please make me king

Chapter 1065 Yinjing and Duanjing

"At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of wastes were waiting to be rebuilt. The Hongqu Weir had long been in disrepair, and the weirs were blocked and unusable. In the eighth year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu ordered Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, to dredge the canals. From Jingyang, Sanyuan, Liquan, and Gaoling , and the five counties of Lintong benefited greatly." Zhang Jinyan couldn't help explaining.

"In the [-]st year of Hongwu, the Hongqu weir was blocked, and the Marquis of Changxing dredged it again."

"In this way, at the beginning of Chenghua, the mouth of the canal was getting higher and the mountain was getting narrower, the water flow was about to be strong, and the water conservancy was getting weaker. Xiang Zhong, the governor of Shaanxi, cut through the mountain as his belly, and dug a stone canal for one mile and three parts, and diverted Jing water into the canal."

"Afterwards, Yu Zijun and Ruan Qin followed it. After a total of one year, the canal was completed, irrigating more than [-] hectares of fertile land, and it is called Guanghui Canal."

"Afterwards, the canal was often blocked, and it was dredged every ten or twenty years. But the Jingshui became shallower and the canal was too high to divert."

"By the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, there was no water in Lintong, and there were only four counties left."

"Unexpectedly, it was still repeatedly repaired and fortified, and in the fourth year of the apocalypse, only [-] hectares and [-] mu of farmland were irrigated."

"Nowadays, there is no water in the canal, and only a false name remains."

Zhang Shun seemed to understand it, but he only roughly understood what Zhang Jinyan meant.

Roughly speaking, there is a Guanghui Canal that used to irrigate [-] hectares of fertile fields in five counties, but now it is broken and cannot irrigate the fields.

Repair the canal?This is a good thing, so I couldn't help asking: "I don't know what Zhangzhi County wants to conscript the people to dredge the Guanghui Canal again?"

"Restructuring the canal is the right way, but there are two difficulties in it, which have to be reported to King Shun for ruling!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Jinyan shook his head and said.

"There are two difficulties in this Guanghui Canal. One is silt. Although since ancient times, the Jing and Wei have been clearly distinguished, the Jing water is clear and the Wei water is turbid, but in the rainy season, both silt and sand fall, generally the same."

"That's why diverting Jingjing for irrigation will inevitably lead to the risk of sedimentation. Therefore, the Guanghui Canal is dredged every ten or twenty years, which is a waste of money and people. It is a last resort!"

Well, it turns out that this is the origin of the word "Separation between Wei and Wei". I said why the name of the river sounds so familiar.

Zhang Shun murmured to himself, thinking: "Now that the rebel army has just occupied Shaanxi, if we can simply dredge the river and keep it safe for ten years, it will be considered a great achievement!"

Now that Zhang Shun has just arrived in Shaanxi, he heard that there are continuous severe droughts in various places.

If it doesn't take too much effort to ensure that Guanghuiqu can play its due role, there are countless living people, and of course it is boundless merit.

Thinking of this, he should not ask: "What about the second one?"

"Secondly, Jingshui is shallow day by day, and the mouth of the canal is getting higher and higher. There is water but cannot be diverted."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Shun was a little confused. Could it be that the mouth of the canal can't be built in the Himalayas, and can it be raised by a few millimeters every year?

"I saw with my own eyes a few days ago that the river was almost at the same level as the mouth of the canal, and it was difficult for Jing water to enter the canal!" Zhang Jinyan was actually a little unclear, so he had to tell the truth.

"Well, since there is this dilemma, what is Zhang Zhixian going to do?" Leaving aside the things that I don't understand, Zhang Shun thought that you deliberately mentioned this matter today, so you don't want to throw me a difficult problem, right? ?
"Since the Zhengguo Canal was opened in the Qin Dynasty, the Jing River has gradually declined, and all dynasties have drawn it from the upper reaches of the Jing River." Zhang Jinyan couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"In the Ming Dynasty, when the accumulation reached the rocky mountain, we had to go through the mountain to enter the belly. It took [-] years to do it. Unexpectedly, it is low now!"

Good guy, Zhang Shun understands now.

Emotional diversion of Jing water for irrigation has been done every generation and every generation. Don’t worry if the water diversion point is low, just dig a new water diversion port from the upstream.

As a result, when it was Daming's turn, unfortunately, the diversion from the Jinghe River had been drained to the stone mountain, and it was difficult to excavate. Therefore, it took [-] years for Na Xiangzhong, Yu Zijun and Ruan Qin to complete the excavation.

If it is so difficult to open a new canal to divert water, it really has to wait.

If the rebel army really spent ten or twenty years digging a canal here, Mrs. Hong would probably laugh out loud with joy.

"So now there are two views. One is to re-'open the Diaoerzui Yinjing' once and for all to ensure that the canal will continue for decades." Zhang Jinyan couldn't help but smiled wryly. ,

"Secondly, reject the Jingjing and divert the spring, and the thin water will flow for a long time!"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words. You cut off Jingshui. How can there be such a thing as "a long stream of thin water" in your Guanghui Canal?
"In the past, when Xiang Zhong and others excavated the stone mountain, they discovered that there was a natural spring in the mountain, so they drew it together and returned to Guanghui Canal together with Jingshui."

"Now that Jingshui cannot be diverted, some people propose to continue digging springs, and simply use springs instead of Jingshen to completely solve the problem of silt and low water level!"

"Oh? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two?" It sounds like the second one is very reliable, why are there still arguments?There must be something strange in it.

"If the Diaoerzui Stone Mountain is excavated, the project is huge, and the gains outweigh the losses. It is estimated that it will not last a hundred years, and it will be another Guanghui Canal!" Zhang Jinyan couldn't help but smiled bitterly. !"

"As for the Jujing Yinquan, although it can be done once and for all, how can the spring water be like Jingshui? Irrigate more than [-] hectares every year, which is better than nothing!"

In fact, how did Zhang Shun know that what Zhang Jinyan mentioned to him was actually a public case that stretched through the Ming and Qing dynasties.

A plan is cumbersome, costly, and effective, but it is likely to follow in the footsteps of Guanghuiqu.

The latter plan saves time and effort, but it can only irrigate more than [-] hectares of cultivated land, which is really better than nothing.

Zhang Shun thought for a while, and couldn't help but make up his mind: "Well, it's already late today, let's rest for now. Tomorrow, I will go to the water diversion of Guanghui Canal with you to check it, and then we can make up our minds!"

Since he took the initiative to "hunt", he couldn't be like Qianlong when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. He only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun. He had to check and solve the problem.

Zhang Jinyan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The people of Sanyuan are grateful for the love of the King of Qin."

What do you think, it turns out that because the "Jijing Yinquan" diverted too little water, it only benefited Jingyang County, and the other counties such as Sanyuan, Liquan, Gaoling and Lintong had no water to use.

Although Zhang Jinyan told Zhang Shun about the matter from a neutral point of view, he still hoped that Jingjing could be introduced into the canal, which would also benefit Sanyuan and other counties.

Seeing that Zhang Shun attached so much importance to this matter, he had a much better impression of the Rebel Army.

In fact, Zhang Shun didn't know that Zhang Jinyan was also considered a celebrity in the original history. He successively served as the magistrate of Yan'an Qingjian County and Sanyuan County. He dealt with the rebels for a long time and made some contributions.

He is not like Zhang Shun imagined, a boneless person who always looks at the face of the enemy.

That Zhang Jinyan later also worked successively as the head of the household department, Dugeshizhong of the military department, and minister of the military department.

It was not until Li Zicheng captured the capital that Zhang Jinyan saw that the general situation was over, and then together with the great scholar Wei Zaode, he led a hundred officials to express congratulations to welcome the rebels.

When the Qing army entered the pass, many officials immediately changed their families and took refuge in the new master.

However, he fled directly to his hometown, and instead accepted the official position of Nanming, and was appointed governor of Hebei, Shanxi, and Henan military affairs.

It wasn't until Duoduo pacified Henan and Jiangnan that he had no choice but to hide in Shangma Mountain in Lu'an Prefecture. It was not until he was recruited by Hong Chengchou that he had no choice but to seek refuge in the Qing Dynasty.

This person is neither Wang Qiaonian and Zhang Bojing who died generously, nor Hong Chengchou who defected to the enemy and helped the evildoers.

Compared with them, he is more like an ordinary person in a building that is about to fall.

Some persist, but they cannot persist to the end.

However, he was luckier than others in that although he was later exiled to Ningguta because of the "literary prison", he left a series of documents such as the monograph "Ningguta Shanshuiji" with high research value here for future generations.
