"Whenever the Minjiang River floods, the Shuzhong Plain is an ocean. In the event of a drought, it is thousands of miles of red land, and there is no harvest. ”

"Therefore, the floods of the Minjiang River have long harmed Shu, swallowed fertile land, and invaded people's livelihood, which has long been a major obstacle to the survival and development of Shu people."

Prince Heng carefully pondered the intention of Qingji's words.

After a while, Prince Heng said: "What my father said is very true. In the past, when Du Yu, the emperor of the late Shu Kingdom, was plagued by floods, and the people of Shu could not live in peace, so they made their turtles and spirits to control the water. ”

"The turtle Ling inspects the terrain, measures the water potential, channels the catharsis, the flood is calm, and the people of Shu are safe."

"If you can control the floods of the Minjiang River, it will not be a great merit, and my Wu country may take this opportunity to subdue the hearts of the people of Shudi!"

Hearing this, before Qingji could speak, the Bu Shang who followed him jokingly smiled: "Du Yu is to the turtle spirit, but Emperor Shun in ancient times was to Dayu." ”

"Turtle Ling and Dayu were all given the position of monarch by Zen because of their merits in controlling water."

"It's just that Du Yu doesn't seem to be as great as Emperor Shun."

Qingji asked with interest, "How do you say this?" ”

Emperor Shun and Du Yu, one is the leader of the Huaxia tribe, the other is the leader of the Shu people, in terms of achievements, Du Yu is naturally far inferior to Emperor Shun.

But in the matter of Zen Rang, the two are the same, but it is impossible to say who is greater than the other.

Bu Shang smiled slightly, bowed to Qingji and said: "King, the minister has dabbled in a lot of miscellaneous books, and when I was in Badi, I also heard some allusions. ”

"I heard that although Emperor Wangdi Du Yu was good at farming, he had no way to control the flood, so when he was more than 100 years old, he ordered the then prime minister Turtle Ling to control the flood of the Minjiang River."

"During the flood control of the turtle spirit, Du Yu took advantage of the gap to have an affair with the turtle spirit's wife, and Du Yu later felt guilty and thought that his virtue was not as good as the turtle spirit, so he gave him the throne and lived in seclusion in Minshan."

"Legend has it that after his death, in the third month of the lunar calendar, he turned into Du Juan, urging the Shu people to sow seeds while they were farming."

"There is also a saying that Du Yuqi actually fled after being overthrown by the turtle spirit, and because the reset failed, the resentful soul turned into Du Juan......"

Du Juan?

Qingji still knows a little about this story.

Du Yu is in Shu and is a great person.

He developed production and led the Shu people out of the barbaric era of Ru Mao drinking blood, and let the Shu land bloom the flower of civilization, so he was loved by the Shu people.

Many ancient books record that Du Yu got up after living in seclusion, and was inexplicably sad and angry, so that he died unjustly, and his soul was immortal after death, turning into Du Juan, crying out!

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "Du Juan cries blood", and regards it as the embodiment of Emperor Wang, who shed blood for the people.

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty's Du Fu poem, there is "give birth to a hundred birds' nests, and a hundred birds dare not be angry." is still to feed his son, if the courtesy is supreme".

But at the end of the day, the cuckoo may not be a good bird.

Du Juan is known for her cowardice among the birds, and when the birds gather to peck at her, she runs away.

Why did Du Juan escape?

Naturally, I realized that I had done something wrong.

The dove in the idiom "dove occupies the magpie's nest" is said to have Du Juan.

It is said to be a hideous-looking, cruel, and tyrannical bird, and is a rogue among birds.

He is extremely irresponsible for raising offspring, and he is too lazy to make a nest, laying his eggs in other birds' nests, and other birds will hatch and feed them for him.

Xiao Dujuan is also very cruel, not only gluttonous, but also squeezed out of the nest and fell to death all the little brothers and sisters born to the same nest adoptive parents, enjoying the grace of her adoptive parents alone.

Therefore, the reputation of Du Juan Bird is really not good!

"Bu Shang, I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable at a young age."

Qingji glanced at Bu Shang with appreciation.

Bu Shang shook his head and said, "The king praises falsely. The minister is just a whim, and he is just a good thing. ”

"Do you know why the widow came to the bank of the Min River today?"

"This ......"

Bu Shang thought for a moment, and then said: "The king, if the minister's expectations are not bad, the king should want to control the floods of the Minjiang River, or even directly eradicate the floods here." ”

"Good."

Qingji smiled slightly and said: "Cong and fish, the founding of the country is at a loss, people or adult fish and turtles." Such a tragic situation in Shu has existed since ancient times! ”

"The water source of the Minjiang River comes from the right bank of the steep mountain, and the large tributaries are overflowing from the gaps between the mountains on the right bank, and the rainfall is mainly concentrated in the rainy season, so the water of the Minjiang River rises and falls rapidly, and the water potential is turbulent."

"Do you know how to start eradicating the flooding of the Minjiang River?"

"This ...... I don't know. ”

Bu Shang couldn't help but bow his head.

As the so-called art industry has a specialization.

Although Bu Shang is a genius and has a lot of academics, he really doesn't know how to deal with floods, let alone cure the floods of the Minjiang River?

As far as the merchant himself observed.

The upper reaches of the Minjiang River flow through the steep terrain of the ten thousand mountains, and once it reaches the Shuzhong Plain, the water speed suddenly slows down, so that a large amount of sediment and rocks are deposited immediately, silting up the river.

When the rainy season arrives every year, the water of the Min River and other tributaries rises sharply, often flooding.

When there is not enough rain, it can cause drought.

Therefore, as early as more than 100 years ago, Du Yu of Shu took the turtle spirit as the phase, opened an artificial river at the exit of the Minjiang River, and divided the water of the Minjiang River into the Tuojiang River to remove the water damage......

Qingji said slowly: "In order to completely solve the flood of the Minjiang River, we must turn the passive into the active, and while learning from the experience of the predecessors in water control, we must not blindly follow the ancient method, and we need to adapt measures to local conditions." ”

"The widow has an idea, that is, to divide the water flow of the Minjiang River into two, one of which is introduced into the Shuzhong Plain, so that it can not only divide the flood and reduce the disaster, but also divert water to irrigate the fields, and turn harm into benefit."

"For example, this Yulei Mountain under the feet of the widow, only by opening up the Yulei Mountain, so that the water of the Minjiang River can flow smoothly to the east, can the flow of the river water in the west be reduced."

"So that the river in the west will not overflow, and at the same time, it will relieve the drought in the east area, so that the surging river water can flow into the arid area, and irrigate the fertile land there......"

Qingji's idea of the Dujiangyan project was not a whim for a while.

Throughout the ages, Dujiangyan has been a comprehensive water conservancy project for flood control, irrigation and shipping.

In the original history, after the completion of Dujiangyan, the Chengdu Plain is fertile for thousands of miles, the water and drought are from the people, I don't know the famine, there is no famine year, it is called Tianfu!

If the land of Bashu wants to become a real "country of abundance", the Dujiangyan project is indispensable.

"Fortune merchants, if you are asked to complete this project. Do you have faith? ”

Qingji glanced at Bu Shang.

Hearing this, Bu Shang couldn't help but sneer: "The king said that he was laughing. The minister doesn't know the art of water control, and he doesn't know the way of work, how to take on this great task? ”

"Just because you don't understand doesn't mean others don't understand."

Qing Ji said with a smile: "Bu Shang, Shu still lacks a ruling minister. The intention of the widow is to let you serve as the secretary of Shu and be responsible for planning this project. ”
