Chapter 1171

"Didn't you say the day before yesterday that the rain on Gyeonggi Road this year is more dense than in previous years, I'm afraid that there will be flooding, what is happening now?" Wang Yang simply asked about a topic that he was more concerned about.

"Fortunately, the prefectures and counties along Gyeonggi Road have been flooded sporadically. His Majesty has ordered the transfer of grain and grass for disaster relief. ”

"Well, after all, there is a disaster in the area of Gyeonggi Road, Your Majesty is sitting in Bianliang here, if there is any trouble in the disaster, hehe, these officials, I am afraid they can't afford to be guilty......"

"What's more, our Bianliang is built near the Yellow River, which is a little careless, but it is a big problem." When Wang Yang mentioned the Yellow River, he couldn't help but feel a little painful.

When it comes to this matter, I have to mention a ridiculous thing done by the two old drivers, Song Renzong and Song Shenzong.

The cause is in a strange person, this person's name is Li Mingchui, an official of the Northern Song Dynasty. The word Shun Gong. During the Xianping period, he was promoted to join the army, joined the army for Huzhou records, entered the Chongwen proofreading, and relocated the book Lang and the pavilion school.

On the three volumes of "Guiding the River Shape Victory Map", I want to restore the old way of the nine rivers, although it is not adopted, but it is important at the time. This means that the book says that the Yellow River is likely to be diverted to the north, so if the Yellow River flows near the Liao State, the Liao people can go south by boat, and the Yellow River in Bianliang will no longer exist.

He was advised that since the Yellow River had a tendency to divert from Henan to the north, it seemed likely that it would extend directly to the northern part of Hebei near present-day Beijing, and therefore great efforts should be made to divert the water of the Yellow River to the south.

This kind of remarks actually won the strong support and propaganda of many ministers in the court and China at that time, or rather, it should be a group of capitulationists who were afraid of the Northern Liao to the core, and they were very worried that the Northern Liao would take advantage of the possible diversion of the Yellow River to attack the Song Dynasty.

As a result, the Song Dynasty, which had been peaceful for a long time, finally began to carry out the project of diverting the Yellow River in the era of Song Renzong. The main thing was to divert the Yellow River to the south, but this was simply not possible at the time, and it turned out to be an accident.

This behavior directly led to "Saishang Hu flowing north, into the Liuta River, can not be tolerated, is the night of the redecision, drowning soldiers, drifting weed is invincible", the Yellow River near the economic core area of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, this area appeared in the Yellow Flood area, directly led to the Song Dynasty Hebei was destroyed most of the half.

You must know that at that time, Hebei was an important military town for the Northern Song Dynasty to defend against foreign enemies, and at first there were 100,000 heavy soldiers stationed here, and the land was fertile and the products were rich. However, after Song Renzong's first diversion of the Yellow River, because the river embankment burst directly led to the destruction of Hebei's important town, thousands of hectares of fertile land became swamps, and the source of troops was sharply reduced from 100,000 to 20,000 or 30,000, and it can be said that more than half of Zhendingzhou was destroyed.

After the death of Song Renzong, Yingzong came to power for a short time, and it seems that he passed away before he could give any instructions on the Yellow River return project, but the problem is that after Yingzong's son Song Shenzong came to power, he continued to "die" in a vain attempt to make the Yellow River flow back.

As a result, this time the Yellow River burst its banks, the river rushed into the Huai River Basin, a large area of Henan, Shandong and Jiangsu was flooded, fertile land was destroyed, the people were displaced, and even Su Shi was almost drowned. ”

This sentence, translated into the vernacular, is, you don't have this ability, so don't toss around. His words not only angered Song Shenzong, but also angered many important ministers of the court, I have to say that Su Cannon's map cannon ability is still very good.

This also led to the fact that when he was fighting for the old and new parties, he was almost killed because of the Wutai poetry case, which had a lot to do with it, after all, it was too exciting.

Moreover, the most serious consequence of the failure of this diversion was that the Yellow Flood Area spread to the entire Central and East China regions, making the Song Dynasty government have to dispatch huge manpower and material resources every year to rectify the situation, and with little effect.

It also made Song Shenzong realize that the diversion was impossible to complete, so he had no choice but to stop the Yellow River return project.

Previously, Zhao Xu, the young son of heaven, had discussed this issue with Wang Yang, and he also said that after he took power, he must follow the example of Emperor Renzong and his father and continue to do this big thing.

Hearing the news, Wang Daguan, who knew the cause and effect, almost crooked his nose in anger. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Xu was still an ignorant young man, and for the sake of the Great Song Emperor, Wang Daguan might have slapped this stupid man directly on the face at that time to let him know why the flowers were so red.

Eventually, Wang Yang patiently made up for nearly a month of lessons for the illiterate geographer, who lacked geographical knowledge and plate tectonics, explaining in detail that the main reason for the diversion of the Yellow River was sediment accumulation, which led to the congestion of the gentle river channel downstream, which led to the uplift of the riverbed and the diversion.

Whether or not there is sediment in the Yellow River does not depend entirely on the irrational economic activities of human beings. The crux of the Yellow River problem is the siltation of the floodplains and the siltation of the river trough during the dry season, and the Yellow River has less water and more sediment, and the serious imbalance of water and sediment is the crux of the Yellow River problem.

As for worrying that Northern Liao would come south by boat and attack Bianliang in Tokyo, hehe, if it was an old driver with a heavy burden, Wang Yang might have to bother with some words on this issue.

But the problem is that the young son of heaven Zhao Xu is a hot-blooded and angry young man who is determined to pacify Northern Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

That's right, isn't it just a bunch of Northern Liao barbarians? Dare to rely on a river to go deep alone, I can't kill you in the Song Dynasty, and I Zhao Zi wrote upside down.

Zhao Ji also nodded thoughtfully. "The flood of the Yellow River is really a big problem for my Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately, it has been restless for a long time, it is really ......"

"This is normal, the flooding of the Yellow River has been recorded since the time of the Three Yellow and Five Emperors, and it has been thousands of years, countless dynasties, in order to control the river, I don't know how much effort has been spent, but unfortunately, it has not been able to calm the ......"

Wang Yang smashed his mouth. "Wang remembered that there was a theory that could be used to control the Yellow River."

"What theory?" Sitting on the side, Xu Chang and Wang Lie, who were sorting out various manuscripts for Wang Yang, raised their heads and looked at Wang Yang at the same time.

These two were the sons of Wang Yang's fellow subjects in the past, but because they were miscellaneous subjects, they were never assigned jobs, and they were finally thrown by the Son of Heaven to North Shaanxi Road to work for Wang Yang.

Most of them are employed in the financial system of North Shaanxi Road, and only Xu Chang and Wang Lie, who admire the talent of Wang Yang, an old driver, are very impressed.

And what the two of them are best at is not arithmetic, for example, Xu Chang likes to read Mozi since he was a child, likes to specialize in various ancient machinery, and even this product was once in his youth, wanting to copy the Luban bird made by Lu Ban, that is, the wooden magpie.

Of course, he failed, in exchange for a violent beating from his old-fashioned father, but this did not prevent him from loving physics.

And Wang Lie's experience is similar to that of Xuchang, especially after seeing that Wang Yang's talent in this area far exceeds theirs, both of them have a strong desire to learn by Wang Yang's side, rather than going to the financial system to deal with money and numbers.
