Thousands of miles of blue waves, thousands of miles of verdant green.

The sky was full of white clouds that could not hide a touch of deep blue, and a group of big birds that spent the winter in the south once again spread their wings and flew into the sky, through layers of clouds, towards their hometown in the north.

Under the clouds, a huge water conservancy project that first started in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Central Plains and developed under the rule of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Like a dragon, it coils horizontally and bends from south to north on the earth, and countless thin branches are like the broken body of the dragon, bursting out of the blood. Irrigation not only nourishes the millions of hectares of fertile land on both sides of the strait, but also maintains the life of the vicissitudes of life between millions of fields.

Canglong connects the great rivers that started in the flood era, and the land of thousands of miles has been closely linked since then, growing from the flood tribe to the towering tree of a nation.

The river is clear, and the river is yellow.

At present, in the Tong Kongs on both sides of the wild goose flock returning to the north, Canglong is eroded by more than half of the Yellow Dragon, and the lake called Hongze has expanded for hundreds of miles, spanning Huai'an Mansion and Fengyang Mansion in Zhili Road.

There are signs of incurring Shili Yangzhou.

A huge fleet is sailing from south to north.

In front of it, there are three big boats that go to the river, and the two sides are equipped with guns to open the way, and the fast boats around the river drive away the small boats of the merchants and people in the river.

On the back side, a total of 10 huge cargo ships loaded with 5,000 quintals were connected, and on both sides were more trooped fast ships, which were waiting in groups to guard against lawlessness on both sides of the strait.

At the end of the fleet, there were three more gunned warships.

Behind the three warships in front of the team, there was a nine-masted and twelve-sailed Daming treasure ship, walking on the river, as if walking on the ground, without any waves. (The use of treasure boats in inland rivers has not been verified, and this is only an artistic effect)

Dressed in a flying fish suit and wearing an embroidered spring knife at his waist, the brocade guards stood on both sides of the ship, their eyes threatening both sides of the canal, and strictly preventing them from approaching.

On the banks of the river, a large number of rangers spread out for thirty miles, reporting information on both sides at any time.

This is the standard that has been in place since the fleet sailed from the Yangtze River into the Grand Canal and crossed the boundary of Yangzhou Prefecture.

On the belvedere on the bow of the treasure ship.

A group of brocade-clad officials and ironclad generals surrounded the young man dressed in trolling.

"Since Sanmenxia, the Yellow River has suddenly opened up its waterways, and the terrain is flat, merging into the Henan Plain. It flows through Henan, Huaiqing, Kaifeng, Guide, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Huai'an, and merges with the Huai River at Hongze Lake, and flows east through the mouth of the Huai River to join the East China Sea."

"When the ground is flat, the water flow changes from rapid to slow, the sand and gravel in Guanzhong pass and dissolve in the water of the big river, and the sediment never accumulates in the Weinan Plain in Guanzhong.

After Sanmenxia, the water flow slows down suddenly, the sediment is not washed by the rapid water, day after day, and finally there is now a big river higher than the two banks, and the history of Kaifeng is buried in the city several times.

The downstream is even more overwhelmed, with annual flood peaks, annual bursts, salinity at the mouth of the sea, and even signs of backflow and erosion of the riverbed, and the cost of cleaning up the sea outlet in Huai'an Province is no less than 100,000 yuan per year."

"Your Royal Highness sits in Kaifeng this time, cleans up the floods, and solves the problem of the collapse of the great river, all these things cannot be ignored, from top to bottom, thousands of miles everywhere need the imperial court to spend a lot of money and make great efforts, so that it can become peaceful for hundreds of generations, tame the Yellow Dragon, and the people on both sides of the river."

On the lookout at the bow of the treasure ship, Pan Deshan, a Dushui Qing official of the Ministry of Works, dressed in a five-grade white pheasant and green robe of the Ming Dynasty, bowed down and hugged his fists, his expression was grim, his tone was gentle, and his narration was reasonable.

….

In the center of everyone's line of sight, at the front of the belvedere, Zhu Yunxi, who was dressed in a trolling and facing the river breeze, sighed softly.

In front of me, it is the Yellow River flood this time, and after the two executions of the embankment in Lankao County, Hongze Lake has expanded for hundreds of miles.

The water that flows from the Yellow River into Hongze washes away the clear water from the Huai River to Hongze in the west, and countless broken branches and broken trees float on the water.

Looking out at the shore of the lake in the distance, there are wisps of green smoke from home.

Even if it was dozens of miles away, Zhu Yunxi still seemed to be able to hear the crying sound buried under the green smoke.

He silently retracted his gaze, and turned his head to look at Pan Deshan, the Ministry of Works, who was standing beside him with his fists low.

Among the five Dushui Qing officials of the Ministry of Industry, this time it was Pan Deshan who followed him out of Beijing.

Speaking of which, after many years, the Ming Dynasty will have a famous minister who governs the river, a complete technical minister, who is also surnamed Pan.

The prince of the Ming Dynasty, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the right capital of the Imperial History, the author of "A List of River Defense", "Two Rivers Guanjian", "Chen Duan Dagong Record", "Liuyutang Collection" and many other famous texts of Pan Jitao.

I just don't know if Pan Deshan, the current Minister of Industry who is standing in front of him, has anything to do with the famous minister of river governance, Pan Jitao.

"Where did Pan Langzhong come from?"

Zhu Yunxi asked about Pan Deshan's origin in public for no reason.

The surrounding officials of the various ministries and departments around him couldn't help but move their eyes to Pan Deshan, who was standing in front of Taisun.

This guy has fallen into the eyes of the grandson?

Tian Mai, who was also with him, quietly left the observation deck.

He needs people to find out about this Pan Deshan's life and past, and when the grandson needs it, he can hand it over to the grandson to read.

In front of the belvedere, Pan Deshan was a little nervous.

On this trip, Taisun asked the Ministry of Industry to send someone, and he himself stood up in front of Shangshu to express his position.

Taisun's question made Pan Deshan puzzled for a while.

But he still said in a low voice: "Back to Your Highness, the minister is from Wucheng County, Huzhou Prefecture. In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Yichou Ke was born as a Jinshi."

Tongjinshi has done the five products of the Ministry of Works, all the water Qing officials in the Langzhong?

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and he already understood in his heart that it was obvious that Pan Deshan was probably also a capable person.

Like Ren Hengtai, who has become a member of the Ming Dynasty in just over ten years, they all have Jinshi and even Sanding Jia as a dependent.

And Tongjinshi, the reason why he took this name is because the imperial court needs more talents to become officials, in fact, it is naturally one level lower than those who were born in Sanding Jia and Jinshi.

Roughly equivalent to the comparison of postdocs, PhDs and masters?

Zhu Yunxi shook his head, but it was obvious that Pan Deshan, who was born in the same jinshi, was able to take the imperial examination in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, and it took less than ten years for him to achieve the position of the chief of the five products of the Ministry of Labor.

And his background in Huzhou Mansion......

It seems that Pan Jitao is from Huzhou Mansion.

As for which county in Huzhou, Zhu Yunxi really couldn't remember.

….

Pan Deshan's heart became more and more nervous at the moment, and Taisun had not spoken for a while since he asked a question and replied.

Could it be that he was born in Huzhou Mansion and made his grandson disliked?

And yet the next moment.

Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand and put his hand on Pan Deshan's shoulder, and then turned to the very edge of the belvedere, and the two looked at the Hongze Baili Yellow Wave in front of them.

"Pan Langzhong, if you are alone to govern the river, Huai, and fortune, what can you do for the imperial court?"

Zhu Yunxi tried his best to calm his tone, so as not to scare Pan Deshan, who was caught by him.

But the others behind him were beating their hearts faster, and their eyes widened one by one.

What a big pot! What a big official! What a red crane in a big red robe!

If you do a good job of the princess Wandai, you can't do a good job of destroying the nine clans.

Pan Deshan trembled even more, and his eyes turned a little dullly to look at the imperial grandson who was close to him and stared at him with a smile.

There aren't a lot of ideas.

Pan Deshan shrank his head, and his waist was almost ninety degrees bent.

"Minister! There is a good way to tame the river!"

The corners of Zhu Yunxi's mouth were raised, his eyes were smiling, his hands were folded together, and he looked at Pan Deshan: "Pan Langzhong can speak freely."

Pan Deshan took a deep breath.

In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, he entered the government and entered the government

ministry, he has been an official of the Ministry of Industry for nine years.

Now, finally, there's a chance to put your fists and kicks to work!

Pan Deshan only felt that his heartbeat was about to rise to his throat.

And many of the accompanying officials on his side also held their breath in unison.

Everyone believes that as long as Pan Deshan, the five-grade Ministry of Works, answers well, and the answer is in line with His Royal Highness Taisun's wishes.

Left and right is a matter of being promoted to three levels in an instant.

Pan Deshan's mind quickly sorted out the experience and accumulation in the Dushui Qing Officials Division over the years.

Then he shook his whole body, and the whole person seemed to have changed his appearance, and his eyes were shining.

"Your Royal Highness, the land of the Central Plains, since the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, has been entangled with the great river, and the river has changed several times, wantonly Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Zhili and other places, and millions of subjects are all involved."

"The cause of the flooding of the Yellow River is above the Sanmenxia Gorge in the upper reaches, passing through the Weinan Plain in Guanzhong, and even reaching the source of the Xingzhu Sea. The water coming out of the source is a trembling and clear ice spring, without sediment, so there is no need to worry. The underwater Tianshan Plateau, and even Guanzhong, washed both sides of the river. Showers washed the mountains and forests, and the soil was not enough to protect.

For such a reason, the river has become a big river out of the pass, and even Sanmenxia, has been overwhelmed, and the river water is yellowed into pulp. Thousands of miles downstream, the riverbed has been too high in the past, and the embankment has been raised again and again, and it will collapse when it encounters flood peaks."

"The sage Dayu controls the water, not like the father, and if the blockage is sparse, the river will be tamed and China will multiply."

"The Western Han Jia Gong gave way, three strategies to control the river, extending to future generations, and the strategy of widening the river and flooding."

"The prince of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the embankment has not been diverted for 800 years, and the embankment from the south of Puyang City to the Bohai Sea has been built, and the Bianqu canal channel has been repaired, and the water gate of the Bianqu canal has been stabilized for 800 years."

"The former Yuan Jia Gonglu took care of the river and dredged it at the same time, and restored the old way. Its rule, the people of Li praise its Jialu River."

….

On the treasure boat, Pan Deshan counted one by one from ancient times to the present.

No one showed impatience to find out what Pander had done to manage the river.

Zhu Yunxi is also not bored.

This is the code of conduct and speech in officialdom at this time and even forever.

It is necessary to talk about history, to talk about the past, to have a historical summary, and then there will be an analysis of the present and the present, as well as the final conclusion.

In the distance, on the front-line warship, there were already bursts of drums.

This is the signal that the fleet is going to dock on the shore.

The sailors on the mast who looked like water monkeys also grabbed the top of the mast with one hand and waved the colorful flag with the other, sending the flag to the whole fleet to dock on the shore to rest.

While everyone waited quietly, Zhu Yunxi beckoned to the back of the crowd.

Yutian, the head of the Taisun Mansion who accompanied him, immediately turned around and took the teapot and bowl from the attendant's hand, trotted through the crowd, and sent it to the imperial grandson.

Zhu Yunxi moved his mouth and pointed to Pan Deshan in front of him.

"Let him drink."

Yutian didn't speak, nodded, filled the tea bowl with water, and sent it to Pan Deshan.

Pan Deshan looked at Yutian, the head of Taisun Mansion, who was smiling at him, with some surprise, and took the tea bowl: "Your Royal Highness, I have a great companion of Lao Yu."

Yutian snorted, watched Pan Deshan finish the tea in the tea bowl, then took the tea bowl back, and trotted through the crowd to the outside.

After drinking tea, Pan Deshan wiped his mouth, looked at the imperial grandson, and waved his finger at the Hongze Lake, which had been expanded for hundreds of miles in front of the fleet, and the Yellow River that was visible to the naked eye upstream.

"The ministers have read all the strategies of the ancients to govern the river, and they must think about my way to the river, and I think that the law of the ancients cannot be restored, and I should have the law of my dynasty to govern the river."

"The method of governing the river is not like the method of Jia Gong to let the Kuanhe River flood, this method cannot solve the situation that the riverbed in the lower reaches of Sanmenxia is too high and the sediment is silted."

"The minister also does not learn from Wang Gongjing and Jia Gonglu, and the minister wants to practice the law of Dayu dredging and change today's benefits. The ministers must do the work of using the river to govern the river, and solve the situation where the riverbed of the great river is raised every year, the embankment is heightened, the sediment is silted up year by year, and the people on both sides of the river are suffering from disasters!"

Right!

That's the smell!

Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up, his brows trembled involuntarily, and he had already decided in his heart that Pan Deshan, who was accompanied by the Ministry of Works, was the person he wanted.

Govern the river with the river!

Isn't that Pan Jitao's method?

It is also the most useful method that has been verified in the end, and even after the earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Central Plains, it is still being used and carried forward.

Standing on the bow of this treasure ship of the Hongwu Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunxi thought of the dams in the upper and lower reaches of the river many years later, and the dams that were spurned and criticized by countless people.

It is precisely with these national water conservancy projects that many people will remember in those years that the big river around them, before the new era, is flooded every year, bursts every year, and becomes a thousand miles every year.

They don't understand anything, they just know how to attack everything.

But they didn't know that the dams were just like the methods proposed by the ancient and modern people, using the river to govern the river, washing the riverbed with the river water, and sweeping away the silt and sand in the riverbed. When the water is dry, it will give birth to both banks, and resist when it is flooding, and guard against big waters.

….

Zhu Yunxi's eyes already showed a look of emotion.

He knows how to manage the river, but he can't do everything.

The theory is proposed, and anyone like him can write a chapter, but things need to be practiced by countless people under the leadership of a few capable people.

"Say! Tell me more about your way of governing the river with the river!"

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly said, he needed to verify whether Pan Deshan's method of governing the river with the river was any different from the method he knew.

The eyes of the accompanying officials around him gradually became complicated, and they either sighed or envied in their hearts.

Nothing else.

Pan Gong will be promoted.

Pan Deshan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "If Your Highness trusts, the ministers will be in the great river, accumulating more than ten years, costing tens of millions of court funds and millions of ministers.

Select the site to build a dam, bind the water and wash the sand, overhaul the embankment on both banks, build the main river embankment, dig the silt channel, and build the outer river.

Then repair the Huai water, block the river water into Hongze, Hongze drink the Huai water, out of Hongze and the Yellow River, wash and replenish the canal transport, dredge the downstream estuary, and silt the fields can also be ten thousand hectares."

Pan Deshan has read the policies of the ancients to govern the river, and summarized the strategies for governing the river by himself.

Afterwards, Pan Deshan bowed slightly, made a salute, and stood aside, waiting for the final cut of the grandson.

Whether it is life or death, whether it is famous through the ages, or whether it is rated as a soldier on paper, it is all in this dynasty.

Zhu Yunxi's palm gently slapped on the handrail of the ship's side, looking at the surface of Hongze Lake, which is directly connected to the Huaishui and the Yellow River, and pondering Pan Deshan's river management strategy.

And among the surrounding entourage officials, they were already whispering.

An official from the household department walked out, arched his hand at Pan Deshan, and raised his eyebrows: "Pan Langzhong said that the imperial court spent tens of millions of dollars, how much is this tens of millions in Pan Langzhong's expectations?"

As soon as the people from the household department finished asking, another person from the Ministry of Industry came out: "Pan Langzhong, I would like to ask, what is the geometry of the millions of ministers mentioned by Pan Lang, is it the plan of more than ten years that Pan Langzhong said that such a number of ministers are mobilized at the same time?"

The people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households just finished asking.

The officials who accompanied him this time immediately stood up.

The background of the official department makes this official naturally have a majesty.

I saw him shaking his robe, arching his hand at Pan Deshan, and then clearing his throat and saying in a deep voice: "Pan Langzhong, if you rule the river, you will be implicated in the prefectures and counties of thousands of miles. What is Pan Langzhong's strategy to make Langzhong's strategy of governing the river not worse than the slightest bit, and apply it to the river?"

Pan Deshan turned sideways, looked at the accompanying colleagues who were questioning, and shook his shoulders.

Then, with a wave of his arms, he arched his hand towards several people.

「

It is only said below that the work of more than ten years, these tens of millions of funds, millions of subjects, are used for a total of more than ten years."

"There have been measurements below, dams, embankments, dredging, and so on, and everything costs three million dollars a year. It is estimated that the total cost of building the dam is one million, the cost of repairing the embankment is one million, and the cost of dredging is one million, which is the cost of three million subjects."

"The matter of governing the river is to govern the river for a thousand miles, and it cannot be limited to the land of one government and one county, if the river is governed under the river, when the policy of governing the river passes up and down the river, there shall be no mistake in the prefecture and county. Governing the river is in the present, and the benefits are in the future. Those who are tired of the present will be the descendants of the generations to come."

As Pan Deshan opened his mouth to explain, everyone fell silent.

According to Pan Deshan's words, even if the minimum ten years of river governance are calculated, the imperial court will spend no less than 30 million yuan for this, and 3 million subjects will work for it.

"It's a national business! The matter involves the community, and the minister has doubts."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the motion."

In a few moments, most people unified their attitudes, bowed down in the face of Zhu Yunxi, and expressed their opinions as political participants of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Zhu Yunxi, who had been waiting for these accompanying officials to express his opinions, finally turned around slowly.

He glanced at the crowd with a surging look.

Then he looked at Pan Deshan, and his eyes seemed to be a little playful.

Zhu Yunxi muttered in a low voice: "It seems that it costs a lot and involves a lot."

Pan Deshan's heart was shocked, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Is his own way going to be denied?

But this river is the only way to cure the river.

Zhu Yunxi snorted twice, looked at the officials who had opposing opinions in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly: "But Da Ming has this confidence!"
