Chapter 445 River Governance
readx;
Emperor Zhao issued an edict to solicit strategies for water control, although there were many people who offered suggestions, but most of them were indiscriminate, and some were clichΓ©s, and there was no feasible strategy at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Ji regretted this greatly, how could this be the result? Where did all the talents of the Great Song Dynasty go? Is it really that difficult to control the Yellow River? Don't have the slightest solution?
As everyone knows, because the Liuta River and Ergu River plans have failed one after another, the DPRK and Chinese officials really do not have much confidence in controlling the river. Even if you have an idea, you don't dare to say it easily. You must know that the Yellow River has tossed the Great Song Dynasty enough. At this time, if you can successfully control the river, it is naturally the best, it is a great achievement, if you can't, you will inevitably be cursed by people, and even chased and beaten. Han Qi's kind of treatment that is as stable as Mount Tai and is extremely favored by the official family will not be available to others.
In a word, the benefits are slim and the risks are great!
As a result, most of the officials in the DPRK and China have been silenced. Except for a few loyal people and some opportunists, all of them have not spoken out on the matter of governing the river. In the final analysis, the Great Song Dynasty's governance of the Yellow River was definitely not an engineering issue, but a political issue, so the courtiers were very sensitive.
Just because you don't make a suggestion doesn't mean you don't have an opinion.
Once a certain plan is proposed, but there are all kinds of discussions, it is natural that there are many opponents, and the plan can be approved in an instant and useless. It seems that it has become a habit for officials of the Great Song Dynasty to vomit badly.
Zhao Ji was really helpless!
Just as he was about to give up, a fold was handed to the Vertical Arch Hall. The person who wrote the book was the Marquis of Weiyuan, and Lin Zhao, the squire of the military department, and the content was a policy to govern the river.
Zhao Ji hurriedly opened it and took a look, and after looking at the content, he suddenly smiled. I happily went to the court with a song. As for the following episode of the impeachment of a certain important minister on Hebei Road. Ignored by him for the time being.
So much so that the attendants were pleasantly surprised. What is it that makes the sorrowful official Long Yan happy. Although they don't know the content, they can be sure of one thing, the minister who wrote the book is afraid that he is going to be developed!
As for who it was, only the eunuch Huang Huaixin, who went to deliver the decree, knew that this person was Lin Zhao, Marquis of Weiyuan. Lord Lin is a rookie of the Great Song Dynasty, and they have all heard of it. He was made a marquis at a young age, and this time I'm afraid that it will be reused again. No, the official family asked him to pass on Marquis Lin to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting!
Although Lin Zhao has the name of the squire of the military department. But in fact, it's a false title, and it won't make much sense after the peace talks come back. In addition, he fought wars and peace talks in the northwest, and he worked for a long time, so he naturally wanted to give him a big vacation, and he had been resting since returning to Bianjing, and he did not go to court on weekdays.
Today's court meeting, officials from all ministries and institutes in Bianjing, and important yamen will all attend. In such a complete state, it is either a big festival or there is a major event to discuss.
Officials know it. The topic of discussion was definitely the management of the Yellow River's floods. The breach of the Daimyo Mansion has not yet been blocked, and the rain continues. The water of the Yellow River is flowing endlessly to Hebei, and the officials must be in a hurry. But what's the use of even a great court? It's been several times before, but it has all ended up in nothing.
In the state of successive failures in governing the river, no one dares to speak rashly, and there is no such ability! I have to say that in the Great Song Dynasty, which is known as a gathering of capable ministers and celebrities, officials have a set of struggles, but it seems that doing practical things is a little unsatisfactory.
The Great Dynasty will be held in the Daqing Palace, which is the main hall of the Bianjing Imperial Palace, with a grand scale and many officials. After Emperor Zhao Ji arrived, the officials saluted one after another. In this era, the difference between monarchs and ministers is only that the emperor sits and the ministers stand, which is the handiwork of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, but there is no need to kneel.
After Zhao Ji sat down, he asked loudly: "It has been more than half a month since the Yellow River broke in the Daimyo's Mansion, and the edict to solicit measures for river control has been issued for a long time, do you have a good plan?" β
There was a sudden silence in the court, and no one spoke! It's been like this for a long time. However, some careful officials have noticed that the official family's expression today is unusual, could it be that there are some variables? Isn't that enough?
"What? None of them? βγ Zhao Ji asked coldly, slightly dissatisfied, but a little proud between his eyebrows.
"You don't, I have it here!" Zhao Ji slapped suddenly, and a piece of music fell on the imperial case, and the momentum suddenly became much stronger.
However, the response of the officials was very poor, and most of them did not care, or even the slightest look of surprise. Are there fewer recent programs? But most of them are rhetoric, how many are feasible? They're ready to vomit. I'm afraid that the official family is too anxious again.
No, Emperor Zhao said loudly: "Chuan Lin Zhao goes to the palace!" β
Lin Zhao!
When the name came out, there was a commotion in the main hall. If this note is Lin Zhao's, I'm afraid today's things will be a little variable. Lin Zhao's reputation in the Great Song Dynasty was very loud, and he challenged difficult things every time, and he succeeded every time. Does he do less than anything unexpected? Is there any hope for river control?
Of course, some people think that Lin Zhao is still young in the end, so it is too much. At a young age, he dared to point fingers at such a major matter as river control, and he still had to vomit after a while, which could be regarded as a lesson for young people. However, there are also people who have a sense of foreboding in their confidence, such as Lu Huiqing.
For Lin Zhao's strength and personality, he has a deeper understanding than others, could it be that this kid really governs the river well? If this is the case, then he will undoubtedly be even more prosperous? It's hard to get revenge in the future. For a while, the power in his heart was even stronger. As for Wang Yan, his heart was slightly sour and a little jealous. Of course, we also have to see what Lin Zhao proposes, it is best to be refuted, he is waiting to see the joke!
Wang Anshi stood in front of him silently, and his attitude was very fair in the matter of governing the river. If there is really a way to control the Yellow River, no matter who it is, he will show his support, although Wang Xianggong is stubborn, but he is also upright.
As for Zhao Luan, his mood is a little complicated. The son of Renzong is so good, it is naturally good to contribute to the governance of the river, and it is worthy of praise. But the more he is in a high position, the more obvious the contradiction between him and the current official family, what should be done when the time comes?
Lin Zhao walked into the court under the guidance of the chamberlain, and his young face and the waiter-level court clothes looked so special in the court. The old ones are a little embarrassed, the young ones are a little envious, and the Lin Shilang who stands out from the crowd is so different.
After many days of preparation, Lin Zhao finally had a complete plan for river control. There have been cautious predictions and evaluations in all aspects such as feasibility and effect prediction, which will definitely make Zhao Ji's heart move, and he is also confident in convincing the princes of the imperial court.
When the eunuch came to deliver the decree, he knew that the first purpose had been accomplished. As for the second purpose, it is necessary to work the court.
"Chen Lin Zhao participates in Your Majesty!" Lin Zhao had to bow down and salute his nephew on the dragon chair, which should have been his position, and he was more noble, but now he had to bow to him. One day, you will pull him down and kneel before you.
"Dongyang is exempt, this policy of governing the river is what you are on?" Zhao Ji was very polite to Lin Zhao, he had treated Lin Zhao a little harshly before, and he was slightly sorry in his heart. Therefore, he made up for it by sealing the marquis, and at the same time hoped that Lin Zhao would be grateful to Dade and continue to cultivate as a confidant. Now it seems to be effective, when he was most helpless, Lin Zhao wrote to share his worries, and there was a feeling of sending charcoal in the snow.
"Yes!"
Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Then you can talk about it for the princes, what kind of river control plan you want to take!" β
"The river will return to the east, and the Ergu River will be rebuilt!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court. Practice has proved that the Erguhe plan failed, but Lin Zhao still has to propose such a plan? Was he kicked in the head by a donkey? Or do you have a fever?
"Dongyang, the breach of the Daimyo Mansion has not been blocked, how should these two rivers be rebuilt? Why? Obviously, Zhao Ji wanted to ask and answer Lin Zhao to explain this problem.
Lin Zhaolang said: "The Yellow River must resume flowing eastward, do you have any objections to this issue?" βγ
Needless to say? Who would dare to deny the most basic strategy of national defense of the Great Song Dynasty? Naturally, no one objected.
"That's good!" Lin Zhao continued: "There are only the following ways to return to the east, the first is to restore the old way of Henglong; second, from the Beiqing River Jishui old road into the sea; third, through the Bianhe River and Surabaya River into the Huai River, from the two Huai into the sea; The fourth is the Ergu River that has just failed!
I don't know if you have been to investigate, the old road of Henglong is seriously silted, if you want to clean it up, it will take decades, and now the Yellow River is already an urgent need, but I am afraid that we can't afford to wait. As for the Beiqing River, it needs to pass through Liangshanbo and other places, which seems to be not bad. It's just that the amount of work is huge, and if you are not careful, you may also endanger Jingdong Road, so you don't dare to take risks. β
Lianghuai and Jiangnan are the money and grain bases of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Bianhe River and the Surabaya Canal are the economic lifelines of the Great Song Dynasty. So there is only the plan of the eastward flow of the two rivers left!
Someone immediately objected: "But Erguhe has just failed, and it is not feasible!" β
"Doesn't it have to be feasible to fail once?". Lin Zhao asked rhetorically and said: "The Yellow River near the Daimyo's Mansion flows eastward, relatively speaking, the terrain is relatively large, and it can guide the river to flow eastward. As long as the dredging is timely, it is completely fine. As Ouyang Gong said back then, as long as the estuary is repaired, the river will naturally flow eastward! β
"That being said, where is it so easy to desilt? How? Moreover, the breach of the Daimyo's Mansion is very serious, how can it be blocked, and even if it is blocked, how can it ensure that the embankment does not break again? β
"It is not difficult to block the breach, as long as the east flow is unimpeded, the flood peak can pass through safely, and naturally there will be no breach. Besides, I have a way to make the embankment impregnable. (To be continued......)
