Because of this, the river out of Guanzhong and even Sanmenxia has been overwhelmed, and the river water has turned yellow and turned into slurry. Thousands of miles downstream, the river bed has been too high, and the river banks have been raised again and again, and they collapsed when they encountered flood peaks."

"I observe that the sage Yu the Great did not follow the example of his father when he controlled the floods. He instead blocked the rivers and dredged them instead. Then the rivers were tamed and China flourished."

"In the Western Han Dynasty, Jia Gongrang made three strategies to regulate rivers, which lasted for generations to come, including the strategy of widening rivers and reducing floods."

"The King of the Eastern Han Dynasty built embankments for eight hundred years without any diversion. He built a thousand-mile embankment from the south of Puyang City to the Bohai Sea, regulated the channel of Bian Canal, built the water gate of Bian Canal, and stabilized the river for eight hundred years."

"In the former Yuan Dynasty, Jia Gonglu managed the river and dredged it up, restoring the old way. For his management, the people of Li praised the Jialu River."

….

On the treasure ship, Pan Deshan counted them one by one from ancient times to the present.

No one showed any impatience to find out the details of Pan Deshan's strategy to regulate the river.

Zhu Yunxi was also not bored.

This is the code of conduct and speech in official circles at this time and even forever.

We need to talk about history, we need to talk about the past, we need to have a historical summary, and then there will be analysis of the present and the final conclusion.

In the distance, the sound of drums could be heard from the leading warship.

This is the signal for the fleet to dock at the shore.

The sailors on the mast, who were like water monkeys, also grabbed the top of the mast with one hand and waved colorful flags with the other hand, signaling to the entire fleet to stop at the shore for rest.

While everyone was waiting quietly, Zhu Yunxi waved to the back of the crowd.

Yutian, the accompanying manager of Taisun's Mansion, immediately turned around and took the teapot and tea bowl from the attendant, trotted through the crowd and delivered it to the Emperor Taisun.

Zhu Yunxi moved his mouth and pointed at Pan Deshan in front of him.

"Let him drink."

Yutian didn't speak, nodded, filled the tea bowl with water, and brought it to Pan Deshan.

Pan Deshan looked at Yutian, the manager of Taisun's Mansion, who was smiling at him with some surprise, and took the tea bowl: "I thank you, Your Highness, I have a great companion for you."

Yutian let out a hey and watched Pan Deshan finish the tea in the tea bowl, then took the tea bowl back and trotted through the crowd to the outside.

Pan Deshan finished his tea, wiped his mouth, looked at the emperor's grandson, and waved his hand to Hongze Lake, which stretched hundreds of miles in front of the fleet, and the Yellow River visible to the naked eye upstream.

"I have read all over the ancient strategies for river management, and I think deeply about the great river in my country. I feel that the methods of the ancients cannot be repeated, and my country should have its own method of river management."

"My method of regulating the river is not like Gong Jia's method of allowing the wide river to flood. This method cannot solve the problem of too high river bed and siltation in the lower reaches of Sanmenxia."

"I don't want to learn from Wang Gongjing, Jia Gonglu. I want to implement the method of dredging by Dayu to improve today's benefits. I want to use rivers to regulate rivers. The river bed is raised year by year, the embankments are raised, and the sediment

Siltation accumulates year by year, and the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are suffering from disasters!"

Yes!

This is the flavor!

Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up, his brows trembled involuntarily, and he had already decided in his heart that Pan Deshan, a doctor from Dushui who accompanied the Ministry of Industry, was the one he wanted.

Use rivers to control rivers!

Isn’t that just Pan Jixun’s method?

It was also the method that was finally proven to be the most effective. Even after the Central Plains worked hard to govern and underwent earth-shaking changes, this method was still used and carried forward.

Standing on the bow of this treasure ship from the Hongwu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunxi thought of the dams upstream and downstream of the river many, many years later, which were spurned and criticized by countless people.

It is precisely because of these nationwide water conservancy projects that many people in those years will still remember that before the new era, the big river around them was filled with floods every year, bursting every year, and becoming swampy every year.

They don't understand anything, they only know how to criticize everything.

Little do they know that the dams one after another are just like the methods proposed by people in ancient and modern times: to control the river, use the river water to wash the river bed, and remove the silt and sand from the river bed. During dry periods, water is released to nourish the two banks, and during floods, it resists.

Be prepared for floods.

….

Zhu Yunxi's eyes already showed a look of emotion.

He knows how to regulate the river, but he cannot do it in every detail.

Anyone like him can put forward a theory, but it requires countless people to implement it under the leadership of a few capable people.

"Tell me! Tell me in detail your method of controlling rivers!"

Zhu Yunxi spoke out urgently. He needed to verify whether there was any difference between Pan Deshan's method of river control and the method he knew.

The eyes of the accompanying officials around him gradually became complicated, and they were either sighing or envious.

There is no other.

Pan Gongjiang will be promoted.

Pan Deshan swallowed his saliva, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "If Your Highness trusts me, I will spend more than ten years in the river, spending tens of millions of money in the court, and accumulating millions of ministers' labor.<

/p>

Select locations to build dams, confine water to flush out sand, overhaul river embankments on both sides, build main river embankments, dig siltation channels separately, and build outer river channels separately.

Then repair the Huai River to prevent the river water from rushing into the flood marshes. The flood marshes will drink the Huai water, and the flood marshes will merge with the Yellow River water. They will flush and supplement the canal water transportation and dredge the downstream outlets to the sea. The silt fields will also be thousands of hectares."

Pan Deshan summarized his knowledge in the Dushui Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Industry and his travels on rivers in the south of the Yangtze River in the past ten years. He has reviewed the ancient river management strategies and summed up the river management strategies by himself.

Sun Bing said it one by one in words that all the ministers and ministers present could understand.

Afterwards, Pan Deshan bowed slightly, bowed and saluted, and stood aside, waiting for Taisun's final decision.

Live or die, be famous forever, or be rated as an armchair soldier, it all happens in this dynasty.

Zhu Yunxi gently patted the handrail of the boat with his palm, looking at the surface of Hongze Lake, which is directly connected to the Huai River and the Yellow River, and thinking about Pan Deshan's river control strategy.

Among the surrounding officials, they were already whispering.

An official from the Ministry of Household Affairs came out, raised his eyebrows as he cupped his hands towards Pan Deshan: "Mr. Pan said that the imperial court spent tens of millions. How much of this tens of millions is expected by Mr. Pan?"
p>

Just as the people from the Ministry of Finance finished asking, someone from the Ministry of Works came out: "Mr. Pan, I would like to ask how many millions of ministers and workers Pan said were mobilized at the same time."

Is this the ten-year plan that Pan Langzhong mentioned?"

The people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs have just finished asking.

The officials accompanying this trip immediately stood up.

Coming from a civil service background, this official naturally possesses a dignity.

I saw him shaking his robe, cupping his hands towards Pan Deshan, and then clearing his throat and saying in a deep voice: "Mr. Pan, if you manage the river, it will involve the prefectures and counties thousands of miles away. What plan does Mr. Pan have to make the doctor?"

Is there any strategy to control the river that should be implemented on the river?"

Pan Deshan turned sideways, looked at the colleagues who were asking questions, and shook his shoulders.

Then, he waved his arms and bowed his hands towards several people.

"

It is said below that after more than ten years of hard work, these tens of millions of capital and millions of subjects have been used for the total of more than ten years of hard work."

"I have measured, built dams, repaired embankments, dredged, etc., and the annual cost of food and grass is three million. It is estimated that the total labor cost of dam building, embankment construction, and dredging is one million.

, this is a waste of work for three million subjects."

"River management is a matter of thousands of miles, and cannot be limited to one prefecture or county. If the river is regulated down below, the river management strategy should be applied up and down the river, and one prefecture or county must not make mistakes. River management is done at the moment, and the benefits are in

Thousands of years. Those who are tired of today will benefit the descendants of future generations."

As Pan Deshan opened his mouth to explain, everyone fell silent.

According to what Pan Deshan said, even if it takes a minimum of ten years to control the river, the court will have to spend no less than 30 million for this purpose and employ 3 million people to work.

"This is a national matter! It involves the country, and I have doubts."

"I second the proposal."

"I also second the proposal."

After a while, most people unified their attitude, bowed to Zhu Yunxi, and expressed their opinions as political participants in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Zhu Yunxi, who had been waiting for these accompanying officials to express their opinions, finally slowly turned around.

He glanced at everyone blankly.

Then he looked at Pan Deshan, his eyes seemed a bit joking.

Zhu Yunxi muttered in a low voice: "It seems that it costs a lot of money and involves a lot of things."

Pan Deshan's heart was shocked and his brows couldn't help but frown.

Is my plan going to be rejected?

But this river is the only way to cure it.

Zhu Yunxi snorted twice, looked at the officials in front of him who had objections, raised his brows slightly, and said softly: "But Ming Dynasty has the confidence!"
Chapter completed!
