    Qianqing Palace.

    Sure enough, Pan Jixun¡¯s expression turned cold and he asked, ¡°What kind of advice does Da Sikong have?¡±

    "I can't say I'm brilliant, but I'm not as extreme as you." Zhu Heng said lightly: "Zhao Butang and Weng Zhongcheng didn't say that they would only restore the canal and not build the river, right?"

    "To restore the canal, we can only 'divert the water on the south bank and build embankments on the north bank'. The result will be that the more the water is diverted, the more damage will be done to the Huanghuai River system, making it impossible for the upstream floods to be discharged in time, and the embankments will continue to overflow!" Pan Jixun refused to give in, as usual.  three years ago.

    "That's your fault." Zhu Heng snorted: "While protecting the canal, it does not affect the opening of a new river!"

    With that said, Zhu Butang bowed deeply to Emperor Longqing and announced his countermeasures: "Please open the Yahe River so that the canal can flow directly from Pizhou to the Yellow River. This will avoid the Qingou, Zhuohe River in Xuzhou, and the Xu Hong River."  , the risk of two floods in Luliang! Although it will take several years of labor, there is no need to stop the grain transportation, and after the completion of the project, there will no longer be the worry of water transportation being cut off!"

    Long Qing¡¯s eyes widened when he heard this. Didn¡¯t he think it was about controlling water and protecting canals?  Why open a new river again?

    Then he blurted out and asked: "How much will this cost?"

    "This" Zhu Heng said with a guilty conscience: "It's expensive, but in the long run, it can be done once and for all."

    "I asked you how much it cost?" Long Qing frowned. Usually when a minister answers like this, it must be an unacceptable number.

    "It's about more than two million taels of silver" Zhu Heng replied in a low voice.

    "Uh" Emperor Longqing rolled his eyes, how much money is there in our treasury?  If I were so rich, why haven't I collected the complete set of Plum in the Golden Vase and Porcelain?

    "Is Zhu Butang trying to control the river? Which river are you trying to control?!" Pan Jixun couldn't help but exploded on the spot: "You are trying to open a new river and ignore the Yellow River!"

    Zhu Heng's face turned red when his thoughts were seen, and he argued forcefully: "I am in charge of the Ministry of Works, and I should plan for the world. I can't just care about the Yellow River."

    "The yellow flood area with a radius of thousands of miles is just left there and ignored? Millions of people have been displaced. Seeing that the court has given up on them, are they going to cause civil unrest?!" Pan Jixun said fiercely.  I have to admit that after one year in Kunshan, his combat effectiveness has reached a new level.

    Hearing this, Humong felt that what Pan Pan said made sense, so he pretended that he had not heard what Zhu Heng said, and turned to Pan Jixun and asked: "Pan Qing's family, what are you going to do?"

    "Excuse me. In my humble opinion, the only feasible river management strategy today is to restore the old course of the Yellow River so that it will no longer encroach on the Huaihe River." Pan Jixun then replied loudly: "In this way, the Yellow River and the Huaihe River will each go their own way, and the water flow will  If it is smooth, the canal will naturally not be disturbed, and water transportation will be safe!"

    "Humph! What do you think you can do? It turns out it's a clich¨¦!" Zhu Heng sneered when he heard this, and retorted: "The idea of ??restoring the old path is pure delusion. The Yellow River has changed its course for hundreds of years. Can the old path be restored by human power?  ?¡±

    "I told you three years ago. Dredging hundreds of miles of silted river with manpower is like moving mountains! What's more, if the excavated sand is placed on both sides, it will inevitably cause collapse!" Zhu Butang said expressionlessly.  Pan Jixun said sarcastically: "Moreover, in the river, there is silt under a foot. It sinks as you pick it up, and there is nothing to hold on to. No matter how many people there are, you can't fill it in." Pan Zhongcheng was rendered speechless by the old man at that time.  Have you forgotten it in three years?"

    "I didn't think of a way at that time, but now I have!" Pan Jixun said loudly and tit for tat: "Xiaguan found that to restore the old course of the Yellow River, we should not rely on artificial dredging of the river channel, but should adopt the method of 'high construction'  Embankment, raising water level, increasing water flow' is the right way!"

    The kings and ministers were perked up after hearing this, and they all listened attentively to Pan Jixun's blockbuster move after three years of silence.

    "In the past, the biggest problem of the Yellow River was sedimentation, which could not be dredged manually, causing the river bed to be filled up and the river water to overflow in all directions! Then why can't we use the powerful ability of the Yellow River water to carry sediment to dredge the river channel?  Wash away the sediment?" Pan Jixun became more and more excited as he talked. He excitedly told the monarchs and ministers in the Golden Palace about the new method he had worked hard to come up with:

    "As long as we restrain the main stream of the Yellow River in the river channel and make it concentrated, the river bed will be deepened over time, and the water of the Yellow River will be stabilized and no longer overflow everywhere!"

    After saying that, he held his head high and declared loudly: "I call this method the 'Water Confining Sand Method'!"

    However, the monarchs and ministers in the main hall looked at each other in shock.

    Long Qing wanted to praise him, but he didn't know how to say it.  There was no way, what Pan Pan said was too professional, and Humong couldn't understand it.

    "What does Zhu Butang think of this method?" Li Shoufu, who had been silent, finally asked.

    "Exotic"?Carriage.

    As soon as Pan Jixun got in the car, he found someone else sitting inside.

    Mr. Zhao, who was dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a net scarf, was leaning against the wall of the carriage leisurely and waiting for him while holding a copy of "Extensions of the University".

    "Are you here to see the drowned rat?" Pan Jixun vented his anger on Zhao Hao.

    "I've never seen Zhong Cheng look so embarrassed?" Zhao Hao laughed, pulled out a dry cotton towel from under his butt, handed it to him and said, "It's warm."

    "Are you relieved to see me like this?" Pan Jixun snorted, took the cotton towel and wiped his face, then took off his soaked official hat, threw it into the carriage, continued to wipe his head and said, "This is good  No, it doesn¡¯t matter your Jiangnan Group¡¯s cement production capacity, and you don¡¯t have to worry about the canal being restored. I¡¯ll go back to Suzhou after two days off and continue working for you.¡±

    "Really, so good?" Zhao Hao took out a small sandalwood box from his arms, opened it and handed it to Lao Pan.

    "That's pretty much it." Lao Pan's expression brightened a little, and he picked up a small white stone from the box. He looked a little unhappy and said, "Why are you fooling me with limestone again? This stuff doesn't taste good."

    ps. Second update, try to write another update.  This way you can have a good rest tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
