Chapter 666: Governing the River

In the end, the three divisions and the bank had to urgently issue additional small denomination banknotes to make up for the shortage of copper coins, and gradually recycle the old copper coins.

This directly caused the shortage of foreign trade money, so Zhang San's Japanese money occupied the overseas market, and the share of use in Japan, Korea and Liao became heavier and heavier.

However, Su You has not had time to carefully analyze the pros and cons here, and it is already great to be able to solve the money shortage in the southeast and take care of his own family first.

Kaifeng Prefecture was on the right track, and Su You began to review the fields and acres of the sixteen counties for the second time, and according to the revelations of the masses, he punished a group of powerful officials who deceived the upper and lower levels, and fished the villagers.

At the same time, the illegal waterwheel houses on the Bianhe River were inspected, and they were ordered to be demolished within a time limit, or relocated to the recently dredged Guangji River, Huimin River, and Jinshui River. The Bianhe River is a transportation hub, and only basic water conservancy facilities are allowed to be retained.

The three places are just a little far away from Bianjing, in fact, the conditions are not bad, Guangji River leads to Dingtao, Yuncheng; Huimin River Tong Xinzheng, Yingchang; The Jinshui River is more powerful, leading to Zhengzhou.

Suyou opened up favorable conditions and planned three old counties as new bases around Bianjing - Zhongmu, Weishi, and Dongming.

The three places are all on the nodes of the three rivers, and they are roughly 100 miles away from Bianjing, which can be reached in one day by water and two days by land.

Zhongmu is a planned new grain processing base for Suzhou Oil, supplying Zhengzhou and Bianjing.

Weishi has a large number of coal mines and hot springs, which can become a coal industry base and a winter vegetable base.

There is nothing in Dongming, but the environment is beautiful, and there are still large forests, which can become a base for animal husbandry.

The three places already have a certain foundation, but they are far from being developed, and there is great potential to be tapped.

So Su You played and drove all the workshops of the heroes on the Bianhe River to these three places.

However, it is still a stick to give a sweet date, every inch of land on the Bianhe River, where a watermill is moved, Kaifeng Mansion is in three counties, and a large homestead is given, plus a bunch of wooden components, pulled over by boat, and the scale of the waterwheel workshop can be tripled!

The advertising slogan is very loud and rustic - it is actually convenient to go back and forth, and the workshop has become a village in a blink of an eye!

This is still very attractive for a considerable number of workshop owners, who produce and process hundreds of miles away, and then pull them into Bianjing by horse-drawn carriage or boat, although the transportation cost is increased, but the cost of labor and means of production is reduced a lot.

It is not difficult to turn the home in Bianjing City into a shop, enjoy the manor to supervise production a hundred miles away, and have a brother take care of the business in the city, or transfer it - anyway, there are many brothers now.

Compared with the spicy and spicy demolition of the black hand of the black face, the hand of Xiao Su Taibao can be called spring breeze and rain.

The weather is very hot in June, Su You basically runs on both sides of the Yellow River and Bianhe, watching the rolling yellow stream higher than Bianjing City roar eastward, that kind of terrifying scene, which makes people's hearts beat.

Huang Huaixin and the old river workers surrounded Su You, and said that this year's water is small.

Su You was speechless, how big is the heart of the people of Bianjing to dare to sleep under the Yellow River?

An old river worker knelt down to Su You tremblingly: "Little Lao'er's three generations of river workers, Weng Weng, uncle, and younger brother, all died on the edge of the Yellow River, Su Shaobao turned harm and prospered, and the merit was immeasurable--the great disaster in August of the second year of Zhiping, we can bear it in the future——"

In August of the second year of Zhiping, the Yellow River poured into the Bianqu and flooded the entire southeast of Bianjing, after which officials cleaned up the mess in the city and found the bodies of 1,580 victims.

I don't know if the relatives of this river worker are also among the victims of the year, Su You helped the old man who couldn't cry up: "Old man, this is only the upstream and downstream areas, the matter is still very arduous, in the future, maintenance and inspection, dredging the river, day after day must not be slack, the iron river affairs and flowing water officials, heavy responsibilities, but on your shoulders." ”

In June, Su You wrote to Zhao Ji that the first phase of the Kaifeng Prefecture River Control Project was completed, but after investigation, the situation was still very grim.

At the beginning of the dynasty, the river disaster was obviously not strong for three reasons:

First, the government attaches great importance to it, and sends officials to plant mulberry dates to fix the embankment according to the river embankment every year;

the second is to plant poplar and elm trees as disaster-resistant wood;

The third is to dredge the rivers around Bianjing in time once every two years to drain the water in time.

Since then, the river has become more and more troubled for four reasons:

First, the state finance has been a rare respite in Renzong's later years, resulting in the slack of river affairs and serious silting;

The second is to rebuild the embankment and light dredging, resulting in the riverbed rising, now the water east gate down to Yongqiu, the bottom of the river has been higher than the embankment outside the flat land nearly zhang.

Third, in the past, the wetland had a huge role in water storage and flood control, but officials were eager for quick success and encouraged reclamation, resulting in the complete loss of flood storage capacity along the river.

Fourth, the rich and powerful encroached on the river to build gardens, resulting in the narrowing of the river, the poor discharge of floods, and even affected the transportation of water.

As long as these four articles are solved, the flood in Bianjing can be weakened to the level at the beginning of the dynasty.

Whether to govern or not, and to what extent, this is no longer a problem that can be solved by the power of Kaifeng Prefecture Yin, this is a national project.

I would like to ask Your Majesty to summon officials from the two systems and above to discuss and determine the plan.

Zhao Ji played on the occasion and asked Wang Anshi to convene officials and hold a court meeting.

The first topic to discuss is whether what Su You said is true.

This is the simplest, Su You took out more than a dozen maps of Bianjing over the years, and marked a large number of hydrological data, water conditions, disaster intensity comparisons, geographical environment changes, and fish scale maps along the river over the years, so that all participants in the discussion can see the historical changes of Bianqu in the past hundred years at a glance, and finally reach a consensus.

Many officials, including Zhao Ji, only today did they know for the first time why the Yellow River was obviously north of Kaifeng, but the place where the flood occurred was always southeast of Bianjing, and it turned out that it was because of the Bianqu Canal.

The Bianqu leads out the water of the Yellow River from Biankou, which is 100 miles upstream of Bianjing, and then flows through the southwest corner of Bianjing, bypassing the south of Bianjing, and flowing to Yingtianfu in the southeast.

Because the terrain is flat, the sediment of the Yellow River accumulates in the south of the city to the Yongqiu area, raising the riverbed, the big water comes, the drainage can not be done, once the embankment breaks, the southeast of the entire Kaifeng Mansion will become a big puddle.

The reason is very simple, and the method is also simple, which is nothing more than to restore the original appearance of the Bianhe River through measures such as land return, dredging, and obstacle removal.

However, in practice, it is difficult.

Fortunately, Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi are both stubborn donkeys with strong will, and finally adopted a compromise plan.

Dredging and obstacle removal are strictly implemented, and the River and Canal Division is responsible for the dredging work, and the system of the beginning of the country must be restored, and the state funds are allocated every year to carry out the lightning and not stop.

The garden Zhuangzi of the powerful family along the river will be dismantled and all will be dismantled, starting from the Cao family, the Gao family, the Qi Wang, and the Dazongzheng industry.

However, it is difficult to return the land, so Su You suggested that after dredging the river, the project of returning farmland to the southeast of Chenliu County should be carried out, after all, it involves the issue of land compensation, and the land around Kaifeng Mansion is too expensive to pay!

Even so, the demolition of more than 200 mill houses and gardens involves tens of millions of assets!

In order to counteract the resistance of the powerful families, Su You played Zhao Xu, three places away from Bianjing in one day's water, especially Wei's and Dongming, one has a soup spring and the other has a forest, which is very suitable for opening up a manor and other businesses.

Then our Kaifeng Mansion will expand the roads leading to these three places a little more, so that the carriage can run briskly, and it will be convenient for both land and water in the future.

In fact, it is far more comfortable to take a long vacation to recuperate in the past than to be crowded in the suburbs of Bianjing.

So Zhao Ji waved his hand and agreed, Sitong Construction will first go to draw the best boundary for my elders and brothers, repair the garden, this money, I will pay!

solved the relatives and the royal family, and none of the other powerful families dared to jump.

After Su You showed the renderings of the manor built by Sitong to the nobles, the illegal buildings by the Bianhe River were demolished quickly.

Special Fubi and Sima Guang used to play like this in Luoyang! I knew it was like this, so what else is there to say?!

King Qi, did you inquire clearly, the last choice of the two queen mothers was the spring or the mountain forest? I don't know? If you don't know, go and inquire!

The arrogance of the powerful families made Su You a little crying and laughing.

Zhao Ji is too generous, and his uncle and younger brother are the standard of 200 acres of Zhuangzi to move in.

How did this matter become the way for future developers to compensate?!
