Jin Fu Chen Huang's governance of Yellow River is very effective. Unexpectedly, the upstream water reduction dam project has not been completed, and the Yellow River begins to rush again.
According to Chen Huang's idea, as long as the flood is discharged in Taoyuan County dam collapses in , it can reduce the pressure on the upstream and effectively resist the invasion of the flood peak. By the completion of the dam reduction project next spring, the previous efforts will not be in vain.
This idea is quite good. It not only preserves the dam reduction project, but also effectively blocks the rampage of the Yellow River, but also prevents the people of the upstream and downstream from floods. It can be said that it is a win-win situation.
As for Taoyuan County, the river governor is willing to be responsible for all the money for the county's migration, minimizing the disaster.
00 Unexpectedly, Taoyuan County Magistrate Yu Zhenjia insisted on opposing it.
Yu Zhenjia did not do it for his own benefit, but he always doubted Chen Huang's ability to control water. If the dam in Taoyuan County is broken, and if it still cannot stop the flood, then Taoyuan County will be in vain.
Jin Fu took the Wang Ming flag and forced Yu Zhenjia to execute the order. Yu Zhenjia was still stubborn. His mother was unwilling to move out of Taoyuan County, which further strengthened his belief in protecting the berth.
Yu Zhenjia has a high prestige in Taoyuan County. He fought to protect the berth to the death, received support from the people, and formed a deadlock with Jin Fu and Chen Huang.
As a result, the flood came early, and Taoyuan County avoided the flood peak, but the water dams in the upper reaches were all destroyed, and the downstream became a country of water, and the people suffered greatly.
Officials from the court were already jealous of Jin Fu and Chen Huang. Now Chen Huang’s measures to combat yellow have been ineffective, and they even attacked him in groups. So can Chen Huang and Jin Fu escape?
Although the Yellow River collapsed and the river governor was to blame, Jin Fu and Chen Huang were all honest people. Their efforts were seen by the emperor, and the mistake was not on them but on Zhenjia's stubbornness. The emperor would choose to keep them.
What's more, even if you want to take down two people, who can replace them in the civil and military affairs of the court? Who else is as honest and self-confident as theirs, putting all their thoughts on governing the river?
Of course, more importantly, Chen Huang and Jin Fu have come up with a solution. Jin Fu decided that the Xiaojiadu water reduction dam could be repaired without the government's funding.
It turns out that although the Yellow River collapsed and caused countless casualties, the Yellow River crossed the border and caused 2,500 hectares of fertile land in the Xiahe area. These unowned fields are under the jurisdiction of the River Governor. If you sell it for three taels of silver per acre, you can immediately get an income of 750,000 taels of silver.
With this huge sum of money, it is more than enough to repair the upstream water reduction dam. After all, this flood was caused by the time the water reduction dam was not completed.
Disaster has been caused. Now the imperial court can achieve miraculous effects on governing the Yellow River without spending much money. Jin Fu and Chen Huang are equivalent to losing their merits and everyone has nothing to say.
Of course, avoiding this disaster does not mean that Chen Huang and Jin Fu are safe. Their efforts were not praised by all the officials of the court, nor the recognition of a good person like Yu Zhenjia, and the road to governing the river was still extremely difficult.
