Chapter 286 Waiting for Natural Disasters and Other People to Confuse

If we want to solve the crisis on the Huai River now and increase our resistance in the future, the first step must be to abolish the water and transform the sea, and make great efforts to change the disaster-ridden situation in the Huai River.

Of course, it is not something that can be accomplished in a day. If the court wants to make up its mind, Liu Yu must prove one thing: the navy can stand firm within the sphere of influence of the Celestial Dynasty, and the world ranking does not count, but it is invincible in the world .

This world includes Nanyang.

Only in this way can the emperor feel at ease.

The emperor was frightened before, and although the emperor made up his mind to engage in a navy, he also thought about it and took the canal as an alternative.

Thinking about spending money to maintain it, if the navy is defeated, it can still rely on the canal to rule the north and the south so as not to split and separate.

Anything the imperial court does requires preparation in advance, and it cannot be done immediately.

Turning waste water into sea is not just a matter of shipping.

After the abolition of the water and the transformation of the sea, there is no priority to protect the water transportation. How should the Yellow River be managed?How will the local affected people deal with it?All this requires a plan.

People can be killed, but the Yellow River can't be killed. Now the imperial court has no plan to govern the Huanghuai River without guaranteeing the water transportation under the thinking of protecting the water transportation.

The research on these plans will also require the Ministry of Industry to be busy for several years.

So this matter really has to be mentioned this year.Neither the Netherlands nor Japan is a protracted war. The two countries have a shogunate system, and a company is too far away from the mainland. It is a quick win theory. It can be calculated that these two issues can be resolved within five years at most.Once these two matters are resolved, the emperor's strategy of retaining the canal in case the navy is defeated can be abandoned.

In five years, it should be enough to outline a comprehensive plan for the governance of the Yellow River and Huaihe River without considering water transportation.

If it is not dealt with, the ability to resist disasters on the Huai River is too fragile, and there is no place to relocate people for reclamation, and it is far away from the industrial revolution center of the textile industry envisioned by Liu Yu, such as Songjiang. Even if the factory system has just started, there will be a slight industrial impact event.

Once something goes wrong, this shit will be pinned on the industry's head, and Confucianism's conservative and reactionary retreat to the ideology of the well field system as the ultimate solution must be crazily counterattacked.

Now it is Tan Zhen who is going to put forward the idea of ​​abolishing the canals and transforming the sea into the Yellow River this year, and let Chen Qinghai spread the word that this Tan Zhen will take the lead and be the vanguard, and let Liu Yu follow behind to cooperate.

The question is how to cooperate?What did Tan Zhen mean when Chen Qinghai was leaving?
When he talked about his doubts in this regard, Kang Busan thought for a while and said, "The meaning of Mr. Tan is actually very simple. This matter, as a Jiedu envoy, he can only talk about Jiangsu's affairs; this young master Earl, you can talk to Your Majesty about the affairs of the world."

"What is the matter of the world? The matter of the world is a piece of rotten meat on the Huai River, and it should be dealt with ruthlessly."

"Is this related to Jiangsu? Of course it is related."

"However, is northern Jiangsu the only place affected by the canal? I'm afraid that Anhui, southern Shandong and other places will also suffer from it. Whether the Jiangsu Jiedu envoy can get Anhui? Does he want to get southern Shandong?"

"There are some things that can be called not being in the position. This Mr. Tan is the Jiedu envoy of Jiangsu. Let me ask you, he, the Jiangsu Jiedu envoy, let the rice be transported by sea and arrived smoothly, which relieved the burden on the people. Is it the duty of the businessman to benefit and the court to save money?"

Liu Yu nodded and said, "This is a matter of course."

"Is it his job to manage the river?"

"Uh... yes, no?"

It was really difficult for Liu Yu to answer this question.

Jiangsu is not only southern Jiangsu, but also northern Jiangsu.

This Tan Zhen is the Jiedu envoy of Jiangsu, not the Jiedu envoy of Southern Jiangsu.

Is it his duty to govern the river?
It stands to reason that this counts.

However, there is still a river governor who is in charge of this matter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it does not count.

Kang Bushao reminded again: "As a provincial envoy, it is only natural to make a suggestion that is obviously beneficial to the province, and it is my duty."

"How long can he be the Jiedu Envoy of Jiangsu? If he doesn't become the Jiedu Envoy of Jiangsu in the future, how can he mention this matter? If he is transferred to Xijing, or will guard the southwest in the future, he will mention the Huanghuai Canal, which is beyond reach? At that time, we can only wait for others to mention it, and he will stand in the back to support and wave the flag, but he cannot mention it."

"But the young master is different. The young master is the governor of the whale sea, just making up the numbers. The real identity of the young master is Ying Suobo and His Majesty's confidant Lang Guan, who organizes and trains the navy. The young master also interferes too deeply in the matter of shipping. In the future, he will leave It doesn't matter."

"Even if the abolition of the water and the transformation of the sea is implemented, the Jiangsu Jiedu envoy will only cooperate. In the future, the one who will fight with those who support the water transportation will not be Mr. Tan, but you, young master."

"In my opinion, Master Tan wants to remind young master: as Ying Suobo, the establishment of the old, the abolition of the water and the reform of the sea is not just a matter of money and food, but is beneficial to the long-term interests of Huanghuai water control and stability on the Huaihe River."

"Of course, if something goes wrong in the future, the young master will have to bear the blame."

When Liu Yu heard that he was going to take the blame again, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "This is strange. Then Tan Zhen also supports the abolition of the water and reform of the sea, so why doesn't he have to bear the responsibility? I have to?"

Kang Bushi used a somewhat vulgar metaphor.

"Abolishing the water and changing the sea is like a woman's menstruation. The court mentions it every three to five times. One more person is not too much, and one person is not much. No one really cares or bears grudges, because it is all a war of words. Only the son is different. , this shipping matter, young master can really do it, it's past the stage of verbal battles."

"It is precisely because the waste of the water and the reform of the sea is the content of court discussions like a woman's menstruation. He will be the vanguard, and the people behind can't keep up, so he will fart in the court hall. The smell will be gone as soon as it dissipates. I don't care. If he beats the vanguard, and the young master follows behind to wave the flag and shout, then it's not farting."

Liu Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Farewell, I can't afford it either. The matter of abolishing the canal and changing it to the sea is not about shipping at all. Yes, I proved that shipping can be done, but I can't solve the problem on both sides of the canal. If there is a problem with the shipping, I can take responsibility; but I don’t want to bear the blame on both sides of the canal, and I can’t bear it.”

Kang Buxiu also smiled, looked at Liu Yu and said, "That's right. If you really want to do this, young master, you have to make a detour. Otherwise, the big blame will have to be on your shoulders."

"So, although the young master supports it, it is not the same as what Tan Zhen Tan wants the young master to do. It is to speak out all possible disasters before doing things."

"What do you mean?" Liu Yu was taken aback for a moment, listening to Kang's intentions. This is to put himself on the sidelines of opposing water transportation, and to speak out about the possible impact of the reform?

What is this?Is it to provide a bunch of shells to the opponent first?
Kang Buxiu smiled and said: "My own people say that bad things can turn into good things. This is called long-term pain rather than short-term pain. The merits of the present age and the benefits of the future are nothing more than short-term pains; Deep and shallow; others don’t say it, and I don’t say it myself. If something happens in the future, it will bring disaster to the country and the people, and it’s not impossible to bear the scapegoat as big as Wang Jinggong.”

"In other words, the young master supports the abolition of the water tank and the reform of the sea, but the young master must also write out all the disadvantages of the abolition of the water transport before the water transport school."

"Only in this way, once the policy is finalized, it can be implemented for a long time, and the policy will not be stopped when there is a problem. Otherwise, if something happens, the responsibility will be entirely the responsibility of the shipping party."

Liu Yu frowned and said: "I support it, but I still have to tell the bad things first? It's not that you don't understand the situation in the court. If you want to do something, you have to overcorrect. You have said everything well, and it's hard to convince; Saying all the bad things, isn't this setting up obstacles?"

"Besides, there are quite a few things that happen in the canal transportation every year, right? No one can deny that some floods have a great relationship with the canal, right?"

Kang Bulai said: "Things are things, principles are principles. Positions are positions, facts are facts. It is not the same thing in the court."

"Since the founding of the dynasty, there has been water transportation, no sea transportation. It is like the sun hanging in the sky. There may be droughts, but everyone thinks that this is not the sun's fault, but inevitable. Sea transportation is all good and good, but It’s like changing the sun, if something happens, it’s all the fault of the new sun.”

"There are a lot of problems with water transportation now, and floods have a great relationship with water transportation. However, if a flood occurs now, it is a natural disaster, even if it is caused by a canal. It's a man-made disaster."

"What is heaven? What has existed since ancient times is the sky. The matter of the canal has existed since ancient times, so if nothing is done, it will be a natural disaster. Natural disasters, no one is responsible."

"My son really wants to make it..."

Kang Buxiu stopped suddenly, took a deep breath and said, "Young master, if you really want to make it happen, you must wait for natural disasters or chaos!"

"It's up to people to plan, and it's up to God to make things happen! If there is no catastrophe, if the Yellow River does not burst, this matter will not be accomplished; if there is no chaos, the Huai River will be corrupted, and the canal will be blocked, this matter will not be accomplished."

"The so-called plan is to tell the pros and cons. If there is a catastrophe in the future, what kind of harm can be done? At that time, the disadvantages mentioned by the young master will be meaningless, and only the advantages will be left."

"Master Tan wants you to stand in Yingsuobo's perspective and think about the long-term for Dashun. He thinks that this will convince His Majesty. Of course, he also thinks it's up to you. But it's useless to say so much. I don't believe that there is no one in the court. Know that Huanghuai is the place where the world is most likely to be in trouble in the future."

"So, just wait for a major natural disaster. Only a catastrophe that completely cuts off the river transport and the Huaibei civil uprising can make this happen. Therefore, if you want to support it, you must first talk about the disadvantages of abolishing the water and reforming the sea. , make this impossible.”

"Is the matter in Huaibei only a matter of the canal and the Yellow River? Land mergers, more people and less land, the southeast, northwest are crowded places, and there is nowhere to immigrate."

"Sooner or later, there will be chaos. Early chaos is worse than late chaos. If you want early chaos, you have to have canals. Continue to let the Yellow River flood every year."

"Otherwise, what if there was a natural disaster in the year when the Cao Cao was changed to the sea... Hehe, do you know the "Refugees Map" in the Song Dynasty? It is not the future of the son, but maybe since then, no one will dare to mention the waste of the water. Things."

"Uh..." Liu Yu was a little speechless, waiting for natural disasters, waiting for natural disasters, if the Yellow River does not burst and the canal does not have a chance to be interrupted for ten or twenty years, then the big pot may be carried on the back of the industrial revolution and the small people Bankrupt?

It sounds like Tan Zhen is someone who really wants to do things. If he does this by himself, even if he supports it with words, he will suddenly list the shortcomings of turning waste water into sea.

They have achieved such a status as an official, and have been in court for several years, so there is actually not much morality left.If you do this, it is easy to have no friends in the court.
