Concubine Rebirth: Your Highness, I am sick

Chapter 130 Talking about the River
Cui Hailin was only a small official by the Yellow River. After entering Beijing, he saw Wu Yangyang waiting for the debriefing of officials, all of whom were older than him. Cui Hailin was also in a hurry, because the flood in the Yellow River was even more urgent—it would have to wait until Is the year of the monkey going? !
The time I was really looking forward to did not come, and when I was about to lose heart, the oral order to enter the palace suddenly came to me.When I think of my characteristic of stuttering when I'm nervous, oh, no, the shortcoming, Cui Hailin's legs tremble a little...

Just trembling and trembling, Cui Hailin entered the palace.

The eunuch who led him into the palace couldn't help feeling sorry.What a young adult, why is his leg a little lame?
For some reason, Cui Hailin kept thinking about Mr. Yongluo in his mind... Oh, no, Princess Yongrou showed the awe-inspiring expression of Princess Lingshi.

He is not the son, she is Princess Yongrou, thinking of this, Cui Hailin involuntarily touched the tip of his nose, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Master Cui, wait a moment!" A thin and high-pitched voice interrupted Cui Hailin's fugue.

Cui Hailin hurriedly said "I'm sorry", and the eunuch who led the way paused for a while, and went to pass the message.

The towering and majestic Taisho Palace is right in front of you, Dasho Palace?It turned out to be a report at the Taizheng Palace.The legs that had finally stopped trembling felt a little weak.

Looking around, he is not the only one waiting, yes, there is still a line, let's line up.

"Hey, be careful!" a deacon eunuch scolded,

Four young eunuchs passed by carrying some heavy objects, their little faces flushed from suffocation; two other young eunuchs were holding scrolls.

Cui Hailin just glanced at it briefly, but was very envious.Debriefing, especially about flooding, needs vivid images the most. It would be best if there is a sand table and a map.But these two are the treasures of the bosses, he has neither, alas.

After a while, both the deacon eunuch and the young eunuch withdrew.

"Cui Hailin, Supervisor of the Fengzhou River of the Propaganda Department, enters the palace!"

Cui Hailin immediately followed the leading eunuch into the Dazheng Palace.

After finishing shouting Long Live, he was stunned when he saw the things placed in the hall.

Isn't the sand table in the waters of the Yellow River that he had dreamed of?
And the river model?

Wait a minute, there is even a map of the water area?

The emperor looked at him from the dragon seat. This is Cui Hanlin's son.

The Empress Dowager and Empress Yin also came, hiding behind the bead curtain.Empress Yin looked at the young and handsome Cui Hailin, her eyes flicked back and forth between him and Yongrou from time to time.

Yongrou dressed up as a man again, blinking her eyes behind the beaded curtain, unfortunately, Cui Dazi just stared at the sand table, totally oblivious to the universe behind the beaded curtain.Really!

Excited, Cui Hailin strode to the sand table and asked, "I implore your Majesty to let me use these to demonstrate flooding."

The emperor wasn't that willing to listen to it, so what's the point of mobilizing the crowd? Aren't you afraid you can't explain clearly?But the queen mother and queen came here, and said with a big hand: "Sure. But today, you have to explain why the Yellow River is governed every year and disasters occur every year?"

Cui Hailin was able to calm down, and immediately suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and stood in awe: "Your Majesty Qiku, let Weichen demonstrate carefully."

Speaking of governance every year, it actually means building dams where there are no dams, and raising embankments where there are dams.It's completely "headache doctor".

The root cause of the flood in the Yellow River is that due to the dry climate and other reasons in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the forests are reduced every year, and when there is a sudden heavy rain, all the soil, sand and stones are involved in the river.

When the rain is strong, the wind and the waves are big, the sediment flows down the river, and when the rainfall decreases, a large amount of sediment stagnates and accumulates in the river.

Every year, slowly, the riverbed in the middle and lower reaches is raised.When the river bed is raised, the amount of water it can hold is relatively reduced.

This year, there was a sudden heavy rain, and it rained for several months in a row. The amount of water increased greatly, and the flood was extremely serious.Therefore, it is only this year that many counties need to release floods.

Cui Hailin's speech was easy to understand, coupled with the sand table and river model, even the empress dowager and empress who knew nothing about floods could understand it.

The emperor was in a bad mood, reporting on his duties, and every time the debriefers reported problems, and then asked for money, people, and food, no one could come up with a "cure" solution.

Recruiting so many courtiers, but still worrying about everything, worrying about every year, the emperor was very happy, and asked: "It's like this every year, is there a cure?"

Cui Hailin was silent for a moment, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is possible to cure the root cause, but it must be done slowly, and the method can be used together."

"Oh? How did you figure it out slowly? And how do you do it together?" The emperor became a little interested. Usually, people always ask for money before they can think of a way. Finally, it is not easy for someone to say that they will not ask for money.

"Returning to Your Majesty, first let me talk about the imminent. Although Fengzhou is flooded, the pressure on the embankment is still there. If the waters of the Yellow River are cloudy and rainy, there is still a possibility of breaking the embankment, and the possibility is extremely high, so we must continue to move people to release the flood... "Cui Hailin was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Master Cui, do you know how laborious and costly it is to relocate people to discharge the flood?" an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs stood up and questioned.

"Let him finish." The emperor was expressionless.

"Returning to Your Majesty, in previous years, it would have snowed in Henan at this time. But this year, there was no cold wave, and the weather has been so cloudy and wet. It is very likely that it will continue to be cloudy and rainy, because there is a species of wahwa by the Yellow River, which has climbed to a very high level. It's time to go." Cui Hailin said sternly, now is not the time to be afraid, if this continues, more people will be displaced.

"Wah-wah? What is that?" The emperor's thick eyebrows frowned.

"Your Majesty, called Wawa is a kind of frog that lives by the Yellow River. The old river workers know that every year, how much rain falls, and Wawa can climb as high as it wants. This year it climbed especially high... It's amazing."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry, Ying, was also listening, and had long been impatient with Cui Hailin's work report.The purpose of the debriefing is to ask for money. You make a sand table and talk about it for a long time, and you actually let the people relocate. This is a thankless job, and the Ministry of Industry will not do it.

"No matter how it doesn't snow, the weather is almost December. Waiting for a river, there will be no floods. At that time, raising the embankment is the right way to prepare for the coming year."

Cui Hailin was a little angry, and the height increased year by year, so high that the banks of the river were higher than all the counties and counties, becoming a "river on the ground", but he never wanted to cure the root cause.

"My lord, there is a limit to raising the embankment. No matter how perfect the embankment is, there will be weaknesses. As long as the pressure is strong enough, there will always be a part of the embankment that will burst. Why can't we change the passive to the active? We should take the initiative to divert the river water to divert it to a new river channel."

Although Emperor Zhengheng was confused, he was not stupid.Especially as long as Concubine Lin Gui is not in sight, his ability to distinguish right from wrong will be greatly improved.

Cui Hailin is obviously right.

"That...is called wow, right? Continue to observe. Anyway, it won't be flooded in the next few months. You can discuss the matter of relocation slowly."

Cui Hailin excitedly said: "Your Majesty, no!"
