Mohist Tang

“Mencius once said: One goes down and the other grows. The same goes for rivers and lakes. In the dry season, the water from the lakes and tributaries flows into the river, and in the summer, the river soars. At times, it will flow back into the lake, adjust the flow of the river, and control the flood. This is probably the reason why the Yangtze River floods are extremely rare. Unless there is a super heavy rain that occurs in hundreds of years, the Yangtze River with Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake will be worried about Anhydrous. “Mo Dun said in a breath.

Li Shimin suddenly said: “putting it that way, the reason why Yellow River emits water is because of the lack of lake regulation downstream. Once the Yellow River has too much water and nowhere to bloom, this is the flood. Reason.”

Mo Dun nodded and said: “Your Majesty is wise!”

Li Shimin’s mouth was suddenly full of bitterness. He would rather be not so wise than so desperate. The Yellow River bed is too high to form a lake.

The Minister of Entire Court civil and military also wanted to understand this, and he couldn’t help feeling sad.

Mo Dun looked at Imperial Censor Wang, and said with regret: “We study the book of Sage hard, all wanting to get the most of life from the book of Sage, but we dont know that apart from these life philosophies , And between Heaven and Earth, as well as water seeks its own level.”

Imperial Censor Wang’s face turned blushing suddenly, and he even confused the simple truth, dead duck. He insisted: “Yellow River is too high, and it is impossible to have a lake. You are talking nonsense.”

Mo Dun glanced at him, coldly snorted, just ignored him, moved towards Li Shimin and arched his hand. Said: “The water overflows when the water is full, and the moon is full of profits and losses. This is something that no one can change. This small official can say with certainty that as long as this torrential rain continues, Yellow River will definitely be flooded.”

But Mo Dun remembered clearly in the history books that in September, the two places in Shandong Province, Henan were flooded.

Entire Court civil and military suddenly stagnated, breathing quickly, and could not help but look out the window in despair. The heavy rain in crash-bang does not look like it has stopped.

“In this way, we can only wait for the disaster to happen.” Duan Lun said desperately.

“It’s just suffering the people of Henan Province.” Li Shimin closed his eyes in pain.

“Is there no way?” Cheng Yaojin asked unwillingly.

“There is no way, but…” Mo Dun said before he finished speaking, he immediately noticed that the murderous aura was pressing, and he quickly said, “Since we cannot change the fact that the flood is about to happen, But it can change the location of the flood.”

“Change the location? You mean to break the bank!” Zhangsun Wuji startled, pointing to Mo Dun with a heartache and trembling face.

Entire Court civil and military was also in an uproar. Looking at Mo Dun in disbelief, he took the initiative to decide the embankment of Yellow River, even if he was the most sinister person, he would not dare to do such a frenzied thing.

There have been several people breaking the Yellow River in history, but none of them are recorded in history books, and no one has thought that this method is actually from the mouth of Mohist Family Son.

“The Buddhist school once said: It is for the Buddha to kill one person and save a hundred people. Mohist Family Son deserves to be a part of Hundred Schools of Thought. Does it want to stand up and become a Buddha?” Imperial Censor Wang sarcastically, in his heart It’s ecstasy, Mohist Family Son! Mohist Family Son, you finally made a fatal mistake.

Even if it is Mohist Family Son, even if it saves countless people, as long as it sacrifices one person, it will be the biggest stain in Mohist Family Son’s life.

“It’s still evil to kill one person to save a thousand people! Every Great Tang is one of our people, and I will not take his life for no reason.” Li Shimin said boldly. He once had So a trace of heartbeat, but it was quickly suppressed by reason.

“All Listens to your Majesty!” All the ministers immediately shouted in unison.

“Your Majesty, Mo Dun is still young and has no choice but to be considerate of Your Majesty.” Qin Qiong said anxiously.

“Mo Dun, quickly confess to Your Majesty.” Cheng Yaojin also said to help.

Mo Dun looked at a crowd of courtiers helpinglessly said: “This small official means that although there are no lakes on both sides of the Yellow River, there are also many low-lying places. Your Majesty can ban this place as As a flood discharge area, people are forbidden to live. Once the summer flood season comes, the Yellow River soars and faces the danger of bursting, then the Yellow River levee in this section will be opened and the flood discharge area closed by Your Majesty will be drained. It can guarantee that the Yellow River embankment will not cause casualties to the people. Isnt it the best of both worlds.”

“Flood release area?”

Everyone was stunned, putting it that way, This flood discharge area did temporarily act as a lake.

“Wonderful! This is really a wonderful way.” Ministry of Works High Official Duan Lun said excitedly.

“Minister, is this method really feasible?” Li Shimin asked hurriedly.

“Your Majesty, this is absolutely feasible. Please look at Your Majesty. There are many low-lying areas on both sides of the Yellow River. If the flood season is approaching, the Yellow River is in danger of breaking its banks. The water is drawn here, and after the water level of the Yellow River is safe, the breach is blocked. As a result, as in the Yellow River, just like the Yangtze River, there are several lakes to adjust the water level, and the flood disaster in the Yellow River can definitely be minimized. “Duan Lun said excitedly.

Entire Court civil and military was suddenly in an uproar. The reason is very simple. Just as the water in the tank will overflow when it is full, then take a basin and bring out a basin of water. Isnt this a tank? You can continue to inject water.

“It’s so simple!” Many courtiers murmured to themselves, and the truth was broken with a poke, but since ancient times, no one has thought of it.

The numerous officials of the Imperial court present all looked at this delicate and pretty teenager with complex eyes. A small teenager actually solved the problem that had been trapped in China for thousands of years.

“I said, Mo Patriarch Zhang Jian loves each other, how can he do innocent sacrifices to others.” Cheng Yaojin haha said with a smile, looked towards Mo Dun, he was even more kind than his own child .

“Mohist Family!”

Many people sigh in their hearts that the Mohist Family’s approach is really different. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are big rivers familiar to Chinese children, but no one has ever connected the two. It never thought that the secret to solving the Yellow River flood lies on the Yangtze River.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and did not hesitate at the moment, and immediately ordered: “I will expedite 800 li immediately and send a message to Henan Road. Immediately use Qucun on the bank of the Yellow River as a starting point to bring the people around the hundred miles away All moved to a high place, and once the transfer of the people was completed, the embankment broke and the flood was released.”

“Yes!”

Immediately, the palace guards hurried away.

Although there is a solution, but I dont know if it will be possible. Numerous officials have to secretly pray that the Yellow River embankment can stand firm.

“What about the people in the flood discharge area? They have lost their homes and are displaced!” Imperial Censor Wang suddenly asked.

Zhangsun Wuji immediately scolded pig teammate. In the face of such a severe flood, what is the loss of this part of the farmland property?

Mo Dun did not hesitantly said. Said: “The people in the flood discharge area must move in the shortest time. In the future, all flood discharge areas cannot live in people. This requires the local government to relocate people in this area. However, after the flood, farmland can be developed. I believe that after the flood, This piece of land will be more fertile, but when the flood season comes, all flood discharge areas must be emptied of all people for emergencies…”
