"Da Lang, Erlang, your father is not good, I am measuring, and the river is decisive over there in Yunzhou." Song Jiudao.

Wang Xianjun and Wang Xianrui had sad faces, it was precisely because of this that their fathers, including Wang Renzhen, were worried and afraid. Song Jiu said again: "I am very disdainful of your father's behavior, but the river decision has nothing to do with your father. ”

After speaking, he ran in the direction of the palace.

The brothers of the Wang family are incomprehensible, and they can't move wherever they stand.

Song Jiu entered the palace, not only others, but also brought a lot of soil, soil samples taken from all over the place. Zhao Kuangyin met him in the political affairs hall, dozens of important ministers were there, most of them were known to Song Jiu, but they couldn't be named.

Song Jiu began to pinch the mud, first put the map on the ground, pinched the mud against the map, and used different soil in different areas to pinch out the terrain on both sides of the Yellow River. It took a long time for the eunuch to fetch water, pour it from above, and flow it below. Only then did he say: "Your Majesty, the Yellow River is full of sediment, and Weichen has measured that one square square meter of river water can store up to one stone of sediment." ”

I'm afraid that the minister doesn't know the concept of one square meter, and he also measured a wooden frame with a ruler, and built a volume of one square meter, which is not very large, and what kind of concept is it that the river contains 100 catties of sediment in this volume? But everyone still didn't quite understand, and Song Jiu said: "The river is getting higher and higher, and the people have to artificially raise the embankment. ”

After that, sprinkle sand into the model's riverbed and raise the embankment. It's just a small model, and when it's high enough to a certain point, this kind of intuitiveness still makes everyone dazzled. Song Jiu said: "So the higher the embankment, the more dangerous it is, and often in areas where the embankment is slightly weaker, the river flood is large. The embankment will burst. This is the reason for many accidents in the river over the years. If you want nothing to happen, you can only send officials to measure it during the winter leisure. Thicken and heighten the weak lots. But this is a blockade strategy, and there will be more serious things in the end. ”

Song Jiu began to increase the terrain on both sides of the river embankment. Said: "Every time something happens, the river is three or four emperor feet deep, that is, two or three hundred catties of soil can be deposited in an area of one emperor ruler. This has the advantage of improving the weak soil after the disaster, and the salinity content of many saline fields can be washed away, and after each disaster, the flood area will have a good harvest the following year, even for decades. This is a temporary benefit, but there is a serious crisis lurking in between. Your Majesty, please take a look. From Yunzhou to the east, there are many mountains on both sides of the Yellow River, which is not easy to collapse. Only Yunzhou to Mengzhou is a plain area, so it has become a disaster-prone area. No matter what happens, the embankment will be raised infinitely, and the river will not be discharged, and the embankment in some weak sections will be forcibly washed down, and the terrain on both sides will be raised every time it collapses. If all the terrain is raised by a few rulers, it doesn't matter, the flooded area is critical. Or the more it is inundated, the higher it rises, and the areas that are not inundated, or the areas where the river drains quickly, are still very low. These higher places at the back of the river hinder the flow of the river, so it spontaneously looks lower to the sea. What is the lowest point? ”

Use a wooden pole to make an arrow to mark Hebei. Write a few words at the tip, Youzhou South, Juma River estuary.

There is no one who is stupid. Zhao Kuangyin's face changed sharply and said, "Really? ”

"It won't be a hundred years. But it's not terrible, Weichen once rode his horse and galloped. I went to the foothills of Taihang Mountain, saw the water of Taihang, the same heavy sediment content, but not as good as the Yellow River, once the Yellow River was diverted and injected into the weak water system of Hebei, coupled with the water of the Yellow River, Hebei will usher in a disaster. Then quickly elevated. The Yellow River can't go smoothly, and then it will find its own way and ...... to the south" Song Jiu used a wooden pole to swing down to the southeast again, and wrote a word, the Yellow River enters the Huai, and from the Jianghuai into the sea.

"There are many plains on both sides of the Huai River, and the terrain is lower, and as soon as the Yellow River goes, then 20 boulders will be smashed on the head of a little lady...... Of course, there is nothing to do when it comes to the Huai River, it is a big deal to have nine disasters in two Huai ten years, but another problem has followed. Regardless of whether the Yellow River flows into the sea from Jingdong or from Hebei, because there is no shortage of river water for irrigation, or the river water gap is scoured, some silt can be brought on the saline-alkali land, and crops can also be grown. But the Yellow River into the Huai, not only the Huaihe River Plain is more disasters, Hebei and Jingdong water system lack of irrigation water, another shortcoming follows, the soil is gradually weathered, and it itself has a heavy sand content, then from the capital, all the way to the sea, everywhere is saline-alkali land, tens of thousands of miles in the north will become barren land. ”

Zhao Pu said: "Song Jiu, this is not for fun. ”

"Zhao Xianggong, who dares to talk about this matter? If you don't believe it, you can bring my data and this statement to the officials, and let the officials carefully inspect it, see the sediment content of the river, look at the soil composition on both banks, measure the height, and then think about it carefully. ”

"Wang Quanbin ......"

"Your Majesty, everything Wang Quanbin did in Bashu, it is not a pity to die a thousand times, according to the law, it should be beheaded, don't use the Yellow River to make excuses, that is no different from the Han Prince Wu Gu case. The law is based on facts, and evidence is required to make judgments. This is especially true of governing the country, and the most important thing is to seek truth. If they are not truth-seeking, the ministers will be impeached indiscriminately and confuse the public, and the ministers will act recklessly, and they can also find excuses to justify themselves. The country is in disarray. ”

Everyone was silent, Song Jiu said very clearly, if you want to kill Wang Quanbin, it is enough to rely on his crimes, don't use natural disasters to lead. In fact, this is very important, and Sima Guang will use natural disasters to kill Wang Anshi in the future.

Zhao Kuangyin was satisfied, and he also knew how to deal with Wang Quanbin, but when a new question came out, he looked at the model hesitantly and asked: "Song Qing, there is a way to control the river." ”

Song Jiu was changed to Song Qing.

"There is a policy, but it is not a policy, Guanzhong should return farmland to forests, and let the party members and Tubo people return grazing land to forests, so that the Yellow River will be clear, and the Yellow River will not become a hazard."

"I didn't say it," Zhao Kuangyi said. Don't want the party and the Tubo people, Guanzhong is still a big warehouse in the Song Dynasty, how to return farmland to forests? Can the country afford it?

"Two kings, so it's not a strategy. And the most difficult thing is this," Song Jiu sprinkled a lot of sediment, began to rush and slowly, and said: "Everyone has also seen, if the water rushes quickly, some of the sediment will rush into the sea, if the water is slow, the river will precipitate a lot of sediment, that is, it cannot divide the water, once the water is divided to slow down the river, the sediment will settle faster, and a greater disaster will come, which is the diversion of the Yellow River...... However, the possibility of river bursting is even more likely to be washed by the water and sand. ”

Everyone was skeptical. However, the four words of the Yellow River diversion made everyone's faces heavy when they heard it, and it was not a man-made diversion. If the river diverts its course, this floods. How many areas, how many people will be drowned?

Song Jiu said: "Your Majesty, Wechen's task is completed, and Wechen wants to go home." ”

Let me see it, I also read it, and the cause of the frequent accidents in the river has also been found, and how to control the river has nothing to do with me.

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand with a smile and asked him to go back.

The big guys looked at this model together in a daze, and Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Can Song Jiu's words come true?" ”

That one dares to answer?

Zhao Kuangyin rubbed his head. said: "After the edict is issued, when the river flood comes, it will be patrolled often, and then officials will be sent to inspect the weak points of the river embankment, and it will be heightened and thickened in winter leisure. ”

After this edict, he rubbed his head again, this edict was the edict that Song Jiu was most worried about, that is, the method of controlling the water, so he said: "Zeping, you send someone over again and put this model on the plate." Put it in the middle book, send officials to inspect it, finish it, and then all the secretaries work together. See what you can do. ”

Zhao Kuangyin asked the ministers to step down, left Zhao Pu behind, and asked Zhao Pu: "Zeping." What do you think of how to deal with Wang Quanbin? ”

"But it depends on the decision of the official family, whether you can kill or stay."

Zhao Pu had already said what he meant. They are all shouting to kill, but he is shouting that he can kill and stay. In fact, it is to stay.

"Song Jiu shouted to kill, starting from the fate of the people of Bashu, and the ministers shouted to kill because of ......" Qian Bao Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to say it, and said: "Bashu has also suffered misfortune, and killing will not help, but in the future, the generals will think that I am Tang Zhuangzong and Wang Quanbin is Guo Chongtao, and they will not do their best for me." ”

This Guo Chongtao is the most bullish general under Li Cunqiao, and the Later Tang Dynasty attacked Bianzhou was his advice, Liang and Jin confronted each other for forty years, and the Later Tang Dynasty destroyed Liang in eight days. That is, if you rebel, you will not die! So he led an army of 60,000 to attack Qianshu, and the time was not long, and he took Qianshu in 68 days. However, soon after, he was framed by Li Congxi, Xiang Yanhei, Ma Yanqi and Empress Liu, and died with a cane, killing three sons and surviving two young sons.

As soon as Guo Chongtao died, the follow-up had a far-reaching impact, and even directly led to the demise of the Later Tang Dynasty.

This result is the last thing Zhao Kuangyin wants to see, but he is also making a similar mistake, just not so obvious......

Zhao Kuangyin mentioned Guo Chongtao, Zhao Pu obviously understood, and said: "Official, then punish it slightly." ”

Zhao Kuangyin recalled the three of them back to the capital, and asked Wang Renzhen first, Wang Renzhen saw that the situation was not good, and pushed the generals to blame, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Let me ask you, Nana Li Tingjun prostitute, opened the Fengde Treasury to take the gold treasure, is it Wang Quanbin who did it?" ”

Wang Renzhen couldn't answer.

"Let me ask you again, you are not at fault for killing and surrendering prisoners? Have you been greedy in Yizhou? In the past, when you and I commented on Song Jiu, you said that this son is available, but he is lazy and greedy, and if he is given heavy power, he is afraid that he will be negligent, so it is better to observe it. I thought it was, too. Today, it seems that he is a lazy boy, and you are too far behind him. ”

Wang Renzhen's head finally lowered and said, "Your Majesty, I made a mistake. ”

He is a hero of the overlord, and he used to be called the official family, but now he is called His Majesty. Zhao Kuangyin said: "You go down first." ”

Then send the Yushitai to check the number of Wang Quanbin's greed, the small accounts are not easy to check, the large accounts are easy to check, the Yushitai did not announce it, but there is some news circulating in the capital, saying that Wang Quanbin has embezzled more than 600,000 yuan of money and silk. This made a group of Wenchen even more crazy, Song Jiu said how much money, that was later, and now the entire Song Dynasty has a national income of more than 20 million a year, but it is not money, one is divided by two. That is, what Wang Quanbin personally embezzled, which is equivalent to one-twentieth of the income of the 200 state capitals of the entire Song Dynasty. Song Jiu said that he couldn't talk about natural disasters, but the ministers were not convinced, and continued to use natural disasters to ask Zhao Kuangyin to kill Wang Quanbin. Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict, and he couldn't check it anymore, and then he put it himself, and the ministers could also stop the court and force themselves to kill Wang Quanbin...... The country is embraced by Japan, and it is said that it hides more than 167,700 pieces of gold, silver, rhino jade, and money and silk. He also opened the Fengde Treasury without permission, resulting in the loss of more than 281,000 yuan. He then ordered the Zhongshu Sect to summon the litigants to cross-examine the matter. And Quan Bin and others are all ambushed. He ordered the Imperial Historical Observatory to gather civil and military officials in the court to discuss his crimes.

Not more than 660,000 yuan, but 448,000 yuan.

Where does this money come and go? In fact, you can understand at a glance, don't talk about small accounts, just say that the money for the placement of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Zhao Kuangyin gave each soldier ten thousand yuan, that is, ten yuan, plus the food and clothing needed all the way, with this money, it is enough to make the soldiers come to the capital with a happy heart. However, less than half of Wang Quanbin's troops were sent down, and after layers of deductions, some of the troops were even less than a quarter or a fifth in their hands. couldn't go to the capital at all, which forced hundreds of thousands of troops to plot together. Half of this money goes into Wang Quanbin's pocket, and this sum alone will reach at least 200,000 yuan. However, there is not a word in the edict, let alone other small accounts.

But there are more than 440,000, which is enough.

The ministers didn't know that Zhao Kuangyin was buried, so they gathered together and discussed that Wang Quanbin should die. At this juncture, even Zhao Pu didn't dare to publicly say that Wang Quanbin should live. Zhao Kuangyin listened silently, and Lao Wang lowered his head sadly. After a long time, Zhao Kuangyin asked everyone to go down together. Subsequently, an edict came down, and Wang Quanbin, Wang Renzhen, and Cui Yanjin were all demoted, and the more than 400,000 yuan of money and treasures embezzled by Wang Quanbin were handed over to the state treasury.

In fact, there are more than that, even more than 700,000, but there are not so many in Wang Quanbin's hands, he also has to beat some people, if he says more than 600,000 and asks him to hand it over, it is to force Wang Quanbin to commit suicide. Only paid more than 400,000 yuan, and Wang Quanbin could still pay tens of thousands of yuan. It should be rewarded for its merits.

This is the pit where Zhao Kuangyin was buried.

Otherwise, if more than 600,000 yuan is announced, then more than 600,000 yuan will be investigated, where will Lao Wang have it?

The main thing is money, the money is gone, and the opposition disappears together.

Cui Yanjin and Wang Renzhen did not check it, and they made a small profit, only tens of thousands of dollars. If the official is demoted, there is no point in checking again. Moreover, fighting to make money is still the main driving force of the current Song army.

Lao Wang was shocked and asked his two sons to come to thank him, and Song Jiu also said that he should be killed, but he did not use natural disasters to say that he should be killed, otherwise his life would not be saved this time. Song Jiu refused and said, "Da Lang, Erlang, if you take General Wang's various actions, you still deserve to die." I'm just being realistic, don't thank me. Our personal relations are personal friends, and our business is public affairs. ”

Maybe Zhao Kuangyin had Zhao Kuangyin's mistakes and his thoughts, but Song Jiu still thought that not killing Wang Quanbin was a serious mistake.

Who is not good to prove, unless Song Jiu has good historical knowledge and kills Wang Quanbin, the two are compared.

Wang Xianjun's face was gloomy, and he couldn't attack. Compared to those Wenchen, Song Jiu is obviously much cuter. At this moment, Brother Pan Weide broke in, and when he saw Brother Wang Xianjun, Pan Weide patted Wang Xianjun on the shoulder and said, "Don't blame Song Jiu, if there is no Song Jiu, your father will not be protected this time." Although Your Majesty is punished, but not all of them are punished, your family still has more money than mine. ”

These two bastards are unreasonable, Song Jiujiu is their brother-in-law, and they will also help Song Jiu, and the Wang brothers said goodbye.

Pan Weide said: "Jiulang, my father wrote back and scolded us miserably. (To be continued......)
