Vol 10 Chapter 233: Hanging river above ground

Su Li smiled at Nagong Ye Siming's request, but stretched out his hand to outline the picture again...

In the next moment, a picture of the hanging river on the ground was formed. The constantly rising dams made the river seem to hang high above the ridges on both sides. Once it overturned, it would be the sky!

He didn't say anything, but he had already incorporated everything into this picture.

Although the course of the mother river of Song Guo was not so exaggerated at this time, anyone who saw this painting knew that this painting was the future of the mother river after the long run!

This painting seemed to have magical powers, and it instantly made the entire restaurant silent. All the people of the Song Dynasty present, whether they were talking scholars or dignitaries, were silent in front of this painting.

A painting made them deeply aware of Song Guo's current confidant concerns.

If this river broke, it would definitely flood thousands of miles and turn most of the Song Kingdom into a Wang Yangze Kingdom.

Even the scholar didn't dare to say anything more, because he had nothing to do with this kind of scene, and even felt that his hands and feet were cold and his heart was extremely anxious...After all, he was also a citizen of the Song Dynasty, knowing something good or bad.

Su Li said calmly at this time: "Everyone is already aware of the troubles of the mother river, but it is extremely difficult to manage."

"I believe everyone understands why this riverbed becomes high overhang... This is caused by the sedimentation of the sediment from the upper reaches of the river."

"So if you want to control the river, the most important thing is to prevent the sediment from falling in the upper reaches."

His voice fell, and suddenly an old voice came from above his head: "The young man said it well, but the upper reaches of the mother river is located in the Northern Wei Dynasty. How can I let the Northern Wei Dynasty take care of the river trouble for my Song State?"

Su Li looked up. Before he had time to say anything, Gongye Siming on the second floor had already exclaimed, "Grandpa, why are you here!"

There was another whispered uproar below, but I didn't expect Gongye Dazai to be here!

Su Li was slightly surprised, but still said quietly: "The governance of the mother river is never something that a certain river section can do by a single country. If you can't proceed from the overall situation, the left and right are just the palliative measures."

That Gongye Dazai smiled, and he asked condescendingly, "I don't know if your husband has a cure for the symptoms?"

It turned into this Gongye Dazai to test Su Li.

After hearing this, Su Li replied plainly: "The palliative measures are still used, and it is nothing more than diligently repairing dams and river dredging."

Gongye Dazai nodded unsurprisingly, and then said: "What about dredging the river? The old man and others have also suggested this to the king, but in the end, because of the huge expense, he could not affect the spring ploughing. Carry out."

Those scholars all held their breaths, and this is probably the first time they touched on how the court affairs were implemented. At the same time, it also makes them realize that the decision of any one thing is not arbitrary, but needs to take into account a series of chain events.

Just like at this time, dredging the river is undoubtedly a good thing, but if the national treasury is emptied because of this, it will not be beautiful.

Su Li still chose to answer by painting this time.

He carefully calculated the upstream position of the big river map in his hand, and then added a dam extending from both sides to the middle of the big river. However, the dam was not closed in the center, but instead left a narrow space.

In the picture, between the dams of the river, the torrents rushed down, causing the surface of the downstream river to churn...

Su Li's paintbrush seemed to be assisted by gods, and the whole painting seemed to move on its own.

Those scholars are after all empty talkers, watching this scene blankly.

But the people on the third floor stood up all of a sudden, because they had been thinking about how to manage the river, and when they saw it, they suddenly thought of it.

"Shushui washes the silt!" Gongye Siming on the second floor also woke up, he suddenly danced and said, "That's it, why didn't I think that the way is so simple!"

Song State’s old method was to send additional ships to dig back and forth in the mother river valley. This is really inefficient and inefficient, no wonder it would be said that the cost is huge.

But now Su Li's method is to suddenly open up a brand new idea for them... Shut water to wash away the silt, and use water to control the water!

"Mr. Talent!" Gongye Dazai actually bowed in salute.

Su Li replied, "It's just because my friend had been ordered by the king to treat the water, so I think it's just a matter of thinking."

"So? The gentleman actually spread this method of ‘shunting water and silting’ to our country. It’s really..." Gongye Dazai was a little confused. As long as this kind of water control is put forward, it is a political achievement!

"What I said, the management of the mother river should never be a matter of one family to one country." Su Li said frankly.

...For the time being, let the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers take care of this section of the river for the Western Qin Dynasty. When the Western Qin Ruishi takes the Song Dynasty, there will be less trouble.

Su Li is naturally selfish, but his selfishness is now spoken and no one will believe it. Everyone can only think that he has a heart for the world.

"Mr. Gaoyi!" Dazai bowed and saluted again, this time even more respectful.

Last time I only recognized Su Li's talent, but now I recognize Su Li's character and mind... Song people like to play this, and people with outstanding talents and good conduct will be respected by them.

This time even the scholars downstairs dared not show any disrespect, and all thanked them respectfully: "Mr. Gaoyi!"

This scene made Su Li a little cramped, but he found a good way to shift his nervousness. He looked at the boy on the second floor and asked gently, "Gongye Siming, right? Do you have any questions?"

Gongye Siming was a little embarrassed, but at this time he could not help but see Su Li questioning him: "Sir, I don't know if there is a way to solve my Song Guo's current priorities?"

"The rainy season will last. At this time, it is too late to try to clear the silt. Seeing that the river is blocked, you will experience a major flood... Please feel sorry for me waiting for the millions of people in Song Dynasty!"

Su Li was slightly astonished... The rainy season of Song Dynasty is coming soon~www.wuxiamtl.com~ At this time, what else can be done besides continuing to reinforce the dam?

But he asked calmly about this: "I don't know what Gongye Dazai has any ideas? Of course, if it is a secret from the court, then forget it."

"It's okay, let's talk to these young people about the embarrassment of the court." The old Dazai said gently, without any confidentiality.

"The water level of the mother river is now higher than in previous years, but it is almost certain that the mother river will be flooded when the rainy season arrives."

"Although Song State has never slackened by building more dams, but...I am afraid that no matter how well the dams are repaired, they will not be able to withstand the turbulent floods, and eventually the entire Song State will become a piece of land."

"Therefore, the DPRK and China discussed whether they could dig up a section of a dam in advance at an upstream location for flood discharge when necessary... 100,000 people will be affected in exchange for the peace of one million people."

The voice fell, and the whole restaurant was silent.

The scholars downstairs all felt a sense of suffocation... The government was far from simple as they thought.
