Chapter 414: Rough Man
The autumn rain is still falling.
Therefore, Wang Ju mentioned in the Chinese book that the situation is different in different places, and the implementation of water conservancy cannot be the same. The flood season in Jiangdong is summer, and the water conservancy in eastern Zhejiang is mainly in autumn, that is, autumn. However, disasters can occur at any time from the beginning of summer until the end of autumn.
As long as there are many rainy days, the river embankment is in danger.
Wang Ju opened the embankment in Suozao County, but it was actually opened with a gambling nature, and he didn't even measure and calculate the flow rate of the river. Is there any difference between the amount and the quantity of such a flood storage area?
However, at that time, it did "kill" the river, and it was restored soon after.
The surging river rushed to the east, and the east flow could not be accommodated, and the Yellow River tried to solve the problem by itself, rushing east and west, and suddenly crashed into the embankment of Xujiagang, the daimyo's mansion, and then happily danced willfully in the territory of the five states of Daimyo, En, De, Cang, and Yongjing.
Let's go to disaster relief.
Guan Jian's everything now will be magnified.
Fan Chunren said: "The imperial court asked Si Guangma to go down to see the river, Sima Guang said that the east flow is shallow and narrow, and the embankment is not complete. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for three or two years later, when the eastward flow becomes deeper and wider, the embankment is slightly firmer, and the northward flow becomes shallower, before the northward flow can be closed and turned eastward. The imperial court did not listen, and Zhang Gong and Zhang Mao were sycophants and magnates, and they closed the northern stream, causing the Wuzhou army to suffer from flooding. ”
This is said in the living court, and it has nothing to do with Wang Ju, and he is not qualified to enter this court for the time being.
Lu Huiqing said very unhappily: "Sima Guang also said that the harm of the north flow is an expedient measure, and Wang Ju also made it very clear that no matter whether it is the north flow or the east flow, it will not work, and it is expedient and must be guarded, so the flood storage area is widely placed by the Yellow River." From Mengzhou down, all the way to the territory of Huazhou, as long as hundreds of miles, there are many saline-alkali thin land, how can the river not be killed? However, after the construction of the embankment, many officials quarreled endlessly, one talking about the people's power, the other about the financial resources, and other clouds, but as a result, only one embankment was built, and many ministers were impeached. If this policy had been implemented in the first place, why did the Xujiagang embankment burst happen? The fault is not the prime minister, but the officials below who don't know the severity. ”
None of them are ministers, and they have no right to impeach that official, but they just talk about the facts.
Fan Chunren's meaning is Wang An's stone pit, if you listen to Sima Guang's opinion, where will the river be decided, look, this river decide, the country does not know how much silver it will cost.
However, Lu Huiqing meant that Wang Anshi was not wrong at all, and the fault was that some ministers with ulterior motives opposed the failure to widely build flood storage areas, which caused another disaster.
The actual truth is that it has nothing to do with Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi is afraid that after Sima Guang goes to investigate, he will talk nonsense, which will make it difficult for officials to deal with it, so Zhang Mao will take the lead. Zhang Mao may have misunderstood, or he may have been a little sycophant, so he closed the north flow and let the river flow to the east, leading the river to break down.
However, Wang Anshi really didn't decide to close the North Stream, and Fan Chunren was definitely wrong to pull Wang Anshi.
However, opposition to the widespread use of flood storage areas is not necessarily for the sake of opposing Wang Anshi.
After all, the country's finances have not yet improved, and this will continue until next year, if there is no arrears, and there are no major disasters and military disasters, next year will be better, one is that the military expenses have been saved a lot, and the second kapok may bring a lot of income. But with that arrears, don't say next year, you won't be able to pay it off in five years.
Therefore, the state finances are still very tight, this flood storage area, not to mention the labor to build embankments, do you really need money?
Even if the land is thin, there are people living there, just like the more than 1,000 farmers in Suozao County, the court really doesn't care?
If the state is financially abundant and everyone opposes it, can they still say that they have ulterior motives, but now that the finances are tight, they are building flood storage areas to kill water, how can the ministers not oppose it?
Moreover, the Yellow River has become the water in the sky, that is, the embankment, and it also makes everyone frightened, so as not to be afraid of accidents.
But the problem is that the ministers rarely talk about the truth now, and no matter what happens, as long as it passes through their mouths, it has nothing to do with the truth......
Zhao Ji saw that the quarrel had begun, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "Go and send someone to bring Wang Ju to interrogate." ”
You don't fight with anyone, let those who understand come and talk.
Moreover, Wang Ju has been in the capital for almost ten days, and he has not been summoned once.
The eunuch arrived at the Ordinance Department and brought Wang Ju in.
In fact, the most alive person to participate in the dynasty is the minister of the Song Dynasty, don't look at the Han and Tang Dynasties are sitting, that is not sitting on a chair, but sitting on their own laps, not kneeling is also equivalent to kneeling, of course, the emperor is the same, everyone is each other.
The Ming Dynasty was a little better, kneeling first, kneeling and then getting up. The cruelest of the Qing Dynasty was to kneel all the time. Only the Song Dynasty did not have to kneel, although the chair was removed, but at most it was standing, and the ministers could still sit and talk to the emperor when discussing matters without paying attention to the etiquette of the occasion.
Therefore, Wang Ju was also casually, holding a tooth wat and stepping forward and said: "The ministers will meet Your Majesty and see the princes." ”
There is nothing like long live my emperor, long live long live and so on, as long as you say it in the front, it will be finished in the back, and you will be guaranteed that countless ministers will impeach you for your sycophancy.
"Wang Qing, take a look," Zhao Ji asked Huangmen to hand the disaster report from Hebei to Wang Ju.
At present, the disaster report only says that many areas of the Wuzhou Army were flooded by the Yellow River, but no specific number has been counted.
Wang Ju sighed after looking at it.
Where is the money, the state wants money, and he also wants money.
When he entered Beijing this time, when he was preparing for Zhao Ji's separate summons that day, he made a request to let the imperial court first take out some money and silk from the treasury, make some armor, and arm Zheng Baiqu's dozens of battalions of garrisons first.
After Wang Ju finished reading it, he asked Huangmen to hand over the disaster report back to Zhao Ji, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, on the river disaster and river work, only talk about the river disaster and river work." ”
Let me say yes, but you have to take matters into account, and you can't over-interpret them, and this interpretation will be troublesome.
"You only talk about the river." Zhao said.
"The minister first said one, the two strands in one, this is necessary, the two strands in one, more likely to flood, but let the Yellow River two strands into the sea, the flood season can play a role in diversion, but in the dry season the river water is slower, the actual northward flow of water, because the river water is slow, the sand accumulation is fast, has been shallow. Once all the two strands are shallow, the Yellow River will find its own outlet to the sea, which is not Hebei, but from the south into the Huai, which is even more dangerous. ”
"That's a good point, move on."
"At the end of last year, His Majesty asked the minister to look at the river, and the minister also looked at it, whether it was flowing north or east, the minister had seen many places, and he had always seen the Juma River and Haikou. Neither the north nor the east flow can contain the water of the Yellow River. The minister also repeatedly discussed the truth in the chapter, even if the country has the financial resources, using the minister's policy of entering the yellow and entering the economy is not a radical cure, at most to ensure that there will be no major accidents in two or three hundred years. Two or three hundred years later, there may be a new disaster, without him, there is too much sediment. So one place flows, and one part is broken. ”
But the radical cure, that mention does not need to be mentioned, it is useless to mention, in this era, still cultivate for forests, return mountains to forests, and then govern the desert Gobi Desert, not to say that Western Xia and Tubo have not been recovered, even if they are recovered, they do not have the ability to do it.
However, if it can lead Huang into the economy, if it is done well, it can indeed ensure that there are no major worries for two or three hundred years, and that is enough. As long as the Song Dynasty does not fall for two or three hundred years, or lives in a corner, and Wang Ju gives some guidance, I don't know how much impact it will have on this era.
"As an expedient measure, merging two shares for the east stream is definitely better than merging two shares for the north stream, Sima Gong also demonstrated. However, even for the sake of expediency, it is not possible to let disasters happen repeatedly, and the minister has seen some disaster areas in Hebei last year, and the people are extremely poor, so that the minister has encountered three groups of road bandits. There were even rumors that the court had let the ministers govern the ministers, so the people cheered. They didn't cheer because of the ministers, but thought that the imperial court finally wanted to really control the Yellow River, so they cheered. But the imperial court has the money to rule the Yellow River? ”
Zhao Ji pressed his hand on the dragon chair and trembled slightly, this is also a shame for the imperial court!
Then when he went to the Hori embankment to drain the water, the minister asked Cheng Fang why there was no Hori until now, and he said all kinds of difficulties, one is that there are ministers in the temple who are worried, and this worry is necessary, although the embankment does not need to be as tall and strong as the river embankment, but it is better to be careful. In case of cutting corners, the moon embankment falls, and the water rushes down, and even the capital will be adrift. The second is the resettlement of people in the flood discharge area. When the flood is flooded and empty, the people will definitely not be happy. However, the relevant officials also derelict in their duties, one is that they did not go to the imperial court to prepare for the placement of rescue materials, so the people were reluctant to relocate, and even after the embankment was opened, many people cried, scolded the ministers, and scolded the court. ”
"I have already asked the relevant ministries and departments to allocate money and food to revitalize the economy."
"That's good, the second official did not explain clearly to the people, this year's Horidi, there will be losses, even if the court rescues, there will also be losses. However, this is Horitsutsu, so they can transfer their valuables and belongings in time and ensure the safety of their families. It's not like the Yellow River suddenly bursting, that's a human tragedy. By next year, however, their thin farmland could be fertile. The gain is greater than the loss. But it was because the officials did not explain clearly that the people became resentful. But it is not a long-term solution, and if you want to kill the river, you need a large flood storage area. However, as long as the soil is improved after the flood is discharged, and the imperial court kills the water again, the people will really work hard. ”
Zhao Ji was said to be happy.
"So a few years later, even if everyone in the court agreed, there were not many flood storage areas. At that time, there was no flood storage area to kill the water, and the Yellow River would still have accidents. As for what Sima Gong said about raising the embankment, and then using the river water to wash the sand, so that the water flowing east becomes deeper and wider, the minister still disagreed, the minister said that the water and sand can not really be washed away, can only be said to slightly maintain a balance of power, the part washed away and the accumulated part can be equal, then thank God. But that's it, the minister also proposed, add a wisp of embankment to bind the water. The sediment accumulation is mainly in the dry season, and the river water is bound by the embankment and the lattice embankment, and then the moon embankment is placed in the dangerous section of the river to prevent water and waves. But what about the water flowing eastward, the strategy of restraining the water? The vast construction of the embankment and the embankment, the imperial court did not have that money. If you want to restrain the river and rush the sand deep, you must make the river narrow. But then, what happens when the river is not drained during the flood season? Therefore, the minister thought that Sima Gong's words were still the wrong strategy. ”
That is, the method that Sima Guang said, it will also not work.
The only way is to use expedient measures to deal with it for a few years, and after a few years, it is necessary to bring Huang into the economy and govern the river workers extensively.
All other strategies will lack embankments and overflow.
In other words, I will toss for this Yellow River every year in the future, let alone investigate the responsibility of that person, it is useless to investigate.
After Lu Huiqing waited for Wang Ju to finish speaking, he said: "In fact, if the imperial court really let Sima Guang go down to investigate, maybe there would not be today's story, but it is a pity that Lu Gong said that the imperial court sent Guang to treat Dong Gong, not so he admired his position and treated Confucian ministers." So the imperial court did not let Sima Guang go down, thus delaying the people of the five states of Hebei. ”
What does it mean, that is, river work and canal work are the work done by rough people, and Confucian ministers like Sima Guang should not preside over river work.
The background of this sentence is that Wang Anshi opposed Sima Guang going down to preside, Sima Guang was not convinced, and Lu Gongzhu faintly felt that this river worker was not so simple, that is, Sima Guang went down to preside, and if he didn't get it right, something would happen, so he said a sentence and completely dispelled Sima Guang's thoughts. This is a puddle of troubled water, Sima Junshi, you can't go. Sima Guang immediately came to his senses.
But Lu Huiqing turned over this old account here, and the problem came, the economy is not the work of Confucian ministers, and the gentleman is ashamed of his words.
The military cannot be touched.
Water conservancy and agricultural production are rough people's words, so what does the state do to raise these ministers? Is it just for the sake of repairing books and examining etiquette?
Or is Wang Ju just a rough man?
After Lu Huiqing finished speaking, he returned to the train, thinking in his heart, Wang Zi'an, don't you want to make friends with Su and Xiaosu, this is your end, don't look at you who repaired Zheng Baiqu, in fact, in the hearts of these people, you are just a rough person! R1152
