Fan Zhen was dragged to the palace, the old minister didn't like the feeling of being forced, he was already old and didn't have too many pursuits.

He is a person who has seen the Milky Way, and he is content to be the prime minister who has been sitting for five years in this troubled era.

"Champion Hou, the old man wants to support the elderly, can't he make fun of his grandson?"

The old man's tone was flat, but everyone could feel the grievances and resentment in it.

Ye Hua's face was as usual, he stared at his toes on the carriage, his eyes were straight, and he was indifferent to the bones.

"Fan Xianggong, do you know the five surnames and seven sects?"

Fan Zhen paused for a moment, and suddenly sank his old face, "Champion Hou, if you think the old man has anything to do with those people, just arrest the old man and bring it to justice!" No beating around the bush! ”

"Hahaha!"

Ye Hua laughed and sneered, "Fan Xianggong, you won't have any substantive dealings with those people, after all, the former prime minister is really shameless when he gets involved with a bunch of impostors!" But what they're doing, you know! Ye Hua's tone became extremely stiff and cold, and Fan's old face was not good-looking.

"Not only do you know, but you also know a lot of things that outsiders don't know, and you can even talk to them!"

Fan Zhen swallowed and spit, his words were desolate, "Champion Hou, if you want to weave into the crime, the old man can only accept it calmly!" ”

"No!"

Ye Hua said decisively: "I asked the old minister to come over, just to let you pass a word in the middle...... I don't believe that the scholars in the world are all confused, some people are under the banner of reviving the family, and they are the ones who should be damned, if they hurt the innocent and damage the vitality of the Great Zhou, it will not be good! ”

When Fan Zhen heard this, he suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Champion Hou, do you still care about Sven's vitality?"

Ye Hua shrugged, "How could I not care, don't forget, I'm a disciple of Taishi Feng!" ”

Fan Zhen was so choked that he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh to the sky, "It seems that Master Feng really did a great thing for the sake of the scholars!" ”

……

"Your Majesty, according to the inquiry, Fu Zhaoyuan and Fu Zhaoshou do have grievances, and the so-called Fu family's manor is no longer owned by them." Ye Hua bowed and said.

Chai Rong's face was ugly, "It's not theirs, why is there a rumor that it's the Fu family?" Who is spreading rumors in the middle and framing important ministers? So unscrupulous, when I am an ornament? ”

The Son of Heaven was angry and framed his own people, he was so bold that he clearly didn't look at him as an emperor!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the current priority is not the Fu family's business, they are a little wronged, it is nothing!"

"Humph! The Fu family is an important minister in the court, they are not important, who is important? ”

Ye Hua raised his head and said to Chai Rong: "All the people! ”

"Ye Qing, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is imperative to look along the Yellow River and find out what is happening on the embankment! This time, the embankment was dug and the flood was discharged, flooding a county and a half, if there is a dangerous situation next time, will more people be affected? ”

When Chai Rong heard it, it was really more important.

He immediately got up, "Ye Qing, you and Fan Xianggong, accompany me to the Yellow River embankment to have a look, and leave now!" ”

The three of them, with a thousand guards, rode horses and left Yecheng, ran for most of the day, and rushed to the Yellow River embankment north of Huazhou.

The surging Yellow River, like a giant dragon lying on the ground, lies in front of you and is very conspicuous.

Ye Hua once went to the river embankment in the Huayuankou area, in contrast, in this section of Huazhou, the hanging river is more obvious, the embankment is high on the earth, and the sediment of the river hangs on everyone's heads, and there is a possibility that the embankment will be destroyed and people will die at any time!

This pressure is real, and it makes people feel bored.

Chai Rong simply got off his war horse and walked on the muddy ground, his boots embroidered with dragon patterns soon stained with sticky yellow mud.

Ye Hua and Fan Zhen are also like this, the three monarchs and ministers walked on the embankment step by step.

Looking down, there is not much water in the river, and after the autumn flood, the Yellow River has returned to calm, and only a little water flow remains, passing slowly, very well-behaved.

It won't be long before the cold weather freezes the surface of the river, forming a spectacular scene of thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, and the big river up and down.

Standing on the north bank of the river and looking south, they could clearly see that many ant-like people were busy. On the south bank, there are several gaps, which were excavated by Zhao Pu's order.

The people need to plug the river embankment as soon as possible, and it must be completed before the river freezes, otherwise the construction will not be possible in winter, and when the spring of next year begins, there will be floods, and no one can stand the bad luck of being flooded twice in a year.

There is no need for the government to recruit, the people on the south bank of the river took the initiative to act, the court sent a lot of cement, and the people were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, at least next year's river embankment should be safe and sound!

Standing on the river embankment, Chai Rong easily understood Zhao Pu's thoughts.

He dug the south bank of the river and flooded a lot of people, completely out of desperation.

Because if you don't dig the south bank, you have to dig the north bank, and on the north bank, there are not only the estates of those big families, but also the Yongji Canal!

The Yongji Canal was painstakingly built by the Great Zhou Dynasty, communicating the main transportation artery in the north, and made great contributions in the battle of recovering Yanyun.

This attack on the Northern Han Dynasty and the pacification of Hedong also relied on the transfer function of the Yongji Canal.

If the river is allowed to flow northward, flooding the Yongji Canal, or causing the river to silt up and make it impossible for ships to pass, then it will affect the war ahead.

Zhao Pu chose the south bank of the river to excavate and discharge the flood, which is really reasonable, not only not guilty, but also meritorious!

After Chai Rong saw it, he didn't speak with a straight face, he turned his head sharply, glanced at the north shore, and condescended...... Tian Lianqian Mo, the house is like that.

Neat farmland estates, one after the other, fertile land, a well-developed irrigation system, diverting water from the Yellow River and the Yongji Canal to irrigate the land.

For the same piece of land, with irrigation and without irrigation, the yield will vary by at least more than 50%.

Don't think that Chai Rong is a son of heaven who does not eat fireworks in the world.

In his early years, he was engaged in business in the north and south, not to mention the trafficking of tea, he also knew some river engineering and water conservancy. Once led the troops, encountered the destruction of the river, Chai Rong didn't say a word, after checking, he took out a drawing, and the people below followed the construction, and the river transportation was resumed.

So Chai Rong is not a layman!

He descended from the embankment, flew on his horse, and inspected several villages in succession.

waited until it was dark to restrain the warhorse. Chai Rong suddenly found that there was no village in front of him and no store in the back. It's a complete wilderness, a desolate place.

"Let's camp here for the night!"

His guards immediately went to camp and prepare dinner.

Ye Hua and Fan Zhen accompanied Chai Rong and sat by the bonfire.

Ye Hua was holding a bamboo skewer with tender mutton on it. His cooking skills were not bad, and the heat was well mastered, and in a short time it was browned, and the grease was dripping, falling into the campfire, and small clouds of black smoke jumped.

Chai Rong had no appetite at all, so he simply didn't move, just sulking, with a black mouth and a black face, and he didn't get close to anyone. Fan Zhen didn't dare to move, so he could only stare at Ye Hua barbecue.

"Your Majesty, no matter how big the matter is, you have to eat your stomach first."

Chai Rong snorted, snatched Ye Hua's roasted meat, and said in a muffled voice: "I will send you ten sheep when I go back!" ”

Ye Hua is helpless!

He can't put Chai Rong on the fire and roast it!

There was no way, Ye Hua could only re-roast it, and finally the meat was almost cooked, but he found that Fan Zhen was staring!

God is pitiful, the gentleman of Fan Xianggong is far away from cooking, and he will not help the oil bottle in this life, and he will never be able to do it himself and have enough food and clothing.

There is no way, in front of people, the appearance of respecting the old and loving the young must always be done.

Ye Hua could only endure the pain, give the roasted mutton to Fan Zhen, and then continue to roast it himself.

By the time he finished the barbecue, his stomach was growling.

But Chai Rong was full at this time, and finally spoke.

"I've seen it, and this time, although there is no problem in digging up the flood discharge on the south bank, the flood discharge area on the north bank of the river is not empty at all, and all of them have been encroached upon. Not only that, but so many diversion canals have been built, and they are so dense that the local yamen are blind? ”

Chai Rong is really an expert, building canals for irrigation, of course, is a good thing,

However, there are too many canals, and a large amount of river water will be diverted, which will accelerate the siltation of sediment...... After Chai Rong saw it, his scalp was blown up, even if he didn't take the initiative to dig it, with the current situation of the Yellow River embankment, or three or five years, there would be a serious embankment failure.

The Yellow River has reached a point where it cannot be left untreated!

However, he looked along the way, so much land was all the manor of the big family...... These people have always been able to control the river, but they can't touch our family's land.

But if they don't move their land, how can they govern the river?

Chai Rong was furious and uncontrollable.

Ye Hua finally finished eating at this time, he wiped the oil on his hands, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the lower reaches of the Yellow River are too high to last long, if you want to do it once and for all, the best way is to choose a new river and dig a new river, which will naturally solve the flood." ”

Ye Hua is not talking nonsense, because after a few decades, the Yellow River burst its embankment and diverted its course, and the river flowed northward, and the Great Song Dynasty did not hesitate to oppose God in order to retain the natural danger of the Yellow River, and tried to return to the river three times before and after, forcing the Yellow River to return to its original path, all of which failed (for details, please see the Great Song Dynasty Jiangmen).

Ye Hua felt that the problem that was really exposed this time was how to govern the Yellow River...... The best way is to dig a new river channel immediately, but now the problem is that if you want to do such a big project, you will definitely have to expropriate the land, build it on a large scale, and offend the families of Hebei, it is inevitable.

Fan Zhen lowered his head and silently tasted the taste of barbecue, which was really mixed!

He glanced at Ye Hua, who was very embarrassed and embarrassed with oil on his hands, you kid is really powerful, and the matter of the Fu family entangled with the family, the pattern is too low, no, he directly moved out of the major matter of river control, and his majesty can't help it, it's really high!

Really...... When Ye Hua's words were finished, Chai Rong pondered for a long time, facing the jumping flames, and said slowly but firmly: "Decree, clean up all the granges for me, don't let any of them go!" ”
