Since Shu Jin came to the big show, it seems that there is a spring flood every year, and in the past two years, there has been a famine every year because of the spring flood and autumn flood.

Last winter, there was a lot of snowfall, and it is expected that this year's spring flood will not be small, so I am afraid that some people will be displaced because of this. The time of spring sowing is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and the winter sowing crops are not yet harvested, and the spring sowing is about to begin, and the food stored in the first winter has also been eaten to the bottom. At this time, there is a spring flood, and even hunger and illness, I am afraid that many people will die. If there are more people dying, it will cause a plague, and these are things that always cause headaches for all officials and people.

In fact, in the long run, water control is a way to benefit the people, and even enrich and strengthen the country. However, there was still a debate in the court.

The benefits of water control are obvious to all, but the reasons for the opposition have already been stated: when the harvest is scarce, it is necessary to deal with the country's inherent expenses and provide relief to the victims, and in such a case, if it is added to the flood control, it will suddenly empty the treasury.

The treasury is empty, and it is very dangerous. If nothing happens, it is fine, but if there is a disaster on the side, or even a situation such as an emergency at the border gates, then there will be no food and grass, no military salary, and the morale of the army will be unstable, and the country will fall into an unprecedented crisis.

The courtiers in the court were blushing every day because of this, but there was still no way to do both for a while, and even the emperor Qi Yan, who could decide all this, was hesitating.

As a prosperous emperor, Qi Yan is ambitious and far-sighted. Someone in the Ministry of Industry gave an excerpt and explained the necessity of water control and the method of water control. Qi Yan was actually quite moved to see it, and controlling the water was a great cause for the benefit of thousands of years. If successful, it will be the most shining achievement of his administration.

But, at the moment, there are real difficulties.

Water control does not mean that you can dig a ditch in a river or dig a pit next to a lake, but from all the water control plans, Qi Yan is the most optimistic about one of the treatment methods. It's to build canals, two, the Grand Canal!

Communicate Xiajiang and Xingjiang. Connecting the Xingjiang River and the Long River! In this way, after the two canals are built, almost all the waters in the territory of the Great Performance can be connected! In this way, it not only solves the drought and flood disasters in various places every year, but also allows the traffic to circulate throughout the country.

Qi Yan can even imagine it. If one day this canal is completed. He will be able to take the building boat and patrol the entire territory of the big show he is in charge of!

As an emperor, who wouldn't want to take a good walk around the territory he ruled and take a look? However, every time he thought about it, the blood boiling in his chest slowly cooled down because he thought about the cost of building the canal.

It would be a huge project that would cost a lot of money, countless manpower, material and financial resources, and it would take several years to complete. Maybe. If one is not done well, this project will drag down the whole show. That's when the time comes. He is the sinner of the ages.

So, in the face of such a choice, not only were the ministers quarreling fiercely, but even Qi Yan was in a dilemma.

When everyone was paying attention to this issue, Shu Jin didn't seem to have anything to do with it, in addition to Guozi's supervision of students, that is, to run her own business. However, when Jiang Cangyun and Jiang Duanyu complained about the people in the court who refused to agree to repair the canal, she also listened quietly.

With Shu Jin's understanding of Jiang Cangyun, he was so eager to repair the canal for some utilitarian reason. Perhaps in Jiang Cangyun's view, this is not only a project for the benefit of the people in future generations, but also an extremely challenging project, so he is eager to try.

In Shu Jin's view, if such a canal has the conditions, of course, it is best to build it, not to mention that many natural disasters can be avoided, but also to communicate with the territory of the Great Performance, so that materials can circulate throughout the country, and the economy of the Great Performance will grow by leaps and bounds, and the entire national strength of the Great Performance will also rise to a higher level.

If one day, this canal is repaired, she can form a caravan to run the waterway, buy from the south and sell from the north, and transfer goods from the east to the west......

"Humph! These guys are used to being pampered on weekdays, and they don't agree to control the water and build the canal, aren't they afraid that the emperor will order them to collect the money and food in their hands? Guys with a lot of eyes! ”

Jiang Cangyun took another sip from the wine cup, he had already drunk a lot, all of which were high-grade wine brought by Shu Jin, at the moment his cheeks were red, and his tongue was a little big, but his thinking was quite clear, but he had a lot of words. For half a day, I listened to him speak indignantly at the dinner table alone.

Jiang Cangyun put down the wine cup, patted Jiang Duanyu on the shoulder, and said:

"Yanfeng, you don't know yet, do you? The big ship you built according to the plan you gave to the Emperor in the first year has been tested, and guess what? ”

As he spoke, he burped, then slapped Jiang Duanyu twice more with a smile, and continued,

"It's done! It became a knowing! With such a ship, we will no longer be afraid of water battles, you know! As long as there is another clever naval army, we can conquer the four seas with a big performance!

The emperor knew about this, and he was also very happy!

It's just a pity that this boat is too big to drive in an ordinary river, but if there is a canal, and then change the structure of this boat a little, Yanfeng, you say, is this a boat that can be driven here directly from the sea? ”

Jiang Duanyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied:

"Yes, yes, but then it wouldn't be a warship. Alternatively, it can be changed to a warship suitable for sailing in inland waters......"

As he spoke, he frowned and thought about it, thinking that it was indeed feasible.

Jiang Cangyun slapped his thigh:

"That's right, if it is changed to the kind of warship you said, and then there is such a canal, if there is a big show in the future, there will be a famine in some place, or even a place where there will be banditry, and then whether it is disaster relief or banditry, the speed is simply ......."

Because of the paralysis of alcohol, he couldn't even think of the right words for a while.

"A thousand miles a day?" Liu said softly.

"Well......" is not hit, but it is not far away.

"Galloping?" Guess one more.

"Well, that's probably what it means." Barely passed.

Liu looked at his father-in-law, like looking at a child, smiling gently. Shu Jin looked at the appearance of Jiang Cangyun and his wife, and couldn't help but laugh.

However, what they said made Shu Jin feel that there were some things that needed to be thought about.

Although Shu Jin has helped many people as much as she can during the famine every year, she is not Guanyin Bodhisattva after all, and it is impossible for her to always help others for free. As for the construction of the canal, she originally planned to hang it up without her own business, but when she thought of the benefits that the canal would bring to business after it was completed, she felt that she should not stand idly by. (To be continued.) )

PS:Recently, it's been two chapters and sent together.,So it looks like a more chapter.,But in fact, the number of words is still 4,000 drops a day.,It's not less.,But it seems to be thought to be lazy......

So split it today and send it once in two chapters?
