Chapter 519: River Disaster

Su You hurriedly waved his hand: "It's serious." Why don't you invite Ling Lang in and let Wei'er see the injuries with him? The fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy Lang was so strong and stubborn, and when he knelt outside and went in and out, he was afraid that he would not be able to get down. ”

Sun Xue said: "And let him kneel." Tanhualang, the county gentleman, the surviving person has a reluctant request......"

Su You said: "Junjun said that it doesn't matter. ”

Sun Xue said: "After this incident, my boy's temperament has changed a little, and he only stayed in a daze in the house. ”

"I heard that the court was accepting the children of martyrs into the forbidden army, so I thought that instead of letting him get into trouble outside, it would be better for the son to inherit his father's business and eat his father's bowl of rice."

Su You said: "Jun Jun can think about it, if he joins the army, he will also go to the battlefield in the future, the sword has no eyes, it is really a fight for the future." ”

Sun Xue said: "We were originally born in poverty, and it was his father's life with a knife and a gun in exchange for the current life in the family. There is still a younger brother below him, five younger brothers, who are not afraid of being embarrassed, and the court's pension pulls most of the eldest sons......"

Shi Wei couldn't listen to it anymore, and looked at Su You with a blank look.

Su You sighed: "Ling Lang has an injury on his hand now, and no one else will recover it if he joins the army directly, I think it would be otherwise, now I am also the third grade of the DPRK, and there is less companionship in and out, so it is better to accept Ling Lang by his side, one is to recuperate, and the other is to wait for the opportunity." With me, there are also people who have a share of the imperial court. ”

"The political hall has decided today, let me and Master Sima check the river affairs, and we will leave tomorrow and tomorrow, if the county monarch has no opinion, then let Ling Lang hurry back and prepare, we can set off at any time."

Sun Xue stood up and bowed again: "Thank you Tanhualang, thank you County Jun." ”

Su You hurriedly returned the salute: "If you don't give this ceremony, it's all for the sake of the face." ”

Sun Xue said: "Then call him in and meet Tanhualang." ”

After a while, the boy came in, holding his hands and bowing his head, and said nothing.

Sun Xue scolded: "You bastard, don't hurry up to meet Tanhua and the county monarch, and from now on, you will honestly follow Tanhua and be a personal companion." ”

Su You said: "I can't say it's a companion, it's a companion, it seems that you are also fourteen or fifteen, but you have a table?" ”

Sun Xue said: "Xiao'er is fourteen this year, his name is Sun Neng, and he is a cadre. ”

Su You nodded: "The name is good, do you know the story of the surrounding area?" ”

The kid looked up, confused.

Su You said: "Zhou is the minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the son of Zhou Yi, the Taishou of Poyang in Eastern Wu. ”

"When he was young, he was fierce and chivalrous, rampant in the county, strong and strong, good at riding horses, trampling on the fields, and suffering from the township."

"There are Jiao in the water in Yixing in his hometown, and there are mourning tigers in the mountains, all of them are violent people, and the people of Yixing are called three horizontal, and the surrounding is especially dramatic."

"So some people lobbied around to kill tigers and kill Jiaojiao, in fact, they hoped that only one of the three horizontal would be left."

"Kill the tiger first, and then hit the dragon. Jiao or float or not, travel dozens of miles, everywhere with it. ”

"After three days and three nights, the township is said to be dead, and they are even more celebrating."

"But Zhou didn't die in the end, but killed Jiao Jiao. When I heard the people celebrating each other, I knew that I was suffering from human feelings, and I had to change my mind. ”

"So he went to Wu Di to look for the two wise men at that time, Lu Ji and Lu Yun, but his elder brother Lu Ji was not there, and he only saw his younger brother Lu Yun."

"Zhou Chugu said with affection: 'I want to revise myself, but the years have passed, and I am worried that I will not achieve anything.' ”

Lu Yun replied: 'The ancients died at night, and the future of the emperor is acceptable. And if people are not willful, why worry about making their names unremarkable! ’”

"Zhou Zai is a reformer, and he will eventually be a loyal and filial son, and his deeds are better than his father's."

Sun Neng was just about to speak, but Su You raised his hand to stop: "The story is very moving, isn't it?" Therefore, it is easy to make people excited and enthusiastic. ”

"Your father fought bloodily on the battlefield, served his country with all his loyalty, and used his talents where they should have been. The Manchu Dynasty was full of admiration and admiration. ”

"I don't want you to answer now, and I won't listen or believe if you do."

"You go back and calm down, and then think about yourself for a day—what kind of person you want to be in the future; What are you going to do to become that kind of person from now on? ”

"I've figured it out, I've thought about it, I don't have any knots in my heart, and then I'll tell me the answer. For your father's sake, I will do my best to help you no matter what you want to do. ”

"Now let the county gentleman check your injuries, and after the bandage, go back with your mother."

That night, Su Song and Chen Zhaoming and Su Xiaomei came to visit together.

When Su Song entered the door, he complained: "Mingrun, how can you come out of this?" I have checked the river engineering records in recent years, and the Yellow River is now about to burst its dam in more than two years. ”

Su Mingrun bowed, and then asked Su Song very calmly: "Brother clan, then you say, besides me, is there a more suitable candidate for the inspection of river affairs in the court?" ”

Su Song sighed: "I knew that you would come to gag my mouth, no matter what, I will not hesitate to do this for the country, my Su family also has a character like Fan Wenzheng, and the clan brother is also proud of you." ”

said that he was proud, and his tone and expression did not mean half of pride.

A few people entered the room and sat down, and Su Songcai said: "Is Mingrun familiar with the changes of the Yellow River?" ”

Su You shook his head: "I only know that the river disaster comes from the sediment in the water." After the Yellow River flows through the Jingwei Plateau, because the local soil is loess, when the river reaches the Luoyang area of Chang'an, there is already a bowl of water and three parts of mud in the river. ”

"Because of the flow rate, the sediment does not accumulate to the bottom of the river, so its midstream is relatively safe."

"But when it passes through Kaifeng and reaches Hebei, because of the low and flat terrain, the flow slows down, which means that the sediment is also deposited."

"As the sediment at the bottom of the riverbed is getting higher and higher, the water level is rising. When the silt filled the riverbed, the river channel no longer existed, and the huge amount of water from the Yellow River had to find another outlet to the sea, so disaster struck. ”

"The root cause of the problem is to plant vegetation in Shaanxi to protect the soil and reduce the amount of sediment it carries."

"This is the case with the Jing River, when it first emerges from Liupan Mountain, the river water is clear, and it can even be used directly to cook tea."

"You can enter Weizhou, because the agriculture on both sides of Weizhou is developed and the vegetation is exhausted, so it begins to carry a huge amount of sediment."

"By the time we enter the entrance of the Wei River, it is already half water and half mud, resulting in a strange scene of 'clear distinction between Jing and Wei'."

"The Jing Canal in Qianqin was blocked for this reason, and after I arrived in Weizhou, I reopened the source of the canal in the upper reaches of the Jing River to solve this problem."

After speaking, he sighed: "Shaanxi is now a place of heavy defense, local manpower, full cultivation and supply of the army is not enough, firewood camps, all kinds of equipment, all need a large number of trees. Now talking about afforestation is a bit whimsical. It's Da Su, and he has a lot of pine forests in Fengxiang. ”

Su Song nodded: "It makes sense, but the problem of river damage is not only prominent in our dynasty, but also very serious in previous dynasties." ”

"Before Qin, the river worker was an important position in the imperial court, and the co-workers, Dayu, Hebo, and Kuafu, these are all great sages who controlled the water in ancient times."

"There is a Zhou generation today, the Yellow River embankment has been repeatedly repaired, and it has been repaired and collapsed, which is basically a break every two years and a diversion every hundred years."

"In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after years of war and turmoil, there was no strength to govern the river, which led to the simultaneous rupture of the Yellow River and the Bianhe River, and the entire north turned into Hongze."

"It wasn't until thirty-six years later, when the national strength rose, that Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty appointed King Jingxiuhe, a Lelang man."

Wang Jing focused his efforts on the Bianhe River, an important tributary of the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Use the Bianhe River from Xingyang, that is, the northwest of Zheng County, to divert the Yellow River, through Tokyo, Nanjing, to Xuzhou into Surabaya, and then into the Huai River, to Qiancheng Haikou into the sea. ”

Chen Zhaoming said: "This section of the project is more than 1,000 miles long, and Wang Jing has cut and straightened the Bianqu, dredged the shallows, strengthened the dangerous sections, and renovated the downstream river. At the confluence of the Bianhe River and the Yellow River, a sluice gate was set up to control the flow of the Yellow River into the Bianhe River. ”

Su Song said: "Below the mouth of the Bianqu River, a water gate is erected every ten miles, and the amount of water flowing into the Bianhe River is controlled by regulating the water gate, so that the water volume of the Bianhe River is kept in a balanced state, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the Bianhe River." In the event of a flood season, the Bianhe River is able to divert large amounts of water from the Yellow River, thereby protecting the lower reaches of the Yellow River's dikes. ”

Su Xiaomei added: "In order to control the water this time, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty mobilized hundreds of thousands of people and troops, and spent tens of billions of copper coins. Countless materials were used, and trees in the Central Plains were cut down. ”
