I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 824
Zhao Xi opened her arms and raised her head, allowing Chen Xi to draw her figure very long and reflect it on the top of the mountain ridge.Zhao Xi, who merged into the dawn, was shrouded in brilliance, making Su Song and others feel a sense of sacredness...

"Shi Deyi, tell the magistrate of Tongzhou to build a temple on the top of this mountain ridge, and ask Zhao Qin for money and grain..."

It's inexplicable, the government's will makes people feel inexplicable.In fact, this road is a bit inexplicable.

To the west of the mountain ridge, there should have been Cangshan Town, but looking at it now, it is just a barren or plowed plain.No one knows what Zhao Xi is feeling, maybe it is really feeling the dawn...
"Zirong, the Yellow River flows south from Puzhou, and the place where the Weihe River joins the Yellow River should be the most suitable place in Guanzhong to build a floodway, and the terrain is also the most suitable."

"However, the management of the Yellow River is rooted in sand control. I know this, so I focused on promoting carbon charcoal, and avoided cutting down forests in the upper reaches as much as possible to preserve water and soil."

"From the perspective of the middle and lower reaches, building a flood outlet at the mouth of the Weihe River into the Yellow River can solve the problem of flooding in the lower reaches of the Yellow River to a certain extent..."

Su Song knew that there would be a turning point in the official family.Su Song had to admit that he and Shen Kuo, including the entire survey officials, believed that the place where the Wei River flows into the Yellow River was the most suitable place to build a floodway.Even when secretly reporting to officials, this is the suggestion.

We have the right to secret report on many things in the workshop city, not only to provide reference for the officials, but more importantly, the officials must decide the information on the various resources that have been inspected, and the officials must decide on the mineral resources. development status.

When the officials speak out their suggestions, or under such circumstances, they know that the officials are about to make a turning point.

"I agree to build a floodway here. However, I ask you to comprehensively consider the cultivated fields in the Guanzhong Plain, fully consider the connection between the Guanzhong Plain water system and the floodway, and fully consider the consequences of the amount of sand carried by the Yellow River."

"The Yellow River's flood discharge with sediment will inevitably lead to a large amount of sediment entering the spillway with the water flow. If things go on like this, it will form alluvial land, and even cause sediment backwashing, which will eventually affect or even destroy the fertile fields in the Guanzhong Plain!"

"To me, Gyeonggi Province and Gyeonggi Province are the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Although the sacrifice of some of the good land in Gyeonggi Prefecture will benefit Gyeongxi Road, Gyeonggi Province and even Gyeongdong Road more than the loss of Gyeonggi Prefecture, I still Don't want to do that."

This is the entanglement in Zhao Xi's heart.

Later generations, in the era he originally lived in, there was a majestic dam at the mouth of the Wei River into the Yellow River, and it was because of this dam that he moved to Cangshan Town...
This matter, even in the era he originally lived in, had been debated for decades.

Less than a year after the completion of a dam, a large amount of sediment was deposited in the Weihe River Basin, the river bed was raised, large tracts of fertile land were submerged, and the land was salinized rapidly. The danger was approaching that of Xi'an at that time.

Forced to have no choice but to lower the water level, dismantle the 15-kilowatt generator set, and refit a 5-kilowatt small unit.Simultaneously, an astonishing amount of manpower, material and financial resources are expended to get through the drainage holes to discharge the silt.After such a toss, no less than tens of billions of yuan were invested in the reservoir "drainage channel".

Many farmers who have lived in the Weihe Plain for generations had to leave their homes and migrate to water-scarce areas in Ningxia.Back then, Zhao Xi's parents, because it was hard to leave their homeland, settled a whole town west of this ridge.

At that time, he often listened to the narratives of the older generation...
Zhao Xi didn't know whether his dreams these days were related to what was about to happen in the future, but when it really required him to choose, he also struggled for a long time... At this time, it is very different from later generations, loess Soil erosion on the plateau is not as serious as in later generations.

Su Song listened for a long time, but he couldn't understand what the official said.

How should I put it, since we agreed to build a floodway at the place where the Weihe River flows into the Yellow River, but we also reminded that the sediment of the Yellow River may cause the destruction of good fields in Jingzhaofu, and we don't want to damage the people of Jingzhaofu... How can there be such a plan for both ends?
"Zirong, when I entered the Weihe River, I talked with you about the eight rivers surrounding Chang'an. You also know that the eight rivers of Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, Ju, Yu, Chan, and Ba form a circle around Chang'an. water system."

"So, I thought, if we make full use of the gullies formed by the alluvial flow of the Batian River, and use these gullies as a basis, use manpower to penetrate all the gullies in the Guanzhong Plain, and finally connect with the Yellow River, using this as the Yellow River's floodway. The Guanzhong Plain forms a circulating flood discharge system like the Chang'an Eight Rivers."

"At the same time, choose a suitable area and communicate the spillway with Chang'an Bashui in the form of Doumen, so as to form an adjustable communication between the Yellow River water and Chang'an Bashui, and use the flow of Bashui to flush the sediment of the Yellow River spillway, so as to achieve Man-made regulation and balance of alluvial sediment."

"After this operation, I think it can not only solve the problem of flood discharge from the Yellow River, but also reduce or even avoid the damage of good fields in the Guanzhong Plain to a certain extent. At the same time, the introduction of the Yellow River through the floodway can promote the irrigation of the Guanzhong Plain and promote The matter of farming and mulberry in the Guanzhong Plain."

Perhaps it can be said that Zhao Xi had a flash of inspiration, or it could be that he had been thinking about it for decades.Zhao Xi made such a decision not only to solve the problem of flooding of the Yellow River in this era, but also to leave the terrain and records created by this floodway as a warning for the original future and future generations.

The so-called vicissitudes of the millennium and the flood discharge of the Yellow River will inevitably change the topography of the entire Guanzhong Plain.As long as the record is left, we can tell future generations that we have such experience and lessons in deciding matters related to the Yellow River.

Perhaps, Zhao Xi wanted to avoid those people who don’t know whether they will exist, who can’t tell whether they are their descendants or their parents’ generation, so as to avoid the pain of migration...

Su Song didn't understand so many thoughts in the official's heart, but he completely understood the official's meaning.

How should I put it, the eight waters surround Chang'an, although it is not true that the eight waters circulate into a water system as the officials said, but there is a situation of mutual connection. At least the Wei River is the main river where the eight waters of Chang'an are unified.

However, the idea proposed by the officials, whether it is really connecting the eight rivers or building the Yellow River floodway, is really quite ambitious.

The grandeur does not mean the grandeur of the project, but the grandeur of the structure.

There is no completely flat plain, so the so-called Guanzhong Plain naturally has gully terrain.Make full use of these terrains to build a flood channel...and then communicate with Chang'an Bashui... Su Song doesn't even know what the officials thought of it.

Anyway, he doesn't have such unconstrained thinking at all.

Su Song was a little excited. Standing on this mountain ridge, although the Guanzhong Plain is just below the mountain, he still couldn't see clearly the distance beyond his sight.

When I get excited, I forget some taboos...
