"Your Majesty, please go to Anlu Prefecture and control the water!" Xie Qian gritted his teeth and said heavily.

Li Dongyang approached Xie Qian's ear: "Yu Qiao, the magistrate didn't mention anything about Xie Qian, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked around the hall, paying attention to Yan Chengjin's direction, and finally withdrew his gaze.

Man is not born to know.

It took three years for Liu Daxia to figure out the way for the rivers to break through the flooding.

If you want to pick out people who are born from among the ministers, I'm afraid it's impossible.

People who control the water need to wander in the big rivers and rivers all the year round, tame the rivers, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to stay in the court, such as Liu Daxia, who also returned to Beijing in his later years.

Emperor Hongzhi was thoughtful, and Xie Qian needed to sit in the cabinet, so he was not an excellent candidate.

"Master Xie regards the people as children, I am not, but this matter cannot be let Master Xie go, water control is not a day's work, it is better to be recommended by the princes."

Xie Qian raised his head slightly, stunned: "The minister asked to go to Huguang, and he also has selfish intentions, and the minister is ashamed ......."

Xie Pi went to Huguang to control the water, no one knows.

So far, no news has come back, the incense of the Xie family has been buried by Yan Chengjin.

The officials sighed.

Wu Kuan glanced at Yan Chengjin beside him, if Xie Pi couldn't come back, he was afraid that it would be difficult for this son to do anything in the court.

Who in the imperial court dares to confront Mai Mang with the cabinet scholars, only Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "It takes eight days for the officials to arrive in the capital, and the urgent performance was written eight days ago, but I am afraid that the rain has already receded."

The top priority at the moment is to escort the relief grain into Anlu Prefecture.

There will be thieves in every disaster, and please ask Your Majesty to order Korean escorts. ”

It took eight days to rush to the capital, and then rushed to Anluzhou from the capital, at least ten days, and no matter how heavy the rain was, it was over.

Unless......

Xiao Jingteng is holding a concert in Anlu Prefecture.

Zhu Houzhao was not happy: "Lao Gao, why do you need Korean for such a trivial matter as taking grain." ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao, revealing a murderous edge, which frightened Zhu Houzhao and lowered his head.

The court discussed the lives of tens of thousands of people in Anlu Prefecture, so naturally he didn't want the prince to make trouble.

Liu Jian said: "What Yan Chengjin said is reasonable, the wind does not finally come, and the showers do not end. The heavy rain does not last long, and it is urgent to save the people of Anlu Prefecture for now. ”

"Within three days, the household department can arrange for the grain truck to go south." Han Wen continued.

Emperor Hongzhi weighed for a moment and decided that Wang Qiong would personally escort the grain cart to Anlu Prefecture in the middle of the matter.

Anlu Prefecture is exempt from taxes for one year.

Li Dongyang said: "Although there is relief grain going south, if the flood in Anlu Prefecture is ignored, I am afraid that King Xing will beg again." ”

Emperor Hongji nodded.

This is a great time to beg, how could King Xing let go of this opportunity.

If he has the ability to spread to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will use this as a reason, and Emperor Hongzhi will not be able to stop his promotion.

In history, the king of Xing is peaceful.

But after the opening of the Northwest Silk Road, the price of silk soared, and after King Ning made a lot of silver, King Xing was not happy.

Yan Chengjin peeled off the cocoon, and the reason came down to his admonition to open the Northwest Silk Road.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that when Xie Pi set off, the minister had already written the method of water control in science in a brocade box and gave it to him."

There are cases of water control in the Three Gorges, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in the brocade box.

Such as the construction of dikes, spillways, and the resettlement of the Three Gorges.

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang and the others looked stunned and looked at Yan Chengjin deeply.

"Science can still cure water?!"

Yan Chengjin's face was not red and his heart was not panicked, and he said calmly: "Science, it is a knowledge that can change the Ming Dynasty." ”

If you say something wrong, you don't have to cut off your head.

took the opportunity to advertise a wave of science, the water was cured, it was the credit of science, and if it was not cured, Xie Pi's pot.

Earn without losing money.

Baiguan had already heard him say this, and he didn't care.

"If Xie Pi is helpless, let Wang Qing's family stay in Anlu Prefecture to control the water, this matter is not only about the people of Anlu Prefecture, but also about King Xing's begging.

Please also ask Wang Qing's family, don't let me down. Emperor Hongzhi said.

Wang Qiong bowed slightly to receive the order.

Coming out of the temple of Fengtian,

Xie Qian strode up to Wang Qiong and chatted with him, Wang Qiong bowed: "If the lower official has news, he will order someone to send it back to the capital with the urgent music." ”

…………

Anlu Prefecture, Fengxiang Palace.

A middle-aged man who looked quite similar to Emperor Hongzhi was sitting in a precarious position.

Xingwang Zhu Youqi pondered, and sent someone to send an urgent performance into Beijing to the queen mother, at this time, it was a good time to beg, and he was afraid that Emperor Hongzhi would not like it.

"In the past, there were also floods that broke the embankment, but when the flood waters receded, Anlu Prefecture was still a treasure land, and the prince endured it.

But now, the price of silk, the tea industry, and porcelain, one price a day, the tax is not as good as the commercial tax.

Give the Queen Mother a will, and the Xingwang Mansion can move to Jiangnan. ”

Seeing that he was hesitant, Princess Xing analyzed carefully.

"What about Xie Pi?" King Xing looked at the housekeeper of the palace.

"I went to the Han River to control the water, and I heard that many laborers were recruited, and they were mining large stones, and they ordered people to make stoves and concrete ......," said the housekeeper.

Concrete?

Zhu Youqi had heard of laterite, black soil, and loess, but had not heard of concrete.

If Xie Pi cured the water of the Han River, there would be no reason to beg.

"Prepare the carriage, and the king will go and see."

The heavy rain ceased for more than ten days, and the flood waters in the city receded.

But the water level of the Han River is extremely high.

At this time, if it weren't for the fact that Kun Yu was alive, he would have relied on a yellow-haired child in Xie Pi District......

Zhu Youqi felt that he still had to go to the Han River to see, and this concrete made him feel uneasy.

……

Hanjiang River,

Xie Pi was holding Yan Chengjin's brocade box in his hand.

After opening it, he found that the scriptures in it only told an anecdote about a hero who controlled the water and tamed the Tianhe.

Although I don't know much about water control, after reading this water control story called Zheng Shouren, I have a deep understanding.

Tianhe was broken blindly by Yan Chengjin, and there was no Tianhe in later generations.

Attributing the various river control measures to Tianhe will make Xie Pi easier to understand.

Xie Pi carefully read the measures made by Zheng Shouren.

Trees were planted on the bare banks of the river, embankments were strengthened, boulders were moved, concrete was met, and a new tributary was built to discharge the floodwater......

Each item is worth pondering for a long time.

"My lord, there is no food, I am afraid that this river will not be dug down, and the laborers have fled to the famine, and now in Anlu Prefecture, only Xingwangfu still has surplus grain......" Chen Zheng, the county commander of Zhongxiang County, sighed quietly.

King Xing couldn't wait to move to the south of the Yangtze River, how could he help Xie Pi control the water.

Xie Pi said: "The official told him that it just so happened that he came." ”

Not far away, a vermilion sedan chair stopped on the embankment, Zhu Youqi looked at the Han River, and sure enough, as he expected, there was still two inches left, and he rushed out of the embankment.

"Natural and man-made disasters, if you return to the court to restore your life, Your Majesty will not blame."

"What King Xing said is bad, I study science, and the method of water control injected by Lord Yan will definitely be able to tame this district of river water."

"Yan Chengjin?"

Zhu Youqi snorted lightly, although he had never met, he had also heard the princess talk about this imperial history.

"The lower officials recruited 10,000 strong soldiers, and asked the prince to give food."

Xie Pi stared at him closely.

"The official's imperial village was also flooded, and the warehouse was empty." Zhu Youqi put his hands behind his back, looked at the blue-gray soil on the side, and was curious: "This is concrete?" ”

Xie Pi was an engineer, and after coming to Anlu Prefecture, he ordered people to build stoves and start producing dead ash.

Unexpectedly, heavy rain hit, so we had to wait for the rain to pass before starting work.

"If King Xing ignores the people of Anlu Prefecture, the official will play the court." Xie Pi said.

dared to threaten King Xing like this, Chen Zheng's back was soaked.

Zhu Youqi looked at Xie Pi deeply, and then at the rolling river behind Xie Pi, and did not speak for a long time.
