248 Xin Wan’s ridicule

But what Xin Wan asked people to bring out was actually similar to the sand table.

Inside the wooden plate are simple models imitating several rivers, the main lines and branches of mountains, rivers, and some scattered buildings or bridges and ponds at different locations on the river.

The people occupying the rivers are basically families with good reputations and family backgrounds. Xin Wan has already obtained the data from Bingxiao Palace.

The buildings on the river are also some of the landscapes and gardens built by the wealthy families using the river for convenience, making money and other benefits.

However, these people also consider not to occupy too much of the river channel, so many designs also use some bridge holes to disperse the water flow.

Small families don't dare to be too conspicuous, but some with good status and background, the area occupied by the river is actually not small at all, but it is not too large and not too eye-catching.

Xin Wan picked up the teacup in his hand and poured a cup of tea at a branch in the middle of the Yunjiang River. The water slowly passed through the models and then flowed downstream.

Xin Wan reached out again and took out all the buildings on the river, which was equivalent to clearing the obstacles on the river. When the same glass of water was poured in again, the water instantly flowed downstream and entered other branch rivers below.

Mo Yu seemed to have some realization and looked at Xin Wan in disbelief.

Xin Wan knocked on the model wood plate hard and said, "Shui doesn't think so! What's the use of just repairing the main river?"

As he spoke, he pulled over the map on one side and pointed up one by one: "This, here, this, this. If the river cannot pass quickly when the water is strong, it will inevitably block upstream and gather more and larger water flow, causing the water level to rise quickly." Rising, what is the result of raising the water level? That is, we need to find other breakthroughs, so we have formed breakthroughs in weak areas and low areas in different places!

If all the rivers along the branches of the Yunjiang River are wide and unobstructed, and the water flows downhill unimpeded, then when the flood comes, will the river water be able to rush downstream quickly and then enter the sea? These places will still burst every year. ? "

"This~" Mo Yu felt that what Xin Wan said was very reasonable. He looked at the simple model wooden plate and map and fell into deep thought.

Xin Wan continued: "If you want to control the water, it depends on whether the prince has the courage to preach to these wealthy gentry and families, and whether he can demolish the so-called small river channel they occupy.

As long as this problem is solved, the branch rivers continue to widen and the embankments are raised, and there will no longer be any obstructions to the flow. Not to mention the floods on both sides of the Yunjiang River in the future, several towns and counties in Suoyun City that were affected by the disaster will be flooded for so many years. An unreasonable disaster.

If you go to all the branch rivers and have a look, this situation is not accidental. It is basically like this. Rich people build viewing courtyards, teahouses, and restaurants beside the rivers in order to occupy places with favorable water views and attract people. More business!
And because of the special status of the people occupying the land, those who followed the trend only restrained themselves slightly. Everyone felt that occupying such a small river channel did not matter.

It doesn't matter to you, and it doesn't matter to him either. As a result, few places on the upper and lower rivers are unimpeded.

However, when the water comes down, it will be blocked by various twists and turns of buildings, which will inevitably slow down the water flow. There is no place for the upstream water to smoothly escape, and it will accumulate higher and higher and find a breakthrough in other weak places.

It is actually not difficult to manage this waterway. The difficulty lies in who can influence the interests of these people! "

Mo Yu looked at Xin Wan with some admiration and said, "You really dare to say it."

"Why don't you dare? If the prince wants to make a contribution and stabilize your power in the future, he can implement this year's disaster relief and repair some serious rivers.

If the prince wants floods to stop happening in this area and spread to the surrounding areas, slowly and continuously expanding the affected area, and if he really wants to solve the flood problem once and for all, then it depends on whether you really dare to touch these people.

In other words, to put it more unpleasantly, I am just an ordinary person. I am not someone who specializes in water conservancy. I have seen the roots of some problems just from my perspective.So please?There are so many officials in the imperial court who specialize in controlling floods and professionals who understand water conservancy. Are they really ignorant of these issues? ! "

After Mo Yu heard this, his face instantly turned ugly.

Xin Wan had said all that, so how could he not see clearly what was going on here? None of us were three-year-olds. Some facts were out there, but few people dared to put them in the open. .

These people just don't dare to offend the powerful, or collude with each other, so they release water every year to control where they are. Rivers in various places are managed every year. A lot of money is spent, but they never fundamentally want to solve the problem.

Xin Wan thought for a moment, and then asked Song Bu Ya: "The data confirmed by Bingxiao Palace shows that 100% of the money used by the court for disaster relief or flood control every year is in place?"

Song Buya looked at Mo Yu sarcastically without saying anything.

How could all the money of the imperial court be in place? If you peel it off layer by layer, it would be great to have half of it at the bottom. Otherwise, why would there be a few corrupt officials and their houses confiscated every year, but so many people take risks for the sake of glory and wealth? I always feel that I Will be the lucky one who can take advantage of the loopholes.

Mo Yu's face became increasingly serious.

Xin Wan snorted coldly: "I'm afraid it would be good if one-third of it could be implemented and put into the hands of the people.

And if Suoyun City hadn't had those wealthy gentry and Bingxiao Palace take the lead in disaster relief every year, and in order to protect their homeland from becoming riddled with holes, they would have provided money and food for disaster relief, which could be considered a good deed.

I'm afraid if we really relied on the imperial court for everything, Suoyun City would no longer be the Suoyun City it is today!
Just like this disaster relief, the government immediately opened warehouses to release grain, but have you ever gone to see what the grain looks like, what year the grain is, and where the new grain turned in every year has gone.

The amount of food is enough to feed these victims for several days. Will the court continue to provide disaster relief in the future? !

Besides maintaining law and order, blocking some dangerous road sections, and managing the homeless people, what else did they do? !

The people who give out porridge and provide disaster relief in the refugee camps every day are the wealthy households. Those who have money and food provide food to ensure that the refugees will not riot and break into other towns to rob, disrupting the order of this beautiful city. The food that I, Bingxiao Palace, took out alone amounted to one million kilograms.

Not counting cloth, clothing, tents designed by me and other disaster relief supplies, so not a single refugee in the disaster-stricken towns and counties of Suoyun City fled north and begged for help in other prefectures and cities. Is this credit really your court's?

And if Bingxiao Palace and those wealthy households do not take action and just point at the court, what will happen to Suoyun City?
Failure to provide timely disaster relief will inevitably lead to more dangers in the future. Refugee riots or the spread of plague will affect the stability of the city and economic instability.

There are floods and floods all over the south every year. There is no place that is not affected by disasters. But what are the flood control officials doing? "

Xin Wan was really angry, because since ancient times, she had not only read books and TV series, but also seen many cases of officials' inaction, and she banged the table.

Songbuya couldn't help but laugh at Mo Yu's aggrieved look, thinking that his wife was his wife, and no one in the world would dare to say such a thing.

Xin Wan looked at Mo Yu's darker face and continued without any politeness: "Hmph! I understand why my father doesn't like being a rich prince. He is so breathless and sometimes has to pretend to be blind.

I don’t believe that officials who are not honest can also bring up so many hidden dangers and some facts, but I am afraid that because they have blocked the way of others and harmed the practical interests of some people, they have either been squeezed out, framed or directly lost their official positions.

If the Yufeng Kingdom continues like this and does not uproot those powerful people who harm the interests of the country, sooner or later there will be a more miserable day! "
