These are also facts. Although the Ming Dynasty began dredging the Grand Canal at the very beginning of its founding, starting with dredging sections, this project could not be ignored, as it was essential for ensuring the supply of materials to the new capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone understood that after the capital was moved to Beiping, many supplies would need to be transported from the south. Although Tianjin provided some support and some supplies could be transported by sea, this was clearly insufficient, and the Grand Canal had to be kept open.
Managing the Yellow River is certainly related to people's livelihoods, but the existence of the Grand Canal is also extremely important, and these are all issues that need attention.
Yan Zhenzhi continued, "Your Majesty, if the Yellow River is tamed, I dare not say that the Ming Dynasty will be free from floods again. However, the Huai River basin will be much more stable."
“We know that too. If the floods are controlled, things will be much more stable.” Old Zhu sighed and said, “We also know that over the years, many areas along the Huai River have suffered from severe floods, and many people have suffered from disasters year after year.”
Zhu Yunying immediately thought of the Flower Drum Opera. Because of its location between the Yangtze and Huai Rivers, the area was prone to floods. In addition, its strategic location made it a hotly contested area for military strategists. Therefore, it was often plagued by major floods caused by natural disasters and man-made calamities.
Although there are no sounds yet, who knows, some folk tunes might start being sung in the future.
Speaking of Fengyang, it was originally a good place, but ever since Emperor Zhu came to power, it has suffered from famine for nine out of ten years.
Wealthy families sell their mules and horses, poor families sell their sons. My family has no sons to sell, so I carry a flower drum on my shoulder and travel the world!
The Yellow River changing its course has a huge chain reaction. At present, the people suffering the most are actually those living in the Huai River basin.
These things need to be done now; we can't wait until the situation becomes so dire that we have no choice but to address them.
Preparing in advance is never a bad thing!
