"Your Majesty, look, this is the Yellow River ......"

In the imperial garden, there was an exquisite pavilion, but Li Yun and the emperor did not sit in the pavilion, but squatted beside the flower trees in front of the pavilion.

There was a small piece of dirt under the flower tree, Li Yun was holding a branch in his hand to write and draw, and Li Shimin next to him was holding the sleeping little Li Zhi, looking intently at the miniature version of the mountains, rivers and rivers drawn by Li Yun.

"Your Majesty, look, this is the Yellow River ......"

Li Yun spoke again, and the branches slowly crossed the ground, a thick curve representing the Yellow River, which seemed to have a surging taste after being drawn.

In addition to a thick line representing the Yellow River, there are a number of small boxes representing fields that are carved out along the river, surrounded by mountains represented by small earthen bags.

Then there were small pebbles that served as a city, small strips of cloth represented villages, a few grasshoppers that had been caught were taken as wild beasts in the mountains, and two or three little people who pinched mud stood in the middle of the fields.

This should be the first three-dimensional sand table in the world, the mountains, forests, birds, beasts, cities, and villages are clear at a glance, although it was made by Li Yun at will, but the impact on the emperor was too huge.

The emperor squatted there intently, and even forgot that he was still holding the sleeping little Li Zhi in his arms, and suddenly there was an excitement in his mouth, and he said in surprise: "If this sand table can be fixed, won't I be able to see a miniature version of the Tang Dynasty all the time?" ”

Because the sound was too loud, Li Zhiton in his arms was awakened, and the little guy rubbed his sleepy eyes, and his mouth pouted and cried.

This is the child's first reaction when he wakes up, Li Yun hurriedly reached out and hugged the little guy over, he gently patted it with his hand to soothe it a few times, and slowly made Li Zhi fully awake.

Li Shimin was a little stupid, and said with a face of shame: "I was so excited just now that I forgot that the young slave was still in my arms, ahaha, don't cry, my father apologized to you." ”

Xiao Li Zhijiao pursed her lips, indicating that she was definitely not crying, but her eyes looked at the sand table on the ground without blinking, and the little guy obviously wanted to go down and play.

Li Yun held Li Zhi with one hand, and picked up the branch again with the other hand, he pointed to the thick line on the ground that represented the Yellow River with the branch, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you see, the Yellow River basin is wide, all the way from west to east, like a giant dragon across the earth, it is the largest river in the north of the Central Plains......"

As he spoke, he stopped slightly, and the branch in his hand also stopped slightly, stopped somewhere and said: "From here, the water potential of the Yellow River becomes flat, and at the same time, the water color also begins to turn yellow, and the entrained sediment slowly settles, and sedimentation is not a good thing, siltation will raise the riverbed, so the Yellow River will burst every once in a while, and even be directly diverted when it is serious." ”

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he blurted out: "Once the mouth is rerouted, hundreds of thousands of people will be affected." ”

"More than that!"

Li Yun slowly exhaled a breath and said softly: "The Yellow Flood Area covers a wide area, but it is also the most densely populated place, once the Yellow River is diverted, the entire northern part of the Central Plains will be affected. ”

Li Shimin nodded, stared straight at the place where Li Yun's branches paused, and muttered: "This is Kunshan, Kunshan has been called Shandong in ancient times, I just recalled the history books, and sure enough, it recorded several times the flooding of the Yellow River, I used to only fantasize about it when I read history, but I didn't have a clear concept and impression in my heart, and now I look at your three-dimensional sand table, and I find that the so-called Yellow Flood Area is really scary......

After a pause, he continued: "Good guy, it covers the entire Henan Province, plus half of the Hebei Province, and even affects the east of the Hedong Province, which is already north of Jianghuai, which accounts for almost half of the entire Tang Dynasty." ”

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The Yellow River must not be broken. ”

Li Yun smiled and said: "The Yellow Flood Area is indeed very large, and once the Yellow River bursts, it will be a catastrophe, but if you think about it differently, the Yellow Flood Area can be turned into an irrigation area." ”

Yellow floodplain turned into irrigation?

Li Shimin obviously hesitated, and his eyes were fixed on the sand table again.

How to turn the Yellow Flood into an irrigation area?

There's only one way to think about it......

"I understand, overhaul the dry canal!"

The emperor suddenly snatched the branch from Li Yun's hand, and then began to draw a line along the thick line of the Yellow River, and said while drawing: "For example, here, it is Taiyuan, if you can lead to a giant trunk canal, you can irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres of land, for example, here, it is Yizhou, if you can lead to a trunk canal, it can also irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and here, and here......"

The emperor drew more and more urgently with the branches, and the lines on the ground became more and more, gradually covering the entire north of the earth, like a dense spider web.

Unconsciously, the flowers and trees in front of this pavilion surrounded many ministers.

The ministers didn't dare to disturb Li Shimin out of their voice, and they all held their breath and squatted on the ground to watch quietly.

This pair of suggested sand tables made by Li Yun almost covers the entire northern part of the Tang Dynasty on the spot, whether it is mountains, rivers, mountains or cities and villages, as long as you compare a little, you can know what kind of place it is.

Li Shimin is still drawing lines, leading thin lines representing trunk canals out of the Yellow River.

Sometimes the line needs to pass through a small earthen bag, and the branch in the emperor's hand does not hesitate to cross it, and suddenly a minister gasped and said with shock: "My God, this is to open the mountain......

Sometimes the line needs to go through an original line, and the branch in the emperor's hand still does not hesitate to cross it, so another minister gasped and said, "Your Majesty, you want to merge the river......

Mountains!

And the river!

Everything is a big project that scares people to death.

However, the branch in Li Shimin's hand never stopped, and Li Yun stood next to him and never called to stop.

One is the emperor and the other is the king of Xifu Zhao, and the opinions of the two are unprecedentedly unified, and there is a resolute color in their eyes.

As Li Shimin continued to paddle the branches, the sand table on the ground had become a little messy, and a large net appeared in the north of the Central Plains, which was a dense artificial trunk canal.

Those lines look very small, but in fact they are all huge artificial rivers, and if this project really starts, it may not be as simple as requisitioning 3 million people......

At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty only dug a Grand Canal, and the number of people requisitioned was as high as one million, and the Grand Canal was mainly with the help of primitive rivers, and now the Tang Dynasty wants to dig out of thin air.

"Your Majesty, stop!"

The ministers finally couldn't bear it, and Qi Qi opened his mouth to stop it: "Although this matter is beneficial for a thousand years, Datang has no ability, if you insist on doing it, it will only drag Datang down." ”

Yes, it will only drag down Datang!

More than 500 giant trunk canals, covering almost the entire north, such a large project is no longer manpower, because it has already involved the transformation of mountains and rivers.

At this time, Li Shimin was also frightened by his actions, holding a branch and looking at the river network on the ground in a daze, the hundreds of dense thin lines, which made the emperor feel his scalp tingle for a while.

The emperor suddenly looked up at Li Yun, and said with some hesitation: "King Zhao of Xifu, tell me, can I live to the day when I am finished?" ”

Will I live to the day I finish?

This is a sign of lack of confidence.

It can make an emperor have no confidence, which shows how terrifying this project is.

"Your Majesty......"

Wei Zheng stood up in the crowd, and said in a strongly objectionable tone: "This matter must not be opened, it can only exist in fantasy, if you allow King Zhao to open this project, my Datang will die in less than ten years." ”

Old man Wei's words were hard to hear, and he directly cursed that the Tang Dynasty would lose the country, if it was left in the past, Li Shimin would definitely be furious, but at this moment, the emperor's mind did not belong, and after hearing the words, he subconsciously nodded.

Not only Wei Zheng objected, but other ministers also began to oppose, even Lao Cheng and others, who had supported Li Yun before, looked at the sand table on the ground and became hesitant at this time.

The project is too big, too big for manpower.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Yun kept smiling, and he took in the expressions of all the ministers, knowing how shocked these people were after looking at the sand table.

It's good to be shocked!

It's better to be afraid!

Only shock and fear will make people pay more attention to this matter.

The corners of Li Yun's mouth hooked a curvature, and suddenly put the little Li Zhi in his arms on the ground, and then he half-bent down and squatted in front of Li Zhi, and asked with a smile: "Brother childish, do you want to make a game?" ”

"Big brother wants to play with me?"

The little one was very excited, and his tone became pleasantly surprised.

Li Yun turned his hand and pointed to the artificial lake not far from the Imperial Garden, and said with a smile: "You go and call a guard and ask him to help you fetch a bucket of water." Then bring it to your brother, and he will play a game with you......"

Children love to play, and so does Li Zhi, who cheered and stumbled over there.

At this time, the imperial garden was full of people, and countless female dependents were visiting the garden to enjoy the flowers, Xiao Li Zhi cheered all the way, and soon called a guard to help him fetch water.

The guard was also a clever man, and specially helped His Royal Highness find a small wooden barrel, which could only hold a scoop of water, and Li Zhi stumbled and ran back.

The little one was very happy, and his face was red with excitement.

He stood in front of Li Yun with a small wooden barrel, tilting his little head in anticipation of the next order.

"Down!"

Li Yun did not hesitate, stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table in front of him.

Li Zhi's face twitched, and he looked at the sand table in front of him in a daze.

Although he is a child, he knows that this is something that his father and eldest brother have just made, this thing seems to represent the north of the Tang Dynasty, and if it is destroyed, it will make his father angry.

Li Yun snatched the branch from Li Shimin's hand, then pointed to the thick line representing the Yellow River, and said again: "Brother Child, look here, lift your small wooden barrel, and fall down viciously." ”

Xiao Li Zhi pursed his lips and said a little timidly: "Big brother, are you really going to fall?" ”

"Down!"

Li Yun's eyes are very hard!

His tone is also very hard!

Xiao Li Zhi was about to cry in fright, but he tried to purse his mouth and refused to cry, the little guy took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to carry the small wooden bucket.

There was a bang.

There was only one scoop of water in the small wooden barrel, but the sand table was full of waves.

That scoop of water broke the thick line representing the Yellow River and washed away the small pebbles representing the city......

The small dirt bags that represent the mountains also broke down, and the mud and sand mixed with the water rushed into the fields!

A few mud-kneading figures fell straight down, and strips of cloth representing pedestrians fell into the water.

It's just a small game, and all the ministers present don't change color.

Li Yun's voice resounded throughout the audience, and he said in a quiet tone: "The Yellow River has become a hanging river on the ground, once it breaks, it will be the foresight, this king wants to ask all of you, are you afraid of this scene in front of you?" ”

Wei Zheng stood up abruptly and said loudly to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to get rid of the position of a courtier, and invite himself to Hebei as an official. ”

Li Shimin's eyes were blazing, and he asked in a deep voice: "Wei Qing is going to dig the Yellow River?" ”

Wei Zheng nodded heavily, and said with a resolute face: "The old minister is going to dig the Yellow River......"

This doctor, who was most opposed to the excavation of the Yellow River, was the first to stand up and support the digging of the Yellow River, not only supporting the digging of the Yellow River, but also throwing the rest of his life there.

All the voices of opposition disappeared in a little game of Li Yun and Li Zhi.
