Thousands of miles of blue waves, thousands of miles of green.

The white clouds in the sky couldn't hide the deep blue. A group of big birds that spent the winter in the south spread their wings again, flew into the sky, passed through the layers of clouds, and headed towards their hometown in the north.

Under the clouds, a huge water conservancy project first started in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Central Plains and developed under the rule of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

Like a blue dragon, it snakes across the earth from south to north, and its countless thin branches are like the blood of a blue dragon bursting out of its body. It nourishes millions of hectares of farmland on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and maintains millions of fields.

In between, the vicissitudes of life are the survival of the people.

The Canglong connects the great rivers that originated in the prehistoric era. The land thousands of miles away has been closely connected since then, and it has grown from a prehistoric tribe into a towering tree of a nation.

The big rivers have clear water, and the big rivers have yellow dragons.

At present, in the holes on both sides of the flock of wild geese returning to the north, more than half of the blue dragons have been eroded by the yellow dragons. The lake called Hongze has expanded for hundreds of miles, spanning Huai'an Prefecture on the Zhili Road and Fengyang Prefecture in the Central Capital.

There are signs of an invasion of Shili Yangzhou.

A huge fleet is sailing from south to north.

There are three large river boats in front, with cannons on both sides to clear the way. The speed boats travel around the river to drive away merchants and small boats.

A total of ten huge cargo ships loaded with 5,000 tons were connected to the rear side, and on both sides were more fast ships with troops, waiting in groups to guard against lawlessness on both sides of the strait.

At the end of the fleet, there are three more artillery warships.

Behind the three warships at the front of the team was a Ming Dynasty treasure ship with nine masts and twelve sails. It sailed on the river as if walking on flat ground without any ripples. (The use of treasure ships on inland rivers has not been verified, and this is just for art.

effect)

Dressed in flying fish uniforms and with embroidered spring knives on their waists, the Jin Yiwei stood on both sides of the ship, their gazes intimidating both sides of the canal, guarding against Xiaoxiao's approach.

On the river bank, there are also a large number of rangers scattered for thirty miles, reporting information from both sides at any time.

This is the standard that has been in place since the fleet sailed from the Yangtze River into the Grand Canal and passed through the boundary of Yangzhou Prefecture.

The observation deck on the bow of the treasure ship.

A group of officials in brocade robes and generals in iron armor surrounded the young man in trousers.

"After Sanmenxia, ​​the waterway of the Yellow River suddenly opened up, and the terrain was flat, blending into the Henan Plain. It flows through Henan Prefecture, Huaiqing Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture, Guide Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture, Xuzhou Prefecture, Huai'an Prefecture, and between Hongze Lake and the Huaihe River.

Integrate together, take the Huaihe River outlet eastward and merge into the East China Sea."

"When the ground is flat, the water flow changes from rapid to slow, and the sand and gravel in Guanzhong flow away and dissolve in the river water, and the sediment never accumulates in the Weinan Plain of Guanzhong.

After passing Sanmenxia, ​​the water flow suddenly slowed down, and the sediment was not washed away by the rapid water. Day after day, the current river finally became higher than both banks. Kaifeng's history records that the city was buried several times.

The downstream is even more overwhelmed, with flood peaks and outbursts year after year. The outlet to the sea is flooded with salinity and alkali, and sea water is even showing signs of intrusion and erosion of the river bed. Huai'an Prefecture spends no less than 100,000 yuan each year on cleaning up the outlet."

"His Royal Highness is in Kaifeng this time to clean up the floods and solve the problem of the bursting of the river. All these things must be ignored. From top to bottom, everywhere in the thousands of miles requires the court to spend a lot of money and make great efforts to achieve peace for a hundred generations and tame the Yellow Dragon.

The people on both sides of the river are benefited."

On the observation deck at the bow of the treasure ship, Pan Deshan, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty of the Ministry of Industry, dressed in a white pheasant green robe of the fifth grade of the Ming Dynasty, bowed and clasped his fists, with a stern expression, a gentle tone, and a well-founded narrative.

….

In the center of everyone's sight, at the front of the observatory, Zhu Yunxi, dressed in a drag suit and facing the river breeze, sighed softly.

In front of us is Hongze Lake, which has expanded hundreds of miles after the two embankments in Lankao County were flooded by the Yellow River.

The river water flowing into Hongze from the Yellow River and the clear water flowing into Hongze from the Huaihe River in the west have been washed into a turbid state, and countless broken branches and debris are floating on the water.

Looking at the lake shore in the distance, there are wisps of blue smoke leaving home.

Even though he was dozens of miles away, Zhu Yunxi still seemed to be able to hear the cries buried under the green smoke.

He silently withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Pan Deshan, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry's Dushui Qingli Division, who was standing next to him with his fists lowered.

Among the five officials from the Ministry of Industry, Pan Deshan was the one who followed him out of Beijing this time.

Speaking of which, many years later, the Ming Dynasty will have a famous minister of river governance, a completely technical minister, with the same surname Pan.

Pan Jixun, the Taibao Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Censor of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the author of many famous works on river control, such as "A View of River Defense", "Guan Jian of the Two Rivers", "Chen Duan Dagong Lu", "Liu Yu Tang Collection" and so on.

I just don’t know if the Pan Deshan who is standing in front of me now, the fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water Purification, has any relationship with the famous river management minister Pan Jixun.

"Where was Dr. Pan born?"

Zhu Yunxi asked Pan Deshan's parentage in public for no reason.

The surrounding officials from various ministries and departments could not help but turn their eyes to Pan Deshan, who was standing in front of the grandson.

Has this guy caught the grandson’s eye?

Tian Mai, who was also accompanying him, quietly left the observation deck.

He needs someone to find out all about Pan Deshan's life history, so that when his grandson needs it, he can hand it over to his grandson for reading.

In front of the observation deck, Pan Deshan was a little nervous.

During this trip, Taisun asked the Ministry of Industry to send someone, but he did it himself and stood up in front of the minister to express his position.

Pan Deshan was puzzled by his grandson's question.

But he still said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I am from Wucheng County, Huzhou Prefecture. I was born in the Yichou Department of Hongwu in the 18th year of the Jin Dynasty."

A doctor in the Qingli Division of the Ministry of Industry, Du Shui, who achieved the fifth rank with the Jinshi?

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows slightly, already understanding in his heart that Pan Deshan was probably also a capable person.

People like Ren Hengtai, who became high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty in just ten years or so, all had Jinshi or even Sandingjia background as their backing.

The reason why Tong Jinshi was named was because the court needed more talents to serve as officials. In fact, they were naturally at a lower level than those born in Sandingjia and Jinshi.

Is it roughly equivalent to a postdoc, PhD and master's degree?

Zhu Yunxi shook his head, but it was obvious that Pan Deshanneng, who was born with the same Jinshi background, took the imperial examination in the 18th year of Hongwu. In less than ten years, he achieved the position of a fifth-rank doctor in the Qing Dynasty of the Ministry of Industry.

Some real skills.

And his origin in Huzhou Prefecture...

It seems that Pan Jixun is from Huzhou Prefecture.

As for which county in Huzhou it was, Zhu Yunxi really couldn't remember it.

….

Pan Deshan was getting more and more nervous at this moment. His grandson had not spoken for a while since he asked the question and replied.

Could it be that he was born in Huzhou Prefecture and his grandson didn’t like it?

But the next moment.

In full view of everyone, Zhu Yunxi put his hand on Pan Deshan's shoulder, took Pan Deshan in his arms and moved to the edge of the observatory. The two of them looked at the hundreds of miles of yellow waves in Hongze in front of them.

"Mr. Pan, if you were left alone to manage the rivers, Huaihe Rivers, and fortunes, what strategies could you offer to the court?"

Zhu Yunxi tried his best to keep his tone calm so as not to scare Pan Deshan who was being held in his arms.

But the other people behind them had their hearts beating faster and their eyes widened.

What a big pot! What a big official! What a red crane and Dahongpao!

If you can do it well, the princes will last for generations, but if you don’t do it well, the nine tribes will be wiped out.

Pan Deshan trembled all over, and turned around with a dull look to look at the emperor's grandson who was staring at him with a smile.

Not a lot of ideas.

Pan Deshan shrank his head and bent his waist almost ninety degrees.

"My lord! I have a good strategy to tame the river!"

Zhu Yunxi raised the corner of his mouth, smiled in his eyes, clasped his hands together, and looked at Pan Deshan: "Mr. Pan can speak freely."

Pan Deshan took a deep breath.

I graduated from Yichou High School in the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, entered the imperial court to observe government, waited for a post, and entered the workforce

I have been an official of the Ministry of Industry for nine years.

Now, I finally have the opportunity to show off my boxing and kicking skills!

Pan Deshan only felt that his heartbeat was about to rise to his throat.

And many of the accompanying officials on his side also held their breath.

Everyone believes that as long as Pan Deshan, a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, can answer the question well and in line with His Highness the Grand Sun’s wishes.

It's a matter of being promoted to the third level in an instant.

Pan Deshan quickly sorted out his experience and accumulation in Dushui Qingli Division in his mind.

Then my whole body started to shake, and my whole person seemed to have changed its appearance, and my eyes shone with light.

"Your Highness, in the Central Plains, the three emperors and the five emperors have been entangled with the river since ancient times. The river course has changed several times, arbitrarily affecting Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Zhili and other places, and millions of subjects have been implicated in it."

"I now say that the cause of the Yellow River flooding is the upper reaches of Sanmenxia, ​​passing through the Weinan Plain in Guanzhong, and even reaching the source Xingxiu Sea. The water coming out of the source is a trembling, clear ice spring with no sediment, so there is nothing to worry about. Underwater

The Tianshan Plateau and even Guanzhong were washed away on both sides. There were also heavy rains that washed away the mountains and forests, leaving insufficient soil to protect them.
