Chapter 352: Officials of the Frontier(2/3)
"I studied the river management books of the past dynasties and compiled the records of the Yellow River's water flow in our dynasty. I left Beijing three times and went to both sides of the Yellow River. I know that there are five or six silts in a bucket of water in the Yellow River. If it is autumn, there will be only half of the water in the Yellow River.
Dou Er.
The Yellow River goes down from Sanmenxia to Mengjin County (near Xiaolangdi). After that, the terrain is flat. The Yellow River is no longer restricted by mountains and rivers, and the water flow slows down. The sediment in the river will naturally accumulate over time, and the river bed will continue to rise.
Damming the river channel restricts the water of the Yellow River, and artificially increases the speed of the Yellow River water flow, which in turn washes away the river bed and deposits sediment, so that the river channel no longer rises.
Build large embankments on both sides of the river, and build string embankments, moon embankments, grid embankments, and remote embankments according to local conditions.
The embankment is built next to the river and complements the dam. It restricts the water of the Yellow River and washes away the river bed and deposits sediment.
After the strand embankment, build the moon embankment where it is easy to break, and protect the strand embankment in front. After the strand embankment, build check embankments on both sides of the moon embankment. If another flood breaks out, the disaster will be limited to the gap between the check embankments and cannot be affected by crises.

After the Lu dike, the Moon dike, and the Ge dike, there is the Yao dike. Divided by land, it is twenty or thirty miles away as far as the Lu dike. This dike is the highest and thickest. If there is a hundred-year flood, early warning is given, and subjects like Yao dike can evacuate.
Beyond the embankment.

For example, in the case of remote embankments, the river basin is tens of miles across both sides, and the first three embankments are slow. It is a century-old flood. The water must be weak before the distant embankments, making it difficult to breach the embankments.
When the river water recedes and the people move back, although there will be a loss of money, the court only needs a little money and food relief to restore the people. Then, repair the broken embankments, moon embankments, and check embankments."
At this point, Pan Deshan has almost exhausted all his accumulation.
This time he swallowed three cups of tea before he felt his mouth was no longer so dry.
Afterwards, he waited anxiously for the emperor's grandson's decision.
The four dams were finally initially formed after Pan Deshan summarized the work of his predecessors and deduced the current situation of the Yellow River countless times.
In fact, from a selfish point of view, Pan Deshan doesn't know whether his method is effective.
He has even written these methods in family letters as the foundation of family heirlooms.
If you cannot practice it yourself, let future generations practice it.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the cabin.
Pan Deshan couldn't help but look back.
It was someone who brought today’s lunch from the shore.
Later, Pan Deshan saw the manager of Taisun's Mansion stopping the people who were bringing lunch and opening the food boxes one by one.
Yu Tian raised his eyebrows and asked the people who brought them: "Have they all been used?"
"When I went back to the prison, I tried everything and waited for a quarter of an hour."
Yutian nodded, then took out a long wooden box from his sleeve, took out a silver needle, and inserted it into today's meals one by one.
Then, he took out another taiko, thinking that he was quick, took a little of each dish, put it into the spoon, and put it into his belly.
After all these things were done, Yutian stopped and waited for a while.
Finally, he waved his hand: "Have a meal, light the stove to heat it up."
At this time, the person who delivered the meal delivered various meals to the emperor's grandson, and brought some stoves from the side to warm the meals again.
Taisun seems to be very careful.
Pan Deshan had some weighing in his mind.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Pan Deshan and smiled slightly: "Originally I didn't want to do this, but the dog slave Yu Tian said that now the Yellow River floods, the six prefectures are in disaster, no one knows.
He knows what will happen down there, so it’s best to be careful. I can’t defeat him alone, so I can only eat scraps every day..."
Pan Deshan laughed along with him, saying this was a joke.
He whispered: "It's better to be careful in everything. Your grandson is a rich man and the successor of the clan and the country. It's best to be careful in everything."
Zhu Yunxi hummed self-deprecatingly, quickly picked up the bowl, and pointed at the dishes on the table: "Eat, let's talk while eating."
Pan Deshan was also quick to pick up the bowl, but when his grandson put the food into his mouth, he would pick up the dish and bring it to his mouth.
The two of them ate half a bowl of rice in silence.
Zhu Yunxi coughed lightly.
Pan Deshan immediately put down the bowl.
Looking at the appearance of the doctor from the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but shook his head.
Don’t mention the rules again.
Zhu Yunxi said: "Your method, I just thought about it, is probably feasible. Although the cost is as you said, it will require the court to spend tens of millions within ten years and millions of subjects to work, but this is the cost of the whole country.
This is how things should be.”….
Pan Deshan could only nod his head.
Zhu Yunxi said again: "If we want to control the river, we have to deal with the floods in the six prefectures this time and clarify the three things of the subjects. We must start to do it. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. If it is delayed for a while, it can be delayed for a lifetime.
,When will the water of the Yellow River under our Ming Dynasty be clear?"
Pan Deshan still nodded.
Zhu Yunxi continued: "If you want to control the river and consider the court alone, you can take charge of this matter. The Yellow River involves Henan, Shandong, and Zhili three prefectures and counties. There must be someone who holds the king's order and the emperor's sword.
..."
Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment and looked up at Pan Deshan.
Pan Deshan is still nodding.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "If you are in charge of managing the river, I would like to swear here today that you will control the river in this life. If the Yellow River is not peaceful for a day, you will never leave the river.
Gu Ke will let you wear the red robe of the crane, carry the emperor's sword, be the governor of Huanghuai water affairs, and also be the censor of the capital procuratorate. The prefectures and counties along the three roads are all under you, the three governors, the governor, the governor, and the governor.
The constitution is all controlled by you."
Pan Deshan was shocked.
The feudal official!
The real frontier official!
As long as I take an oath to express my position now, I, Pan Deshan, can become the first frontier official with a high position in the 28 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
As long as the Yellow River flows safely, you will be remembered in history, and your merits will be included in palaces and temples.
There is no need to weigh the pros and cons.
Pan Deshan stood up directly, waving his robes with great energy and making a sound, standing in front of the emperor's grandson, raising his arms high, kneeling heavily on the ground, making a posture of prostrating himself to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Pan Deshan, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry's Dushui Qingli Division!"
"Today, in front of the great grandson of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, under a sky full of gods and Buddhas, I would like to make a great wish. One day the Yellow River will not be stable, and one day I will not return home!"
Yutian, the manager of Taisun's Mansion, stood aside, looking at Pan Deshan kneeling in front of His Highness Taisun with a twitching brow, and a smile on his lips.
Take a look.
His Highness is so majestic and majestic, and even with his words, he will devote his whole life to the Yellow River, the imperial court, and the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunxi doesn't feel that he has any power.
If there is one, it is at most just the bonus brought by one's own surname.
Everyone in this world has desires.
Now, I have given Pan De good deeds and fame, and given him the honor of being a frontier official. There is no reason why he would disagree with it when he already has this ambition to control the river.
Just...
Zhu Yunxi suddenly said quietly: "It's just... Gu gave you everything, if there is another trouble in the Yellow River."
"I committed suicide on the Yellow River to apologize! I threw myself into the water of the Yellow River to calm the wrath of the river!"
This is not the time to say nice things to appease people.
Zhu Yunxi made a direct and explicit hint: "If you disobey, the government and the opposition will be pacified without one person committing suicide."
Pande
Shan raised his head and nodded heavily: "I know."
After arriving here, Zhu Yunxi smiled again on his face.
He stood up directly, walked to Pan Deshan, stretched out his hand to help Pan Deshan up, then returned to his position, picked up the bowl again and quickly said: "When you are full, no matter what you do, you must fill your stomach first."
Pan Deshan, who had put all his family's lives on the river water supply, seemed to finally remember what Zhu Yunxi had just said at the beginning, that there was no need to behave in front of him.
Started to take big mouthfuls of food.
Zhu Yunxi slowly finished the remaining half bowl of food, rinsed his mouth with tea and said softly: "Your appointment needs to be postponed. This time, the flood situation in the six prefectures must be dealt with first. During this period, how much do you want to do?"
Walk up and down the river, and leave the two executions to you to repair, as a trial. By the way..."
Pan Deshan showed doubts: "Do you have anything else to tell me?"
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and shook his head: "It's not a big deal, but if you want to get the job of river management, you need to convince the government and the public. You can only persuade your majesty and the prince to entrust you with the important task, but if the government and the government are dissatisfied,
