"Lord Wang! Should three reservoirs be built at the same time, or should one be built first! Yuwen Rutong asked.

"First repair the Zhulu Reservoir, Li Langzhong has been prepared, start construction from now on, the Zhulu Reservoir can divert water tributaries, and build a small one first, you can accumulate experience!" Zou Yu introduced.

"There is one subordinate who is guaranteed to be promoted, and this person can be compared with Li Langzhong for building houses and water conservancy!" Yuwen Rutong arched his hand and said.

"Who is this person? Where are you now? Zou Yu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

Science and technology is the primary productive force, these days, to find a few creative talents, how difficult. Of course, Zou Yu was unwilling to give up.

"This person's name is He Chou, who used to be a craftsman and a young eunuch, and the mausoleum of Emperor Wen's husband and wife is out of his handwriting! Now I am on my way to Jinyang. Yuwen Rutong introduced.

"Could it be that you introduced you?" Zou Yu asked happily.

"It wasn't recommended by his subordinates, but he sent it to the door himself." Yuwen Rutong said with a smile.

"Could it be that he is with the Empress Dowager all the way, but Dou Jiande will not give up such a talent, could it be Dou Jiande's envoy?" Zou Yu raised his eyebrows and guessed.

"The prince is wise, it is Dou Jiande's envoy." Yuwen Rutong arched his hand and said.

"Haha! Dou Jiande actually let such a talent be a messenger, but it was disrespectful. Zou Yu laughed.

"My subordinates believe that He Chou has seen our development and will be reluctant to leave."

"No, you're wrong, even if he wants to leave, he has to stay!" Zou Yu said resolutely.

"What do you mean, lord?" Yuwen Rutong was startled and asked with wide eyes.

"That's what you think, if you don't stay, you will force him to stay with a knife!" The corners of Zou Yu's mouth lifted.

"But... But he's a messenger! Yuwen Rutong said dumbfounded.

"What messenger? He is a member of the Great Sui Dynasty and escorts the Empress Dowager back to Beijing! How did you become someone else's messenger? Zou Yu asked innocently with wide eyes.

"I... The prince is wise! Yuwen Rutong smiled bitterly and arched his hand and said.

"That's right! Since you are familiar with him, let's go with Pei Shilang. Give him a good introduction and persuade him, after all, it is a little unsightly to be forced to stay. Zou Yu smiled and said happily.

Yuwen Rutong couldn't help but mourn for Dou Jiande, he definitely couldn't have imagined that a simple envoy would lose a very useful talent.

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Yuwen Rutong smiled helplessly.

Although Zou Yu was a bit overbearing in this matter, Yuwen Rutong and the others were very happy, which at least showed that Zou Yu attached great importance to them.

Take his two brothers as an example, with real power, the family is directly prepared, and they really move in. Subordinates, guards, and even Silla maids, Goguryeo, and Turkic women. What's not to be satisfied with?

Speaking of life, it is several times better than before, even the cook has been sent to unified training, not to mention work, there is no pressure, as long as you do the essential work well.

"The Goguryeo chaos has risen, the soldiers and horses that originally went to Seoul have withdrawn to Pyongyang, and several major families have been forced to deploy troops to protect themselves! Recently, Zhong Zijin asked to buy 40,000 weapons! I've promised him. The corners of Zou Yu's mouth raised, and he said happily.

"It's... Will this cause problems for us to attack in the future? The Yin Master asked worriedly.

"No, Master Yan has made a batch of very sharp weapons for them, but these weapons have a characteristic that they are easy to break when they encounter something harder than it." Zou Yu couldn't hide his smile and said with a grin.

"Lord, do you mean to do something to Goguryeo next year?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"Yes, now in Goguryeo, there is a lack of Mars, as long as the civil war breaks out, it will be the time for us to send troops. If the peninsula is not taken, it will always have to accumulate a large number of troops. Zou Yu nodded and said.

"The prince sold them weapons just to light this fire." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Yes, if you don't give them some courage, they still don't dare to do it." Zou Yu nodded slightly smugly in agreement.

"There are strong enemies outside, the Goguryeo royal family and family, how can they also be restrained?" Gu Yi frowned.

"That's because there isn't enough temptation, as long as there's enough temptation, where to care about the outside." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said.

In his opinion, if Zou Yu had not appeared, Li Yuan and others would have competed for the country, which would not have been the case.

"If the subordinates didn't guess wrong, the prince must have deliberately leaked, and the battle in the Central Plains is tight! Let them think that as long as the winner is separated in a short time, there will be no problem, after all, Silla and Baekje are also at war. Fang Xuanling continued.

"Fang Shangshu's inference is good, it is true, because this is also a fact, just send someone to find out." Zou Yu said lightly.

"It's easy to guess, but they miscalculated our strength and seriously underestimated it."

"When they're pretty much done, we'll clean up the mess! It must be thunderous, in one fell swoop! Zou Yu pressed the table hard and said firmly.

"Next, in the name of the caravan, secretly transfer the soldiers, grain and grass over! Hoard to Liaodong City! Zou Yu continued to command.

"Whoa!" Xue Yuanjing, the head of the household, cautiously bowed his hand.

After a year of silence, there were big moves, and everyone's mood couldn't help but get excited, and their enthusiasm for work was raised to a higher level again.

Zou Yu explained his work, immediately went home and said to his wife, and then rushed to Taiyuan to prepare to greet Empress Dowager Xiao, after all, he is still a minister of the Sui Dynasty and cannot be rude.

On the third day of Zou Yu's arrival in Taiyuan, Empress Dowager Xiao and her entourage arrived. After receiving the news from Pei Shiqing, Zou Yu took the officials of Taiyuan City to greet him outside the city gate.

Dou Jiande was still very careful, even though the two borders were next to each other, he still sent a five-hundred-person escort team.

"Minister Zou Yu, see the Empress Dowager!" After receiving Pei Shiqing's hint and understanding that it was indeed Empress Dowager Xiao in the frame, Zou Yu stepped forward to salute.

"See the Empress Dowager!" The officials of Taiyuan guarded, followed by a loud salute.

"The Qing family is flat!" A soft voice with a unique Wu Nong in Jiangnan sounded, and then a white palm lifted the curtain.

Zou Yu looked up, only to see that she was of medium height, neither fat nor thin, with black hair hanging down on her shoulders, as smooth as a black waterfall, her face was dignified and beautiful, her eyes were like autumn water, and between her gestures, she had an elegant temperament that was difficult to hide, and the whole person looked otherworldly, and with all kinds of charm.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Xiao was almost sixty years old, still like a young woman in her thirties, Zou Yu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
