Chapter Fifty-Nine: Let's Go to the Outside of the Fortress and Open Up the Wasteland

Wu Zetian's degree of eccentricity is not covered, a holy decree, all officials are in an uproar.

Princess Taiping Fake Festival, Duhe East Road, Henan Province Agricultural Section...... To put it bluntly, the minister of the Qincha, who is equivalent to Zhengyipin, has the right to cut first and then play, and Hedong Province and Henan Province are the two richest and highest grain yields under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Liang Wangwu Sansi also faked the festival and went to Jiangnan Province and Huainan Province to carry out water control...... These two roads, the water damage over the years, the lightest, and the Sui Dynasty left the Grand Canal as the foundation, only need to recruit people to build infrastructure.

The two gold medal candidates were signed, and the rest of the runners were much more uncomfortable.

And Li Xian belongs to the one at the end of the crane...... The governor of Longyou Province is the envoy, and at the same time supervises the water and agricultural classes!

What is the concept of Longyou Road, the largest road in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, bordering West Asia in the west, the Uighurs in the north, the **Turk in the east, and the south at the end is the four towns of Liangzhou and Wuwei that the Tang Dynasty actually controls.

Of course, in view of Wu Zetian's deterrent effect on the neighbors of the Tang Dynasty, the people of Longyou Road do not have a few days of peace all year round, either fighting or preparing for war.

This kind of place of four wars, supervising water control and agricultural classes, this surnamed Wu is simply a talent and creative!

"Master, your own mother is so ruthless."

When he received the holy decree, Li Ran had to admit that he had underestimated the lower limit of Wu Zetian, and this girl was shameless and showed you a scoundrel every minute.

“…… Alas, the wood is already in the boat, let's think about what to do next. ”

Li Xian is calm, ten years of suspicious life has made him accustomed to living a hard life, although the environment of Longyou Road is not good, but staying away from Wu Zetian is a good thing in itself.

The holy decree made it clear that all the candidates immediately went to the territory to work, and even Princess Taiping packed her luggage overnight, and Li Xian was naturally no exception.

"That's right, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge."

Li Ran also adjusted his mentality, with a trace of leisurely in his eyes, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, Longyou Dao is the best stage for you to play your space, and the Martial Emperor wants to be smart but is mistaken by being smart." ”

She put Li Xian in the place with the worst control, which is equivalent to giving more power to deal with government affairs in disguise.

In layman's terms, the generals are outside, and the military order is not subject to it!

That night, the line was ready, Li Xian was a guest house, and he didn't bring many things, the only difficulty was the people who followed him to Longyou Road to open up wasteland.

Li Ran naturally had to go, but Wei Shi resisted very vaguely.

Obviously, she is a little unhappy to enjoy the prosperity of Luoyang again.

Li Xian also didn't want his wife to suffer, so he generously signaled her to stay, and Li Bao'er was young, so naturally he wouldn't follow him.

But Li Xianhui said that she had to go with Li Ran for everything.

"Wherever Da Lang goes, I'll go!" , This girl has a determination that is not commensurate with her immature face, regardless of Webster's opposition, she personally prepared her bags, and even did not hesitate to cut her hair.

If a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Li Ran held her hand in the midst of emotion, and the two rode together, not caring about the eyes of others at all.

Cheng Bo carefully selected his entourage, a total of nearly 100 people, all of whom were the most confidant elite subordinates, who could cut people on the horse and serve as a politician when they got off the horse.

Because of the responsibility of water control, I had to go up the Yellow River upstream, stopping and thinking about how to start.

Of course, it was Li Ran who was thinking, and Li Xian, the main son, could only watch from the sidelines and ask repetitive questions.

"Ran'er, how to treat this water?"

Li Ran did not answer...... Practice brings true knowledge, there is no basic hydrological data, and opening your mouth is a water control plan, which is nonsense.

Fortunately, after arriving in Longzhou, he already had the answer in his heart.

When entering the city, the local prefect led the officials and subordinates to welcome him, and Li Xian, who was flattered, was a little at a loss...... For the first time in ten years, he has regained his privileged status.

It's a pity that Longzhou is very poor, and even the state capital is in tatters, and it is a large dilapidated house in Luoyang.

The prefect's surname is Zhang, a local noble family in Longzhou, due to water and soil problems, his early forties look similar to his sixties, not only him, but all the people he saw along the road have typical plateau red characteristics on their cheeks, all of which show the hardships of life.

The rich people have all migrated to live in Kannai, and only a group of bitter people are left.

However, Li Ran smiled happily...... Poor people are not terrible, on the contrary, they have the greatest desire to improve their quality of life.

The feast is steamed lamb, which fully reflects the local rough customs, and even the blood and water are not washed.

Of course, Li Ran would not grieve his stomach, so he excused himself to talk about business and skipped the eating session.

"Lord Zhang, the emperor sent King Luling as a governor to Longyou to supervise the water control and agricultural classes, and this project will not use a penny of money from the yamen."

After saying the important words three times, Li Ran raised his eyebrows, "Not only do I not need a penny of your money, but I will also pay a high salary for the dispatch of people, to put it simply, you will pay people, we will pay, and the cooperation is happy." ”

Governor Zhang was speechless with excitement in an instant, and his hands trembled like Parkinson's.

“…… Okay, good, we don't have money and food in Longzhou, people, it's enough. ”

The northwestern man is sincere, and when he ordered his subordinate officials to post the notice of summoning the people, in just two days, hundreds of people have flocked to him.

Li Ran was the talker, and directly took out three thousand taels of silver as a reward.

"Within a month, the Yellow River channel will be widened and sand will be taken from the bottom of the river, as much as possible."

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the poor and crazy man went down to the river shirtless, and he was stunned to intercept the water of the Yellow River at high tide in August and September!

The project was in full swing, and Li Xian personally supervised the battle on the spot, his emotions were excited, but his eyes were very dazed.

"Ran'er, let's just dig sand?"

"Otherwise, what else can be done?"

Li Ran can understand that the old man doesn't understand the principles of water conservancy, but can he ask a more constructive question, after all, he has explained it almost a hundred times.

"The best way at the moment is to dig up sand, we are at the source of the Yellow River, the flooding here is not serious, and there is even a shortage of water in some places, so we have to do the opposite, widen the river, and divert more tributaries for irrigation."

"The sandy soil at the bottom of the river is rich in nutrients, and it is a good material for improving the farmland soil, and the grain yield of the entire Longyou Road is not high, and the reason for the poor soil and water accounts for the majority, not only Longzhou, but also other states in Longyou Road, Liangzhou, Lanzhou, Ganzhou, and even Wuwei and Zhangye further west."

"Emperor Wu wants you to control the water and harvest, with the basic conditions of Longyou Dao, what tricks can you play in a year? Therefore, we have to take advantage of the tricks and do the work to make bright spots, for example, planting trees on the Gobi Desert, opening fields on the edge of the Yellow River, digging wells on the Loess Plateau, etc., the key is that we must complete the new things that our predecessors have not been able to do, so as to pull the name of the Qiangyun Holy Name! ”

Li Xian still doesn't understand, but he doesn't ask more, his son-in-law, what can't he believe in it all?

"But, to your ears, these projects seem to be very large, and the cost is ......."

"Master, I contracted the project in Luoyang and earned a full 100,000 taels of silver."

"Ten, one hundred thousand! How I didn't know! ”

"You didn't ask me......"

Li Ran spread his hands, looking innocent, and when he saw the old man's surprised look, he couldn't help but smile.

Looking at this point, all the little things are shocked, so what he said next, isn't it thunderous?
