Prince of Chaos

Chapter 652

Time flies.

The flowing time finally passed the 27th year of Wanli, the 28th year of Wanli, and the 29th year of Wanli in the long river of time.

The summer of this year is full of heat, the sun in the sky seems to suddenly change its face, attacking the cold wind that has eroded its own season for a long time, venting its anger wantonly, scorching the earth!

Before May of this year, due to the long-lasting winter, the whole spring of Wanli 29 was extremely cold. Even the early summer in April and May was affected by the aftertaste of the cold wind and became Some people can't help but wonder if they forgot to go this winter?

Just when people were thinking about this problem, the sun in the sky seemed to suddenly remember its responsibility, and worked hard to impact its heat wave on the long-lost earth.

In an instant, Daming entered from the cold season to the scorching summer!
Feeling the sudden weather change, Zhu Changluo's face darkened, because Zhu Changluo knew that this was not a good phenomenon.

Next, Daming may enter into an extreme climate environment where ice and fire are two heavens.

At that time, not only will there be extreme cold in winter, but also long drought in summer.

The time to test Daming's fate has finally arrived.

"Pass the decree and announce that Shen Yongmao will see you."

Zhu Changluo immediately summoned Shen Yongmao to see him. Now Shen Yongmao has been promoted from the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry to the position of governor of the river with the title of minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Now he is a veritable Daming Water God.

After Shen Yongmao heard Zhu Changluo's call, he immediately stopped his work and followed the palace servants to Ciqing Palace non-stop.

"Chen, Shen Yongmao, Governor of Hedao and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, has a meeting with the Holy Prince."

After Shen Yongmao arrived at Ciqing Palace, he immediately kowtowed and saluted.

Zhu Changluo said: "Get up."

After Shen Yongmao got up, Zhu Changluo immediately asked, "How is the water condition of the Yellow River this year?"

Shen Yongmao heard the crown prince asked about the Yellow River, which is where Shen Yongmao's self-satisfied achievements lie.

Shen Yongmao replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the water condition of the Yellow River is much more gentle than previous years. Ever since the Ministry of Industry cement was used to build the Yellow River dam, there has been no major breach of the Yellow River for more than a year. Now the minister We are still dredging the suspended river above ground in the Kaifeng section of Henan Province according to Pan Wenxiang’s method of beaming water to flush sand.”

The historical Pan Jixun did not seem to have been given a posthumous title by the imperial court. After Pan Jixun died in Xishan Sanatorium in this life, Zhu Changluo asked the cabinet to agree on a posthumous title for him, and finally chose the word Wenxiang to commend Pan Jixun for his meritorious service in governing the river. Qianqiu's achievements.

Zhu Changluo hummed, "You did a good job in these things. I came to you not only because of the Yellow River. In recent years, the sky has been impermanent, the seasons have changed, and the heat and winter are worse than before. I am worried that there will be big disasters in the future. Floods and droughts occur."

"Therefore, I just want to know how the water conservancy projects in Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, North Zhili and other places are progressing? Since ancient times, with the great changes in the world, the original fertile fields in Guanzhong have also become dry and less rainy. I am worried. If things go on like this, droughts in Guanzhong and Henan will become more extreme and frequent.”…

"Therefore, it is necessary to plan ahead and build water conservancy projects in the two places to alleviate the drought, so that the people in Guanzhong and Henan can survive the disaster year in peace."

After hearing Zhu Changluo's words, Shen Yongmao paid homage again: "I have already arranged for manpower to survey and map the hydrological conditions in Guanzhong and Henan, and the construction of the water conservancy dam in Beizhili has begun. Basic water conservancy construction in other places."

After listening to Shen Yongmao's words, Zhu Changluo nodded in satisfaction.

Shen Yongmao was born under Pan Jixun, and he can be regarded as a generation of water conservancy masters. Moreover, his father was also the former cabinet chief Kui Shen Shixing. It is undoubtedly the best choice to reduce the fetters and non-cooperation of many local officials.

Originally, Zhu Changluo also considered filling Sichuan with the people of Henan and Guanzhong to avoid the cruel harm of the Little Ice Age.

However, after learning about the situation in Sichuan, Zhu Changluo felt that he was thinking too much.

The reason why the people of the Central Plains filled Sichuan during the Qing Dynasty was that the wars in the late Ming Dynasty caused heavy casualties among the people in Sichuan. Moreover, it was also in the late stage of the Little Ice Age at that time. The climate in Henan, Guanzhong and other places was extremely extreme. Even with the prolonged severe drought, the common people had no way out, so they had to follow the government's order to go to Sichuan.

But the current Sichuan, although it can't be said that it is overcrowded, at least there is no shortage of people there.

In addition, the relocation decree is too difficult to implement.

The people of the Central Plains, who were deeply influenced by the Han cultural clan, wanted them to leave their hometowns and live in a strange place far away from their homeland. This is really too difficult.

Of course, they can also be forced to migrate.However, the consequences are also serious.

In ancient times, the problems of traffic conditions and violent law enforcement have always been difficult problems, and they cannot be solved by Zhu Changluo's orders at all.

If the people in Guanzhong, Henan are really forced to go to Sichuan, it is unknown how many people will die along the way.If it is not done well, it will also cause a huge popular uprising. This is completely a decree that slaps the head, so in the end, Zhu Changluo can only do it.

Now, what Zhu Changluo can use is water conservancy technology to minimize the extreme weather problems caused by the Little Ice Age.

Of course, when carrying out the construction of these basic water conservancy facilities, Zhu Changluo also issued a relatively mild immigration decree. This decree is the beginning of the great immigration known as the "Crossing the Guandong" by later generations-the Kai Liao Order!

The reason why the Liao order was issued is also very simple.

Because there is no shortage of people in Sichuan, but there is a shortage in Liaodong!
Liaodong is so big, but there are not many Han people, and they have always been in the hands of Jurchen and Mongolian tribes.

When the Central Plains dynasty was tyrannical, Liaodong was naturally settled.Once the Central Plains is unstable, it will always be a serious problem here.

And the only way to solve this serious problem is to flood the Han people, dilute the local Jurchen and Mongolian tribes, and make them gradually accept the royal education of the Han people. After a long time, this place will naturally become like the ancient land of Kyushu. Become an inseparable part of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In the original historical time and space, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Pass and established the Dingding Central Plains, it was convenient for the Han people to travel to and from Liaodong. Gradually, the land of Liaodong was filled with Han people from the pass to reclaim barren fields and recuperate there. …

Finally, in the last years of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi suddenly became vigilant, thinking that too many Han people would enter the Liao Dynasty, which would disturb the dragon veins of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and cut off the retreat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, it was ordered to ban Han people from entering Liao Dynasty.

However, it was too late. The Han people had flooded into Liaodong in large numbers, changing the national subject of Liaodong. Coupled with another large-scale immigration from the Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, this made the Liaodong Han people more and more inseparable.

Therefore, no matter how the later great powers and Japanese pirates struggled in the Northeast, they could only fail in the end.

The biggest reason for this is that the ethnic structure of Liaodong has changed, and it is no different from the traditional Han land in Guan.

Therefore, in the end, Liaodong became the northeast, and it became the land of Kyushu that has been inseparable since ancient times.

Although the arrival of the Little Ice Age will also make Liaodong colder, Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, with fertile black land and primeval forests that contain countless rare treasures.With these two points as an attraction, and in conjunction with the many benefits of the Liao Order, there will naturally be adventurous people from the Central Plains who will travel thousands of miles and trek thousands of mountains to Liaodong.

In Zhu Changluo's order to open Liaodong, as long as the people who are willing to live in Liaodong, the imperial court will exempt them from paying taxes for ten years on the wasteland they reclaimed in Liaodong.Moreover, the firm of Xishan Huangzhuang will also set a minimum protective price for grain and mountain products from Liaodong, which will be used to purchase grain grown by the people of Liaodong and obtain mountain products in the forest.

After the opening of the Liao Dynasty, the people of Shandong who are closest to the Liaodong area are ready to move.

In places such as Shandong and Beizhili, these tenants who were originally farming land for wealthy families, under the temptation of the Liao order, began to gradually try to travel to the east of the Guandong.

In order to ensure the safety of these common people traveling through the Guandong, Zhu Changluo also came down to the state capitals along the way to give some basic support to these hopeful people who left their homes and ventured through the Guandong, such as shelter from the hot wind and rain and a warm ration.

Although these supports are very limited, at least it is a kind of human warmth, which makes these anxious immigrants feel more at ease.This can be regarded as Zhu Changluo's kindness.

After all, the future and fate of the two tens of millions of people of Ming Dynasty are already connected with his blood, so he naturally has to do his best to find a way out for these people to be worthy of his identity and his responsibility!
"Ten years, I will give you ten years. Gu can transfer any manpower and material resources you need in these ten years. However, you must promise Gu that after ten years, Henan and Guanzhong will be free from serious problems! "

Zhu Changluo directly gave Shen Yongmao a ten-year deadline, and perhaps promised him full power.This trust is unique in the entire court.

Shen Yongmao immediately said: "If I cannot complete the basic water conservancy construction in Henan and Guanzhong within ten years, I am willing to pay compensation with the head of the project."

Seeing Shen Yongmao's firm eyes and answer, Zhu Changluo was also deeply touched. If the ministers of the Ming Dynasty had Shen Yongmao's awareness, what fear would there be in the Little Ice Age?
Zhu Changluo stood up and helped Shen Yongmao up, "Gu understands Qing's heart. If you do it boldly, you will definitely support me to ensure that Qing's errands can be completed smoothly."…

Shen Yongmao was extremely moved, he never thought that the Crown Prince would attach such importance to water conservancy!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Yongmao talked about another major water conservancy issue.

Shen Yongmao said: "Your Highness, I still have something to tell Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo said: "But it's okay to say."

Shen Yongmao took out a memorial from his sleeve, and presented it respectfully, "Your Majesty, please allow me to carry out the plan of returning the Yellow River to its old way."

After Zhu Changluo received Shen Yongmao's memorial, after pondering for a moment, he said, "Tell me carefully."

Shen Yongmao was overjoyed immediately, and couldn't help but give Zhu Changluo a big gift.

The dream of changing the Yellow River back to its original course is not only the dream of Shen Yongmao, but also the dream of all the masters of water control in the past dynasties.

Ever since the Yellow River broke its embankment at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it has left its original course like a wild horse, and rushed into the waterway of the Huaihe River in an incomparably vast manner.

Since then, it has entered the famous period of "the Yellow River seizes the Huaihe River and enters the sea" in the history of the Yellow River.

After the Yellow River seized the Huaihe River, it brought endless disasters to both sides of the Huaihe River.

The Huaihe River has its own flood season. After the Huaihe River flood season, Anhui, Nanzhili and other places in the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River will fall into a state of tragedy.

Now with the addition of the Yellow River, the already miserable banks of the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River have become even more miserable.

Every flood season, the turbulent flood is like a terrifying monster that chooses to eat people. Wherever it goes, there is a piece of white land, without leaving a blade of grass.

Over the past two or three hundred years, the imperial court's investment in river governance has almost been invested in Henan, Anhui, and South Zhili.

However, there will still be dikes breaking here every year, no matter how much money you spend to get in, it will be a waste of time.

Therefore, people with lofty ideals think that one day they can tame the Yellow River again, make the Yellow River break away from the course of the Huaihe River, return to its original course, and flow into the river from Henan to Shandong.

Unfortunately, this is too difficult.

The river is ruthless and manpower is limited.

Human power cannot compete with the power of heaven and earth.

I can only watch helplessly as the Yellow River robs the Huaihe River and acts recklessly day after day.

But now it all seems possible.

Because the appearance of cement gave Shen Yongmao hope.

As long as the cement is used properly, the Yellow River will surely be tamed, and it will return to its own river course obediently, and continue to be a mother river that will benefit all generations.

Zhu Changluo confidently looked at Shen Yongmao's memorial and listened to Shen Yongmao's explanation.

Zhu Changluo finally had a little in-depth understanding of the problem between the Yellow River and the Huaihe River.

At the end, Zhu Changluo asked: "How many years of work, manpower and material resources will it take to bring the Yellow River back to its old way?"

These issues must be considered by Zhu Changluo, because this project is really too big.

Even if it is handed over to a modern society with a high degree of mechanization, this project is a large-scale national project that requires long-term demonstrations to produce results.

Once it is constructed, it will be hundreds of billions of investment and decades of super projects.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo had to be cautious.

Shen Yongmao said: "It will take about 30 years and 500 million manpower to complete."

After hearing Shen Yongmao's words, Zhu Changluo was shocked. …

"30 years? 500 million manpower?"

This is not a joke, it is more terrifying than dozens of life-and-death national wars.

Such an investment, not to mention Zhu Changluo, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, would refuse without even thinking about it.

Because this is really beyond the capabilities of the times.It is simply not a great project that can be completed in one generation.

In Zhu Changluo's historical memory, the reason why the Yellow River was able to return to its original course was because the bald headmaster ordered to blow up the Yellow River embankment to stop the invasion of Japanese pirates.

According to the information from later generations, Zhu Changluo knew that the catastrophe was absolutely a catastrophe.

The rush of the Yellow River did not stop the Japanese pirates from continuing to invade. On the contrary, the common people who lived in the lower reaches of the Yellow River for generations were devastated.

Millions of people were swallowed by the water of the Yellow River just because of this bombing, and the land they used to live on became a saline-alkali land with no harvest.

It can be said that such a project is really not something that the current Daming can preside over.

If you really want to complete such a super project, Ming's industrialization will have to progress for at least another 100 to 200 years before there is any hope of completion.

It is impossible now!

Therefore, when Shen Yongmao finished speaking, Zhu Changluo also closed his memorial.

Zhu Changluo sighed and said: "This matter is too important. Not only is there the danger of overthrowing the country, but it is also unpredictable. If you are not careful, millions of people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River will die. Therefore, you can't be sure! "

Zhu Changluo rejected Shen Yongmao's request for a memorial, but at the same time, Zhu Changluo did not return the memorial to Shen Yongmao, but put it away by himself.

Shen Yongmao's eyes were filled with regret, and he also knew that his plan was too crazy.

However, as a water conservancy person, as an aspiring and ideal person, Shen Yongmao sincerely hopes that the Yellow River can return to its old course and separate from the Huaihe River, so as to bring health and happiness to the people in Nanzhili, Anhui.

Looking at Shen Yongmao's regretful eyes, Zhu Changluo also patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Although Gu is not allowed, it does not mean that your plan is not good. Gu just carefully read your plan. It is worthwhile. place."

"It's just that the current Daming doesn't have the strength to complete such a unparalleled project. Gu also feels very sorry, but Gu believes that one day Daming will have the strength to complete this unparalleled feat."

"This day may be 100 years later, or 200 years later, but as long as Daming is still there, Gu can assure you that the descendants of Daming will fulfill your long-cherished wish today. Let the Yellow River return to its old way and become a river. A river of goodness for all generations."

After hearing Zhu Changluo's assurance, Shen Yongmao cried.

With tears in his eyes, Shen Yongmao said: "I thank Your Highness for future generations."

Zhu Changluo said: "You don't have to thank Gu for them. If they want to thank them, they can thank themselves. In the future, if Gu can't do it, you can do it too. Only they can do it themselves. If, by then, they have the ability, they Do it yourself."

"The orphan will keep this memorial of yours in the palace, to show the successors, and let them remember their mission. Only by making continuous progress and development, Daming, can you hope to realize your dream. This is also considered lonely. Give them a warning and encouragement."

Zhu Changluo's words moved Shen Yongmao again.

He really didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to keep his memorial in the palace as a warning to the successor.

This honor is really too high, completely beyond Shen Yongmao's imagination.

Shen Yongmao immediately bowed and said: "Your Highness, you can't do it. This memorandum is just a family statement, how can it be used as a warning to pass on to the successor? Your Highness, please take it back."

Zhu Changluo smiled and said: "How can it not be done? This memorial is for the country and the people, and it can also be used for the welfare of future generations. It is appropriate to use it as a warning to the successors. It can also motivate them to move forward and continue to implement the following. Benevolent and virtuous government based on the people.”

Zhu Changluo's words made Shen Yongmao admire him from the bottom of his heart.

The crown prince's mind is higher than the past and the present, and accommodates the whole world.Don't care about the gains and losses of one person, only look at the gains and losses of the world.

With such a benevolent king in the court, the Ming Dynasty still worries about not being able to rejuvenate, why worry about not being able to prosper forever?
Shen Yongmao was very grateful and kowtowed again.

And Zhu Changluo personally supported him again. The friendship between the two of them, under the brilliance of this, can already shine through the past and the present, and become a model.
