Everyone doesn't know why.
Why should we pour water on this good "topographic map"? Isn't this a breakdown?
It was washed away.
After the two Ouchi guards poured down a bucket of water respectively.
on two tables. Among them, many of the bare peaks collapsed immediately after being washed away by the water. The muddy water flows into the "Yellow River", half of it is sand and half of it is water.
The other table, with a mountain covered by vegetation, was much better. Although there is some muddy water coming down, the "Yellow River" below is still clear.
"It turns out that this is why the water in the Yellow River is turbid." A clever person blurted out.
"It turns out that the sediment on the Loess Plateau is the source of the turbid water in the Yellow River." Someone else shouted.
Everyone was whispering to each other.
No matter they are officials, imperial guards, eunuchs, squires, or the common people, they all know it.
Why is there such a topographic map?
There is no sediment on the mountain peaks with vegetation.
There is no vegetation on the mountain peaks, and the sediment has fallen.
easy to understand.
No other explanation is needed.
After a long time, the whispers in the crowd became much quieter. Everyone raised their heads and their eyes fell on Wu Nian.
Before this, many people did not believe that Wu Nian could make the Yellow River clear.
But now I gradually believe it.
Before, people didn't know why the water of the Yellow River was turbid. There is a saying circulating throughout the government and the public.
When the saint comes out, the Yellow River becomes clear.
It seems that only this world has a great saint. Only then can the Yellow River be clear.
Now. They knew why.
If there is a reason, it can be solved.
And Wu Nian said it before.
He wants to control the Yellow River.
"Does Your Majesty plan to plant vegetation on the Loess Plateau?" Hojo Ujimasa reacted very quickly and said to Wu Nianyi.
"That's right. As long as you plant vegetation on the Loess Plateau, you can prevent sediment from entering the Yellow River. The water of the Yellow River will be clear."
Shi Xian's face turned red and he said excitedly. But soon, he calmed down and felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy.
It's not that easy.
As the governor of Shanxi, he already feels how busy he will be in the future.
Wu Nian had too many demands on Shanxi.
First.
The coal mines were enclosed and nationalized.
second. The hundreds of thousands of acres of land harvested by the big dog owners during this period were distributed to the mountain people. Send people to visit secretly, and move the people down the mountain wherever they are the poorest.
At that time, he thought it was just Wu Nian who was being kind. Now he knew that Wu Nian had already planned it.
If we move the mountain people down the mountain, wouldn't it be possible to plant vegetation?
third.
Shanxi is a poor province, but with the important city of Yanmen Pass in the north and the Yellow River defense line in the south, it has to share some military supplies.
Others include rectifying officialdom, building schools, etc.
Now we have added the management of the Yellow River and the Loess Plateau.
Shi Xian took a deep breath and gradually became excited. OK. I can definitely do it. I am the emperor's first scholar, a young governor of Shanxi.
As long as I work hard, I can accomplish anything.
I want this place in Shanxi to become Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall.
Wu Nian didn't notice the change in Shi Xian's mood. He turned his attention to Hojo Ushimasa, clapped his hands gently, and said with a smile: "Ujimasa. You're on to the point."
"Not only the Loess Plateau. The bare peaks along the Yellow River need to be planted with vegetation. Gradually, the water of the Yellow River will become clear."
"It will no longer change the course of the river repeatedly and flood the fertile fields on both sides because it carries a large amount of sediment. From a furious lion, it has become the true mother river of China."
"And the Loess Plateau. Why is it so desolate? Because its soil cannot lock water. Reach out and grab a handful of soil, and it will disperse with the wind. With the coverage of vegetation, water can be locked. The dust in the sky, There will be less. With moisture, the crops planted by the mountain people will grow well."
When Wu Nian said this, he gradually became excited. The Yellow River that I love and hate. If this river can be cured, it will be the real mother river.
He composed himself and said in front of everyone: "It's just. It's very difficult."
"On the Loess Plateau, there is already drought and little rain. It is extremely difficult to plant trees."
"What's more, the land on the Loess Plateau is barren. Every village is working hard to cultivate the mountain fields. They drive sheep to graze in the mountains, wishing they could eat up all the grass roots."
Wu Nian sighed, looked up at the thousands of village dignitaries and squires in front of him, and fell silent.
The officials, imperial guards, and eunuchs present were all fine. They were not from Shanxi.
But the Shanxi people present felt the same way.
On the Loess Plateau, mountains are connected with mountains. When the wind blows, the loess flies all over the sky. The whole of Shanxi is not immune.
This was fine before.
This is how our ancestors came here.
got used to.
But now they see hope. Very anxious, very anxious.
What should we do?
With their intelligence, they really can't think of a solution. They could only turn their attention to Wu Nian, hoping that the Han emperor could help them.
Sun Tinghe, who originally didn't believe it, took a deep breath, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please have mercy. Use your divine power to control the Yellow River and the Loess Plateau."
"Your Majesty, please have mercy."
The rest of the people reacted and quickly knelt down and knelt down together.
Wu Nian laughed dumbly at what he said. It's like I'm a god. He shook his head, rarely put on a show, and asked seriously: "Is there a way to cure me?"
"But it won't work without the cooperation of you Shanxi people."
"I am willing to help you, are you willing to help me?"
Sun Huchen blurted out: "Your Majesty controls the floods and benefits the people. If anyone dares not to cooperate with Your Majesty, I will kill him or not."
There was a "pop" sound. Sun Tinghe quickly raised his hand and hit his grandson on the back of the head. Then he kowtowed and said in fear, "Your Majesty, Cao Min's grandson is a fool. Please don't get along with him."
Sun Huchen's eyes widened, Grandpa. Why do you call me a fool?
Wu Nian smiled and shook his head: "He is a young man, and he has a sincere heart. How can I care about him?"
"Your Majesty. As long as the Loess Plateau can be transformed into Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall and the water of the Yellow River can become clear. We are all willing to cooperate with Your Majesty and the government."
"Villages, towns. Common people, mountain people, residents. We are willing to persuade them one by one."
The knowledgeable squire finally understood why Wu Nian summoned a group of them to come to Taiyuan.
The next work will definitely be complicated and arduous.
We need local snakes like them to come forward to appease and frighten the people and mountain people.
The others reacted and kowtowed, expressing their willingness to cooperate.
"Okay." Wu Nian's face showed a look of relief, people. Who doesn’t want their hometown to get better?
As long as the government is willing to do the work.
What we do is practical work and personnel matters.
The common people will grit their teeth and support the government.
"I am willing to allocate a special amount of money from the national treasury to pilot it in Shanxi to do one thing."
"Return farmland to forests."
"I and the imperial court will fully support you, the people of Shanxi."
"But you people in Shanxi also need to pay a heavy price."
Wu Nian raised his head with a serious look on his face.
