When Emperor Renxuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel regret in his heart.
To be honest, for just a moment, he actually had hope that Gu Beichuan could solve the Canglan flood issue.
It's a pity... In the end, this logic still doesn't make sense.
The soil, as we all know, is very compact.
Otherwise, how can it withstand a living person standing on it?
Even if it is washed away by the rapid river water, it will not collapse in a short period of time.
If it takes a long time, some soil will indeed be washed away.
But certainly not much!
It is impossible to reach the point where the riverbed in the Canglan County basin will rise!
After all, that is an astronomical figure that makes everyone stunned!
Therefore, in the final analysis, Gu Beichuan's words are still illogical.
The most critical part fell down!
Seemingly seeing the regret in Emperor Renxuan's eyes, Gu Beichuan did not care. Instead, he asked: "Your Majesty, do you know what is the difference between this Tianyuan County and the surrounding counties?"
Emperor Renxuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He recalled the report about Tianyuan County in his mind and slowly said: "It is a bitter cold place with strong winds all day long."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's the strong wind that ruined everything!"
"Is the strong wind bad? The strong wind really makes the people of Tianyuan County miserable. When it is the most severe, it can even destroy houses. It is considered a big disaster. However, the strong wind in Tianyuan County is different from the strong wind in Canglan County. What does the river basin have to do with it?”
"This is a relationship that cannot be dealt with!"
"No, there is a huge connection here!"
Emperor Renxuan became more and more confused, but Gu Beichuan's eyes became brighter and brighter as he spoke, as if containing light.
"Brother, think about it carefully, why is the soil so compact?"
"It's because there's water in it!"
"This water cannot be too much or too little. If there is too much water, it will become mud. If there is too little, it will become the soil of Tianyuan County!"
"The soil of Tianyuan County? How is it different from other places?" Emperor Renxuan frowned. Although he was the emperor and held a high position, it was impossible for him to personally intervene in many matters in every county.
So I just have a general impression that the soil in Tianyuan County is not fertile and difficult to cultivate. Coupled with wind disasters, it has become increasingly poor over the years, and the court has to reduce and exempt a lot of taxes for it every year.
As for the specific problems with this soil, I don’t know.
"Brother, have you ever hung out your clothes?"
"You have to know that drying clothes in a windy place is much faster than drying clothes in ordinary places."
"What's the explanation?"
Emperor Renxuan was stunned again when he heard this. Wasn't he talking about the soil of Tianyuan County just now? Why are you talking about hanging clothes again?
He is a majestic emperor, and his usual dragon robes and crown clothes are all taken care of by the palace eunuchs.
Therefore, I really don’t quite understand the matter of hanging clothes.
So he turned his attention to Pei Burang. Although Pei Burang also held a high position, he had never seen clothes hanging out.
At this time, Emperor Renxuan seemed to know that the time had come for him to perform, and he immediately patted his chest and said boldly: "It makes sense."
The pride revealed in his words was as if he was not the commander of the imperial army, but a Confucian and Taoist scholar who studied heaven and man.
It seemed as if what he just said was not a trivial matter such as hanging clothes, but a shocking truth and knowledge.
Fortunately, Emperor Renxuan had become accustomed to Pei Burang's troubles during this period of time, so he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he nodded towards Gu Beichuan and said, "Even so, what does it mean?"
"There's a lot that can be explained here."
"First of all, we have to understand the reason. Why is it much faster to dry clothes in a windy place?"
"Because the wind can take away the moisture in the clothes!"
"Similarly, Tianyuan County has strong winds all year round, and the moisture in the soil is naturally taken away. Over time, it becomes... windy sand soil!"
"Sandy soil? What is sandy soil?" Emperor Renxuan asked with a frown.
"The particles are small and non-sticky, just like sand and dust!"
boom!
As soon as these words came out, a certain string in Emperor Renxuan's mind seemed to be connected!
Gu Beichuan had talked about him before and said a lot of nonsense, but at this moment, it was all connected in his mind!
Like sand and dust!
Although he is a pampered emperor, he probably still knows what sand dust is.
That thing can be easily blown up by strong winds!
After blowing, if it reaches the Canglan River and encounters water vapor, it will condense into lumps and fall into the river.
In the end, this was supposed to be the sediment that fell in the Tianyuan County river basin, but because of the flow of the river, it all ended up in Canglan County!
This led to the Tianshangjiang phenomenon mentioned by Gu Beichuan just now!
It is precisely this phenomenon that has tortured Daqian for hundreds of years and has stumped countless talented people with lofty ideals in water control!
But now, this reason has been figured out by a young man who is still young and has not even reached the crown!
It's really... I'm really lucky!
Emperor Renxuan felt surprised and happy at the same time.
No wonder he just said that those predecessors never found the right lesions, so they just wasted their efforts.
The source of the floods in the Canglan River Basin is in Tianyuan County!
How can one imagine this? No effort is wasted until there is a ghost!
Emperor Renxuan let out a long sigh and looked at Gu Beichuan with brilliant eyes.
"Sometimes, I really want to dig open your brain and see what is inside that makes you have such unusual thoughts."
"It's amazing, it's really amazing!"
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes.
Dig your head? I'm still conducting experiments on slices. Do you think this is still the case in future generations?
"Tell me, what do you want from telling me this?"
Emperor Renxuan was a very smart man, or in other words, if he were not smart, he would not be able to hold the position for thirty years. He has experienced many storms but has never wavered.
These things were all thought up by Gu Beichuan.
If you don't tell him, once it is reported to the court, all the credit will be his!
But now that I have told him, it is equivalent to getting a piece of the pie.
There is no such good thing in the world, not to mention that Gu Beichuan is a businessman and he always pays attention to equal exchange for everything.
Therefore, Emperor Renxuan asserted that Gu Beichuan must have wanted something when he told him this.
As expected, after hearing this, Gu Beichuan smiled and nodded. Talking to smart people saves effort.
"After all, I am a Marquis. Although I don't always get to see the current emperor, compared to a white person like me, my hope is undoubtedly much greater."
"So I hope that I can convey this to you. As for the credit, I don't want much, it's just enough for an official position."
Emperor Renxuan smiled when he heard this.
