Mohist Tang

“Wear Minister, and immediately prepare money and food to help the people in the flood discharge area!” Li Shimin looked towards Ministry of People High Official Dai Zhou on the side, and said slightly paused solemnly at the same time. Prepare more to prevent the worst from happening.”

The officials were shocked. Of course they knew what the worst was.

“Your Majesty rest assured.” Dai Zhou nodded and said.

Western Regions event, the biggest gain is not Mo Dun, but Ministry of People High Official Dai Zhou, in just a few days, Dai Zhou can be said to be soft in collecting taxes, and he is based on Mo Duns tax system The idea is that heavy taxes are levied on some luxury goods and silk shipped to Western Regions, but I did not expect to receive the slightest resistance, even if the price has nearly doubled, these foreign merchants will all be paid in full without the slightest hesitation.

For the time being, there was a way to overcome the difficulties, and the atmosphere of the entire Imperial Court suddenly became light, even Li Shimin was sighed in relief.

“Mo Virtuous nephew lived up to the expectations of the old man, and sure enough, there was a solution to the flood.” He looked relieved, as if Mo Dun could find a solution to the flood, and it was all his advice.

“Zhangsun yin man, old man, but I heard with my own ears that you are going to give Mo Dun a contributor! Did you forget it so quickly?” Cheng Yaojin ran on the side. Above the entire Imperial Court, as long as he dares to call Zhangsun Wuji like that.

“Cheng Pifu, when did the old man forget? It’s just that those who can do more work? Virtuous nephew has such a talent to learn. If we can solve the sand control together, then the old man will be Virtuous. Nephew, please.” Zhangsun Wuji said.

Sand control! Suddenly everyone was shocked.

To control the Yellow River, we must first control the sand. This is a well-known saying that has spread from ancient times to the present. Even if there is a flood discharge area, it can solve temporary worries. It is also a temporary solution instead of a permanent solution. With the continuous accumulation of sediment in the Yellow River, In the end, even if there is a flood discharge area, the flood may be discharged every year.

Thinking of this, everyone on the scene couldnt help but chill, and couldnt help but focus on Mohist Family Son again. Although Entire Court Important Ministers put their hopes on a teenager, its embarrassing, but after all It’s a big matter, and I can’t care about any face at this time.

“Mo youngster, if you have an idea, just say it. As long as you are right, Zhangsun Wuji will not give you credit, but the old man will do it for you. Cheng Yaojin said with teeth, this matter is very important. , If Mo Dun can solve it, it must be a great achievement. Of course, he did not forget to stabbed Zhangsun Wuji.

“Cheng old fogey, you…” Zhangsun Wuji gritted his teeth suddenly!

“Okay, wait for the two to stop arguing!” Li Shimin angrily said, Cheng Yaojin and Zhangsun Wuji stared at each other before they shut up.

“Mo Dun, just say if you have any attention, even if you make a mistake, no one here will blame you.” Li Shimin encouraged.

Mo Dun nodded, looked all around, clenched the teeth and said: “Everyone knows that my Mohist Family has re-emerged based on the way of Mathematics, and now I will use Mathematics to settle accounts for all of you.”

“As far as I know, the sediment of Yellow River has accumulated year after year, and the downstream riverbed has been exposed to the ground. If the sediment of Yellow River accumulates at least one finger of high sediment at the bottom of the river every five years, then Ten years is the riverbed raising two fingers, a hundred years raising 20 fingers, a thousand years, then two hundred fingers, which is six feet.”

Mo Dun is not an exaggeration, but shrinks a bit. In later generations, the river bed of the Yellow River generally reached five meters, and the more serious one was ten meters, which was called the hanging river.

“In other words, the Yellow River will probably flow over our heads in the future.” Mo Dun pointed to his head and said slowly.

All the ministers present at the scene were heart trembled. The Yellow River like that would be even more awkward, and the damage would be even greater. Moreover, it is a monstrous Engineering Project to reinforce the river because the river rises every year.

“Some people would think, don’t we still have a spillway?” Mo Dun asked rhetorically. “But the river water in the flood discharge area cannot flow out at all and can only be siltated. Therefore, the degree of sedimentation in the flood discharge area will be more serious. One or two times does not matter. If the flood is discharged ten times a hundred times, I am afraid that the sediment in the Yellow River will be discharged. The district is flat, I am afraid that Yellow River will no longer be able to restrain it at that time, and the disaster will be deeper.”

Mo Dun once said that in this world, anyone can deceive you, but Mathematics alone will not. Mo Dun used these cold numbers to tell them a harsh truth.

The minister present is not proficient in Mathematics, but this account can be calculated clearly with his fingers. For a while, everyone can’t help sweating, and the good news of the flood discharge area was swept away. And Sora, they only knew that the Yellow River problem was serious before, but they didn’t expect the situation to be so severe.

Mo Dun said gravely, “Of course some people would say that this is only a few hundred years later, or thousands of years. But if we dont govern the Yellow River at this moment, a few hundred years later, thousands of years later, what we will leave to our children and grandchildren will be a hanging river flowing above our heads, hanging above our heads like a sharp sword. , How will our children and grandchildren treat us at that time.”

All the courtiers suddenly became unnatural and their eyes flickered.

“Mohist Family Son, which one says not to govern the Yellow River, do you have any thoughts, then hurry up.” Even the carefree people like Cheng Yaojin are getting chills in their backs and can’t help but urge. .

“In fact, Mohist Family is not at all the law of water and sand control, but the youngster has vaguely thoughts after getting Socrates’ knowledge.” Mo Dun said.

“Socrates?” The ministers couldn’t help being stunned. They had also read Socrates’ knowledge on Mohist Periodical, but they had never seen any method of controlling water and sand.

“There is one of the most practical methods of Socrates’ pursuit of learning, that is, endless questioning. Then let’s ask the first question, where does the sediment of Yellow River come from. “Mo Dun said slowly.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not that this question is difficult, but too simple.

The sediment of the Yellow River is of course brought by the water. Imperial Censor Wang said grimly, the water is full of sediment, which is a characteristic of every river.

“Where did the water with mud and sand come from? Is the Yellow River as turbid from the source?” Mo Dun continued to ask.

Imperial Censor Wang suddenly concluded. He didn’t know this question. He didn’t know anything except Confucian classics.

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said: “The old man went north to defeat Turkic a few years ago, passed by Jiuyuan County, and once stationed on the edge of the Yellow River, where the water of the Yellow River is still very clear.”

Mo Dun nodded and said: “The water of Yellow River in Jiuyuan County is still very clear, but when it comes to Luoyang, it becomes abnormally turbid, so it seems…”

Mo Dun tone barely fell, and suddenly there was a heavy breath in the Tai Chi Hall.

“The problem lies under our noses!” Li Shimin complexion ashen said. They spent a huge price to manage the Yellow River downstream, but they did not expect that the biggest root was in Guanzhong, but they did not. The slightest discovery.

“It’s dark under the lights!” Qin Qiong also sighed.
