In the study, Yang Nianci danced and spoke impassionedly for a long time.

“… So be it. ”

Uncle Yu was stupid when he heard this, and wiped his sweaty hands on his knees, and felt that his palms were sweaty again.

Old Man Yu half-squinted, as if he was settled.

Cousin Yu Mu Ran pushed the tea cup towards Yang Nianci.

Yang Nianci took it up and drank it all proudly, not caring about the tea being cold and breathing.

"Xi'er, you mean... Dig a big river to divert water from the south of the Yangtze River to the north? ”

"Yes, so that the rain in the south can flow down the river to the north, and it can also alleviate the drought in the north."

Uncle Yu asked with difficulty: "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Yang Nianci touched his head and asked tentatively, "No one has ever done this?" ”

She didn't know anything about the history of this era except folk tales, and she never took the initiative to ask if she was afraid of showing timidity, has there been no artificial river here?

Uncle Yu sighed: "I have also studied local chronicles in the local area, as you said, it is not impossible to dig rivers by manpower, but they are all digging rivers around big rivers to divert water to irrigate farmland, and naturally it is not long." From Nantong to the north, hehe..."I never dreamed of it."

Cousin Yu said timidly: "I think what my cousin said is very reasonable..."

He was glared at by his father and stopped talking.

Yang Nianci also felt embarrassed, this is not the first life when there were all kinds of advanced tools, surveying, positioning, excavation, here are all working with one hand, when do you have to dig?

Yang Nianci couldn't help but be deflated.

Old Man Yu said: "If it is really feasible, the merit is in the future." ”

Uncle Yu smiled bitterly: "Such a big project, I'm afraid that it will be done behind my son..."

Yang Nianci rolled his eyes and proposed: "What if the route is set first, and all places are excavated at the same time?" ”

Uncle Yu thought about it and smiled bitterly: "How many people do you need?" Recruiting people in the surrounding area? If agriculture is not wasted, the treasury will be empty. ”

Can the emperor be happy?

Yang Nianci thought, it seems that Emperor Yang of Sui also caused public resentment because of the excavation of the canal, right?

It's really hard to do.

Cousin Yu looked at the faces of his grandfather and father, and said cautiously: "It's not a hurry to dig it up in a year or two, what if it's to recruit people every year..."

Uncle Yu glared at him: "Leisure? How much free time can farmers have when they watch the sky and eat? Besides, it is better to go to the wasteland when you have free time. ”

Cousin Yu was not convinced: "Dad, I don't know." To open up the wasteland, you must first buy land for the Yamen's silver, and you have to pay taxes before you can raise it. How many farmers are willing to go to the wasteland? ”

After paying the tax grain, and then leaving the family's rations, and changing the daily needs of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, clothing, chickens and ducks, how much money can be left? Can you still buy wasteland? You must know that the first three years of the wasteland are tax-free, but you can't bear to grow much in the ground. It's finally ripe, and it's time to start paying taxes and grains again. Therefore, whenever there is money to spare, most of them buy cooked land.

Yang Nianci listened to Cousin Yu's words, but he had a vague idea in his heart.

"The imperial court doesn't pay people?"

Yang Nianci is really not familiar with these things.

Uncle Yu was happy: "Give money? Give a few copper plates a day, it's still a good year. Most of them are forcibly conscripted. ”

Yang Nianci hesitated and asked, "What if we pay them?" Well, for example... Tax-free? Or... Wasteland? Given for nothing? ”

Uncle Yu frowned and pondered when he heard this.

Old man Yu said at this time: "A good thing is a good thing, if it can really be dug through, not to mention solving the irrigation of farmland on both sides of the strait, it can also open up the transportation of goods to the north and south, and drive the economy." It's just that it's too big... First of all, the route is determined, where to draw water, which state capitals to pass through, and which regions to lead to... And then how to excavate, who is responsible, how to recruit people... If it really happens, I'm afraid I'll have to set up a special yamen at that time... When it comes to the economy, things are even more complicated..."

Yang Nianci was dizzy when he heard it, how did Emperor Yang of Sui do it back then?

Uncle sighed: "First of all, the route is fixed, you need a detailed topographic map of the north and south, since you want to lead to the north, when you go from south to north, you need to be high in the terrain from the bottom to the bottom, and you have to have a talent who is familiar with the landform... This comprehensive topographic map of the north and south is only..."

The emperor in the palace has it. This damn thing is forbidden to be privately owned.

Old man Yu first praised Yang Nianci: "Cherish your children, and the heart of the people and the country is worthy of praise." ”

Yang Nianci smiled shyly: "It's not me, it's Kang'er's father who talked to me, and I was embarrassed to tell my grandfather, so I was allowed to come." ”

Old Man Yu knew it in his heart, so he said, how could the previous Xi'er think about these major events of the country, even if he forgot the past, it was impossible to have such a big transformation, right?

He said to his son: "You can't make your own decisions about this matter, you have to find someone to discuss it to see if it's feasible before mentioning it." ”

Uncle Yu was stunned, did his father really think that his niece's whimsy could work?

Yang Nianci is in a hurry, now there is no Ministry of Works, is his uncle going to find Old Man Qiu?

"Let's discuss it with Duan Xiang."

Old Man Yu didn't see his granddaughter who was relieved, he thought that most of the officials in the DPRK and China were in the queue, and no matter which side raised a sign, it would definitely cause some turmoil. Son-in-law Duan Xiang is a person of today, and he will not be involved in partisan disputes.

Old Man Yu pondered again and instructed: "Don't spread today's events. If Duan Xiang said that he couldn't do it, he would rot it in his stomach and never mention it again. ”

He also specifically instructed Yang Nianci: "Xi'er tell Jun'er, don't leak the news." ”

This matter works well, it is convenient for the country and the people, and if it is not good, I am afraid that it will be left for 10,000 years.

Yang Nianci should be down.

"Why are you pushing everything on my head?"

Regulus was a little angry.

At the beginning, the secret recipe for giving birth to a child was pushed on his head, and Xuanyuan was quite happy, thinking about pulling this woman to quickly have a few more when his identity could be revealed. But now it's such a big deal?

Yang Nianci shouted with a weak heart: "Can't you? ”

Xuanyuan closed his eyes angrily, and said helplessly: "It's not no, what do you want to do in the future, can you discuss with me first." It's too big for your man to hold onto. You are in a hurry to shake out, what if something happens, I can't protect you? ”

Xuanyuan, who was a little bastard, knew with his toes that if this matter really entered the eyes of the emperor, it would be another change! As the initiator of the matter, whether it is himself or Yang Nianci, he must be standing in the storm nest.

Yang Nianci was puzzled and asked, "Is it so serious?" ”

Xuanyuan glared at her: "A natural disaster caused those two to bite like this." You say, this has a chance to live on forever, isn't it more dog-eat-dog? The one who didn't fish for the good one had to work hard to let the good one stink for 10,000 years? ”

Yang Nianci was scared later, as if... She was too rash.

Crying with a sad face: "What should I do?" ”

Xuanyuan glared at her angrily: "Cold salad." Fortunately, you still have a little brain to tell the Yu family, and Grandpa Yu only asked your uncle to discuss with your father. Let me tell you, if there is really any wind leaking, you should quickly pack up and run away with me. ”

Yang Nianci nodded seriously: "Where are we going?" To the Western Regions or to the sea? I'm going to get ready. ”

Xuanyuan was speechless for a while, how could he have the courage to toss blindly and not have the courage to end up?

How did he know that Yang Nianci was afraid that this matter would lead to a fight between the two princes, and then bring death to himself.

Soon, Duan Xiang came to the door, and when he came in, he glared at Yang Nianci for a long time before he said helplessly: "Didn't Dad let you take care of your mouth?" ”

Yang Nianci was stared at with a weak heart, and his eyes slipped around.

It's a pity that the nurses have already been retired, and Xiao Yangkang has also been taken away. Duan Xiang was annoyed with her, and Xuanyuan was willing to watch a good show.

Yang Nianci pouted and decided to lead the trouble: "It was Yang Jun's idea..."

The corners of Xuanyuan's mouth froze.

The corners of Duan Xiang's eyes jumped: "When everyone else is like you, it's unreliable?" ”

Yang Nianci was anxious: "Why is digging a Grand Canal unreliable?" ”

Duan Xiang sighed: "That river is good, but the people who do this are afraid that they will leave a lifetime of infamy." ”

Yang Nianci stopped talking, and understood what his father meant, you must know that Emperor Yang of Sui still requisitioned millions of migrant laborers on the premise of integrating many river sections, and it took several years to complete it, who knows how many white bones were laid at the bottom of the river? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went south to the south to have fun, and people don't care about reputation, but it's different today. Otherwise, how could last year's flood be like that?

It seems like... I had a bad idea.

Yang Nianci was uneasy: "Dad, why don't you forget about it?" ”

Duan Xiang was noncommittal and asked her, "How did you figure this out?" Isn't there some inexplicable premonition? ”

Yang Nianci laughed dryly, where did he get the premonition: "It's just a hurry, when it comes to the lack of books in the Ministry of Industry..."

Duan Xiang realized: "You are worried about your uncle..."

The tone is a little sour, you haven't bothered so much for your father, right?

Yang Nianci didn't follow: "Yes, my uncle is my own person." But, Dad, what I want more is to pull Old Man Qiu down, he's not your rival. ”

Duan Xiang was speechless, the girl's action was big.

"Thank you so much. Nothing else? Duan Xiang didn't believe it.

Yang Nianci said in a cut voice: "At first, it was a convenient planting, I really didn't mean anything else." Later, didn't you see him at the Lantern Festival last year? As soon as he came up, he looked for me. Dad, you say, I have no grievances with him, can he commit it? His granddaughter, Concubine Qiu, also couldn't get along with me as soon as they met..."

"That's it?" Duan Xiang still didn't believe it, and this girl's heart was also small.

Yang Nianci didn't speak, her heart was really not big.

Duan Xiang sighed, and said this, in fact, he didn't want the Yu family to be promoted, his daughter was a friendly person, but... Can you take care of your father first!

Xuanyuan saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, and coughed: "Father-in-law, do you think this matter is feasible?" ”

Duan Xiang looked at him coldly and nodded: "Okay, why not, your father-in-law and I just need to leave a name in the history books." ”

Yang Nianci pulled her father's sleeve: "Then you let Old Man Qiu do it." ”

Duan Xiang sighed: "Stupid, the emperor will not hand over this matter to any one of the princes." ”

Otherwise, the two princes will climb together, and it will be a big project that affects the people's livelihood, and it is not the common people below who will suffer?

"You've done your uncle a terrible blow." (To be continued.) )
