383. Great water conservancy
Seeing that a controversy was inevitable, Ji Hu, who was sitting behind the king's case, stood up abruptly and said loudly: "The decision has been made. Transferred Kui Duoyou to Hojing to seal the formation of the border army, transferred Yu Zhong to the Chengzhou Eighth Division to take charge of the Shuaiyin, and the overall planning of the Guanzhong Jingtian Water Conservancy was coordinated by Mr. Rongyi. ”
"King," Rui Liangfu stepped forward and said, "Mr. Rong Yi is in charge of Sima Mansion, and now he is in charge of water conservancy affairs, so who is in charge of the affairs of Sima Mansion?" Who is in charge of the Western Sixth Division? ”
Ji Hu waved his sleeves and walked away. Jia Jia, who was old on the side, trembled and unfolded a volume of the king's book, and read it in his old and slightly sharp voice: "The king's order, Zhou Meng, the son of Zhou Gongshi, is thick and smart, and is worthy of the position of managing Sima." The West Sixth Division was temporarily taken over by Deputy Marshal Wolf Ben. ”
All the ministers were stunned, thinking about it carefully, but they felt that it was both unexpected and inappropriate. Zhou Meng is different from the wind of the waves of the rest of the sons of Zhou Gong, he is strict in handling things, he is a good person, he has been in the West Sixth Division for several years, he is brave and brave but slightly insufficient, and he is a little weak to be a forward general, and it is unsatisfactory to become a famous general. But the strength lies in the ability to have a director, and he can be a director through the army, which is a suitable candidate for Sima. And he was born in a noble family, which is more conducive to the balance of the government and the opposition.
Everyone congratulated Zhou Gongding, although the old fox was secretly happy in his heart, but he had to pretend to be not surprised by the changes on his face, and he was reluctant to do it, so it was not hard.
Now that the dust has settled on the military affairs, after Rong Yi handed over the affairs of Sima Mansion to Zhou Meng, he devoted himself to the major task of building wells and water conservancy.
Since ancient times, flooding has been the greatest threat to the Chinese tribes. The terrifying legend of "the flood is monstrous, and the vast mountains and Xiangling" still remain in people's memories for a long time. Until the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the climate and landscape pattern of the Chinese land was still humid, hot and rainy, with vertical and horizontal rivers, abundant water and lush forests. At that time, the damage caused by floods was far greater than the damage caused by water shortages.
Only in this way does the world have the saying of "benefiting water". Those who benefit water can also use water. The huge river and the vast ocean are endless, and the floods are frequent, and the cultivators, fishermen and hunters often have a catastrophe. Therefore, the area around Dashui is sparsely populated, and it has become a wild mountain forest. Obviously, in the sparsely populated agrarian era, too much water was not beneficial.
The Yellow River Basin in the Central Plains, since Dayu controls the water and dredges the river into the sea, its water system has been relatively stable. Hundreds of rivers return to the river, the river flows into the sea, and the blind flow of the blind stream with no way out is gone. As a result, the flooding was greatly reduced, the waterway was opened, and the fertile arable land was greatly increased. As a result, the Central Plains region has wells and fields, many cities are built, and villages are continuous, and it has become the place where Chinese civilization grows and gathers.
As the center of the Zhou people's rule, the Fenghao Guanzhong Plain in Hangu Pass is a unique area of benefiting water. The so-called "nine waters and eighteen pools, eight hundred miles from east to west" refers to the abundance of water in Guanzhong, and the shape of mountains and rivers. The so-called nine waters are Weishui, Jingshui, Fengshui, Luoshui, Bashui, Chanshui, Pickaxe Water, Orange Water, and Waterlogging. These nine rivers are all surging waters with tributaries, and if they are included with tributaries, there are as many as fifty or seventy rivers in Guanzhong.
The so-called eighteen ponds are eighteen large and small lakes distributed in the mountains and rivers of 800 miles, counting from west to east: Niushou Pond, Xipi Pond, Crane Pond, Pan Pond, Ice Pond, Pickaxe Pond, Orchid Pond, Chu Pond, Mi Pond, Kuai Pond, Lang Pond, Jicao Pond, Danglu Pond, Hongpi Pond, Dongpi Pond, Weipu, Meipi, Qiaohou Pond. Only its rivers are like weaving, lakes are dotted, and the Fenghao Plain has the name of "land and sea" since ancient times.
Until the Western Han Dynasty, there was still a famous scholar Sima Xiangru who wrote "Zi Xuan Fu" cloud: "Swinging in the eight rivers of the diversion, contrary to each other, east and west, north and south, the pond and the back and forth, out of the Jiaoqiu Que, the line of the state silt. "Paint a long scroll of mountains and rivers intertwined between the rivers and lakes in Guanzhong Village, the wild city, and the Zhoushi?
The water is abundant, the fertile field can be cultivated, it is brought by the mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to invade the soldiers, but it is uniquely endowed with it, so since the three emperors and five emperors, Guanzhong is the place recognized by the world as a place of beauty. The Zhou civilization based on the profound farming tradition has been born here, and it has become the mainstream of Chinese civilization.
Thanks to the blessings of heaven and earth, Guanzhong should have become a first-class wealthy area in the world. However, contrary to expectations, Guanzhong is not as rich as the Qi country with the benefit of fish and salt to the east, not as rich as the Jinghan Plain to the south, and the middle is not as good as the Central Plains.
The rivers are crisscrossed, the ponds are impregnated, and the low-lying waterlogged areas in Guanzhong often produce patches of peculiar saline-alkali land. Water-soaked all year round, wet for a long time into brine, the ground leached white alkali flowers. Summer and autumn are an ocean, winter and spring are covered with white dust, planting grains does not produce a single seedling, but the wild grass basil reeds are reckless. This kind of barren land where grains do not grow, the Zhou people call it "salt-alkali beach".
These saline-alkali flats, harmful to the energy of the field, adjacent to the fertile land but with poor drainage, will be swallowed up in three or five years, and in the blink of an eye, they will become a reckless alkali beach with white fog in the wind. And once the fertile land turns white, even if the farmers work hard to repair the canal to drain the water, they will not be able to change it back for eight years.
The old Zhou people have a proverb: "Water, salt, flowers, alkali, there are beaches and no fields, white soil kills grains, and thousands of miles of wolf smoke." "It's about the harmful alkali beach that has been increasing year by year, devouring fertile land.
The central and western parts of Guanzhong are slightly higher and have convenient drainage, and such alkaline flats rarely grow. However, as soon as we enter the gradually open central part, from Qishan to the land where Luoshui enters Wei in the east, such white hairy alkali beaches will frequently grow, small as 100 acres and thousands of acres, large as 10 or 20 miles, and the green fields are bald, ugly and desolate.
The plains are uneven, the mountains are undulating, and there are countless plateaus and slopes in Guanzhong. On the south bank of Weishui, the plain is far away from Nanshan, there are many highlands like Lantian Plateau, there are several small rivers that arise from Nanshan to come to Guanzhong in the north, the water potential is smooth, and it can still be used.
Moreover, at that time, the land of Weinan was full of rocky mountains and dense forests, and the cultivated land was relatively narrow, so it was used as an exclusive garden for the royal family and nobles for a long time, with many palaces and pavilions and garrison camps, and the population of farming, fishing and hunting was relatively scarce. In a word, even if there is a flood and drought in Weinan, Guanzhong, it will not pose much of a threat to the Zhou royal family.
The key to the water conservancy problem in Guanzhong lies in the Weibei area, where the population is concentrated.
The plain on the north bank of Weishui stretches more than 100 miles to the north and then increases again and again, reaching the Hexi Plateau, forming a vast soil and mountain slope area. This kind of hill slope, said high or not, said low not low, the soil is staggered, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and it is close to the river pool. Farmers live by looking at the water, which is said to be reclaimable and cultivateable, but it is near the water and drought, and the land is thin and difficult to harvest.
Even in a normal year, the harvest on the slopes is less than three or four percent of the fertile land on the plains. If there is little rain in a year, it may be one of the fertile fields in the plains, or even no harvest. The old Zhou people have a proverb: "Diligent cultivation has no harvest, hope that the water will become drought, there is a huguo belly, and there is no rain to boil." "It's about the hardships and hardships of the people on this hill.
Because the flat land is adjacent to the water, a village and a mile can still work together to open several canals to divert water to irrigate the fields when there is little rain, at least to ensure normal annual growth. The slope is different, and there is a river pool within three or five miles, but you can only look at the water and sigh. It is not easy to bring the water of the river to the slope of the plateau!
Not to mention a village and several villages, even if it is a few miles of people's power, it may not be able to use water in a canal within three to five years. What's more, at that time, there were many wars with the lynx, and many of the sturdy men joined the army, and the men and women who stayed in the cultivation could be conscripted as heavy men at any time. The government has to deal with the war requisition, and it is impossible to plan water conservancy, and even if there is a plan, it will not be able to squeeze out a long period of time to concentrate the people's efforts to build canals and divert water.
With these two evils, Guanzhong at that time could only rely on the sky to eat.
Since the era of King Cheng, successive chiefs have tried their best to solve the two major evils in the hinterland of Guanzhong, but they have been stranded repeatedly due to various sudden incidents.
Zhou Gongdan wanted to plan, but he encountered the "Three Prisons Rebellion", and the country laid by King Wu in the Central Plains was almost subverted, and the great water conservancy came to naught. King Zhao's generation coincided with the state of Chu in the south being ready to move, but King Zhao rashly died in the Han River, the Zhou royal family fell into turmoil, and Guanzhong Water Conservancy had no time to take care of. In order to save the declining situation, King Mu, who succeeded to the throne, fought in the south and the north for decades, and even used the whole country as a soldier, and had no time to take care of anything else.
It was easy to reach the generation of Li Wang Jihu, and the crown prince Fu Rongyi wrote to put forward a countermeasure: "Weibei Linshui dry land is more than 10,000 hectares, and the white alkali beach is more than 5,000 hectares. ”
In fact, since he saw the patches of Baimao Beach under the guidance of Rong Yi that year, Ji Hu made up his mind to renovate the water conservancy in Guanzhong. After the pro-government, this matter was put on the agenda, and the reason why he turned a blind eye to the actions of the country was also to concentrate on completing this important matter. It's just that although he entrusted this matter to Rong Yi, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart. Just because although he knows that Rong Yi is a miscellaneous master, but the matter of hydraulic engineering is too professional after all, if there is no person who is proficient in this way of practical operation, I am afraid that it will not be possible.
But Rongyi gave him a reassurance: "The minister is willing to recommend a water engineer to lead Guanzhong Water Affairs, and the minister is only responsible for coordination." ”
"Oh? Who does Aiqing recommend? How did Aiqing know this kind of plummer? ”
Rong Yi sat up straight and told Zhou Li Wang Jihu about an old story.
About ten years ago, he studied pharmacology with a famous doctor near Xiangshan Mountain in Jianghan, and met a camping of people repairing a ditch on the north bank of Yunmengze. It was raining and he had run out of dry food and wanted to buy some dried meat.
The old man who showed him the way said, "There is no official to look for, only the god of water." The dry bar next to the stone house in front of you is the god of water, look at it, don't worship the wrong temple door! ”
According to the old man's guidance, Rong Yi came to the stilted bamboo building called "Ganlan" and asked loudly, but there was no one inside. While we were waiting, the rain poured in. Rong Yi had to go into the dry fence to take shelter from the rain, and then stayed under the dry fence and continued to wait.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.
Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.
Where is this?
Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.
A single dormitory?
Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.
And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.
With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.
The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.
But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free
The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was a success......
The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.
He's a different guy altogether!
Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?
In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"
Postpartum Care for Pet Animals
"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"
Shi Yu: ???
The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?
"Ahem."
Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.
Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.
Icefield City.
