Chapter 121: Water Control Strategy
In the blink of an eye, the two-day day came, and Jiang Hexing took Zhang Meng to Sikong Mansion early. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Wang Yi came to the hall with Jiang Hexing, and there were many people in the hall, and the black pressure station was full of people.
Wang Yi pulled the river and introduced it to everyone: "This is Heshun from Pingzhou. He Shunhou has always admired the customs and etiquette of the Central Plains, so he led the people of Pingzhou to naturalize my new dynasty.
He is well-informed, so he is with me today at this meeting on river governance. ”
Jiang Hexing swept around everyone, at least more than a hundred people, his hall was large enough, and he didn't feel crowded at all.
Jiang Hexing almost laughed, and at this time, he realized that more than 100 people were actually lined up in a square, with 10 people in each row, low in the front and high in the back, with more than a dozen rows.
Wang Yi seems to be used to managing the army, and managing his subordinates is still the same old way.
Jiang Hexing clenched his fists and arched his hand and said: "Everyone, I am Jiang Hexing from Pingzhou, although the name is Jianghexing, but I don't understand the river, I don't understand the river, I came here today, just to listen." ”
Wang Yi said: "Heshun, you are polite." Let's gossip without further ado, let's get started. ”
At this time, a group of people walked in with futons and placed them on the floor of the hall. Each person took a futon and knelt on the ground, forming a fan-shaped shape.
Wang Yi pulled Jiang Hexing and Zhang Meng and came to the hall, where someone had already prepared a futon, and a low table was placed in front of the futon.
Wang Yi knelt in the middle, Jiang Hexing was on the left, and Zhang Meng was on the right, and they all knelt on the ground, looking at everyone.
Everyone also knelt down and looked at Wang Yi, who said, "Today we are discussing the matter of controlling the river, which one will make a good start first." ”
Wang Yi looked at everyone, and the people in front of him stretched their necks, hoping to be pointed at by Wang Yi. Wang Yi pointed to a black fat man next to the big pillar in the east and said, "Captain Changshui, let's talk about it first." ”
The black fat man stood up and said, "Lieutenant in Xia Changshui, Guan He from Pingling." ”
Jiang Hexing frowned, how could there be a general. Jiang Hexing asked in a low voice: "Da Sikong, is this Captain Guan also an expert who understands water?" ”
Wang Yi smiled and nodded: "Guan is not a talent, you hear what new ideas he has." ”
Jianghexing is really a bit unexpected, and it seems that there is a bit of an eclectic feeling of employing people here.
Guan and continued: "The Yellow River break is basically in the area of Dongjun, Pingyuan County, and Wei County, which is about the same. Why do you often burst the embankment here? The terrain is low-lying and the soil is loose.
I heard that when Dayu controlled the water, he emptied this place. He believes that the water potential here is large, and the water potential is so that the excess water is released here, and it is used as a flood discharge area. If there is less water, there is no need to worry, it will run out on its own.
Even if the Yellow River breaks and often changes places, it is still roughly in this area.
Ancient things are difficult to understand in detail. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the breaches of the Yellow River are basically still in the Cao and Wei areas, and the distance to the south is no more than 180 li. ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Yi nodded and said, "That's good." ”
At this time, in front of Wang Yi, a tall man with gray hair stood up and said, "Da Sikong, I have something to say." ”
Wang Yi said: "Okay, Zhang Rong, you can come." ”
Zhang Rong said: "Below is Chang'an Zhang Rong, who serves in the Great Sima Mansion. The nature of water is that the water flows downward, and if the water is fast, it will scrape away the soil and wash it into a ravine, which can gradually deepen. The water of the Yellow River is quite turbid, known as one stone of water and six buckets of mud. If the water flow is gentle, the sediment will slowly accumulate.
Now in the counties in the west, and even in the places east of Jingshi, the people divert the Yellow River, Weishui, and mountains and rivers to irrigate their farmland. Spring and summer are dry, when there is little water, so the Yellow River is sluggish, silted up and gradually becomes shallow; The upstream uses more water, while the downstream channels will become shallower and more silted up due to the sluggish flow.
When it rains a lot, the water rushes wildly, the water is strong, and the river is shallow, so it will burst.
The imperial court blocked the breach several times, and the river embankment gradually became higher than the ground, as if building a low wall and living in the water. You can obey their own situation, no longer use it for irrigation, the river will not become shallow, when the water is strong, then it will be smooth, the waterway will naturally be smooth, and there will be no danger of breaching. ”
After Zhang Rong finished speaking, Wang Yi frowned, and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Rong.
Zhang Rong looked himself up and down to see that he was still decent, and asked, "Da Sikong, is there anything wrong with my idea?" ”
Wang Yi shook his head and said, "It's not that your idea is wrong, it's to restrict upstream water use, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't agree." He has always loved the people, how can he bear to look at the fields upstream, and there is no water to irrigate? ”
Zhang Rong said: "But when you take care of the dry season in the upstream, when the rainy season in the downstream arrives, it is unbearable." ”
Wang Yi waved his hand and said, you can sit down first, but I will take note of your opinion.
Wang Yi inspected the crowd: "Who else has a good idea?" ”
On the west side of the pillar stood a man with gray hair, who looked about seventy years old.
Wang Yi hurriedly said: "Han Yushi, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
The old man looked around and said, "Han Mu in Linhuai, let me talk about my opinion. We can roughly follow the place of the nine rivers on the "Yu Gong" to excavate, even if we can't dig into nine, only to be able to make four or five, it is also beneficial. ”
Wang Yi nodded and said, dividing the water potential is indispensable for the management of the Yellow River. Wang Yi asked who else was, and at this moment a young man stood at the door, who looked to be no more than thirty years old.
Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Wang Heng, you come in and say, standing at the door, no one can hear clearly." ”
Wang Heng walked quickly to the opposite side of Wang Yi, cleared his throat, and said, "The Yellow River flows into Bohai, and the ground of Bohai is higher than the place where Han Mu intends to excavate. In the past, it rained continuously, and the northeast wind blew, and the sea overflowed, and poured out to the southwest, flooding hundreds of miles, and the land of the nine rivers had been swallowed up by the sea. The water of the Yellow River flows through Dayu, which originally flowed down to the northeast with the western mountains. "Zhou Pu" records that the Yellow River was displaced in the fifth year of King Ding, so the place where it flows through now is not dug by Dayu. In addition, the Qin State attacked the Wei State, broke the Yellow River, and flooded the capital of the Wei State, and the place of the breach gradually increased, and it could not be replenished. It is necessary to retreat to the original place that is completely level, and re-excavate it, so that the river flows northeast into the sea along the western hill and high ground, so that there will be no flooding. ”
Wang Yi smiled and said: "Wang Heng, you mean to find the old road of the Yellow River where Dayu controls the water, and then let the Yellow River take this ancient road, right?" ”
Wang Heng nodded.
Wang Yi waved his hand, and Wang Heng retreated to the door.
Wang Yi asked again to see if there was any good way, and the people stopped talking.
Wang Yi asked everyone to discuss these plans, and the room quickly buzzed, and soon there was chaos. People are talking and arguing in twos and threes, and they don't give in to each other.
Half an hour passed, and the people returned to their places, gradually quieted down, and waited for Wang Yi to speak. Wang Yi turned around and called a person, who was about the same age as Jiang Hexing, thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a bitter gourd face, as if everyone else owed him money.
The bitter gourd face held a roll of white silk in his hand and handed it to Wang Yi. Wang Yi opened it and saw that it was the record of the river proposal that everyone had just mentioned, which was neat and clear.
Jiang Hexing asked Wang Yi who this person was. Wang Yi smiled slightly and said: "We still have a few talents in Sikong Mansion, and that Wang Heng just now, as well as this Heng Tan, are all good talents." ”
Heng Tan, this name seems to have been seen somewhere, not very familiar.
Jiang Hexing looked at Heng Tan's bitter gourd face, and looked like he ignored everyone, it was estimated that this person should have some talent.
Jiang Hexing asked, "Mr. Heng, what do you think of the Yellow River?" ”
Heng Tan said: "I don't know much about this, but there are so many good suggestions just now, there is always a suitable one to control the Yellow River, let's choose one." ”
Wang Yi then asked, "In your opinion, which plan is suitable?" ”
Heng Tan said: "What Zhang Rong said just now has not been talked about before, so it is worth thinking about." He regarded the control of the Yellow River not only as a matter of water control, but also as a combination of sand control. The water flow is fast, carries a lot of sediment, and the river channel is not easy to rise.
The harm of the Yellow River lies in the large amount of water in the rainy season, and the accumulation of sediment and the elevation of the river channel. Every year the embankment is repaired, and the embankment grows taller every year, and the harm of the Yellow River becomes greater and greater.
I think this is very appropriate for upstream.
As far as the downstream is concerned, I think it is very appropriate to say that there is a flood discharge area in the area of Pingyuan County and Dong County, which are prone to flooding, and the flood water is discharged into it. What Guan He said is similar to what Jia Rang said before. In addition, I think Han Mu is also very good. However, I don't think there is much difference between him and Jia Rangsance. ”
Jiang Hexing asked Wang Yi: "Who is Jia Rang, and since he has such a talent, why didn't he come to the river control conference?" ”
Jiang Hexing's voice may be a little loud, everyone covered their mouths and laughed, and a few people laughed back and forth. Jiang Hexing looked at Wang Yi more and more strangely and said, "Da Sikong, who is this Jia Rang?" Could it be that the ancients couldn't do it? ”
Wang Yi said: "It's not an ancient, but people have been ancients and have been dead for several years", speaking of this, Wang Yi pointed to Heng Tan, "Heng Tan, you introduce Jia Rang to He Shunhou, and talk about his three strategies for governing the river." (To be continued.) )
