The second year of Tianquan, August.
July and August are the rainy season, and the land of Koto, which has not yet come out of the rainy season, is full of gloomy skies and downpours, and the land under the heavy rain is a muddy swampy land, even Jinling Castle is no exception.
Although the construction of Jinling is the most advanced construction in the world, and the construction of underground waterways is very standard, but now the water level of the rivers around the city is rising, and even the water level of the Qinhuai River is constantly rising, and the water cannot flow out, and the streets and alleys still accumulate a lot of water, and the water is submerged over the heels.
Forbidden City.
Sun Quan was wearing a golden dragon-patterned brocade robe, wearing a jade crown on his head, and a jade belt around his waist, standing under the corridor, his eyes were a little worried looking at the raindrops that were the size of soybeans falling from the sky: "Flood control every year, disaster every year, this God just can't get used to me Sun Zhong seeking happiness, so he has to find me something to do."
Since ancient times, natural disasters have been the most difficult to stop.
Even in the 1,800-year era, floods in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River have left countless people dead and injured.
Even if the Great Wu Dynasty invested countless manpower and material resources in water conservancy construction every year, it was far from enough to completely stabilize the disaster of the Yangtze River and reduce the damage caused by the flood.
"Grand Canal" Under the heavy rain, Sun Quan muttered three words out of his mouth.
He has always hoped to build a Grand Canal to connect the north and south water conservancy.
However, this project is too big, comparable to the Great Wall, and if he is not careful, he is afraid that he will follow in the footsteps of Emperor Yang of Sui and turn a good thing into a bad thing that will bring disaster to the country and the people, so he must be cautious.
"The Grand Canal must be built, which is very helpful for the future development of Caoyun, but the research institute of the Ministry of Engineering does not know whether it can study cement, if there is cement to build, who must get twice the result with half the effort" Sun Quan wanted to study cement for a long time.
Cement is a necessity for civil engineering.
He knew that the simple way of making cement was nothing more than the proportions of limestone and clay, but it was too difficult to get it in this day and age.
"Your Majesty" At this time, behind Sun Quan, Cao Yang, the first eunuch in the Forbidden Palace, called in a low voice.
"What's the matter" Sun Quan came back from his thoughts and asked indifferently.
"The Cabinet's Kuara-sama and Lusu-sama are here" "Invite them in" Sun Quan knew that the two of them entering the palace at this time was nothing more than a matter of flood relief and disaster relief.
"Ministers Kuailiang Lu Su see Your Majesty" Not long after, Cao Yang walked in with Kuai Liang and Lu Su, and the two saluted respectfully to Sun Quan.
"Aren't you in the disaster relief, how can you have time to enter the palace to see me" Sun Quan turned his head, looked at the somewhat gloomy faces of the two with amber eyes, and suddenly asked in his heart: "The face is so ugly, what happened to the disaster, has the disaster expanded?"
Floods occur every year in Jiangdong, and at this time of year, the cabinet will set up a flood relief team, and this year this group is led by Kuai Liang, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Lu Su, the head of the household department, is responsible for specific matters.
In the past few days, the two of them have been busy with the disaster relief in Jiangdong, and what must have happened to them when they entered the palace at this time.
"Report to Your Majesty, three hours ago, a piece of news came back from Jingzhou, the Chibi embankment established in the Yangtze River basin in Jingzhou collapsed, and the Yangtze River flood overflowed, pouring down, submerging at least 12 cities downstream, and the affected people exceeded 1.8 million people, and the real casualties have not yet been counted, but the situation is not optimistic." rumble Before Lu Su's words could completely fall, Sun Quan slammed his fist on the stone pillar of the corridor next to him, and his handsome face showed a grim haze: "Chibi Embankment, as far as I know, has been established for less than two years, and you tell me now that this embankment has collapsed."
Kuai Liang and Lu Su looked silent and did not dare to speak.
This embankment was a relatively successful project of the Ministry of Industry the year before last, and it was the largest water conservancy project in Jingzhou, but it collapsed in less than two years.
If there are no ghosts in this, let alone Sun Quan, they don't believe it.
The project of tofu residue is not only in modern times, but also in ancient times.
"Cao Yang" Sun Quan was furious and shouted.
"Your Majesty" Cao Yang came quickly.
"Tell Zhang Hong and Liu Ye to meet immediately" "No" Cao Yang held the Buddha dust and took quick steps to convey Sun Quan's order.
"You two come in with me" "Yes" Sun Quan was not in the mood to see the beautiful rain scene in the sky at this time, so he strode into the imperial study on the side of the palace corridor with Kuai Liang and Lu Su.
"Your Majesty" "Your Majesty" Xu Shu and Guo Jia in the imperial study were dealing with a number of military and political recitals with a few staff officers in the imperial study, and when they saw Sun Quan coming in, they hurriedly saluted.
"You're busy with yours" "Yes" Hearing Sun Quan's tone a little gloomy, Xu Shu and Guo Jia felt a slight chill in their hearts, and hurriedly lowered their heads to do their work, and they didn't look at Kuai Liang and Lu Su.
As the left and right staff officers who have accompanied Sun Quan for many years, the two of them know Sun Quan's temper well, Sun Quan at this time must not be provoked, whoever dares to provoke will die.
"Zirou, what is the reaction of the cabinet on this matter" Sun Quan, as the king of a country, although he was angry, he had already developed an iron heart, quickly calmed down, looked at Kuai Liang and asked.
"After the cabinet received the news, it immediately convened a meeting, Zhang Zhao Shoufu has already ordered, the cabinet does not care about other things, and does not care about the cause of this project, what we have to do is to make every effort to relieve the disaster, and if we can save one, it is one" "You made the right decision" When Sun Quan heard this, he thought about it, nodded in approval, and then turned his head to look at Lu Su: "Zijing, how much money can the household department squeeze out?"
"One million silver dollars," Lu Su said.
"So little" Sun Quan frowned slightly when he heard this.
The economy of the Great Wu Dynasty is rising, so prices are also soaring, and one million silver dollars was a huge amount of money three years ago, but now, I am afraid it will be difficult to bear such a big disaster to rebuild.
"Your Majesty, it's not that our household department is slamming the door, it's really our consumption in the past two years is too great, under the continuous war, the taxes controlled by the household department are simply beyond their means, if it weren't for the support of the Ministry of Commerce and Dawu Qianzhuang, the treasury would have been empty, the Northern Xinjiang campaign had stopped, and the military aircraft department would submit a casualty report in September, and the pension would be issued at the end of the year, which was also a lot of money" Lu Su said with a wry smile.
The household is not easy to do, the Great Wu Imperial Court is not without money, tax income, national debt income, commercial income, are very stable, and the tax income of the Han Dynasty has long been surpassed, but the stalls of the Great Wu Imperial Court are too big.
The treasury is running deficits almost every year.
"Less is less, one money is broken and two are used, in recent years, Jingzhou businessmen have developed well, Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce and Changsha Chamber of Commerce are registered in the Ministry of Commerce, find a way to turn the fate out of a little bit."
Sun Quan sighed, the life of the family is not easy, such a big family business, everywhere needs money, but how can he give birth to money "Yes" Lu Su nodded, the merchant area in Jingzhou is developing very rapidly, and he has already wrestled with Jiangdong merchants, so he should be able to scrape out some oil and water.
"This time the town disaster, Zirou, you go in person, you are originally a Jingzhou person, you have a high reputation in Jingzhou, when necessary, you can win over those old immortals in Jingzhou to come out and slip away, don't be polite to them, although they don't serve the imperial court, but they still have compassion for the heavens and people, they can suppress people's hearts" Sun Quan instructed him.
"Obey the Order" Kuai Liang nodded, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

The old immortal in Sun Quan's mouth is naturally Pang Degong, Sima Wei, Huang Chengyan, these Jingzhou Confucians.
These old guys and Sun Quan are at odds with each other, they have always had a great opinion of Sun Quan, it should be that when Sun Quan entered Jingzhou, the killing was too great, Sun Quan also wanted to squeeze their surplus labor several times, and deigned to invite them to go out of the mountain and enter the court three times and twice, but they just didn't agree, and they have been nesting in Lumen Mountain.
But Sun Quan couldn't coerce them.
Their protégés were all over the imperial court.
Not to mention the talents of Lumen Mountain Academy who have taken the imperial examination in recent years, they are the two great Tianjiao of Lumen Mountain back then, the three Yingjie, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Shi Tao, Meng Jian, and Cui Jun, who are now the pillars of the military and political affairs in the imperial court.
Sun Quan really can't help these old guys.
However, although they did not enter the court as officials, but in the name of their three major sacrificial wines in Lumen Mountain, their protégés are all over the world, and their prestige is higher than that of some governors of Jingzhou.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Yushi and Liu Shangshu are coming" At this time, Zhang Hong and Liu Ye came in a hurry, and looking at the somewhat gloomy and blue faces of the two of them, Sun Quan knew that they might have received the matter of the Chibi Embankment.
They do already know.
It's all over the world, how can they not know?
"Sit" Sun Quan looked at the two of them, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"Minister, don't dare" The two of them were beating drums in their hearts and arched their hands.
"You don't dare" Sun Quan was furious: "What else do you dare not dare, Zhang Zigang, your Yushitai is a dry meal, Liu Ziyang, if the Ministry of Industry does not give me an explanation and Dawu in this matter, you will be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and you will roll down to me." syllable Liu Ye was drenched in cold sweat, his legs were weak, and he knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister is not strict with the Ministry of Industry, and the crime deserves death."
"Liu Ziyang, you have always been my most important minister, I believe in you very much, I will ask you, do you have a part in this matter" Sun Quan's voice condensed a strong killing intent.
The current plate of the Great Wu Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, the same rice raises hundreds of people, and the court can still maintain a clean and honest atmosphere, but all the demons and monsters below have come out, and there are no fish when the water is clear, and it is inevitable that some are a little smaller, but Sun Quan never wants Liu Ye and other humerus ministers to be hit by red-clothed cannonballs.
"Your Majesty, the minister promises that the minister will never live up to His Majesty's expectations and the laws of the imperial court," Liu Ye said loudly.
"Very good" When Sun Quan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, he still believed Liu Ye's, his eyes looked at Zhang Hong: "Zigang, this matter Yu Shitai immediately set up an independent team to investigate to the end, find out who I am, kill me, if I can't kill a hundred, I will kill a hundred directly, and kill them until their hearts are broken." ” Sun Quan killed Jinling City back then, and the whole world knew that Sun Quan couldn't tolerate greed.
Greed is an original sin.
Original sin is human nature, which cannot be eradicated, but he will never allow the original sin of greed to ferment above the court, and it must be suppressed, and no signs are allowed.
"Yes" Zhang Hong's eyes condensed with a cold killing intent.
"Go down, you all go down, this matter must be taken care of" Sun Quan looked at the four of them and said, "I never want the city to be full of wind and rain at this time to shake the hearts of the people who have just stabilized the imperial court."
"No" The four of them received the order, rushed out, and left the imperial study with some hurried steps.
"Yuan Zhi, Feng Xiao" "Your Majesty" The two walked out of their respective desks and walked forward, standing respectfully in front of Sun Quan.
"Sit down" "Yes," the two sat down on the left and right.
"You all heard what happened just now, what do you think?"
asked Sun Quan expressionlessly.
For Xu Shu and Guo Jia, Sun Quan will ask for their opinions on the military and political side.
One person counts the long, and two people counts.
It is impossible for Sun Quan to recruit a large group of people to discuss every thing he decides, but for the two generals around him, he naturally has no scruples about using it.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is not an individual matter, it should be a wake-up call, the world is unified, there is no war, the imperial court decree is clear, and it also encourages private merchants to vigorously develop the economy, many people live a good life, even in the imperial court, money can no longer be despised anymore, they have forgotten the previous hard days, and have become greedy and insufficient" Guo Jia was silent, not that he didn't say it, but he didn't think about how to say it, he was only a monk halfway, and he only knew a little bit about the Great Wu Imperial Court, and he was not yet fully familiar with it, and he couldn't conclude many things, but Xu Shu was different, he was the patriarch of the rise of Eastern Wu back then, and he knew more about the Great Wu Imperial Court than anyone else, he considered it and said: "If you can't suppress this atmosphere, I'm afraid that the development of the imperial court will not be enough in the future."
"Hmm" Sun Quan nodded: "Then how should I suppress this atmosphere?"
"Rigidity and softness" This time it was Guo Jia who spoke, and he agreed with Xu Shu's point of view, and he also vaguely felt something: "Your Majesty, when we make an example of a hundred, I am afraid that we still need to improve the wealth of officials, wealth is moving, and most of the wealth can be suppressed, so we have to make them richer."
"There is a reason for this" Sun Quan's eyes were deep, and his thoughts stirred: "I will think about this matter carefully."
After speaking, he was not entangled in this matter, and changed the topic: "The battle of the grassland is over, and the next thing is to assimilate the Xiongnu tribes by gentle means, and I have decided to establish a grassland special administrative state in Wuyuan County, Shuofang County, plus Shentuze Grassland, Yuan Zhi, how about you go to be this governor" "Me" Xu Shu was a little surprised.
"Why, I don't want to" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes.
"Your Majesty's order, how dare the minister disrespect" Xu Shu calmed down and said: "But I have been focusing on the strategy of the military advisor before, and I suddenly transferred the administration, will it?"
"No confidence," Sun Quan interrupted.
"The grassland special administrative prefecture is the key used by His Majesty to completely destroy the Xiongnu from the roots, and the minister is afraid of ruining His Majesty's major affairs" "It's because of the importance of this matter that I chose you" Sun Quan said: "The situation on the grassland is different, it is difficult for ordinary people to control, I want the Huns to surrender, but the means can not be excessive, after all, the Huns still have millions of people, I don't want the grassland to fight again, and I don't trust Jia Xu very much, he has the ability, but he is very deep-minded, I can't figure it out, maybe he will serve Dawu, maybe he is playing an idea that I don't know, I hope that after you get to the grassland, join forces with him, without his help, you will not be able to achieve great things, but you also have to keep an eye on him, do you understand" "Jia Xu" When Guo Jia heard this name, his heart throbbed a little, but his face was very calm, his eyes looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Minister, never live up to His Majesty's expectations" Xu Shu's trust in Sun Quan had a touch of excitement about the death of a confidant, nodded heavily, and agreed.
"Get rid of the things you have in hand as soon as possible and go north in September" Sun Quan instructed.
He doesn't have much time to prepare, next year the western battlefield will definitely continue to break out into a big war, and the battle with the Roman Empire has begun to start a real battle, he must devote all his heart to the affairs of the Central Plains, to be solved as soon as possible, especially the affairs of the steppe.
"Your Majesty, the position of the staff officer of the imperial study" Xu Shu glanced at Guo Jia.
In his heart, Guo Fengxiao is too dangerous, he is not only a person who decides to be smart, but also definitely a slanderer, just leaving him alone by Sun Quan's side, he is very uneasy, afraid that he doesn't know when Sun Quan will suffer from this slanderous minister's rhetoric.
"I have ordered that Zhuge Jin, the governor of Shuzhou, return to the imperial court and take over your position" Sun Quan said lightly.
"Zhuge Jin" A glint flashed in the depths of Guo Jia's eyes.

Emperor Sun Quan's power has been perfected, and he will never allow himself to dominate the imperial study alone, so after Xu Shu leaves, this Zhuge Jin is the opponent he arranged for himself. t1706231537:
