With the help of water potential?

People who know a little bit about river engineering know that the so-called water potential is the speed of water flow, but this requires a drop, but after the Yellow River goes out of Sanmenxia, it is a flat river, where is there any drop? How should Lin Zhao borrow this water potential? Could it be that there is an artificial gap?

"Lift it up!"

Lin Zhao was very well prepared, and then someone brought up a large wooden plate with a small canal on it, which was lined with sand, like a model of the Yellow River. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info heard that Lin Zhao was fighting in the northwest and made a sand table, everyone thought it was very novel, could it be that he also used this thing to govern the river?

"Your Majesty, my lords, for the sake of intuition, I have made such a model, which is very similar to the condition of the Yellow River's flowing water and sediment." Lin Zhao said: "If the water flow is faster, the sediment will not settle easily, and it can even wash away the sediment that is already silted. But Hebei Road is all plains, but there are ways, we can artificially create a gap! ”

"Do you want to build a dam on the Yellow River? Are you kidding? "You can do that on the small canals, but there seems to be some fantasy on the Yellow River. Therefore, when Lin Zhao's voice landed, he immediately had some mockery and questioning.

"You can't repair a levee, but we can repair half of it!" Lin Zhao said with a smile: "You can use the method of binding water and washing sand!" ”

"Bundle of water and sand?"

"That's right!" Lin Zhao explained: "The so-called water and sand washing is to tighten the river channel and use the impulse of water to impact the sediment at the bottom of the riverbed, so as to achieve the purpose of dredging and flood control. ”

As he spoke, Lin Zhao began to demonstrate on the model, and soon built a half-way embankment on the side of the river, and then poured water into the upper stream. The water inlet is large and the water outlet is small, and the water level is also abruptly outside the city, so the water outlet on the other side flows very fast. The silt from the "bottom of the river" is also washed up and continues to flow down with the current. The presentation is very intuitive and clear.

"If you want to go deep into the north, then the south is its embankment and the north is deep; If you want to go deep into the south, you should go deep in the north and the south from the south; If you want to go deep. Then the north and south embankments are two bundles, rushing to the middle, and the middle is deep, if you want to silt the beach and fix the embankment, then this method is used instead, what do you think? Lin Zhao asked rhetorically. Suddenly the ministers watching were speechless.

It was a long time before an official of the Ministry of Industry who used to govern the river exclaimed: "It is better to rule the river with people, than to govern the river with the river." The husband river is anxious, and he uses his strength to serve his strength, which is shallow or deep, and the cure is in my palm. Wei Yuanhou's method is really wonderful, and the Yellow River can be controlled. The Yellow River can be cured! ”

Such words of happiness speak the hearts of Emperor Zhao Ji and many ministers, and it is naturally best that the Yellow River has a way to govern. The princes admired Marquis Lin even more, and some people were extremely curious, how could Lin Zhao be so capable?

"You have all seen Dongyang's policy of governing the river, but what objections do you have?" Zhao Ji asked in a deep voice.

The Wuzhang River became a temporary court, and as soon as these words came out, the ministers were silent. Lin Zhao is well prepared in all aspects, almost leakless, and he can't find a flaw at all, how can he refute it? After all, in terms of strategy and methodology, this set seems to be much more reliable than the Liuta River and the original Ergu River plan.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that the officials who participated in the two programs at that time will be somewhat uncomfortable. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, as long as you're right, the politics of river governance in the Northern Song Dynasty are reflected in these aspects. It's just that Lin Zhao is impeccable, and they can't say why, and now they can only expect the project to fail. Impeachment again, and the last laugh is considered a hero. Moreover, it is clear that the official family supports Lin Zhao, and it is not a good thing to go against the holy will at this time.

Zhao Ji said in a deep voice: "Then I want to appoint Dongyang as the minister of river governance, do you have any objections?" ”

Whoever gives advice governs the river. This is already a tradition, and it is a natural thing, and naturally no one opposes it, not to mention that there is no reason to oppose it at all.

Lin Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this troublesome but unprofitable matter finally fell into his hands. It's just that there is not much envy among the people present, and most people still feel that harnessing the Yellow River is a thankless task. Although there are good methods and materials, it does not mean that they are foolproof and will be successful. Lin Zhao is young in the end, and he just wants to make meritorious contributions and be in the limelight, hey! He's playing with fire**.

No, it should be playing with water to seek death, Lu Huiqing and Wang Yan both thought so in their hearts. Although Lin Zhao often challenges some things that cannot be violated, can his luck always be so good? At least the two of them were gloating.

"Okay, then it's decided!" Zhao Zhao said loudly: "Lin Zhao was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Works, responsible for all affairs of the river. ”

The previous squire of the Ministry of Industry has been dismissed because of the unfavorable governance of the river, although they are all squires, but the squire of the Ministry of War is just an empty shelf with a false name, but the squire of the Ministry of Works is different, it is a real shortage. At this moment, Lin Shilang's title is worthy of the name.

Lin Zhao did not hurry to thank him, but bowed and said: "Your Majesty, governing the river is the great plan of the country, and it is the duty of the ministers. Just before that, there are a couple of requests! ”

"Bold, are you trying to negotiate conditions with Your Majesty?" Immediately, a clown who jumped off the beam came out to question, thinking that Lin Zhao didn't know how to lift.

"Dongyang said come and listen!" Zhao Ji didn't care, governing the river was a top priority, and he wouldn't care too much about some small things. Moreover, we have to see what Lin Zhao says.

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "First of all, river control is a matter of engineering, and we must not be afraid of the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods!" ”

This point is very important, during the reign of Renzong, the river was governed, and the area around Lanzhou was to be started, but there is a book saying that it is located just above Bianjing. Construction there is tantamount to breaking ground on the emperor's head and affecting the emperor, and this nonsense directly affects the progress of the project. Therefore, Lin Zhao raised this issue early on, just to prevent someone from looking for trouble in this regard. The ancients were superstitious, and it was better to believe that there was something than to believe in it, and it was good to take a preventive shot first.

"Accurate!"

"Your Majesty, the river control is not a day's work, in the process there will be some criticism, the minister's reputation is small, but the river control project cannot be stopped, let alone change the order overnight, ruined in a flash. Today, it has been demonstrated that this method is feasible, and the public has no objection, and I hope that this will continue to be the case in the future. Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "If the work can be achieved in one or two years, after ten years, the flood of the Yellow River may be completely solved." ”

Lin Zhao's meaning is very clear, he wants Zhao Ji not to listen to slander and give his full support, otherwise it will be difficult to govern the river. In the past, there were many such examples, and just after a little improvement, all kinds of impeachments were made, intermittently, and in the end nothing came to fruition. Zhao Ji has a deep understanding of this, and there is no doubt about employing people, but now everyone has no way to govern the river, and they are timid, only Lin Zhao is willing and has the ability, so he should naturally give full support. This time, Zhao Ji wanted to treat river control as a purely engineering problem.

"Dongyang let it go, I believe in you!"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your trust!" Lin Zhao continued: "Please also ask Your Majesty to give your ministers the right to arbitrarily along the river!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar. The right to arbitrarily along the river? Doesn't it mean that along the Yellow River, Lin Zhao can arbitrarily decide everything related to the governance of the river? This is simply a shocking statement in the Great Song Dynasty, which is known for its separation of powers, and it is somewhat taboo.

Lin Zhao didn't care about that, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, governing the river is not only about governing the river, but also about the people along the river. ”

This sentence reached Zhao Qi's heart, and the letter of impeachment of Han Qi immediately appeared in his mind. The Imperial City Division had already secretly investigated, and some of these things had been verified, so Zhao Ji believed it a little more. There are too many things involved in river control, and naturally the interests of many people are closely related. When the time comes, the opposition will be openly stumbling, and there will be a lot of trouble, and Lin Zhao is very prescient to put forward this point, otherwise he may not be able to move an inch in the land of Hebei.

It's just that Lin Zhao is given so much power, what if he secretly does bad things? Therefore, Zhao Ji was somewhat worried.

Lin Zhao naturally understood, and immediately said: "Your Majesty can send the imperial history or someone you trust to supervise with your ministers, but ...... They are only responsible for observing and recording the actions of the ministers, and directly report to His Majesty, who is in charge, and it is inconvenient for them to dictate the matter of governing the river. ”

"Okay, then I'll be sure, I'll give you a sword, and I'll do it cheaply!" All that has been said and done, what else can I do? What can I do well? In extraordinary times, it's okay to take some risks. Even if the minister objected, Zhao Ji didn't care.

Imperial Sword, Son of Heaven Sword, Lin Zhao secretly said: This should be the prototype of Shang Fang's sword!

"Dongyang, the Yellow River is in your hands, the responsibility is heavy, and I hope you will do your best!" Zhao Ji encouraged and had high expectations.

"The minister must do his best!" The country is also his own, and in the matter of controlling the Yellow River, Lin Zhao will naturally do everything he can, which is much stronger than others. The success of river control will reap unlimited benefits, although those are not yet in time to be realized, but this arbitrary power along the river is really obtained.

If you go to Hebei here, with this "Shang Fang Sword", you can run rampant in Hebei, and you will be qualified and strong to compete with Han Qi. On the one hand, it is revenge, and on the other hand, it is to use Zhao Ji's hand to deal with Han Qi, so that the enemy fights among themselves, and it is infinitely happy to think about it. The power in the most important hands, all of a sudden, from a small official who did not enter the stream, instantly played a pivotal role in the Great Song Dynasty, which is not trivial.

Subsequently, the Imperial Historical Observatory sent a Cheng Xueli, who was known as fair, and Zhao Ji also sent his close eunuch Huang Huaixin to Hebei to supervise Lin Zhaozhihe. During the reign of Taizong, there was a precedent for chamberlains to serve as supervisors, so it is not surprising that eunuchs went. It happened to be the person next to Zhao Ji, and he was relieved to look at him in person.

At this point, it was settled, and when the heavy rain stopped, Lin Zhao went to Hebei Road to start the river control project. At present, there is no leisure, and it is necessary to find a suitable place to build a kiln factory to produce cement on a large scale, as well as to make iron-clawed dragons and Junchuan loquats, and there are a lot of messy things.

However, Lin Zhao is now a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and the matter of governing the river is greater than the sky, and all departments of the court dare not slack off, so they naturally fully cooperate. The three divisions allocated funds, the Ministry of Works repaired, and the Privy Council even transferred troops to help, everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

At this time, Emperor Zhao summoned Lin Zhao into the palace. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
