Chapter 2242, clean up the river on the ground

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Jin is playing on the Yellow River embankment in Kaifeng City.

    Before crossing, Liu Jin had learned from textbooks that the river bed of the Yellow River in Kaifeng was several meters higher than the ground on both sides. The highest position was even seven meters higher than the ground on both sides. That's right.  Rivers on the ground and hanging rivers.

    The reason why such a phenomenon occurs is mainly the result of the long-term struggle between man and nature.

    The Yellow River itself has a very high sand and soil content. In open and flat areas, the river's flow rate slows down. A large amount of sediment continues to accumulate on the river channel, and the river bed and water level continue to be too high.

    If it is a normal natural situation, then when the river bed and water level continue to rise, the river will burst its banks and spread across the entire plain area, and eventually it may change its course.

    The Yellow River has changed its course many times in history. Sometimes it enters the sea from the Bohai Sea, and sometimes it enters the sea from the Yellow Sea. This is the reason why it changed its course.

    But this is a natural situation, but for people living on both sides of the Yellow River, it is obviously not acceptable for the river bed to rise and impact the areas on both sides to submerge farmland and villages.

    Therefore, humans will continue to raise the river embankments. When the river bed rises, humans will raise the river embankments. Over the years, over the long years, the landscape of above-ground rivers has been formed. The most famous one is the above-ground Yellow River in Kaifeng.  It's several meters higher than those on both sides.

    Liu Yuan stood on the embankment of the Yellow River section of Kaifeng, looking at the long embankment from a distance, and then looking at Kaifeng City, he couldn't help but sigh,

    The struggle between man and nature is most directly displayed at this moment. It is difficult to see such a high drop and huge river embankment. If the Yellow River breaks its embankments here when it floods, the entire city of Kaifeng will be destroyed.  Completely submerged.

    People will definitely win!

    It is true that man can conquer nature. When facing nature, man can always exert his great potential and imagination, constantly overcome difficult conditions and create a more favorable living environment.

    "This year, it's really a drought. The Yellow River has stopped flowing!"

    Liu Jin looked at the Yellow River in front of him again. The Yellow River in front of him had stopped flowing, and only a small amount of water was left flowing downstream. This was obviously very abnormal.

    All this can be attributed to this year¡¯s dry weather. This year, there was almost no rain in the north of the Ming Dynasty. It was an unprecedented drought, and even the Yellow River stopped flowing.

    However, there are also benefits to stopping the flow. At this moment, the entire Yellow River channel is extremely busy. Thousands of people are constantly digging out the sediment that has accumulated in the Yellow River channel for many years.

    Don¡¯t underestimate these thousands of people. These thousands of people are not the farmers who used to carry weapons on their shoulders, but modern engineering and construction teams. A large number of excavators and engineering vehicles are constantly busy.

    Massive amounts of sediment are constantly being excavated from the Yellow River. However, as engineering vehicles transport the sediment away, it can be clearly seen in some areas that the river bed has been dug several meters deep, as if  Like a cliff.

    The amount of sediment in the Yellow River is too great!

    Especially in the past, it was difficult to clean up the sediment in the Yellow River. We could only watch it slowly rise and become higher and higher, and we could only strengthen the river embankments and dams on both sides.  Prevent embankments from bursting.

    This year¡¯s situation was special, with a severe drought that caused the Yellow River to dry up. Liu Long, the envoy to Henan Province, and Fei Yuan, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, seized the opportunity and applied for a sum of money from the imperial court specifically to clean up the sediment in the Yellow River.

    Liu Jin knew about this matter, and it was Liu Jin who approved it at the time. This time he came here to see if Liu Long had deceived him and if he had implemented the money into the project.

    It now seems that this money was used on projects and on cleaning up the Yellow River.

    "Well, the river is dug very deep. If the sediment is cleaned up, there will be no risk of the Yellow River bursting its banks in the Henan section for at least a hundred years!"

    Liu Jin looked at the deeply dug river, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile.

    Liu Jin was looking around and happened to see a group of officials in official attire on the river embankment not far away talking about the big project in front of them with smiles on their faces.

    Judging from the official uniform worn by the leader, he is a fourth-rank official, probably Fei Yuan, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.

    After thinking for a while, Liu Jin decided to go over and chat with them to learn more about the situation.

    ¡°My lord, it¡¯s better for you to be far-sighted and take advantage of this year¡¯s severe drought to pay tribute to the emperor.?I am a student of Liu Jin.

    "Students are ashamed, students are ashamed!"

    When Fei Yuan heard this, he immediately shook his head, and then introduced to the officials around him: "Everyone, this is Liu Jin, Duke Liu, the chief assistant of the cabinet!"

    After hearing Fei Yuan's words, everyone's eyes widened slightly. Only then did they know the true identity of Liu Jin in front of them, and they all quickly saluted respectfully. As for the first few officials and government servants, their mouths opened wide.  , I also felt uneasy in my heart.

    No wonder these servants are so well-dressed. This seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, the servants of Liu Jin's house, not to mention these officials and government servants, even Fei Yuan must be respectful.  Respectfully, after all, the master behind this is Liu Jin.

    "Mr. Liu!"

    All the officials saluted Liu Jin in unison.

    "Haha, I am no longer the chief minister of the cabinet, so I can't say that anymore."

    Liu Jin looked at everyone and signaled that there was no need to be polite.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
