Chapter 233: The River Hangs on the Earth
Su Li smiled at Gongye Siming's request, but just stretched out his hand and sketched it on the scroll again......
The next moment, a picture of the hanging river on the ground was formed, and the constantly rising embankment made the river surface seem to look like it was hanging high above the ridges on both sides.
He didn't say anything, but he had already incorporated everything into the painting.
At this time, although the course of the Mother River of the Song Kingdom was not so exaggerated, anyone who looked at this painting would know that this painting was the future of the Mother River after a long time!
This painting seemed to have magical power, and in an instant the entire restaurant was silent, and all the people of the Song Kingdom present, whether they were scholars or dignitaries, were silent in front of this picture.
A painting made them deeply aware of what the current troubles of the Song Kingdom were.
If this river breaks, it will definitely flood thousands of miles and turn most of the Song Kingdom into a vast ocean.
Even the scholar didn't dare to make any more nonsense, because he had nothing to do about this kind of scene, and even felt that his hands and feet were cold and his heart was extremely anxious...... After all, he is also a citizen of the Song Kingdom, and he knows some good things.
Only then did Su Li speak calmly: "Everyone already knows the trouble of the mother river, but it is extremely difficult to deal with it. ”
"I'm sure everyone understands why the riverbed is hanging high...... This is caused by sediment being washed away from the upstream and deposited here. ”
"So if you want to control the river, the first thing is to stop the sediment from collapsing upstream. ”
His voice fell, and an old voice suddenly came from the top of his head: "The young man is right, the upper reaches of the Ran Mu River are located in the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, how can we let the Northern Wei Dynasty manage the river disaster for my Song Kingdom?"
Su Li looked up, and before he could say anything, Gongye Siming on the second floor had already exclaimed: "Grandpa, why are you here!"
There was another low uproar below, but I didn't expect Gongye Dazai to be here!
Su Li was slightly surprised, but he still said quietly: "The governance of the mother river has never been something that a certain section of the river can do alone. If we can't start from the big picture, then the left and right are just a palliative treatment. ”
That Gongye Dazai smiled, and he asked condescendingly, "I wonder if Mr. has a good cure?"
It's become this Gongye Dazai to test Su Li.
Su Li still replied calmly: "The method of treating the symptoms is still used, it is nothing more than two points: diligent repair of dikes and dredging of rivers. ”
Gongye Dazai nodded as expected, and then said, "What about the dredging of the river?" The old man and others also suggested this to the king, but in the end, because of the huge amount of money that would affect the spring ploughing, it could not be implemented. ”
The scholars all held their breath, and this was probably the first time they had touched on the specific implementation of the affairs of the imperial court. At the same time, it also makes them realize that the decision of any one thing is not arbitrary, but needs to take into account a series of chain events.
Just like at this time, the dredging of rivers is undoubtedly a good thing, but if it empties the treasury because of this, it is not beautiful.
Su Li still chose to answer by painting this time.
He carefully calculated the upstream position of the map of the great river in his hand, and then added a dam that extended from both sides to the middle of the great river. However, instead of closing in the center, the dam left a narrow space.
In the picture, between the dams of the barrage, the torrent rushes down, causing the water surface of the downstream river to churn......
Su Li's brush seems to have divine help, and the whole painting seems to move on its own.
After all, those who read books are empty talkers, and they all watch this scene blankly.
But the people on the third floor all stood up all at once, because they had been thinking about how to control the river, and when they saw nature, they immediately thought of it.
"Bundle the water and flush the silt!" Gongye Siming on the second floor also came to his senses, and he suddenly danced with his hands: "I see, why didn't I think that the original method was so simple!"
The old method of the Song State was to send additional boats to continuously dig silt back and forth in the mother river basin. It's so inefficient, it's no wonder it's a huge expense.
But now Su Li's method has suddenly opened up a new way of thinking for them...... Bundle the water and wash the silt, and use the water to control the water!
"Mr. Dacai!" Gongye Dazai actually bowed down.
Su Li replied: "It's just because my friend was ordered by the king to control the water, so I thought about it." ”
"So, Mr. actually passed on this method of 'water flushing and silting' to our country, it is really ......" Gongye Dazai is a little confused, as long as this kind of water control method is proposed, it will be a political achievement!
"As I said, governing the mother river should never be a matter of one country. Su Li said very calmly.
...... Let's let the monarchs and ministers of the Song State take care of this section of the river for the Western Qin first, and when the Western Qin Ruishi captures the Song State, they can also save a lot of trouble.
Su Li is naturally selfish, but his selfishness is that no one will believe it if he says it now. Everyone can only think that he cares about the world.
"Mr. Takayo!" Dazai bowed again, but this time more respectfully.
The previous time I only recognized Su Li's talent, but now I recognize Su Li's character and mind...... The people of the Song Kingdom like to play this, and those who are talented and have good conduct will be respected by them.
This time, even the scholars in the hall downstairs didn't dare to be disrespectful, and they all respectfully thanked them: "Mr. Gaoyi!"
This scene made Su Li a little cramped, but he found a way to divert his nervousness. He looked at the young man on the second floor and asked gently, "Gongye Siming, right? Do you have any questions?"
Gongye Siming was a little embarrassed, but at this time, when he saw Su Li asking, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Dacai, I don't know if there is a way to solve my Song Kingdom's current priorities?"
"The rainy season is approaching, and it is too late to try to desilt at this time, and seeing that the river is blocked, it will experience another major flood...... Please have mercy on me and wait for millions of Li people in the Song Kingdom!"
Su Li was slightly stunned...... The rainy season in the Song Kingdom is approaching, and what else can be done at this time except to continue to strengthen the embankment?
But in this regard, he asked quietly: "I don't know what Gongye Dazai has high opinions? Of course, if it is a secret from the court, forget it." ”
"It's okay, I should tell these young people about the difficulties of the imperial court. Old Dazai said gently, without any intention of secrecy.
"The water level of the mother river is now higher than in previous years, but it is almost certain that the mother river will be flooded when the rainy season comes. ”
"Although the Song Kingdom has never slackened off in building more embankments, it ...... I am afraid that no matter how well the embankment is repaired, it will not be able to withstand the raging floods, and eventually the entire Song Kingdom will become a Ze country. ”
So the DPRK and China discussed whether a section of the embankment could be dug upstream in advance if necessary to discharge the floodwater...... 100,000 people will be affected by disasters in exchange for 1 million people will be safe. ”
When the words fell, the entire restaurant was silent.
The people downstairs all of a sudden felt like they were going to suffocate...... The government is really far from being as simple as they imagined.
