"This matter can be considered! Once he successfully completes this matter, give him a fiefdom and let him take care of it.
You should immediately draft an edict and tell Zhao Wudi to let them go ahead and do it boldly.
I am their biggest supporter.
I don’t worry about anyone’s retaliation.”
Li Xuantian said seriously.
Li Ye is the best candidate to inherit the throne.
But he still needs to be tested comprehensively.
And you need to gain more experience and become familiar with the rules of officialdom.
If both can complete the tasks perfectly, Li Xuantian will not hesitate to let Li Ye inherit the throne in the future.
The chief eunuch was overjoyed when he heard this.
He spared no effort to speak well of Li Ye, wasn't it for this purpose?
"I'll prepare it right away!"
Li Ye quickly gathered 300,000 young and strong laborers.
Under effective command, these 300,000 people were well-organized.
Build shacks in safe places as temporary residences.
And their families were also divided into different areas for resettlement.
It is convenient to distribute food.
The janitors were paid their wages on the first day they arrived.
And at this time, food is what they need instead.
After all, in the disaster area, food is almost monopolized by large grain traders.
You have to pay several times the price to buy food.
Giving money is far less practical than giving food.
The daily wages are settled on the same day, which makes everyone very motivated.
Completely relieved.
I am extremely grateful to Li Ye.
After the training, when chatting privately, Li Ye was always mentioned in the conversation.
"I never thought that His Highness the Sixth Prince really cared about our family. It's such a blessing for our family!"
"That's absolutely right! In order to deceive those unscrupulous businessmen and corrupt officials, the price of grain was increased several times.
Many people cursed His Highness for colluding with corrupt officials.
I really misunderstood His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."
"Yes, I feel really ashamed when I think about what I said to His Highness before! I hope His Highness can forgive us."
"You underestimate the Sixth Prince's generosity! He only used it to deal with corrupt officials, and he never blamed us.
But the fact that we can have food to eat and support our families is all thanks to the Sixth Prince.
We must not be lazy while he is working. We must give our all, that is the way to repay His Highness."
"That's for sure! We recruited so many people mainly to build river embankments. Isn't the purpose of building river embankments to prevent our people from suffering from disasters in the future?
If you dare to be lazy while doing this kind of work, are you still a human being?"
"That's absolutely right! With His Highness here, we will definitely be able to repair our riverbank.
I will never have to worry about floods again.”
"If Your Highness can truly save us from flooding, we will definitely build a temple in your honor and offer sacrifices to you."
"That's a good idea, let's settle it!"
The Lao Qi family has very low requirements and is very satisfied with just a stable life.
Li Ye has become everyone's hope.
Li Ye was studying the topographic map of the river in the yamen.
Xiao Cui, Lin Yue and Princess Ru Yue were also there to offer advice.
“Floods occur every few days, and they say the river is too narrow.
This time, building the embankment will give us the opportunity to widen the river. As long as the river is wide enough, the water level will drop, and we won't have to worry about floods. "Princess Ruyue had investigated the areas where the river had breached its embankment and felt she had a say."
"I think what the princess said is right! Wouldn't it be enough to just double the width of the river?
From now on, no matter how turbulent the river becomes, it will never burst the dam again."
Xiao Cui also followed up and said 䦤.
Lin Yue didn't say anything, and looked at Li Ye with a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
She knew that Li Ye must have found a way.
Li Ye shook his head and said, "Your method is inappropriate!"
"Why? Isn't it because there's too much water to hold the river?"
Princess Ruyue was very dissatisfied.
Li Ye patiently explained: "The river embankment is being reinforced and raised almost every day.
However, as the sand and mud in the river settled, the riverbed became higher and higher.
This will easily lead to a dam bursting over time.
The riverbed is now much higher than the surrounding areas.
Even if the riverbed is widened now, the flow of river water will slow down and the sedimentation rate will be faster.
It won't be long before the riverbed becomes higher again, and it will burst the banks again during the rainy season," Li Ye explained.
Princess Ruyue had never thought that such a situation would happen, and she was extremely confused.
"If that's what you say, what should we do? Can we just let the river burst its banks?"
Li Ye replied, "If we want to heal the river and prevent floods from happening again, we must do it in two steps.
The first step is to narrow the river and speed up the flow of the water.
This prevents the sediment from settling and may even wash away all the previously deposited sediment.
The river will become deeper and deeper, and there will never be any worry that the riverbed will be raised.
The second method is to plant more trees on both sides of the river, and they should be trees with very developed root systems.
Some shade-loving grasses and small shrubs should also be planted under the trees.
With these plants, even heavy rain will not wash the soil into the river.
If we do these two things well, it won't take much to make the river water clear and free of silt.
As long as the riverbed doesn't rise, there's no need to worry about floods."
After listening to Li Ye's explanation, the three people were very surprised, but they did not completely believe it.
Because Xiao Cui was a maid, she did not dare to refute or question what Li Ye said.
But Princess Ruyue will not blindly obey when it comes to major issues.
"What kind of logic is this? The river is already swollen. If we make it narrower, won't the water overflow?"
Li Ye took out two chopsticks, placed them on the table, and raised one side of the table.
Pour water from the kettle onto the stove.
"Look carefully! As long as it's within a certain range, the water won't overflow.
Instead, it will make the water flow faster!
As long as the required river width is calculated based on the flow of river water in the rainy season, there is no need to worry about the river overflowing.
Besides, it is to ensure safety and prevent accidents.
This time when building the river embankment, we must be meticulous and build more canals to divert the river water.
During the dry season, river water can be brought in to irrigate the fields.
If there is heavy rainfall, the river water will surge and become unsustainable.
Water can be released through canals without causing huge floods all at once.
Temporarily release some water to get through the dangerous period.
If we close the canal when it's safe, the flood will recede quickly and won't drown all the crops."
Li Ye demonstrated and explained to them carefully.
Princess Ruyue watched the small experiment carefully with her eyes wide open.
I have never seen such a novel demonstration method.
Surprisingly, the river flow can be clearly simulated.
You can see the status very clearly.
