Chapter 873

The green clothed girl revealed a faint smile and calmly said, "The reason why the Wei River bursts every year is because there is more and more silt in the river and the river becomes narrower and narrower. Even if the dam is strengthened, it can't keep up with the speed of silting up the river. If we trace the source, we should start from the source of the Wei River."

"Start from the source? How? "Mo Chuan still did not look at her.

She raised a finger and counted, "The Wei River's source is west of the Guan Nan River. That place is sandy soil and the silt has been lost, so to cure the Wei River's flood, the first step is to plant large amounts of trees at the source of the Wei River. The tree roots have the effect of stabilizing the soil and reducing the silt loss, so it will greatly reduce the silting up of the river. The second step is to build a reservoir at the upstream of the Wei River and use a dam to block the water. Then during the dry season, the people on both sides of the Wei River won't die from a lack of water. This is killing two birds with one stone. The third step is to clear the silt in the river and dig a deeper river. As long as these three steps are done, I believe that solving the Wei River's flood and the Guan Nan River's drought will not be a difficult matter. "

Not a difficult matter?

Everyone couldn't help sucking in a breath through their teeth as they stared at her with wide eyes.

They could not understand where this young girl's confidence came from! Even the emperor and the ministers of the court were helpless against this problem, but when it came from her mouth, it actually became easy?

Seeing the green clothed girl speak with bright eyes, it was as if she had a card up her sleeve.

But this was a flood and drought that had plagued the Guan Nan River's citizens for decades, how could it be solved so easily!

Even Empress Dowager Zhou was a bit uncertain like this.

She didn't know a single thing about river management. Hearing the green clothed girl's words that she didn't understand, like "sandy soil", "silt loss", and what "reservoir".

What was this reservoir?

Empress Dowager Zhou was filled with doubts, but she didn't show it on her face at all. Instead she turned to look at Mo Chuan with a faint smile.

"Emperor, do you think this girl's method will be useful? How are they compared to those learned scholars in the imperial court? "

Mo Chuan's chin tightened as his dark eyes stared at the green clothed girl's face. This was the first time he was looking at this girl.

Hearing Empress Dowager Zhou's words, his expression was a bit unnatural as he turned around and casually said, "It's just paper strategizing. This little girl doesn't have any experience, treating this flood and drought like child's play. If it was this easy to solve, then wouldn't the ministers in this one's court be freeloaders?"

"Year year by year, there will be floods every year. Aren't they all?" Empress Dowager Zhou was filled with anger as she said this.

Mo Chuan was instantly speechless. He looked at Empress Dowager Zhou, "Mother, what do you mean? Do you really want me to send this lass to control the river? "
