The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"You're putting me in charge of flood control along the entire Yellow River?"

"I am merely a seventh-rank county magistrate; how could I possibly be worthy of such a heavy responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "My lord, please don't joke with me."

"I only ask you, do you have this confidence?"

Chu Xiu said with a calm expression.

"Have!"

Yu Wenyuan gritted his teeth and said with unwavering determination.

"As long as Magistrate Yu has this confidence, that will be fine!"

Chu Xiu gave Yu Wenyuan a deep look and said, "Magistrate Yu can arrange the affairs of Licheng County first. Perhaps the imperial edict will arrive soon."

"Thank you for the recommendation, Lord Marquis!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenyuan immediately understood Chu Xiu's meaning. He bowed respectfully to him and said with tears of gratitude.

Chu Xiu's recommendation this time is definitely a huge opportunity for him.

Moreover, it's not just about being promoted and given a title; more importantly, it's about being in charge of flood control along the entire Yellow River this time.

Even if he were dismissed and sent back to his hometown after this effort to control the Yellow River floods, Yu Wenyuan would be willing to accept it.

The Yellow River flood problem affected millions of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Yu Wenyuan was willing to do something practical for the millions of people of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

"However, I have a few somewhat immature suggestions."

"If Magistrate Yu thinks it's feasible, we can learn from it."

"After all, I don't know much about flood control."

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, then spoke to Yu Wenyuan.

As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he had naturally read a lot of information.

He had a certain understanding of all regions of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This world is ambiguous and cannot be directly applied to any ancient dynasty before the time travel.

After all, there was no Great Zhou Dynasty before the time travel, and there were no Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, or other similar countries after the time travel.

Therefore, there was no Dujiangyan Irrigation System in this era.

"Please speak, my lord."

"Your humble servant is all ears."

Yu Wenyuan said with a solemn expression.

"My first suggestion is that when Magistrate Yu is managing the Yellow River floods, he should not neglect ecological management."

Chu Xiu spoke calmly and casually.

"Ecological governance?"

Yu Wenyuan seemed to be deep in thought.

"Ecological governance consists of two parts."

"The first part is planting trees and creating forests!"

"Planting trees and afforestation in the upper reaches and along the banks of the Yellow River will increase vegetation coverage, reduce soil erosion, and lower sediment content."

"The second part is wetland restoration."

"Restore and protect the wetlands along the Yellow River, as wetlands can absorb and retain floodwaters, reducing peak flow."

Chu Xiu said calmly.

"Planting trees and creating forests?"

"Wetland restoration?"

Yu Wenyuan muttered to himself, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his face showed great admiration. He exclaimed in amazement, "Wonderful, wonderful!"

Your Excellency's suggestion is a problem that our Great Zhou Dynasty has overlooked in managing the Yellow River floods throughout its history.

If it weren't for the Marquis's mention, I would never have even thought about it in this way.

If we follow the Marquis's suggestion to manage the Yellow River floods...

It is highly likely that the Yellow River floods, which have plagued our Great Zhou Dynasty and even subsequent dynasties for thousands of years, will be completely resolved, and the elimination of the Yellow River floods will be just around the corner!

"Lord Marquis, this is a brilliant governance strategy that will benefit millions of people in our Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Please accept my bow, Your Excellency!"

After a pause, Yu Wenyuan bowed to Chu Xiu and said with great excitement.

"There's no need for such formalities, Magistrate Yu."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile.

"My lord, this bow is not for myself, but for the millions of people of our Great Zhou Dynasty who have been affected by the Yellow River floods!"

Yu Wenyuan spoke with a serious expression and a firm tone.

"My second suggestion is to call it 'Fish Mouth Water Dividing'!"

“Build water diversion facilities on the Yellow River to divide the river into inner and outer rivers. The inner river will be used for irrigation, and the outer river will be used for flood discharge.”

Chu Xiu smiled and said.

"Fish mouth parting the water?"

"It's divided into two rivers, an inner river for irrigation and an outer river for flood control?"

Yu Wenyuan frowned, deep in thought, as if pondering whether this method was feasible.

"The third suggestion is to build a sand-flying weir."

"Using the natural force of water flow to discharge silt into the outer river, reducing siltation in the inner river."

"The fourth suggestion is the 'bottle mouth' (or 'bottle mouth')."

"Control the amount of water entering Neijiang to ensure a balance between irrigation and flood control."

Chu Xiu didn't keep them in suspense, but instead revealed the remaining two suggestions as well.

In fact, the Fish Mouth Diversion Weir, the Flying Sand Weir, and the Treasure Bottle Mouth are all important components of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System.

However, Chu Xiu didn't know whether these three methods could be used as a reference or whether they were feasible in the process of controlling the Yellow River floods.

However, even if these three methods are ultimately not applicable to the management of the Yellow River floods, they can still provide Yu Wenyuan with some inspiration.

“My lord, if you do not understand flood control, then no one in our Great Zhou Dynasty understands flood control.”

"I have always believed that we have rich experience in flood control, but we just didn't have enough money to manage the floods in the past."

"But only today do I realize that my abilities are no match for Your Excellency's, like a frog in a well, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

"A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study!"

Yu Wenyuan remained silent for a long time before speaking with deep emotion.

"Magistrate Yu is too kind. I only offered a small suggestion."

"Apart from the first suggestion, whether the other three suggestions are feasible and can be applied to the management of the Yellow River floods needs to be determined by Magistrate Yu by gathering experts from our Great Zhou Dynasty who are skilled in surveying and mapping, as well as those skilled in flood management, to make a judgment based on the actual situation of the Yellow River."

"Even if it is feasible, we still need to ensure the accuracy of the engineering design and construction in order to truly implement these suggestions."

Chu Xiu waved his sleeve and said nonchalantly.

"My lord, if you were to recommend me, could you provide me with enough talented individuals?"

"I am afraid that I alone cannot complete the task of controlling the Yellow River floods."

Upon hearing Chu Xiu's words, Yu Wenyuan pondered for a moment, looked at Chu Xiu expectantly, and said with a sincere expression.

"You can rest assured on this."

"Our Embroidered Uniform Guard will help recruit talents skilled in flood control throughout our Great Zhou Dynasty."

"And recruited outstanding craftsmen."

"The Ministry of Works will also assign personnel in this field to serve under the county magistrate."

Chu Xiu smiled calmly and said.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Yu Wenyuan bowed to Chu Xiu once again to express his gratitude.

"Alright, I have finished dealing with my affairs in your Licheng County, and it is time for me to leave."

"Magistrate Yu, we'll meet again someday."

Chu Xiu left with a single sentence and then disappeared from Yu Wenyuan's sight.

Dugu Yanyu and the others followed, disappearing into the horizon together.

"Farewell to the Marquis."

Yu Wenyuan watched Chu Xiu leave and bowed respectfully.

High in the sky.

"Dugu Yanyu, have you been able to find out the identity of Zhao Huaizheng, the governor of Jinan Prefecture?"

Chu Xiu walked through the air with his hands behind his back.

"Reporting to the Marquis, we have not been able to find out that Zhao Huai, the Prefect of Jinan Prefecture, is a member of the Yellow Heaven Sect."

"Zhao Huaizheng probably didn't know that Zhao Mingzhang was the leader of the Huangtian Sect's branch in Qingzhou."

"They were simply bribed and deceived by Zhao Mingzhang."

Dugu Yanyu said without hesitation.

Chu Xiu nodded slightly, remaining silent.

at this time!

"Congratulations, host, for your unwavering commitment to doing positive things, you have received the Go Grandmaster reward, ten Blissful Ascension Pills, and ten Yin-Yang Creation Pills."

"Do you want to receive the reward?"

The mechanical voice of the positive energy system rang in Chu Xiu's mind.
