Wang Ju stared at the memorial, and he could still remember what was written on it, then took back his eyes and said, "If this happens, the officials will talk about water conservancy, and it is important. The officials are not thinking enough. Therefore, please ask Mr. Han to summon all the important officials in the capital from the Political Affairs Hall to discuss it together."

"Why can't you say it now?"

"What Xiaguan said is not only the Zheng Guo Canal, but also the Yellow River, Jiangnan and Jiangdong, Jinghu South Road, Guangdong and Guangxi."

"Wang Ju, what do you want to say?" Ouyang Xiu shouted.

"Duke Ouyang, what the lower officials said is very important, and state affairs are the most important. I hope the dukes will agree."

…………

"Zhigui, why do you agree with this kid?" Ouyang Xiu asked in confusion. He summoned all the important officials, and this little Wang Ju thought he was.

"Uncle Yong, do you remember Liutahe?"

Ouyang Xiu's face changed immediately.

When it comes to Liuta River, we have to talk about the Yellow River. This is the mother river of China, which has nurtured a great civilization. However, because the people have severely cultivated and reclamation, it has passed through many desert Gobi areas, which has caused many floods and disasters. This is not terrifying, but the terrifying thing is that every major diversion of the Yellow River.

If we look at the position of the Yangtze River now, it will not change too much. At most, it is like the Taiping Army, that is, Dangtu. Now the Yangtze River is located in the Taiping Army's military city. It may have pushed the Yangtze River to Hezhou by the earthquake belt, and the sea estuary is getting smaller and smaller, but overall it is still in that position.

But the Yellow River is not. It is said that the oldest Yellow River was passed down from Dayu's flood control. It starts from the intersection of Luoshui and the Yellow River toward the north, and flows along the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain to Tianjin and into the sea.

In 602 BC, the Yellow River was diverted for the first time, breaking from Huazhou, flowing eastward in the north of Guan County. Then it heads from Renping north to Cangzhou into the sea. It was an extremely huge disaster in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the third year of Yuanguang in Guangwu, the Yellow River broke its mouth in Puyang again. It went south and went from Sishui to the Huai River through Juyeze. It was not blocked until twenty-three years later.

In the third year of Wang Mang's founding of the Kingdom of China, the Yellow River broke its mouth in Daming Prefecture and flooded all the way to Qinghe County. At that time, because Wang Mang thought that the river flowed eastward, his ancestral tomb in Yuancheng would not be threatened, and he believed that the flood lasted for 60 years.

Then in the 12th year of Yongping of Donggong, Emperor Ming of Han sent Wang Jing to manage the water, and carried out a major transformation of the Puzhou river channel based on the terrain, and entered the sea from Dizhou. This lasted for a long time.

The Yellow River in the Sixteen Kingdoms and Northern Dynasties did not have much problem with the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, it began to come again, and many bursts were flooded and disasters were flooded. Including the year when Zhao Zhen fainted, the Yellow River broke the dike from Henglong Damian and flowed northward along Daming Prefecture. I don’t know how many families drifted away, and their families were destroyed. But it was just a disaster-level dam breaking, not an epic breaking dam, but an epic breaking dam, which was behind. In the eighth year of Qingli, Shanghu Damian in Chanzhou broke the dike, which was even more serious this time. The flood suddenly overflowed most of the Damian Prefecture. It converged with the Wei River and returned to Tianjin.

If the dam is broken, then it has to be treated, but how to deal with it, there was a conflict. Jia Changchao suggested restoring the old way and blocking Shang Hu Da again. Ding Du believed that when learning about Wang Jing, looking at the direction of the river, and then deciding to take action. This idea is also good. But how many Wang Jings have been there in ancient times and present? In ancient times, Wang Jing was ranked in the top ten. Was there such a capable man in the Song Dynasty? This controversy. In the third year, the Yellow River broke the dike at Guogukou. The court immediately sent people to join the dragon, but the silt and silt in the waterway after joining the dragon, and there is a possibility of breaking the dike again at any time.

This can't be delayed anymore, so Li Zhongchang wrote a letter and said that the Liuta River had come out, digging the Liuta River in Qingfeng County deep. It does not go out to the sea, but it can be used to divide water, and it can also restrain the Yellow River from entering the sea from the old path.

No matter how Ouyang Xiu thought about it, he looked through a lot of information, published a book, and said three things.

It is impossible for Jia Changchao to restore the old path, because there is too much mud and sand in the river, which means that the Yellow River will be bound or the river on the ground will burst the dam at any time.

Ding Du’s long-term plan is also good, but you have to make a plan. After so long, where is your plan?

Liuta River is even more idiotic. How can the small Liuta River divide the Yellow River? Now the Yellow River flows farther than the Yellow River in later generations. That is, it may generate a flow of thousands of cubic meters per second, and it may have one million cubic meters in one hour. So what about the end of one day and a month? So Liuta River cannot take on this task. Once the water is large, the river water will inevitably flow backwards, and the harm will be greater.

But no one listened to him, and then Zhao Zhen went crazy and said that Empress Cao wanted to harm him. Then the construction of the Liuta River began and was built. So let’s go to the Hu Dao. On the first day of April of the third year of Zhihe, Shanghu Dao merged with the Liuta River. The river water caused the rush into the Liuta River, and then flowed back from the Liuta River and hedged the Shanghu Dao with the mainstream of the Yellow River. The two hydrated together, and Shanghu Dao broke the door again. Unfortunately, there were thousands of civilians and soldiers on the dike and they had not yet come down, so they rushed into the water and drowned. That was not the water of Wang Ju in Qingxichuan. Although the water was fierce at the time, it was immediately stopped, and it stopped as soon as it was leaking! This was the water of the Yellow River, so how could it stop? Thousands of people were not alive.

At that time, the prime ministers were Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo, and they approved Liutahe. Such a big thing happened and spent so much money, so I had to hold them accountable. The two brothers refused to admit it. We can't blame us. We should blame the emperor. It was approved by the emperor. We are just executors. Furthermore, they also have a peerless martial art called Qiankun Dashi. Di Qing was sad. Everyone fell down together, so they forgot about Liutahe.

The Yellow River is also so depressed. Aren’t these little ants quite able to make trouble? Why don’t you make trouble? Don’t make trouble? I will try my own way to divert myself. One continues to flow northward to the sea, and the other follows the old path along the Yellow River, which is the old path in Shandong before Li Jing changed the river channel into the sea. In the fifth year of Jiayou, Han Zhi saw that this was not bad. It was your old man who chose it himself. So let’s do it, chisel the second river and fix the Yellow River from now on.

But is this problem solved?

No!

Therefore, Tian Wang Ju and Zhang Qi talked about the Yellow River by the way, and only said a few words: The Yellow River flows in both streams. The first stream of the old road was originally shallow and small, but now the Yellow River has more mud and sand than in ancient times. Therefore, after rapid sedimentation, this old road can be quickly blocked. Without this old road, there will still be something wrong with the Yellow River.

The second is the northern road, Hebei, especially Cangzhou, which is now a country of thousands of lakes, with many small lakes and ponds. Therefore, as long as the Song Dynasty defended the three passes and one line in central Hebei, it would be difficult for the Hu cavalry to go south.

However, when the river flows north and the water is huge, the river will surely rush to all low-lying places, including natural and all lakes, ponds and swamps that have been dug manually for military purposes, and then the river sand settles, and all these lakes and ponds disappear together.

What consequences will occur after disappearing? From the Great Wall Ridge to the east, there are hundreds of miles of defense line, and a flat river, the cavalry can raft and crisscross the horses at will.

That way, there is no way to guard against it.

Because it was related to military affairs, Zhang Feng recorded Wang Ju's words.

The Zheng Guo Canal was also recorded. Wang Ju talked casually and talked about the Zheng Guo Canal, saying that if the Zheng Guo Canal was rebuilt, it would be possible to obtain tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and even to fight for the irrigation of tens of thousands of hectares of arable land in other areas.

So Zhang Yu also wrote it in the memorial.

But this memorial mainly talks about the silting fields of the Yellow River and the establishment of flood discharge areas, and these two things are almost all mentioned.

Unexpectedly, Han Qi paid attention to these two things.

Xixia is ultimately a pain of psoriasis, and the country in the north is a behemoth.

After receiving the Zhang Ju report, he immediately sent someone to check the two Yellow Rivers. As Wang Ju expected, please believe that Wang Ju had never been to the two Yellow Rivers at one time. This means that Wang Ju is more familiar with the Yellow River, or water conservancy.

But the Yellow River is very troublesome, and it takes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to repair it. Besides, Wang Ju didn't say any solution.

This time Wang Jijie. But everyone knew that at this point, without financial support, he could not achieve the results of the battle. Han Qi thought of Zheng Guoqu again.

The cost of using troops in Shaanxi is higher than that in Hebei. The main reason is that the transportation costs are too high, and this transportation is mainly about food and grass.

It is precisely because of this food and supplies that I dare not transfer the three armies to the front line.

The victory of Dashun City is also a lucky thing. Shaanxi is not short of food now. If there is a drought and food shortage, I am afraid that Cai Ting and Wang Juhui will face a catastrophe.

So he thought of this Zheng Guoqu again. But who knows?

If you don’t look at this Zheng Guo Canal, it will involve all aspects of knowledge.

So Han Qi wanted Wang Ju to try it out first. Control the scale and save money, but it failed and there was no big problem. It was just to accumulate valuable experience.

Han Qi thought so, but Wang Juzhen agreed, that would be much more difficult.

Now that Ouyang Xiu raised his question, Han Qi opened the song, pointed to the description of the Yellow River above, and said, "Uncle Yong, as that boy expected."

This is not a joke, Ouyang Xiu immediately said seriously: "That's how he will have good opinions."

"I'm afraid not, but I'll probably provide a suggestion."

"Okay, let him indulge him once."

In fact, when Wang Ju talked at that time, he only mentioned the Zheng State Canal. At that time, the Zheng State Canal of Qin could irrigate forty thousand hectares, but that was Qin. Now the water and soil of the Song Dynasty have deteriorated severely and cannot be done at all. It is okay to do it, but it has to pile up mountains of gold and silver. Can you ask if there is this mountain of gold in the treasury that can be piled down?

But even if you get 10,000 hectares of fertile land, or a little less, 5,000 hectares, that would be good. These 5,000 hectares are not the land of the planting of Shiheng. It is possible to harvest every acre and one stone. If you throw away the seeds, you will only have a few bulls. But if these 5,000 hectares are successful, you may increase more than one million stones of grain a year. If you follow the transfer method promoted by Wang Ju in Huachi, it may be 1.5 million stones and 2 million stones. The entire Jingyuan, Huanqing, and Qinfeng soldiers have enough food, and there is no problem with the grain for brewing wine, and the cost of using troops will be reduced by more than half.

Han Qi thought well, but has he ever thought about what if the population continues to increase?

In fact, in the final analysis, it is better to find a way to kill Xixia. Even if you don’t fight, your military spending will save more than 15 million chunks a year. If you fight, you still don’t know how much it costs. Without this big burden, the Song Dynasty would be as relaxed as if it had been replaced with new armor.

Han Qi immediately gathered important ministers in the Political Affairs Hall.

Zhao Shu was seriously ill, and Han Qi was almost the one who decided on military and national affairs.

Sixty or seventy ministers didn't know what happened, so they came to the Political Affairs Hall together.

Sima Guang and Peng Siyong felt it was strange when they saw Wang Ju standing.

Zhang Fangping also saw Wang Ju and was thinking in his heart, why did this little guy come to the Political Affairs Hall? It’s not where you stay.

When Han Qi saw everyone coming, he said, "Wang Ju, what do you think? Tell me."

"Han Gong, this is..." Peng Siyong was unhappy. What is the occasion of the Political Affairs Hall? Even if he does not have major military affairs, he cannot come in casually. Besides, this little kid.

"Mr. Peng, let me tell you."

"Thank you for your trust in Han Gong. Xiaguan starts with Huachi County. Xiaguan has built many water dams in Huachi County. Of course, they are all very small, the largest is only two or three hundred acres, and the smallest is only dozens of acres. However, Huachi County has many mountains and few valleys, and the population is not dense, so these water dams are basically enough. However, Xiaguan wants to say that after building so many water dams, the county has not received a penny, and it has not caused any controversy."

It is also very troublesome to not look at building a reservoir. If it is not done well, it will cause water sources. If the reservoir is built, it will flood some fertile fields. If there is no dispute, it is very difficult. Wang Ju can do this. He can indeed show it in front of such a big boss. However, Wang Ju is not to show off, but to bring up the following topics.

"The reason for this is that, firstly, I am not blocking water. Instead, I dig water, and deliberately examining its depth. During the flood season, everyone only worrys about the amount of water, so there will be no dispute about diverting water into the water weir. During the dry season, the depth of the water diversion canal is insufficient and cannot attract water sources in various rivers and streams, so there will be no water source conflict. Secondly, the location of the water weir must be mainly saline-alkali land or gravel land, and the output of these land is limited. Even if it is flooded, the people will not feel sorry. Therefore, there is no such thing as no

There is controversy. However, it is difficult to achieve these two. Especially when choosing a site, not only low-yield saline-alkali land, but its height is also lower than the streams and rivers it attracts, so that the site can be selected. However, this terrain often forms small swamps or new river valleys, and both sides can be pasted and cultivated, but it is not optional. Therefore, it is often far away from the streams and rivers, and the undulating terrain in Huachi is used to select a site. However, in this way, the two are far apart and the measurement of the height is a big difficulty."

Only after talking about this did everyone understand.

Although these small water harems are really difficult.

"But they have an advantage. When the Xixia people arrived, I chose Qingxichuan as the flooded place. Qingxichuan said it was better to be a river than a river, so the enemy would not pay much attention. Therefore, it took me two or three days to diversion water from Daliuchuan. But I couldn't block the water from Qingxichuan together. Once Qingxichuan dry up, the Xixia people would doubt it. And we can't increase the water flow, so Song Ji, who is familiar with the local terrain, would also doubt it. So the height requirements of the embankment were very strict. In fact, it is an important water conservancy project I want to talk about, a dam in the water!"

"Dam in the water?" Zhao Jia twisted his beard, as if the term was very familiar.

Wang Ju asked the officials to bring a large map of the Song Dynasty. He was not polite, so he used a brush to draw from Tanzhou to the south, including Guangdong and Guangxi. He put down his pen and said, "This is the south, it is too far from the capital, and northerners are not used to it. In fact, the south has the shortcomings of the south and its advantages, such as the crops can ripen three times a year, such as the grass cotton seeds. Why are there too many malaria? Everyone spreads it too mysterious. The reason is that there are few people, many species, and then mosquitoes are on it.

The face crawled, contaminated with poison gas, a very small bacteria, smaller than a canfly. These mosquitoes ran to people to bite them, and then bit them on people, and began to reproduce in their bodies like blood-sucking insects, causing people to suffer from vicious abuse. Especially for the army, if they do not pay attention to hygiene and prevent mosquitoes, they sent troops to the south when the weather is hot. One person suffers from abuse, and other mosquitoes bite them again. Because the army is crowded together, they quickly bit others, and a plague has come."

Dozens of important officials even listened.

Although it has nothing to do with water conservancy, this is the first time I have heard of this statement.

But this is also very important. Look at Pan Mei’s troops to Lingnan. When is the time? In winter and early spring. Look at Guo Kui’s troops to Jiaozhi. When is the time? July, August and September. Half of the people were caught and had to withdraw.

So Wang Ju mentioned it by the way and said, "If there is more people and pay attention to mosquitoes, there will be no more malaria. Once such a large place is developed, although the journey is long, but my sea boats are developed, and the imperial court can still get benefits."

When talking about navigation, later generations often think of Zheng He's voyage to the West. In fact, the official presided over the Song Dynasty was no less than the early Ming Dynasty, and it was only a big scale. There was even a saying that during the Southern Song Dynasty, the customs (Marinade Department) was set up in Chameng and the Straits of Malacca.

It is impossible to have food, but some slightly expensive goods can still be transported to the capital.

But if the court wants to benefit, Guangdong and Guangxi must develop it, otherwise the people will not be able to survive, so how can they benefit?

"Of course, it is not the center of our dynasty, so it is unlikely that it will be built on a large scale and steep fields. However, there are two low-cost ways, one is the trolley. When Emperor Taizong was in the vassal residence, he used this trolley to draw water into the mansion because the land of the royal palace was high. There was also the trolley on the Lantern Festival. There was a fountain on the lantern mountain. The officials did not see the details. They probably used the trolley to draw water to the high place and then divert water to the trolley. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, they talked about strange and lustful skills. It is not. If they are used correctly, they will be correct. If they are used evil, they will be evil. Please see."

Wang Ju took out a drawing from his arms, and there was a trolley on it, which was placed in a turbulent stream. The trolley drew water to a high place, and a wooden trough for diversion of water was placed at a high place. From this trough, the water could be directed to various places, and even irrigated terraces.

The cost is not very high, even if the family is in a slightly better condition, one family can buy it.

Wang Ju continued: "However, it is not as applicable as below."
