After the gathering banquet, the Jinshi formed a group to have sex with prostitutes, have a cup of wine and other classic events. Although Luo Youdu was envious of it, he was too embarrassed to participate.

After all, these activities were funded voluntarily by brothels and brothels, and the imperial court did not give out a single copper.

In terms of propaganda, China is also the ancestor of the West.

"His Majesty……"

Compared with the glory of the Jinshi, the special operations team for river control looks a little embarrassed.

The action team was headed by Prime Minister Wei Renpu, assisted by the Ministry of Water, a branch of the Ministry of Industry, and officials like Jia Jue who had experience in river management in cities and counties on both sides of the Yellow River.

Wei Renpu was an all-rounder with extremely high attainments in military and government affairs. Starting from Kaifeng, Wei Renpu personally proposed and supervised the construction of hundreds of miles of rivers in the surrounding area.

Kaifeng now has smooth water conservancy and transportation, and irrigation of surrounding fields is not affected, all thanks to Wei Renpu's overall planning.

Wei Renpu was originally in a state of semi-retirement, but now the crisis came.

The first thing Luo Youdu thought of was Wei Renpu.

Wei Renpu did not hesitate at all. He was ordered to face the danger. He led 23 officials to eat and sleep in the open air, soaking in the rain and wind, going back and forth on both sides of the Yellow River, in the narrow mountains and forests, exploring the terrain and thinking about ways to control the river. Everyone looked like they were tired of work.

My beard and hair have not been taken care of for a long time, and they are messy and tangled in one place.

After a month-long field trip, more than 20 people, like hunters, boarded the official ship back to Bianjing.

They didn't get a chance to rest until they were on the boat. They each took a bath and rested for a while.

The official ship arrived at Longjin Bridge. Wei Renpu did not make any delay. He first ordered the officials behind him to take the opportunity to go back to his hometown to see his family and have a good rest. He also called Jia Jue, and the two of them changed into official uniforms and entered the palace to meet the emperor.

"I have met His Majesty!"

Looking at Wei Renpu, Jia Jue, and Luo Youdu, who were obviously sleep deprived and with a hint of exhaustion in their eyes, they walked down the hall in distress and helped Wei Renpu, who was over fifty years old, and then Jia Jue, who was in his prime, and said movedly: "For

Sheji, thank you both for your hard work."

Wei Renpu still said as before: "How can it be compared to His Majesty's overview of the overall situation and the daily management of everything?"

Luo Youdu said hurriedly: "Stop flattering, talk about the situation quickly, and then go back to sleep. Sharpening the knife will not miss the woodcutter. Wei Gong is the commander-in-chief. If you fail, hundreds of thousands of people will suffer."

Siluke

As he spoke, he ordered people to bring up the big chairs with backrests so that Wei Renpu and Jia Ding could sit more comfortably.

Seeing that Wei Renpu wanted to get up and report, Luo Youdu reached out to stop him and said, "Sit down and talk."

Wei Renpu handed the notes he had compiled to his chamberlain and reported to Luo Youdu the details of their action team this month: "Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River has rarely been managed except for your Majesty's many large-scale dredgings. The situation has been improved.

It is very dangerous, with floods occurring every two or three years. Moreover, the course of the Yellow River has been moving northward year after year. What your Majesty is worried about is indeed happening."

He had a sad look on his face when he said this. This is not the first time that the Yellow River has changed its course. It is recorded in history that in the fifth year of King Ding of Zhou Dynasty, the flood took over the river from Suxukou and traveled eastward to Luochuan to Changshoujin.

It then divides into the Luochuan River, joins the Zhang River in the north, and flows into the sea at Zhangwu.

But this time it was too far away, and many things were recorded incorrectly.

However, the diversion of the Yellow River from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty is horrifyingly recorded in black and white.

Wang Mang usurped the throne, red eyebrows appeared all over the world, and green forests appeared everywhere. Henan and Shandong overflowed for decades, and a large area of ​​​​yellow flood area appeared.

If it weren't for this large-scale disaster, the Han Dynasty would not have broken down.

This is also the reason why Emperor Liu Zhuang of Han Ming Dynasty did not hesitate to use more than 500,000 manpower to control the Yellow River after the world was stabilized.

Wei Renpu was afraid when he thought about it. Seeing that the world was settled and the people were about to live a good life, why didn't God open his eyes?

"In response to this disaster, the Minister, the Ministry of Water Resources and water control officials on both sides of the Strait have conducted repeated investigations and studies and have confirmed that the current situation is getting worse as the Yellow River becomes more blocked. It must be diverted as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on the Yellow River and avoid the tragic situation eight hundred years ago."

Luo Youdu was not surprised by this result. There are only two ways to control water, block it or dredge it.

In ancient times, Dayu had already clearly studied flood control.

The reason why the Yellow River is difficult to control is the sediment. The more you block the Yellow River, the more sediment will accumulate.

Just like a yellow bullet, the more you press it, the more it will explode.

Even later generations can't resist it, let alone modern times?

The real question is how to sparse and where to sparse. This is very important.

The Yellow River Basin is the origin of Chinese culture. In addition to adjoining the foothills, both sides of the Yellow River are dotted with a large number of farmland villages.

Diverting the Yellow River and diverting its water into the sea is not as simple as building a canal.

Instead, dozens or even hundreds of canals need to be built to connect them and flow into the sea.

Where and how to repair this long canal?

Should we go through farmland or through villages?

Or cut through mountains and rocks, bypassing all villages, towns and farmland?

In this situation, you need to face a choice.

This is also the key to Wei Renpu's personal inspection. It is impossible to avoid all fields and villages.

With the technology of this era, it is impossible to break through the mountains and break the rocks. At the critical moment, the choice of protecting the big and discarding the small is unavoidable.

Wei Renpu said: "I have conducted an on-site inspection and found that you can walk Qili River Beach from the northern foot of Guangwu Mountain and divert the water in the direction of Jindi until you reach Henglonglong. Henglonglong is the site left by Wang Jing in the past, but in the past few decades,

The Yellow River continues to move north and has become free. We can maintain the current path of the Yellow River and use this place to save a lot of labor..."

Luo Youdu looked at the note in his hand and nodded as he listened to Wei Renpu's explanation. At the end, he agreed with Guo He's suggestion and handed Wei Renpu the answers to Guo He's examination paper on regulating the Yellow River.

Wei Renpu looked at it carefully, nodded, and said: "This man is very knowledgeable in managing the Yellow River. Your Majesty, at this critical moment, I propose that he be transferred to our special operations team."

In fact, Wei Renpu was a little disgusted with this special operations group at first, but as the investigation unfolded, he found that a group of professional people could really solve many problems by gathering together to discuss and debate. Coupled with the privileges granted by Luo Youdu, the efficiency was far more efficient than

It was faster than he imagined.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to travel through mountains and rivers to explore the terrain in a month, let alone draw up a plan.

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Xiang Wei will be able to see him tomorrow."

Wei Renpu continued: "The dredging route of the Guo River is also the same. But if it were proposed ten, no, five years ago, I would seriously consider it. But now I am afraid that there is not enough time. The southern slope of the south bank of the Yellow River is gentle, and the northern slope is steep and cut.

It takes a lot of time to build mountains and valleys. According to Guo He's suggestion, it will take us at least three years to complete the project."

Mountains and valleys?
Chapter completed!
