Standing in front of the sand table, Zhang Yue took a deep breath.

Then he turned around and looked around the entire Xuanshu Hall.

At this point, it was dawn.

The sky outside the hall revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the morning sun was about to rise.

Before speaking, Zhang Yue first asked himself three questions in his heart.

"How much support do I get?"

The answer is that the ruling group, including Dang Jinzi and all the important ministers of the Nine Emperors, has been persuaded and agreed to his plan.

At least, promise to give it a try.

And last night, I knocked more than a dozen people who went to Beijing to report on their work with 2,000 stones.

Judging by the feedback, they have basically been 'convinced'.

Therefore, the second question is: "Will the forces that may oppose gather enough energy in this Xuanmu Hall to destroy the plan?" ”

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Yue ruled out this possibility.

In this Xuanshu Temple, where did any opposition come from?

Ninety percent of the courtiers were northerners.

They didn't care that the interests of the local bureaucrats and gentry thousands of miles away were damaged.

Even the officials were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe because of Zhang Yue's confessional details.

At this time, Zhang Yue, who has a narrow and righteous name, can wield the big stick of 'Li Shu' and 'Tianxia' at any time and directly knock to death any possible opponents.

The third question is: "Can the people of Qingzhou, Yangzhou and Xuzhou support their own plan?" ”

Just thinking about it a little, Zhang Yue knew that most of them would support it!

Just look at this sand table in front of you.

The three prefectures of Qingxuyang in the southeast region are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the south bank of the Yellow River.

Its territory included Jiangsu, Zhejiang, most of Shandong and part of Anhui in later generations.

However, in such a large area, there are only two large canals and a few small canals.

All of them were built by the state of Wu in the Spring and Autumn period and the state of Qin after unification.

The people will definitely support it!

At that time, Hedong County guarded the fan system, and once had a big brain, planning to build the Sanmenxia Water Conservancy Project and tame the Yellow River.

As a result, he naturally had a blue nose and swollen face, wasted several years of time and hundreds of thousands of laborers, and only got tens of thousands of acres of beach fields as results.

However, after the Fan family made this decision, the entire Hedong County, and even the entire Sanhe region, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, whether they were rich or poor, whether they were rich or poor, raised their limbs to support them.

There is money to contribute, there is power to contribute, and there are people to contribute.

Everywhere there is a scene of construction in full swing.

Even the Sanmenxia Brain Project (which was proposed in this era, roughly equivalent to the later generations saying that the Himalayas would be blown up) can attract and unite the people of the entire Sanhe region.

Now, if the country wants to build a large number of buildings in the southeast, no one will refuse!

At least, most of the people of Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou will support it!

After all, the current Han dynasty is a society dominated by a small-scale peasant economy.

Thinking about these three questions clearly, Zhang Yue became full of confidence.

Looking at the sand table in front of him, he first bowed to the throne of the Son of Heaven, and then bowed to the courtiers on both sides, and said: "Your Majesty, princesses, please see, this is the model of the Qingxu Yang sand table built by the ministers and Lantai Shangshu and the confessors, working together......

"Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, 22 counties, mountains, rivers, rivers, cities, towns, towns, and towns are all listed!"

"And the minister has already reported to His Majesty and the Ming Duke the population, land, forced labor, and taxation of the three prefectures of Qingxu and Yang! Presumably, Your Majesty and all of you Ming Gong naturally know the seriousness and urgency of the Sanzhou problem! ”

"Your Majesty asks the ministers, how to solve this problem!" Zhang Yue looked at the Son of Heaven and bowed: "The minister is stupid, I only thought of a stupid way!" ”

"Open source!"

"Qingzhou Dai mountains and seas, Yangzhou near the seashore, Xuzhou is between the sea and the dai, in which the water network is dense, the rivers meet, and there are many swamps and lakes!"

"However, there are few canals and water conservancy projects in its territory, and there are almost no large-scale water conservancy projects!"

"Is the largest canal a ditch, or is it built by Wu Wangfucha......"

"In my humble opinion, at this time, it is most advantageous to carry out water conservancy construction in the southeast!"

"It can not only benefit future generations and benefit all generations, but also build the merits of Emperor Yu, so that His Majesty can discuss merit with the Xia Hou clan!"

As soon as these words came out, the expression of the Son of Heaven on the throne changed slightly, and he became a little excited.

With the three kings and five emperors, try to compete.

This is a dream that countless Chinese kings have had.

Especially today, he wants to go far away from Tang Yu at every turn, and match the three kings.

Although reality always gives him one setback after another, this cannot stop his fiery pursuit in the slightest.

And the courtiers are all talking about each other.

The construction of super water conservancy projects, which is in the Han Dynasty, belongs to political correctness.

As long as you have the right plan and financial support.

No one will object!

A few years ago, when Bai Gong, then the doctor of Zhao Guozhong, entered the court, he proposed to build a new channel to connect Zhengguo Canal and Jingshui to benefit the people of Guanzhong.

In the morning, he arrived in Lantai, and in the afternoon, he got instructions: Yes!

Three days later, a leading group for the construction of the channel headed by Bai Gong began to explore, and the construction started half a year later, and the channel project of more than 300 miles long was completed in two years.

All the funds went to the Shaofu and did not spend a penny on the treasury.

The people of Guanzhong were even more overjoyed, and made many songs to praise this great channel.

So, theoretically, the courtiers were not opposed to any water construction.

The only question is - where does the money come from?

The generals of the military, in particular, became even more nervous all of a sudden.

At the beginning, in order to repair the Zhengguo Canal, the Qin State gritted its teeth and did not send troops to the Kanto region for more than ten years.

Now, if the state invests a lot of money and all its energy in building water conservancy projects in the southeast.

So......

Will military spending be deducted and used to support the construction of the southeast?

Nobody knows.

But because of that, everyone got nervous.

Generals generally do not get involved in government affairs, but as long as their own interests are involved, they will definitely stand up and speak.

They are the most proficient calf care group in the Han family.

However, the more than 300 officials raised their heads at once, their eyes were burning, and they looked at Zhang Yue with anticipation.

In their hearts, Zhang Yue is simply a god descending from heaven at this moment, and the smile on his face is like a warm sunshine, moistening the earth, just like a warm spring breeze, blowing all things.

In their eyes, this lieutenant is simply a savior!

He is a man of God who saves the suffering and saves the suffering!

Especially the officials in Qingzhou and Yangzhou, there are tears in their eyes.

There is no one who does not want their hometown to be better.

And the southeast of the Han family, for some reasons that cannot be said.

Infrastructure, at least a hundred years behind the North!

There are more than a dozen water conservancy systems in Guanzhong, such as Cao River, Zhengguo Canal, Longshou Canal, and Zhengbai Canal.

And what do Qingzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou have?

Nothing!

In addition to a ditch that has been used for hundreds of years, it can also be used improvised.

Other old projects can no longer bear the heavy responsibility.

In particular, the Yellow River embankment in Qingzhou is like a time bomb, every flood season, the people on both sides of the embankment, regardless of whether they are high or low, who is not worried and worried?

Who dares to forget the tragic lessons brought by the Yellow River's rupture gourd and pavilion pottery?

Can......

There is no one in the court!

No one was willing to speak for Qing Xu Yang at all.

The country, too, bothered to pay attention to this region.

In the eyes of Chang'an people, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou are either wild places or gathering areas for slow rule.

Now, there are finally people who are willing to speak for Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou.

Which one is not happy? Not excited? Out of sorts?

Zhang Yue's attitude immediately changed dramatically.

From the earlier hostility, to the current admiration.

Zhang Yue paused slightly for a moment and observed the expression of the Son of Heaven.

This is an excellent PPT writer who must always pay attention to things.

In later generations, the Booths made PPT was meant to be shown to consumers, so they had to do their best to please and respond to consumers' demands.

The cake is painted so big that people's blood is racing, and they have to buy it immediately.

And now, Zhang Yue knows that his PPT is first made for today's son.

If you can't please him and tickle him, no matter how good you are, it's useless!

It's like Nokia's quality, everyone says it's good.

However, under the wave of crazy smart phones, they were quickly eliminated by the market.

Is Nokia bad?

No, but consumers have moved away.

Therefore, Zhang Yue is quietly observing and paying attention to the changes in the demeanor of the Son of Heaven all the time.

He knew very well that he had to give back and take care of His Majesty's feelings in a timely manner.

Every possible effort must be made to win the approval and affection of this majesty.

After seeing that the pie he painted 'shoulder to shoulder with Emperor Yu' obviously won the favor of His Majesty, Zhang Yue put his mind at ease.

But Zhang Yue knows that just this is far from enough!

He had to come up with a project that would work in the near future, and that would cost little but be very profitable, to continue drawing the pie!

It's like Rebus doing Xiaomi, publicly announcing: Xiaomi's hardware profit will always be only five percent!

As a result, it swept the market and gained countless fans.

In contrast, Jabbs just focused on painting cakes, forgetting to give consumers and investors a tangible benefit, so he had to return to China next week.

And what kind of project can play a small investment, quick results, and at the same time let anyone, even a water conservancy novice, know that this thing must be feasible?

In Zhang Yue's mind, countless projects of later generations kept flashing.

Eventually, it was frozen in one place.

The southeast of Huiji County, Yangzhou, Shaoxing City in later generations, and the hometown of Mr. Lu Xun.

At this time, there are countless small rivers and streams here, densely spread between the mountains and rivers, and every rainy season, the rivers flood, so that the Ze country evolves.

Apart from fishermen and Yue people, few people have set foot here.

So......

How did Shaoxing develop into the small town in the south of the Yangtze River and the hometown of prosperity in later generations?

There is one person who has made outstanding contributions to the development and prosperity of Shaoxing.

He will be born in about a hundred and fifty years.

Eastern Han Dynasty Huiji County Shou Ma Zhen!

This county guard, who was born in Yangzhou, is the first person in the development and construction of Shaoxing.

Perhaps few people in later generations have heard of his name.

But if you mention his other name, I'm afraid many people will be familiar with it.

King Horse of Jili!

All those who travel to Shaoxing will generally not miss Jianhu Lake.

When you go to Jianhu Lake, you will definitely see the Jili King Temple on the edge of Jianhu Lake.

This is a temple built by later generations to commemorate this county guard.

It has a history of more than 2,000 years, from the Han Dynasty and the emperor to later generations, from generation to generation, and the incense is endless!

And the 300 miles of Jianhu Lake is Ma Zhen's legacy!

Ma Zhen's era, from now, is up to 200 years.

The Jianhu project, on the other hand, has a very short construction period.

Judging from the historical materials traced by Zhang Yue, it only took about a year to basically complete.

The cost is not large, because Ma Zhen himself is a water conservancy expert, so, because of his ingenuity, after a detailed investigation, the design of the Jianhu Lake project, the amount of work is not large, and it took only one year to basically complete.

The resources and costs spent are basically solved by the finances and taxes of Huiji County itself.

Therefore, under the current technical conditions, there should be no difficulties in building Jianhu Lake.

However, the benefits of the Jianhu project are not innumerable.

First of all, after the completion of the Jianhu Lake project, the hundreds of miles near the capital of the ancient Yue Kingdom will be turned into fertile land.

At least 20,000 hectares of arable paddy fields can be obtained!

It is enough to house more than 40,000 families and settle here.

Is there a better project than this?

Small investment, fast return, faster results!

Zhang Yue could not find a better project than this one.

Therefore, he condensed slightly, recalled the information and information of the later generations from his mind, and then said: "Weichen suggests, first of all, in the area of the old Yuechi in Huiji County, Yangzhou, the water is surrounded by a lake!" ”

"The minister has checked, in the area of Yuechi, there are 38 large and small rivers and streams, and every flood season, there is also seawater inflow, so the people think that it is a place of suffering and famine, and they do not want to live forever!"

"But if you try to build a dam along the area of Yuechi and enclose it as a lake, you can build a big lake with countless water storage, and it can effectively prevent salt water from pouring into Yuechi!"

"After a little calculation, the minister came to the conclusion that it only takes 30,000 to 50,000 people, and one year old, you can get hundreds of miles of big lakes, dissolve the surrounding five or six hundred miles of Zeguo, and get tens of thousands of acres of beautiful fields to accommodate tens of thousands of people!"

"Because of this lake, the newly obtained rice fields can not suffer from drought, there is water in all seasons, and grain and rice can be harvested more than four stones in one year!"

In order to strengthen the persuasiveness, Zhang Yue said: "Not only that, if this project can be completed, it will be in Huiji, just like Kunming Pond in Guanzhong, and will be turned into a land of fish and rice, so that its territory will be free from floods and drought!" ”

Originally, the Son of Heaven was not very able to understand the project introduced by Zhang Yue.

But as soon as he heard that this project could be compared with Kunming Pool, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

Kunming Pond is an artificial lake that has cost countless people and spent countless manpower and material resources to build.

However, since the completion of Kunming Pond, the entire Shanglinyuan and the surrounding counties have not suffered from drought and flood.

Even if there is a severe drought in the summer of Guanzhong this year, the Huangtian in Shanglin Yuan has a bumper harvest as in previous years.

After thinking about it slightly, the Son of Heaven asked, "Where are the officials of Huiji County?" ”
