In everyone's opinion, it is obviously impossible to solve the transportation dilemma between the north and south of Daqin. But......

Who is this person in front of you? He's Li Yang! Unique wisdom through the sky, with a peerless learning, outstanding wisdom, proficient in hundreds of schools, omnipotent.

Hasn't every predicament in the past turned the impossible into a possibility in his hands?

Therefore, everyone looked at Li Yang expectantly, thinking that if the dilemma of transportation between the north and south of Great Qin was really solved, the only Zhenguo monarch in the world in front of him would have an idea.

Seeing everyone's curious eyes, Li Yang nodded and said, "I do have a way, but it is not easy to achieve it." ”

"Oh? Adults really have a way! When they heard this, everyone was overjoyed.

Fusu was also very happy, and hurriedly asked: "What is the way Taifu, you can tell me quickly." ”

Li Yang said: "Build the canal!" ”

"Repair the canal?"

When they heard this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, because Li Yang's method was indeed a good way, but ...... When you think about building a canal, it's a big project.

Li Yang nodded: "That's right, if the Great River, the Yellow River, and even the entire north and south of Daqin can be connected to form a huge water transportation hub, then this logistics and transportation dilemma can be completely solved." ”

Everyone nodded slightly, but they all pondered.

Soon, Li Si said: "Zhenguojun, if the canal you described is connected, it can indeed bring earth-shaking changes to the flow of goods between the north and south of my Great Qin, but it is just ...... It's a huge project! ”

Xiao He and the others also nodded.

Fusu also said: "Yes, the Great Wall has already been built with the strength of the whole country, if this canal project is even bigger than the Great Wall is built at this time, the people will be very miserable." ”

Li Si and the others also nodded, agreeing with Fusu's words.

In fact, Fusu is benevolent, and the first thing he thinks of in his heart is the people, which Li Yang is quite pleased with.

But......

Regarding the canal project, Li Yang has different views on them.

Li Yang said: "The canal is a thousand-year-old plan, and it will benefit thousands of generations, and naturally it will not be completed overnight. It's just that...... We must not give up on this great project that will benefit the future because of the difficulties in front of us, but we can cultivate it step by step and slowly. ”

Everyone nodded slightly.

In fact, Li Yang also knew that building the canal was undoubtedly a kind of suffering to the people of Daqin.

However, the canal is indeed a thousand-year-old plan for the Chinese nation.

The water transportation network built by Li Yang is actually almost the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in later generations.

The canal runs through the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, and the canal has played a huge role in the economic and cultural development and exchanges between the northern and southern regions of China, especially the development of the industrial and agricultural economy in the areas along the route.

This role is not only in ancient China, but continues to this day.

For example, in the 21st century, even if the flow of bullet trains, trains, automobiles, airplanes and other logistics is so high-speed and developed, the Grand Canal still has an irreplaceable freight role.

That is to say, the role of the Grand Canal is not temporary, but as long as a thousand years, even if this kind of project costs the people and money, but for the Chinese nation, it is also worth undertaking.

In particular, in the current Qin Dynasty, there were no trains, no cars, and no airplanes, so this inland water transportation network was very important for logistics and transportation.

In Li Yang's view, repairing the palace can be said to be a waste of money for the people.

However, the construction of the canal is a great project that will benefit the future generations, the descendants of all generations, and even the economy of the entire Chinese nation.

It's like, is it worth sacrificing hundreds of thousands of soldiers to drive out foreign enemies? It's the same thing.

For a nation and a country, it is inevitable to make some sacrifices in some things that are of great significance to the nation.

Thinking of this, Li Yang added: "If Your Majesty were here, I would actually propose to suspend the Great Wall project." ”

"Abort the Great Wall project?" Everyone was slightly startled and surprised.

"That's right." Li Yang nodded and said, "At first, my Great Qin built the Great Wall with the strength of the whole country, and its purpose was to use the Great Wall to defend against the invasion of nomads. Now, the Xiongnu, Donghu, Fuyu, and Sushen have all become the provinces of Mongolia, Liaoning, and Jilin in the north of our Great Qin, and they are already the territory of our Great Qin, and the Great Wall has naturally lost its role. Moreover, in one's own country, build a wall to isolate the territory that belongs to oneself from the Great Wall, which is ...... It seems to be a wall, but for people in Mongolia, Liaoning, and Jilin provinces outside the Great Wall, it is a wall built in people's hearts, and it does more harm than good. ”

To this, everyone nodded one after another.

Li Si said: "What Zhen Guojun said is extremely true, but it's just ...... Now that His Majesty is not in the Qin State, this Great Wall ...... I can't wait for a stoppage. ”

At this time, Fusu said: "Before my father left, I said that the affairs of the dynasty and China are all decided by the Taifu and the State Council, as long as the Taifu and the ministers of the State Council think that the Great Wall can not be built, then the work can naturally be stopped, and I believe that my father will not blame." ”

"This ......" Li Si obviously didn't have that guts.

Xiao He smiled and said: "I think the eldest son's words are not unreasonable, Your Majesty is the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, since the function of the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies has been lost, then it is obviously not advisable to continue to build the Great Wall at the expense of the people and money." I'm sure Your Majesty will also agree to Zhen Guojun's proposal. ”

"Then tomorrow we will listen to the views of Feng and Meng in the national political discussion?" Li Sidao.

Li Yang nodded: "Yes." ”

Fu Su said with a smile: "If Feng Zheng and Meng Yi are also in favor of temporarily suspending the construction of the Great Wall project, then the workers of the Great Wall can be sent to repair the canal, so good!" In this way, there is no need to recruit people. ”

Li Yang smiled and said, "The eldest son loves the people, and the ministers admire him very much. However, the canal is related to the thousand-year-old plan of the Great Qin and even the Chinese nation, and naturally the more workers the better, and the faster the progress, the better. It is of great significance to build a water transport, and logistics transportation can take off once. ”

Li Yang doesn't expect to be able to open up all the five major water transportation networks in a short period of time, but as long as one water transportation network is opened first, it will be of great significance to Daqin's logistics and transportation.

For example, if the water transport network of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River is opened, there will be a main water transport road between the north and the south.

Then, to open up several other canals, and finally form a network of five inland water systems, which is not too awesome.

When Fu Su heard this, he became worried again: "Taifu, didn't you say to cultivate slowly?" ”

Li Yang said with a smile: "The reason for this is that the water transportation network of the entire inland water system cannot be completed in three or five years, but the main water transportation network between the north and the south must be completed quickly." For example, we will first connect the Yellow River with the Great River, so that goods between the north and the south can be unblocked. ”

"And...... More importantly, if Daqin wants to become stronger, prosperous, and richer, it must develop handicrafts and commerce. However, logistics and transportation are not smooth, commodity transportation is difficult, how can this economy develop? ”

Li Yang told Daqin about his current predicament and his outlook for the future, which made Fusu and the others fall into contemplation again.

After a while, Fu Su said: "Taifu has long eyes, and he can't be lonely. ”

Li Si and the others also nodded, obviously they didn't expect that Daqin would develop commerce, economy, logistics and transportation were very important, and it could even be said to be the most fundamental foundation for economic development.

Li Yang smiled: "If you want to get rich, build a road first, this road is not only a land route, but also a water road." ”

"If you want to get rich, build roads first? Haha, Zhen Guojun's words can be described as a wise saying. Li Si laughed and couldn't help but scream.

However, in order not to let Fusu worry that building the canal would cost the people and money. Li Yang still added: "Actually, the matter of building the canal is not necessarily a waste of money and labor. In my opinion, it can be an important means to promote the development of social production and improve the people's living standards. ”

"Oh?" Everyone was stunned and curious.

Li Si hurriedly said: "What do you say about Zhen Guojun?" ”
