Destiny Only Han

Chapter 880 Liu Ying: Losing public wealth and robbing people's land×Under the world, is it the land of the king√

Taishan Palace, Qianyuan Palace.

"Book of Changes" has a cloud, the great Qianyuan, the beginning of all things, is the unification of the sky.

Therefore, the main hall of the palace, which was specially used to enshrine Zen, was named Qianyuan Hall.

At this moment, Liu Ying was sitting on the side near the window, and the coolness and steam came to his face, making his groggy head feel a little cool because of the cold.

So he groaned.

"Who calls He Guang? A reed hangs it. Who calls Song Yuan? I look forward to it..."

"Who called He Guang? Zeng Rongdao. Who called Song Yuan? Zeng didn't worship the dynasty..."

This is a song "Wei Feng · He Guang", which aims to describe the urgency of a wanderer who misses his hometown but cannot return.

But Liu Ying is not homesick at the moment, but worried about the Yellow River.

After all, it was already afternoon at this time, but the torrential rain was still there, as if the sky had leaked a hole, and the next one was endless, and the water in the courtyard was almost overflowing the first step, and this was the artificial lake dug by the Taishan Palace. , well drained.

Therefore, it is really conceivable what the outside world is like.

The important thing is that this rainfall not only occurred in the Central Plains and Hebei, but also spread to Hedong and Guanzhong. The water levels of Weishui, Jingshui, and Fenshui are also rising rapidly, which directly caused the water level of the Yellow River to skyrocket!

In the other corner of the hall, Wang Ling and Lu Ze were sitting opposite each other, their faces full of sadness and a little bit of amazement.

fast!
too fast!
What they said was fast, not only because of the full deployment of telegraphs, but also the speed at which the center of the empire could control information from all over the place. Compared with the previous mail trucks and flying pigeons to send letters, it was ridiculously fast!
What made Wang Ling and Lu Ze sigh more was the dozen or so busy servants in the hall.

The servant is one of Lang Zhongling's subordinates, but he is actually Liu Ying's personal secretary.

According to the decrees of the Han Dynasty, Lang Guan entered Taiwan Province and was called Shi Lang three years later.

Under Liu Ying's adjustment, the source of Lang Guan is not only the nephews of high-ranking officials and eunuchs, but also the children of civilians recruited from the private sector. Temporary workers' become full-time workers and become established Yilang, Zhonglang, Shilang, and Langzhong.

At the moment, these dozen or so busy servants are from the Royal University of Geosciences, and their main studies are mineral exploration and map drawing.

Therefore, under their cooperation, a very vivid Yellow River trend chart appeared on the desk.

Well, to be precise, it is the trend chart of Dahe.

Today's Han "crossing the river and demolishing bridges" has abolished many names inherited from the Qin State, such as the Yellow River, which was changed from the previous Deshui to "Dahe". After all, the Qin Dynasty pursued the virtue of water, and the Dahe was renamed Deshui. , but Han is Huo De, so it is natural to change it back for him!
Liu Ying sniffed, and walked slowly from the window to the edge of the sand table.

Wang Ling hurriedly got up and followed, Lu Ze slowed down on purpose, and only approached quickly when Liu Ying had already approached the sand table.

After all, he is the emperor's uncle, and seeing his uncle is like seeing his mother, so naturally he needs to take it...

Liu Ying pretended not to see it, and pointed to the sand table and asked, "How is the river embankment here?"

Wang Ling took a closer look and saw that Liu Ying was referring to Juan County in Henan County (Yuanyang County, Henan Province). He nodded and said, "Fortunately, it's just that the water level has risen, but it's still more than a foot away from the old embankment... "

Liu Ying was a little relieved.

After all, the Yellow River has not changed its course in this year, and it still follows the old river course of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

And the result of those two breaches was that the Yellow River took the Huai River into the sea for the first time in history.

Therefore, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River can only be preserved if the embankment in Juan County is intact.

After all, the main location of the Yellow River's previous embankment breaches is the more than 200-kilometer river course between Zhengzhou and Puyang in later generations.

So after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, a dam called "Qin Dike" was built here. The old dam mentioned by Wang Ling is this Qin Dike.

On the other side, Lu Ze asked: "The old dam? Does that mean there is a new dam?"

Wang Ling nodded: "Exactly. The new dam was built ten miles away from the old dam, which is four kilometers away from the new weight and measure."

Lu Ze was a little puzzled: "Why don't I remember it? When was it repaired?"

Wang Ling explained again: "The second year of the Great Sage."

"The Dushui Supervisor took the lead. The state treasury contributed 3000 million yuan, and the king of Liang contributed 2000 million yuan. A total of 5000 million yuan was used to heighten and strengthen the original Qin embankment. In addition to the old embankment, another new embankment was built for flood control. At the same time His Majesty paid 170 million to resettle the households within the new embankment..."

Lu Ze nodded without saying a word, with a clear smile on the corner of his mouth.

The country and King Liang paid for the repair of the embankment, but in the end it was his nephew who spent a small amount of money to buy people's hearts...

High, it is high!

Well, it's normal for Liang Guo to take the money.

After all, the places where the Yellow River is most likely to burst are all within the Liang Kingdom. For example, in 132 BC, the Yellow River burst its embankment, and the river flowed all the way south.

A large amount of silt carried by the Yellow River accumulated in Juyeze, which eventually turned the place from a lake into a quagmire. After that, the Yellow River diverted to the north again, and Juyeze became land.

As for Liang Shanbo in the later generations, this is mainly a coquettish operation of my iron-blooded Song Dynasty.

Well, they just couldn’t beat the Liao people on the opposite side, and then dug the river embankment, causing a large area of ​​yellow flood area to try to stop the Liao cavalry. But by accident, eight hundred miles of water was created in Liangshan, leaving a good story...

So, the only lesson humans have learned from history is that they have not learned any lessons from history... A bald head inexplicably appeared in Liu Ying's mind.

Well, it's Lu Tai.

Lu Ze looked at the sand table, then looked at Liu Ying and asked, "Why don't you build a new embankment instead of building a new embankment on top of the original Qin embankment?" The method of "water attacking sand" can solve the problem of sediment accumulation in big rivers..."

Liu Ying smiled: "Because I don't need it."

Lu Ze asked sideways, "Why?"

Liu Ying explained:
"The reason why the water in the great river is full of silt is that the silt and sand imported by the Jing and Wei rivers, and the silt and sand carried by the river when it flows through Beidi, Jiuyuan, and Shangjun."

"In this way, after the big river rushes out of Luoyang, the terrain becomes flat, the flow speed drops, the sediment settles, and the river bed rises, causing the water level to rise, and finally rushes out of the dam and floods."

"Therefore, the root of everything lies in the management of water and soil erosion in Jingshui, Weishui and the upper reaches of the Dahe River. Simply put, it is to prohibit the felling of trees, to prohibit the reclamation of farmland outside the designated agricultural reclamation area, to limit the number of livestock in the livestock area, and at the same time Move water-intensive factories down rivers..."

Lu Ze froze for a moment, thinking that he was really old.

He heard everything Liu Ying said clearly, but he didn't understand it. He didn't understand what soil erosion was, and he didn't understand why farming and animal husbandry were restricted and factories were moved away. More importantly, what did these have to do with the huge amount of sediment carried by the water of the big river? relation……

After all, he has been in the Kingdom of Lu all these years, and he advises Nongsang on a daily basis. He basically does not go to Guanzhong, nor has he had the opportunity to intervene in government affairs. Therefore, compared with Wang Ling who is nodding frequently beside him, he is like a country bumpkin entering the city...

But actually, Wang Ling didn't quite understand either.

But that's not important, what's important is that he has to act like I understand that His Majesty the Emperor is really awesome. Anyway, there is a high probability that Liu Ying won't ask questions, so this is the way these old officials get away with it...

Liu Ying knew this well, but she didn't break it.

So he looked at the sand table, and said to himself regardless of whether Lu Ze understood it or not: "It is precisely because the old dikes always break down that there are new river dikes built after the two old dikes. "

"In this way, even if the old dam fails to stop the flood and causes the embankment to break, the flood will still be contained in the riverbed by the new dam!"

"Double insurance, it can basically be foolproof..."

Lu Ze blinked and asked again: "Then you still look worried?"

Wang Ling coughed, and when Liu Ying looked over, he cupped his hands and said, "The old minister is disrespectful, and please punish me, Your Majesty."

Liu Ying shook her head indifferently, looked at Lu Ze and said, "Didn't you say that the households within the new dam were moved out? So there was a large piece of fertile land between the two dams. After all, it is close to the big river, and the irrigation Convenient, and the soil is also very fertile..."

"And these naturally cannot be wasted, so the Dushui Supervisor leased these lands to some farmers with little land..."

"so……"

He didn't say it clearly, but Lu Ze understood it instantly this time.

The fertile land between the old and new dikes is Liu Ying's private property, so naturally she doesn't want the farmland to be submerged by floods!
It's really shameless, just spending such a little money not only gained a good reputation, but also reaped thousands of hectares of fertile land... Lu Ze tried his best to suppress himself, lest he act on behalf of the mother, and violently beat up Liu who competed with the people for profit and harmed the public and private surplus.

But Liu Ying was also full of emotion.

The river embankment is only for defense, and what really works is to control soil erosion upstream and build large reservoirs to regulate water flow.

For example, Xiaolangdi.

Well, the Sanmenxia Reservoir was a failure. (Note 1)

But the crux of the problem is that today's Han Dynasty cannot even reproduce this failed product, not only because of insufficient productivity and the gap in technological level, but more importantly, the Yellow River is abundant today, and it is a golden waterway that can barely be called river.

After all, the capital of the Han Dynasty is Chang'an, which is on the bank of the Yellow River.

Although land transportation is still required for water transportation, in any case, the convenience and cost of water transportation are far lower than land transportation, even if there are already trains and railways.

Liu Ying moved slowly to the window, and continued to play the role of the weak person who was sick and begged for care...

Wang Ling and Lu Ze looked at each other, then continued to sit back to their original places, paying close attention to the continuous information coming from various places.

This is the tragedy of beating workers...

Note 1: Baidu it yourself.
