The model of the Jiuqu Yellow River is placed in the courtyard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The officials of the Ministry of Industry simulated the water flow and the content of the Yellow River in various periods according to the hydrological data of the Yellow River, the Huai River, and the branch rivers along the way. After checking the amount of sand, confirm that the method of flushing sand with beams of water is effective.

Jin Fu's river control strategy, which considers the Yellow River channel and the canal channel as a whole, is placed in the first choice.

During this process, it is necessary to examine all the areas and branch rivers that the Yellow River flows through, to consider the problem comprehensively, and then to form personal opinions into written documents and deliver them to the Ministry of Industry. This is the first requirement for the prince to participate in the Ministry of Industry's formulation of river control strategies.

"Father," the crown prince explained to the sage, "during the big and small court meetings, there were too many people talking, and many of them said a few words, and they were interrupted before they could fully express their views. They first know all the problems faced by the Huang, Huai, and Canals. Everyone must comprehensively propose their own river control methods, and then the officials of the Ministry of Industry will summarize and form a general river control strategy. Otherwise, they will quarrel for another three years in the court. , Still can’t come up with a charter.”

The sage thought it was a good idea for the son.

From the prince's wedding, the sage accidentally asked the prince's opinion on river control, and then the prince devoted all his energy to water control. After a few months, he achieved results that had not been achieved in the past few years.

If the prince knew what the sage was thinking, he would definitely laugh. Project approval and demonstration are necessary for engineering.In the past, people were sent to control the water, and wherever there was a breach, they would go there to block it, and it would not be effective for another ten or ten years.

After Jin Fu's general strategy for river control was adopted, officials from the Prince's Ministry of Industry asked everyone in the court for solutions to the next difficulty in river control—the Yellow River flood.

Every year, the upper reaches of the Yellow River freeze. If it is the Wenkai River, it is fine. If it is the Wukai River, ice dams and ice dams will form, which will inevitably cause damage to the dams and even breaches.

How to deal with ice flood?How to reduce the Wukai River?

Under the guidance of the crown prince, the court ruled the river and discussed the state affairs. Instead of the usual one side put forward arguments, those who supported and those who opposed quarreled into a pot of porridge.If you have any comments, just submit a letter quietly and deliver it to the Ministry of Industry within the specified time limit.

The Ministry of Industry has a special document clerk who summarizes similar opinions and then publicizes them in the court for several days.Then collect the opinions of the ministers and workers.

Repeatedly, until the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the plan for the management of the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, and the Canal was basically implemented.

Jin Fu served as the governor of the river, and adopted the method of "drawing water and flushing sand" advocated by Pan Jixun and "containing dredging in construction" proposed by Jin Fu.

For ice floods, the main thing is to prevent them. The counties prevent Xiangyong from defending the levee during the flood season. Once danger is found, repair it immediately to ensure that the levee is not damaged by Yongbing.In the year when the Wukai River may be opened, we will do it in advance, blast the ice layer, and release the Lingshui to the branch rivers.The increased river water cannot be allowed to bulge out the ice and damage the dams.Especially in narrow river channels, the ice cap must be broken in time to provide a smooth downward passage for the large pieces of ice coming down from the upstream, and ice dams must not be formed.

As for Yu Chenglong's proposal to dredge the sea estuary to drain the stagnant water, it was vetoed by the Ministry of Works that the river estuary was five feet higher than the inland.

The prince's proposal to protect the vegetation in the middle reaches was adopted by the Ministry of Industry.However, for residents in the middle reaches of the migration, it is not feasible to be located away from the river beach.We also need the courage of the villagers along the Yellow River to protect the embankment during the flood season.

The imperial court decided to provide coal along the middle reaches of the Yellow River and prohibit all tree-felling.At the same time, in the middle reaches, garrisons were dispatched to use soldiers to plant trees and grass to increase vegetation and reduce the amount of sediment flowing into the Yellow River.

The household department has demonstrated all the river control proposals. After the plan is determined, the workload of the household department will follow.

However, if the Yellow River can be managed well, there will be no need to face the catastrophe of diverting the Yellow River, and it will not take three or two years to allocate money to the Huanghuai River Basin for disaster relief. It will be of great benefit in the long run.

However, despite the fact that the Ministry of Household Affairs unanimously agreed with this river control strategy.But no matter how good the idea is, when it comes to reality, an important stumbling block lies in front of us: money!silver!

There was not enough silver in the court's stockpile.In the past few years, the weather has been favorable, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has made some savings, which is not enough to control the river.

A few years ago, the sage quelled the vassal chaos and spent all the silver deposits in the household department. In the past few years, he has managed to save a little money.well!

Zhang Taifu is also the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.He was so worried, so worried that his beard was pulled off by his grandson, he didn't have time to feel sorry for him.

The sage knows that the treasury has a limited surplus, but if the Huang, Huai, and transportation are not governed, you don't have to think about saving your family's wealth.He is not only worrying about money, but also worrying about the officials who may be put down in the river governance

"Father, the money for river governance does not need to be allocated in one step. It can be allocated in batches."

"Chengxian, the money for river governance can be allocated in batches. What I worry about is how to cut off those officials who dare to stretch their hands to the money for river governance. Those who are sent to control the river are all shrewd and capable humerus ministers. It is the greed of human nature, which cannot be guarded against.”

"Father, send the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Yushi of Yushitai to go together? Will it be useful?"

"Chengxian, the so-called employing people is not suspicious, and suspicious people are not used. While sending people to do things, at the same time sending people to watch, this..."

"Father, there is a saying that villains come first and then gentlemen. My son has an idea, and my father will discuss it in detail. But in the future, if there is something to do with money, first let the person doing the work decide how much money will be used. Budget it out first. Why do you need to budget so much money? The more detailed the better. Then the imperial court will send people to supervise the whole process according to the budget. It is not officials who do not believe in doing things, but to avoid things like melon fields and plum blossoms."

"This supervisor?"

"My son thinks it may not necessarily be from the Inspectorate, but it must be someone who understands the matter to be supervised."

The sage twirled his beard, considering the feasibility of the prince's proposal.

The sage and the crown prince were racking their brains to plan state affairs. The father and son discussed and discussed, but they still hadn't made up their minds.

Liang Jiu saw that the little servant looked happy, asked a little, and brought him to the holy place.Liang Jiu smiled, and gave the little maid a chance to speak in front of the saint.

"Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the crown prince, the crown prince is happy."

Before the crown prince could react, the sage laughed loudly, "Okay, okay. Reward."

Liang Jiu gave the little servant a silver reward, and went up to congratulate the sage and the crown prince with a grin.

The prince was congratulated by Liang Jiu, looked at the purse on his body, and was very reluctant, so he said: "Liang Jiu, this purse is embroidered by the Crown Princess, and the silver inside is also carried by the Crown Princess, so I can't give it to you. Tomorrow Here, I will reward you with silver."

The prince's words made the sage laugh out loud, and gave Liang Jiu a reward for the prince.

The prince salivated and said: "Father, you can only embrace your grandson because of your son's ability. You should also give your son a reward."

The sage was so small that he gave the prince a double share.Then drive him back to the East Palace.

"Chengxian, go back to the East Palace to accompany Mrs. Shi. Put these things aside for now, and talk about them tomorrow. Liang Jiu, you go with the crown prince, and beat up those people in the East Palace. However, serving the crown princess well is There is a reward."

"Yes, the old slave understands."

In the main hall of the Crown Princess, Mrs. Gu and Mother Xiao, together with everyone in the East Palace, had just congratulated the Crown Princess when San Dezi came in to report.

"Ma'am, the prince is back."

As soon as San Dezi's words fell, the prince led the people in stride.

"Congratulations to the crown prince", "Congratulations to the crown prince", these are the voices of greetings in the East Palace.

The prince smiled all the way back, and Liufu had already sent out a round of bounties.But when he reached out to him again, Liu Fu looked at the prince's face and gave another round of rewards.

Seeing the prince's return, Mrs. Gu and Madam Xiao hurriedly took everyone down, leaving space for the prince and his wife.

"Qingqing, are you okay? How do you feel?"

Shi Shi's face is full of happiness, and his eyes are so gentle that they can drown the prince.She didn't expect that she would have the good news so soon.

"Mingyun, I'm fine, everything is fine."

Today is the day for Donggong's routine diagnosis of Ping'an pulse.Five days ago, the high court warned Shi that the days are too short to diagnose, so she should be careful.Shi held back for five days, not daring to say a word to anyone.She was afraid that the nanny would not be able to handle it, so she showed it.If not, if you don't mention the disappointment of the sage and the prince, you will lose face in the Compassion Palace.

Shi carefully put his hands in front of his lower abdomen, stared at the prince and said: "Ming Yun, the high court judged that he is also fine. He said that he can almost be identified as a boy."

The crown prince sat down next to Shi Shi, gently put his arms around Shi Shi's shoulders, feeling Shi Shi's excitement and excitement.With this child, it must be a boy.

And the birth of this boy will prevent the prince from facing the immoral accusation of pampering his concubine and destroying his wife again, and will not face the passive situation of having no son and being bullied by the second prince to mock him.

"Qingqing, you don't want to go to the Compassionate Ning Palace tomorrow. I will send San Dezi to the High Court for judgment in a while, and let the High Court judge your child support."

"is this okay?"

The prince rested his chin on top of Shi's head, who was in his arms, avoiding Shi's gaze.

"Qingqing, I'm afraid. I'm afraid. You travel back and forth from the East Palace to the Palace of Compassion and Peace every day. What if someone bumps into you with ill intentions? We can't afford that risk."

Shi Shi hesitated for a moment, "Okay. Mingyun, I will listen to you."

"San Dezi, do you still have to use it?"

"Very good, very serious in doing things."

The sage agreed to the prince's request and released all the implicated people in the East Palace from the clothing bureau.Only San Dezi returned to the East Palace.San Dezi never thought that he would be able to leave the clothing bureau, and swore to be loyal to the prince.Now that the crown prince has Liufu, he is assigned to the crown prince.This San Dezi can be regarded as the first servant of the Eastern Palace.In the previous life of the original body, San Dezi was the capable servant of the Crown Princess.

The princess felt the prince's silence, "Ming Yun?"

"Qingqing, what do you say?"

"Is it okay for me to arrange Chunxing to serve you?"

"not good."

"What about Dongxue?" Chunxing grows the best, followed by Dongxue.

"not good too."

"That……"

"Don't worry, if Gu complies with you, Gu will do it."

Mrs. Gu held Xiao Nanny's hand, tears were about to fall.

"I've been worried about this for ten days, and it's finally confirmed."

Alas, the nanny is speechless.The girl has big ideas, and now that she has entered the palace, she dare not say anything more.

"Don't worry, the concubine's baby is all right, and she will definitely give birth to a grandson safely."
