The girl in green smiled faintly and said calmly: "The reason why the Wei River bursts its embankments every year is because more and more silt and sand accumulate in the river channel, and the river channel becomes narrower and narrower. Even if the embankments are reinforced and raised, It can’t match the speed of river siltation. We need to trace back to the source and start treating it from the source of the Weihe River.”
"Control it from the source? How to control it?" Mo Chuan still didn't look at her.
She stretched out a finger and counted: "The source of the Wei River is to the west of Guannan. It is a sandy soil with serious sediment loss. Therefore, in order to cure the flooding of the Wei River, the first step is to plant at the source of the Wei River. A large number of trees and tree roots can consolidate the soil and reduce sediment loss, so they will greatly slow down river congestion. The second step is to build a reservoir in the upper reaches of the Wei River, use a dam to block the water, and then open the dam during the dry season. By releasing water, the people on both sides of the Weihe River will not die from drought due to lack of water. This can be said to kill two birds with one stone. The third step is to dredge the sediment in the river and dig the river deeply. As long as these three steps are done, I believe the Weihe River can be solved. The floods and drought in Guannan are not difficult problems. "
Isn’t it a difficult thing
Everyone couldn't help but inhale through their teeth again and stared at her with wide eyes.
They couldn't figure out where this young girl got her confidence from! The problem that even the emperor and the ministers in the court were unable to solve became easy when it came to her mouth
Looking at the girl in green talking, her eyes are bright and she seems to be confident.
But those are floods and droughts that have harmed the people in the Guannan region for decades. How can they be solved so easily
Even Queen Mother Zhou was a little unsure.
She knew nothing about river management, and she heard the girl in green talking about terms she couldn't understand, such as "sandy soil", "sediment loss", and the construction of "reservoirs".
What is this reservoir
Queen Mother Zhou was suspicious in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face. Instead, she turned to look at Mo Chuan with a smile.
"Emperor, do you think this girl's method is still effective? How is it compared to the learned scholars in your court?"
Mo Chuan's jaw tightened and his dark eyes stared at the face of the girl in green. This seemed to be the first time he looked at the girl.
After hearing what Empress Dowager Zhou said, he turned around with an unnatural look on his face and said lightly: "It's just talk on paper. The little girl doesn't have any knowledge. She treats floods and droughts as child's play. If it can be solved so easily, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Aren’t those ministers like freeloaders?”
"If the river is flooded every year, aren't they just a loser?" Queen Mother Zhou became angry and blocked the emperor.
Mo Chuan was immediately blocked and speechless. He looked at Queen Mother Zhou: "What do you mean, Queen Mother? Do you really want me to send this girl to control the river?"
"What about this girl and that girl! The Yi family thinks the three methods this girl said are very good, very good! You said she was just talking on paper, then do you dare to send someone to follow her three methods? Don't you try? How could she know that her method didn't work! The Ai family believed that since she could tell these three methods, she must have more detailed measures. Even though she is young and a girl, the Ai family believed that She knows how to manage rivers better than those ministers in your court who are aged in their 80s and have gray beards!"
