After the winter solstice, it is the beginning of the cold winter. The whole of Luoyang is covered with silver and a white world.

The embarrassment is that the Luoshui River and the Yellow River are frozen.

As a result, a large amount of goods had to be transported by land. Of course, fortunately, all the autumn taxes had arrived in the warehouse by the end of October, otherwise the losses in them would be difficult to measure.

However, there are gains and losses.

After the Luo River is frozen, there will naturally be stocks of grain, autumn taxes and summer taxes, and some foods of tens of millions of stones. However, Luoyang has a population of hundreds of thousands of people, which seems to be a huge black hole. It has to be spewed in a large amount of materials every day to ensure its operation.

Some luxury goods, as well as other fabrics, salt, tea, porcelain, and other daily necessities, are very expensive. For profit, merchants are not allowed to hire a large number of civilians to transport or pull ships, which in turn promotes a large number of jobs.

People in the slack season were extremely satisfied with this kind of job that made extra money. Of course, the price was naturally paid by Luoyang people.

"So, good things are not necessarily bad, bad things are not necessarily good!"

The emperor stood on the city wall, looking at the working people by the Luoshui River, and couldn't help but say.

At this time, the one standing beside him was the Governor of the Five Army Governor's Office, the Governor of the Grain Transportation Supervisor, Zhang Weiqing. In the past two years, he has become much older because it is the Yellow River.

The governance of the entire Yellow River is actually within his responsibility.

Now in winter, he can also take a break.

"What Your Majesty said is that misfortune is the basis of good fortune, blessing is the basis of misfortune, and yin and yang are transformed, and there is its own mystery!"

Zhang Weiqing has read a few books in recent years and couldn't help but sigh: "For several years, I have been running back and forth, and then I found that the Yellow River has lost its constraints after passing Shanzhou, and it is full of mud and sand, which is more than one year and is quite difficult to manage."

"Oh? What are your actions right now?"

Li Jia asked.

"Sand boats excavate sand, but not the root cause!"

Zhang Weiqing said seriously: "The only thing we can do now is to strengthen the Qianli River embankment and prevent it from collapsed thousands of miles."

Li Jia moved her mouth and wanted to talk about the benefits of planting trees and afforestation, and control them from the upstream. But Fu Yanqing from Shaanxi Prefecture was already doing it. Planting trees and afforestation in the middle and lower reaches was not very useful. Strengthening the river bank is just the only way.

"Hey, in addition, the rich water tanks near the river bank must be removed to prevent the water flow from being thin."

The emperor sighed and said.

"Yes!" Zhang Weiqing responded.

The so-called water grinding is actually a water grinding. The ancients had long realized the benefits of water grinding. It was extremely convenient to crush rice and unshelled. It was just for self-use, but it could also be used commercially and charged a large amount of fees.

In the Former Tang Dynasty, the noble families and princes at that time all had a lot of water mills, so that the princess no longer wanted land, but more wanted water mills, which were comparable to the money printing machine in later generations, and could ensure income from drought and flood.

Therefore, a large amount of water mill cut off the tributaries in the Guanzhong area, thus competing for water with the people, resulting in a large number of lawsuits.

It is precisely because of this that a large amount of soil erosion was caused and the destruction in Guanzhong was a contribution.

Later, wars were frequent, and the water melt naturally disappeared. Coupled with the loss of population, the desolation of the land, the bad land in Guanzhong was restored.

The Yellow River is originally water-deficient, with so much mud and sand. If the tributaries are intercepted again, it will become a precious sand river. At that time, Shandong will have a large-scale water shortage.

Later generations were in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shandong was barren and fled many famines, which was because of lack of water and little food.

Of course, this is a job to offend people, and Zhang Weiqing is not afraid.

"What's wrong with Shandong Prefecture?"

The emperor asked.

"You must have been to Shandong when you manage the Yellow River. How about it? Have you ever recovered from the war?"

"In the past two or three years, under the rule of Xiao Yan and the prefecture of Xiao Tai, the people have been happy and will not pick up the remains."

Speaking of this, Zhang Weiqing couldn't help but sigh: "Now Shandong Prefecture has many fields, and almost every household has land, and it also has the benefits of fishing and salt. The people are rich and luxurious, and they are no longer below the south of the Yangtze River."

"That's good!"

Li Jia smiled and said, "There were hundreds of thousands of riots there, which was a turbulent upside down, and even the Confucius Mansion was not at peace. Now that it has settled down, it can actually contribute a lot of financial resources."

"The court cannot always rely on Jiangnan, right?"

"After all, this is the court of the whole world, not the court of the south."

It is another cliché issue of the north and the south.

The balance between the north and the south is what the emperor expected, even if he was from the south.

So over the years, whether it is the governance of Shaanxi or the three-year tax exemption of Shanxi, and Shandong's tax exemption of tax exemption have been to balance and rebalance.

The governance of the Yellow River is the basis for the resurgence of the northern economy.

After all, in an agricultural society, agriculture is the foundation, and for good agriculture, water is crucial.

In addition, Li Jia has been working hard on rice cultivation.

For example, southern Chameng rice is constantly being promoted, and grain output is getting higher and higher year by year. Naturally, commerce and handicrafts are also constantly developing.

In the north, corn has always been grown. It is undeniable that this is a grain, and its taste is indeed better than rice and wheat, but its disadvantages are also very obvious, it is more delicate and has a relatively low yield.

Therefore, Li Jia planned to make wheat popular in the north hundreds of years in advance.

Wheat has great advantages, is cold-resistant, drought-resistant, and has relatively large yields. It was also a mainstream crop until later generations.
