On the Yellow River, dozens of large ships sailed slowly.
February is still a little cold.
But Liu Mingguan, who was standing on the bow of the ship, was full of energy. He looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait and sighed.
"Unexpectedly, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan that gave birth to the old Qin people has now become like this." He said, "Mingqi, do you think that if this continues, the scenery of Shaanxi will become more and more ugly. ah?"
Next to him is Liu Mingqi.
And what Liu Mingguan is talking about is naturally the bare mountains on both sides of the strait, which look yellow and bare, but slightly green.
With the naked eye, you can see that the mountain soil is a little precarious and wants to fall down and mix with the water of the Yellow River.
Literati can better understand the concept of green mountains and clear waters, because these are recorded in history books.
But they don¡¯t understand more about the ecosystem.
Liu Mingqi took the opportunity to say: "Brother Mingguan, this is actually a whole concept. Because people lack fuel for cooking and heating, they continue to cut down trees, resulting in fewer trees, so they cannot tightly hold the soil underneath. The soil Then it will slowly slide into the Yellow River like what you saw just now.
It doesn¡¯t matter if there are one or two sections, but if this is the case in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, then the sediment in the Yellow River will accumulate more and more. Once the sediment accumulates over a few years or decades, the water level will inevitably push up.
This kind of thing usually doesn't happen. If there is a heavy rainstorm upstream or the iceberg melts more, more river sand and river water will be rolled up and swarmed downstream, resulting in the Yellow River flooding in the Central Plains. The water dragon breaks through the dike and destroys all the land in sight.
At the same time, once this kind of water and soil cannot be maintained, the upper reaches of the Yellow River will become increasingly poor. There will be no land for farming and no good water sources to use, and the people will become increasingly poor. But on the other hand, as they become poorer and poorer, they will become more dependent on cutting down trees in exchange for higher fees.
So the scene you see now is actually a huge hidden danger to our great health. If left unchecked for a long time, the Yellow River will overflow once every three to five years in a hundred or two hundred years, and the disaster will become more and more serious, and it is normal for the people of Dakang to become increasingly poor. "
Liu Ming was dumbfounded when he heard this.
He was lamenting that the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River was not as beautiful as before.
Who knew Liu Mingqi told him so much.
Although Liu Mingguan was a literati who liked to recite poems and write poems, he was very kind-hearted and was not the kind of heartless nobleman.
Recalling the serious consequences Liu Mingqi said, his face became solemn: "In that case, Mingqi, have you spoken to the Holy One?"
"Of course I did." Liu Mingqi nodded and said, "Originally, they were going to have a serious discussion and do something but they encountered an enemy invasion at the beginning of last year According to the current situation, it will be considered lucky to return to normal in three years. It is something worth celebrating if we start to fully manage it after five years."
Liu Mingguan frowned: "We still have to wait five years to do it? Doesn't it take ten years to do it?"
The young man laughed dumbly, "Brother Mingguan, you think too simplistically. This is not that simple! Replanting trees and preventing water and soil from being lost is only one aspect. The key is to make the people rich, otherwise they will be poor. , or do we just have to keep cutting down trees, so that our planting speed can match their cutting speed?"
"So it will take a long time?" Liu Mingguan asked.
"It takes three generations to completely solve the hidden dangers of the Yellow River. That is God's blessing." Liu Mingqi said with a smile, "So we have a long way to go. For future generations to never endure hardships like us, we must not relax! We should eat what we deserve. If they eat hard, they will live a better life!"
Liu Ming thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "Mingqi, you are right! I will definitely follow you and do what I can by then!"
"Brother Mingguan, there are so many things you can do." Liu Mingqi hesitated for a moment, but did not say that I will wait for you to become the queen. Don't forget this.
Because according to the emperor's wishes, he wanted to support his unborn son.
But in Liu Mingqi¡¯s opinion, it was not very appropriate.
It takes at least thirty years for a prince to mature from the time he is born. This is still the best situation.
It is not surprising that a child raised by a woman in the deep palace will still be a child when he is old.
And during the thirty years of waiting for him to mature, the variables are actually very large.
Many courtiers will have their own ideasHow good is mutual help and mutual benefit? Why do you want to fight? "
"Isn't it because we are too rich and they want to get something for nothing?" Liu Mingjing said without hesitation: "We are diligent, frugal, and accumulatedfor thousands of years, we have formed a strong and wealthy country. As a result, they These people are not interested in production, but only in plundering, so they naturally have the strongest opposition to us."
"Yes! Getting something for nothing is the biggest problem!"
Liu Mingguan sighed, "Thanks to you too. Otherwise, we would have been miserable this time! Even now you are going to the Small Tribe Alliance While I am grateful for my brother, I am also worried about you!"
"It's not necessarily dangerous." Liu Mingqi said with a smile, "Besides, there are so many brothers behind us. Even if someone wants to use tricks, let them taste our anger!"
Liu Mingqi¡¯s military strength was not as good as Liu Mingjing¡¯s, but when he heard what he said, Liu Mingguan felt even more relieved.
Because he believed in his cousin's ability.
The appearance of a saint is not just for nothing!
