I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 95 Jing Tianwei and Guo Erlang!
The carriage stopped steadily on the north bank of the river. Guo Yi jumped out of the carriage impatiently, took a few steps forward, and looked up.

There is a river several hundred meters wide in front of it. The water is sparkling, and there are layers of ripples under the breeze.

Looking from near to far, the jade belt extending infinitely forward is extremely wide, which makes people open-minded.

At this moment, when the three embankment officers on duty at Shui Ze saw the familiar carriage that came every day, they immediately got up, walked two steps closer, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, see your lord!"

"En." The King of Chu nodded in agreement, then walked to the river and asked, "How's the situation?"

"Back to the prince, the situation is getting worse. The water level has dropped again." The gray-haired middle-aged man standing between the three of them returned full of sorrow.

This man, in middle age, has gray hair and beard. I don't know if he is tired of the drought in front of him.

The King of Chu frowned and came to the Shuize Monument, and sure enough... the situation is not good!

Even if the water level of this big river continues to drop, it is estimated that other small rivers will be more difficult.

"What about the water level of the Dongjing River?"

"Back to the prince, the same is true. Perhaps, it is much worse than Dajiang."

"Hey...!" King Chu sighed, looked at the incomparably wide river, and continued to ask: "Is there any response?"

Here's the problem again...

The three people in Di'an Division had tangled and helpless faces. The King of Chu came every day, and they often asked this question.

What can we do?
We are not God, we can't control the wind and rain!

It's not raining, what can we do?What else can you do but complain?

But the most useless thing in this world is the complaint of the weak.

The three of them bowed slightly, without the face to look up, all with expressions of constipated years.

suddenly,

The gray-haired middle-aged man said in a hurry: "My lord, according to my humble opinion, the Dongjing River should be blocked as well!
Just at the intersection with the big river in front, intercept it.Don't let the water flow into the river. "

Guo Yi immediately turned his head to look at him. This guy's thoughts coincided with his own.Also a smart guy.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" The other person echoed very alertly: "According to what I see, not only the Dongjing River is blocked, but also the Zhangshui, Bashui, Hanshui, Qingjiang, Daoshui, Jushui, Xishui, Fu Shui and others, block it together!"

He was quite proud in his words, feeling that he had come up with a brilliant idea.

However, the King of Chu did not respond immediately, and turned to look at Guo Yi, waiting for his opinion.

But he shook his head and explained: "I have also thought about blocking the important branches of these big rivers, after all, their water flow is large enough.

However, there are also many concerns.

For one thing, they are too wide.Not to mention a lot of manpower and material resources, the wide river surface also means a large flow. Once the flood season breaks out, such a large flow will quickly gather and hit the river bank.

Second, the important branches of these big rivers are not only within our Jingbei Road, but also go south and east, flowing to Jingnan South Road and Huainan East Road, once they are blocked..."

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone already understood the hidden meaning.

Your Jinghu North Road is dry, and the river will be blocked, and the Jingnan South Road is also dry.You need people to eat horse chews, and others need them too.

What he said was equivalent to slapping the faces of the three of Di'ansi.

After hearing this, the king of Chu immediately became frowning, looked at Guo Yi and asked again: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

At this moment, the three of Di'ansi immediately turned their heads to look at him as if they were watching a play.

At the same time, I was very curious in my heart, who is this handsome young man who is sitting in the carriage with King Chu?

Guo Yi looked at the big river in the distance, and silently called up the landscape map in his mind.First, look at the ancient map, and check every important branch in detail.

Then, call out the modern map and compare the two.Trying to find the difference.

He vaguely remembered that almost all of these big rivers were diverted.The river deviates from the original channel, and the distance to the north or south is tens of hundreds of meters, while others are thousands of meters away.

River diversion is very normal, such as river raids, river bed silting, etc. cause diversion.

There are many reasons, such as structural reasons: in the watershed, due to differential tectonic movements, the rising and falling tendencies and speeds in different areas are different, so that the river migrates to areas that are relatively declining or subsidence. style migration.

There are also hydrological reasons: in the plain river section, a large amount of sediment is continuously deposited, making the riverbed higher than the ground on both sides, causing the river to burst, runoff along the low-lying area, and form a new river channel.The most common is the Yellow River.

But no matter what the reason, the old channel that was abandoned after the river diverted, it is still there.

Because the river carries a lot of sediment, the old river channel is not suitable for growing crops.

Perhaps, these abandoned old rivers can be used to make a fuss.

At this time, the King of Chu was standing by the river, saw that he hadn't responded for a long time, so he turned his head and saw that he was beaming, and couldn't help asking curiously: "The smile on Guan Erlang's face, did you think of a good plan? "

"En." Guo Yi nodded, raised his finger and pointed to the rippling river in front of him, and responded: "In the past few thousand years of our own historical records, no matter whether the Dajiang River, the Han River, or the Dongjing River and Zhang River, have experienced Numerous diversions were made.

They headed south or north, broke through the shackles, rushed away from the original river course, and went through countless diversions.

Then, after thousands of years of precipitation, the scene we see before our eyes was formed. "

Hearing his words, the others were all lost in thought, thinking about the meaning of his words, as if they had thought of something, but it was too vague to express.

I heard Guo Yi continue to say: "The sea is changing, and the world is changing. Over the past thousand years, some of the abandoned old rivers have become farmland. But some are because the river water carries a lot of sediment. , unable to grow crops, wasted there.

Therefore, we have to use these abandoned old rivers.At the place where the river course is changed, build gates to connect these old river courses.

When there is a drought, the gates are opened to irrigate the farmland on both sides of the old river.

When floods occur, these gates are also opened to discharge floodwater into these abandoned old river channels.

These gates are only closed when the season is stable and there is no drought or flood. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the gray-haired middle-aged man suddenly slapped his thigh and echoed loudly: "It's wonderful! This plan is very clever! Using these abandoned old river channels is equivalent to extending the river infinitely." The flow area of ​​the river expands the coverage of the river!
Moreover, these old river courses are a masterpiece of nature.

We only need to put in a small amount of labor and carry out simple modifications, and it can be put into use immediately, which greatly saves time.

Moreover, as far as I know, some old river channels are very close to those small rivers that have stopped flowing. We only need to dig some shallow ditches to connect them.

This serves multiple purposes!

Wu that young man is really a talent in the world! "
