Wan Chengxun's measures are not complicated.
1. Raise and strengthen embankments.
No matter what we do to the Yellow River, we must first ensure that the Yellow River will not overflow and burst its banks before future measures take effect. At the very least, the number of dam breaches should be reduced.
The heightening is also to increase the flow of water in the Yellow River, so as to wash away the sediment that has settled on the river bed for many years.
Second, combine water flushing with sand retention in wide rivers to manage river channels according to local conditions.
This requires running the entire Yellow River. The management method will then be determined based on the sandiness of the Yellow River and the disrepair of the embankments.
Third, build dams upstream to control the flow of the Yellow River to a certain extent.
In the event of a major flood, dams can effectively relieve pressure downstream.
Fourth, restore water and soil in the middle and upper reaches.
After thousands of years of development, the ecology of the Loess Plateau has reached its limit. It is here that a large amount of sediment is washed down from both sides of the bank by the rapid river water and carried downstream.
Fifth, dredge the sediment at the bottom of the Yellow River.
The benefits are obvious, but implementation is extremely difficult. It's a good idea in the early stages. But it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.
Sixth, follow the example of Cao soldiers and set up river soldiers.
The purpose is to protect the safety of the river, but Jia Hui feels that the river soldiers can only play a role when the officials govern Haiyan and the river. However, as time goes by, the river troops will inevitably become more and more bloated like the canal troops, and the court's heavy investment over the years will inevitably lead to corruption.
However, with the advent of corruption, some technical talents who have truly mastered the methods of regulating the Yellow River and have been working as river soldiers for generations are unable to truly enter this industry.
Da Qi's cavalry troops have already shown signs of this.
It's not okay to kill a group of people at regular intervals, but not every emperor has the courage and power to kill.
But you can’t stop eating because of choking, right?
. . . . . .
After seeing a few more tributes that the emperor focused on, everyone dispersed.
Those who should be doing errands should be errands, and those who should be having fun should be having fun.
Of course, it’s okay not to have fun. Those here are the core team of Daqi. They can go to the Kaihuang Palace to discuss matters.
Jia Hui rarely stayed. On weekdays, he would rush home to play with his children after morning.
"What do you think about Wan Chengxun's method of controlling the river?"
The emperor was the first to ask.
Everyone looked at each other, they didn't understand this and could only understand it literally.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Wan Chengxun deserves to be the empress of Wan Shen, the famous minister of river control in the previous dynasty."
There was no more sound.
"Is this method feasible?" the emperor asked again.
Everyone remained silent. These measures looked good, but if there was any oversight and the Yellow River broke its banks, then as decision-makers, they would be infamy for all eternity!
"Your Majesty, I feel that Wan Chengxun's method is feasible, but an on-site survey of the Yellow River is required before a final decision can be made."
Jia Hui decided to come forward.
This is almost the same river management strategy used by the Qing Dynasty in the previous life, except that Wan Chengxun’s method added an additional method to manage water and soil in the middle and upper reaches, and prevent wind and sand.
Due to the limitations of the times, the former Qing Dynasty failed to realize the seriousness of soil erosion in the upper reaches, resulting in the Yellow River still frequently bursting its banks.
It needs to be admitted that the brilliant achievements of the Qing Dynasty's river control projects are inseparable from the river control experience left over from the Ming Dynasty. Not only that, there is also an inheritance relationship between the two. It is precisely because of the continuous practice and failure experience of the Ming people that the Qing people's probability of success in river control can be increased.
In any case, the Yellow River management project carried out by the Qing government in the early and mid-Qing Dynasty did have many positive impacts and achieved many results. After the river control project was basically completed, the Yellow River has been in a relatively stable state for decades.
As for what to do after the founding of the People's Republic of China
We don’t have the technology and conditions.
At the very least, the Qi Dynasty could not organize millions of manpower to build the Yellow River together.
At this time, the Yellow River itself has not reached the point where it is in danger of breaking its banks and returning to its old course, and must be repaired.
But the current situation of flooding the Huaihe River into the sea is not a problem. Returning to the ancient path is also an inevitable step in the management of the Yellow River.
"In addition, river management is not something that happens overnight. It is a huge project that takes ten, twenty, fifty, or one hundred years. The most taboo thing is to give up halfway."
You can't just repair it if you have money this year, and leave it there if you don't have money next year.
"These things are still far away. I don't know whether Wan Chengxun's method will be effective or not. It would be better for him to enter the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry and experience for a few years." Minister Kong Zonghongda, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said.
"How many years does this so-called year mean? Does Da Sikong think that the Yellow River can listen to you and stay calm for six or seven years until Wan Chengxun has gained experience before it floods?"
"Hu Miu! Then according to your wishes, Wan Chengxun will be appointed as the doctor of the Ministry of Water Resources immediately after the government is over and lead people to repair the river? What if there is something wrong with his method? Are you going to be scolded?"
The civil and military officials were divided into two groups and started to quarrel.
One group is the conservative group. Their philosophy is that the current method of maintaining the Yellow River is still good, and they will wait until Wan Chengxun has had a few years of experience to really rectify a few rivers and see the effect before making a decision.
One group believes that opportunities come by chance. In recent years, the political situation has been generally clear and clear, and the world is probably at peace. Since the beginning of spring, the weather has been good and it has been a good year. The most important thing is that the court is now rich!
"To put it nicely, corvees will be required to repair the river! Don't forget how Qianyu died!"
At the end of the Yu Dynasty, the warlords fought in a melee. The Lulong Jiedu envoys led the Mengwu into the pass and swept across North China. Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi and Du Chong dug up the Yellow River, forcing it to change its course and seize the Huaihe River to enter the sea.
Such an unscrupulous act directly detonated all the conflicts in the world at that time, and this began a chaotic world that lasted for more than a hundred years.
Until the Great Liang Dynasty, two mountains were built, carrying the overflowing Yellow River and the Mengwu Mountains in the north.
To solve the problem of Mongwu, it will take several years of river management money to be diverted, which may not be possible.
If you want to heal the river, you will have to divert decades of money to fight against the Mongols, but it may not be possible to heal it.
Coupled with the increasing number of redundant soldiers and officials, the Great Liang Dynasty can be said to have perished due to financial collapse.
"Look what Da Sikong said, our financial problem has been solved by our Jia Taiwei a long time ago. We have money, 400 million taels of silver!" Talking about the financial collapse in front of Da Si Nong of the Ministry of Revenue is a slap in the face. Xia Tong looked at it with a proud look on his face. Looking at Grand Sikong Zong Hongda who was choked by his own words and was speechless.
No, it’s obviously my fault, why are you more arrogant than me?
Jia Hui glanced at Xia Tong with disgust.
"I think it would be better to build the river as soon as possible. Now we have the right time and place, no matter the human, financial, material resources."
"Hold on, Lieutenant. Do you have enough manpower?"
Da Sikong interrupted Jia Hui’s speech.
"Yes, those people in the world are too busy to rob officials and their money. They are obviously full of energy and have nowhere to vent. I think building a river is a good way to vent their excess energy."
. . . . . .
Datong, the mountain gate of a certain sect
ruins.
Jiang Huan was sitting on a big rock with a happy expression on his face.
Ever since the Taiwei ordered him to go south to Datong Town to clean up the Jianghu, he had become Jiang Huan's favorite by destroying his family and then killing his uncles and brothers one after another in front of the toughest person. project.
"Ah, senior brother, I beg you not to kill my senior brother! Kill me, kill me quickly, Dog Officer!"
A petite and delicate girl was lying on the ground and was stepped on by Jiang Huan. She watched helplessly as her senior brother who usually bought her candied haws had his head chopped off by an eagle-clawed grandson.
Of course, occasionally when the sect met a junior sister who was favored by the group, Jiang Huan would replace the person who watched the massacre from beginning to end to them.
Then he would personally play the person to death, the method of playing depends on the gender.
Jiang Huan has been disliked by his father Jiang Sheng since he was a child because of his perverted personality and bloodthirsty nature.
Jiang Huan didn't really care.
Perhaps because he is a pervert, he rushes out to risk his life without fear of death when encountering an enemy. He quickly accumulated a lot of military merit and is now a general in Datong Town.
That is to say, he is still young and has only been in the industry for a short time. He is only sixteen years old, otherwise his position could be higher.
The Great Qi Dynasty has always been very tolerant towards geniuses and prodigies, such as the current Taiwei Jia Hui.
If it were placed in the previous dynasty, the Ministry of War would have been tolerant by not suppressing you for more than ten years. Are you still a lieutenant at this age? Return to the Duke? I'll give you the viscount and have some fun!
"Dog officer, kill me, kill me!"
The girl kept lying on the ground, kicking her legs and struggling to get rid of the dog officer who had been pressing her behind her, even if turning over could hurt him!
"That's not okay. Where did you go? I killed this... one, two, three, four. You just killed six people. You can't stand it anymore? The eldest lady from Jianmen next door killed you I didn’t cry until I was almost thirty.”
Jiang Huan said to the junior sister on the ground with some satisfaction.
"Why, why did your government want to kill us? What did we do wrong?" the younger junior sister asked Jiang Huan through sobs, tired of crying.
"You didn't do anything wrong? Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? If you really didn't do anything, why would our officers and soldiers come here to destroy you all?"
Jiang Huan stepped on the little junior sister's feet harder and harder.
"Uh. Why."
Holding back the pain in her back, the junior sister struggled to ask the question she wanted to know the most.
"Want to know?" Jiang Huan tilted his head.
"Uh-huh."
"Of course there is no problem, but you need to pay some price."
The junior sister felt the huge force behind her disappear. She felt light all over and quickly got up and was about to jump away, but a boot caught her chin and made her unable to move.
"Have fun with me."
"W-what?" The junior sister didn't react for a moment.
"Don't you understand? I said, play with me and have fun, just like the Datong mother-in-law that your sect sells outside plays with me. Do you understand?"
"Aunt Datong, our sect is well-known in the world of justice in the three Jin Dynasties. How could we do such a shameful thing! Master, this must be a dog official."
The little junior sister turned her head and looked at the leader expectantly, hoping to get his approval, but the leader did not dare to look at her.
"Hehe, look, your head doesn't even dare to look at you anymore." Jiang Huan grinned and suddenly became serious again.
"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to have fun with me?"
The junior sister watched in silence as the senior brothers in front slowly lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.
Ah.
"Okay, but can you let us go?"
"Hmm, let's see how you perform..."
. . . . . .
The sky was getting dark, and two figures were twisting on the ground.
The surrounding officers and soldiers turned a deaf ear and only watched the disciples in front of them with vigilance, in case they could not bear the humiliation and collectively broke out and hurt others.
Lest they disturb the general's mood.
It's just that these remnants kept their heads down and had no intention of resisting, which greatly disappointed the officers and soldiers.
When it was over, the boy lay on his side on the ground, staring directly at the ruins not far away with his mind empty, and blew into the girl's ear.
"Can you tell me why now?" The girl was tired of crying and lay on the ground unable to move.
"Hey, don't worry, my credibility has always been praised by others."
"Why on earth."
Others in the sect also pricked up their ears.
"Because you abducted the six-year-old daughter of my Datong border army brother."
"General, found it!"
The discerning commander-in-chief saw that his general had finally finished his work, and then he came to the naked general lying on the ground with his account book.
"Tell me where Su'e was abducted!"
Jiang Huan gently stroked the girl's neck.
"Su'e. Su'e was beaten to death when she tried to escape. Her body was found and buried in the vegetable field behind them."
Jiang Huan gently stroked the little junior sister's hand and paused.
"Beat to death?"
Jiang Huan tilted his head.
Click!
The little junior sister's body hardened, twitched a few times and then softened.
Loosening his grip on the little junior sister's neck, which was obviously a little longer, Jiang Huan stood up again, looking at the corpse on the ground with an indifferent expression, and then at the remnants next to him who were knocking their heads on the ground.
"Chop it into pieces and feed it to the dog!"
The officers and soldiers of Datong, who had already turned red-eyed, raised their weapons, panted heavily and gritted their teeth as they advanced towards the remnants.
Jiang Huan stood there, staring at the bloody crowd, and allowed the soldiers to dress him.
"Hey, that piece of meat is not minced enough, how did you chop it! Give me another hundred cuts to see how it feels!"
Jiang Huan suddenly pointed at an unskilled soldier and shouted loudly.
"Yes! I will punish myself with another hundred knives!"
"good!"
Jiang Huan nodded happily, looking at the soldier who looked like a teachable boy.
As expected of the soldiers brought out by me, they are diligent!
"Where's Su'e?"
"Here he is! But there is no coffin, so we can only aggrieve our eldest niece."
The general flag looked at a sandalwood box carried by two people behind him.
This box was originally used to store ledgers.
"Go, go to the best coffin shop in Datong and buy the best coffin for our eldest niece. I, the uncle, will pay for it!"
"I will thank General on behalf of Pao Ze!"
Several Datong border troops who were standing around on guard immediately fell to their knees in excitement and kowtowed heavily to Jiang Huan.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing! Am I not your boss anymore?"
"General!"
The border soldiers had tears in their eyes and looked at Jiang Huan with excitement as he spread his legs and swayed.
I will follow the general until death!
"Report! General, the captain has an order!"
