Section 670 Choice (1)(2/2)
It’s just that Wang Jing systematically and theorized it.
Of course, there is actually another idea for river management, that is, the strategy of binding water and attacking sand in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
However, the more modern the method, the better.
There are many reasons why the Ming and Qing dynasties could only choose to conquer water and attack sand.
First of all, the population is too large, and it is impossible to expand the river channel like Wang Jing.
Moreover, the silt content of the Yellow River at that time had already exceeded the sky. It would be too expensive to try to increase the river channel and use the power of nature to control the river!
The main reason is economical.
At that time, the basic foundation of Wang Jing's theory no longer existed.
Because the Yellow River channel at that time had been diverted more than twenty times, and the downstream estuary was basically no major river channel.
More importantly, the Yellow River at that time lost the flood discharge area.
It cannot break north, because there is a canal to the north. Once the break north is done, the people of Beijing will go hungry.
It is even more impossible to break through the south, Fengyang is in the south!
Zhu Yuanzhang was lying there, who dared to let Taizu be flooded by the river?
Therefore, you can only use the water to attack the sand and raise the soup to stop the boiling!
Facts have also proved that this method only delays the power of the Yellow River, but it will eventually occur.
Just like before Dayu controlled the flood, his father used blockage to solve the flood. How could this be successful?
The power of nature will only accumulate more and more, not the other way around!
And now, although the Yellow River rushes out of the Tunshi River and enters the sea from the Bohai Sea.
However, the old way still exists and still plays a role. In some years, it flows eastward from the Tunshi River, in some years it flows northward from the old way, and even enters the sea from two rivers at the same time.
The estuaries of these two rivers are still wide, enough to send the Yellow River water into the sea as soon as possible!
Therefore, you only need to widen the river channel, consolidate the embankment, and maintain good water and soil upstream, at least it can be like the king's scenery, making the Yellow River quiet for a thousand years!
It can prevent the Yellow River from being troubled for a thousand years!
What a great achievement and a great cause!
Of course, Zhang Yue knew that he would not become fat in one bite.
At present, there is no basis for a large-scale river management project like Wang Jing.
There is no such urgent need either!
Therefore, first experiments were conducted in the Yellow River section of Qingzhou, and then the results were achieved, and then promoted to the entire river section.
Of course, in order to lay the groundwork for expanding the river management project in the future, Zhang Yue respectfully said to the emperor after talking about his "original (copy) and creation (raid)" river management strategy: "Because many canal projects have huge power and a far-reaching impact, I think Your Majesty should build a temple, use important officials to control it, take charge of all the projects, and the Governor is responsible for all the responsibilities, and is directly responsible to Your Majesty..."
This is also natural!
These projects proposed by Zhang Yue are so huge.
If you pick it up alone, it is all about the size of Zheng Baiqu Longshouqu.
All of them together have far exceeded the total number of projects combined with the Zheng Que, Ling Que, Wei Que, Hangou, and Hangou of Wu.
The only thing that can be compared with it is probably the legendary Dayu who controls the flood!
The emperor listened, but fell into deep thought.
And the court officials were all ready to move.
Especially those who are the nine ministers, such as King Mang, Zong Zhengqing Liu Quqiu, and Taichangqing Shangqiu, are all ready to move.
Even Huo Guang and Zhang Anshi were full of glory and looked very expectant.
It was almost like he was cute and slutty in front of the emperor and shouted that he would choose me!
There is no way, Zhang Yue has done all the hard work and difficult things.
There are also plans, ideas and policies.
As long as the person who goes there is not a pig, as long as he is more serious and manages the lower part well, he has certain skills. This is almost like lying down and waiting for political achievements to fall from the sky.
Not to mention the other side, the Yuechi project in Yangzhou can achieve results in one year. A typical short flat block!
Even the initial gap of 2.0 in the construction period can be seen in just three to five years!
Can you have better political achievements than this?
But the emperor thought more profound than the court officials.
There is no problem with the projects proposed by Zhang Yue, appointing an important official to be responsible for one.
But, if it all adds up, there is a problem.
Because, this is a super project comparable to Dayu's flood control.
What did Dayu come up with after the flood control last time? The history books are clearly written.
so……
In fact, the candidate for the minister who is responsible for all river management and canal affairs can only be chosen among his direct descendants.
To be precise, you can only choose from the crown prince Liu Ju or the eldest grandson Liu Jin.
No one else can do it!
