"Dalang, Erlang, your father is not good. I'm measuring, and the river breaks in Yunzhou again." Song Jiu said.

Wang Shenjun and Wang Shenrui were frowning. It was precisely because of this that their father, including Wang Renshan, and others were worried and scared. Song Jiu said again: "I am very disdainful of your father's behavior, but He Jue has nothing to do with your father."

After saying that, he ran towards the palace.

The Wang brothers were puzzled and stood there without moving.

When Song Jiu entered the palace, he not only brought many soil, but also samples of soil taken from all over the country. Zhao Kuangyin met him in the Political Affairs Hall. Dozens of important officials were there, most of them knew him, but they could not call him a name.

Song Jiu started to squeeze mud, first put the map on the ground, and made mud against the map. Different regions used different soil to squeeze out the terrain on both sides of the Yellow River. It took a long time to get the eunuchs to get water, pour it from above, and flow down below. Then he said: "Your Majesty, the Yellow River has a lot of mud and sand. I have measured that a square foot of the river can produce a stone of mud and sand."

Fearing that the ministers did not know the concept of one square meter, they also used a ruler to measure a wooden frame and built a volume of one square meter, which was not very large. Just this volume of the river water contains 100 kilograms of mud and sand. What is the concept of it? But everyone still didn't understand it. Song Jiu said again: "The river water is rising higher and higher, and the people have to artificially raise the river embankment."

After saying that, sprinkle sand into the model's riverbed and then raise the embankment. It is just a small model. When it reaches a certain level, this intuitiveness still makes everyone dizzy. Song Jiu said again: "The higher the river embankment, the more dangerous it is. Often, areas with slightly weak river embankment, the river flood will collapse. This is the reason why the river water has been in trouble many times in recent years. If you want not to have any problems, you can only send officials to measure it when winter is free and thicken the weak areas. But this is Gun's blockade, and there will be more serious things in the end."

Song Jiu began to raise the terrain on both sides of the river embankment again. He said: "Every time there is an accident, the river water depth is three or four emperors, that is, two or three hundred kilograms of soil can be deposited in areas with one emperor. There is one advantage, that is, after the disaster, the weak soil can be improved and the saline and alkali content of many saline and alkali lands can be washed away. After each disaster, the flood area will have a good harvest the following year, and it can even last for decades. This is a temporary benefit, but there is a serious crisis hidden in the middle. Your Majesty, please see. There are many mountains on both sides of the Yellow River from Yunzhou to the east, and it is not easy to collapse. Only Yunzhou to Mengzhou is Ping

The original area has become a disaster-prone area. No matter how the platform is, the river embankment is infinitely raised and the river water cannot be discharged. It will also forcibly wash out the river embankment in some weak areas. The terrain on both sides will be raised every time it is washed out. If all the terrain is raised by a few rulers, it doesn’t matter. It is important to focus on the flooded area. Or the more submerged times, the higher the area is raised, or the areas where the river water is discharged quickly, or the terrain is still very low. Finally, these high places will restrict the river water from leaking smoothly, so it will spontaneously look for the estuary to the lower places. What is the lowest place?"

Use wooden poles as arrows to mark Hebei. Write a few words at the tip, south of Youzhou, the mouth of the Juma River.

There was no fool. Zhao Kuangyin's face changed rapidly and said, "Take it serious?"

"It won't last a hundred years. But it's not scary. I have been riding my horse. I went to the foot of Taihang Mountain and saw the waters in Taihang. They also contain heavy sand, but they are not as good as the Yellow River. Once the Yellow River is diverted and injected into the weak water system of Hebei, plus the water of the Yellow River, Hebei will face a disaster. Then it will rise up quickly. The Yellow River cannot travel smoothly, and then it will find its own way and go south..." Song Jiu put it down with a wooden pole and wrote a word, the Yellow River enters the Huai River and enters the sea from the Jianghuai River.

"There are many plains on both sides of the Huai River and the terrain is even lower. Once the Yellow River leaves, two dozen huge rocks will hit a young lady's head... Of course, it will be fine to reach the Huai River. At worst, there will be nine disasters in the two Huai River in ten years. However, another problem will come with it. Whether the Yellow River enters the sea from Jingdong or Hebei, due to the lack of river irrigation or the erosion of river water gaps, the saline-alkali land can also bring some silt and crops. However, when the Yellow River enters the Huai River, not only will the Huai River plain be more disasters, but the water system between Hebei and Jingdong lacks irrigation water. Another disadvantage follows that the soil gradually weathers, and it also contains heavy sand. Then from the capital city to the sea, there are saline-alkali land everywhere, and half of the radius of tens of thousands of miles to the north will become a barren land."

Zhao Pu said: "Song Jiu, this is not just a joke."

"Gonggong Zhao, who dares to talk about this? Don't believe it, take my data and this statement down, let all officials carefully observe it, see the sand content of the river, the soil composition on both sides of the shore, measure the height, and think carefully."

"Wang Quanbin..."

"Your Majesty, everything Wang Quanbin did in Bashu is not a pity to die a thousand times. According to the law, he should be killed, and he should be killed. Do not use the Yellow River to make excuses. That is no different from the case of the witchcraft of the Han prince. The law emphasizes the truth in facts and requires evidence to make judgments. This is even more so in governing the country. The most important thing is to seek truth from facts. If you do not seek truth, the words will impeach randomly and confuse the public. The powerful ministers will do whatever they want, and they can also find excuses to distinguish themselves. The country is in chaos."

Everyone said nothing. Song Jiu made it clear that if you want to kill Wang Quanbin, it would be enough to rely on his crimes. Don’t use natural disasters to attract them. In fact, this is very important. In the future, Sima Guang would use natural disasters to kill Wang Anshi.

Zhao Kuangyin was satisfied and knew how to deal with Wang Quanbin, but a new question came out. He looked at the model hesitantly and asked, "Song Qing, there is a plan to govern the river."

Changed Song Jiu to Song Qing.

"There is a strategy, but it is not a strategy. Guanzhong has to return farmland to forests, and the Dangxiang people and Tubo people have to return herds to forests to make the Yellow River clear, so that the Yellow River will not become a harm."

"I didn't say it," said Zhao Kuangyi. Don't want Dangxiang and the Tubo people. Guanzhong is still a large warehouse in the Song Dynasty. How can I return farmland to forests? Can the country afford it?

"The second king, so it is not a plan. And the most difficult thing is this," Song Jiu scattered a lot of mud and sand, and began to rush and rush slowly, and said: "Everyone has also seen that if the water is rushing hard, some mud and sand will rush into the sea. If the water is slow, the river water will precipitate a lot of mud and sand, which means that the water cannot be divided. Once the water divides the river water, the sedimentation speed will be faster, and a greater disaster will come. That is, the Yellow River will divert the route... However, the possibility of river breaking up the water will increase."

Everyone was half-believing and half-doubted. But the four words "Differenting the Yellow River" made everyone feel heavy in their faces. It was not artificially changed directions. If the river water changed directions by itself, what areas will it be and how many people will be drowned?

Song Jiu said: "Your Majesty, my mission has been completed, I want to go home."

I saw it, and I also saw it. The reason for the frequent accidents in the river was also found. How to control the river has nothing to do with me.

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand laughed and cried and asked him to go back.

Everyone looked at the model together and stared blankly. Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Can Song Jiu's words come true?"

Who dares to answer?

Zhao Kuangyin rubbed his head and said, "First issue an edict, when the river flood comes, we will patrol frequently, and then send officials to inspect the weak parts of the river embankment, and increase the height and thickness in winter."

After issuing this edict, he rubbed his head again. This edict was the edict that Song Jiu was most worried about, which was Gun's method to control the flood. So he said again: "Zeping, please send someone to come over and put this model in the plate. Put it in the Secretariat, send officials to inspect it, finish it, and then all the officials will work together to see what good strategies are there."

Zhao Kuangyin asked the ministers to retreat, kept Zhao Pu, and asked Zhao Pu: "Zeping. Do you think what to do with Wang Quanbin?"

"But based on the decision of the government, you can kill and stay."

Zhao Pu had already expressed his meaning. He was shouting for killing, but he shouted that he could kill and stay. In fact, he was staying.

"Song Jiu shouted for killing because he started from the fate of the people of Bashu. The ministers shouted for killing because..." Qian Bo Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to say it anymore, and said again: "Ba Shu also encountered misfortune. Killing would not help. On the contrary, the generals later thought that I was Emperor Zhuang of Tang and Wang Quanbin was Guo Chongtao, so they would not do their best for me."

Guo Chongtao is the most powerful general under Li Cunxu. He was the one who offered his advice to the Later Tang attack on Bianzhou for 40 years. The Later Tang fought against Liang and destroyed Liang for eight days. He used this merit as the first meritorious official to be appointed. He gave iron certificates and died ten times. Even if he rebelled, he would not die! So he led an army of 60,000 to attack Former Shu, but it was not long, and he took down Former Shu in 68 days. However, not long after, he was attacked by Li Cong, Xiang Yansi, Ma Yangui and Empress Liu joined forces to frame him and died of a stick. His three sons were killed and his two young sons survived.

The death of Guo Chongtao had a profound influence and even directly led to the demise of the Later Tang Dynasty.

This result is what Zhao Kuangyin least wants to see, but he is also making similar mistakes, but it is not so obvious...

Zhao Kuangyin mentioned Guo Chongtao, and Zhao Pu obviously understood and said, "The official family will be punished slightly."

Zhao Kuangyin recalled the three of them back to the capital and first asked Wang Renshan. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Renshan put all the responsibilities on the generals. Zhao Kuangyin said, "I ask you, Nana Li Tinggui's prostitutes, open Fengdeku to get gold treasures. Did Wang Quanbin and others do it?"

Wang Renshan cannot answer.

"I'll ask you again, you have no fault of killing and capturing prisoners? Are you greedy in Yizhou? When you evaluated Song Jiu with me, you said that this boy is available, but he is lazy and greedy. If you give him power, you may be lazy and may be slacking off. It's better to observe it. I think so. Today, it seems that he is just a lazy boy, and you are too far behind him."

Wang Renshan finally lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I'm wrong."

He was a hero of the Dominic Mansion. He used to be called the official family, but now he has been changed to His Majesty. Zhao Kuangyin said, "You go down first."

Then the Censorate sent the Censorate to investigate Wang Quanbin's corruption figures. Small accounts are not easy to check, and large accounts are easy to check. The Censorate did not announce it. However, some news circulated in the capital, saying that Wang Quanbin had embezzled more than 600,000 yuan in total. This made a group of civil officials crazy. Song Jiu said how much money it was. Then, the entire Song Dynasty's national income was only more than 20 million yuan a year, but it was not scattered by two. In other words, what Wang Quanbin personally embezzled was equivalent to one-twenty parts of the 200 prefectures in the Song Dynasty. Song Jiu said that he could not talk about natural disasters, and the ministers were dissatisfied.

He continued to use natural disasters to request Zhao Kuangyin to kill Wang Quanbin. Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict, but he could not investigate any further. If he investigated again, he would let him go. The ministers could also give up the court and force him to kill Wang Quanbin. The edict said: Wang Quanbin, Wang Renshan, Cui Yanjin and others were held in a fierce manner and went to Quanshu. They feared the power and received money. They sought to send money to Shen'en... They held the country's gates every day, saying that they had hidden gold, silver, zin and jade, and more than 167,000 guan of money. They also opened Fengde Custody without permission, resulting in more than 281,000 guan of money. They ordered the Secretary of the Central Committee to summon people to cross-examine the matter. Quanbin and others were all imprisoned. They ordered the Censorate to gather civil and military officials in the court to discuss their crimes.

It’s not about 660,000 yuan, but about 448,000 yuan.

Where is the money going? You can understand it at a glance. Not to mention small accounts, just to place more than 100,000 yuan in the money for surrendering soldiers. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin gave each of the surrendered soldiers ten thousand yuan, that is, ten thousand yuan, plus the food required along the way. With this money, it was enough to convince the surrendered soldiers to come to the capital. However, less than half of the money sent by Wang Quanbin, and after layers of deduction, some surrendered soldiers were even less than one-quarter or one-fifth of the money. He could not reach the capital at all, so he forced more than 100,000 yuan in the capital to make trouble. Half of this money entered Wang Quanbin's pocket, and this sum alone would reach at least 200,000 yuan. However, the edict did not mention a word, let alone other small accounts.

But there are more than 440,000, which is enough.

The ministers did not know that Zhao Kuangyin had buried him, so they gathered together to discuss Wang Quanbin's death. At this moment, even Zhao Pu did not dare to publicly say that Wang Quanbin was alive. Zhao Kuangyin listened silently, and the old Wang lowered his head sadly. After a long time, Zhao Kuangyin asked everyone to go down together. Then an edict came down, demoting Wang Quanbin, Wang Renshan and Cui Yanjin, and handing over the more than 400,000 yuan of money, treasures and silk that Wang Quanbin embezzled.

In fact, it is not only about 700,000 yuan, but Wang Quanbin doesn't have that much, so he also wants to manage some people. If he says more than 600,000 yuan and asks him to hand it over, it will force Wang Quanbin to commit suicide. If he only pays more than 400,000 yuan, Wang Quanbin can probably still lose tens of thousands of yuan. He will be regarded as rewarding his achievements without considering them.

This is the pit buried by Zhao Kuangyin.

Otherwise, if more than 600,000 pieces are announced, then we have to check if more than 600,000 pieces are there. Where can Lao Wang have it?

The main thing is the money. The money is gone, and the opposition disappears.

Cui Yanjin and Wang Renshan did not investigate. They made little money, but they only earned tens of thousands of dollars. After being demoted, it would be meaningless to investigate again. Moreover, making money from war is still the main driving force of the Song army today.

Old Wang was shocked and asked his two sons to come to thank him. Song Jiu also said he should be killed, but he did not use natural disasters to kill him, otherwise his life would be difficult to protect this time. Song Jiu refused and said, "Dalang, Erlang, if you do all kinds of actions by General Wang, you will still be killed. I am just seeking truth, don't thank me. Our private relationships are private relationships, and official affairs are official affairs."

Maybe Zhao Kuangyin made mistakes and his ideas, but Song Jiu still believes that not killing Wang Quanbin was a serious mistake.

Who is wrong and proves it well, unless Song Jiu has good historical knowledge and kills Wang Quanbin, and compares the two.

Wang Shenjun's face was gloomy and could not have an attack. Compared to those civil officials, Song Jiu was obviously much cute. At this moment, the brothers Pan Weide rushed in and saw Wang Shenjun's brothers. Pan Weide patted Wang Shenjun's shoulder and said, "Don't blame Song Jiu, if there were no Song Jiu, your father would be out of protection this time. Although Your Majesty punished him, if he did not punish him completely, your family would still have more money than mine."

These two bastards are hard to explain. Song Jiujiu is their brother-in-law and will help Song Jiu. The Wang brothers say goodbye.
