Daming: Let you do your best to manage, do you go to health?

Chapter 2 Zhu Di Examination School
Dai Lun was very respectful when he saw the King of Han, but Zhu Zhanji was different. After all, he was his student.

But he also knew that Zhu Zhanji's status was noble, so naturally he wouldn't really take advantage of his status. He nodded to Zhu Zhanji with a smile and said, "Hurry up and get dressed, and return to the palace with me."

Zhu Zhanji nodded.

At this moment, a voice sounded in Zhu Zhanji's mind.

"Task [-]: Play badminton for half an hour."

"completed."

"Task 45: Afternoon tea, please drink it after [-] minutes to rest in the afternoon, it will help improve the fatigue of the day."

"Countdown: 00:44:59!"

The imperial palace, Fengtian Temple.

Dai Lun and Zhu Zhanji entered through the gate, slowly came to Zhu Di's desk, and knelt down.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister brought His Highness the eldest grandson."

Zhu Di, who was frowning and reviewing the memorial, heard Dai Lun's voice, just gave a soft 'hmm', waved his hand, and motioned them to stand up, while he continued to look at the memorial.

It wasn't until he made up his mind and issued Zhu's approval, and the eunuch next to him put the reviewed memorial together and put it aside, that Zhu Di slowly raised his head.

Looking at the two people in front of him, he recalled it for a while, and seemed to be thinking about the purpose of calling them here.

Then suddenly said: "Oh, yes, the eldest grandson is here."

He waved and said, "Boy, come here."

When Zhu Zhanji came, Zhu Di reached out and rummaged through the reviewed memorials.

"here."

He stretched out his hand, opened it, glanced at it, and threw it to Zhu Zhanji, saying: "I heard from your teacher Dai Lun that your recent studies are not bad. Come, take a look at this memorial."

After finishing speaking, he leaned back in the chair, stroked his beard and waited for Zhu Zhanji's reply.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the memorial in his hand, and he understood that it was Grandpa Huang who was testing himself.

Opening the memorial, Zhu Zhanji read it carefully.

The general content is related to the flood in Henan Province.

The Yellow River Basin is one of the cradles of Chinese civilization. While the people on both sides enjoy the fertile land, flooding has been an unsolvable problem for thousands of years.

After all, people cannot control the rainfall.

But this time, Henan, an important province along the Yellow River, encountered another flood.

The reason is also that in summer, it is the rainy season in Henan, with a large amount of precipitation, which naturally causes floods.

For five to six minutes, Zhu Zhanji checked all the information in the memorial verbatim.

In the final analysis, it is just a sentence, Henan Cheng announced that the political envoy wants money and food.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji put the memorial together again, Zhu Di asked lightly: "Have you finished reading it?"

"Well, it's over."

"If it was you, how should you approve it?"

After speaking, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji.

When Zhu Zhanji was thinking about how to answer, Dai Lun, who stood silently in front of the two, was very excited at the moment.

As Zhu Zhanji's teacher, although Dai Lun knew that before Zhu Zhanji was formally canonized as the grandson, the future ownership of the throne was still unknown.

But before that, Zhu Di never let Zhu Zhanji participate in any government affairs.

Even though Zhu Di valued this grandson very much, and even surpassed the prince Zhu Gaochi to take this grandson by his side to teach him, but still the same sentence, the matter of the royal crown is unknown until it is confirmed.

But now Zhu Di is personally testing it with government affairs, and there is too much information released in it.

At this moment, Zhu Zhanji seemed to have thought about how to answer, and said: "Grandpa Huihuang, floods are natural disasters. This has happened since ancient times, and there are ways to deal with them in all dynasties. First, dispatch officers and soldiers to rescue the victims , Secondly, the imperial court allocated relief funds to comfort the victims. After the disaster, manpower was organized to help the people rebuild.”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's reply, Zhu Di's face was extremely calm, without any change, he just nodded: "Well, it's roughly the same as the reply after the first reading of the East Palace."

Regarding Zhu Zhanji's answer, Zhu Di's attitude was a little vague, neither praise nor criticism.

When Dai Lun in front of the imperial court guessed Zhu Di's thoughts, Zhu Di continued to ask, "Besides these, do you have other ideas and countermeasures?"

Maybe Zhu Di didn't get the result he wanted from Zhu Zhanji's model-style answer just now, so he asked a question.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "I have some ideas, but after thinking about it, I think it's useless, so I didn't say much."

"Oh? Tell me."

Zhu Zhanji was silent for a moment, and after organizing his words, he said: "After my grandson saw the content of this memorial for the first time, a question came to my mind, and I couldn't solve it. This flood has existed since ancient times. The flood in Yan'an of the Huaihe River in the Yuan Dynasty led to the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty, and there are many records of flood outbreaks in the history books of all dynasties."

"But why, this flood has existed since ancient times, and there have been many governances in the past dynasties, but there are still traces of it?"

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Di stroked his beard and said, "Continue."

"My grandson ventured to speculate that the causes of the floods in the past dynasties are nothing more than abundant rainy seasons, diversion of rivers, deforestation of trees on both sides of the river, melting of ice and snow in winter, etc. from historical records. Knowing its origin, why has it not been resolved for thousands of years?"

"Since ancient times, when mentioning floods, people in the world have referred to them as natural disasters. But is it because of natural disasters, or is there no cure for human beings?"

"The grandson is arbitrary, thinking that there is no rule of man, not a disaster from heaven."

Zhu Zhanji's argument is unique, and it is rare to attribute the so-called natural disasters of the world to the fault of the rule of man.In particular, when talking about the cause of the flood, the reasons such as the deforestation of trees on both sides of the strait and the melting of ice and snow in winter, etc., made Zhu Di's eyes shine.

It was the first time Zhu Di had heard these arguments raised.

But Zhu Di didn't interrupt in a hurry, and continued to ask: "If you are in charge, how should you manage it?"

Zhu Zhanji said: "If the grandson is in charge, the grandson only wants to eradicate the law. There are three main aspects."

"First, in response to the cause of the flood, a new policy was introduced. The trees on both sides of the bank must not be felled indiscriminately, and the mountains and soil on both sides of the bank must not be excavated at will, so as to protect the normality of the land along the river and avoid land loss and ecological changes caused by the diversion of the Yellow River."

"Second, it is aimed at the failure of the rule of man. The Yellow River suffers from floods every year, and the imperial government allocates funds for disaster relief and construction of river embankments every year. But when you go to the Yellow River and take a look, what is the difference between the river embankment and a hundred years ago? The reason for this is nothing more than officials from all over the country. The money used by the imperial court to build the embankment was heavily exploited, and the money used to build the embankment was diverted to other places. In addition, the Yellow River flows through several provinces, and officials from all over the country only know to sweep the snow in front of their doors, and who really cares about the life and death of the people nearby. "

"If you want to eradicate it, the only way is to set up a yamen dedicated to rectifying the flood of the Yellow River. Sort out a set of measures to control floods. At the same time, build reservoirs in dangerous places, areas with fierce water and heavy precipitation."
