The three long canals dug by Changle Hou Yuanzhao to alleviate the flood pressure in the upper reaches of the Wei River were later named Wei Canal, Lingze Canal and Liguo Canal by the emperor himself. Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Shi was ceremoniously rewarded by the emperor because of his great contribution to presiding over the repair of the canal, recalled to Chang'an, served in Shaofu, and was promoted to one of the important ministers of Jiuqing.

This is a sign that since then, all county officials in the world have put water conservancy construction in the first place. In the famous "Water Conservancy and Sparseness" that circulated around the world not long after, several important points put forward by Yuan Zhao were taken seriously by most of the ruling officials.

"Use water to benefit agriculture, open canals to balance drought and flood, connect rivers with canals, and ...... vertical and horizontal transportation."

Ten years later, all the rivers and lakes in the territory of the Han Dynasty were completely transformed, and there were no major disasters, agricultural drought and flood harvest, and water transportation spread throughout most of the empire. At that time, when I looked back at these sentences in "Water Conservancy and Sparseness", Changle Hou planned for the public world, and everyone admired or admired it in their hearts!

Of course, no one has yet been able to see the vastness of the horizon in advance. There is still a long way to go, and the contest has just begun.

To govern the Yellow River, the reason why everyone thought that Yuan Zhao's method was to open the river with his mouth was that no one believed it. Because even the layman knows how much it costs to dig a new channel.

Manpower, material resources, the cooperation of local counties and counties, and a large amount of financial support from the imperial court...... And so on, all aspects taken together, it is simply a huge project. Such a difficult thing, to put it mildly in Yuan Zhao's mouth, will of course cause everyone's dissatisfaction.

But the change in attitude is only a quarter of an hour. Yuan Zhao said it so clearly, between the pros and cons, anyone knows how to choose!

Manpower difficulties? Solved! Hundreds of thousands of displaced people. Rather than waiting for the government to distribute that pitiful relief food, which is easy to breed trouble, of course, it is better to make good use of their strength, once people have something to do and hope for life, they will not take risks to cause chaos.

This measure is indeed a good policy, and even Gongsun Hong, the imperial historian who has always been secretly jealous of Yuan Zhao, can't help but admire.

Having a hard time? Solved! In Hanzhong Taishou's agitated telling, no one doubted this anymore. What's more, the emperor was itchy for a while, so Zhang Shitong opened his eyes by giving a live demonstration of the cement he brought to Chang'an! Just outside the Hanyuan Palace, by the Jinshui River, the old lady rolled up her sleeves and laid out three feet herself. But after half an hour, the sticky cement was as hard as masonry! The monarch and the ministers were dumbfounded, and some people began to look like earth.

With all the manpower and material resources, just a little coordination and organization efforts, you can solve this long-awaited big problem, try to ask which local county along the river does not want to take this opportunity to do it once and for all?

Emperor Liu Che's heart was as bright as if he had eaten a heart-piercing pill! Yuan Qing, really capable minister! When he heard Yuan Zhao say that after the Yellow River was diverted, a large number of fertile fields could be formed in the vast area around the original river, which was a great benefit, he took the case and praised it!

If we don't hurry up and do nothing good in this kind of good governance, what are we waiting for?

The emperor has expressed his position in person, that is the greatest recognition of Shangshu Ling Yuanzhao! A group of young people in Shangshutai wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, then looked at each other and smiled, and when they turned their heads to look at Prime Minister Tian Jue, Tingwei Zhang Tang, and the courtiers who had made a bet with Yuan Zhao, the expressions on their faces were all wonderful.

"Your Majesty! In this way, Your Majesty just thinks that the strategy offered by Wei Chen is feasible? ”

"Goodness, great goodness! Doable, absolutely doable! I have my full support! Hahaha. ”

"But, Your Majesty

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Ah, some people laughed at Weichen before...... ”

"Yuanqing, don't take this matter to heart, it's because everyone doesn't understand your ability, it's understandable! Now that the facts are in front of them, who would doubt it? Zhongqing, do you say yes or no? ”

The emperor's face was full of spring breeze, and half of the ministers echoed loudly, gloating. Half gritted their teeth and was scared. The relatives are dear, and the enemies are painful!

"But Your Majesty, so many ministers want to take the opportunity to drive Weichen out of the court......!" Yuan Zhao relentlessly told his grievances.

"Yuan Qing rest assured! Such a capable minister who can solve my worries and solve difficulties, my trust is as solid as a rock, who can shake it! Hum! ”

"But Your Majesty, they ...... also made a gambling contract with Weichen...... ”

"Gamble? Forehead...... Right! You win, I judge you to win! What else? Played together, the procrastination made my head bigger! ”

"Your Majesty! Weichen Yuan summoned the order, and then went to take back what he had won, and there was nothing else. Hehe! ”

The monarch and the minister asked and answered, relaxed and comfortable, and the parents were short, as if they were chatting in private. However, the following "Goo Dong, Goo Dong" has already passed out several times in a row!

"Your Majesty! Minister...... This matter is not the minister's intention! Please be merciful, those family property, those family property are the net worth and life of the minister...... Your Majesty......! ”

"Your Majesty's mercy! Just forgive me this time......! ”

Seventeen or eighteen middle-level officials, who really couldn't bear those properties, fell to the ground in a mess, kowtowed and pleaded, although the rest were not like this, but they were also with relatives on their faces, and they wanted to cut their own flesh, who would be willing to do it!

"This is Hanyuan Palace! Is it a joke? Why, now you are not afraid of committing the great crime of deceiving the king? Hum! Besides, it's useless to ask me about it. If you are willing to gamble and lose, it is only natural that Yuanqing is your creditor. ”

The emperor's voice was cold, and from spring to winter, he changed his face faster than he turned a book.

When all kinds of complicated eyes fell on Yuan Zhao, his smile was still bright, and at this time, he looked like a child of this age.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured that you will not take a single baht of these assets, and all of them will be used to control the Yellow River. Even if it's a donation from you to the people! In the future, on the banks of the new river, there will be a stone tablet engraved with the names of all of you for posterity to admire and praise. Hehe! ”

Having said that, who can cry and complain about grievances anymore? Although everyone's heart is dripping blood, they can only harbor resentment, secretly grit their teeth, and talk about suffering.

Tian Jue looked at Yuan Zhao, his eyes were blood-red, the old hatred had not gone, and the new hatred was born again! However, today is destined to be his disaster day, because what makes him spurt blood is still to come!

Yuan Zhao started again, because the water situation of the Yellow River has reached the most serious point, in order to prevent the disaster of a complete embankment burst, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to order to take the initiative to open the embankment in a suitable area to discharge the flood, suspend the flood situation, and gain time for the excavation of a new channel of the Yellow River.

The emperor is now in a state of full excitement, eager to solve the scourge of the Yellow River once and for all, and naturally has no objection to Yuan Zhao's request.

"Yuanqing, but I don't know where the flood discharge is appropriate, can there be a pre-zoning?"

On the way here, Yuan Zhao had already briefly understood the current situation of the Yellow River and was confident. Both sides of the Yellow River are high in the north and low in the south, and those few steep river sections naturally cannot be discharged to the south, otherwise, it will be out of control after a thousand miles. The safest way is to break the embankment on the north bank, which will cost you the least amount of land, although it will cost you some land.

However, after he finished speaking, the atmosphere was a little weird, and the hall was instantly quiet

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Strange. Yuan Zhao didn't care, what he planned was the most reasonable way, and he wouldn't care so much about the rest.

Dou Ying's face was a little dark, he glanced at Yuan Zhao deeply, and had a very bad premonition, this kid was going to poke the big basket! Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing parents! What's more, what he is about to cut off is not ordinary people's financial routes.

Dou Ying used to be a Zaifu and had been in charge of the dynasty for many years, so of course he knew who belonged to the tens of thousands of hectares of fields on the north bank of the Great River where Yuan Zhao planned to discharge the flood, or what his surname was. Not only did he know it, but most of the courtiers also knew it.

In the past few years, the reason why the Yellow River embankment has been repeatedly repaired and reinforced, but it still cannot stop the flooding in the rainy season, is because there are some forbidden areas that no one dares to touch! The north bank of the Yellow River embankment is always a few feet higher than the south bank!

The south bank of the south bank is low-lying, and it is the land of the people of the county. And on the north shore, the nobles' fiefdoms are also! Among them, the largest piece of land is surnamed Tian, and it is the tenant field of Wu Anhou, the prime minister of the dynasty. Tian Jue's fiefdom is located along the north of the Yellow River, with thousands of hectares of fertile land and extremely rich income. The terrain of the Yellow River is high in the north and low in the south, and if it breaks from the south, the flood flows eastward and the southeast suffers, while the north of the great river benefits and the income of the fiefdom increases. With Tian Jue's power, plus the queen mother behind him...... The water is so deep, who dares to say more? This is the crux of the problem that the courtiers did not dare to break through knowing that the flood was difficult to cure.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done! Don't believe the words of this guy's family! Tian Jue's face was gray, his forehead was bruised, and he couldn't care about maintaining the demeanor of a prime minister at this time, and his hatred for Yuan Zhao made him finally reveal his true colors in the market.

"Yuanzhao Xiaoer! Do you really think that by virtue of the Holy Grace you can do whatever you want? You're waiting...... The old man and you are incompatible! ”

Yuan Zhao was a little confused, Tian Jue was suddenly crazy? Oh, is it because you have lost so much money to yourself again, and you are overstimulated?

The emperor was also a little confused, he shook the wide sleeves of the dragon robe, looked at the officials below with blank faces, and didn't see anything abnormal.

"Well, Prime Minister, what Yuan Qing said is a good policy, and everything he thinks about is also for the sake of the overall situation. Why are you so excited?"

Tian Jue heard him protect Yuan Zhao like this, and his heart was furious, and he stalked his neck, and his nephew didn't care about the emperor's face.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to ask the minister about this, and I won't say more. Your Majesty will know the reason sooner or later! ”

The emperor was choked by him enough, and he was just about to get angry, but after thinking about it, he suppressed his anger again, and seeing Tian Jue with a cold face and closed his eyes and was silent, he turned to ask the ministers.

"Who knows what's going on? Why don't you speak! Didn't Yuan Qing's water control strategy be supported? ”

There was silence, no one answered. Dou Ying sighed, Yuan boy, the matter has come to this, the old man will fight for this net worth, help you for a while.

"Your Majesty, don't you understand? Changle Hou is dedicated to the public, and inadvertently moved the confinement of others! ”

When the emperor saw that it was Dou Ying who was speaking, his heart moved, as if he had an understanding, and nodded his head to signal him to continue.

"Changle Hou's planning is naturally a great plan for the country and the people. And some people only care about their own selfish interests, regardless of life or death. What kind of face do you have to stand in the court and accuse it! Hum! ”

Tian Ying saw that Dou Ying came forward to support Yuan Zhao, and he was still a little jealous of him after all. Secretly scolding a nosy old thief! The two looked at each other angrily for a moment, and Tian Jue smiled.

"Since Your Majesty believes so much in this wild boy who doesn't know where to come, then I have nothing to say, the old minister is sick and unable to support, so he retires! Hum! ”

After speaking, he bowed down, got up and didn't look back, but walked away.
