The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 145 My Ability Is Limited

After confirming Bai Ying's identity, Chen Jingke immediately said:

"Your Highness, why don't you summon Bai Ying and let him personally explain the change of route?"

"If he has real talent and knowledge, he can be given an official position and be responsible for changing his path."

Zhu Biao did not hesitate and immediately summoned Bai Ying to see him.

While waiting, Chen Jingke carefully studied Bai Ying's plan, and the more he looked at it, the more feasible it became.

Especially the second diversion method reminded him of a far-reaching water control method:

Conquer water and attack sand.

Pan Jixun's invention in the late Ming Dynasty influenced hundreds of years to come.

Even in the new century, this method is still widely used.

I just don’t know if the method of beaming water and attacking sand can be integrated with the second method of diversion proposed by Bai Ying.

If possible, it would save a lot of manpower and material resources.

He spent the next few days perfecting his method.

It's just that he doesn't know how to control water, and he doesn't know whether the method he came up with is feasible.

Zhu Biao was even more pleased to see that he was so concerned.

This is also one of the things he is most satisfied with about Chen Jingke.

Be humble and prudent.

No matter what, if you don’t understand something, never talk nonsense.

When you encounter something you don’t understand, you are willing to learn and study it with an open mind.

It is not impossible for such a talent to marry a daughter to him.

He couldn't help but recall in his mind the proposal of the third child Zhu Fan.

But don't be in a hurry, there is still time, let's wait and see.

Seven days later, Bai Ying finally arrived.

A tall, middle-aged man with a physique that looks like a Shandong man.

The skin is dark and the muscles all over the body are bulging.

This is also consistent with his current status, working as a river worker on the Grand Canal in order to make a living.

Judging from his travel-worn appearance, you can tell that he must have traveled day and night to get here.

When he saw the crown prince, he looked a little reserved.

On the contrary, Zhu Biao was a little surprised. He had thought that such a powerful water control expert would be an elegant person, even if he was not elegant.

I didn't expect that he would be a strong man.

However, people should not be judged by their appearance, but he did not look down upon him.

Zhu Benbin wanted Bai Ying to rest for a day before talking about business, but he didn't care and said that he could talk now.

"I'm a person who does menial work. It's not a big deal to go this far. It's more important to talk about the big things first."

The strong Shandong accent made Chen Jingke even more interesting.

Zhu Biao nodded and asked: "Did you do this method of changing the course of the Yellow River?"

When Bai Ying mentioned her major, she became confident:

"Back to Your Highness, it was written by a common man."

"Last year, the grassroots people became interested when they heard people coming back from Beijing talking about the return of the Yellow River to its old path."

"Have a comprehensive understanding of the water systems in Shandong and Henan..."

Zhu Biao said in surprise: "Have you started studying this matter since then?"

Bai Ying replied: "Yes, we in Shandong need the Yellow River so much. We haven't had a few good years since it changed its course..."

"I thought at that time, don't worry about whether it is true or false, let's understand it first."

"If it's true, my method may be useful."

Zhu Biao praised: "Well, I dare not forget to worry about the country despite my humble position. This is commendable."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment."

Bai Ying gradually became more courageous and asked expectantly:
"Your Highness, does the imperial court really want the Yellow River to return to its old course?"

At this point, Zhu Biao no longer concealed anything, nodded and said:
“There are plans in this regard, but whether they are feasible remains to be discussed.”

Bai Ying said excitedly: "Great, great. Now we, Shandong, are saved."

Seeing his gaffe, Zhu Biao was not angry, but felt that he was really good-natured.

"I've read your diversion method, it's very detailed."

"But I don't know how to control water, and I don't know if this method is feasible."

“It still needs to be discussed and verified by the Ministry of Industry before it can be determined.”

"Moreover, changing the course of the Yellow River is of great importance, and we need to persuade the officials to agree."

"Do you dare to go to Beijing with me to convince the Ministry of Industry and other ministers?"

Bai Ying said generously and fearlessly: "The common people are willing to go."

Zhu Biao was even more satisfied and said, "Don't be afraid, just tell me what you know."

Then he pointed at Chen Jingke: "This is Chen Jingke, the grandson's companion."

"He was the first to propose changing the course of the Yellow River. You can have a good chat."

"Huh?" Looking at Chen Jingke, who was fourteen or fifteen years old, Bai Ying couldn't help but say in surprise.

I couldn’t believe that such a magnificent project could be thought up by him.

Chen Jingke showed eight teeth and said with a smile: "Brother Bai, please give me your advice."

Bai Ying said quickly: "Don't dare, Chen Bandu can just call me Bai Ying."

He is not the kind of person who is pedantic and ignorant of the world.

On the contrary, people from all walks of life can make a living on the Grand Canal.

He understands the ways of the world better than the average person.

He naturally knew who Taisun was, and he also knew who Chen Jingke was.

The story of how he saved his father by exposing himself was widely spread, and it is still being circulated to this day.

But it has been changed beyond recognition.

The most widely circulated version is the combined version of "Revealing the List to Save My Father" and the Zhao Mao Case.

The protagonist unveils the imperial decree to save his grandson, marries the princess as his consort, and single-handedly uncovers the Zhao Mao case.

Fight against corrupt officials in various ways.

It can be said that the relevant plots are getting richer and richer, and more and more corrupt officials are defeated by him.

Chen Jingke himself has heard related stories, but he can only say that they are laughable.

He had a hunch that it would probably develop into a huge series no less than that of Bao Qingtian in the future.

Bai Ying had naturally heard these stories, and he also knew that his grandson was seriously injured when he fell from a horse not long ago, and it was Chen Bandu who cured him.

To him, Chen Jingke is a legendary figure.

Now I saw Chen Jingke with my own eyes, and the prince introduced him so grandly.

Obviously, in the eyes of the royal family, he is not just a doctor, but also has a more important status.

In addition, the Yellow River diversion plan was actually proposed by him.

Bai Ying felt a little more grateful in her heart, so she kept her posture very low.

Chen Jingke also respected him very much, and he was like a white brother.

This moved Bai Ying even more, and her affection for Chen Jingke skyrocketed.

Seeing that the two of them were getting along very happily, Zhu Biao said nothing more and turned to leave.

Once he left, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

The two of them started talking in detail over the map.

Bai Yingben has a background in civil science and speaks in plain English, which even people who have never read can understand.

So even if Chen Jingke doesn't know how to control water, it's easy to understand what he means.

The more I know, the more I admire Bai Ying.

It was indeed considered very comprehensively, even the matter of relocating the people was taken into consideration.

Where does the new river course go, why does it go here, how many people are needed, how many days does it take to excavate...

Even where the surrounding people will migrate, etc., are all planned.

So to speak, if it is determined that this river channel is available.

The court no longer needs to make an implementation plan, it can just use his plan.

However, Chen Jingke did not give a positive response.

Again, changing the course of the Yellow River is a major matter and needs to be verified by a professional team.The most taboo thing is for people who don't know how to do it. They just listen to a few words and then get excited and start doing it.

Often bad things happen.

After Bai Ying finished explaining, he explained the method of beaming water to attack sand.

Bai Ying was shocked when he heard this method and said repeatedly:

"Genius, what a genius idea."

"If this method had been implemented earlier, there would have been no such thing as the Yellow River taking the Huai River and flowing into the sea."

"Chen Bandu Guo is a great talent. No wonder he came up with the idea of ​​changing the course of the Yellow River. Bai admires him."

Chen Jingke just said modestly: "I also heard other people say this method, so I don't dare to take Brother Bai's praise."

Bai Ying only thought that he was being modest, and she admired him even more.

Chen Jingke did not explain much, but said: "I wonder whether the method of confining water to attack sand can be used in the construction of the Yellow River channel."

Bai Ying affirmed: "Yes, it's really good. I already have many ideas, but they still need to be perfected."

Chen Jingke was also overjoyed and said, "It's good if you can use it. Brother Bai can think slowly."

The two of them didn't talk much after that. Bai Ying was on the road continuously and was so busy that she couldn't stand it any longer.

Chen Jingke personally arranged a place for him to live and asked someone to take good care of him.

When everything was arranged, Chen Jingke went to see Zhu Biao.

As soon as they met, he said: "Congratulations, Your Highness, on your great talent."

Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh and said: "You, Chen Jingke, can even think that he is a good talent. It seems that this person is indeed a great talent."

"I was still worried about who would be responsible for changing the course of the Yellow River, but now the problem has been solved."

Chen Jingke said slyly: "It's not just about changing the course of the Yellow River. In the future, the Guangtong Canal will be opened, the Sui-Tang Canal will be restored, and the Huaihe River system will be reorganized...

"You can leave all these things to him."

Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing: "You are really rude."

Chen Jingke said matter-of-factly: "Who gave him this ability? Use it to your death if you can use it."

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Okay, I will remember what I said. Don't complain in the future."

Chen Jingke's face immediately turned bitter, digging a hole for himself.

In the next few days, Zhu Biao conducted another investigation into the situation around Luoyang.

The land of Gyeonggi does not just refer to the area under your feet, but a large area.

Now that you have decided to move the capital here, you must be aware of it.

This time Chen Jingke did not go out with him, but stayed in Luoyang with Bai Ying to discuss building river channels.

It has to be said that Bai Ying is indeed a genius in this area, and he quickly came up with a more feasible plan.

"With this method, we can use the water flow to widen the small river channel, saving a lot of manpower, material resources and time."

"There is no need to build the river embankments too high in the first place."

“Excess manpower was allocated to build the river embankment wider.”

“It can not only reduce the risk of diversion, but also save costs for subsequent heightening.”

Chen Jingke also agreed and said:

"It takes time for the Yellow River to silt up. It can be slowly raised after the diversion is completed."

Soon, Bai Ying said with a headache again: "But what to do with the washed-out sediment? It can't all be piled up downstream, right?"

Chen Jingke laughed and said, "Brother Bai is confused. He builds sluices at regular intervals as sand discharge outlets."

“Placing the sand discharge outlet in a low-lying area can create large tracts of fertile farmland.”

Bai Ying patted his thigh and said, "Wonderful, this method really kills two birds with one stone."

"It's a pity that Chen Bandu doesn't learn how to control water, otherwise he will be a master of water control for a generation."

Chen Jingke smiled and said nothing. He knew his own family affairs. He was just plagiarizing the experience of his predecessors.

But Bai Ying thought that he was not interested in treating water. Thinking about his identity as a miracle doctor, she became even more sure of her guess.

I sighed in my heart, what a genius.

He has such profound medical skills at a young age, and with only a slight understanding of it, he has put forward so many groundbreaking suggestions on water treatment.

After that, Bai Ying began to perfect the new diversion method.

Chen Jingke did not participate anymore, nor was he able to participate. Instead, he spent more energy on the new capital.

However, he didn’t know much about architectural design, so he couldn’t think of much.

First of all, the sewer system and drainage system must be improved.

And we must be forward-looking and make the road as wide as possible.

Nothing else.

The design of the new city and how to divide the functional areas are all done by professionals, and he can't get involved.

As for building a new capital city without spending a penny, he doesn't even have the ability.

Not to mention him, so many big guys in the 21st century have not done it.

The most typical example is Pudong back then, and the new district later built next to the capital.

Those were all built by the state, which invested real money and money.

Including new development zones abroad, no one can build them without spending money.

Could it be that all the big guys have a collective short-circuit in their brains?
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the person who thought of this method is a genius.

Surpassing all the big guys in the 21st century.

Chen Jingke couldn't do it anyway.

The most he can do is make suggestions on some functions when planning a new city.

To put it bluntly, as a time traveler, he currently has practical abilities in addition to medical skills.

In other respects, they are still at the stage of talking nonsense.

It's okay to come up with an idea, but if you really put it into practice, you will become a laughing stock.

He is very self-aware and knows that he can be where he is today.

It relies on medical skills, forward-looking vision, and accumulation that is hundreds of years ahead of the times.

So he also sticks to this line, only giving ideas, only providing reference opinions, and asking nothing else.

Just like this time when moving the capital, he only asked Zhu Yuanzhang and others to analyze the various elements of the capital and decide which city to choose.

I don’t know either, think about it yourself.

Time entered March unknowingly, and Zhu Biao finally completed his inspection and was ready to return to Yingtian.

Chen Jingke was a little reluctant, but he was still free outside.

And Yingtian still has a big trouble waiting for him.

But the decision on this matter was not his, and he had no choice but to pack his luggage.

Just one day before departure, a piece of news came that completely relieved his worries.

Li Wenzhong died of illness.

If it weren't for the inappropriateness, Chen Jingke would have wanted to burst into laughter.

This is God helping me.

But the next news made his heart tremble.

Zhu Yuanzhang executed all the doctors who treated Li Wenzhong. If Empress Ma had not interceded, the families of these doctors would also have been killed.

Even so, they were all exiled.

This news made him silent for a long time.

Zhu Biao's expression was relatively calm, as if he had expected this day.

However, he still quickened his pace and rushed back to Yingtian as quickly as possible.

Li Wenzhong was his cousin and the Duke of Cao. He, the prince, should come forward both emotionally and rationally.

After several days of traveling, the fleet successfully arrived outside Yingtian City.

Looking at the towering city wall, Chen Jingke felt relieved a lot.

But he didn't know that a big event, good or bad, was waiting for him.

　Today is really uncomfortable. The keyboard is broken and the new keyboard I bought has not arrived yet.

　　When typing, I spend half the time fighting against the keys.

　　pain.

　　However, the 30 yuan Shuangfeiyan keyboard and mouse set has worked for me for more than two years, and it has been hard work.

　　It's time to retire it.
