Sishui is the last slightly larger tributary on the southern bank of the Yellow River. From here to the estuary, the southern bank area in the lower reaches of the Yellow River begins to belong to the Huaihe River and Jishui River Basin.

As the second largest river in China, the lower reaches of the Yellow River is a bit incredible to look at. In fact, it is inserted between the Huai River and the Hai River. In addition, the Ji River in the middle of the two rivers, there is actually no room for a large river like the Yellow River to join in this area.

Therefore, in history, the Yellow River either seized the Huai River into the sea or the Hai River into the sea. Nine disasters in ten years were normal. In Xuping's previous life, he finally captured the Ji River into the sea, and even the Ji River basin shrank. The lower reaches of the Yellow River, the basin was bounded by the Yellow River embankment, the north of the embankment was the Hai River basin, and the south of the embankment was the Huai River basin, and the Yellow River basin was limited to the embankment.

Under such circumstances, the control of the Yellow River must actually be considered in a comprehensive way, otherwise everything can only be temporary measures. This era is a rare period of extreme weather in history, with uneven floods and floods almost every year. Often, the previous year is bizarrely hot, and the second year is bizarrely cold, and the previous year is bizarrely fighting and disaster relief, and the next year is a year of severe drought and many disasters.

In this sense, the small river of Sishui is of great significance to the Yellow River. No matter what the point is, after passing here, the Yellow River has truly entered the downstream from Biankou, which is not far from here.

However, in this era, Wang Yan didn't know these things even more, and he didn't focus on them. He had been in control of water in Hebei for several years and was not entirely due to the ignorance and jealousy of officials in the capital. Another important problem lies with Wang Yan himself. He did not plan the canal on Hebei Road. Basically, when others mentioned it, he thought it was probably good and he continued to do things. Report to the capital city, where I came from. As for why the canal was opened, what effect it was to achieve, and what practical application was, Wang Yan didn't know at all.

It is really hard to transfer him as a water management expert to investigate the river channel with Xu Ping. He has opened so many channels on Hebei Road, and he has never surveyed in such detail, and he doesn't know how to do it.

The sun in the sky is so vicious that there are cicadas in the fields screaming desperately. Without a trace of wind, the whole world seems to have solidified. The heat waves are tumbling between the sky and the earth, and there is nowhere to hide.

How can the king's edge be able to walk in this kind of weather? A few strong men were found in Sishui County, and they carried him on a chariot, flowing all the way to Sishui County and heading towards Sishui.

Wang Yan wiped sweat on the chariot, while looking at the surrounding mountains and forests, he kept cursing Xu Ping.

He was crazy about gaining something, and he had to build a waterway that led Luo into Bian. This kind of ghost weather made him suffer. I remember how simple it was to open a canal on Hebei Road back then. Just listen to the river where there is and how much land it can be watered out. With a wave of his hand, he just let the people below dig it out. How could it be so troublesome!

We also have to investigate the terrain, calculate the approximate amount of earth and stone, calculate the number of labor, and calculate the time of excavation. When we heard Xu Ping talk about these kings in the capital, we felt relieved. We had no choice but to do something when we just transferred back to the capital and entered the museum, so we had to come out with a bit of bullet.

The Sishui River originates from Songshan Mountain. The upper reaches pass through the valley, and the middle and lower reaches enter the plain, winding along the foot of Songshan Mountain into the Yellow River. To be honest, the place where the Sishui River flows through is the junction between the mountain area and the plain. Although there are no particularly tall mountains, there are many kinds of earth ridges.

Wang Yan had no idea what he was going to investigate. He left the county town and just urged his followers to rush their way.

Zhang Li and Zhou Bumei, who were transferred from Bajiao Town, were secretly complaining in their hearts. Both of them were deputy envoys. Wang Yan was far inferior to Xu Ping in terms of official positions, positions and titles. Look at Deputy Envoy Xu, when he left the city, he rode his horse and was neatly packed, and took his men and horses to the west. Then he looked at the deputy envoys who followed Wang, complaining on the chariot, and he didn't think about these servants. He couldn't walk fast while sitting in the chariot, so he had to walk along the side, and it felt really uncomfortable to rush to the hot sun.

After Xu Ping arrived in Sanshili for a year, everyone knew that he was generous to others. No matter whether his colleagues were urging others to work, he never had any shortage of food, drink or daily rewards. Look at the deputy envoy of Wang, he worked hard to follow the journey, not only did he not have a half-member reward, but also had to pay money from time to time.

Isn’t it angering to the person? The money you pay can be exploited from the local officials, but when you think about it, you will be unhappy! Following the big guys, everyone thinks about being promoted to make extra money, and even if you pay out the money, it is to collect more money. Where can officials eat chicken today and fish tomorrow to make money?

The two followers were unhappy, and they had to constantly introduce Wang Yan to the chief clerk Cui Zaiping, who was the customs and geography along the way, complained even more. Xu Ping was followed by the county magistrate, and he was assigned to Wang Yan. He didn't expect that he would follow along the side of the celery. It was so hot that it was almost roasting people, and he had to keep talking.

Only the elders and archers who followed around were relaxed and comfortable. A big man came to the village and came to see the world himself. As for the heat, he was nothing, and he was at home. In this kind of weather, he often had to work in the fields.

In addition, Wang Yan always has to eat and drink when he comes out, and these are all entertainments at the local level. The archers who handle the specific arrangements will at least eat wine and meat. In poor places, life with wine and meat is like heaven.

Cui Zaiping looked at the undulating mountains in the west and said to Wang Yan on the chariot: "Second envoy, let's patrol the water conditions of the Sishui River. Should we go to the other side of the river? There is a mountain in the west. Most of the streams that flow into Sishui River are descending from the mountains. There is no river flowing into this side of the river. There is a ferry in front. Should we cross the river?"

Wang Yan was drowsy on the chariot and said lazily after listening to Cui Zaiping's words: "What's so good about it? The mountain roads on the other side of the river are rugged and difficult to walk. You have to wade frequently, so don't go there."

Cui Zaiping agreed to the promise and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, since the deputy envoy of the king didn't want to see, why did he come out and suffer this crime?

How could he know that Wang Yan didn't want to come out at all, and wasn't he forced to do anything by Xu Ping? He went around in the mountains, how could he stay in Sishui County? Moreover, Wang Yan was thinking about Xu Ping's affairs all the way, and he didn't know what he could see, and he was even more absent-minded. To be continued.
