"In less than half a year?"

When Lei Changjiang heard this point in time, he was not shocked, but looked at Lin Haoran with a complicated expression.

The problem of silting up the Nanliu River has accumulated for a long time, and the rebuilding of the damaged embankment is already a big project, and it is a time-consuming and laborious project to clean up a large amount of silt in the river.

Not to mention half a year, even if he budgeted for two years, this can only be achieved under extremely optimistic conditions.

Although he knew that Lin Haoran was very powerful, managed Leizhou Mansion in an orderly manner, and handled some government affairs problems with ease, his heart was still full of suspicions.

It's not that he suspects that Lin Haoran is bragging to him, but that Lin Haoran doesn't know the enormity of this silt cleaning project, so he made a wrong judgment and mistakenly thought that it could be completed in half a year.

Lin Haoran seemed to see through his thoughts, gently put the tea cup on the table, and then slapped his palms outside.

But I saw Sun Jixiang leading a little old man with silent skin walking in, this little old man is in his early fifties, with a kind face, a little hunched back, although he is wearing a cloth coat, but he looks extraordinary.

Hey?

Lei Changjiang looked at the little old man who came in, although the other party was wearing a cloth coat, he could see that the other party was not a farmer who worked all year round, and couldn't help but look at the other party seriously.

"Sinner Xia Shunshui, I've seen Lin Futai, I've seen Lei Futai!" Xia Shunshui came to the hall and respectfully saluted the two lords of the first house.

When Lei Changjiang heard the word "sinner", he couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Lin Haoran.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Haoran's mouth, pointing to this Xia Shui, and he solemnly introduced it.

Since all dynasties were agrarian societies, the main tax revenue of the imperial court came from agricultural taxes. In the same way, the imperial court attached great importance to the agricultural economy and invested heavily in water conservancy.

The management of water conservancy is often accompanied by the construction of dams. Just looking at the glittering project money, how can I not think about it, but this water conservancy construction can easily become a hotbed of corruption.

But the officials in charge of supervising the construction cannot be blamed all, even if they do not satisfy their appetite, they have to make dots on the top, so the embankment will more or less cut corners.

In particular, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for 200 years, and the thinking of officials has long been corrupted, and corruption has long become a norm.

Jiajing is an emperor who values money bags very much, and he doesn't think that the money is enough to spend, and he is also concerned about the whereabouts and results of his money. As a result, he found that every year funds were allocated to build the dike, and as a result, the dikes were washed away every year when the flood season came.

Not only did the levee collapse, but the previous money was wasted, and because the village was often flooded, he also needed to withdraw money from his pocket for disaster relief, which really made him grit his teeth in anger.

In the same way, Jiajing was dissatisfied with the civil officials who supervised the construction of the embankment, and even hated it to the core. Even Jiajing, who did not trust the eunuchs, sent eunuchs and let these eunuchs act as river supervisors.

However, this time he kept a hand, and although the good deeds of supervising the construction of the dam were given to these eunuchs, he demanded that when the flood season came, the river supervisor should stay on the dam honestly.

"The dam is in the people, the dam is bursting and people are dying!"

Although this trick is inhumane, the effect is immediate.

It cannot be said that the collapse of the embankment has been completely eliminated, but it has undoubtedly greatly reduced the number of tofu slag projects, and at the same time, it has also slapped some civil officials in the face.

This is the case with Chinese politics, which is often considered black and white, and has always preferred a "one-size-fits-all" policy.

After the imperial court had succeeded in sending river supervisors, it introduced a system of river supervisors throughout the country, with eunuchs replacing civil officials and investigating those who supervised the embankments.

Xia Shunshui was born as a second-class jinshi, got a valuable place to stay in Beijing, and was assigned to the Ministry of Industry as a trainee director. After years of hard work, he was finally promoted to the position of Gongbu Langzhong.

With his qualifications and age at that time, he had a great chance of staying up to the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and his future was bright.

It's just that he caught up with that bad opportunity, perhaps because of his name, and was sent by the imperial court to the Yellow River to supervise the construction of a section of the embankment. This is undoubtedly a fat gap, which is the envy of many people.

Xia Shunshui maintained his conscience and did not intend to commit corruption. When the imperial court removed him and let a eunuch serve as the river supervisor, he was just a normal transfer.

It's just that a lot of bad luck fell on his head, and the governor of the river at that time was found to be greedy for ink, and when he supervised the construction of the embankment, he also paid a certain amount of "construction money" to the governor of the river Yamen according to the usual practice.

It was precisely because of this small amount of "construction money" that he was raided like other civil officials who supervised the construction of the embankment, and he himself was sent to the border of the Qianhu in Haikang, Leizhou.

From a high-ranking worker, he suddenly became a sinner on the border, and he really fell from heaven to hell.

Ay!

Lei Changjiang was also quite sympathetic when he heard what happened to Xia Shunshui, because he had some similarities with Xia Shunshui's experience.

He was originally a beautiful Beijing official, a conscientious head of the household department, but because he offended his boss, he was assigned to this place.

After introducing Xia Shunshui's identity, Lin Haoran recommended it very seriously: "Brother Zhiqing, if Xia Shunshui is responsible for the dredging project of the Nanliu River, half a year is enough!" ”

"It's more than just cleaning up the mud, isn't it?" Lei Changjiang's eyes looked at Xia Shunshui suspiciously, and directly said the doubts in his heart, after all, the other party was not Lin Haoran, so he didn't have to worry too much.

Xia Shun met his gaze, smiled and nodded: "Leifutai, if you use the previous method of controlling the river, this time is really insufficient, I am afraid it will take two to three years, and the cost of migrant workers will be ten thousand!" ”

"But I don't know what to do?" Lei Changjiang looked at the other party very professionally, especially the words in the back were undoubtedly aware of the matter of governing the river, and he suddenly became interested and asked seriously.

Xia Shunshui was also observing Lei Changjiang, looked into his eyes and replied: "To quote Lin Futai's words, that is, 'rule the river with people, not rule the river with the river'!" ”

"How do you rule a river with a river?" Lei Changjiang's brows frowned slightly, and he looked at Xia Shunshui seriously, but found that he looked at Lin Haoran, who was drinking tea, and also looked at Lin Haoran suspiciously.

Lin Haoran knew that Xia Shunshui was not a person who was greedy for merit, so he gently pulled the tea with the tea lid and said, "Simply put! We don't have to organize migrant workers to carry the silt themselves, but the rivers will carry the silt by themselves! ”

"Brother Ruo, do you have some whimsical ideas..."Lei Changjiang wanted to say that Lin Haoran was whimsical, but he felt that these words would offend Lin Haoran, so he swallowed it back alive.

Not to mention that Lin Haoran pulled him out of the quagmire and pushed him into this position, just because Lin Haoran is now "ordered to purchase ambergris", he can't speak openly.

Xia Shunshui continued his words and said, "Lord Lin's idea is indeed unexpected, and he suddenly opened up. As long as we tighten the river and use the impact of the Nanliu River, we will definitely be able to bring the silt from the riverbed to Tokyo Bay, and the problem of silting up the Nanliu River will be solved! Speaking of this, he bowed his hand to Lin Haoran and said: "This beam of water and sand will surely benefit the world and create a new school of river governance." ”

Twenty years later, Pan Jitao only became famous all over the world by virtue of the "method of harnessing water and flushing sand", which profoundly influenced the thinking and practice of "controlling the yellow water" of future generations, made a significant contribution to the cause of river control in China, and became a famous expert in water control in history.

"Bunching water and sand?" Lei Changjiang's brows frowned slightly, but he doubted the feasibility of this method.

"Leifutai, I have done many simulations in the Craftsman's Academy. As long as the river channel is tightened, it can form a greater impact, and this is the only way to do it in the Nanliu River! Xia Shunshui saw his suspicions, and said with an oath.

Lei Changjiang shook his head and said: "No, I look at the methods of the ancients to control water, most of them are to expand the flow and widen the waterway. ”

For the sake of the Nanliu River, he studied water conservancy a lot, but found that the concept followed this "water and sand flushing method" is just the opposite. Again, he has a conventional skepticism about this approach.

"Lei Futai, not to mention the cost of labor and money in this method, it also laid the root of the hidden danger for the next time!" Xia Shunshui's face was filled with anger, and then he arched his hand to the north and said: "This Yellow River expenditure flow, but it has been diverted again and again, and now it is not only often flooded, but also often washes out the canal and takes away the water source of the canal, causing the main artery of my Ming Dynasty to almost fall into paralysis!" ”

"That's true, the Yellow River has been governed, but it has been curing the root cause but not the root cause!" Lei Changjiang was not a stubborn person, and when he mentioned the Yellow River and the Grand Canal in Beijing, he was persuaded by his words.

Xia Shunshui watched his change, silently arched his hand, and admired the change in his concept in his heart. After all, at the beginning, I didn't believe in Lin Haoran's method of washing water and sand.

Lei Changjiang turned his head to look at Lin Haoran and asked seriously, "Is this method really feasible?" ”

"Theoretically, there is absolutely no problem, but how to implement it depends on Mr. Xia!" Lin Haoran nodded seriously, then pointed at Xia Shunshui with a smile and said.

He knows that the key to the success or failure of anything is people, especially this complex water control project, and he has seen this Xia Shunshui with rich experience in water control very much.

Of course, the reason why he pushed Xia Shunshui out at this time was actually because he had a deeper plan. Not only for the current Nanliu River, but also for the Yellow River, which has been plagued every year, and it is also his future career.

"Mr. Xia, can you help me?" Lei Changjiang stood up from his seat and bowed respectfully.

Xia Shunshui glanced at Lin Haoran, and after receiving Lin Haoran's nod in response, he said bitterly to Lei Changjiang: "I am already a criminal on the border, if Lei Futai doesn't mind, I will do my best to handle this matter well!" ”

"In that case, then thank you Mr. Xia in advance!" Lei Changjiang thanked him again, and then led him to his seat.

Xia Shunshui had been sent to Lianzhou Mansion by Lin Haoran earlier, where he inspected the situation of the Nanliu River.

At this time, he took out the map he had been carrying, and began to tell the water control plan one by one. Where to carry out the "water bundle" and how to advance the project.

I have to say that Xia Shunshui is indeed a rare talent for water control, and many factors have been considered. Even if it is such a fickle factor as the season, he calculates it, and intends to use the rainy season to "wash the water and sand".

Lei Changjiang listened to it all the time, but after a while, he gave another long salute to Xia Shunshui, who was talking.

It was in the middle of the conversation that a scribe rushed in and brought them bad news.

Unlike Leizhou Mansion, Lianzhou Mansion not only has the wealthy Haibei Yanjiao Yamen, but also has the military preparation yamen, especially the latter, which commands the guards of the three prefectures, and the official character is overwhelming the prefect of the three prefectures.

"Commander Luo surrounded the government office?"

No one thought that Luo Bancheng was taken back to the government prison, and Luo Haojie arrived with a large number of men and horses under the command of Lianzhou Wei, and immediately surrounded Lianzhou Mansion.

When Lei Changjiang heard that the other party was so arrogant, he was also angry, and immediately led people towards the front yard.

When they arrived, they saw that Luo Haojie had already taken Luo Bancheng out of the government prison, and his expression was very arrogant. Facing Lei Changjiang, who came in a hurry, he snorted disdainfully.

Lei Changjiang stepped forward and immediately asked angrily: "Commander Luo, what are you going to do here?" ”

"This is the person named by the military commander, you can go to him!" Luo Haojie pointed at Luo Bancheng and said arrogantly.

Lei Changjiang's brows furrowed, and he suppressed his anger and said: "He is my prisoner, he has committed a major crime of murder, and no one can take him away!" ”

"Really? However, he is the person named by the military master, and he has important clues about the Red Flag Gang, and I must take it away! Luo Haojie said with a tough attitude.

Lei Changjiang knew that this was an excuse, and then said without humility or arrogance: "I don't care about this, in short, no one wants to take people away, leave people for me, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

"Really? Take people away, who dares to stop them, give me a hard beating! Luo Haojie's face was straight, and he immediately showed a hideous color.

Lei Changjiang looked left and right, especially Huang Zhutou's eyes were clearly timid, and then looked at the menacing Lian Zhouwei, but no one really dared to come forward and dare to step forward to stop him.

But at this moment, a majestic voice suddenly sounded: "Slow! ”

"Lin Futai, you also want to stop it!" Luo Haojie looked at Lin Haoran, but he was not afraid.

Lin Haoran shook his head and said with a smile: "Governor Lei and I are very interested in the affairs of the Red Flag Gang, and we also want to know the important clues of the Red Flag Gang, so let's lead the way!" ”

The method of water flushing is to tighten the river channel and use the impulse of water to impact the sediment at the bottom of the riverbed, so as to achieve the purpose of dredging and flood control. It is generally suitable for rivers with large flows, such as the Yellow River. The first to use this method to control the Yellow River was the famous water conservancy engineer Pan Jitao of the Ming Dynasty, and all subsequent dynasties have used this method to control the Yellow River.
