Zhu Youjian did not say anything. If the Gaojiayan Embankment is not changed, Sizhou City will sink into Hongze Lake forever in 34 (the 1680th year of Kangxi) 19 years later...

At the cost of millions of lives, tens of millions of people were saved...

This is also a kind of sadness!

Sun Zhenglan was silent.

After a long time, he sighed:

"The ancestral land of the imperial dynasty is in Fengyang.

In order to ensure the functioning of the country, the people of Fengyang have indeed endured a lot.

Your Majesty said well!

Killing one person to save millions of people is also a crime!

Looking at the overall situation, raising Gaojiayan and flushing the Yellow River is indeed a clever move.

However, the people around Hongze Lake are so innocent! "

He sighed for a while and said:

"What is His Majesty going to do?"

Zhu Youjian pointed in the direction of Lankao:

“One south and one north, two rivers running parallel!

The terrain of Lankao Tongwaxiang is flat.

If a section of the river is manually dug from here, it will pass through Changyuan, Fanxian, and Taiqian, enter Shandong, and connect the Daqing River to the sea.

In this way, the Yellow River has two channels, the north and the south.

In fact, the reason why the Yellow River breaks its banks is that it contains too much sediment, which precipitates the river bed and raises the river channel.

The bigger reason is that the water volume in the upper reaches is too large and the river channel in the lower reaches is narrow.

For a long time, Chinese people have paid attention to intensive farming and wished they could grow vegetables in their yards.

The river tidal flats have been occupied too much by the reclamation of lakes and rivers to create farmland.

In this way, the downstream is getting narrower and narrower, how can the embankment not burst?

Just imagine, if the lower reaches of the Yellow River were widened ten times, and regular dredging was carried out, how would there be any harm caused by embankments bursting? "

Sun Zhenglan stood up loudly and said with shock on his face:

"Your Majesty, this is not allowed!

If a new river channel is to be opened, too much land will be occupied along the way, and there is a risk of civil unrest! "

"Listen to me!"

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and put on a heavy expression:

"The Confucian sect of Qufu was destroyed by the crazed Donglu regiment, and I am deeply saddened by it.

The most holy teacher, the saint, suffered such a disaster, how could I bear to take away the property of the saint?

After hearing about the sudden change, I ordered people to search for the saint, then re-establish the Holy Duke and worship the saint.

who knows……

Two months have passed, and the army has searched everywhere, but still can't find the saint...

well! "

Zhu Youjian sighed heavily.

Sun Zhenglan's eyes widened and her scalp was numb. If it weren't for the restraint of the hair crown, all her hair would have stood up long ago.

His whole body was shaking...

How much land does the Kong family have?

——Most of Shandong belongs to the Kong family!

He guessed the emperor's plan!

This is to exchange the fields of the Kong family for the land to build the North River Channel of the Yellow River!

There is a common saying among the people - whoever benefits is the murderer...

Judging from His Majesty's posture, I'm afraid he has already thought about how to control the Yellow River.

What about the plan to replace the Kong family’s land?

Did you already have this plan?

If His Majesty had already considered this, what about the massacre of the Kong family?

Sun Zhenglan didn't dare to think about it anymore...

Zhu Youjian sighed a few times and finally showed his fox tail:

"The Holy Master is a saint, and no one knows how noble and upright a saint is!

The saint has spirit in heaven, so he naturally does not want to see my people suffer from the flooding of the Yellow River. "

Zhu Youjian shook his head, opened his eyes and told lies.

Unsurprisingly, no one dared to refute his words!

Anyone who refutes it is questioning the saint!

Since Confucianism has become the dominant religion, questioning the saints is seeking death and will become the public enemy of scholars all over the world!

"Ugh!"

Zhu Youjian sighed heavily again:

"The entire Kong family has been massacred by the Donglu, and I really can't find any descendants of the saint.

I had no choice but to set up a sage temple in the capital of Han Dynasty, and stipulated that ancestors should be worshiped according to ancestral rites.

Although I, the Zhu family, have a humble beginning, I am still a noble person, and I think I am barely qualified to offer sacrifices to the saint. "

Zhu Youjian's words are even more righteous!

Who dares to question?

Emperor Yongsheng of the Ming Dynasty personally "proved" that the Kong family had been "slaughtered" several times. If anyone questions this...

Ha ha!

I really thought Zhu Youjian’s gloves were in vain!

As for the second half - personally offering sacrifices to Confucius with the dignity of an emperor...

For Confucian scholars, this is a very happy thing.

The higher the emperor praised Confucius, the higher the status of their Confucian scholars!

In today's critical moment when hundreds of schools of thought are reappearing and Confucianism is not showing its light, the "smoke bomb" released by Zhu Youjian, even if the Confucian scholars knew it was a scam, they had to eat it!

Whoever dares to oppose this article is an enemy of the literati in the world!

"Sun Qing!

Duke Yansheng left most of the land in Shandong. If I take it into the Imperial Mansion, people will inevitably criticize me and think that I want to swallow up the saint's property.

Therefore, after much thought, I decided to exchange the land of Confucius for peace in the world.

This method is good governance that benefits the country and the people, and will be able to protect the Chinese people endlessly in the future.

Thinking that the saint’s spirit is in heaven, he should readily agree, right? "

Sun Zhenglan's head was filled with shock.

He opened his mouth slightly and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

Could you be any more shameless?

Your Majesty, can you be any more shameless?

Sun Zhenglan's eyes widened and she didn't know what to say.

And Zhu Youjian...

But this guy was still smiling and asked again:

"Sun Qing, what do you think of this method?"

"Snapped!"

Sun Zhenglan suddenly slapped his hands and shouted:

“This is benevolent government!

This is a great event that will benefit our people!

Your Majesty, if the property of the Confucius Mansion is exchanged for land and river channels are built, not only can the North Branch of the Yellow River be widened, but the South Branch can also be widened again!

And the Huaihe River! "

Sun Zhenglan spoke with righteousness:

"Your Majesty!

In order to flush the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the current Huaihe River water must be stored in Hongze Lake to raise the water level.

Because Hongze Lake is surrounded by plains, if you want to achieve a better sand flushing effect, you must raise the dam higher.

Only in this way can the impact of the water flow be made greater!

but……

Doing this is equivalent to placing a bomb on the heads of the people of Fengyang, Huai'an, and Yangzhou!

If this bomb really explodes one day, the entire Lianghuai region will probably turn into the Hong Kingdom! "

"Your Majesty's plan is actually a good deed that can benefit all the people of Ming Dynasty!

I raise my hands to support you! "

"His Majesty!

The minister thought for a moment and realized that just widening the two Yellow Rivers would not require so much land.

Now that the North Branch of the Yellow River has been excavated, there is no need for such a high Hongze Lake embankment.

In this way, we can also dig a flood discharge river at a selected location, and when the water level of Hongze Lake is too high during heavy rains, we can open the gate and release the water! "

Sun Zhenglan slapped Zhu Youjian's horse in disguise.

When the conversation changed, he said categorically:

"Your Majesty, I thought that our great minister, Fang Yuegong, could take on such an important task!"

Sun Zhenglan did not recommend this candidate randomly.

Although Fang Yuegong was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he was world-famous for his talent as an official.

The most important thing is that Fang Yuegong himself is a water conservancy expert.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Youjian laughed loudly.

As expected of Sun Zhenglan...
