Zhu Yunxi's voice was very calm, but everyone who heard it could hear the toughness and determination in it.
Zhu Yunxi also looked at everyone with calm eyes. Although these people were not officials of various ministries in the Ming Dynasty, they were already the backbone of the Ming Dynasty's official system.
How many people will take the position of ministers in various ministries of the Ming Dynasty in the future?
Principles and ideals need to be repeated over and over again before they can be instilled in everyone's head.
The construction of ideas is not something that happens overnight.
Zhu Yunxi never expected that all officials would have the same thoughts as him, or even expect them to be all clean, but at least let these people know what they were going to do, so that they could recognize the reality and honestly not do anything
Things are holding you back.
He looked at the accompanying officials standing in front of him and still spoke in a calm tone.
"As long as the Yellow River can be tamed from overflowing, the cost and labor will be doubled, and Ming Dynasty will have the confidence to carry on!"
"As Pan Qing said, river management is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but is something that is done in the moment and will be accomplished in the future. You may not be able to see it, and I may not be able to see it, but your descendants and my descendants will
All descendants of the Ming Dynasty will surely be able to see it."
Zhu Yunxi walked up to Pan Deshan, reached out and patted him heavily on the shoulder.
The tone gradually became serious.
"The river needs to be repaired! It must be repaired!"
"Without controlling the Yellow River, the Ming Dynasty will never escape the trap of the Central Plains Dynasty's intermittence!"
"This is a matter for one person, but it is also a matter for all your families."
The accompanying official from the Ministry of Revenue flickered his eyes, opened his mouth silently, and finally closed his mouth.
This is not the time for them to speak out their objections.
They are not senior officials of the imperial court and are not qualified to control political discourse.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at the accompanying officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs keenly, with the corners of his eyes rarely sinking, and said calmly: "I have tired the country for more than ten years, and made great contributions to the world, ensuring that it will be safe for a hundred years. If the court is short of money and food, I will lead the Ming Dynasty's troops and horses outside.
Come back after grabbing the money and food!"
The accompanying officials from the Ministry of Revenue lowered their heads silently and bent their waists.
No one can find anything to object to the Emperor’s grandson’s words.
In recent years, the emperor's grandson has been doing what he said.
In the past two years, at least 30% of the annual income of the Ministry of Household Affairs has been brought back from outside.
No matter whether it's the Japanese army, Jiaozhi Road or Zhancheng Road.
They are all providing a steady stream of money and food for the Ming Dynasty.
This is a fact and an example of what happened first.
This is irrefutable evidence!
Suddenly, the accompanying officials on the observation deck at the bow of the treasure ship found strangely that their advice to the royal family seemed to be getting less and less.
It’s not that I can’t, it’s that there is nothing to advise.
Most of the problems in the court can ultimately be attributed to financial and taxation issues, and now this issue seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
So much so that now, when the Ming Dynasty says it wants to handle matters involving the expenditure of tens of millions of dollars, it can speak with confidence.
Is this still the Ming Dynasty a few years ago?
The same rhetorical question quietly emerged in everyone's mind...
Pan Deshan's current mood can be described as ups and downs and complicated.
Just when he thought he was about to be entrusted with an important task, the conversation suddenly changed. However, in the blink of an eye, the emperor seemed to have made up his mind to control the river.
But will your method of river control be adopted?
Pan Deshan has no confidence in his heart.
This is not something that Taisun can confirm just by patting himself on the shoulder.
Zhu Yunxi cast a sideways glance at Pan Deshan, who had a complex expression, then smiled slightly and said loudly: "If the Ming Dynasty lasts forever, then my family will last forever. This is both selfish and public.
Everyone, please abide by your responsibilities.
Be less greedy, don’t be a sycophant, and think about the people of Ming Dynasty.
Then the people will be in peace for eternity, your families will continue to grow, and my family will survive."
This has been said to the end and no further explanation is needed.
Zhu Yunxi believed that these people could understand, and the accompanying officials standing in front of him at this moment indeed understood.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered and he said quietly: "Everyone, please take this seriously."
While the officials were still in a daze, Zhu Yunxi had already patted the confused Pan Deshan again.
"I'm tired of Pan Qing today, so let's have a meal with Gu."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi had already turned around the crowd and headed towards the top cabin of the treasure ship.
Pan Deshan's eyes flashed for a moment, and he looked up at the background of the emperor's grandson who had already walked to the stairs on the upper deck.
He knew that his strategy to regulate the river had probably been approved by the emperor's grandson at this time!
During the meal, the emperor's grandson must be given face-to-face instructions and decide on the final strategy to control the river.
Pan Deshan immediately followed suit, trying to pass through the crowd and catch up with the emperor's grandson who had already reached the uppermost cabin.
On the observation deck, the accompanying officials looked at Pan Deshan with complicated expressions.
At this moment, everyone present, regardless of their official rank, silently bowed their hands to Pan Deshan.
Very complex collective behavior.
It’s not just a silent congratulations to Pan Deshan for his eye-catching appearance.
The entire fleet docked next to Sanyi Town in the north of Qinghe County, Huai'an Prefecture.
According to the terrain half a month ago, Qinghe County and Huai'an Fucheng in the south can be regarded as attacking the reaches of the Yellow River and the Huaihe River from the north to the south.
Nowadays, due to flooding in the upper reaches, Hongze Lake has expanded hundreds of miles, and the lake has spread all the way to Sanyi Town.
The fleet docked, firstly to replenish water sources, secondly to stop and make food, and finally to receive news about the disaster from the north and south and any express reports that the imperial court might send.
The top floor of the treasure ship, the cabin with the best view.
Zhu Yunxi had already sat down cross-legged, looking at Pan Deshan who followed him and stood up to bow.
He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Sit down. In fact, Gu is someone who doesn't follow the rules many times. As long as things can be done well."
Pan Deshan nodded, but still maintained the etiquette step by step. When he arrived in front of the eucalyptus, he sat cross-legged in a conservative posture, with his feet hidden under his robe, for fear of losing his courtesy.
Yu Tian brought tea to Pan Deshan at the side, and smiled and whispered: "Mr. Pan, wait a moment, the people below have already gone to get today's lunch."
Pan Deshan nodded, turned sideways and cupped his hands towards Yutian, the chief steward of Taisun Mansion...
Zhu Yunxi took a sip of tea and looked out the window at Baili Hongze Lake.
"How does Pan Langzhong think the situation in Hongze can be solved? After all, the search for Huaihe River from Hongze involves the tombs of my family's ancestors."
Pan Deshan nodded, his brows a little solemn.
The ancestral tombs of the Ming Dynasty were an issue that had to be considered. He had keenly discovered this issue a long time ago when sorting out the relationship between the Yellow River and the Huaihe River.
"Your Highness, the water of the Yellow River is turbid, the water of the Huaihe River is clear, and the water of the flood is shallow. When there is a flood, the water of the Yellow River breaks into the flood, and there will be a situation that overwhelms the Huai River. That is why the flood now expands hundreds of miles, forcing the river to flood.
People walking along the lake endanger the ancestral mausoleum.
And once the Yellow River overflows, the sediment from the upper reaches will flow all the way down, which will definitely block water transportation, and the canal river bed will be silted up with river sand, making it difficult for the court, merchants, and ordinary people to travel. This time His Highness took a boat to go north, and it would be difficult to travel as far as the entrance gate of the town outside Xuzhou City.
On the first day of the new year, you can only walk.
I believe that if we want to sort out the Yellow River and the Huaihe River, we must distinguish the primary and secondary rivers. We divide the Huanghuai River into two rivers, build a dam outside Qinghe County, block the Yellow River from the flood, use the Huai River to fill the flood, and collect the water to flush out the flood.
Yellow, washes away the river sand and merges into the East China Sea."
After Pan Deshan said something, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the emperor's grandson who was deep in thought.
He quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
I have said too much today.
A cup of tea was quickly drank by Pan Deshan
Zili.
Later, Pan Deshancai spoke again: "In fact, to control the Yellow and Huaihe rivers, several dams and gates are needed. Dams and levees need to be built on the surrounding rivers and river banks to restrain the Yellow River, guide the Huaihe River, and use the Huaihe River to flush the Yellow River.
Replenishing water and transporting water."
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "This is only a matter between the Yellow and Huai rivers. Let's talk about the upper reaches of the Yellow River. If I were to use your strategy to control the river, what would you do?"
Pan Deshan's expression paused and he said solemnly: "Damming rivers is the top priority!"
"I studied the river management books of the past dynasties and compiled the records of the Yellow River's water flow in our dynasty. I left Beijing three times and went to both sides of the Yellow River. I know that there are five or six silts in a bucket of water in the Yellow River. If it is autumn, there will be only half of the water in the Yellow River.
Dou Er.
The Yellow River goes down from Sanmenxia to Mengjin County (near Xiaolangdi). After that, the terrain is flat. The Yellow River is no longer restricted by mountains and rivers, and the water flow slows down. The sediment in the river will naturally accumulate over time, and the river bed will continue to rise.
Damming the river channel restricts the water of the Yellow River, and artificially increases the speed of the Yellow River water flow, which in turn washes away the river bed and deposits sediment, so that the river channel no longer rises.
Build large embankments on both sides of the river, and build string embankments, moon embankments, grid embankments, and remote embankments according to local conditions.
The embankment is built next to the river and complements the dam. It restricts the water of the Yellow River and washes away the river bed and deposits sediment.
After the strand embankment, build the moon embankment where it is easy to break, and protect the strand embankment in front. After the strand embankment, build check embankments on both sides of the moon embankment. If another flood breaks out, the disaster will be limited to the gap between the check embankments and cannot be affected by crises. p>
After the Lu dike, the Moon dike, and the Ge dike, there is the Yao dike. Divided by land, it is twenty or thirty miles away as far as the Lu dike. This dike is the highest and thickest. If there is a hundred-year flood, early warning is given, and subjects like Yao dike can evacuate.
Beyond the embankment.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved by changing the source. Download huanyuan.change the source here and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.]….
For example, in the case of remote embankments, the river basin is tens of miles across both sides, and the first three embankments are slow. It is a century-old flood. The water must be weak before the distant embankments, making it difficult to breach the embankments.
When the river water recedes and the people move back, although there will be a loss of money, the court only needs a little money and food relief to restore the people. Then, repair the broken embankments, moon embankments, and check embankments."
At this point, Pan Deshan has almost exhausted all his accumulation.
This time he swallowed three cups of tea before he felt his mouth was no longer so dry.
Afterwards, he waited anxiously for the emperor's grandson's decision.
The four dams were finally initially formed after Pan Deshan summarized the work of his predecessors and deduced the current situation of the Yellow River countless times.
In fact, from a selfish point of view, Pan Deshan doesn't know whether his method is effective.
He has even written these methods in family letters as the foundation of family heirlooms.
If you cannot practice it yourself, let future generations practice it.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the cabin.
Pan Deshan couldn't help but look back.
It was someone who brought today’s lunch from the shore.
Later, Pan Deshan saw the manager of Taisun's Mansion stopping the people who were bringing lunch and opening the food boxes one by one.
Yu Tian raised his eyebrows and asked the people who brought them: "Have they all been used?"
"When I went back to the prison, I tried everything and waited for a quarter of an hour."
Yutian nodded, then took out a long wooden box from his sleeve, took out a silver needle, and inserted it into today's meals one by one.
Then, he took out another taiko, thinking that he was quick, took a little of each dish, put it into the spoon, and put it into his belly.
After all these things were done, Yutian stopped and waited for a while.
Finally, he waved his hand: "Have a meal, light the stove to heat it up."
At this time, the person who delivered the meal delivered various meals to the emperor's grandson, and brought some stoves from the side to warm the meals again.
Taisun seems to be very careful.
Pan Deshan had some weighing in his mind.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Pan Deshan and smiled slightly: "Originally I didn't want to do this, but the dog slave Yu Tian said that now the Yellow River floods, the six prefectures are in disaster, no one knows.
He knows what will happen down there, so it’s best to be careful. I can’t defeat him alone, so I can only eat scraps every day..."
Pan Deshan laughed along with him, saying this was a joke.
He whispered: "It's better to be careful in everything. Your grandson is a rich man and the successor of the clan and the country. It's best to be careful in everything."
Zhu Yunxi hummed self-deprecatingly, quickly picked up the bowl, and pointed at the dishes on the table: "Eat, let's talk while eating."
Pan Deshan was also quick to pick up the bowl, but when his grandson put the food into his mouth, he would pick up the dish and bring it to his mouth.
The two of them ate half a bowl of rice in silence.
Zhu Yunxi coughed lightly.
Pan Deshan immediately put down the bowl.
Looking at the appearance of the doctor from the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but shook his head.
Don’t mention the rules again.
Zhu Yunxi said: "Your method, I just thought about it, is probably feasible. Although the cost is as you said, it will require the court to spend tens of millions within ten years and millions of subjects to work, but this is the cost of the whole country.
This is how things should be.”….
Pan Deshan could only nod his head.
Zhu Yunxi said again: "If we want to control the river, we have to deal with the floods in the six prefectures this time and clarify the three things of the subjects. We must start to do it. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. If it is delayed for a while, it can be delayed for a lifetime.
,When will the water of the Yellow River under our Ming Dynasty be clear?"
Pan Deshan still nodded.
Zhu Yunxi continued: "If you want to control the river and consider the court alone, you can take charge of this matter. The Yellow River involves Henan, Shandong, and Zhili three prefectures and counties. There must be someone who holds the king's order and the emperor's sword.
..."
Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment and looked up at Pan Deshan.
Pan Deshan is still nodding.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "If you are in charge of managing the river, I would like to swear here today that you will control the river in this life. If the Yellow River is not peaceful for a day, you will never leave the river.
Gu Ke will let you wear the red robe of the crane, carry the emperor's sword, be the governor of Huanghuai water affairs, and also be the censor of the capital procuratorate. The prefectures and counties along the three roads are all under you, the three governors, the governor, the governor, and the governor.
The constitution is all controlled by you."
Pan Deshan was shocked.
The feudal official!
The real frontier official!
As long as I take an oath to express my position now, I, Pan Deshan, can become the first frontier official with a high position in the 28 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
As long as the Yellow River flows safely, you will be remembered in history, and your merits will be included in palaces and temples.
There is no need to weigh the pros and cons.
Pan Deshan stood up directly, waving his robes with great energy and making a sound, standing in front of the emperor's grandson, raising his arms high, kneeling heavily on the ground, making a posture of prostrating himself to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Pan Deshan, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry's Dushui Qingli Division!"
"Today, in front of the great grandson of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, under a sky full of gods and Buddhas, I would like to make a great wish. One day the Yellow River will not be stable, and one day I will not return home!"
Yutian, the manager of Taisun's Mansion, stood aside, looking at Pan Deshan kneeling in front of His Highness Taisun with a twitching brow, and a smile on his lips.
Take a look.
His Highness is so majestic and majestic, and even with his words, he will devote his whole life to the Yellow River, the imperial court, and the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunxi doesn't feel that he has any power.
If there is one, it is at most just the bonus brought by one's own surname.
Everyone in this world has desires.
Now, I have given Pan De good deeds and fame, and given him the honor of being a frontier official. There is no reason why he would disagree with it when he already has this ambition to control the river.
Just...
Zhu Yunxi suddenly said quietly: "It's just... Gu gave you everything, if there is another trouble in the Yellow River."
"I committed suicide on the Yellow River to apologize! I threw myself into the water of the Yellow River to calm the wrath of the river!"
This is not the time to say nice things to appease people.
Zhu Yunxi made a direct and explicit hint: "If you disobey, the government and the opposition will be pacified without one person committing suicide."
Pande
Shan raised his head and nodded heavily: "I know."
After arriving here, Zhu Yunxi smiled again on his face.
He stood up directly, walked to Pan Deshan, stretched out his hand to help Pan Deshan up, then returned to his position, picked up the bowl again and quickly said: "When you are full, no matter what you do, you must fill your stomach first."
Pan Deshan, who had put all his family's lives on the river water supply, seemed to finally remember what Zhu Yunxi had just said at the beginning, that there was no need to behave in front of him.
Started to take big mouthfuls of food.
Zhu Yunxi slowly finished the remaining half bowl of food, rinsed his mouth with tea and said softly: "Your appointment needs to be postponed. This time, the flood situation in the six prefectures must be dealt with first. During this period, how much do you want to do?"
Walk up and down the river, and leave the two executions to you to repair, as a trial. By the way..."
Pan Deshan showed doubts: "Do you have anything else to tell me?"
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and shook his head: "It's not a big deal, but if you want to get the job of river management, you need to convince the government and the public. You can only persuade your majesty and the prince to entrust you with the important task, but if the government and the government are dissatisfied,
, it will be extremely difficult for you to manage the river in the future. After all, it is impossible for me to help you keep an eye on these things."
Pan Deshan quickly finished the food in the bowl, then pulled his sleeves and wiped his mouth without any discipline.
He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Zhu Yunxi said softly: "When we arrive at Kaifeng Mansion, you should demonstrate your river control method in front of the accompanying officials. Build a small river and let them see the effect. When you turn around, you should also show Ying Tian that
All the ministries and departments nearby can see the results with their own eyes. As for how to do it, you should know."
Pan Deshan frowned and thought about it carefully.
It is not difficult to make a small river to demonstrate.
The imperial court has a map of the Yellow River, so I can completely reproduce it myself.
The river water can also be taken directly from the Yellow River, silt, banks, etc., and everything can be done well.
I just want my colleagues in the DPRK and China to see it clearly.
Think about it.
Pan Deshan bowed and said: "I will live up to His Highness's high expectations!".
