In the past few days, Qi Yuan has not heard any news at all, but he has heard a lot of things if he doesn't want to hear them.

Finally, Qi Yuan's patience ran out, and as soon as he went up to the court today, he had a cold face, looking at the civil and military officials below in horror, and he didn't know what the emperor was crazy about today.

"Gonggong Hong recited this secret recital to them."

Gonggong Hong took the paper in Qi Yuan's hand with both hands, and when he looked at the content on it, he knew why Qi Yuan was angry.

"It has rained heavily in Luoyang City for several days, and the water of the Luohe River has risen by several feet, and the rain has not stopped, and the government has not been able to strengthen the river embankment."

After Gonggong Hong finished reading, the civil and military officials below understood what was going on, and they all lowered their heads and scanned everyone with their eyes, but no one dared to speak.

"Why, when I see you on weekdays, I have to talk about big and small things, but now that something big has happened, all the ministers don't say a word, what's the reason?"

Qi Yuan looked at this group of people with a sneer on his face, and only felt that the rivers and mountains of the Celestial Empire had been ruined by people like them. Luoyang was an ancient capital, and if it weren't for the annual floods, the Celestial Empire would not have moved its capital further north.

But in this way, they still can't do a good job of protection, and no one on the riverbank has ever seen it, and those who are officials hide at home one by one and listen to the wind and rain, without asking about the people's affairs.

"Tell the emperor, according to the minister's opinion, there will be more rain in various places this year than before, and maybe it is not just one place that will be flooded."

For the right prime minister, Qi Yuan still gave a little thin noodles, so he said lightly: "It is indeed as the prime minister said, it is like this, but in some places, people have been arranged for flood control early, but in some places, there is no movement at all, and there is no report, so nothing can happen, this is where I am angry." ”

Qi Yuan is telling the truth, just like Luoyang, when encountering floods, he only knows how to ask for money, and never says that the river embankment will be repaired in advance, and the final solution is to find a poor and remote place to discharge the flood.

Although this method of controlling floods has existed in the past, but now there is obviously a better way, but they still have to use this method of working the people and hurting money, and moreover, these chicken thieves who are officials are very united, and they do not do a good job of protection in the upstream, and the unlucky ones are the county officials downstream.

No matter how much protection they do, the water is overwhelming from the upstream, and no matter how strong the embankment beneath them is, it is useless.

"According to the old minister's opinion, it seems that it is useless to consolidate the river embankment now, so it is better to lead the river out."

Prime Minister Right knew the symptoms of Qi Yuan's anger, but this year's incident happened suddenly, and the court of the Celestial Empire was too chaotic a few months ago, and no one had any hands free to do this.

"One of the prime ministers is to destroy the fields of those peasant families and destroy their homes?"

"The emperor will inevitably gain and lose, not to mention that the minister does not mean this, the minister means, digging a new river, the crux is not in Luoyang, Luoyang City is high, even if there is a flood, there will be no problem, mainly in a few villages in the lower reaches of the Luohe River.

Since they are flooded once a year, it is better to use it as a route for the river to be dug from this year, and as for their dwellings, it is better to let them move to higher places, and the cost of land and settlement will be paid by the imperial court......"

After the right prime minister said this, many people seconded it, Qi Yuan glanced at the right prime minister, only to feel that he was becoming more and more unfathomable.

"That's an idea, but this kind of massive work can't be done overnight."

Qi Yuan could only think of this method, but unfortunately this method came too slowly, and it did not cure the symptoms.

"Your Majesty, the matter of governing the river is not a day's work, except for combing the river, it is to build a dam, and there is no other way!"

The civil and military officials below seem to be in this way, and they are naturally clear about the method of governing the river handed down by the ancients, and with this ready-made, who will bother to think of a new method.

Qi Yuan looked around, glanced at Rong Che, and said casually, "Rong Che, you can talk about it." ”

Rong Che heard the emperor personally call names, and respectfully came out and said, "What the Prime Minister said is the best way. In addition to diverting the river and building embankments, it is also necessary to dig up the silt in the rivers during the dry season, and in the spring, trees should be planted on both sides of the embankments to prevent the monstrous floods in the long run. ”

After he said this, someone in the court immediately retorted and reprimanded, saying, "Who do you think you are? Is there such a descendant who talks to the elders of the dynasty? This Rong family is really defeated, and they dare to grandstand here. ”

"What's the use of planting trees, not all of them will be washed away when the flood comes!"

No matter how these adults insulted, Rong Che stood in place as if he hadn't heard anything, waiting for Qi Yuan's orders.

"Rong Che, is there any basis for what you said?"

Rong Che bowed respectfully and said, "Some of them are what the minister heard from those crop men, and then the minister himself summed it up in the past few years. ”

Rong Che doesn't look very old, but his actual age is already past the age of his establishment, and he just looks young.

"Tell me what you think."

Rong Che nodded and said: "Although the water looks extremely clear, but the bottom is all silt and sand, a few years ago, there was a drought, and several towns with serious disasters passed through, and the rivers outside their village were dried up.

And not far away from the big river there is water, just the bed of the small river. It has been raised, and the water of the big river cannot be filled, and when the water of the big river can be poured in, there will be a drought most of the time. ”

"Why is that?"

"The water of the big rivers is full of sediment, and the big rivers are turbulent, and the sediment will not be too much, but the small rivers are different, so the small rivers are mostly muddy and sandy, and they will be blocked over time.

At that time, the minister was thinking that if it was a small river, if it was a small river, it would not be a drought if it was dug two meters deeper, and it would be the same thing when it was used to control the river.

The rivers in the big rivers are flowing endlessly, and the inconvenient operation can start from their side branches

Silt and sediment, although it stinks, is a good fertilizer, which is why those who have obviously been washed away by the flood return to their original land without changing places.

This is because the land there is more fertile than other places, and the grain grown is enough for them to eat for two years, and as for planting vegetation, it is the experience of the minister when he was young, and the minister grew up in the village when he was young, and there is a river nearby, and the Zhuang of the Rong family is large, which occupies a large area of land, and the willows are planted on the riverside.

At first, the minister didn't feel that it was wrong, and when the minister grew up, he found that the embankment that had not been planted with trees had collapsed a lot, and the place where there were trees, although it was also bald, but it was not so serious. ”
