be looting, it was planned to set up 57 relief sites, and then divide the days for the hungry people to receive food into odd and double days to reduce the degree of overcrowding.

The government's 50,000 stone relief grain was sold at a low price, and in order to avoid crowding, 18 farms were set up.

Officials to be elected are hired to fill their positions, they are paid salaries, and a few places are given to be regularized, which will be used as a reward for outstanding achievements after the disaster relief.

Build a city, work for relief, and the wages are calculated in food.

Encourage private lending, while limiting interest and reporting to the government. The government endorses it, and the organization repays it after the autumn is ripe.

No matter how big or small everything is, it can be said that it is the highest level of government governance and disaster relief today.
