I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 659

Three months later, the Huazhou dam collapse has become a thing of the past.

In today's Huazhou, apart from Hou Shuxian, who is in charge of the flood discharge canal and the flood discharge gate, and Li Jie, the master of the engineering army, there is no need to stay in Huazhou for a long time.

After three months of support from all sides, Huazhou not only replanted winter wheat, but also tried planting Annan rice, and even cleaned up the silt outside Huazhou city.

Huazhou has resumed its pre-disaster daily life.The imperial court also continued to develop with each passing day.

"Officials, the Huazhou flood discharge gate is expected to be completed by the end of November. The veteran believes that in order to prevent the Huazhou incident from happening again, the Yellow River in Gyeonggi Province and Jingdong Road should be treated during the dry season this winter..."

What Wang Anshi said about harnessing the Yellow River, Zhao Xi understood, was to clean up the silt at the bottom of the Yellow River to strengthen the dams.

In fact, this is a consolation, whether it works or not, it is really impossible to judge.

The silt was cleared, and in the second year, the silt was even thicker and higher than the previous year.

As for the reinforcement of the dam, it is nothing more than continuing to increase the height, so that the current Bianliang is facing the Yellow River.

Today's so-called water conservancy experts are nothing more than achievements in construction.

"Old Wang Ge thinks how to control the Yellow River?"

"Go back to the official's house, clear the mud, and build dams!"

Sure enough, it's a cliché, nothing new.

"Old Wang Ge, what do Hou Shuxian and Li Yi (another water conservancy master) say?"

"Going back to the official's house, the matter of harnessing the river is nothing more than these two methods. The minister also specially consulted, and the method is the same."

Isn't there some beam of water attacking sand?Zhao Xi is not sure.

Zhao Xi's understanding of the management of the Yellow River, or can be said to be the understanding of maintaining soil erosion, there is no such method of river governance purely for the sake of river governance.

As for raising the height of the dam, cleaning up the silt, and even widening the area of ​​the water flow, Zhao Xi also knew that it was a temporary measure, not a cure for the symptoms.

Just how to convince the cabinet ministers, Zhao Xi is still going to use examples to speak.

Therefore, Wang Anshi's proposal cannot be denied.Just put it on hold.This is also because I don't want to slap my face, so as to avoid embarrassment after the facts are proved.

······
The officials actually invited the cabinet and some of the ruling ministers to a banquet!

For the court, this is simply unprecedented.Everyone knows that the official family is quite boring, and has almost no entertainment interests, except for government affairs, which is work.Under the guidance of the official style, the ministers and workers of the court also reduced their banquets.

Today, the government actually invited ministers and workers to a banquet! Location: Jinming Lake.

It was late autumn and early winter, and although the water in Jinming Pond hadn't frozen yet, the trees had withered, and there were no flowers and plants to admire. I really don't know what the officials meant by organizing a banquet in Jinming Pond at this time.

However, invitations from officials are rare, and some ministers and workers are already preparing poems and essays for official banquets. The end of autumn naturally has the scene of the end of autumn, and the country is most worried about poets and essays.

It's just that cabinet ministers have to be more reserved.Because they know the officials too well, even if the disaster relief in Huazhou is quite successful, the officials will not have the heart to feast.

Even to express the success of Huazhou's disaster relief, there was no celebration banquet held with great fanfare, but there were many rewards.

Officials know how to measure and know when enough is enough. When their reputation is pushed up to a certain level by the people, the officials feel calm.

The so-called banquet this time is probably not that simple.

really······
Jinming Pond is still the same Jinming Pond. Beside the water area of ​​Jinming Pond, I saw three sets of sand tables with different contrasting terrains... This is not a banquet, it is for everyone to receive education in the autumn wind.

Indeed, Zhao Xi prepared three sets of contrasting terrain sand tables for this convening of ministers and workers, using the waters of Jinming Pond to test the effects of water and soil conservation, water beaming and sand attack, and segmental damming for flood discharge irrigation.

"The first set of examples is the government's verification of a new water control method: beaming water and attacking sand..."

Wang Zhongzheng was forced by the officials to give an explanation.There is no way, all the terrain sand tables were made by Wang Zhongzheng with the eunuch maid, just like playing.Wang Zhongzheng is the only one who can stand out in front of the ministers and not be disgusted and despised by the ministers... It is impossible for the officials to explain.

"Sand attack by beaming water is to build a dam again on the inside of the original dam, and beam water in a trumpet shape at a specific position to form a turbulent water flow in a certain area, and use the speed of the water flow to carry away the sediment and avoid sediment deposition."

What Wang Zhongzheng said was dry, purely memorized.Fortunately, I didn't miss anything, and explained the basic situation clearly.

While explaining, the inner supervisor released the sluice connecting Jinming Pond...
The water flow of Jinming Pond flows down from a high position, and it is divided into two streams from the gate, one is the general dam mode, and the other is the so-called beaming water attacking sand by the government...
As the water flows down, the same model with sediment accumulated, after the water flows past, what people see is different...

Everyone took the staring old Yuan... Zhao Xi as an image, the amount of sediment accumulated was not much, and in the model of beaming water to attack sand, after the water flowed through, the cement surface at the bottom could be seen clearly!
"Officials, this plan is feasible! I am willing to preside over this winter's project from the Qing Dynasty!"

Li Yi is over 60 years old. The moment the old man saw the effect of Shushui attacking sand, he forgot that there were still many political discussions and cabinets ahead of him, and directly challenged the officials!
"Li Aiqing, don't worry."

For officials who do things, Zhao Xi has always supported them.

"Officials, attacking sand with beams of water should have a very obvious effect. It just washes down the sediment in Gyeonggi Province, and the flood control of Hebei Road will increase the pressure..."

"As the rich minister said, drawing water to attack sand is only a temporary measure, and it will treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Let's look down, fellow ministers."

The second sand table model, just like the terraced fields seen by Zhao Xi's later generations, can also be said to be a graded Doumen sluice.Each floor, each level of the dam, set up several small canals at different positions of the reservoir...

As Wang Zhongzheng commanded the inner supervisor to open the second set of models, the water in Jinming Pond rushed down instantly... the reservoir on the first floor was full, and while overflowing the embankment, those water diversion tanks The small canal also began to flow through.

In this way, the amount of water reaching the second layer has been significantly reduced by overflowing the dam.By analogy, the third and fourth floors... This time the water released by Jinming Lake is obviously much more than the first model. However, everyone can see the effect of such flood control... ····Obviously avoided the disadvantage of transferring the pressure to the downstream!
At this time, no one spoke anymore.

The officials have prepared three sets of models, and looking at this arrangement, it seems that one set is more effective than the other.I have forgotten the coldness of the autumn wind, and I am looking forward to seeing the surprises that the third group of modes will bring to everyone.

"The officials said that this is also a temporary water control method, and it also cannot change the nature of the Yellow River carrying sediment."

Wang Zhongzheng commanded the inner prisoner to close the gate of the second model... and led everyone to the third group of models.
