Mencius once said: "One eliminates the other. The same is true for rivers and lakes, when the dry season, it is indeed the water of the lakes and tributaries that flows into the river, and when the summer season, the river water surges at this time and will flow into the lake, regulate the flow of the river, control the flood, this is probably the reason why the Yangtze River floods very rarely, unless there is a super heavy rain once in a few hundred years, the Yangtze River with Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake will no longer have to worry about flooding. Morton said in one breath.

Li Shimin suddenly said: "In this way, the reason why the Yellow River will produce water is because of the lack of lake regulation in the downstream, and once the Yellow River has too much water, there is nowhere to bloom, which is the cause of the flood." ”

Merton nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Li Shimin's mouth was suddenly full of bitterness, he would rather not be so wise than so desperate, the bed of the Yellow River is too high to form a lake.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty also figured out this, and couldn't help but feel gloomy for a while.

Merton looked at the history of the king and said with a regretful face: "We read the book of sages and sages hard, all of us want to get the truth of life from the book of sages, but we don't know that in addition to these life philosophies, there is also the great truth that there is water flowing down between heaven and earth. ”

Wang Yushi's face was suddenly flushed with choking, and he even confused the simple truth, and said stiffly: "The Yellow River is too high, there is no lake at all, you are talking nonsense." ”

Merton glanced at him, snorted coldly, ignored him directly, and arched his hand towards Li Shimin: "When the water is full, it overflows, and the moon is full of wax and wan, no one can change this, Weichen can say with certainty that as long as this rainstorm does not stop, the Yellow River will definitely flood." ”

Merton remembers that the history books clearly wrote that in September, floods in Henan and Shandong,

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu suddenly stagnated, his breathing was suddenly short, and he couldn't help but look desperately at the heavy rain outside the window, which didn't look like there was any sign of stopping.

"In that case, we can only sit back and wait for disaster to happen." Duan Lun said desperately.

"It's just that the people of Henan Province have suffered." Li Shimin closed his eyes in pain.

"There's no way?" Cheng Yanjin asked without giving up.

"It's not impossible, but ......" Before Merton's words fell, he immediately noticed the murderous aura, and hurriedly said with a cold back: "Since we can't change the fact that a flood is about to occur, we can change the location of the flood." ”

"Change the location? You mean take the initiative to burst the embankment! The eldest grandson Wuji was taken aback, and pointed at Morton with a trembling face of heartache.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also in an uproar. Looking at Merton in disbelief, even if it was a person who committed the most heinous crimes, he would not dare to do such a heartbreaking thing.

In history, there have been several people who broke the embankment of the Yellow River, but none of them were recorded in the history books, leaving a stench for 10,000 years, and no one thought that this method actually came from the mouth of the Mo family.

"Buddhism once said: Killing one person and saving a hundred people is for the Buddha, and the Mo family is worthy of cultivating a hundred schools, do you want to become a Buddha on the ground?" Wang Yushi is sarcastic in his mouth, but he is ecstatic in his heart, Mo Jiazi! Mo Jiazi, you finally made a fatal mistake.

Even if Mo Jiazi's move saves countless people, as long as one person is sacrificed, it will be the biggest stain on Mo Jiazi's life.

"Killing one person to save a thousand is still evil! Every Tang Dynasty is my people, and I will not take their lives for no reason. Li Shimin said proudly, he used to have a little heartbeat, but he was quickly suppressed by reason.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers immediately shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, Merton is still young and has no choice in what to say, please forgive your Majesty." Qin Qiong hurriedly said anxiously.

"Merton, hurry up and admit your mistake to Your Majesty." Cheng Yanjin also said something to help.

Merton looked at the courtiers who were adding drama and said helplessly: "What Weichen means is that although there are no lakes on both sides of the Yellow River, there are also many low-lying places, and Your Majesty can seal this place as a flood discharge area, prohibiting the people from living, once the summer flood season comes, the Yellow River swells, and when facing the danger of bursting the embankment, you will break open this section of the Yellow River embankment and divert the flood water to the flood discharge area banned by Your Majesty, so that the Yellow River embankment can be guaranteed, and the people will not be killed or injured, isn't it the best of both worlds." ”

"Flood zone?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, so to speak, this flood discharge area did temporarily serve as a lake.

"Wonderful! It's a great way to do it. Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said excitedly.

"Duan Aiqing, is this method really feasible?" Li Shimin asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely feasible, Your Majesty, please see, there are many low-lying places on both sides of the Yellow River, if the flood season comes, the Yellow River is in danger of bursting, you can lead the water of the Yellow River here, and wait until the water level of the Yellow River is safe, and then block the breach, so that in the Yellow River, just like the Yangtze River, there are several more lakes to adjust the water level, and the disaster of flooding in the Yellow River can be minimized." Duan Lun said excitedly.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were also in an uproar all of a sudden, this reason is very simple, just like the water in the tank is full and about to overflow, then take a basin and bring out a basin of water, so that the tank can continue to fill water.

"It's so easy!" Many courtiers muttered to themselves that the truth would be broken as soon as it was stabbed, but no one had ever thought of it since ancient times.

The officials present all looked at this delicate young man with complicated eyes, and a small young man actually solved the problem that had trapped China for thousands of years.

"I'll just say that the Mohists advocate and love each other, how can they do innocent things that sacrifice others." Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, looking at Merton was even more kind than his own child.

"Mo family!"

Many people sighed in their hearts, the Mo family's way of doing things is really different. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are great rivers that are familiar to the sons and daughters of China, but no one has ever connected the two, and they have never thought that the secret to solving the flood of the Yellow River lies on the Yangtze River.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and did not hesitate for the moment, and immediately ordered: "Immediately expedite eight hundred miles and send a message to Henan Dao." Immediately take Qucun on the bank of the Yellow River as a starting point, and move all the people in the surrounding hundreds of miles to higher places, and once the people are transferred, they will immediately burst the embankment and discharge the flood. ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, the palace guards hurriedly took the order and left.

Although there was a solution, they didn't know if it would be in time, so the officials had to secretly pray that the Yellow River embankment would be able to hold on.

"What about the people in the flood area, who have lost their homes and are displaced!" Wang Yushi suddenly asked.

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly scolded his pig teammates, in the face of such a severe flood, what is the loss of this part of the farmland property?

Merton said without hesitation. Said: "The people in the flood area must be relocated in the shortest possible time, and in the future, all the flood areas will not be able to live, which requires the local government to resettle people in this area, but after the flood, you can develop farmland, I believe that after the flood, this land will be more fertile, but when it comes to the flood season, all the flood areas must be emptied of all people in case of emergency. ”
