In the open space in front of the secondary hall of Shengping Building, two huge models have been built by the gentlemen with wood and sand in the past few days.

"Wenjue, do you know what the end of the crime of bullying the king is?" Seeing Zhao Lao Er and the generals looking at this huge model, I don't know why, General Wang couldn't help but say proudly.

"Don't be impatient, General Wang, even if you want to kill me, then you have to wait for me to explain clearly, and it's not too late to fall into the well!" Wen Qihang said lightly.

"........" saw that General Wang's face was flushed at this moment, and his whole body trembled. The generals couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. That's why they're reluctant to deal with Wen Qihang. Be an official! Isn't it that you step on my foot, and I step on your foot to climb up each other, so as to achieve the goal of common wealth.

It's good now, when I smell Qihang, this officialdom novice, I flip the table at every turn, revealing people's old bottoms, and I don't know how Zhao Lao Er endured it.

In the face of the unknown, there is always a need for someone to come out and be a fool and stand ahead. If the emperor was to be asked in person, wouldn't it seem that the emperor had become a fool who knew nothing.

"Ahem, I have heard what Qing said, I believe that General Wang has no such intention. It's just that Wen Qing's intentions are not clear, Wen Qing might as well explain it himself. Seeing that his horse boy was humiliated, Zhao Lao Er had no choice but to cough lightly and speak out to relieve him.

As the saying goes: Seeing is believing, hearing is false. Even if Weichen spits lotus flowers in his mouth, it is better to demonstrate it again. Wen Qihang bowed lightly and said, "Please allow Your Majesty." ”

"Exactly." Zhao Lao Er said generously.

With the permission of Zhao Laoer, Wen Qihang waved his hand and motioned for a few gentlemen to start filling the model with water. Carrying a large wooden bucket filled with water, the two men walked to the top of the model and began to sprinkle it with a shower.

The dry sand soil in the model is first moistened with water, and when the water in the sand is saturated, it gradually begins to merge into a trickle along a ravine in the model.

It's just that because of the sand and soil, the clear water at this time has turned into a muddy soup.

"Wenjue, could it be that this child's plaything is your advice to Your Majesty?" Although he was deflated just now, he was still confused when he saw that everyone had watched for most of the day, and General Wang still couldn't bear to sneer at each other.

"The shape of this ravine, the official seems to be very familiar........ Cao Bin stroked the beard under his chin and looked at the zigzag gully in the model and thought: "By the way, the official has seen it in the Kanyu map of the former Tang Dynasty, if this gully is enlarged, this should be the appearance of the Yellow River." ”

"General Cao's discernment, Ben Jue admires." Wen Qihang couldn't help but smile and bowed to Cao Bin. The first general in the early Song Dynasty was really not covered. It's just that this kind of associative thinking is already rare among the ancients.

"Wen Jue praised, it's just that the water of the Yellow River is still clear, and the generals don't notice it for a while." Cao Bin said modestly.

"General Cao is humble, I wonder if any of the generals understand river engineering?" Smell the fairway.

"Speaking of this river fortification, as long as you are an official of the imperial court, I am afraid you will know a little bit about it." Zhao Lao Er laughed.

"What Your Majesty said is good, and Wen Jue's intention is nothing more than to tell me and others, once the Yellow River flows and silts up, I am afraid it will cause a big disaster." Seeing that Cao Bin had already shown his hand, Shi Shouxin also continued.

"........" these bastards, since they know everything, how did they make the Yellow River burst its banks up to six times!

"Controlling river disasters is nothing more than building embankments, dredging, and diversion." Shi Shouxin sighed lightly and said: "After all, when the manpower is poor, there is no other way than to accept. ”

"........" This is simply bastard logic! Man's will to conquer heaven has gone there! In another ten years, Mother River will start staging Jedi chicken. According to the current situation, historical events always seem to be in advance, and it may not take ten years for Guanlou Village to become a country. Maybe when I wake up that day, I will become a floating corpse.

"General Shi's opinion, please forgive Benjue for not agreeing. In my opinion, all disasters should be based on prevention, supplemented by rescue. For example, the problem of flooding in the Yellow River may seem very distant to you, but once the Yellow River bursts, it will be a catastrophe. For the sake of the safety of our children and grandchildren, we must start now, lest they point to our graves and curse our mothers in the future. ”

"What Wen Jue said was light. But this is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, how to prevent it? Could it be that Wen Jue thinks that he is even more powerful than the sky? General Wang pouted.

"........" is 10,000 times more powerful than God. But in ancient times, who dared to say that they could be better than God. Even the emperor can only claim to be the Son of Heaven, and he is only worthy of being a son of God. This damn General Wang really doesn't forget to dig pits everywhere, once he admits that he is better than God, then he won't become Zhao Laoer's grandfather.

"General Wang has said that people still have to have a sense of awe. The heavens are above, how can we ordinary people blaspheme? Wen Qihang's mouth turned up slightly: "However, we don't need to win against the sky, we just need to win against the grass." ”

"Wen Jue means that a small grass can treat the flood that even the saints are helpless about?" General Wang pouted.

"Try it and you'll find out." Wen Qihang smiled and said, "Please allow Your Majesty." ”

"Accurate!" Zhao Lao Er said accurately.

On another identical model, several gentlemen began to lay turf for the sand, and when the green turf was laid, they continued to sprinkle it in the same way.

"........ "As long as anyone who understands river workers knows that sediment is the enemy of the river, seeing and hearing that the sail is just for the model to add a little green grass, the water flow becomes extremely clear, and the expression suddenly becomes amazed.

"How can the effect be so obvious?" Zhao Lao Er wondered.

"Cottages with mud ponds and rivers often like to plant willow and other trees by the pond and riverbank. Although many people don't understand the reason, they think it's just because of the artistic conception. In fact, our ancestors have long known from practice that planting trees on the shore of the water can play a role in strengthening the soil.

Although they only rely on an intuition, they still develop such a habit with the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. As long as we don't destroy vegetation, cut down trees indiscriminately, and avoid many floods from now on, we can avoid them.

In the article "Mencius-Confession", the first saint Mencius once recorded the allusion of Niu Shan Mao. Yin Jian is in front, for the safety of the people in the world, please Your Majesty Mingjian! ”

The allusion of Niu Shan Miao, as long as you have read the book of sages will understand, that is, the first typical case of man-made destruction of the environment since human records began.

"But after all, the people want to live, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to draft, and it is inevitable to exchange wages for money, which is really unstoppable." Zhao Lao Er shook his head lightly and said. It's just that the firewood needed in Kaifeng City for a year is hundreds of thousands of catties, if there is no firewood, it is still a trivial matter to not be able to eat hot meals, just like this winter, it will definitely freeze to death.

"The heat produced by burning wood is far less than that of coal, and now that there are stoves, as long as the amount of coal and stone is extracted, the cutting down of trees can be greatly reduced."

"It's okay, it's just that this matter still needs to be carefully discussed with your ministers in the court, and it can't be decided in a few words now." Zhao Lao Er thought about it.

"Your Majesty is very true, and now we want to know why Wenjue gave us pork, not mutton." General Wang said.

"Hey, the words have already come to this, why don't you understand, General Wang! You can see that the generals and Your Majesty understand this very well. How do you let me say hello! Wen Qihang said in a tone of hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"........" The generals couldn't help but slander in their hearts, what do we understand! You get the idea! Obviously, before coming, I wanted to discuss the issue of eating pork or mutton, but I was frozen outside this hall for most of the day, and I didn't mention a word, but I discussed the problem of river work.

"Wenjue doesn't have to sell Guanzi, even if the official is stupid, he wants you an answer."

Wen Qihang said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll tell you, because sheep eat grass, while pigs eat." ”

“........”

Although Wen Qihang's words are very clear, no matter how you listen to it, it seems to be scolding! Indeed, as long as everyone stops eating mutton, there will be many fewer sheep keepers, and the vegetation will be preserved. Naturally, water and soil will not be lost.
