Yang He instructed Minister Yang to stay here, tell his younger brothers and sisters to be well-behaved, and listen to the minister's elder brother. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He got on his horse, took Han Daxia, and Zhang Zhugong and other seven soldiers, and went down the official road to the north.

There are quite a lot of meadows and lakes under the official road, as well as large areas of sand-alkali tidal flats, reeds, and cattails, which are all traces of the Yellow River's breach, and the original fertile fields are buried by quicksand and gravel, and even cover up layer after layer.

Several miles along the Yellow River can be said to be saline-alkali land, because the embankment is very high, the original stagnant water is difficult to drain away, and it becomes a lake swing, dripping with poor drainage, naturally salinization, and some lakes around the lake swing even become grass and grass grass does not grow red land.

The road is not easy to walk, Yang He and others keep detouring, Hu Employment began to scold again, and once encountered himself carrying his palladium, but he kept smiling.

Yang He pays attention to these banks, and in his opinion, if the Yellow River is repaired and the problems of drought and waterlogging are solved, the banks may not be able to become a place of ointment, after all, they rely on the water of the Yellow River, and it is very convenient to use water.

It's just that this is not easy to say, the problem of frequent bursting of the Yellow River is difficult to solve, the coast is mostly swampy and flat, and the difficulty of development is also very high, in addition, the soil along the river is relatively poor, the salinity is too high, and the transformation is very difficult.

After walking for more than a mile, I saw a large area of willow forest, spreading along the river bank, with no end in sight on the east and west sides.

This is for the purpose of harnessing the Yellow River.

In the Ming generation, willow was used for all silicon, and willow branches were inseparable from the governance of the Yellow River.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xuan, the river minister, advocated planting official willows along the river, and then planted more than one million willows along the embankment.

After Tao Harmonic, Liu Tianhe, the general river, summed up the "six methods of planting willows", and finally Pan Jitao further enriched the six methods of planting willows, and planted official willows on both sides of the Yellow River, and the willow garden was everywhere near the river.

Looking at these willow trees, Yang He nodded, this is a sharp weapon against the river, which can effectively protect the river embankment.

However, in his opinion, in addition to the official willow, it is not impossible to encourage the people to plant the folk willow.

Passing through the willow forest, in front of the high embankment, in Wanli, the river minister Pan Ji tamed the double ditch embankment, the fear of the river rises to the Fengshan Lake, the diversion is decided, because the Yangshan embankment is built in preparation.

The remote embankment is used to prevent catastrophic floods, and it is more than one mile away from the main embankment, or even two or three miles, forming the second line of defense of the river embankment.

During the flood season, when the water overflows, a water-bearing lake is formed between the river embankment on the first line, which not only reduces the flow rate, but also stores a large amount of river water in the water-bearing lake, which will not expand its harm.

A mile ahead is the main embankment, and the high embankment is full of willow trees, like a long mountain range.

There seem to be some gaps in the embankment of the Yang River, which should be set aside in advance in the place where the river is turbulent, so that the river water can actively flow into the aquifer lake during the flood season, reduce the pressure and protect the main embankment.

In addition, there is a lattice embankment between the main embankment and the remote embankment, which is like a large square.

This is used to constrain flooding, during the flood season, the water overflows the embankment, the water potential weakens between the remote embankments, and is constrained in the "grid", when the water level falls, the stagnant water can flow back to the river channel along the embankment.

Looking at these magnificent river defense facilities, Yang He couldn't help but admire, the wisdom of the ancestors is indisputable, but it is a pity that the dikes have fallen into disrepair.

Take a look at some of the reed huts and thatched huts below, close to the edge of the ponds.

In fact, in order to protect the main embankment, remote embankment, and lattice embankment, it is strictly forbidden for the people to live in each embankment, but there are always people who ignore the laws and regulations, dig embankments and repair houses, and disregard the safety of their own lives and the lives of others.

But seeing that the reed huts and thatched huts below were abandoned, with traces of fire, it was clear that the flood could not threaten them, but the possible war and robbery made them move away.

Looking at the embankment in front of him, Zhang Chugong was also amazed, every time he looked at these embankments, he felt his insignificance.

Yang He and others went up the embankment along a grid embankment, walked to the top of the slope, and their eyes lit up, and the vast and magnificent Yellow River appeared in front of everyone.

……

In later generations, it was only the waste of the Yellow River, and the Yang River once came, and the width of the river was only more than 100 meters at that time, not even less.

However, the water of the Yellow River in front of us, although winter is coming, and the drought has shrunk a lot, but the width of the river is still at least ten miles.

There is still a lot of water in the center of the river, and some large boats may not be able to go, but small boats can still sail.

Yang He saw several fishing boats floating down the river, which made him feel the smell of some people.

He looked across the river, and there were still large plains on the other side of the river, and some faint mountains, and the scenery was extremely vast.

The Yellow River flows mightily eastward, and seeing the Yellow River always makes people feel like they are in tears.

It's a pity that the once mother river has now become a harmful river.

Yang He looked at the Yellow River in front of him, worthy of the name of the hanging river, the riverbed beach is estimated to be more than ten meters above the ground of the back river, so that once the river breaks, the turbulent river will wash everything.

So how can the Yang River be assured of developing on the south bank of the river?

Before looking at the embankment, there are still some continuous, small embankments shaped like silk wisps, which are dikes.

Pan Jitao advocated the strategy of "building embankments to bind water and attacking sand with water", using dikes to strengthen the trunks, fixing the river troughs, and increasing the scouring power of the water flow, so that the siltation of river sand is greatly reduced, and it can be self-dredging without frequent dredging.

Some of the main embankments also have moon embankments, which are shaped like half moons.

It is also designed to protect the main embankment, using mathematical principles to reduce the impact of flooding.

Pan Jitao served as the fourth chief of the river, gradually from a single embankment to restrain water, to a remote and double embankment, and finally designed a complete set of embankment system composed of remote embankment, embankment, lattice embankment, moon embankment and remote embankment dam, which can be described as a miracle in the history of river defense.

He also has four defenses and two defenses.

Day defense, night defense, wind defense, rain defense, official guard, civil guard.

Unfortunately, now that the finances have collapsed, many effective measures cannot be implemented.

After Pan Ji tamed, the Yellow River was repeatedly decided.

Yang He looked around, there was no one on the embankment, but there seemed to be a shallow shop more than a hundred steps to the east.

"Let's take a look."

Yang He wanted to inquire about the situation in this area, and it was best to ask the locals.

Han Daxia asked if he would go over to the sentry first.

Zhang Chugong also looked at Yang He, the world is chaotic, and it is not too careful.

Yang He shook his head, the shallow husband and the were all armed, in addition to conscription or recruitment, some shallow men were also filled by the military households of the guard.

Moreover, in order to prevent the river, a shallow shop or a fort house is set up on the embankment of the Yellow River every two or three miles, and their circle is very closed, so it is better not to have hostility and risk conflicts.

Yang He also saw that the shallow shop was not empty at this time, and there were a few people probing their brains at the shop, and some people were still holding bows and arrows in their hands.

You may see a few soldiers dressed up here, and they are riding horses, but no one comes forward to ask after hesitation, generally speaking, people are forbidden to walk on the river embankment.

Yang He got off the horse, and Zhang Chuxun hurriedly took it.

Everyone walked over there, Chen Qiuao and Han Daxia walked on Yang He's side left and right, and both of them raised their shields intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Zhugong and the others followed behind, all holding the weapons in their hands, that is, Hu Employment and Zeng Youyu, without a cynical look on their faces, full of vigilance.

Yang He walked first, and saw that more than a dozen people had gathered in front of the archway, all with bows and arrows, knives and other weapons in their hands.

Some people also took the flag and the gong, obviously seeing that the situation is not good, they can wave the flag and sound the gong.

The two sides were approaching with vigilance, and the people over there saw Yang He dressed up, and their expressions relaxed slightly.

Yang He stepped forward, and he smiled and arched his hand: "Yang He, who is a member of Xialuyi, are you a shallow man here?" ”

The guarded expressions of the dozen or so people immediately relaxed, and each of them involuntarily put down the weapons in their hands, and many of them still had a look of awe on their faces.

Looking at the changes in their expressions, not to mention Han Daxia, now Zhang Chugong, Hu Employment and others have proud looks on their faces, their leaders are a scholar, a showman, and horses, and they are respected wherever they go.

Many people on the other side hurriedly became uneasy, and they all looked at the leader of the people.

The man also hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Yang Xianggong, and the villain Kang Youyin was disrespectful." ”

Yang He arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Kang Lao." ”

Na Kang Youyin hurriedly said: "The face is too serious, and the old man doesn't dare to be it." ”

Yang He looked at the people opposite, all of them were small hats, green clothes, gray back armor, green webbing, typical shallow husband dress.

The shallow old man Kang Youyin was about sixty years old, with gray hair, wrinkled face, and a kind appearance, giving people the impression that he was a very kind old man.

After he saw the salute, he even beckoned Yang He to sit down, and instructed a few people in the shallow man, although it was in the local language, Yang He also heard that they were going to catch fish.

All the shallow husbands responded, and immediately some people went to busied, obviously Kang Youyin had a lot of prestige among more than a dozen shallow husbands.

Everyone went in, Yang He kept smiling, talking to the shallow old man, Han Daxia and Zhang Chugong were still a little wary, Zhang Chuxun and Hu Yiyi looked around curiously, Hu Cheng and Zeng Youyu were silent, and squinted at the surroundings from time to time.

Only open out the crack mouth to be happy and catch fish?

Wait until there will be something good to eat.

Everyone enters the shallow shop, this shallow shop is a typical shop along the Yellow River, there is an archway well pavilion, there are three main rooms, two fire rooms, and the shadow wall of the walled gatehouse.

Walking into the shop, there are bamboo, bricks, putty, nail weaving and other materials, as well as many other things.

Kang Youyin introduced, they guard the three-mile embankment, each year needs to do 200 piles, 10,000 bundles of grass, the number of trees is different, the labor is very heavy, the government said that every husband to give 128 yuan of food and silver, but often in arrears, each husband is not enough to make a living, life is very hard.

Fortunately, guarding the water of the Yellow River and a large willow forest, you can barely survive.

Speaking of this, a helpless look appeared on the shallow old man's face.

They have lived here for generations, guarded the Yellow River for generations, and their feelings for this river are beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Speaking of absconding, he definitely doesn't want to, but the older generation has feelings for the river, and the younger generation mostly finds other ways, that is, his two sons Kang Mingming and Kang Minghai, and they don't want to be shallow husbands, one has become a carpenter, and the other has become a bricklayer.

After the opening of the canal, this section of the Yellow River has rarely been dredged, and millions of stone of grain have been diverted, and they have become dikemen.

Those who have a relationship have gone to the canal, and the swankers have already left.

Maybe people are old, Kang Youyin has more feelings, and when he saw Yang He's kindness, he couldn't help but babble a lot.

Yang He listened, and sighed in his heart, this piece of the Yellow River has declined like this empire, especially after the opening of the canal, four million Shicao grain per year was changed to Pizhou, and Xuzhou also declined, and the Luliang Erhong in previous years was famous.

Yang He asked Kang Youyin if there were ships in this shallow shop, and when he heard that Yang He had to transport hundreds of people and a large number of supplies, Kang Youyin shook his head.

He had a boat in this shallow bunk, but it was only two small fishing boats, and it couldn't carry anything at all.

However, he also came up with an idea, their shallow shops, from Fangcun to Shuanggou, are under the jurisdiction of the Lingbi River Master, and there are a few big boats over there, which should be enough to cross the river.

Got the news that there was a boat in Shuanggou, Yang He put his mind at ease, entered the hall, Kang Youyin offered tea, and was busy with a group of shallow men, making all kinds of steamed buns, regular beating, and cooking the famous Yellow River carp soup, and warmly greeting and entertaining guests.

The smell of food is fragrant, the steaming heat fills the air, and although it is a simple meal, this normal food has an incomparably tempting effect on everyone.

Yang He sat and waited to eat, and he sighed in his heart, how long has it been since he had a good meal?

This kind of homely meal is better than the delicacies of the mountains and the sea for him at this time.

Zhang Zhugong and a few people accompanied Yang He in the hall, but Han Daxia waited outside the shop, while looking at the official road.

From the embankment, the situation on the official road is vivid.

Suddenly, his face changed, and he hurried in.

"Xianggong, there is a group of chariots and horses coming from the west, seven or eight vehicles, and more than thirty riders."

Yang He got up violently, took out an ingot of silver and put it down, about ten taels.

He arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your troubles." ”

As soon as the nine of them rushed out of the shallow bunk, Yang He got on the horses and hurried away.

Kang Youyin chased him out, he held the silver in his hand, and said in a daze: "The meals are ready." ”

All the shallow men looked at the official road, and Kang Youyin sighed: "Such a kind talent, it's better not to have anything happen." ”
