"That's not good to say Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang..."

"How to say it, just like Wangjiazhai was very poor in the past, and everyone had conflicts, but many of them helped each other, such as the money they carried on mules was distributed together. However, later Taoxi sword came out, and this distribution method was not possible. When they became rich, there were more conflicts. Or in some poor and closed mountainous areas, there were still such communist living in a form of shared form. The gap between the rich and the poor was not big, and they were backward in understanding, and they were more ignorant."

"Then Dayu..."

"Your Majesty, don't tease me. Dayu may have this person, but it is definitely not that magical. Most of them are active in the Heluo area. The specific one is not credible. I only say one thing. Now it is only 1,700 years away from the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Do you know the specific history of the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty? At that time, words have gradually appeared. Then I would like to ask Your Majesty again. When Sima Qian wrote the Records of the Grand Historian, it was almost two thousand years before Dayu's era. How did he know? Is there any words at that time? Isn't it still listening to the legends of the people? Can legends be regarded as historical facts?"

"You mean humans are progressing..."

"It is, we stand on the shoulders of giants."

"Please make it clear."

"I will make a simple metaphor, and then a metaphor for porcelain. With the porcelain technology of the Tang Dynasty and improving this technology, we will have porcelain from our dynasty. The porcelain of the Tang Dynasty is the shoulders of giants. Several years later, we became the shoulders of giants in the future generations."

Don’t look at this short sentence, it had a great impact on Zhao Xu.

"I'd better talk about the serious business, that is, humans are relatively backward and ignorant. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send an envoy to ask the seamen who have been to Galiji, Zhongli, and Kunlun periods (Somali, Ethiopia). They should know where the situation is."

Wang Ju never asked. But Wang Ju asked Ge Shaohua to go to Guangzhou Maritime Service to ask. Then Ge Shaohua wrote a letter to convey the news he heard.

To be precise, the scope of activities of the Song Dynasty's maritime businessmen is very wide now, and some have moved to the area of ​​Java, which is only one step away from Oceania.

"So what do you mean by this?"

"The continent south of Daqin is too far away, but many island countries on the sea are vast, many areas are backward in civilization and sparse in population. If one day, I will transfer the people there to solve the population expansion crisis. What attitude will Your Majesty take?"

​​"This is really overseas." Zhao Xu was shocked.

"Not bad, but their combined area is much larger than that of the Song Dynasty, and may be five times six times."

“But overseas.”

"Your Majesty, as long as our dynasty does not have a serious crisis, the population will surge to 30 million households in another hundred years. Do you think our dynasty can support 30 million households?"

“There is a lot of risk at sea.”

"There are risks at sea, and there is no danger on the river that day? It is to take charge of the transportation of food and grass, and many soldiers and civilians did not die that year."

Zhao Xu was silent.

"There are risks at sea. But sea boats are much stronger than river boats. This accident rate is not higher than that in the Yangtze River. However, the sea is vast and humans have a natural fear of it."

"No. I have to investigate it clearly."

"No need to investigate. In the future, Your Majesty will transfer me to a certain southern state to serve, and I will preside over it. Your Majesty will see if it is possible?" This is the countermeasure that Wang Ju just came up with. The court in the future is too weird and wise, so it is best not to participate.

"You're going to the south?"

"It's too early, Your Majesty, what qualifications do I have to be the governor now?"

"Haha," Zhao Xu laughed.

But he also neglected that as long as he could agree, Wang Ju could go north and south, and in the next three hundred years, the population of Han people will surge to 100 million households! At that time, the ghosts will not be able to get in at the surrounding areas.

Even five hundred years later, the steps of the Han people would set up the rich and fertile state opposite the sea, and it would no longer be related to the American Empire. At least in the past, the Indians could still survive, rather than almost extinction as they did later.

However, the painting of the mainland king of the world has at least been heard by someone and cannot appear out of thin air.

"Wang Ju, some people read your book and then measured it, saying that the length of the earth was 99,999 miles. Is it a coincidence?"

"Is it really a human being?" Wang Ju was surprised. However, this measurement was nonsense, and the equator was not that long, so let alone the latitude line from Tokyo to Chang'an.

"A scholar named Liu in the capital measured it and then wrote a report to the court. Zeng Gongliang was not sure."

"Just remember it, it's better not to be sure."

"I have summoned you to the palace and I have something to ask about."

"Please give your majesty the decree."

"River Engineering."

"Your Majesty, now there is money to manage rivers?" Wang Ju was frightened. It would not be a trivial matter if he touched the Yellow River.

"I also know that money is tight now, but last year, the Yellow River broke two dams, so we must not ignore it. Let's cure it." Zhao Xu said distressedly.

"Craftsmanship?" Wang Ju said suspiciously.

"Last year, two dams were broken, and the river water was diverted on a small scale..." Zhao Xu became even more distressed.

Since the Yellow River has changed its course more than 20 years ago, it has twisted its huge body on the land of Hebei, changing over and over again, making the Song Dynasty really miserable.

He swallowed and said, "Song Changyan, the Chief of the Dushui Supervisor, suggested starting from the mouth of the Liuta River to restrain the river water, so that the river water can return to the river channel, and make the water flow eastward."

"Return to the old way?" Wang Ju asked in surprise.

"It is not the east flowing in the old way, but the east flowing in the Ergu River."

There are three roads in the Yellow River, one of which is the original old road of the Yellow River, which is the east flow path of the Jia Chang Dynasty, which goes into the sea from Bozhou, Dezhou, Dizhou to Binzhou. Now it has accumulated silt and the people have reclaimed it, and it is almost the Xiaojing River.

In the eighth year of Qingli, the Yellow River was determined by Shanghu Da, Shangzhou, and rushed north to Daming, joined forces with the Wei River, and north to En, Ji and Qianning Army, and directly to the Ma River and entered the sea. This is the current north flow.

During the Jiayou period, the river was determined by the sixth lunar month and became the second ridge, from the eastern part of Daming Prefecture and Enzhou to Dezhou, and from the southern part of Cangzhou to the sea, which was called the east flow.

But this river channel is not the same as the Yellow River danced several times in the middle. Every time I danced, I would move my body. Then countless people's property was exhausted.

What Song Changyan said about the flow of water flowing into the east is the flowing of water flowing from Cangzhou to the sea.

The river canal was raised and Wang Ya said that the Yellow River area traveled northward, passed through the border, and went straight into the water sea. The flow was deep and wide, so the sky was limited to the Khitan. Now it was gradually closed to the north, so there was no benefit of the Yellow River flowing eastward in the boundary river.

So Zhao Xu asked Sima Guang to go down and inspect.

"Your Majesty, wait, the Central River Canal Envoy said that the north flow is deep and wide. So the east flow is not deep and wide?"

"It is said that the east flows narrowly and shallowly."

"Your Majesty, you can have a map."

"If you have it, just put it on the rack," Zhao Xu immediately pulled out the map from the rack. This time he deliberately summoned Wang Ju to the capital, and asking about the river craftsman was one of the main goals. The kapok sam was secondary. Therefore, he had prepared relevant information and prophecies long ago.

Wang Ju lay on the map to watch.

"You can know a lot by looking at the map carefully?" Zhao Xu asked curiously.

This is amazing, but after the cotton incident, it is not enough to not admit it. Especially some officials from Guangdong and Guangxi have begun to promote Shizhongba, and I heard that the effect is really good.

"Why did Your Majesty say this?"

"Didn't you look at the map? No wonder Taizu was able to look at Shu by looking at the map."

I fell.

That time, it was just Zhao Kuangyinmeng's good or not. If he really had this ability, there would be no lucky battle with Wang Ming and Liu Yu. If there was no lucky victory at Wanjiangkou, Cao Bin would be forced to withdraw his troops. He would not have personally won't be able to conquer Taiyuan. It can only be said that Zhao Kuangyin is equivalent to a famous general of Qinling, Li Ji, and Li Shimin. It can even be said that Zhao Kuangyin is better than Pan Mei and can be similar to Chai Rong, but not as good as Li Jing, Han Xin and Wei Qing.

Of course, I can't say this: "How can I compare with Taizu? For example, in the battle between Taizu, 5,000 and 100,000 Southern Tang army captured the dangerous city. If I change my ministers, I dare not fight, and I have to conquer the city."

"Taizu's wise and powerful figure, I feel ashamed of being as good as him, so I often think of Taizu. I have been named Zhao Congshi, a descendant of Taizu, as the prince of Anding County, a few days ago."

"This is OK, but it cannot be a king, and there cannot be any other overcoming measures. Politics is a butcher knife that cannot be seen by the naked eye, but it is very cruel. All the past has long become clouds and miserable. If it is taken advantage of by someone who is interested, Your Majesty will not praise the descendants of Taizu, but will kill the descendants of Taizu."

"Hey, you actually have the same statement with Han Qi, Liu Yan."

"Isn't that right?" Wang Ju continued to lie on the map and said lightly. He did not take this matter seriously at all, but thought about the Yellow River.

Zhao Xu is going to fall, too.

It’s okay if I’m not as good as Han Qi, isn’t even as good as the person in front of me?

He suddenly realized. For example, he obeyed Sima Guang's words and granted Wang Ju the title of the judge of the Three Sessions, and Wang Ju decisively refused. After a long time, his mother realized and praised him immediately. Not only did his mother praise him, but Wang Gui also praised Wang Ju for knowing how to advance and retreat, and not seeking merits, which is a material that can be made.

No wonder when talking before, Wang Ju said that Pang Ji did not act as a Privy Councilor for Di Qing, because of love, not jealousy. However, after Di Qing refused to listen, Pang Ji was furious and ignored him.

This is politics, a knife that kills people without blood.

But he couldn't figure it out. Is the treatment of the Song Dynasty not good? Isn't it good for everyone to do something peacefully? Why do you have to be so complicated?

He thought it easy, and even this is not considered politics. Politics is darker, more shameless, bloodier, more cruel, and more ruthless than what Wang Ju said...

There are only two ways to be safe. The first is Zhao Zhen's style. It is not to treat inaction, but to be a very clever way of balancing, trading, and moving...

One is the Manchu style, and candy candy will be given, but when it should be killed, you have to be killed, when it should be brainwashed, and when it should be slaved, you have to be slaved. There were not enough kills in the Ming Dynasty.

But he will know what politics is right away.

Wang Ju didn't take it seriously. The object he was imagining in his heart was Sima Guang, what was that? After looking at it for a while, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Beiliu is absolutely not allowed."

“Why?”

"Not only the Wei River, there are too many waters coming down from Taihang Mountain. Zhanghe, Hulu River, Hutuo River, and Qi River run through the north stream together. How can the river not collapse?"

"Can you rush the sand by the river?"

"I don't know, but it's probably difficult. I said that Jishui is different from these rivers. It comes from flat rivers, with stable water flow and few tributaries, which can easily bind the Yellow River. And Jishui is clearer, which is conducive to rushing into the sea. However, these rivers come from various parts of the Taihang Mountains, with fluctuating water, and there are a lot of silt, making the silt faster. And it's not what Wanghe Canal said, as a natural danger. Once you choose to flow northward, after a few floods, the northeastern Hebei region will quickly raise the silt and accumulate, and the swamps and lakes will disappear together, which will help the rolling cavalry to move south. It is even more unfavorable to our dynasty in military terms."

"What about Dongliu?"

"What is the court planning to do when it flows eastward and falls in a shallow way?"

"The north current gradually confines the river, uses the river to wash the depth and wide, and then uses manual dredging."

"Without the protection of the burrow, your Majesty, is it necessary to rush the sand to the deep and wide, or to rush the river embankment?"

"What's the meaning?"

"If that happens, in a few years, no, as long as the north flowing water is closed and the main stream of the Yellow River enters the east flowing water, the river embankment will inevitably collapse again within a year. Unless Hebei is drought like last year. Neither strategy can work!"
