Sitting upright on the throne, the emperor looked at everything in front of him with great interest.

Then he stood up slightly and said, "Since all the ministers think that Zhang Zizhong is very good at discussing this, the matter of leading Huai into Bian, Luo into Bian and Yuechi surrounded the water!"

The ministers immediately bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty is not inferior to you, I am pleased to be ordered by the emperor!"

Zhang Yue's heart was already very happy and could not suppress himself at this moment.

Why?

Because the Han Dynasty was the second most promised empire among the ancient feudal dynasties after the Qin Empire!

The people promise a lot, and the scholars and officials can abandon everything for a promise!

As for the country?

That's really a very contractual spirit!

The compliance with the contract has even been engraved into the bone marrow.

When Emperor Gao Liu Bang made three rules with the elders of Guanzhong, even now, even before the demise of the Western Han Dynasty, it was an iron rule!

So, in the Han Book and the Records of the Grand Historian, the relatives of the Marquis who were killed and dismissed because of hurting and killing people appeared.

Thus, the Western Han Dynasty version of the "Private Realm is Holy and Inviolable".

All have obtained permission to have unlimited self-defense rights in their homes and other mobile facilities representing their own residences, such as cars and horses, and ships!

If anyone dares to invade, then 'it's okay to kill it on the spot'.

This tradition was even inherited by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

As for the fact that many people criticized Liu Bang for destroying bridges across the river and "massacrificed" heroes after he succeeded.

That's also very credible!

The evidence is that almost all the great emperors who lost their country were all guilty of treason, chaos, disrespect, cruelty and other crimes.

Even when Empress Lu killed Han Xin, Xiao He tricked him into the palace, locked him up in the violent room, and killed him with bamboo sticks!

Why?

Because Liu Bang once personally promised Han Xin: If the heaven does not kill, the king will not kill, and the iron will not kill.

Therefore, Empress Lu and Xiao He had to go around so much.

He tricked him into the palace, put him in the cage of the hanging room of the violent room, covered it with a white cloth, hung it up, then sharpened the bamboo, and sent the palace maids to hold it forward and stab him to death!

In this way, Han Xin was in a state of no heaven or earth, and he died of the palace maids killing him with bamboo sticks. Even the order was issued by Empress Lu himself!

Perfectly avoid and avoid problems that may damage Liu Bang's credibility.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty especially liked to tell stories.

This ‘story’ certainly does not refer to legends, but an example that once did happen and exists in the political life of the country.

Whenever there is something, the emperor decides to do something, he needs to ask the Censor or the Shangshu to quote the "story" of these ancestors as a legal basis.

This is roughly similar to Midi's example.

Because there have been such a thing before, it can now be cited as a basis for trials and judgments or for the formulation of certain policies.

And the "story" of these late emperors of all dynasties is like the constitutional amendment of Emperor Mi.

The late Tingwei, the Censor, and Du Zhou vividly described this special system of the Han Dynasty.

He said: How can the three-foot law be there? What the previous lord wrote is the law, and what the later lord wrote is the command!

The Han Dynasty is based on the environment of modification and improvement of generations of kings.

Every modification is like a brand new interpretation.

And now, it is the beginning of a new "story" and the birth of a new policy similar to the constitution.

In the future, if such things happen, there will be a basis.

Just like Zhang Yue wanted to quote Emperor Gao’s teachings and Shang Jun’s cultivation methods.

In the future, if you carry out large-scale infrastructure construction, you must start from the basis of this policy.

Unless, today or a future emperor is determined to abolish this system, but to do this, it is not only necessary for the emperor to make up his mind, but also to be recognized by the ministers through the form of a grand court discussion, just like today!

For Zhang Yue, this is success!

Successfully changed the world!

Although this is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go!

Taking a deep breath and calming down, Zhang Yue stood up with the court officials.

At this time, the morning sun was rising, and the morning mist in the morning poured into the Xuanshi Hall along with the sunlight.

Fortunately, there were enough bonfire braziers inside and outside the Xuanshi Hall.

The burning brazier always keeps the temperature in the hall at an appropriate twenty-four or five degrees Celsius.

Therefore, although the frost outside has condensed, the temple is still warm and comfortable.

The emperor looked at the ministers in the court and said to Zhang Yue: "You should have imagined more than just these two projects?"

"Your Majesty is not better than the Holy Majesty!" Zhang Yue stepped forward and bowed.

"Then you continue..." The emperor waved his hand with great satisfaction.

The Yuechi Lake-building project can consolidate and strengthen the rule of the Han Dynasty in Yangzhou, especially Kuaiji, and perhaps even disintegrate the thought of King Xiang of Wu, which has existed for a long time in the hearts of the locals. As the emperor, he certainly knew that there were many sluggish rules in the Yangzhou area, and he still believed that he was a remnant of King Liu Bi of Wu or King Xiang Yu of Chu.

These slags do not pay any loyalty to Chang'an, nor do they recognize the Emperor Chang'an.

But now, once the Yuechi project is completed, the real benefits and benefits can easily win over a large number of people and make the rule of Liu deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

As for the enhanced version of Gundou 2.0, it is even more of a killer weapon!

It can not only appease Xuzhou, but also win over the nobles and scholars of Sanhe. More importantly, it can also benefit the country and the people, save a lot of expenses, and create a large amount of land to appease people's hearts.

It's simply perfect!

Therefore, the emperor is now looking forward to what project Zhang Yue will propose next?

However, Zhang Yue stood up, walked to the sand table, looked at the part of Qingzhou, pondered for a moment, and then said: "From the Yellow River's mouth, the river flowed eastward, ravaging Qingzhou, especially the Juyeze area, the lake surface expanded more than twice, and the silt deposits seriously affected the environment in Qingzhou!"

"In addition, in the second year of Yuanfeng, the river broke into Guantao and washed out the Tunshi River. It entered Bohai County in the east. Therefore, the water flowed to the southeast and went down with the trend, which was less harmful, so the country did not organize a blockade..."

"However, I think the Tunshi River flows eastward, which is very harmful!"

"Why, because the silt and sand of the Yellow River are increasing, and the Tunshi River is in its lower reaches. The silt and sand will definitely destroy the river channel. The Tunshi River washes the river and there are no embankments on both sides. Once the silt and sand are deposited more and more, I am afraid that it will break again!"

"Especially the counties and states of Jizhou and Qingzhou will probably suffer a lot in the future!"

Facts decades later proved Zhang Yue's inference.

The mud and sand of the Yellow River continue to silt, forming impact plains one by one. In the end, the power of nature and the heavy rain combined, making this mother river extremely fierce!

For the Han Dynasty, the only good news is that the current silt and sand content of the Yellow River is not as exaggerated as later generations.

The water and soil of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, especially the Jiuyuan, Shuofang and Hexi counties, are now well maintained.

Therefore, the Yellow River does not yet have the ability to create hanging rivers.

Therefore, it is relatively simple to manage.

For example, when King Jing of the Eastern Han Dynasty ruled the river, the Yellow River was quiet for eight hundred years, and it did not erupt again until the Song Dynasty.

"My idea is to first dig a canal from Juyeze to the north and connect to the Yellow River!" Zhang Yue pointed to the location of Juyeze in Qingzhou and said: "This canal needs to dig out more than 300 miles of land. However, once completed, the connection between the Jishui River in Qingzhou and the Yellow River will be opened. Qingzhou products can reach the Central Plains of Yanzhao through this!"

This canal, in later generations, had a name called Heng Gongdu.

It was built during the Northern and Southern Dynasties during the Hengwen Northern Expedition.

It played an important role in Liu Yu's northern expedition to the Central Plains after Constant Temperature and Relief!

Nowadays, once this canal is chiseled, it can immediately perform miraculous results.

The ties between Qi County, Jinan County, Jiaodong and Zibo in Qingzhou will be strengthened immediately!

It is equivalent to a highway built between Handan and Linzi, which strengthens the relationship between each other.

Of course, there are many benefits for Qingzhou.

Not to mention, because building a canal brings benefits to the development of Juyezawa!

In fact, the Yellow River breaks its mouth, but it also creates some benefits.

Especially in Juyeze, because the Yellow River mud and sand pour in, a large amount of Yellow River silt has been deposited in Juyeze for decades. As a result, nature has created a fertile land that can be reclaimed and fertile, which will continue to expand in the next few hundred years, and will eventually form Juye, illusion, Huncheng and other places in later Shandong.

Now, if this canal is built in advance, it will not only speed up this historical process, but also obtain a large area of ​​waste land. Conservatively estimated that at least 30,000 households can be resettled!

"In response to the Yellow River flood, I plan to renovate the river embankment and rebuild river defense in Qingzhou!"

"The main strategy is to expand the river channel, increase the embankment, and build a water dike!"

Zhang Yue then copied the experience and experience of Wang Jing's governance of the Yellow River in history and explained his own theory.

It is to widen the river channel and use the power of nature to flush out the silted silt and protect the river embankment. At the same time, it is also proposed to divert multiple times at the estuary of the lower reaches of the Yellow River to increase the speed and hydraulic power of the Yellow River water entering the sea.

This is also the main idea and idea of ​​river management since ancient times.
