Chapter 1316 Good days are yet to come
Inside Kaifeng City, Su Yonglin smiled and waved to the people he saw, and then stepped forward to chat with them.

I asked them when they slept last night, how well they slept, etc. After a while of talking about their parents' shortcoming, they clapped their hands and asked everyone to do their own thing.

"The diversion of the Yellow River is over, but what we have to do has just begun. Work hard and live well. I assure you that the future will definitely be better."

The onlookers cheered and cheered loudly, and everyone's face was filled with smiles and longing for future life.

Then, Su Yonglin went to some merchants' stores, because he heard that many merchants took out the wine in their stores yesterday and invited the citizens to drink for free, so he planned to console them.

After taking a look at the general situation, Su Yonglin was sure that this matter was true. He went to many restaurants and wine shops, and what he could see was that the owner was directing a group of small workers to clean up the empty wine jars scattered all over the place.

Su Yonglin had a lot of contact with several of the owners. When they saw Su Yonglin coming, they quickly greeted him with a smile.

"I heard that you were bleeding a lot yesterday, and you directly took out all the wine in the store for free and invited people to drink it. Are you not afraid of going bankrupt?"

Su Yonglin asked with a smile.

Most of the owners said it was nothing, although it was a bit of a pain in the ass.

Su Yonglin felt that what one of the owners said was very representative.

"I was so happy yesterday, I didn't notice this, I just thought that everyone would be happy together. The Yellow River has been flooding for so many years, and many of us from Kaifeng are like this. It hasn't been a few days since he was born.

I didn’t say anything about the chaos of the army, nor did I extort the corrupt officials. If I was trying to survive, I just wanted to make some money to live a peaceful life. As a result, there was a flood. When the flood came, it would be overwhelming, and the city wall was not high enough. In this place, everyone has to wait to die, and business is a mess.

It's been a long time until now, Daming has repaired the Yellow River, and this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. Just one day, be happy, drink more wine, and celebrate. Although it is a little distressed now, think about the good days in the future. , I feel nothing. "

Su Yonglin patted the owner's shoulder and smiled at him.

"Don't worry, do your business well, don't cheat, and pay taxes on time. As for me, I'll be responsible for keeping the Yellow River safe and sound, keeping everything safe, no locust plagues, no floods, no corrupt officials, and so on. okay?"

The folds on the owner's face all laughed.

"With your words, it's not in vain that I have tried my best to live until now!"

This sentence made Su Yonglin remember deeply and could not forget it for a long time.

An hour later, Su Yonglin finished the inspection, and on the way to the public opinion consultation room for inspection, he was moved by Su Yong.

"It's too hard for the common people to live in peace and stability is their greatest hope, but few emperors in the past dynasties can do this, and now it's Daming's turn, how can I live up to their expectations? ?"

Su Yong, who was closely protecting Su Yonglin, was also quite emotional about this.

"Thinking about the places we walked through when we were young, and the hard-fought people we saw, I felt that God was unfair, but in fact, it is useless to blame God, and the people who caused all this have to be dealt with. Can."

Su Yonglin shook his head as he walked.

"Not only people, but also ideas, systems, economy and military, and technology. There are many, many levels. Ayong, we really still have a lot of things to do."

"Then let's do it. Ah Lang is only 30 years old, and there are still many days left."

"Indeed, there are still many, many days to come."

Su Yonglin's eyes turned to the distance, and his will became more and more determined: "As long as I am still alive, no one can go back."

In any case, the huge project that lasted five years, cost 400 billion yuan in the Ming country's national treasury, and mobilized 200 million people from migrant workers, criminals, and the army was a success.

The Yellow River diversion project was successful.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River, which has gradually collapsed since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and completely collapsed after the poisonous insects destroyed the Yellow River embankment, finally returned to its original direction, flowing at high speed in the river prepared for him by the Ming Dynasty.

The new river channel adopts a new design concept. Because the problem of the above-ground river cannot be solved at present, the river channel is not only reinforced with the original dam, but also additional reinforcement methods such as levee and moon levee in some key areas.

The concept of flushing sand with beams of water also has certain application scenarios.

In some areas where the river flow is slow, Tian Guizi led a group of water conservancy experts to practice the idea of ​​flushing sand with water, and constructed some water conservancy projects that can be used for flushing sand with water.

According to the actual situation, the effect is obvious.

Su Yonglin left Kaifeng on May [-], Hongwu Year [-], and walked along the new Yellow River with Tian Guizi, observing the new Yellow River both sides, and inspecting every Yellow River water condition observation site set up by Tian Guizi.

On May [-], after the two arrived in Jinan Prefecture, they had a light meal at a Yellow River water condition observation station in Jinan Prefecture, chatting while eating.

"At present, the Yellow River project has been completed and put into operation, and the entire headquarters related to the Renaissance will also be disbanded, all officials will return to their original positions, and then everything in the Yellow River will be handed over to the Ministry of Industry for management.

In order to enhance the powers of relevant departments, I plan to put forward a proposal at the next state affairs conference to set up a Yellow River Division under the Ministry of Industry, and a minister of the Ministry of Industry will take charge of the affairs of the Yellow River Division, and fully manage the maintenance and supervision of the Yellow River after the Yellow River. matter.

And in order to prevent danger, in key areas, I have set up storage warehouses for flood control materials in advance. These warehouses are not allowed to be moved, and they are directly handed over to the Yellow River Division for management. Once something happens, the Yellow River Division should be directly responsible. "

"In this way, the authority of the Yellow River Division is very important, and only one officer of the Division is probably not enough."

Su Yonglin said, "Is there any way to deal with it?"

Tian Guizi nodded.

"You can refer to the previous generation, as well as the legal officers and tax officers of our dynasty, and set up a special Yellow River flood guard to be managed by the Yellow River Division to enhance its power. In addition, when the Yellow River embankment is in danger, the state and prefecture where the embankment is located must obey. The dispatch of the Yellow River Division, mobilizing all human and material resources to help, must not be slack."

"Well, this can be discussed and discussed. Come up with a charter as soon as possible. In the current situation, the Yellow River Embankment still needs to be paid attention to."

Su Yonglin said slowly: "I think the Ministry of Finance should keep a little budget for the Yellow River every year, just in case it needs to be used, it doesn't have to be used up, just save what you can't use, and you can take it out when you need it. use, to avoid confusion.

In addition, I suggest that the Yellow River Division should also arrange a group of officials in Guanzhong and Hexi to supervise the situation of returning farmland to forests in the upper reaches of the Yellow River at all times. The local ecology must be well controlled. in spite of. "
