Chapter 349 River Governance

Wen Qingwu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, yes, she was just a woman, even if Li Ke took her out, what could she do?

Without power or power, even if the flood floods the palace, she can only be helpless, and let them control life and death by those in power. Flash Dance

"At least if the prince is willing to believe me, I may be able to give some advice." Wen Qingwu said slowly.

Once, when she was studying local architecture and construction, her husband showed a group of them the map of the imperial palace in Chang'an City as a demonstration, and later gave the gazetteers and maps of various dynasties and dynasties, as well as the construction of rivers and canals.

Stress on water conservancy construction and management of drought and flood disasters.

Although it was in vain for him to use all these things later, if she could, she still couldn't help but want to try it in this life.

It's more meaningful than nesting in this three-foot high wall.

Li Ke looked at Wen Qingwu's contemplative appearance, very serious. I couldn't bear to refuse, so I asked tentatively, "Have you ever seen flood management?" ā€

Wen Qingwu thought for a moment before replying: "When I was at home before, I saw Daddy talking to his colleagues about the management of water conservancy and rivers. ā€

Li Ke took two sips of tea, then put it down, was silent for a moment, and said, "If you want to see it, I'll take you to take a look." My father and the emperor are all in the capital of Hao, and the resettlement and management of the victims of Luoyang are temporarily handed over to me. Flash dance is just this big flood, just Luoyang City reported more than 6,000 people died, the disaster is really dangerous, if you go out, you must follow me around and don't walk around, otherwise if something accidentally goes wrong, it will be a loss of life. ā€

Wen Qingwu saw that Li Ke was relieved, and the solemnity on his face was removed, "Naturally, I will change into men's clothes and go out with you to have a look." Never leave you half a step. ā€

Li Ke nodded, and stretched out his hand to Wen Qingwu across the table, "Come here." ā€

Seeing this, Wen Qingwu just paused, and without thinking too much, he stood up, put his hand in Li Ke's palm, and let him lead him around the table and sit on the futon beside him.

"You said that there were more than 6,000 people in Luoyang City. Can the number of casualties on the local state roads be reported? Wen Qingwu sat down against Li Ke and asked with his head sideways.

Li Ke nodded, "In the Central Plains and south, as well as on the other side of Henan Province, the total number of casualties reported is about 100,000 households, but the specific number of people who died due to the flood has not yet been counted. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and hugged Wen Qingwu in his arms, and said after thinking about it: "But you don't have to worry too much about these, when the disaster passes, the treasury will allocate silver to resettle, according to the law of Tianzhou, those who die due to natural disasters, the court will subsidize the silver according to the capitation, and the local ruling officials will report to the top, and then the central government will issue an order to the nearest army to rebuild the eaves of the houses of the victims." 35xsā€

Saying that, Li Ke paused, "The houses built by the imperial court are more than ten times better than the houses they live in on weekdays, and the subsidized silver is also more than the lifetime savings of many poor families. Speaking of which, there are many ordinary people who are hoping that they will not be affected. ā€

Wen Qingwu leaned on Li Ke's arms, frowned when he heard the words, and looked at him in disbelief: "There are still such selfish people? ā€

"Human nature is selfish." Li Ke said, his tone was calm and calm, and he couldn't hear what emotions such a person made him. "What is really pitiful is those who do not have a household registration in Tianzhou, who can only become duckweed after a natural disaster, and let God kill and take it away."

"And even more pitiful, are the people who died in the disaster." Wen Qingwu let out a long sigh, "It is the death of these people that has given the survivors more sufficient imperial court materials for the distribution of imperial court materials. ā€

Rather, if a disaster comes, no one dies. Maybe the imperial court just asked the local officials to settle down and give condolences again. Someone must die in order for the court to see it squarely. The more people who die, the more they care.

"It's just too much injustice, to put it simply. In the end, most of the people who benefited were from the villages of the plains, and those who lived in the mountains suffered the most casualties, but received the least subsidies. Wen Qingwu thought of the experience of his previous life and sighed casually.

Li Ke wondered, "How do you say this?" "He knew that the damage was more serious, but for some reason the subsidy was less.

Wen Qingwu said slowly: "Usually heavy rain for days, if it is a large area of heavy rain in the Central Plains, the situation of floods everywhere, the disaster in the plains can only be solved by waterway dredging and management, and the casualties can also be transferred in time." Mountains are different, once there is a flood, it is a flash flood. The river channel in the mountain is undulating, the terrain structure is complex, the river slope is steep and gentle, the water level is different, and the amplitude of flood and drought is also very large. Most of the villages and towns of the mountain people are located on both sides of the river ditch, and the flash flood together is a catastrophe. And this is not the most serious, if the green cover in the mountains is not enough, the water and soil will flow down the flood, forming a mudslide, a flood is a village, a flood is a city. ā€

Li Ke listened to Wen Qingwu's slow and clear explanation, and when she finished speaking, he looked at Wen Qingwu in shock, he thought that the flood she was worried about was just worry, but he never thought that she knew so much about river management and similar and different terrains.

After Wen Qingwu finished speaking, he spread his hands, "Once the people of the village die, there is no one to save if you want to save it." Therefore, if you calculate it, the entire post-disaster people's livelihood will be reshaped, and the silver needed in the mountains will be less than three-thirds of the plains. ā€

Although Tianzhou is a large country in the Central Plains, there are also many mountains. That's 40% of the country's land area. ā€

After speaking, he saw Li Ke's face, "What's wrong?" Is that wrong? ā€

Li Ke shook his head, then looked at Wen Qingwu and muttered, "What kind of books did you read in the hall all day?" ā€

"I read everything." Wen Qingwu said, adjusted his sitting posture, and said to Li Ke: "Speaking of mountain floods, Tianzhou mountain torrent type river"

"Alright, alright." Li Ke brought Wen Qingwu, who was sitting upright, back, "I'm in charge of this matter, and there won't be a big deal." I don't even understand any more of you. He said half-jokingly.

Although he also studied politics and military affairs, he did not have a detailed understanding of the country's river management and water conservancy construction. In his position, if he hadn't happened to encounter this flood in Luoyang City this time, he would not have had the opportunity to come into contact with these.

It's just a little bit of the skin that he knows, and it's just a little bit of what he listened to in the past, and what the capital water supervisor who recently came from the capital city of Ho instilled in his ears every day.

"Besides, the world has always been like this. I'm okay every day, and in the past, those people died when they died, but no one asked more. Even the imperial court may not really do practical things to help the subsidy catch up with this. ā€

Wen Qingwu listened to Li Ke's words, leaned closer, and let out a long sigh after he finished speaking.

Not only in the past, but also in the future, those dynasties, except when they were in their prime, were not as good as they are today.
