Bai Mingzhe took out a piece of charcoal from the brazier next to him, moved a new brown table to the side of the map, and began to write on the table against the map and the information in his mind.

"Since it is to sort out and control the Yellow River, it is necessary to build water conservancy! In this case, it is better to start construction at the same time, and build some key projects while dredging and governance, so as to benefit the people! ”

Hearing that it would benefit the people, Minzhongqing's face changed slightly, and the whole person immediately became dignified, and said, "Please speak!"

"First of all, I don't know how much money will be invested in this project, and I don't know how many people will be in favor and against! All decisions are up to Your Majesty. ”

Min Zhongqing nodded and said, "This is nature!"

Bai Mingzhe glanced at the map, and then immediately began to write in Lishu font on the table.

"Governing the river is nothing more than two points, one is dredging, and the other is water diversion! Therefore, I have the following humble opinions! ”

"The Yellow River burst not only because of the excessive flow of water, but also because of the serious blockage in the middle and lower reaches. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I suggest that the people immediately dredge the sediment of the Yellow River for later use. ”

Glancing at the map, Bai Mingzhe continued: "Then dredge the Bianqu and lead the water of the Yellow River in. When the water is diverted, the use of cutting and straightening, dredging the shallows, reinforcing the dangerous section, and "ten miles to stand a water gate, so that more mutual attention, and finally achieve the purpose of no further collapse and leakage." ”

"Moreover, from the branch to the hand! Divert tributaries for irrigation and reduce the flow of water from the Yellow River! ”

Bai Mingzhe pointed to a large project marked on the map with his chopsticks.

Min Zhongqing put his eyes on the map, his pupils tightened, he gasped, and then exclaimed: "This is ......"

"That's right! Zheng Guoqu! Bai Mingzhe did not raise his head, and explained as he wrote, "Six small canals should be dug on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Zhengguo Canal to assist in irrigating the lowlands that the Zhengguo Canal cannot reach." Once this project is completed, it will be possible to create thousands of acres of fertile land! ”

In later generations, this project was known as the Six Auxiliary Canals.

Bai Mingzhe was extremely impressed by this project, and his college entrance examination Wenzong was the sixth auxiliary canal of the examination.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Min Zhongqing couldn't help but applaud, and the color of amazement was beyond words.

"If I'm not mistaken, last year, His Majesty approved a decree for a water conservancy project, which will begin in the near future?" Bai Mingzhe said while writing, "If my analysis is not wrong, Your Majesty wants to dig a canal parallel to the Wei River, so I suggest that the water through the canal should be diverted from the mouth of the valley and injected into the Wei River, which is about 200 miles long, and this project will irrigate more than 4,500 hectares of farmland on the basis of that project, and the two can work together to irrigate 20,000 hectares of fertile land!" ”

Don't look at the number of 20,000, which is not much.

There is a big gap between the ancient world and the present.

In ancient times, 1 hectare was 50 acres, which is about 3.33 hectares and 33,333 square meters today.

According to a 100-acre farm, this project will directly benefit nearly 40,000 households and more than 200,000 people.

And this water conservancy project was called Cao Canal in later generations.

"And then in parallel, I suggest. Dig a new channel, lead the Yellow River into the Huai, lead the Huai River into the big river, in the lower reaches of the Huai River, enclose a big lake, store the water of the Huai River. Divert the river under the big lake, pour it into the big river, and drain the water of the Huai River! ”

(Note: In the Qin and Han dynasties, the Yangtze River is also known as the Great River.) )

This large lake was called Hongze Lake in later generations.

The fourth largest freshwater lake in China.

There are two main reasons for its formation, one is that there are some small lakes in the first place, which is the basis for its formation.

Secondly, thanks to the Yellow River's passage into the Huai River, the water flow of the Huai River has been increased.

Therefore, it is time for Hongze Lake to be born.

"Secondly, in the lower reaches of the river, the water from the source around the two counties of Nashanyin and Huiji is a lake, which takes about a year. After completion, you will be exempted from the merits of the people, and you will even get 20,000 hectares of arable land! Stabilize 40,000 households. ”

This lake, in Zhejiang, was called Jianhu Lake in later generations, and the ticket was 115 people.

"Finally, when the flow of the Yellow River slows down, it is introduced into a new channel and the flood is diverted! Starting from Puyang, the river flows through the lowland of the old river and the northern foot of Mount Tai. This place is close to the sea, the terrain is low, and the water is relatively clear. ”

Bai Mingzhe got up and circled an area on the map with charcoal.

"Dig a river channel, pass through the north of Dongjun and Jiyin County, the economic north plain, and finally enter the sea by Qiancheng."

After finishing speaking, Bai Mingzhe threw away the charcoal in his hand, closed his eyes, sat on the bench at once, leaned against the wall, and gasped: "Add one more point!" If we want the Yellow River to reduce the number of floods, we must maintain water and soil in the upper reaches of the river, that is, plant trees and grasses. Let the division immediately investigate and punish those who maliciously destroy the upstream forest. Trees can be cut down, but they should be the same as Mencius said. ”

"If you don't enter the pond, you can't eat fish and turtles. The axe catty enters the mountains and forests at the right time, and the timber and wood cannot be used. The axe enters the mountains and forests at the right time, and the trees are not usable! Maintain water and soil, and the Yellow River will not be in trouble. ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Mingzhe directly relaxed and ignored the things around him.

Although I remember a lot of books, it takes a lot of mental effort to recall.

At some point, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Maybe it's too excited, or maybe it's too tired.

This super project, with the Huai River as a link, connects the Yellow River and the Great River, and is almost a copy of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

It's just that the conditions are much better now than in the Sui Dynasty, and there are many rivers that have not been diverted and have not been cut off.

In addition, the people of the Western Han Dynasty are extremely fond of water conservancy projects, which are easier to implement.

Under the impact of this huge amount of work, Min Zhongqing grew his mouth, he danced and struggled, but he couldn't speak.

Originally, he hoped that Bai Mingzhe would have a way to alleviate the flood, but he never thought that such a huge project would be introduced.

If this is really completed, I'm afraid it's all thanks to Dayu.

He had already foreseen the shocked expressions of the civil and military officials tomorrow after the morning court was raised.

Even, he has foreseen that in the near future, there will be a new magnate in Chang'an that will make the world jealous.

As long as the Yellow River Evil Dragon can be suppressed, the matter of sealing the marquis is almost ironclad, and even, it is very likely to be the liehou!

There are many marquis, and the princes are respected. During the critical period when Liu Che tried to reduce the number of liehous, someone became a new liege, and the significance of this is self-evident.

Min Zhongqing looked at the charcoal chips on the table, then looked at the map on the table, bent down, bowed solemnly to Bai Mingzhe, and said: "Zhongqing represents the sixteen counties in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, millions of people, thank you, Mr."

"You're so polite." Bai Mingzhe hurriedly stood up and also bent down to salute, "The kid's plan is just a proposal." Whether it can be truly implemented depends on His Majesty's decision. If His Majesty agrees, the head of the river will be the only one! If it weren't for Qing, the kid's plan would just be a fantasy! ”

"Hahahaha, Mingzhe is polite. I still know who the credit belongs to. Min Zhongqing patted Bai Mingzhe on the shoulder, "It's not too early, Mingzhe should rest early." The rest of the matters will be decided after I meet Your Majesty tomorrow. ”

After speaking, without waiting to stay, Min Zhongqing left in great strides. With him was the table full of strategies for governing the river, and the cowhide map.

Bai Mingzhe looked at the white back figure who left, still bowed his hand, and said loudly: "Congratulations to the servant!"
