Chapter 57: Unbelievable

Jia Changchao secretly lucked himself, and vowed that if the kid said that the solution was something like "plugging that hole", he would kick Xu Deshan down, and then call Zhou Di to come over and kill him with a knife, and then find a place to dig a pit and bury it.

Jia Changchao said: "Then you can talk about your method of treating the symptoms." ”

Xu Deshan said: "The so-called water control, there is no other good way, there is no other good way, it is nothing more than the words dredging and blocking." ”

Hearing this, Jia Changchao had quietly put his feet up, but after listening to Xu Deshan's next words, Jia Changchao silently put his feet down.

"The Yellow River, coming from the west, is beyond the power of manpower to stop, let you block it thousands of times, and eventually it will flow to the sea, which is unchangeable, and now that the Yellow River has burst its embankment and diverted its course, what we can do is to let the Yellow River flow with the trend, no matter how it circles, and finally let it flow into the sea, build dikes along the way, and not let him harm the people." Xu Deshan said.

Xu Deshan is also right and wrong, everyone knows this truth, but how to implement it is the most important thing.

Xu Deshan continued: "The problem now is that the water is invisible, the terrain is different, the water potential is huge, and the trend of the water rises differently every year. ”

"The key now is to identify the height of the terrain, connect the low places with the city, and guide the situation to the east." Xu Deshan pointed out the final problem.

This point of view has never been put forward, the previous point of view, is nothing more than three kinds, one is to fill the old channel of the Yellow River, so that the water of the Yellow River along the old channel into the sea, the other way is to introduce the water of the Yellow River into the neighboring rivers, relying on the existing rivers, digest the water of the Yellow River, the third is to let the river water take care of him, after a long time, the waterway will naturally become.

Xu Deshan's point of view is somewhat different from these three, and it seems that this view is no different from the third one, but the previous view is to let the river flow naturally, and it doesn't matter where it is, Xu Deshan's method is to survey the terrain and take the initiative to guide the water of the Yellow River, although they are all to be introduced into the sea, but the difference is not only a matter of time.

Let the river flow naturally, not to mention the disasters caused every year, the fields washed out, the dead and injured people are countless, even if he calms down, due to the different amounts of water every year, it is also necessary to build dikes on both sides of the river bank to prevent flooding, but if you take the initiative to guide, it is a little different, what is the guidance, Xu Deshan's method is to introduce the river water into the low-lying places, open blocked places along the way, and call the river all the way to the east, without obstacles, so that where the Yellow River flows through, it is a natural big river, as long as the embankment is slightly built on both banksNo matter how much water you have, there is no possibility of it flowing anywhere else.

It's just that everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the bigwigs in the court are all extremely smart, where can't they come up with such a once-and-done, foolproof solution, the main reason is that this method has his innate inevitable defects, and there are two points.

The first point is that it costs money, if you think about it, just to build a dam on the bank of the Yellow River, it will cost tens of millions of taels of silver every year, and this project is almost to dig a new big river, such a cost, connivance is the strength of the Song Dynasty, and it cannot be afforded.

And the second point, the most important point, is why do you say that the line you draw on the map must be the lowest-lying place in the land, it has been proven that this place is lower than the side, but it may be higher than other places that seem to be taller, if a huge Yellow River project is dug for half a day, but the result is a section of the river higher than other places, then once the water is released, the result will be catastrophic, no one can bear this responsibility.

Now, Jia Changchao finally understands why Xu Deshan dislikes his official size just now, Xu Deshan's method, let alone himself, even if he is the prime minister, I'm afraid he can't do anything, Jia Changchao sighed, governing the Yellow River, from ancient times to the present, how many outstanding people, have not been able to succeed, in the final analysis, it is still a competition for money and manpower, now a child, how many ways can he have, he pins his hopes on him, it is really a little too illusory.

When Jia Changchao thought of this, he suddenly remembered what Xu Deshan said, there is another way to cure the root cause, Jia Changchao suddenly became interested and asked: "You said before that there is another way to cure the root cause, why don't you also talk about it." ”

Xu Deshan said with a smile: "This is a palliative solution, but it can't be done, and the way to cure the root cause is even more delusional, and if you say it, you can only suffer in vain, don't say it, don't say it." ”

Jia Changchao scolded with a smile: "You kid, I am a dignified appeaser, you are a flat-headed commoner, how dare you disobey my orders, come quickly." ”

Xu Deshan said: "I can't say it, I can't say it." ”

Jia Changchao said: "If you really have a plan, do you just put him in your stomach and watch the people of the world suffer?" ”

Xu Deshan said: "It's not that I don't say it, it's just that the time hasn't come yet." ”

Jia Changchao said: "When is the time come?" ”

Xu Deshan said: "If one day, I can go to the court to worship the prime minister, hold the power of the world, and command the Quartet, then it will be a good opportunity to show my strategy." ”

Jia Changchao glanced at Xu Deshan in surprise, he originally thought that Xu Deshan was just a child, even if he had some adventures and talents, he was just a child, but he didn't expect that this child would already have the ambition of being crowned the king and worshipping the prime minister, and he was ashamed to say that he had always felt that he was good, but in the end he was just a governor, the prime minister was the prime minister, but he had to add a subword in front of him, and then look at Xu Deshan, as soon as he came up, he wanted to order the Quartet, and he had to admit it, At least in terms of ideals, I lost to this child.

Having said this, Jia Changchao didn't have anything to ask Xu Deshan, he came this time, both disappointed and expecting, disappointed that he still hadn't found a way to govern the Yellow River, but what was expected was that Jia Changchao was already looking forward to what kind of students Xu Deshan could teach in his school.

After the main issues were discussed, the expressions of the two people eased, according to the usual practice, the rest of the time is to pull the family and enhance the relationship, officialdom, to put it bluntly, it is still a circle, don't look at the imperial examination system, so that people in the world stand on the same starting line on the road of becoming officials, but you look at those who can really be admitted to the rank of sergeant and become an official, most of them are still children of the family, and there are very few scholars who are really from the Haihan family.

Xu Deshan said that in the future, he will be crowned the king and worship the prime minister, and command the world, this ambition seems a bit outrageous, but if it can be realized, Jia Changchao himself is old, and the official position will end here, and it is okay to shelter one or two generations of descendants, no matter how much, there is really no way, and Xu Deshan is only four years old now, if he can really become the prime minister, the descendants of Jia Changchao may have to rely on Xu Deshan to cover it.

The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is also very interesting, everyone is a scholar, there can be disagreements at work, and you can even quarrel to the death, but in life, everyone is still good friends, Xu Deshan has undoubtedly been recognized by Jia Changchao now, for friends, Jia Changchao is still very amiable, and he began to have a sentence with Xu Deshan without a word.

You think, Jia Changchao is a dignified Hebei Road pacification envoy, in charge of all the big and small things all the way, and there are many things to deal with every day, this time it is already an exception to come out to find Xu Deshan, and now I see that Xu Deshan can't solve the big trouble in his heart, so I want to say a few words and leave, but sometimes chatting is so interesting, Jia Changchao and Xu Deshan are almost forty years old, different ages, different experiences, and different knowledge, but after two sentences, Jia Changchao feels that he is so speculative with Xu Deshan.

As Jia Changchao, Xu Deshan naturally couldn't chat with Wang Quanzao, half-coaxing and half-scareping. The conversation with Jia Changchao is a strategy, every word of Jia Changchao, Xu Deshan strives to bring a little new thought to Jia Changchao from various aspects, and this novel feeling is something that Jia Changchao has never felt, originally only wanted to talk about one or two sentences of family life, but after the two chatted, they unconsciously saw that from family affairs to government affairs, from government affairs to the situation in the world, it was noon in a blink of an eye, and the two of them did not stop.

At this time, Zhou Di, who had been waiting next to him for a long time, couldn't wait, looked at the sky, Zhou Di couldn't help but come over, and said to Jia Changchao: "My lord, if it's not early today, it's time to eat, and after eating, I have to return to the Daimyo's Mansion." ”

Jia Changchao reacted at this time, looked at the sky, took a breath of strength, saluted Xu Deshan, and sighed: "Listen to your words, it is better to read for ten years, the little boy is really extraordinary, he has such a talent to learn, why bother to be in this remote country, the little boy can go back to the Daimyo Mansion with me, first be a staff member under my account, in a year or two, when you are more familiar with official affairs, I recommend you to the court, I dare not say, with my face, to ensure that you are a governor, more than enough." ”

Xu Deshan hadn't spoken yet, Zhou Di next to him had already bared his teeth, looking at this child who had been cut on his neck just now, what kind of ability did he have, could it be that the fox spirit couldn't do it, this less than half a day's effort, he was confused by what the appeasement made the adult say, and suddenly gave a position of Zhizhou, one step to the sky, one step to the sky, that's it, if you give this child a foreign governor, but if you call him a mainland governor, then when you meet, don't you have to call him an adult, this heart is a bit too unbelievable.
