Chapter 339: The Yellow River is a Hundred Evils
The vermilion monkey lowered his head to drink tea and did not immediately say anything. They had actually discussed the matter of Lin Ji meeting the heir to the throne in private. He wasn't surprised. Once a family is established, everyone will think about their offspring. What will the kingdom be like in the future, Zhu Monkey and others naturally have to think about it.
Zhu Monkey was just a little dissatisfied with Lin Ping'an's child. In his heart, he prefers the studious and calm Lin Youzhou.
Izuka said excitedly: "This is a good thing." Ping'an, this child can be regarded as something we have grown up with, and it is time to take on some things. Start letting him do things now, and in a dozen or twenty years, he may be better than us. Do you say, Prime Minister? ”
The reason for Izuxia's excitement is that Lin Ping'an is Hu Yi'er's child. They don't know how long they've been looking forward to this day. Although Lin Ji has not yet made up his mind to establish Lin Ping'an as the successor, he has finally started the first step, and this matter is considered to be a spectrum. As long as this thing starts, it means that Lin Ji is still following the practice of passing on the throne, which means that Lin Ji does not want to pass on the throne to the children who pick the mushrooms, which is naturally worth exciting.
She naturally saw Zhu Hou's dissatisfaction. So she pointed out that Lin Ping'an's inheritance would be at least one or twenty years later, and when the time came, Zhu Monkey would definitely no longer be in place, so let him worry less.
Zhu Monkey thought about it slightly, and then said: "It's not necessarily bad to let the children do something together. ”
He is talking about children doing things together, which means that his children will follow Lin Ping'an to do things in advance. This can make his child familiar with Lin Ping'an's temperament in advance. It's kind of a little compensation.
In this regard, the forest trail is naturally the default. Lin Ping'an doesn't make people worry, so he naturally has to pay something in advance.
Zhu Monkey opened his mouth, and others also expressed their positions. Many school-age children also agreed with Zhu Hou's statement, and for a while agreed that the argument of letting Lin Ping'an do things was quite unified, and the atmosphere seemed extremely harmonious.
At the end, Yuan smiled and said, "There are many mountains and forests in the south, and there are many tribes, and we are planning to build a road to the south." The end point is Guilin. Ping An is now in Guilin, let him do something in the matter of building roads, what do you think? ”
The kingdom is now expanding southward. However, because there are too many mountains and forests in the south, the terrain is complex, and there are many snakes and insects, and the smoke miasma is terrifying, the speed of expansion to the south has not been fast.
If the expedition hadn't discovered the "holy land" of Guilin, I am afraid that there would not even be a large caravan going deep into the south.
Even so, there is only one town established in China in the Guilin area, surrounded by savage-like tribes. There is only one path trodden by cattle on both sides of the traffic.
If this road is opened, it will greatly increase the influence of China in the south and accelerate the speed of China's expansion in the south.
Of course, the construction of this road will also be dangerous.
Some people think that what Yuan Xiao said is inappropriate, and they want to oppose it, but Lin Ji has already agreed: "Just do it, he likes to run around, just let him hang out for a few years." I'll leave it up to you to arrange for him. He just started to do things, just start from the grassroots level and arrange for him. ”
Lin Ji was finalized, and everyone couldn't refute more. Only Yuanxiao lowered his head to drink tea, and a pair of old eyes narrowed with a smile.
The prince is in the south, and this road will inevitably have a lot of resources to cut and slanted, and it is not impossible to make it into a concrete road. Once this road is built, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have a bigger world.
He has wasted so many years on the grassland, and now that he is back, he naturally wants to do more to earn some credit.
After deciding on this, the crowd talked about other things.
"In the past few years, the Yellow River has been flooded every year, and many villages in Maozhou have been relocated one after another, so that the population there has not only increased, but also decreased. I'm gone, but I still can't sleep when I think about it. Sometimes when the leader of Bayang hears the news, he will also ask about it. ”
Seeing that Yuanxiao asked for benefits, Izuka also wanted some benefits. The flooding of the Yellow River is a fact, and it is really getting worse. She has been operating in Maozhou for more than ten years, and she also has feelings for it, so she naturally wants to build that place better.
She moved out of Bayang to increase the weight of her words. Of course, this is also true. In the time of the Mao tribe, the Yellow River was known as the bad water, and there were few residents along the river. Bayang himself has the ideal of water control.
The Yellow River is harmful, and this principle is understood. This is due to the geological conditions of the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. In recent years, with the development of land by the upstream wolf people and the increase in runoff caused by the warmer weather, the flooding has naturally become more and more serious.
At this time, the Yellow River was not the kind of above-ground river in later generations, and if it was flooded, it might become an ocean within 100 miles of both banks downstream.
Lin Ji put down the cup and asked seriously about the flooding of the Yellow River in recent years. In the end, he asked people to bring in the hydrological data of the Yangtze River in the past few years, and called some personnel to record weather information.
This work began more than a decade ago, so the documentation is quite complete.
The tea party quickly turned into a seminar. After looking through a lot of information, they found a lot of data and put it together.
It is found that the ice age of the Yangtze River has been decreasing in recent years, although it is not obvious from year to year, but if you compare it every few years, you will find problems.
Moreover, using the same method to compare, it can also be found that the water level and water volume of the Yangtze River have risen to a certain extent.
Combined with the change in the average annual temperature outside the city, the conclusion that the glacier is melting is quickly concluded.
Immediately, a number of engineering researchers and water conservancy experts were summoned to be questioned about the forest traces.
Izuka saw that the scale of the meeting was getting bigger and bigger, and she was a little overwhelmed. Her original purpose was just to get tax interception or other resource tilts. In the current state of affairs, it seems that this is about to become a big project?
Everyone's dinner was a light meal in the conference room.
After dinner, a lot of data was gathered around Lin Ji.
After reading it, Lin Ji said: "I originally thought that I could wait for a few years, but now it seems that it is best not to wait." The sooner this is done, the better. ”
Izuxia forced down the speculation in her heart and asked cautiously, "Do we have to find a way to face the flooding of the Yellow River?" ”
"Yes. In fact, the solution is readily available. Lin Ji said quite lightly.
"What's the solution?"
"Water control."
"Can you be more detailed?"
"It is to build two ditch-like banks of the Yellow River. Circle it. Let it stop flooding. Lin Ji tried to make his words as clear as possible.
"Ahh
Others may not know the vastness of the Yellow River, but she does. Such a big rushing river, to enclose it, it has to be a lot of engineering? It's worth building a hundred Chaolin Cities, right? Where is this a big project in the general sense, this is a national project. And she is sure that it may not be possible to complete it in three or five years, or even twelve or ten years.
"Is this necessary?" After exclaiming, Izuka hurriedly asked.
It's a big project. With the current scale of less than 1.5 million people in China, building a big city like 100 Chaolin is not only useless, but also wasteful. The same is true for the Yellow River's water control project.
At present, the population of China is limited, and there is still a large amount of land to live away from the Yellow River, so it is necessary to live in the flooded areas. Where is the need to mobilize the whole country to control the water now?
Because of China's policy of stimulating childbirth, the proportion of children in the current population is too high. Once there is a costly project, these children may go hungry.
"It's necessary." Lin Ji explained: "Now that the water volume and water level of the Yellow River are at this level, dredging the river should be the most trouble-free. If the amount of water it has increased a little more, its flood area will be even larger. At this time, the Yellow River was no longer suitable for habitation. Have you ever wondered what it would look like when it was at its worst? ”
"It could flood all areas downstream of Maozhou City, and it might even be diverted from the Huai River into the sea."
The disasters caused by the Yellow River to China are numerous. However, because of the existence of the Yellow River, the fertile land on both sides of the river feeds countless people. With the increase in population, sooner or later, the banks of the Yellow River will become important places of residence in China.
In the future, it is better to start controlling the water and reduce the flooding of the Yellow River to the lowest possible extent by waiting for the Yellow River to bring disaster to its children and grandchildren in the future.
Lin Ji casually said a few scenes after the flooding of the Yellow River, which made Chu Xia and the others dispel the idea of dissuading Lin Ji, and became extremely agreeable with this plan.
After obtaining everyone's unanimous agreement, Lin Ji said: "This matter is huge, so we really have to think about it in the long run." We can start now, spend a year or two mapping the Yellow River, collect relevant data, and then set up an expert group to develop a plan for water control. Later, according to our actual situation, it will take 10 or even 20 years to do a good job in this project. If our national strength is limited, it is acceptable to spend thirty or fifty years. I hope that once this project is completed, there will be no major floods in the Yellow River within 100 years, and it will even benefit future generations for thousands of years. ”
In later generations, when the Yellow River was governed on a large scale, the national strength was relatively strong, and the population was generally more than 10 million.
With the current population of more than one million people in China to carry out such a large project, the strength is indeed a little weaker, and if one is not good, it may really exhaust the national strength.
However, he felt that he also had advantages that many later dynasties did not have. Not to mention that he was able to find a lot of experience in water control, he spent 20 years training a large number of scientific and technological talents, and the country's industry also had a considerable foundation.
These were conditions that later dynasties did not have. Now, too, it's time to put the results of these things to the test.
The matter was decided, and the project team agreed on it. In the whole process, only the stone beak was quite melancholy, and judging from the investment in the project to control the Yellow River, it became impossible for the kingdom's army to increase with the population growth again. His plans to conquer the world seem to have to be postponed.
And he still has to guard against Xijon in the west, and the pressure is great. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Take the Town Back to the Prehistoric Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
