Chapter 38 Summoned
Walking outside the room that the academy prepared for the emperor in advance to rest, Emperor Jingfeng asked everyone to wait outside first, and only called Gu Yunji, Xu Chengyu and a few close followers in.

In the room, Emperor Jingfeng said straight to the point: "Gu Yunji, I have read your article on river control, and your viewpoint is very novel. Especially this method of planting trees, I have never heard of it. Can you tell me how you came up with it?"

Gu Yunji said: "Return to Your Majesty's words. The students once met the old farmers in the countryside and said that if the crops are not loosened for a long time, the roots will grow longer and deeper, and the soil will become harder and harder. It is especially difficult to move. So the students The same is true for the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, the soil in Guanzhong is loose and thick, and it is extremely easy to be swept down by rainwater."

"If trees are planted all over Guanzhong, water and soil are conserved, and the soil layer is consolidated, it will not only solve the problem of sediment in the Yellow River, but also gradually turn Guanzhong into a land of abundance."

Emperor Jingfeng looked at him with interest: "Then have you tried it before? How feasible is this method?"

Gu Yunji replied truthfully: "Students have never tried it, and they are not sure about its feasibility."

"Oh? Then you are just talking on paper and talking big?" Emperor Jing Feng's tone was light and his eyes were deep.

"Your Majesty!" Xu Chengyu knelt on the ground with a plop, and hurriedly made amends for his apprentice, "Gu Yunji's so-called river control strategy was just a casual talk in class, and he never expected that His Majesty would value it so much. Huangkou children are young and ignorant. I hope His Majesty will not blame you. !"

Emperor Jingfeng raised his hand and said: "Mr. Xu, get up first, I just ask him casually, I won't do anything to him."

Without squinting, Gu Yunji said calmly: "Your Majesty asks, and students dare not answer truthfully. Planting trees sounds simple and convenient, but there is a lot of knowledge involved. What kind of trees to plant? At what density? Tree survival rate Geometry? Do we need to protect against cold and insects? These issues need to be carefully considered and discussed.”

"Also, the land in Guanzhong is vast, and the situation in each place is different. The strategy of planting trees must be adapted to local conditions and cannot be copied. Every detail is of great importance. If one step is wrong, if one is not careful, a lot of money will be lost. Pleasant. The students have never tried it before, so they really dare not speak in front of His Majesty."

In the previous life, it was said that planting trees to stabilize water and soil is also a road that the government has practiced and gone through. It can be seen that it is indeed effective.But Gu Yunji only saw this method in the textbook, and he didn't know how to implement it.If he dared to talk nonsense in front of the emperor, it would be easy to lose his head if he made a mistake in the future.

Emperor Jingfeng said: "According to what you mean, this afforestation cannot be carried out without discussion and survey for three to five years? But the problem of the Yellow River is imminent, and there is no room for slow discussion."

Gu Yunji took a deep breath and said slowly: "Yes, according to the students, the method of attacking sand with water is the most reliable in the current situation. The risk is nothing more than the fear that the effect will not meet expectations, the sand will not be washed away, and the flood will It came first. But as long as the data such as the speed of the Yellow River and the sediment content are calculated in advance, it will be clear at a glance whether this method is feasible. If your majesty does not believe it, you can send someone to investigate."

At this time, a minister standing silently next to him suddenly said: "We have already surveyed it, and it is feasible."

Gu Yunji looked at him in surprise, but saw Emperor Jingfeng said with a smile: "Yes, we have completed the survey, and after calculation, we found that it is indeed feasible. This is also the main purpose of my inspection of the Yellow River." Then, he introduced, " This is Master Pan Shiliang who proposed the strategy of confining water and attacking sand."

Gu Yunji admired this Mr. Pan who is good at controlling rivers, so he hurriedly saluted: "So you are Pan Shaoqing, sorry for your disrespect."

"He is not the young minister of Dali Temple now." Emperor Jingfeng answered, "It is the Yushi of Youqian Capital of the Inspectorate. I have appointed him as the Prime Minister of River Affairs to be responsible for this project of water attacking sand."

Pan Shiliang smiled slightly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's great love, I am willing to entrust the burden of governing the Yellow River to my ministers. Naturally, I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's trust." Then, he turned to Gu Yunji, "I have also read your article. Somewhat immature, but it is indeed a pioneering move. If you have the opportunity to try it on a small scale in Guanzhong in the future, maybe it can really reduce the sediment and make the water of the Yellow River clear. Then you will be a great hero who will go down in history!"

Gu Yunji blushed and said ashamedly: "My lord is too famous, what you are doing is a great good deed that will last for thousands of years. The students' so-called river control strategy is just a lie in the classroom to catch people's attention. How dare you compare it with your good plan."

Gu Yunji's words are sincere, the afforestation is his plagiarism of the wisdom of modern people, not his original idea.However, it was Pan Shiliang who came up with the idea of ​​beaming water and attacking sand, and truly opened up history. The other party's praise made him feel extremely ashamed.

"Hahahahahaha, you are real." Emperor Jingfeng admired Gu Yunji's answer, "He is talented yet low-key and humble. He is a man who can be made. He is worthy of being a child of the Gu family in Songjiang."

Then, he looked at Xu Chengyu and continued: "Mr. Xu said earlier that he has accepted this kid as a disciple? You are quick to act, but don't hide it. Let him take the imperial examination and become an official soon!"

Xu Chengyu said: "This is natural. The old man will definitely teach him well so that he can be used by His Majesty as soon as possible."

Emperor Jing Feng looked really happy, stood up and patted Gu Yunji on the shoulder: "You have to work hard, don't let me live up to my expectations of you."

Gu Yunji's respectful voice should be yes.Upon seeing this, Emperor Jing Feng stopped talking and beckoned him and Xu Chengyu to go out.

After leaving the door, he made sure that there was no movement outside the room, so Xu Chengyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a weak voice: "You boy, you scared me to death just now! Your Majesty asked if planting trees is feasible for you Just answer no? Not even a little tactful?"

Gu Yunji was puzzled and said: "Didn't you say that Your Majesty is very smart and doesn't like to listen to stereotypes, so you let me do as I please? Besides, if I tell a lie, wouldn't I be deceiving you? It would be even worse if you blamed Your Majesty."

As he said that, he glanced narrowly at Xu Chengyu: "You also said that it's not that you haven't met His Majesty, that I'm too excited. Then why are you afraid of being like this?"

Xu Chengyu was choked by his words, turned around with a guilty conscience, and said after a while: "How could I have thought that you would be so free-spirited! Didn't I say big things before, Your Majesty's dragon is intimidating, you have to be careful at all times, how can you not be afraid! "

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and turned around suddenly: "Also, why did you write it down when you were not sure about afforestation? I thought you were confident and confident. When you said you hadn't experimented, I My legs are going to be weak, but luckily His Majesty didn't blame me."

Gu Yunji has also figured out Xu Chengyu's temper these days, knowing that he is not really angry, curled his lips when he heard the words: "Just like you, talk big! I never thought that you would send the article to Mr. Pan, and Mr. Pan presented it to Mr. Pan again." Your Majesty? Why did you have such an on-the-spot interview today?"

Xu Chengyu couldn't talk to him, and was speechless for a while, so he had to walk away.

Seeing this, Gu Yunji smiled, thinking of the scene just now, he was also afraid for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave when he saw a middle-aged man in official uniform walking towards him.

"You are Gu Yunji?"
