"The Ming Dynasty has the confidence!"

Zhu Yunxi's voice was very calm, but everyone who heard it could hear the toughness and determination in it.

Zhu Yunxi also looked at everyone with calm eyes. Although these people were not officials of various ministries in the Ming Dynasty, they were already the backbone of the Ming Dynasty's official system.

How many people will take the position of ministers in various ministries of the Ming Dynasty in the future?

Principles and ideals need to be repeated over and over again before they can be instilled in everyone's head.

The construction of ideas is not something that happens overnight.

Zhu Yunxi never expected that all officials would have the same thoughts as him, or even expect them to be all clean, but at least let these people know what they were going to do, so that they could recognize the reality and honestly not do anything

Things are holding you back.

He looked at the accompanying officials standing in front of him and still spoke in a calm tone.

"As long as the Yellow River can be tamed from overflowing, the cost and labor will be doubled, and Ming Dynasty will have the confidence to carry on!"

"As Pan Qing said, river management is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but is something that is done in the moment and will be accomplished in the future. You may not be able to see it, and I may not be able to see it, but your descendants and my descendants will

All descendants of the Ming Dynasty will surely be able to see it."

Zhu Yunxi walked up to Pan Deshan, reached out and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

The tone gradually became serious.

"The river needs to be repaired! It must be repaired!"

"Without controlling the Yellow River, the Ming Dynasty will never escape the trap of the Central Plains Dynasty's intermittence!"

"This is a matter for one person, but it is also a matter for all your families."

The accompanying official from the Ministry of Revenue flickered his eyes, opened his mouth silently, and finally closed his mouth.

This is not the time for them to speak out their objections.

They are not senior officials of the imperial court and are not qualified to control political discourse.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the accompanying officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs keenly, with the corners of his eyes rarely sinking, and said calmly: "I have tired the country for more than ten years, and made great contributions to the world, ensuring that it will be safe for a hundred years. If the court is short of money and food, I will lead the Ming Dynasty's troops and horses outside.

Come back after grabbing the money and food!"

The accompanying officials from the Ministry of Revenue lowered their heads silently and bent their waists.

No one can find anything to object to the Emperor’s grandson’s words.

In recent years, the emperor's grandson has been doing what he said.

In the past two years, at least 30% of the annual income of the Ministry of Household Affairs has been brought back from outside.

No matter whether it's the Japanese army, Jiaozhi Road or Zhancheng Road.

They are all providing a steady stream of money and food for the Ming Dynasty.

This is a fact and an example of what happened first.

This is irrefutable evidence!

Suddenly, the accompanying officials on the observation deck at the bow of the treasure ship found strangely that their advice to the royal family seemed to be getting less and less.

It’s not that I can’t, it’s that there is nothing to advise.

Most of the problems in the court can ultimately be attributed to financial and taxation issues, and now this issue seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

So much so that now, when the Ming Dynasty says it wants to handle matters involving the expenditure of tens of millions of dollars, it can speak with confidence.

Is this still the Ming Dynasty a few years ago?

The same rhetorical question quietly emerged in everyone's mind...

Pan Deshan's current mood can be described as ups and downs and complicated.

Just when he thought he was about to be entrusted with an important task, the conversation suddenly changed. However, in the blink of an eye, the emperor seemed to have made up his mind to control the river.

But will your method of river control be adopted?

Pan Deshan has no confidence in his heart.

This is not something that Taisun can confirm just by patting himself on the shoulder.

Zhu Yunxi cast a sideways glance at Pan Deshan, who had a complex expression, then smiled slightly and said loudly: "If the Ming Dynasty lasts forever, then my family will last forever. This is both selfish and public.

Everyone, please abide by your responsibilities.

Be less greedy, don’t be a sycophant, and think about the people of Ming Dynasty.

Then the people will be in peace for eternity, your families will continue to grow, and my family will survive."

This has been said to the end and no further explanation is needed.

Zhu Yunxi believed that these people could understand, and the accompanying officials standing in front of him at this moment indeed understood.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered and he said quietly: "Everyone, please take this seriously."

While the officials were still in a daze, Zhu Yunxi had already patted the confused Pan Deshan again.

"I'm tired of Pan Qing today, so let's have a meal with Gu."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi had already turned around the crowd and headed towards the top cabin of the treasure ship.

Pan Deshan's eyes flashed for a moment, and he looked up at the background of the emperor's grandson who had already walked to the stairs on the upper deck.

He knew that his strategy to regulate the river had probably been approved by the emperor's grandson at this time!

During the meal, the emperor's grandson must be given face-to-face instructions and decide on the final strategy to control the river.

Pan Deshan immediately followed suit, trying to pass through the crowd and catch up with the emperor's grandson who had already reached the uppermost cabin.

On the observation deck, the accompanying officials looked at Pan Deshan with complicated expressions.

At this moment, everyone present, regardless of their official rank, silently bowed their hands to Pan Deshan.

Very complex collective behavior.

It’s not just a silent congratulations to Pan Deshan for his eye-catching appearance.

The entire fleet docked next to Sanyi Town in the north of Qinghe County, Huai'an Prefecture.

According to the terrain half a month ago, Qinghe County and Huai'an Fucheng in the south can be regarded as attacking the reaches of the Yellow River and the Huaihe River from the north to the south.

Nowadays, due to flooding in the upper reaches, Hongze Lake has expanded hundreds of miles, and the lake has spread all the way to Sanyi Town.

The fleet docked, firstly to replenish water sources, secondly to stop and make food, and finally to receive news about the disaster from the north and south and any express reports that the imperial court might send.

The top floor of the treasure ship, the cabin with the best view.

Zhu Yunxi had already sat down cross-legged, looking at Pan Deshan who followed him and stood up to bow.

He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Sit down. In fact, Gu is someone who doesn't follow the rules many times. As long as things can be done well."

Pan Deshan nodded, but still maintained the etiquette step by step. When he arrived in front of the eucalyptus, he sat cross-legged in a conservative posture, with his feet hidden under his robe, for fear of losing his courtesy.

Yu Tian brought tea to Pan Deshan at the side, and smiled and whispered: "Mr. Pan, wait a moment, the people below have already gone to get today's lunch."

Pan Deshan nodded, turned sideways and cupped his hands towards Yutian, the chief steward of Taisun Mansion...

Zhu Yunxi took a sip of tea and looked out the window at Baili Hongze Lake.

"How does Pan Langzhong think the situation in Hongze can be solved? After all, the search for Huaihe River from Hongze involves the tombs of my family's ancestors."

Pan Deshan nodded, his brows a little solemn.

The ancestral tombs of the Ming Dynasty were an issue that had to be considered. He had keenly discovered this issue a long time ago when sorting out the relationship between the Yellow River and the Huaihe River.

"Your Highness, the water of the Yellow River is turbid, the water of the Huaihe River is clear, and the water of the flood is shallow. When there is a flood, the water of the Yellow River breaks into the flood, and there will be a situation that overwhelms the Huai River. That is why the flood now expands hundreds of miles, forcing the river to flood.

People walking along the lake endanger the ancestral mausoleum.

And once the Yellow River overflows, the sediment from the upper reaches will flow all the way down, which will definitely block water transportation, and the canal river bed will be silted up with river sand, making it difficult for the court, merchants, and ordinary people to travel. This time His Highness took a boat to go north, and it would be difficult to travel as far as the entrance gate of the town outside Xuzhou City.

On the first day of the new year, you can only walk.

I believe that if we want to sort out the Yellow River and the Huaihe River, we must distinguish the primary and secondary rivers. We divide the Huanghuai River into two rivers, build a dam outside Qinghe County, block the Yellow River from the flood, use the Huai River to fill the flood, and collect the water to flush out the flood.

Yellow, washes away the river sand and merges into the East China Sea."

After Pan Deshan said something, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the emperor's grandson who was deep in thought.

He quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

I have said too much today.

A cup of tea was quickly drank by Pan Deshan

Zili.

Later, Pan Deshancai spoke again: "In fact, to control the Yellow and Huaihe rivers, several dams and gates are needed. Dams and levees need to be built on the surrounding rivers and river banks to restrain the Yellow River, guide the Huaihe River, and use the Huaihe River to flush the Yellow River.

Replenishing water and transporting water."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "This is only a matter between the Yellow and Huai rivers. Let's talk about the upper reaches of the Yellow River. If I were to use your strategy to control the river, what would you do?"

Pan Deshan's expression paused and he said solemnly: "Damming rivers is the top priority!"
