Chapter 44: Killing old friends
Draw Luo River into Bian!
Yan Liben looked at Luo Shui's direction and looked at it intently, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, saying, "As long as it does not affect Si Shui, this proposal is feasible."
Li Yuanai looked at the water net terrain map with a bright look and said, "It will not be affected too much. The source of Sishui is located in the east Heiyu Mountain in Shangyu Village, the west foot of Taipingding Mountain in the southeast. It passes through the seven places of Xintai, Sishui, Qufu, Yanzhou, Zouxian, Jining and Weishan. The river channel under the Luo River only follows the natural law of water going to the lower part, and it flows into Sishui in the form of a tributary, and then flows into the sea. The water source of Sishui is not bad, and the sea does not lack the water of Luo River. But the Bian River has
The influx of Luoshui, a tributary, will perfectly solve the problem of insufficient water resources in the Bianshui River. There is no need to build a dam in this place that is not very water-deficient. Moreover, according to my observation, the flow of ships in the Bianshui River is too large and is not suitable for building dams to store floods. In order to facilitate heavy grain transport ships, it is not a wise choice to create inconvenience for all merchant ships and cargo ships. Lawyer Pei tried his best to make this matter eight out of ten because he wanted to obtain political achievements and get room for promotion."
Yan Liben is knowledgeable, and it is not uncommon for Lawyer Pei to be a person.
Li Yuanai said: "Tomorrow we don't have to go to the Bian River to explore the terrain, we will directly turn to the Luo River for on-site inspection. If there is no objection, we will directly submit a memorial to the court, and local officials from the Dongdu will be responsible for the project of diverting the Luo River into the Bian River."
Li Yuanai didn't realize how far-reaching the impact of this decision was.
Bianzhou controls the throat of Heshuo and the canal transport of Jianghuai.
The Bian River is the first to manage the canal.
This is also one of the reasons why the Song Dynasty established its capital in Kaifeng, Bianzhou.
Since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Kaifeng has become a major throat-controlling Jianghuai River due to the Bian River. When it was extended to the Later Zhou Dynasty, Kaifeng's transportation was more convenient. From the waterways, there were the Bian River leading to a vast area in the south, the Wuzhang River leading to Qilu, the Cai River leading to Chen Caiyingxu, and the canal leading to Jiangnan...
The waterways are well connected, and they are the center of the canal transportation.
The Bian River is connected, and the water transport is connected, and the water transport is connected.
How to manage the Bian River is the top priority in the next few hundred years.
Later, just three hundred years later, Song Yongchen, an official of the Song Dynasty, proposed a plan to govern the Bian River through Luoluo, which was recognized by Song Shenzong and achieved miraculous results.
The smooth transportation of the Northern Song Dynasty made great contributions to the Luo River and Bian.
However, Li Yuanai did not know that there was a saying in later generations that led Luo to Bian, but based on the current situation, he had figured out this policy of governing the Bian River.
This method may not have caused any impact at this moment, but it made the Bian River smooth throughout the year for six hundred years in later generations, and the water transportation was unprecedentedly prosperous.
Bianzhou Prefecture!
Lawyer Pei finished washing up early in the morning and tidied up his clothes under the service of Princess Linhai.
He reached out and stroked his beloved wife's temples and said, "Waiting for my good news, I will convince the King of Shang to build a dam in the Bian River no matter what."
When he was confidently planning to inspect the Bian River with Li Yuanai, the Bianzhou Chief Cen Ru rushed to the door to ask for a meeting and brought a message.
"Governor Pei, it's not good. The King of Shang temporarily changed his attention and said he would not go to inspect the Bian River. He turned north and went to inspect the Luo River."
"What?" Lawyer Pei cried out in disbelief, "Luo Shui, how is that possible?" As he said, he said with a sharp look: "Who told him? Who revealed Jiang Zhiming to the King of Shang?"
It turned out that the luo water into Bian was not first proposed by Li Yuanai.
Lawyer Pei and his old friend Jiang Zhiming had this discussion.
Before the imperial court's order was issued, Lawyer Pei and Jiang Zhiming gathered to drink.
Jiang Zhiming spoke out the method of luring Luo River into Bian when he was drunk.
His original intention was to ask Lawyer Pei to recommend him.
Lawyer Pei was determined to get a piece of the pie, but did not report it in time. Instead, he thought about whether he could mix it up and add to his achievements. However, at this moment, he received news from the above that the Shang King Li Yuanai was about to go south to inspect the canal and select a place to build a sluice dam. Officials from all over the country should cooperate fully and not make any mistakes.
As soon as this order was issued, Lawyer Pei immediately thought about it.
Isn’t it more practical to build a dam on the Bian River than to bringing Luo River into Bian?
Jiang Zhiming had a deep family background. His grandfather Jiang Qing was the senior brother of Yuwen Kai, a great craftsman, who specialized in water conservancy projects. Yuwen Kai was ordered by Yang Guang to dig a canal and personally came to ask his senior brother to come out of the mountain. However, Jiang Qing was suffering from leg disease and was unable to walk at that time, so he recommended his son Jiang Jing.
Jiang Jing is a true master of Jiang Qing, but he is paranoid and incompetent.
When digging the southern section of Yongji Canal, he contradicted Yang Guang.
Yang Guang was very happy with achievements. He dug the canal not only for the purpose of transporting the canal, but also for showing off his achievements. The canal must be wide and deep, enough for him to ride a dragon boat and tour the world. Jiang Jing thought that the southern section of the Yongji Canal was special. If the river was dug too wide and too deep, it would cause silt and sand accumulation and could not be used for a long time.
Before, most people laughed at Jiang Jing for being ungrateful, but now it seems that Jiang Jing has foresight.
After only a few years of traffic, the southern section of Yongji Canal began to be in trouble, and it was blocked year after year. The imperial court dredged and repaired it many times, and it took huge labor and material resources to be ineffective, and it has become a waste of the canal.
Jiang Zhiming has such a family education, and his proposal is likely to be taken seriously.
In case of precautions, Lawyer Pei designed to imprison Jiang Zhiming for the crime of unfilial piety.
In order to achieve this promotion opportunity, Lawyer Pei did not hesitate to assassinate his old friend.
Unexpectedly, even so, he still heard the ominous words of Luo Shui.
Although the Chief Shi Cen Ru did not know the purpose of Li Yuanai going to Luoshui, what is the intention of going to Luoshui at this time? Why should we explain it?
He didn't know what Li Yuanai and Jiang Zhiming saw were similar, and he thought that someone had leaked his news. Seeing that his plan failed, he couldn't help but be furious and threw his sleeves out and went straight to the prison.
Jiang Zhiming was in the prison of Bianzhou and felt sad. He was born in three generations and was good at water control. Unexpectedly, his grandfather suffered from foot disease and could not prove himself. His father also achieved nothing because of his contradicting the previous emperor Yang Guang.
In his generation, Jiang Zhiming was determined to be the grandfather, his father's name, and shine on his family's lintel. He traveled all year round, traveled around the world, and studied it based on his family's experience in water control.
He was too obsessed with research and ignored his mother at home and failed to perform his filial piety in time.
The ancients valued filial piety the most, and the crimes of unfilial piety in the Tang Dynasty were among the ten evil sins.
Jiang Zhiming will face two years in prison.
"Jiang Zhiming!"
Jiang Zhiming suddenly heard someone calling him, looked up and saw that he was his friend. He was happy and said, "Brother Pei, what? Is there good news?"
He had no idea that his old friend designed to send him to prison, and he also hoped that he could save himself from water and fire.
Lawyer Pei said angrily: "I said I would save you, you just need to wait patiently. Why use this method and contact the Shang King to ruin my good deeds?"
