Although Zhao Xu said this passionately, this problem is too big, and it is not a problem that can be solved in a short period of time.

All of a sudden, the Qinzheng Hall became silent, and such a scene was naturally a little embarrassing, and the ministers who had always been like swords and swords had all become dumb at this moment.

In the end, Su Song, who has always been more upright and bold, but has the most knowledge, took the lead in breaking the silence.

I only heard him say: "Your Majesty, the threat of the Yellow River to Bianliang City is a problem that has always existed in the capital for eternity, and it is not a problem that can be solved in a short period of time. Even if the ordinary flood bursts the embankment, it will not be able to collapse Bianliang City at all. And my Great Song Dynasty soldiers used their lives, and hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops were gathered in Bianliang City, and it was impossible for the Liao State to attack under Bianliang City. ”

Seeing that someone finally spoke, Fan Chunren, the prime minister of Buyi, also echoed and said: "Your Majesty, Su Gong's words are reasonable, and among all of you, he also has the most experience in water control. What's more, this year's heavy rain can be said to be a rare occurrence in a century? In the years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, except for this time, there has never been such a heavy rain in the Yellow River Basin. ”

"Fan Gong's words are wrong, have you forgotten the prison of the Liuhe Pagoda back then? How did the raging river move thousands of soldiers and civilians? If you forget, the people who witnessed it back then, the support at that time, and the prime minister at that time, Gong Wenke, is still alive! Lu Huiqing is second only to Uncle Cao Guo in age among the ministers here, and his words immediately made Fan Chunren speechless.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the water of the Yellow River has skyrocketed, resulting in several rivers running through the capital, such as the Bianhe River, the Wuzhang River, etc., often pouring into Bianliang City, which is not news, even the people who have been living in the inner and outer cities have become accustomed to it.

Although the prison of the Six Towers River in the first year of Jiayou was downplayed by later generations of literati, in this era, it was a stain that could not be erased for the rest of their lives when Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi were two 'virtuous ministers' in power.

Even if Jia Changqi was described as a traitor by later generations of literati, if we judge things by facts, in this matter, this traitor was undoubtedly very correct in vigorously opposing the Liuta River project at the beginning.

It's a pity that Song Renzong has always trusted Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi very much.

Lu Huiqing actually came to stir up trouble this time, this villain has always been conceited and talented, but he knows very well that for water conservancy, this is not what he is good at, so naturally he doesn't need to come out to show ugliness.

However, attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son is something he is very good at. These opponents, who are also not very proficient in water conservancy, can't use his skills at all.

Lu Huiqing was so stunned, and all those who wanted to echo Su Song so that Zhao Xu didn't have to worry about the world anymore were all scared back.

The scene is back to its original state.

"It's a pity that Gonggong Song is dead." At this time, Liang Shicheng suddenly sighed.

Gonggong Song refers to another big eunuch who can be used by Song Shenzong's side-Song Yongchen.

is different from Shi Deyi, Li Xian, and Wang Zhongzheng. This Song Yongchen is really talented, especially in architecture and water conservancy, in this era, it can be described as an expert-level existence. It was the project he presided over, the Luojibian Project, that rejuvenated the silted Bianhe River.

After the completion of this project, after several years, the sediment in the Bianhe River has been greatly reduced, and the entire waterway of the Bianhe River has been greatly improved, and the water transportation has become smooth again.

However, some of the ministers of those conservatives just did not believe in this evil, and during the Yuan You period, someone presided over a project, that is, to reintroduce the water of the Yellow River into the Bianhe River. However, not long after the completion of this project, it was immediately corrected again, that is, it was led to Luotongbian again.

Why is that?

Because, after the water of the Yellow River enters the Bianhe River, a large amount of sediment is carried into the Bianhe River again, and the entire Bianhe River is at risk of being silted up again. At that time, the situation was that natural disasters around the Gyeonggi area continued, and the food in Bianliang City had begun to become tight, and if the Bianhe River was not allowed to get back on track, the grain in the south would be clogged in the canal.

At that time, the incumbent prime ministers Lu Gongshu and Wen Yanbo had to step down on their own initiative.

Until now, the water source of the Bianhe River has always been dominated by the Luo River.

In fact, there is another thing, the proposal to introduce Luo into Bian, as early as Xining, someone mentioned it, but at that time, Wang Anshi's position was shaky, and the power of the conservative minister was restored, so this correct proposal was naturally shelved.

In the first year of Yuanfeng, the Bianhe River was seriously silted up, and this proposal was put forward again, and Song Shenzong sent people to investigate the Luohe River several times. However, the ministers did not agree on it, and the project would certainly cost a lot of money, so it was shelved again.

In the first month of the second year of Yuanfeng, Wang Qi and Cai did become prime ministers, and the conservative forces in the court turned into a strategic retreat. In the same month, Song Shenzong sent his close confidant eunuch Song Yongchen to investigate in person.

After Song Yongchen investigated, he naturally agreed with this project.

However, at the beginning, when Song Yongchen was building this project to lead Luoyang into Bian, the local Wenchen family, gentry and wealthy families in Luoyang, headed by Sima Guang, tried all kinds of ways to obstruct the construction of this project.

Why?

The digging of the aqueduct will certainly occupy a part of the fertile arable land in the area, and the imperial court will only compensate the other party for the loss according to the specific amount on the land deed issued by the government. For the landlords who conceal the actual number of fields, they are cutting their flesh with a soft knife!

Fortunately, with the strong support of Song Shenzong behind him, Cai is indeed an extremely firm changer, and the difficulty of this project is not too great.

According to Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Writings", Yuanfeng started construction in March of the second year and was completed in June of that year, and the entire project of leading Luo into Bian took only 45 days.

From proposal to completion, years were wasted.

It's a pity that this powerful man among the eunuchs still can't escape the power dump. After the death of the first emperor, Song Yongchen was also implicated, and he was demoted to guard the spirit of Song Shenzong, in that place, his status was not as good as Shi Deyi?

Such a great talent died of illness in the imperial tomb with Shi De.

"Yes!" Hearing this, although he knew that the other party was lamenting a eunuch, Su Song still sighed.

These two words are a sincere expression of feelings, without the slightest hint of discrimination.

"Your Majesty, as the old saying goes, the bell must be tied to the bell. Since this is the kid who brought it up, you might as well let him out for the time being and ask him for his opinion on the matter. Your Majesty, what do you think? Seeing that the time was ripe, Uncle Cao Guo threw out this topic in a timely manner.

In fact, all the officials present had this idea in mind.

But the reason why they were not able to bring it up in front of Zhao Xu was because they each had their own concerns and ideas.

The reasons for the two brothers of the Cai family and the three ministers of the conservatives are needless to say.

Cai Dao is so young, Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu really can't wipe their face to ask him for advice.

And Zeng Zhao is unwilling to let Cai Dao get involved in the rights and wrongs of this place.
