Chapter 280

"Mencius once said: one fades and the other fades. The same is true for rivers and lakes. In the dry season, it is indeed the water from lakes and tributaries that flows into rivers. In summer, when the river rises sharply, it will pour back into lakes to regulate river flow and control floods. I'm afraid this is the reason why there are few floods on the Yangtze River, except for the super heavy rain once in a few hundred years, which has the characteristics of Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake The Yangtze River will be free of water, "Merton said in a breath.

Li Shimin suddenly said, "in this way, the reason why the Yellow River generates water is the lack of Lake regulation in the lower reaches. Once the Yellow River has too much water and nowhere to bloom, this is the reason for the flood."

Merton nodded, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Shimin suddenly filled his mouth with bitterness. He would rather not be so wise than so desperate. The riverbed of the Yellow River is too high to form a lake.

The Minister of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty also wanted to understand this, and he couldn't help feeling dejected.

Merton looked at Wang Yushi and said with regret: "we study the books of saints and sages hard to get the supreme truth of life from the books of saints and sages, but we don't know that in addition to these life philosophies, there is such a great truth that water flows to the lower place in heaven and earth."

Wang Yushi immediately choked and blushed. He even confused the simple truth. He said, "the terrain of the Yellow River is too high to have a lake. You're talking nonsense."

Merton glanced at him, snorted coldly, ignored him directly, arched his hands to Li Shimin and said, "when the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, no one can change it. Weichen can be sure that as long as the rainstorm keeps going, the Yellow River will be flooded."

Merton remembered clearly in the history books that in September, there were floods in Henan and Shandong,

Man Chao's civil and military skills suddenly stagnated, and his breathing was suddenly short. He couldn't help looking at the heavy rain outside the window in despair. The rain didn't seem to stop.

"In this case, we can only wait for the disaster to happen," Duan Lun said in despair.

"It's just suffering the people of Henan Province." Li Shimin closed his eyes painfully.

"There's no way?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

"There's no way, but..." before Merton's voice fell, he immediately realized that the murderous spirit was pressing, and his back was cold. He hurriedly said: "since we can't change the fact that there will be a flood, we can change the location of the flood."

"Change the location? You mean to take the initiative to break the dike!" changsun Wuji was surprised and pointed at Merton with a heartache on his face.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were also in an uproar. Looking at Merton unbelievably, he took the initiative to break the embankment of the Yellow River. Even the most heinous people dare not do such a crazy thing.

In history, several people broke the banks of the Yellow River, but none of them was recorded in historical books and left a bad reputation for thousands of years. No one thought that this method came from the mouth of Mozi.

"The Buddha once said: killing one person and saving a hundred people is for the Buddha. Mozi is worthy of concurrently cultivating a hundred schools. Do you want to become a Buddha?" Wang Yushi said sarcastically, but his heart was ecstatic. Mozi! Mojiazi, you finally made a fatal mistake.

Even if Mo Jiazi saved countless people, as long as he sacrificed one person, it will be the biggest stain in his life.

"It's still evil to kill one person to save a thousand people! Every Datang is my people, and I won't take his life for no reason." Li Shimin said proudly. He once had a trace of emotion, but he was soon suppressed by reason.

"Your Majesty is holy!" all the ministers immediately shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, Merton is still young and has no choice. Please forgive him." Qin Qiong said anxiously.

"Morton, quickly admit your mistake to your majesty." Cheng Yaojin also said to help.

Merton looked at a group of courtiers and said helplessly: "Wei Chen means that although there are no lakes on both sides of the Yellow River, there are also many low-lying areas. Your majesty can ban this area as a flood discharge area and prohibit people from living. Once the summer flood season comes, the Yellow River soars and is in danger of breaking the embankment, you will decide to open this section of the Yellow River embankment to drain the flood to the flood discharge area banned by your majesty. In this way, you can ensure the large scale of the Yellow River The embankment will not cause casualties to the people. Isn't it the best of both worlds? "

"Flood discharge area?"

Suddenly everyone was stunned. In this way, the flood discharge area really played the role of a lake temporarily.

"Wonderful! This is really a wonderful method." Duan Lun, the Minister of industry, said excitedly.

"Duan Aiqing, is this really feasible?" Li Shimin asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely feasible. Your majesty, please see, there are many low-lying places on both sides of the Yellow River. If the flood season comes and the Yellow River is in danger of breaking its banks, you can lead the water of the Yellow River here. After the water level of the Yellow River is safe, plug the breach. In this way, there are several lakes on the Yellow River, just like the Yangtze River, to adjust the water level, and the disaster of flood in the Yellow River is certain However, it can be reduced to the lowest, "Duan Lun said excitedly.

The man Dynasty's civil and military forces were in an uproar. This principle is very simple, just like the water in the tank will overflow when it is full. Then take a basin and bring out a basin of water. In this way, you can continue to inject water into the tank.

"It's so simple!" many courtiers muttered to themselves. The truth will be broken as soon as they poke it. However, no one has thought of it since ancient times.

All the officials present at the court looked at the beautiful young man with complex eyes. A little young man even solved the problem that had been trapped in China for thousands of years.

"I said that if the Mohists advocate both love and love, how can they do the innocent sacrifice of others." Cheng Yaojin laughed and looked at Merton more cordial than his own children.

"Mohism!"

Many people sighed that the Mohist way of doing things was really different. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are familiar to Chinese people, but no one has ever connected them, and never thought that the secret to solving the Yellow River flood is on the Yangtze River.

Li Shimin took a deep breath. Without hesitation, he immediately ordered: "hurry up eight hundred miles immediately and send a message to Henan road. Immediately take the Qucun village on the Bank of the Yellow River as the starting point and move all the people hundreds of miles around to a high place. Once the people are transferred, they will burst the dike to discharge the flood."

"Yes!"

Immediately, a palace guard hurried away.

Although there was a solution, I didn't know whether it would be in time. All officials had to pray secretly that the Yellow River levee would be strong.

"What about the people in the flood discharge area? They have lost their homes and are displaced!" Wang Yushi suddenly asked.

Changsun Wuji immediately scolded his pig teammates. In the face of such a severe flood, what is the loss of this part of farmland property?

Merton said without hesitation. Avenue: "The people in the flood discharge area must be relocated in the shortest time. In the future, all flood discharge areas cannot be occupied, which requires the local government to resettle people in this area. However, after the flood, farmland can be developed. I believe that after the flood, the land will be more fertile, but when the flood season comes, all flood discharge areas must be emptied for emergency needs."
