Gu Yanzhang said: "According to the regulations of the capital water supervision, the rest of the water section is not concerned for the time being, starting from the Jingshi Shangshanmen, to the Huaikou of Sizhou, which is complex, there are high mountains, river valleys, low streams, farmland, small lakes, especially a lot of farmland, and there are many people living in this place, I don't know how deep the silt should be dug up and filled in this section, and where should it be filled after being transported away? ”

Fan Yaochen was originally just standing, and when he heard his two questions, he straightened his back a little, and said: "It has been clearly stated in the regulations, when it is divided into sections, thirty miles is a section, and when you see the high ground, you will dig deep mud, and if you see the low ground, you will dig shallow mud, or you should adapt measures to local conditions, and it is not good to give the exact depth." ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded and said: "It's really not good to distinguish the depth, but if you don't distinguish the depth, when you have to act, it will be too late, once you have a business trip, it will be like what Huang Xianggong said, I am afraid that it will damage the good land and houses and make the people suffer." ”

It seems that he is completely standing in Huang Zhaoliang's place.

Empress Dowager Yang was confused and a little displeased when she heard this, and asked: "Why do you want to divide the depths, dig deep together, and remove all the silt, but can't you?" ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded and said, "It's really not okay to return to the Queen Mother." ”

He thought about it, but because he was afraid of verbal explanation, he couldn't explain clearly, so he turned around, looked around the hall, pointed to a few stone steps not far away, and said to the Empress Dowager Yang: "The Empress Dowager, look at that staircase." ”

Empress Dowager Yang frowned and said, "What does it have to do with the ladder?" ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "If you want to flow water down the ladder, it is naturally not difficult, but if you want to make water flow from the flat ground to the top of the ladder, but it is not possible, dare to ask the Queen Mother, yes or no?" ”

Empress Dowager Yang felt funny in her heart.

Such a question can be answered by a three-year-old child, so what is there to ask?

He immediately said: "Naturally, but what does this have to do with the depth of the silt excavation?" ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "Just like Weichen said, the Beijing master is on the good door, to Sizhou Huaikou, which is changeable, many places, but separated by a mile or two, the terrain is like this ladder in general, there are high and low, water from the high to the bottom of the flow, this is the principle of heaven, manpower is difficult to shake, but the bottom of the river, but not necessarily the same as the ground, naturally there are high and low, because of the different siltation everywhere, the ladder is like this up and down in general, but if the silt is dug up, with the original potential, it is very likely that the highland becomes low, The transformation of lowland into highland may not be the same as the current current. ”

When he said this, he assumed again: "The minister asked the queen mother to imagine what would happen if the river originally ran from west to east, and suddenly encountered the original lowland turning into high ground in the east? ”

Empress Dowager Yang already half-understood, furrowed her eyebrows, and said, "If you meet the high ground, you naturally can't get by." ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded and said: "Exactly, when you encounter the high ground, you will inevitably have to go against the current, once you go against the current, the momentum of the river cannot be stopped, and it is naturally impossible to fall back, so you can only go up to the bottom of the river first, cover the fields and houses, until you exceed the momentum of the high ground in front of you, and then merge into a tributary and continue to flow down." ”

His analogy is very simple, Empress Dowager Yang can understand it as soon as she hears it, and her head doesn't hurt anymore, as if she has a feeling of empowerment.

Oh, yes! I see! I see!

In fact, this river matter is not very difficult!

Why can't others talk well?!

There is also a water supervisor in the capital, and a charter has come out, and the writing is so complicated that she can't understand it, how can she approve it!

Could it be that the people who are responsible for this matter at the bottom can understand everyone?

She didn't believe it!

However, I heard that someone gave a straightforward and simple example, and at this time, she looked at Gu Yanzhang who was close in front of her, but after a moment's effort, her senses were completely different.

Jun is still handsome, but not the kind of Jun when he first looked at him.

It's a kind of low-key Jun, calm Jun, unpretentious Jun.

Although he is young, he is young, and he is even more different from Zhang Hu's youth.

How can heroes be judged by their age?

When he asked Zhu Baoshi just now, he also told himself that he had made great contributions in front of the battle early on, and he had not been in high school at that time, so he was recommended to be an official, but he refused to be an official in order to take the top prize.

can read and do things, how can she be an ordinary person, how can she look at her with the eyes of an ordinary person!

When everyone else is immersed in studying, he is doing practical things outside, how can such twenty or thirty be compared with the twenty or thirty of others?

Thinking about it, he is only in his twenties and thirties, and he can also be regarded as a courtier in his forties and fifties.

Empress Dowager Yang couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart.

There are always exceptions to everything, the emperor thinks it is good, everyone grabs it, naturally there is his delicious food, and he is too suspicious.

Thinking like this, she had a whimsical thought in her head.

- This Gu Qing, although he is also very suitable for doing practical things, is obviously more suitable for being a gentleman.

Not only is it suitable for teaching the fourth brother, but also should communicate more with the rest of the courtiers, everyone speaks so seriously, how can he criticize that chapter so hard every day? ?

She does not reflect that she is not familiar with political affairs, does not know words, and is too shallow in knowledge, but blames others for not speaking "seriously".

Once the thought is clear, Empress Dowager Yang looks at Gu Yanzhang again, because he is still young after all, it is inevitable that he will have a feeling of looking at his children, how to look at it, how pleasing to the eye, and can't help but say: "Indeed, as Gu Yanzhang said, the dredging of the Bianqu, the depth of the silt to be dug is really very important, if it is flooded and damaged the fertile land, it is really a waste of money and labor, I don't know what Fan Qing can do?" ”

Although Fan Yaochen didn't have any expression on his face, he secretly complained in his heart.

What else can be done about this?

If there is enough time, you can measure it carefully, but now that the time is rushing, there is really no other good way.

He hesitated for a moment, but still had to say: "At present, it is too hasty, so I can only choose the next strategy, move the people near this section of the canal, and in the future, the silt will be cleared out, and new acres of land will be obtained, and then the new fields will be replenished to them." ”

Speaking of this, there is no need for Huang Zhaoliang and Sun Bian to speak, Fan Yaochen also knew that it was very inappropriate, so he had to add: "Actually, this matter was supposed to be handed over to Gu Yanzhang. ”

Fu Cai turned to Gu Yanzhang and asked, "I don't know if you have a good plan?" ”

Kicked the question back again.

This time, even Empress Dowager Yang was a little unhappy.

From beginning to end, I heard Fan Yaochen speak, although he knew that there were still problems, but such a big omission, if this Gu Yanzhang didn't mention it this time, he didn't say it, and waited until the person arrived, did he ask him to solve it?

What if it can't be solved?
