"To control the river, we must first control the sand, otherwise no matter how much we reinforce it, there will be a time when it will rise above the embankment. The accumulation of sediment is the root cause of river trouble. ”

In the Xianping County Ya, it was crowded, and many of the majestic county dignitaries on weekdays were squatting aside, and Yang Lin was sitting in the middle.

The small county yamen squeezed into a few hundred people, making the hall a little stuffy, although now some people are staring at a middle-aged county magistrate and talking.

Yang Lin asked: "What you said is quite insightful, what is your name, which county?" There is also the control of desertification, how to deal with it. ”

When the junior official saw Shaozai's support, he was even more energetic, rolled up his sleeves and said: "Back to Shaozai, the next official is Lingzong Ze of Yanjin County, and the lower official thinks that to control sand, it is necessary to build an embankment to control the water, and use water to control the sand." ”

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar, and many people have begun to laugh at it.

Yang Lin heard the name slightly familiar, and couldn't remember it for a while, waved his hand, and said scoldingly: "Aren't you crazy about this county order, if you don't widen the river, you still have to bind the water?" ”

Bunching water is to narrow the river, and now that the water is flowing everywhere, it will definitely be more difficult to control the water again.

Zong Ze Yuanyou was a jinshi in the sixth year, and it has been sixteen years now, that is, he was a jinshi when Yang Lin was born. It is still a county order, it can be seen that this person is not very good at drilling camps, and there is no backstage, and he was not panicked when he heard the denial of Shaozai of the dynasty, but justified loudly: "Shaozai, just imagine that the river is wide, the flow rate is small, and the sediment will accumulate and precipitate, which will only increase." If the river is narrow, the flow rate will be fast, and the sediment will be lifted under the impact, so there will be no need to raise the embankment, and we will have enough time to treat. ”

When Yang Lin heard this, he fell into thought, he really couldn't tell if it made sense.

If the river is narrowed, it really has the effect of washing away the sediment, which is certainly feasible.

But if it is a matter of course, once the narrowing is narrowed and the flood deepens, it will become a laughing stock for the ages.

Looking up, Zong Ze's face was resolute and resolute, and then looked at the group of county orders next to him who were full of fat, Yang Lin slapped the table, got up and said, "Damn, don't care, bet." Anyway, no matter how bad it is, if it succeeds, it will be a long-term solution. ”

At the moment, in the sixteen counties of Kaifeng Prefecture, the county governor, the county order, the main book... Under the circumstance of these people, a detailed plan for river control was formulated.

The first is to plant trees and grass upstream, and the order is to go directly to the Yongxing Military Road, and send people from the investigation factory to supervise.

Secondly, the embankment was rebuilt along the river to narrow the river channel and accelerate the flow of water to impact the sediment. Then build a flood control channel outside the river and build a flood distribution area.

Then let the Hebei Zhulu idea to drain the water, reduce the sediment accumulation, and organize the people to dredge and build embankments.

"As for the people, they are recruited from the refugees, and they are paid every day according to their work, and they are paid every day."

In this flood, hundreds of people were displaced and many houses were washed away, so Yang Lin took the opportunity to order to use more bricks and stones and less wood to build houses.

First, you can cut down some trees less, and it is also for fire and waterproofing.

After the order, some county orders have begun to disagree, and they all think that Shaozai is on the way, and they actually believe Zong Ze's words.

As everyone knows, in the later generations of river governance, the method of binding the river and flushing the sand was all adopted.

In Yang Lin's view, as long as the upstream water and soil are strengthened, the sediment will be reduced. If the silt is then washed and salvaged, the trouble of the Yellow River will be greatly reduced.

After the meeting ended, Yang Lin patted the shoulder of the county commander Zongze and said with a smile: "Work hard, if you have results in the future, this official will guarantee your promotion." ”

Zong Ze smiled, hugged his fists and walked out of the yamen, Yang Lin pouted and said, "Seven-rank petty official, he is quite backbone." ”

Suddenly, Yang Lin thought about it, Zong Ze? Isn't Nima the famous general who crossed the river with three calls?

I didn't expect a generation of famous generals, who have been up and down in the sea for more than ten years, and now it is still a county order...

---

The number of people who give orders from above is large, and the efficiency of the lower is high, which is an eternal rule.

Yang Lin is hot now, he is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and as soon as he issued an order, all the officials below immediately put into work.

Everyone wants to show their faces in front of this young young man, and maybe they will be promoted, but it is much better than working hard in their own small county.

In order to supervise them, Yang Lin directly built a big tent on the high ground on the bank of the river in Xianping County, and settled here with the men and horses of the Banzai Battalion.

It only took three days for construction to start in various places, and Yang Lin got up early in the morning, and after a little washing, he took the people of the Banzai Camp to inspect everywhere.

From the public point of view, the river repair is a thousand years of great plan, which is related to the lives of millions of Han people along the river, and from a private point of view, the river is not eliminated, and their own chariots, horses, and transportation do not know how much money they lose every day.

In the muddy field, countless sturdy men sweat like rain, the Banzai Camp has taken over all the grain business in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the looting a few days ago is piled up in the base camp of the Banzai Camp, saying that the food will be given to whomever it is, and these men can't help but work hard.

Ordinary refugees are also grateful to the imperial court for giving them such a chance to live, and repairing the river is a big deal for them, because they have lived here for generations, and every flood is a disaster.

But it's still a little, and the dog can't change its eating, so it wants to do nothing and come to rub the food to get it.

Yang Lin walked through the first day, looked silently in his eyes, and didn't say anything.

After returning to the big tent, Yang Lin's face was gloomy and he summoned Lu Qian from the Long Live Camp to come and see him.

After Lu Qian entered the account, he saw that Yang Lin's face was not good, and said, "Shaozai, the wife of your classmate, we have already begun to arrange manpower." ”

Yang Lin nodded and said, "That's not in a hurry, I only brought a few guards today to patrol on both sides of the embankment." There are many people who rely on the ferocity of the to mingle with the refugees and act as a prestige..."

Lu Qian hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, Shaozai, when we smuggled salt, we didn't see anything indiscriminate. These are still light, and those who took advantage of the flood to take advantage of the flood, many orphans lost their parents, came here to deceive children, young girls, and beautiful women, and their subordinates are secretly investigating. ”

Thinking of his several righteous sons, Yang Lin felt a little heavy, this era encounters such a disaster, which will inevitably give birth to a large number of homeless orphans.

It is worth mentioning that there is only Cai Jing in the Song Dynasty who vigorously promoted the system of nursing homes, Anjifang and Drain Zeyuan, which is undoubtedly the peak of the relief system of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is unprecedented in history, and even above the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Nursing homes are dedicated to the adoption of "widows, widows and lonely people", elderly people over the age of 60 who have no one to support them, as well as orphans, street children, disabled people, and refugees and hungry people who have no basic livelihood.

Anjifang is responsible for the treatment of patients who have no money for treatment, that is, the so-called "people who deal with the diseases of the people without telling them". After entering the patient, he or she will be treated free of charge.

There is also a drain garden that is responsible for burying the deceased in the nursing home and Anjifang, as well as the "exposed trenches" after the "lonely old people die of illness" in the society. For this reason, there is also a cemetery specially purchased by the official family.

This notorious and famous adulterer, the word "adultery" sums up his life, and he deserves this word, but the treatment system for orphans and widows is also formulated by him.

"Catch it, gather it, behead it on the river embankment, and sacrifice the river to the sky."

At this time, a small soldier came in and said with a crossed hand: "Shaozai, there are people outside who ask to see you." ”

Yang Lin was in a bad mood and asked casually, "What birdman?" ”

"It's a beautiful woman."

"Come in, please."
