"I'm not looking anymore. Tell me!”
"Good!"
Zhu Yunhao took out a map from his pocket." This is the world's water resources map that Kuai Xiang gave me. It was drawn by Kuai Xiang's father. Although there are some general differences, it is still somewhat usable.”
As expected! Zhu Yunwen was annoyed, trying to make Kuai Xiang help him.
"As for what Second Brother said…"
" Of course, I know that the canal from Zhang Qiu to the Yongding River has burst its banks, but this is only a superficial phenomenon. If I only dug it out, I would be a quack!'
"Treat the symptoms but not the root cause.”
"Therefore, I think we need to be more prudent. After looking up Wang Jingzhi's and Li Daoyuan's Water Classic, I discovered that the most fundamental reason for the canal's blockage is…"
"Yellow River!"
"The canal uses the water of the Yellow River. Because of the soil erosion upstream, the Yellow River's silt accumulates, causing the riverbed to become higher and higher.”
"Therefore, the key to harnessing the canal lies in harnessing the Yellow River!”
Zhu Yuanzhang felt his scalp go numb. Seeing the big picture from the small, the situation had risen.
Zhu Yunwen was dumbfounded…Wasn't it the canal? How did it end up in the Yellow River?
"At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, during the Jingkang rebellion, the Jin army dug up the Yellow River embankment and flooded Kaifeng City, causing the Yellow River to change its course.”
"Many people say that the Yellow River can be harnessed as long as the river channel is widened, but after Kuai Xiang and I studied it, we felt that it was best to do the opposite.”
"We need to use cement to shrink the river. This way, the water flow will speed up.”
"The sand in the river bank will naturally be washed away. This is the method of restraining water to attack sand!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunhao in a daze. It was originally a very simple question, but he was able to play with it.
"Binding water to attack sand?"
Kuai Xiang scratched his head." This plan was proposed by His Highness. I only participated in the discussion.”
Qin Da immediately praised." Your Majesty, this plan is absolutely feasible.”
"Have you already used it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually.
"Previously, when the Xin 'an River burst its banks, I was troubled. At that time, His Highness the Third Prince proposed to restrain the water and attack the sand. After I used it, nothing happened to the Xin' an River again!”
"This plan is the foundation of water control and can be used as a reference for thousands of generations.”
"Is it that exaggerated?" Huang Zicheng retorted. The Yellow River had a large flow rate. If the river channel was reduced, what if the dike burst?”
"That's a catastrophe for all lives!"
Zhu Yunhao nodded." I also thought of this. That's why I didn't tell Grandfather about the method of restraining water and attacking sand at that time. After the cement was successfully developed, the chances of dealing with the Yellow River increased a lot!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him mockingly." If we hadn't raised this question, would you still not know how to answer it?"”
"After all, cement isn't strong. I also know something called reinforced concrete. This thing is amazing!”
"It can withstand the weight of thousands of feet!”
" I plan to get the reinforced concrete out first.'
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
"If we only use cement, what is the success rate?”
"Seventy percent!"
"I've also thought about it. We need to add a second layer of distant dikes and a third layer of moon dikes. If the Yellow River really bursts, the distant dikes and moon dikes can slow down the water flow and turn the tidal flat into fertile farmland.”
"It's the best of both worlds. With that, I have a 90% chance of success!"
Zhu Yuanzhang silently added 10% in his heart."It's enough!"
"Binding water to attack sand…Sure!"
"Our Ministry of Works is so big, but we can't even think as thoroughly as you, Pin 'er!”
Zhu Yunhao interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang." I thought about it later and felt that this was not very comprehensive.”
"The northern section of the canal uses the water of the Yellow River, but the southern section uses the water of the Huai River.”
'What's the use of controlling the Yellow River with water? If the Huai River was destroyed, the canal would also be destroyed! That's why we have to govern the Huai River!
Zhu Yuanzhang:
I just wanted you to build a simple canal back then. Why did you play with such a high-level game?
Zhu Yunwen felt the impact of the other party's attack.
This world was full of malice.
"How do we treat the Huai River?"
"Simple! After Jingkang, the Yellow River seized the Huai River and entered the sea. The Yellow River flowed fast, so it could always break the Huai River levees! We need to reinforce the Huai River embankment with cement!”
Zhu Yuanzhang had learned his lesson.”
"There's more."
I knew it…
"Does Imperial Grandfather know about the Flooding Lake?"
"Of course, when we attacked Zhang Shicheng back then, we passed by the Flooding Lake!”
"The source of the Huai River water is the Hongze Lake water. However, recently, the Hongze Lake has been surrounded by land, causing the water level to continuously drop. Therefore, they should return Hongze Lake to the lake and raise the water level of Hongze Lake by 12 feet. Then, the Huai River would flow faster than the Yellow River. This way, the concrete embankment of the Huai River would be safe.”
Twelve feet tall? You even calculated this?
"The north and south of the canal will be solved. As long as we use the normal water gates to divert water, according to my estimation, there will definitely not be any problems within fifty years!”
"Fifty years?" Zhu Yuanzhang was truly stunned this time.
Kuai Xiang interjected." This humble official thinks that there won't be any problems within a hundred years. His Royal Highness, the Imperial Sun, insists on being more stable. I estimate that it will be fifty years."”
"Shut up!" Zhu Yun cursed.
"Yes, sir."
Zhu Yuanzhang:
In a short while, the layout was so high that it had no boundaries. A water map framed the entire Great Ming Dynasty.
At other times, he was so cautious that it made people go crazy.
Who was the real Pin 'er?
Zhu Yuanzhang was confused.
(Is it stable enough?)
(I'm going to buy clothes tomorrow, so there will probably be fewer updates.)
(It's the new year. There are too many things to do.)
