    "Mr. Liu, you didn't even say a word to me when you came to Kaifeng, so I could take care of you."

    Fei Yuan looked at Liu Jin in front of him. Although Liu Jin was younger than himself, he had to consider himself a student.

    The Liu Jin in front of me no longer wants to work in his fifties. He voluntarily resigned and began to travel around the world. Looking at himself again, he is only a fourth-grade prefect in his sixties. The gap is not as big as usual. Sometimes people are more powerful than others.  Infuriating.

    "I never like these things. Besides, I no longer have an official position. I just come to Kaifeng to have fun."

    Liu Jin smiled and shook his head. Liu Jin didn¡¯t like these things ever since he became an official, and he never did them.

    "You did a good job here in Kaifeng. You actually thought of taking advantage of the drought to dig out the sediment from the Yellow River. Once the sediment is removed from the Yellow River, the Yellow River will not have to worry about bursting its banks for a long time.  ¡±

    Liu Jin looked at the Yellow River in front of him and talked about this matter with Fei Yuan.

    "It's all thanks to your good teachings, my teacher. Students should never forget your teachings and remember to serve as an official for a long time and benefit the country."

    "The Yellow River overflows every year, especially during floods, which is particularly scary because the bed of the Yellow River is several meters higher than both banks. Once the banks break, a large amount of fertile farmland around Kaifeng will be submerged."

    "So in the past, people would be organized to strengthen the river embankments every winter during the slack season. However, this was only a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution, because the sediment content of the Yellow River is very high. After years of accumulation, the river bed is still rising.  , there is still a risk of the embankment bursting."

    "This year we have encountered a super drought that has never happened in a century. There is almost no rain in the northern part of Daming this year. The drought is so extreme that the Yellow River has stopped flowing. So I thought if I could take advantage of the drought to remove the sediment in the river.  Dig it out and lower the riverbed."

    Fei Yuan explained it in detail to Liu Jin like a student.

    "Well, your idea is very good and very practical."

    "This is already a river above ground. It is too high on both sides. It would be too dangerous if the embankment breaks."

    Liu Jin listened carefully and expressed his affirmation to him.

    "Yes, I have read the local chronicles of Kaifeng and Henan. In the past, the Yellow River flooded almost every year and burst its banks every year. It is true to say that it has benefited both sides of the strait, but many times the people on both sides of the strait suffered from the flooding of the Yellow River.  The pain!¡±

    Fei Yuan nodded solemnly, and then continued: "However, since the imperial court began to move a large number of people overseas and outside the customs, the number of flooding and bursting of the Yellow River's banks has become less and less, especially in the past 20 years.  The Yellow River has never burst its banks."

    "Oh, is it so?"

    When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded. Of course Liu Jin knew about this period.

    The reason why the Yellow River floods less now is largely because the ecological environment in the middle and upper reaches, especially the Loess Plateau, has improved a lot.

    In the past, the Loess Plateau area had more people and less land. A large number of forests and vegetation were cut down and destroyed, resulting in serious water and soil erosion whenever the rainy season came.

    When it rains, a large amount of sediment on the Loess Plateau is washed into the Yellow River. On the one hand, this sediment raises the bed of the Yellow River, making the Yellow River more dangerous.

    On the other hand, there is a lack of vegetation and it is impossible to retain rainwater. During this rainy season, the floods are more severe and violent, and naturally it is easy to overflow and break the embankments.

    Later, Liu Jin focused on relocating a large number of people from Shaanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan, especially the population in the Loess Plateau, where almost all of them were relocated.

    The migration of a large number of people has greatly alleviated the contradiction between man and land in the Loess Plateau, giving nature time to recuperate.

    Slowly, the vegetation on the Loess Plateau gradually recovered and became better and better, not only locking in precipitation, but also allowing less and less sediment to rush into the Yellow River.

    Naturally, the Yellow River will become less and less flooded. With less sediment, the river bed will not rise so fast, and the floods will not be so violent.

    Of course, another reason is that the Ming Dynasty has repeatedly overhauled river embankments, reservoirs and other basic water conservancy projects to strengthen the embankments of the Yellow River, making it more resistant to floods.

    Especially the emergence of cement has been of great help to infrastructure construction. It is not only faster to build, but also stronger and stronger.

    These reasons are all due to the Yellow RiverThe birth of human beings made the Yellow River clear.  "

    The other party quickly explained to Liu Jin seriously.

    "Haha, it seems that in a few decades, when the water of the Yellow River becomes clear, our Ming Dynasty will have a saint."

    When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately smiled and said.

    In fact, of course Liu Jin heard that the other party was flattering him.

    "Mr. Liu, you are the sage of the world!"

    Fei Yuan smiled and said to Liu Jin, this flattery was obviously taken at the right time.

    "What kind of sage am I? This is going to break me."

    Liu Jin smiled and shook his head. What kind of sage was he? He was just a time traveler who did some things he wanted to do.

    "It's nothing at all, let alone a sage, and I don't dare to call myself a sage.

    Of course, this is Liu Jin¡¯s own opinion. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, countless people think that Liu Jin is the sage of the world. The Ming Empire can be what it is today, thanks to Liu Jin¡¯s painstaking management and reform.

    If it weren¡¯t for Liu Jin, would Ming Dynasty be as prosperous and strong as it is now?

    That is simply impossible. Everyone knows very well what kind of life we ??lived in the past.
