Si This kind of thing, followed to Wanping seven years ago, Jia Cong has already seen it, but at that time, he couldn't be the master of everything, and he was purely experienced. This is a kind of crop straw mixed with clay, and then tied together with rope and hemp, which is a common preparation for river blocking.

Jia Cong touched the thing that condensed this square, it seems to be cement, but this kind of cement is different from modern ones, you must know that the composition of cement is simple, clay, iron ore, lime, gypsum, the reaction process, a middle school student can also push it out, but the cement production process is very complex and cumbersome, at least if you go into battle in person, Jia Cong himself finds it difficult. But the ancient craftsmen, really can not be underestimated, they just have no knowledge guidance, the technology is not low, it seems, the use of cement, compared with the use of clay, lime, viscosity is stronger, more stable.

In ancient times, there was also the choice of glutinous rice to bond the city wall, it is no joke, most of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty is rammed, there is still to this day, the Ming Dynasty Nanjing City has also used glutinous rice, the wisdom of the ancients, is not low.

He waved his hand to Zhong Yin to come over, "What are you calling the earthwork, masonry, and silicon?" ”

Zhong Yin knelt down and stood up again: "Lord Hui, it's called cement, and the grass people don't know how to do it, but there are several factories in Huai'an, which originally made earthwork and masonry, this kind of cement, the viscosity is strong, the fathers have never seen it, it seems to have been out for a few years, and it is different year by year, and it was not so hard before." ”

"How much do you get paid every month? How? ”

Zhong Yin didn't know that the cement was raised by Jia Cong, the above news, they knew very little, Jia Cong's question, he was not easy to answer, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "There is no certain salary, sometimes it is all private apportionment, every household has to plant willows, reeds, and soil, take out straw and earthwork, sometimes give money, sometimes don't give money......

Jia Cong pondered, it seems that it will take some time to convert conscription into being completely funded by the government.

The Ming Dynasty failed to govern the river, because the political control was not good, and the corruption was to an outrageous degree, even if there were people like Pan Jitao, they were powerless to return to the sky, relatively speaking, the Qing Dynasty was more effective in this regard.

However, the corruption and corruption of the Qing Dynasty were as serious as ever, and 800,000 taels were used just to block the Dawang Temple, and during the Qianlong period, the government's money for the control of the river exceeded 10 million yuan.

Is there 10,000,000 pieces of silver that have been put into practice? No, you don't even need to think about it, and you don't even need to verify it.

Now Jia Cong has also seen that it will never be possible for officialdom to be as clear as water!

Seeing that Jia Cong seemed to be very tired, Zhong Yin said tentatively: "Do you want to go in and have a cup of tea with Xiaomin, these dog days, when it is sunny, the sun is poisonous, or it will be stormy and ......."

Jia Cong shook his head, and stepped on the cowhide and wooden board of the van boat, the van boat is not used for riding, but specially used for water construction, the boots stepped on, and the water under it soaked into the boots, Sun Fu and they followed, Zhong Yin raised the face towel around his neck, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and saw that Lord Yushi had walked under the stone dam, and suddenly worshipped: "I heard that Jia Yushi is a great official, the sky kills the stars, and as soon as he comes, he will do the Taoist platform of our Huaiyang Dao, which is the Taoist platform of the four-pint blue complement......"

"Sipin is red, not blue, that Daotai killed the official. How can Jia Yushi not do him, the previous Yushi Xingyuan sent a notice that Huaiyin Qizhou County was for disaster relief, and the rice porridge had to be plugged in with chopsticks and not fallen, and the towel was wrapped without seepage, this is really for our little people......"

"I also heard that he wants to pay out of his own pocket and put it on this river and replace it with a platform, how can he ......"

Zhong Yin and some other river workers and people looked at the young adult in the distance with reverence and awe.

Jia Cong had no intention of enjoying their gaze, rolling the Yellow River, sweeping the Loess Plateau, the Central Plains, and the river water of northern Jiangsu, right in front of him, fiercely flowing eastward, the voice was fierce and tragic, the color was turbid and yellow, and he was not in the mood to sing a few times "The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the romantic characters ...... through the ages", but looked at the remote embankment in the dam.

Personally inspecting to this day, this is the only thing he is satisfied with.

The first layer of the Yellow River is the embankment, which is generally not high, and if it is too high, it will not be able to withstand the impact of the Yellow River during the flood season.

The second layer is the remote embankment, which is higher than the embankment, and between the embankment and the embankment, there are several zhang of open space, which is specially reserved for sediment.

The Yellow River carries the most sediment, and the sediment also wraps the crops along the river, and the remote embankment retains your sediment and can also increase the riverbed on the riverbank, which not only prevents outflow, but also protects the Yellow River.

Of course, it is not enough to have these two layers, the Yellow River is flooding, millions of corpses are ambushed, and in another time and space, Li Zicheng will open the Yellow River, and the entire Kaifeng City will be submerged, not to mention the Lixiahe area in Huai'an?

Therefore, it is also necessary to design a layer of water reduction dam to reduce pressure, which according to the wisdom of the ancients, the length, width and height of the dam must be built according to one to two to five, this ratio is the strongest one that has been practiced.

In addition, in order to reduce pressure to the maximum, it is necessary to excavate the river channel for diversion and drainage, and after practice, the character "Chuan" is generally the most suitable.

Of course, all of this requires manpower, material and financial resources.

However, for a country, the most important thing is not human, material and financial resources, but political control and operational efficiency.

Culture is the external manifestation of politics, economy is the internal manifestation, but also the decisive factor, in turn, politics determines the economic productive forces, in the feudal society, has been destined to cure the Yellow River, it is absolutely impossible, the reason is very simple, feudal politics determines the small peasant economy, this economy can not support the burden of the Yellow River, so, can only treat the symptoms.

Looking back at the modern reservoir, many things will not and cannot be made public, and when necessary, let the brick family come out to refute the rumors, well, and then the brick family was slapped in the face by the facts......

Jia Cong thought about it for a while, and returned to the middle fort on the shore, and at this time Lu Lianxian also arrived, and recruited the Tongzhi, the general judge, and the affairs of the river yamen, as well as some river workers' representatives.

The river yamen is designed according to the model of the governor's yamen, and the layers of officials are equivalent to the department chief, bureau chief, section chief, and division chief, which is almost the same meaning, the difference is that they are in charge of the river, and most of the appropriations go into the pockets of these people.

"Ahem...... This patrol doesn't say much, these 130,000 are the official's family funds. Jia Cong made a look, Jia Yun took out a stack of silver tickets, Jia Cong said: "It's my advance, it can barely support dozens of days......"

Some of the officials of the river and river yamen stared greedily at the silver ticket for a few seconds, this Taizhou silver ticket is still reputable, and the 130,000 silver ticket can almost be exchanged for 100,000 silver. Others bow their heads in shame.

Jia Xun pressed...... This ......" Lu Lianxian wanted to speak and stopped, not to mention that Jia Cong was insisting on taking bribes in an open fire, even if he handed over the silver, but doing it in person would make these officials look bad, these hundreds of thousands, falling below, how many tens of thousands?

"Your Excellency and Jia are in harmony." Jia Cong pressed Lu Lianxian's words, and didn't seem to care, "Jia Someone, let's go back to Xingyuan to write a fold, and ask for some silver." ”

The officials calmed down, Jia Cong took people away, Lu Lianxian suddenly remembered Jia Cong's methods to rectify the witch boat, his heart sank, and he smiled: "Gu Tongzhi take me to do it." ”

Tongzhi is his second official, and he has an unshirkable responsibility, Gu Tongzhi heard it, and his heart was overjoyed: "Thank you, my lord, the next official will definitely do a good job!" ”

Other section chiefs and directors couldn't help but blush, 130,000 yuan, in today's RMB, let alone 60 million yuan.

Lu Lianxian retreated to the temporary study, and the staff member came in again: "Master, those little ones have visited a beauty again, who is from the Jinling royal family, only in her twenties, married once, and her beauty is not lower than that of the original ...... surnamed Qin."

and took out the drawings, Lu Lianxian looked at it, and it was really a beauty! The staff also said that Wang Zisheng is not an official family, without Wang Ziteng, he is also down, and it is not illegal to marry her as a concubine, Lu Lianxian was a little happy: "You go down to inquire about the meaning of the Wang family, if it is done, you will have 5,000 taels ......."
