Chapter 818 The River Works Plan

The county magistrate, the experience of the government is a smooth transfer, not a difficult task, because it was transferred within the government. Lin Yanchao wrote a letter to Zhao Wenxing, the Ministry of Personnel, asking him to complete it within one month.

However, for Lin Yanchao, the work of the river engineering was about to come, and it would take less than a month to wait. So he transferred Huang County Magistrate to the mansion to serve. For the obedient and capable Gu Zhubo, Lin Yanchao recommended him to be the county magistrate.

With Huang County Magistrate, a capable helper in governing the river, Lin Yanchao immediately felt relieved.

After returning to the government office from Yucheng County, the construction of river construction was imminent.

The Huang County Magistrate presented a major plan for river engineering to Lin Yanchao.

Huang County Magistrate’s major river engineering plan was to build several sections of a hundred-mile-long tiles along the Yellow River in the remote dike.

Although the plan to build the Ludi dike was very good, Lin Yanchao felt that the operation of this matter was quite difficult and did not immediately agree to Huang County Magistrate.

On the second day, Lin Yanchao came to the government office and saw County Magistrate Huang holding several bundles of books under his armpit, waiting outside Lin Yanchao's signing room.

"Zi Tong, so early? You didn't sleep all night last night?" Lin Yanchao asked.

Huang County Magistrate had a single name, Yue, and his name was Zitong. But when Huang Yue looked at two panda eyes, he said seriously: "Meng Sima was entrusted by the great work of the River Engineering, how dare he not do his best? The lower-ranking official did not sleep all night last night, and he was devoted to repaying Sima's kindness for his kindness."

Lin Yanchao looked at Huang Yue again. If a scholar like Huang Yue loses his integrity, he will be even less honest than a normal person.

After saying that, Huang Yue presented the book under his armpit and said aloud: "This is the river map that flows through the thirteen counties that Xiaguan has painted for decades. He will present to Sima Zhuan. Using this map to govern the Yellow River is like watching the palm of his hand."

After saying that, Huang Yue smiled confidently, as if he was facing the middle of the mountain. When Zhuge Kongming presented Liu Bei with "The Picture of the Fifty-Four Prefectures of Xichuan" to Liu Bei, he was full of confidence.

Lin Yanchao handed the book to Chen Jichuan beside him and said, "Zi Tong, after I have eaten breakfast, I will talk to you in detail?"

After saying that, Lin Yanchao entered the signing room, leaving Huang Yue with an awkward look.

Then Huang Yue followed in with a thick face.

Soon after, I served breakfast, and the main food was hot and fried egg porridge. One serving was filled with fragrance, a stack of pickled radish and a pot of fragrant tea.

Such breakfast is simple and healthy.

Lin Yanchao was the prefect of the government, and the kitchen was delivered to the public housing every day. As for Huang Yue, he was not treated so well. Like most officials in the mansion, he left the canteen for dinner.

Lin Yanchao was having a meal while looking at the river map. Seeing Huang Yuehou looking hungry beside him, he ordered him to serve a bowl.

Chen Jichuan put a small bowl of him from the small pot as soon as he was spoken.

Huang Yue was really hungry. He ate a small bowl of hot egg and meat porridge and ate it in a few seconds.

Lin Yanchao took a sip of fragrant tea, put down the river map, and asked Chen Jichuan to serve Huang Yue with another bowl of fried egg and meat porridge, and then said: "I have eaten more, but I have not eaten much, and this is enough for me."

After Huang Yue finished the second bowl of porridge, he took the towel and handed Chen Jichuan and wiped his mouth, and said, "Thank you, Sima, it would be great if the common people in the mansion could eat such fried egg and meat porridge every day."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "This is also our wish to be an official."

Huang Yue sorted out his thoughts and said: "Sima, this wish is not difficult. As long as the water conservancy method of the subordinates can be implemented, the government will not talk about the daily skin, eggs and meat porridge, but at least the people will not have to worry about food and clothing."

Lin Yanchao suspected: "Water conservancy first, and agricultural affairs will be developed later. Although there is a bunch of water in the dam, it is probably difficult to rely on the dam to make the territory's governance within a few years and make the people eat a full meal. Zitong, would you still persuade the farming and sericulture?"

Huang Yue immediately looked embarrassed when he heard this: "The officials in the lower class are stupid and can only manage rivers and do not do farming."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I want to listen again, what you mentioned before is the method of falling and solidifying the dike?"

When talking about Huang Yue's career, he regained his confidence and said erotic: "Actually, the day before yesterday, I and Sima said nothing but Lu Dike and Yao Dike. In fact, there are also Ge ​​Dike and Yue Dike, which are the methods of four dikes."

"Thunder dike, the veil, the veil, the veil? What is the use of this veil, the veil?"

"The levees converge on water, the levees are detained from floods, the levees fall into silt, and the levees are prepared for danger. The levees are built on the front line along the river and are built with a shorter construction. When the river rises heavily, the water will fill the top of the levees, but it will not wash away the levees."

"As for the remote dike, it has been built, two miles away from the river, tall and strong. When the river water surges, it will not cause the river to cross the dike and flood the dike, and the dike will not collapse."

"As for the grid, it is a horizontal dike, built between the Lu Dike and the remote dike. The Lu Dike and the remote dike are sandwiched together with the upper and lower grid dikes, which is like a mouth. When the river water overflows the Lu Dike, the river water will wash along the remote dike, which can easily destroy the root of the remote dike. Once the grid dike is built, it can block the water momentum and allow the river silt to be deposited in the dike and not wash to the downstream."

"If the lei dike collapses, the river water flows along the dike and returns to the lei dike, and still returns between the lei dikes, avoiding the risk of seizing the river and protecting the remote dike. When the water recedes, the silt land will be left high. The silt land can protect the roots of the remote dike and become the supporting dike of the remote dike."

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be amazed by the Gedidi designed by Huang Yue. Such wisdom simply crushed most officials. Even if they read the Four Books and Five Classics countless times, they could not think of this method.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but ask, "How did you come up with this solution?"

Huang Yue smiled and said slowly: "Xiaguan followed his father to the Yangtze River when he was young. He thought that the river water was magnificent and fiercer than the river water. Why hasn't the river been as harmful as the river?"

The runoff of the Yangtze River is several times that of the Yellow River. Why did you only hear of the Yellow River in ancient times, but you never hear of the great harm to the Yangtze River?

"What's that guy has?"

Huang Yue said: "I dare not take the creative ideas. In fact, the officials were inspired by Duke Xiang of Liu Zhuang. He said that rivers are not as good as rivers because they are not measured by lakes. The lakes under the river are mostly accumulated by silt, or used as fields. There was originally a Mengzhu Lake in Guide Mansion. Mengzhu Lake is the head of the nine shuis and is still above Yunmeng Lake. Unfortunately, Mengzhu Lake was silted during the Northern Song Dynasty."

Duke Xiang of Liu Zhuang was Liu Tianhe, a capable minister in charge of river management in the Ming Dynasty. Jiushu was the nine largest lakes in ancient times. Mengzhuze was originally in Guide and was a lake in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, but it was finally silted by silt and now it has become a farmland.

"If Mengzhu Lake is there, the rivers in our territory will never be tyrannical today. Therefore, the officials of the lower government came up with a thunder dike that was several miles wide between the dikes, which could not only silt, but also store water and retain floods."

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Zi Tong said very well, but..."

Huang Yue sighed and said, "It is also a difficult situation for Sima. The Heming Bank allocated by the river yamen is only enough to repair the remote dike. There is no question of building another burrow. What's more, the matter of burrowing burrows requires the North Dike Yanzhou Prefecture to agree, so that the two governments can coordinate the construction of the burrows."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "This is a bad statement. Heming Bank is not enough. I can borrow it from the bank. Beidi Yanzhou Prefecture did not agree. I can go to the river yamen to file a lawsuit. In short, this wisp of dike must be repaired."

Huang Yue said in surprise when he heard this: "Sima, this..."

Lin Yanchao said: "Cultivating a thread embankment is not only for river management. I remember you said before that the government and the people of Yucheng County broke the Yellow River embankment and irrigation. Although the land that was repelled from the bribery was silted, the dam collapsed during the flood, and the water covered the matter of several counties?"

Huang Yue nodded and said, "That is, the fertility of silted fields is five times higher than the high fields, and ten times lower than the land. People are greedy for the profit of silted fields, and often break the official dam, and even if it is overflowing many times. This government has never been prohibited..."

During the Northern Song Dynasty, people often dug up the Yellow River silt, which eventually became ammunition for the old party to attack Wang'anshi's farmland water conservancy law.

Speaking of this, Huang Yue suddenly asked in surprise: "Did Sima want to use the river water to silt?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and smiled and said, "That's right!"

After saying that, Lin Yanchao opened the river map and said to Huang Yue: "There is two to three miles wide between the distant dike and the river. If we build a lei dike, all the widths of these lei can be used as silted fields. The lei dikes in our territory are in Xiayi, Yucheng, and Shangqiu, which are about a hundred miles long. In this way, we can have more than a thousand hectares of silted fields, which is more than 15,000 acres of silted fields. If we count them in Yanzhou, it will be twice as long."

Huang Yue couldn't help but slam the table and said, "It's wonderful, it's really wonderful. Why didn't the official think of this? Sima is really capable ministers and officials. No wonder Sima is a native of Jiangnan. He must have seen the pier by the lake, so he came up with this method, right?"

Lin Yanchao smiled when he heard this, as a default.

Huang Yue carefully speculated the details and said: "The land volume in Yucheng, Taihu County is only more than 2,000 hectares. If you really get it, wouldn't it be that half of the land in Yucheng County be added? It's just that if the fields are silted in the dike, it will only be easy to cultivate for half a year."

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "The flood season of the river is from May to August. The silted fields can be sown in September. When harvested before April of the next year, although it only planted for one season, the benefits of silted fields are equal to that of the lower fields. The silted fields in the dike can be cultivated in winter and spring, and retreated in summer and autumn."

"This is much safer than breaking the dam and irrigating the farmland outside the dam. Besides, the river water does not rise and fall every year, and there is even a time when the dam is cut off."

This method of using the silting field in the dike was used, and Lin Yanchao was a method used to learn from later generations at home and abroad.

There are summer embankments abroad, and the difference between winter embankments is heavy in summer. Retreat to the summer embankment, wait until the water passes, then guard the winter embankment, and then use the summer embankment and silt land between the winter embankments.

In modern times, people also live between the Yellow River dike and the remote dike.

There are even people who built their own production dikes in the Yellow River embankment, which is also a use of the silt of the Yellow River to farm. However, the people built their own production dikes, which were much higher than those of the Ming Dynasty dikes in order to greed for profit. As a result, it affected the flood flow and was repeatedly ordered to be demolished by the government.

Huang Yue exclaimed: "The construction of a burrow can not only make the burrow solid, but also get thousands of hectares of silted fields. This is a wonderful method of killing two birds with one stone. If it can be promoted, why worry about the river not being able to be cured?"

"But the officials are still worried that He ICBC is not enough. Can Sima consider repairing Shangqiu or Yuxian first?"

Lin Yanchao waved his hand and said, "You are worried that Heming Bank is not enough. At worst, I will sell the silted fields in the dike to the wealthy people in the mansion at a price. At present, I am worried that the Hedao Yamen will not accept it."

Huang Yue said in surprise: "No way, when Mr. Pan was preparing to build a Lu Dike in Guide when he was working on the river platform, he was only transferred to the office in the end. If we report to the river yamen to build a Lu Dike, there is no reason why the river yamen does not agree." 8)
