Wang Ju stared at the song, what was written on it, he could still remember about it, and then withdrew his eyes and said: "If this is the case, the lower officials will talk about water conservancy, and the matter is important, and the lower officials are not enough to think, so please ask Han Gong to gather all the important ministers in the capital in the political hall to discuss together." ”

"Why can't you say it now?"

"What Xia Guan said is not only Zheng Guoqu, but also the Yellow River, Jiangnan Jiangdong, Jinghu South Road and Guangzhou."

"Wang Ju, what do you want to say?" Ouyang Xiu shouted.

"Ouyang Gong, what the lower officials said is very important, state affairs are important, and I hope that the princes agree."

…………

"Childish, why do you agree with this kid?" Ouyang Xiu asked puzzled. Gather all the important ministers, who does this little king think he is?

"Uncle Yong, do you remember the Liuta River?"

Ouyang Xiu's face immediately changed.

When it comes to the Liuta River, we have to talk about the Yellow River, which is the mother river of China and has nurtured a great civilization. However, because the people cultivated it strictly, and because it itself passed through many desert and Gobi areas, it flooded many times. This is not terrifying, but the horror is every major diversion of the Yellow River.

If you look at the position of the Yangtze River now, it will not change too much, at most like the Taiping Army, that is, where is Dangtu, now the Yangtze River is located in the military city of the Taiping Army, maybe later due to the relationship of the earthquake zone, the Yangtze River will be pushed to the side of Hezhou for more than ten miles, and = there is an estuary getting smaller and smaller, but the overall position is still that position.

But the Yellow River is not, the oldest Yellow River is said to have been handed down from the Great Swimming Water, starting from the confluence of Luoshui and the Yellow River to the north, along the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain until Tianjin into the sea.

602 BC. The Yellow River was diverted for the first time. Break from the slippery state. It flows eastward in the north of Guanxian County, and then goes northward from Eping to the north, and enters the sea from Cangzhou. It was an incomparably huge disaster in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the third year of Guangwu Yuanguang, the Yellow River broke at Puyang again, and went southward through Juyeze from Surabaya into the Huai River. It wasn't clogged up until twenty-three years later.

Three years after Wang Mang founded the People's Republic of China, the Yellow River broke in the Daimyo's Mansion and flooded all the way to Qinghe County. At that time, because Wang Mang thought that the river would flow eastward, his ancestral tomb in Yuancheng would not be threatened, and he heard that the flood lasted for 60 years.

Then in the twelfth year of Donggong Yongping, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent Wang Jing to control the water, and greatly transformed the Puzhou River according to the topography, and entered the sea from Dizhou, which was maintained for a long time.

The Yellow River of the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Sixteen Kingdoms did not have much of a problem, but it began to come again in the Song Dynasty, and it flooded many times. Including the year when Zhao Zhen fainted, the Yellow River burst its embankment from Henglongsi. has been flowing north along the Daimyo's Mansion, and I don't know how many people have drifted away. Families are ruined. But it's just a disaster-level embankment, not an epic embankment, the epic is behind, in the eighth year of Qingli, Shanghu Si in Lanzhou broke the embankment, this time it was stricter, and the water overflowed most of the Daimyo's mansion at once, converging with the Wei River, and returned to Tianjin.

If the embankment is broken, then it has to be governed, but how to govern it, but there was a conflict, and Jia Chang built a new way to block Shang Husi. Ding Du thinks that when he learns from Wang Jing and sees the flow of the river, he decides to do it. This idea is not bad, but how many Wang Jing have been in ancient and modern times, in ancient times, Wang Jing was in the top ten in terms of water conservancy, was there such a capable person in the Song Dynasty at that time? This controversy was three years after the Yellow River burst its embankment at Guogukou again. The imperial court immediately sent people to Helong, but the silt and sediment in the waterway after Helong accumulated, and there was a possibility that the embankment would burst again at any time.

This can no longer be delayed, so Li Zhongchang wrote that the Liuta River came out and dug the Liuta River in Qingfeng County, which does not go to the sea, but can be used to divide the water, and at the same time can also restrain the Yellow River from entering the sea from its original path.

Ouyang Xiu wondered how it was wrong, so he looked through a lot of information, put it on one, and said three things.

Jia Changchao's restoration of the old road, that is impossible, because there is too much sediment in the river, even if the Yellow River is bound, or the river on the ground, it will burst at any time.

Ding Du's long-term plan is not bad, but you have to plan, after so long, where is your plan?

The Liuta River is an idiotic plan, how can the tiny Liuta River divide the Yellow River? The flow of the Yellow River is much larger than that of later generations, that is, it may produce a flow of several thousand cubic meters per second, and it may be a million cubic meters in an hour. So what about a day, a month? Therefore, the Liuta River cannot undertake this task, once the water potential is large, the river water will inevitably backflow, and the danger is even greater.

But no one listened to him, and then Zhao Zhen went crazy and said that Empress Cao wanted to kill him, and then the construction of the Liuta River began, and it was also built, so Helong Shang Hu Si. On the first day of the fourth month of the third year of the year, Shang Hu Si Helong, the river water guide zhì poured into the Liuta River, and then poured back from the Liuta River, and the main stream of the Yellow River hedged Shang Hu Si, the two waters were one, and suddenly Shang Hu Si broke again, and there were thousands of people and soldiers on the poor Si embankment who had not come down, and they rushed into the water and drowned. It was not Wang Ju's water in Qingxi River, although the water was fierce at that time, it was a stop, and it stopped as soon as it was discharged! This is the water of the Yellow River, where it will stop, thousands of people will not survive.

At that time, the prime ministers were Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo, and the Liuta River was approved by them, such a big thing happened, so much money was spent, and they had to be held responsible, the two brothers didn't admit it, they couldn't blame us, they wanted to blame the emperor, it was approved by the emperor, and we were just executors. Moreover, they also have a peerless martial art, called Qiankun Great Shift, Di Qing is sad. Everyone poured Di together, so they forgot about the Liuta River.

The Yellow River is also depressed, aren't these little ants quite able to toss, why don't you toss, you don't toss, I will find a way by myself, my own diversion, one continues to flow north to the sea, and the other is along the Yellow River old road, that is, the old road of Shandong before Li Jinggai River enters the sea, Jiayou five years, Han Zhen looks at this is not bad, it is your old man's own choice, so be it, dig the two rivers, and fix the Yellow River from now on.

But has this problem been solved?

No!

Therefore, Wang Ju and Zhang Qi talked about the Yellow River by the way, only said a few words, the Yellow River is two flows, so the road is first-class originally the river is shallow and small, and now the Yellow River sediment is far more than in ancient times, so after the rapid sinking, this old road can be quickly flattened. Without this old channel, the Yellow River would still have accidents.

The second is the northern road, in Hebei. Especially Cangzhou. Now it's the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes. There were many small lakes and ponds, so as long as the Song Dynasty held the first line of the three passes in central Hebei, it was difficult for the Hu people to go south.

Now, however, when the river flows northward, and when the water is mighty, it will rush to all the low-lying places, including all the lakes, ponds, and swamps, which are naturally and artificially dug for military purposes, and then the river sediment will settle. These lakes and ponds all disappeared together.

What are the consequences of disappearing? From the Great Wall Ridge to the east, hundreds of miles of defense line, a flat river, iron horses can gallop at will.

In that case, there is no way to prevent it.

Because it is related to the military, Zhang Ji recorded Wang Ju's words.

There is also Zheng Guoqu recorded, Wang Ju chatted casually, and then talked about Zheng Guoqu, saying that if Zheng Guoqu is rebuilt, tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land can be obtained. It can even solve the problem of irrigation of tens of thousands of hectares of arable land in other regions.

So Zhang Qi was also written in the song.

However, this recital is mainly about the silting of the Yellow River and the establishment of flood discharge areas, and these two events are almost brushed aside.

Unexpectedly, Han Qi paid attention to these two things.

Western Xia is the pain of ringworm after all. The country in the north is the behemoth.

After he received Zhang Qi's son, he immediately sent people down to check the two Yellow Rivers, and it was as Wang Ju expected. Please believe that Wang Ju has not been to the two Yellow Rivers once. It shows that Wang Ju has a better understanding of the Yellow River, or water conservancy.

But this Yellow River is a headache, how many manpower, material and financial resources are needed to repair it, and Wang Ju didn't say any solution.

This time, Wang Juju, but everyone knows that this is the end of it, and without financial support, it is impossible to expand the results of the battle. Han Qi thought of Zheng Guoqu again.

The main reason for the higher cost of using troops in Shaanxi is higher than that in Hebei, and the main reason is that the transportation cost is too high, and this transportation is mainly grain and grass.

It is precisely because of this grain and grass that they dare not transfer the three armies to the front.

The victory of Dashun City is also a fluke, Shaanxi is not short of food now, in case of drought and lack of food, I am afraid that Cai Ting and Wang Ju will usher in a catastrophe.

So he thought of this Zheng Guoqu again, but who understands?

If you don't look at this Zheng Guoqu, it will involve all aspects of knowledge.

Therefore, Han Qi wanted Wang Ju to try the water first, control the scale, and save money, but he failed, and the problem was not big, and the right was to accumulate a valuable experience.

Han Qi thought so, but Wang Juzhen agreed, it would be a lot more difficult.

Now that Ouyang Xiu had a question, Han Qi opened the song, pointed to the description of the Yellow River above, and said, "Uncle Yong, as that kid expected. ”

This is not a joke, Ouyang Xiu immediately said sternly: "In this way, he will have good opinions." ”

"I'm afraid not, but about to provide a built."

"Okay, just pamper him."

In fact, when Wang Ju was talking at that time, he only mentioned the Zheng Guoqu casually, the Zheng Guoqu of the Qin State was able to irrigate 40,000 hectares, but it was the Qin State, and now the water and soil in the Song Dynasty have deteriorated, and it is impossible to do it at all. If you want to do it, you can do it, but you have to pile up mountains of gold and silver, and ask if there is this mountain of gold in the treasury that can be piled down?

But even if you get 10,000 hectares of fertile land, or a little less, 5,000 hectares, that's good. These 5,000 hectares are not the camp of Shiheng, it depends on the harvest of the sky, it is possible to have one acre and one stone, and then throw away the seeds, there are only a few buckets. But these 5,000 hectares, if successful, may increase the grain of more than 1 million stone a year. If we follow the kind of transfer method promoted by Wang Ju in Huachi, it may be 1.5 million stones, 2 million stones, and the food of the entire Jingyuan, Huanqing, and Qinfeng three road sergeants is enough, and there is no problem with the grain for winemaking, and the cost of using troops will be reduced by more than half.

Han Qi thought well, but did he think about what if that happened and the population continued to grow?

In fact, in the final analysis, it is better to find a way to kill the Western Xia, even if it is not to fight, the military expenditure will save more than 15 million yuan a year. If you go to war, you don't know how much it will cost. Without this big burden, the Song Dynasty would be no less relaxed than changing into a new type of armor.

Han Qi immediately gathered the important ministers in the political affairs hall.

Zhao Shu is seriously ill, and Han Qi is almost in charge of military affairs.

Sixty or seventy ministers, not knowing what was happening, came to the government hall together.

Sima Guang and Peng Siyong felt very strange when they saw where Wang Ju was standing.

Zhang Fangping also saw Wang Ju, and he was also thinking in his heart, why did this little guy come to the political hall, not a place for you to stay.

Han Qi saw everyone coming and said, "Wang Ju." What do you think. Go ahead. ”

"Han Gong. This is ...... Peng Siyong is not happy anymore what kind of occasion is the political hall that is, if he doesn't have a heavy military affair, he can't come in casually besides this little kid.

"Peng Gong, listen to him."

Thanks to Han Gong's trust, Xiaguan started with Huachi County, and Xiaguan built many weirs in Huachi County. Of course, they are all very small, the big ones are only two or three hundred acres, and the small ones are only a few dozen acres, but Huachi County has many mountains and few valleys, and the density of the people is not large, and these weirs are basically enough. However, what Xia Guan wanted to say was that so many weirs were built, and the county did not take a penny, nor did it cause a single controversy. ”

If you don't look at the construction of a reservoir, it's also very troublesome. If it is not done well, it will lead to a dispute over water sources, and reservoirs will be built. will drown some fertile land, if you want to do it without a little dispute, it is very difficult and difficult, Wang Ju can do this, and he can indeed show it off in front of such a big guy. However, Wang Ju is not to show off, but to lead to the following topics.

"The reason for this is that I am not holding back the water, but diverting the water, and deliberately studying its depth, during the flood season, everyone is only worried about the water, so there will be no dispute about the water being diverted into the weir, and in the dry season, the depth of the diversion canal is not enough to attract the water from the various rivers and streams, so that there is no water conflict. The second is the site selection of the weir, which must be dominated by saline-alkali land or gravel land, which has limited yield, even if it is submerged, the people do not regret it. Therefore, there is no dispute. However, it is difficult to achieve these two things, especially in the selection of sites, not only low-yield saline-alkali gravel land, but also lower in height than the leading streams, so that the site can be selected. However, this kind of terrain mostly forms small marshes, or forms new river valleys, and the banks of the bank can be pastured and cultivated, and they are not optional. Therefore, it is often far away from the river and uses the undulating terrain in Huachi to select the site. However, in this way, the two are far apart, and the high and low measurement is a big difficulty. ”

Speaking of which, everyone understands.

Don't look at these small weirs, it's really difficult.

"But they have a benefit, when the Tangut people arrived, I chose Qingxichuan as the location for flooding, Qingxichuan is more said to be a river than a stream, so the enemy will not pay too much attention. Therefore, it was necessary to divert water from the Daliuchuan River, and it took me two or three days just to select the water diversion place and measure the height error. But the water of the Qingxi River cannot be blocked together, once the Qingxi River dries up, the people of the Western Xia will be suspicious. If you can't let the water flow increase, then Songji, who is familiar with the local topography, will also be suspicious. So the height of that embankment is very strict. In fact, it is an important water conservancy project I would like to say, the water dam! ”

"Dam in the water?" Zhao Yi twisted his beard, as if the term was familiar.

Wang Ju asked the hall officials to bring a large map of the whole country of the Song Dynasty, and he was not polite, and drew it from Tanzhou to the south with a brush, including the two Guangzhous together. Put down the pen and said: "This is the south, too far away from the capital, and the northerners are not very accustomed to it, in fact, the south has the disadvantages of the south, but also has its advantages, such as crops can be harvested three times a year, such as the grass cotton." Why is it so miasma, everyone spreads it too mysteriously. The reason for this is that the population is sparse, there is a lot of decay, and then the mosquitoes crawl on it, contaminated with poisonous gas, a very small germ, smaller than mayflies, and these mosquitoes then run to the human body to bite, and then the germ bites the human body, and begins to multiply in the body like a bloodsucking worm, leading the person to suffer from malignant malaria. Especially the army, if you don't pay attention to hygiene and mosquito prevention, and when you send troops to the south in the hot weather, one person suffers from malaria, and other mosquitoes come to bite again, because the army huddles together, and then quickly bites others, and a plague comes. ”

Dozens of important ministers actually listened to it.

Although it has nothing to do with water conservancy, this is the first time I have heard this statement.

But this is not trivial, look at Pan Mei's troops in Lingnan, when will it be? Winter and early spring. Look at Guo Kui's troops, when is it? July, August, September, so half of them were recruited and had to be withdrawn.

So Wang Ju mentioned it by the way, and said: "If there are more people and you pay attention to mosquitoes, there will be no more miasma." Once such a large place is developed, although the road is far away, I have developed ships to the sea, and I can also rebuild the spiritual canal, and the imperial court will still get benefits. ”

When it comes to the navigation industry, later generations often think of Zheng He's voyage to the West. In fact, the official presiding, the Song Dynasty is no less than the early Ming Dynasty, the scale is only large and not small, and there is even a saying that the Southern Song Dynasty set up the customs (City Shipping Division) in the Champa and the Strait of Malacca.

Grain is impossible, but some goods with a slightly more expensive price can still be transported to the capital.

But if you want the court to benefit, the two Guangxi must be developed, otherwise the people will not be able to survive, how to benefit.

"Of course, it is not the center of gravity of our country, so it is unlikely that a large-scale water weir will be repaired and steep fields will be placed. However, there are two low-cost methods, one is the barrel car. When Taizong was in the mansion, because the palace was high, he used this cylinder car to draw water into the mansion. There is also the Lantern Festival of the Lantern Mountain, there is a fountain on the Lantern Mountain, the lower official did not see the end, it is estimated that he also used the cylinder car to draw water to the high place, and then diverted the water to the Dengshan. Therefore, in ancient and modern times, there are many strange and obscene skills, and they are not also, and they are used rightly, and evil is evil. Everyone, please take a look. ”

Wang Ju took out a drawing from his bosom, on which he drew a cylinder cart and placed it in a rushing stream, the cylinder cart would draw water to a high place, and dispose of a wooden trough from which the water could be diverted everywhere, and even irrigated the terraces.

The cost is not very high, even if the situation at home is slightly better, a family can buy it.

Wang Ju continued: "However, it is not as large as the scope of application below. ”

That's the dam in the water, and the dam is under the water. (To be continued......) R1292
