Chapter 156: I Didn't Lie to You


"Your Majesty, in the past few days, the small people have completed the measurement of the Jing River, which is a tributary of the Weishui River, and the water source is sufficient, but the terrain is relatively low-lying.

On the bank of the Jing River, a master craftsman will come to Liu Xie's side and smile bitterly.

"Master Pu is a master of this way, in your opinion, how to act, as for the cost, don't worry, no matter how hard it is, I can't let my people starve to death due to drought."

Liu Xie looked at the Jinghe River in front of him.

"Your Majesty, please see."

Master Na Pu bowed down and led Liu Xie to a sand table that had already been made, which was made by these great craftsmen and almost included a radius of 100 miles around Chang'an City.

"I Chang'an area, the fertile land will be the west side of the city, but if you want to attract the water of the Jing River for irrigation, you have to pass through this mountain, the minister estimates, at least eight giant keel cars are needed to pull the water of the Jing River uphill, and then dig a canal from the top of the mountain, straight to here, and then take this as the base to irrigate the Quartet, but in this way, this project alone, even if the manpower is sufficient, it will take a year, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up with this year's spring ploughing."

Master Pu looked at Liu Xie and smiled bitterly.

"Then is there any other way" Liu Xie frowned and said, he is not afraid of labor, it really can't be done, the army is on the same page, as for the money and grain, just like last year, in the way of work for relief, you can always make up enough, but this year's time, Liu Xie can't wait, according to several old farmers, this year is the year of the great drought, the grain and grass stocks in the DPRK and China are about to bottom out, and it is impossible to get more grain and grass to feed the more than 2 million people in Guanzhong.

"This method can be blessed in future generations, if it can be successful, this fertile soil in Chang'an, whether the wind and rain are smooth or not, is enough to harvest every year."

Master Pu said: "There is another way, maybe it will be easier, but it will be more labor-intensive."

"Speak" "Whoa."

Master Pu bowed slightly, took a wooden branch, dotted eight points on the sand table, and drew eight lines: "Your Majesty can also dig eight tributaries of the Jing River from these eight places, so that the eight waters, around Chang'an, the people can cultivate the fields, and they can easily attract water from these eight tributaries for irrigation, and in terms of feng shui, if the tributary that the minister said before can be opened, it will be the pilgrimage of Kowloon." ” "The master still understands feng shui," Liu Xie asked with a smile.

"My Chinese civilization comes from the theory of the five elements of yin and yang, and this craftsman must also pay attention to feng shui."

Master Pu explained with a smile.

"Pilgrimage to Kowloon."

Liu Xie nodded and said: "Yes, but a year is too long, if these eight tributaries want to start, I don't know how long it will take."

"If the manpower and material resources are sufficient, it will be enough in three months, but the manpower consumed is ten times higher than what Xiaomin said before."

Master Pu bowed and said.

"Ten times," Liu Xie frowned.

"Not bad."

Master Pu said at the seventy-two places where the water flow converges on the sand table: "Your Majesty can order people to start digging from these seventy-two intersection points at the same time, connect them with these fulcrums, and then start construction at the same time along the way, and finally collude with Jingshui, although the manpower consumption is too large, but if it goes well, you can catch up with spring ploughing." ” Ten times more According to what Master Pu said, at this time, I am afraid that 300,000 or even more people will have to be requisitioned, and the current population of Chang'an City alone is definitely not enough, and this is only Chang'an, 800 miles of fertile soil in Qinchuan, only Chang'an is not enough, but if you want to irrigate this Qinchuan, the amount of water in this Jing River alone is probably not enough.

"Within three days, I will ask for the construction rules."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xie looked at Master Pu and said in a deep voice.

"Huh" Master Pu hurriedly received the order.

Liu Xie waved his hand and asked Master Pu and a group of craftsmen to study how to start the work, the enemy he had to face now was not any princes along the way, but God, time was too important for Liu Xie.

Master Pu and others went to study, and Liu Xie began to ask a group of old farmers what other needs they needed for cultivation besides water sources, and he wanted to improve agricultural productivity, and he had to further understand these things.

In his own era, living in the city, he has long been out of touch with these things, he lived for 30 years in his last life, Liu Xie belongs to the kind of person who can't distinguish between wheat and leeks, he naturally doesn't really want to be a farmer, but he hopes to improve productivity and bring some advanced concepts of later generations to this era.

Hybrid rice or something, you don't have to think about it, it's not realistic, but just to improve some work efficiency, so as to improve the yield may not be impossible.

"Your Majesty is worried about a big drought this year" Near noon, Liu Xie finally stopped asking and let everyone disperse, Guo Jia stood beside Liu Xie, accompanied Liu Xie to look at the surging river, and asked.

"I don't want God's mercy anymore."

Liu Xie nodded: "Maybe it's really going to kill me this day, but I won't sit still." ” When Guo Jia heard this, he didn't speak, but his eyes flashed with a little approval, such a forge ahead, not afraid of difficulties, is a qualified king, at least Liu Xie's current performance makes him satisfied, as for the will of heaven, so what "I am not afraid of natural disasters, nor am I afraid of the princes of the world, but what I am most worried about is the hearts of the people."

Liu Xie sighed: "The heart of the family, the heart of the army, the heart of the people, the trade-off, it is really difficult to grasp, and now there are continuous natural disasters, if I lose this heart, I really don't know how long I can keep this big Han country."

Guo Jia opened his mouth, looked at Liu Xie's not tall back, and couldn't help but sigh bitterly in his heart, now the burden on Liu Xie's body, or for a teenager who has just turned eleven, is really too heavy.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Majesty may be thinking too far. ” "Maybe."

Liu Xie nodded, turned his head to look at Guo Jiadao: "Cash-for-work is not omnipotent, the imperial court has no food, Hansheng and Zilong want to triumph, I am afraid that it will not be visible in a short time, and now it seems that I will lose the hearts of the people." ” What he said was a little cold, but Liu Xie now has no other way.

Just as Liu Xie and the others were about to return to the palace, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, followed by Tai Shici's angry shouts.

"It's the Huns."

Guo Jia glanced at it, shook his head, looked at Liu Xie and said with a smile: "I was unfortunate by the minister again." ” "Check it out."

Liu Xie nodded, and took Guo Jia, Niu Geng and Wei Zhong forward, and saw Hu Chuquan and a group of Hun warriors fighting with the guards brought by Tai Shici.

"Don't stop yet" Liu Xie took a deep breath and shouted.

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, the crescent halberd in his hand slapped horizontally, shaking Hu Chu Spring open, if it weren't for the identity of the other party's envoy, with Tai Shi Ci's ability, only this blow would be enough to make Hu Chu Spring disemboweled, but after all, the other party was a Hun envoy, Tai Shi Ci did not kill him, but just shook the other party back with the halberd rod of the crescent halberd, and at the same time gave an order, a group of guards quickly retreated and protected Liu Xie.

"Hu Chuquan, what are you doing" Liu Xie frowned and looked at several guards with blue noses and swollen faces, his eyes were cold, and he shouted.

"Your Majesty."

Hu Chuquan suppressed his anger, looked at Liu Xie, and said in a deep voice: "I, the Huns, sent me here to wait for me, I came with great sincerity, hoping to marry the Han, even if Your Majesty does not allow it, why bother to deceive me" "How do you say that," Liu Xie said with a blank expression.

"Your Majesty" Hu Chuquan's eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire: "Xiao Wang has heard that Princess Wansheng, there is no such person at all, Your Majesty simply wants to pick a random woman to marry my family Shan Yu, this kind of action is really a great insult to my Xiongnu Shan Yu" "Who said that there is no such person, and who told you this," Liu Xie raised his eyelids lazily.

"Yes" Hu Chuquan looked at Liu Xie uncertainly: "In short, it is what you said in the court, Your Majesty doesn't need to ask more, I am a Hun son, and I am the most righteous." ” "It's a good thing to be angry, but sometimes, don't be used as a gunman" Liu Xie shook his head helplessly: "According to you, no matter which princess I let to marry at that time, I will be deceiving you." ” "This," Hu Chuquan choked when he heard this.

"I use this to deceive you, what good is it for me" Liu Xie shook his head, and looked at Hu Chuquan with an expression that you had been tricked on: "If I really don't want to be close, and I have already deployed heavy troops on the straight road, you have 100,000 male soldiers, and you can't get out of the straight road, and it will cost you money and food, I just don't want you and my friends to meet each other in the end, resulting in the misery of the two states, no matter who wins in the end, there is no benefit to you and me." ” "Taking a step back, even if I really pick out a woman to marry, in name, she is still the princess of the Han Dynasty, representing my Han royal family, what's the difference?"

"Naturally, there is a difference."

Hu Chuquan said in a muffled voice, but he couldn't tell where the difference was.

"Well, if there is a difference, go and call the person who told you this, and I can confront him face to face."

Liu Xie waved his hand and said loudly: "Princess Wansheng, there is indeed someone, Nai's aunt, Nian Fang is twenty-eight, the daughter of King Qinghe, her name is Liu Fei, and there are people on the family tree, how can I lie to you" The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched a few times on the side, there is indeed a person, but when Xu You and others plotted to assassinate the first emperor, this person also participated and was assigned to the frontier, so Liu Fei had already died halfway, as for the princess, Liu Xie is the emperor, just give her a posthumous seal.

Looking at Liu Xie, who swore and spoke righteously, Hu Chuquan was a little stunned when he was bluffed, who is lying to me "King Xian, I don't know who is harboring evil intentions, trying in vain to provoke the friendship between you and me, but you have really been deceived, otherwise you let that person come to confront me, you have your own conclusion, if he is unwilling, then such people, King Xian should be careful, after all, the Xiongnu is my Han vassal country, I miss and the friendship between the two families, but in this court, there are many people who do not want to see the friendship between the two families."

Liu Xie patted Hu Chuquan's shoulder and said earnestly.

"This" Hu Chuquan was sent away by Liu Xie in a little dazed, until he returned to the post house, his mind was still a mess, who was lying to himself, no, go to him first and ask. t1706231537:
