Chapter 338: Shoot the Man and Shoot the Horse First (I)
- "One more thing," Zhao Zongji sighed, "It's really eventful." ”
"What?"
"What else could it be? River workers. Zhao Zongji smiled bitterly: "Since ancient times, those who have done their best to govern the river are not as good as this dynasty." However, the Yellow River is not able to get along with this dynasty......"
It's river work again......
Governing the Yellow River was an inescapable topic of fate for the Great Song Dynasty. But since the Six Towers Prison four years ago, no one has dared to mention the issue of dealing with the river. However, the Yellow River is still overflowing, and the people on both sides of the river are still suffering from it.
If anyone is worried about this and has trouble sleeping, it must be the rich minister.
In the first year of Jiayou, with the support of Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, the imperial court tried to reduce the water of the Yellow River with the Liuta River, so as to block the breach of merchants and restore the eastward flow of the Yellow River, which flowed north.
At first, it was fine, but when the breach closed, the flow of water suddenly increased, and the rolling flood swept back upstream, causing the tragedy of Shanghu re-bursting the embankment.
After the disaster, the imperial court could not save it at all, so it could only let the flood flow as it wanted...... Of course, following the laws of nature, if the water flows to a lower place, it will definitely find its own way into the sea according to the geography.
As a result of nature, the Yellow River forked – after a breach this summer, the Yellow River became a two-strand river, that is, in the middle and lower reaches, branching off into a tributary to the east, which connected to the Jieshou River and entered the sea between Hebei and Shandong, and together with the north stream, shared the water from the upper reaches.
When Fu Bi learned of this situation, it was called a mixed taste. Isn't this eastward flow the original intention of the Liuta River Project? The Liuta River can't reduce the water, and this eastward flow will reduce the ...... It's like a joke made by God.
But in any case, God gave you a chance, it's up to you to decide if you want it or not.
This time, Fu Xianggong did not want to be like the one in the eighth year of Qingli, and because of the ostrich mentality of the ministers of the court. The golden period of water control has been missed. He wants to make up for the mistakes of Jiayou's first year. Take care of the Yellow River!
So he withstood the pressure to disarm, and finally squeezed out millions of dollars a year, ready to do a big job.
But how? It's not for him to have the final say. What's more, with the experience of Jiayou's first year, Fu Xianggong became extremely cautious, and he couldn't afford to fail to control the river again. Be sure to find the right way to start work again!
So the court issued an edict. Ordered the minister to speak freely about the river fortifications!
Basically, speaking freely is the same as arguing.
As for how to construct the project, the court quarreled back and forth, and some people said that the north flow should be blocked; Some say that the riverbed should be bent; Some people say that the river should be reduced...... However, there is one thing that is unanimous, and that is that they all hope that the Yellow River will return to flowing eastward.
There are two main reasons for this, one is that the Yellow River flows north, which silted up the Maginot Line of the Song Dynasty, which runs from Cangzhou in the east to Baozhou in the west, and makes the civil officials of the Song Dynasty restless. The second is the northern flow of the Yellow River. It seriously affects the water source of the Bianhe River, and then threatens the transportation of the river.
Even the people of Bianjing know about this super city with a population of one million. It is by relying on a steady stream of luck. It has always maintained its vitality and prosperity. If there was a problem with Caoyun, the Great Song Dynasty could only move the capital......
In view of these two points. It seems that there is no other choice but to restore the eastward flow of the Yellow River.
It's just that how could the scholars and doctors let go of this opportunity to show their erudition? As a result, various opinions came out one after another, and they are still arguing endlessly.
Zhao Zongji watched the government in front of the emperor, and naturally it was indispensable to be affected by the pond fish, and the official asked a few of them to write a chapter on this, writing their own views and reasons.
"Presumably at this time, Zhao Zongshi has already got the draft and is polishing it, right?" Zhao Zongji said sourly: "I didn't write a word." ”
"Why don't you write?"
"It's not you." Zhao Zongji smiled bitterly at Chen Ke: "In the past few years, I have become more and more convinced that there is no right to speak without investigation, and I have not seen Erguhe with my own eyes, how can I draw conclusions?" ”
"That's right," Chen Ke nodded and praised: "Those guys who sit in the well and watch the sky, thinking that they know astronomy and geography, it is impossible to find the right countermeasures." ”
"But I don't have time to inspect it." Zhao Zongji said: "Three days after the official family, it will be played." ”
"Honestly." Chen Ke said.
"The full text is as follows......" Zhao Zongji rolled his eyes and said: "I don't have the right to speak if I don't investigate, please allow me to take a look first...... Do you think that's appropriate? ”
"Okay." Chen Ke said: "You can also add some private goods. ”
"For example?"
"For example, the root cause of the harm of the Yellow River lies in the fact that the sand in the water is the sixth of it." Chen Ke said: "In the upstream, because of the large drop and the rapid current, the sediment is carried down, and it cannot be harmed. However, after entering Kaifeng, the terrain is flat, the water flow is slow, and the sand and silt the river body, which has repeatedly caused the embankment to burst.
"So, the Ergu River must not last long?" Zhao Zongji said with some understanding.
"That's right, the Ergu River divides the upstream water in two," Chen Ke nodded, "Although the amount of water can be reduced, there will be more sediment accumulation, and the river will soon be re-silted." If we build a dam at the fork of the two rivers, both rivers will be opened during the flood season, and the flood season will be opened, and in the dry season, one river will be used to drain the water, and the other will be dredged with all its might, so that the safety of both sides of the river can be guaranteed." ”
"That's right." Zhao Zongji was not very cold and said: "Governing the river has become the homework of the imperial court, how long do you have to carry this burden?" ”
Chen Kexin said that a thousand years later, he is still governing the river...... He understood what Zhao Zongji meant, such a protracted battle plan was really not easy to brilliant.
However, is the river for the sake of brilliance?
He pressed this sentence in his heart and said: "I'm just making an analogy, and the specific situation depends on the results of the actual survey." As he spoke, he picked up a brown paper bag from the table, handed it to Zhao Zhen and said: "This is the same year as me, the results of Jia Zhengfu's survey of the Yellow River waterway, you take it back and take a look, it should help." ”
"Why didn't you take it out earlier?" Zhao Zongji said happily.
"What he said wasn't necessarily right." Chen Ke said lightly: "Even if it's right, you may not be able to listen." ”
Zhao Zongji is a smart person, knowing his attitude, which made Chen Ke unhappy, and apologized with a smile: "As long as it is right, I will definitely listen." ”
"Let's see, what conclusions he brings to you." After Chen Ke finished speaking, he was silent and asked Zhao Zongji to quickly flip through the report.
After reading it, Zhao Zongji said with a solemn face: "If it is really as he said, this eastward flow was once the old road of the Han Dynasty, then it is absolutely impossible to change it to the eastward stream!" ”
"Well said!" Chen Ke showed a knowing smile, this is the Zhao Zongji he wanted to see.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sending the nervous Zhao Zongji away, Chen Ke returned to the back house, and the sound of the flute ensemble came from his ears.
He followed the sound, and saw the rockery, beside the stone table under the pine tree, sandalwood curling, Su Xiaomei stroking the qin, Wang Xun playing the flute, and playing beautiful music in a seamless ensemble. Liu Yue'e and Du Qingshuang sat on the side, listening attentively.
Chen Ke stopped to listen, and it was not until the end of the song that he clapped his hands and smiled: "What a song "Youlan Cao", it can comfort the master's spirit in the sky." ”
Hearing the voice, the fourth girl found out that he was coming, and Wang Wei quickly got up and saluted.
"This is the son-in-law of the Salt and Iron Envoy King," the little sister introduced him with a smile: "On the day of the wedding, the maid who was still a concubine came. ”
"Miss Wang Wei and I have met for a long time." Chen Ke arched his hand with a smile and said, "She also took the school exam for me." ”
"The little woman is not self-sufficient, and the class has an axe," Wang Wei glanced at Chen Ke with a complicated expression, and Shi Li apologized: "I beg your forgiveness." ”
"The little lady doesn't need to be careful," Chen Ke said with a smile: "Poetry fans are also happy in it." ”
"Your Excellency." Wang Wei saluted again.
"I'm just passing by, stopping when I hear the fairy sound, and don't disturb your Yaxing." Chen Ke said goodbye.
"Sit down and listen." The little sister greeted her.
"No, I have something to go out." Chen Ke smiled: "Can you lend Yue'e to me?" ”
After tea, Chen Ke and Liu Yue'e changed into civilian clothes and went to the street from the back door in a car.
"What are we going to do?" Being able to come out alone with Chen Ke, Liu Yue'e was very excited.
"Date." Chen Ke smiled and kissed her lightly on the cheek: "It's better than listening to them squeak, right?" ”
"What a 'squeak', that's a piano and flute ensemble!" Liu Yue'e only understood when she spoke, and said with a pink fist: "You mean, are they playing the piano to the cow?" ”
"Don't think about it, okay?" Chen Ke hurriedly cleared his eyes and said: "It's me who can't appreciate it, I'm a cow, okay?" "In the face of violence, everything seems so powerless.
"Hmph...... Liu Yue'e shook Bai Shengsheng's fist threateningly, and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm really in the way there." I'm not there, Sister Qingshuang can sing, if I'm here, she's afraid that I'll be embarrassed, so she sits with me and listens. ”
"Next time, can you dance for them?" Chen Ke said with a smile.
"I can only dance with a sword." Liu Yue'e sighed and said, "Alas, it's superfluous at all. ”
"That's just ......," Chen Ke laughed, "just accompany me to work." ”
"Huh?" Liu Yue's eyes widened and said, "Are we going to the Martial Arts Academy?" ”
"Yes," Chen Ke nodded.
"Is it really possible?" Liu Yue's eyes lit up, and she said and said with deflatedness: "You're not afraid that people will be known and impeached?" ”
"If there are too many lice, don't bite." Chen Ke shook his head and smiled: "They can't get used to it? Just get used to it. After a pause, he said: "Besides, you are dressed as a man, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake." ”
"Great!" Liu Yue'e patronized and went excitedly, but she didn't hear that Chen Ke was teasing her again-
