Chapter 597 River Management (3)

"Reporting to Governor Xian, the Gaojiayan embankment has been rebuilt and is three feet higher than before. Please check it out," Zhang Ji, who manages the river, said respectfully to Huang Shoucai, the governor of the river.

After being deeply moved by Emperor Guangwu, Huang Shoucai risked his life. "Wherever the chariot goes, it is thousands of miles away."

", supervising the work day and night. We rebuilt Gaojiayan, Quy Nhon Ji Dike, Liupu Bay Dike, Setui Zhen Dike and other dykes. We also built various types of dams, remote dykes, checkered dykes, and moon dykes, and countless sections were connected.

Leng raised the embankments on both sides of the Huaihe River by several feet.

Among the various dykes, the Gaojiayan dyke built before by Pan Jixun was the most important one. Huang Shoucai firmly implemented Pan Jixun's theory and stored all the water in the Huaihe River in Hongze Lake, raising the water level so that all the water in the Huaihe River could be discharged.

At the mouth, the enemy is strong enough to prevent the Yellow River from flowing back into the lake.

"Bring the shovel!" Huang Shoucai suddenly shouted.

Bringing shovels from left and right, Huang Shoucai rolled up the sleeves of his official robe and started shoveling hard, shovel after shovel, and all he shoveled out was real soil, not floating sand.

A smile appeared on his face, "Yes, they are all genuine soil, you have taken the trouble! You can't be afraid of spending money on things like river management, you have to follow this standard!"

"I thank you so much, Governor Xian, for your compliment." Zhang Ji's expression became more and more respectful.

"It's good, I never praise it unreasonably." Huang Shoucai praised again and said slowly: "Although Gaojia Yan has been reinforced and raised, Huang Qianghuai has been weak for a long time. The light of 'beaming water to attack sand' may not be able to see the whole situation."

To be effective, we have to control the source of sediment in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. I have ordered thousands of miles of protective forests to be planted along the Yellow River in Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan to consolidate the soil and prevent sand. You will patrol the provinces on my behalf to see if there are any

No cutting corners."

Zhang Ji was overjoyed, this meant that he had fallen under the superior's eye, and said hurriedly: "Yes! I obey my order."

Huang Shoucai smoothed his beard with satisfaction and said, "Young people must work hard. The Holy Spirit cherishes talents the most. If you can achieve results, your future will be bright!"

??

In June and July, the plums in the Jiangnan area are ripe and it rains more.

Meng Qianli, the magistrate of Sizhou, was panic-stricken. Since Huang Shoucai, the governor of Hecao River, rebuilt Gaojiayan, the high and thick embankment raised the water level of the Huaihe River, preventing the Yellow River from taking over the Huaihe River, but also caused the water level of Hongze Lake to rise sharply, causing the lake to flood several times.

Surrounding the Tomb of the Ming Dynasty.

Incredible, this is a head-turning thing!

The ancestral mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty is located on the west bank of Hongze Lake where the Huaihe River enters the lake. It is under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Prefecture in Nanzhili. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world and established the Ming Dynasty. He established his ancestral mausoleum here in the 19th year of Hongwu (1386 AD).

His grandfather Zhu Chuyi was named Emperor Yu, his great-grandfather Zhu Sijiu was named Emperor Heng, and his great ancestor Zhu Bailiu was named Emperor Xuan. The following year, the Xiang Hall was built in front of the mausoleum. In the eleventh year of Yongle, Zhu Di built another lattice.

Stargate and wall.

This ancestral mausoleum is magnificently built, with palaces, golden gates, jade bridges, kitchens, well pavilions, slaughterhouses, worship rooms, dormitories, pavilions, stele pavilions, ritual attendants, etc., etc. It also has thousands of cypress trees and stone statues planted.

Nineteen pairs, grand in scale and extraordinary in momentum.

"Sir, during the plum rain season, the water level of Hongze Lake rises. Huang Gong builds a large embankment, and the Huaihe River rises sharply. If this continues, it will not take long for the ancestral mausoleum to be flooded. As the magistrate of the state, you also have the responsibility of guarding the mausoleum.

Make plans early," he persuaded Meng Qianli.

"Alas! What can I do? The Holy Emperor has clearly issued a report to support Huang Gong in consolidating the water to attack the sand. I can only go to Shu to plead guilty. This official is responsible for the failure of fighting the flood and disturbing the ancestral mausoleum. I can only bear the blame.

Alas! How many heads are not enough to chop off!"

In July of the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, the Hongze Lake rose and flooded the ancestral mausoleum of the old Zhu family. From the prefect of Fengyang to the prefect of Sizhou, officials continued to plead guilty. Zhu Hengjia kept his word, and I am responsible for the blame.

Not a single official’s head was chopped off.

Meng Qianli was so moved that he called out: My emperor is a saint.

??

When He Wuzou became an official, Sun Jinding and Gu Yi were transferred to Nuerqian. Now there are only three cabinet elders left in the Nanjing cabinet: Guan Shouzhen, Zheng Feng and Gu Yi. Guan Shouzhen and Gu Yi are so good that they can wear a pair of trousers, and Zhu Hengjia

He is a little worried. It is not that he doubts the loyalty of Guan and Gu. On the contrary, these two people are both Conglong heroes, so there is no problem with their loyalty. It's just that the emperor is a widower and a solitary man. It is the emperor's nature to doubt all powerful officials.

.

The more powerful the leader, the stronger the suspicion.

Zhu Hengjia felt that Guan Shouzhen had too much power and had to check and balance him.

As a result, the cabinet ministers were promoted, and Su Guansheng was promoted from a bachelor of Wuyingdian to a bachelor of Wenhuadian alongside Guan Shouzhen; Zheng Feng and Wen Anzhi were promoted from a bachelor of Wenyuange to a bachelor of Wuyingdian.

Elevating the status of other cabinet ministers can indeed check and balance Guan Shouzhen, but now there are only three bachelors staying in Nanjing. Guan and Gu are very close, and Zhu Hengjia cannot sleep well, so he feels it is necessary to bring back another cabinet minister.

Originally, the best candidate to check and balance Guan Shouzhen was Sun Jinding, but Mr. Sun has been sent to Nu'er. Jun Wu joked that it was not the emperor's style to change orders every day.

He thought about it. The remaining three foreign bachelors, Wen Anzhi, were older and in poor health; He Tengjiao used to like to play with power, and he had a bad impression of him. Although he had changed over the years, he still had a bad impression.

I'm a little worried; Su Guansheng is dull and too straight-tempered, and I don't like him very much.

After thinking about it for a while, I really lacked someone who could satisfy me and also check and balance Guan Shouzhen. In the end, I simply appointed Yu Chaoxiang as the Grand Scholar of Dongge to join the cabinet. Yu Chaoxiang was a meritorious minister from Conglong, with sufficient qualifications, and he was related to Sun Jinding.

Closeness is simply a good flag used by the emperor to check and balance.

Liu Bi's murder of Jiexiu Fan made Zhu Hengjia deeply aware of the corruption of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. He needed a sword, a sharp sword to fight corruption and promote integrity.

After thinking about it, he suddenly let out a long sigh and said to himself: "Although Mr. Su has a weird temper, he actually has a good sword!"

Su Guansheng is known as the "Three Don'ts Master" who "doesn't want an official position, doesn't want money, and doesn't want his life." His official reputation is excellent. Although he has a bad temper and doesn't like me, he still has advantages. For example, he hates evil as much as he hates it, and he is not merciless in punishing corrupt officials.

; Another example is that one is as poor as water and has rough clothes and food but does not feel the hardship; the most rare thing is that he has never joined a gang. He is neither a party member nor a party member, but a third party who is only loyal to me.

Well, this person can be used, but he must use it extensively.

After thinking about it, he ordered Su Guansheng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, to return to Nanjing. As a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, he took charge of the Ministry of Personnel and vigorously launched an anti-corruption campaign.

Su Guansheng did not refuse. As soon as he returned to Nanjing, he immediately rectified the official atmosphere and dismissed 137 redundant and mediocre officials. The official atmosphere took on a new look, and because of this, he got a good reputation as "official slaughter".

In order to cultivate the third force and sell Su Guansheng a favor, Zhu Gaojia issued an order to promote Lu Liuliang, whom Su Guantai had always admired, to the governor of Northern Zhili.
