I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 822

"Is that Weishui?"

Zhao Xi suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and asked Su Song as if seeing him for the first time.

"Go back to the official's house, this is the mouth where the Wei River flows into the Yellow River."

Su Song didn't think it was unusual, the sand table made by Shen Kuo under the guidance of Workshop City was very vivid, and it was normal for the officials to recognize this place.

"How about the Weishui channel? Can the fleet enter?"

"The official family..."

Su Song was a little puzzled. Everyone knew that the official's trip was to check the topography of the Yellow River spillway. Why would they ask to enter the Weihe River channel if they don't know?

"The Weishui River is the first tributary of the Yellow River from the Taihang Mountains to the Central Plains. Among all the rivers of the Yellow River, it can be regarded as the largest tributary."

"To govern the Yellow River, not only the Yellow River should be considered, but all the tributaries of the Yellow River should be taken into consideration."

"The so-called big rivers have water and small rivers are full. On the contrary, if the tributaries are properly handled, the Yellow River will naturally reduce flooding."

"I have been thinking about a problem for the past few days. If the water of the Yellow River is released, the sediment carried by the Yellow River will inevitably be washed out along the floodway. If it is a barren land, it is okay. If the place suitable for flood discharge is a market town or a farm Tian, ​​how should the court deal with it?"

"That's why, I think that when considering the specific location of the floodway, we should first consider the possible consequences of the Yellow River sediment after the flood discharge. In addition, the several larger tributaries of the Yellow River should be treated simultaneously."

"This governance is not to blindly build a floodway, but to consider the combination of flood discharge and irrigation, and achieve the purpose of flood control under the principle of not wasting water."

The excuse has been thought of long ago, and the rhetoric has been prepared long ago.Although Zhao Xi was quite restless, he was still able to clearly express his intentions.

Only by entering the Weihe River can he have an excuse to travel overland, and it is possible to pass by the place where he has been haunted by dreams... Zhao Xi is not clear why the formatted memory will be hidden in the bottom of his heart for 40 years. During this period of time, I kept harassing myself and was very irritable.

Zhao Xi has a strong self-control ability, which he has cultivated over the years. Even if he is irritable, Zhao Xi can control his emotions well.Except for the kick that kicked the second son with anger, Zhao Xi was still the same, and there was nothing unusual to be noticed.

At this time, it was already close, Zhao Xi still suppressed his emotions in the uncontrollable confusion in his heart.

The official ships entered the Weihe waterway, and the waterway was still lively, and it was also a situation where all kinds of ships avoided.Get used to it or not, even if such a situation still exists in later generations, Zhao Xi didn't try to be noble.

Right now, he wanted to take a look at the memory that could not be erased.

"Officials, you will arrive at Jingzhao Mansion after a hundred miles..."

The official did not order the boat to stop, so the official boat could only keep going upstream along the Weihe River like this, and it had already entered the Weihe River for thirty miles before it knew it.Su Song couldn't figure out the official's intention, but he also knew that the official must have no intention of going to Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhao Xi was distracted again, his mind was in a mess.

"Oh, stop the boat and go ashore..."

The preset arrangements are still in play.

The waterway of the Weihe River is prosperous, so there is no need to worry about finding a ferry where the boat can stop.Zhao Xi didn't quite know where the boat stopped, but it was probably in the Tongguan area.

The ferry is not big. For the convenience of this trip, the official ship did not choose a large ship with a deeper draft. Such a ferry does not exist and cannot be docked.

After the whole team boarded the ferry, it controlled the ferry in an instant, and no other ships approached... At this time, the people were still obedient, and even left with a smile... as if It was an honor to be ousted from the cabinet.

Indeed, the vigorous development of the dynasty in these years also has a very high reputation among the people.

"Zirong, it is said that eight waters surround Chang'an, how is the current water system in Jingzhao Mansion?"

"Back to the official's house, the water system of Jingzhao Mansion still exists, but in name only. In the melee period of the previous dynasty, many parties fought for the land of Chang'an, resulting in the destruction of various water conservancy facilities. Although the water system still exists today, there is no more prosperous Tang Dynasty. The grand event around Chang'an."

"As far as I know, after the Guochao promulgated the Farmland Water Conservancy Law, the Jingzhao Mansion also repaired the water conservancy facilities to a certain extent, but due to the serious damage at the beginning, the repairs are now less than eleventh of the previous dynasty."

"Chang'an Bashui still has plenty of water, but its role is not as good as that of the previous [-]th. In addition, the weather has been good these years, and the supply of food in the country is sufficient due to Annan. Local prefectures and counties, including gentry and gentry, are not very interested in farming and mulberry facilities. , Bashui is a picture with its shape."

In the cabinet, Su Song is in charge of the workshop city and the Ministry of Industry, and has a good understanding of the water conservancy of the entire country.Although there was a gap in knowledge, he couldn't think about the various factors of governing the Yellow River as comprehensively as Zhao Xi did, but he also did some work on the largest tributary of the Yellow River.

Su Song understands the temperament of officials, so he doesn't shy away from anything when making statements.Of course, this is not aimed at any food policy, let alone the delay in water conservancy work by local state governments.

"Qinchuan, eight hundred miles away, is a land of fish and rice. At the beginning, Zheng Guoqu created the barren Guanzhong Plain, but unexpectedly, it is not as good as the ancients."

"I still say that, the treatment of the Yellow River should not only start with the Yellow River, but more consideration should be given to the role of the Yellow River's tributaries on the water level of the Yellow River during the flood season."

"Stay here tonight, and the whole team will go overland tomorrow. I want to see if it can play a role in governing the Yellow River from the perspective of restoring the Eight Rivers."

With the topic brought up here, Zhao Xi was finally able to bring up the hidden purpose in a reasonable way.

That's all Zhao Xi said, but if you really want to go overland, you still need a lot of work to do.Su Song did not bring the carriage regulated by the cabinet, let alone the official chariot.

After the official explained this, Su Song had to arrange to contact the Jingzhao Mansion to arrange related work for tomorrow.

Fortunately, the officials did not visit privately this time, and the Jingzhao Mansion also knew about it. It was just that the officials strictly prohibited the local state government from receiving them, so the Jingzhao Mansion did not dare to come over.

However, after the Jingzhao Mansion knew the information about the officials stationed here, they must be waiting around... not only Su Song, but the officials probably also knew about it.

Therefore, Su Song is not in a difficult position when arranging his travel arrangements for tomorrow.

It's just that Su Song seems to be confused about the purpose of the official's trip at this time.

The purpose of the cabinet discussion and official travel is to determine the location of the Yellow River floodway, or to determine where the imperial court will build the floodway first.But now that the government is going by land, it seems that it has deviated from its original purpose.

Su Song agrees with the official view on the relationship between the Yellow River and its tributaries, and also agrees with the official's consideration of the Yellow River sediment. Naturally, he thinks that the reason for the official's doing so is to investigate the impact of the construction of the floodway on the spot.

But the direction of the officials' conversation today seems to be biased towards the governance of the tributaries of the Yellow River... Su Song is really confused about what the officials mean.
