"It is naturally better for the prince to be able to go to the saint, after all, there are too many people along the Yangtze River, and the imperial court must fully cooperate, as for the method, the rest is what you said just now, renovate the upstream and downstream rivers, and maintain the embankments along Yunmengze.

At most, according to the nearby cities, farmland, new canals, to irrigate more farmland, after all, the climate in that area is pleasant, the most suitable for growing grain, at least two crops of rice can be planted, if the Jingxiang area is vigorously developed, it will be a place that is not lost in Guanzhong.

Second, after the diversion, the flood discharge capacity of Yunmengze Lake can also be improved, but in this way, the requirements for new river canals will become higher, otherwise it will cause floods and harm more people. Feng Daiwen took Li Chengqian to sit in front of the map, took a sip of tea and said in detail.

Li Chengqian continued to make careful records, and constantly nodded in agreement, admiring Feng Daiwen's talent.

"Thank you brother-in-law for your advice!" Li Chengqian got up, bowed down and solemnly saluted.

"The prince is polite, it is his duty to worry about the king." Feng Daiwen hurriedly turned sideways and avoided the road, now that Li Chengqian has grown up, he is a prince again, and he must be respected enough.

Li Chengqian was very happy with Feng Daiwen's attitude, and only he gave him enough respect, and other Confucian people, including Li Shimin, were always putting forward more tasks and more requirements to him with a straight face.

"The younger brother went to Yuezhou, I don't know if my brother-in-law has a good way to make the local people rich, please give me some advice." Li Chengqian asked with a smile on his face.

Feng Daiwen's teaching today on flood prevention and river management is completely capable of writing an opinion book on the management of the Yangtze River and the flood control of Yunmengze, and if Li Chengqian writes it, it should cause a lot of discussion.

The two knew it, and of course Li Shimin would know it, but the other ministers would only think that this was Li Chengqian's way to increase his prestige, and all Li Chengqian was grateful in his heart.

"If you want the people to be rich in Yuezhou, you have to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, and the area grows grain, tea, and mulberry are a good choice, especially Junshan Island, where the tea leaves taste particularly good.

Yunmengze Dongting Lake has a lot of fish, it is completely possible to Liaoxi in general, build big boats, fish reasonably, and also open canals to divert water, build large fish ponds along the coast, Zhujiazhuang fish ponds are interplanted with lotus roots, and you should have seen poultry breeding, and you should have copied the past.

The rest is to take advantage of the fact that the population is not too large, relocate the people along the Yangtze River, reclaim wasteland, and grow high-quality fruits and vegetables in a well-lit land, and the income is also not low. Feng Daiwen never cared about fame and merit, and gave a detailed explanation of Li Chengqian's problem.

"Since the water system is developed, a wharf can be built to allow merchant ships to rest, which can be used to drive local commerce, and in the future, it will be more convenient to sell tea and sericulture." Feng Dawen continued.

Li Chengqian wrote hard, listened carefully, compared and checked the map from time to time.

"My father has arranged a lot of manpower for my younger brother, but there are very few capable people, I don't know if my brother-in-law can recommend anyone?" After Li Chengqian finished writing, he read it again, and then looked up and asked.

Feng Daiwen asked the accompanying officials, thought about it carefully, and said: "Now that the secretary is in charge of the official ceremony, Di Zhixun, and Pei Xingjian are very capable, and the prince can be seconded, there should be no problem."

The saint said that officials can only help young people, but the East Palace is an official, but the prince is directly under him, and he can't help but bring a few people who have no substantive affairs in the court. ”

"Thank you brother-in-law, the little brother will leave first, if there are difficulties in the future, please ask my brother-in-law for more guidance!" After Feng Daiwen finished speaking, Li Chengqian had all the eyebrows, relaxed, and couldn't wait to go back to prepare, so he hurriedly offered to leave.

Feng Daiwen didn't keep him, and personally sent him out, and the curfew in Chang'an was naturally useless for a prince.

When he left the palace, Li Shimin already knew that Li Shimin could guess the purpose of his going to Feng Daiwen, and couldn't help but look forward to it slightly, wanting to see Feng Daiwen's method, you must know that Feng Daiwen often gives surprises.

As expected, after Li Chengqian returned to the palace, he worked hard overnight to write a book, consult information, and write a book of tens of thousands of words, with survey data, and said: "The Yellow River, the Yangtze River Basin, soil erosion and prevention of treatment!" ”

On the morning of the second day, Li Chengqian went to court with panda eyes and played Li Shimin, demanding that the relocation of the people near Liangshui be increased, at least not too close to the river for planting, and that afforestation be strengthened near the river to restore the landform and benefit future generations.

At the same time, it expounded how to control the flood in Yunmengze, as well as concentrate the people, carry out village-based cooperation and win-win breeding, planting mode, and open workshops according to local characteristics.

Li Chengqian's letter caused a huge repercussion, and for this kind of thing that is beneficial to future generations, it will not harm the interests of any family, and everyone raised their hands in agreement, and praised the prince in unison for his long-term vision and thoughtfulness.

Although Li Shimin knew that most of this was Feng Daiwen's guidance, Li Chengqian was able to seek strategies and accept them, which was also a good thing.

Originally, it was only intended to be given to a Yuezhou, a group of young people, to test his vision, ability, and employment, but now it seems that he might as well increase the pressure.

With a wave of Li Shimin's hand, all the 700 miles of Yunmengze Fang were handed over to him for governance, and Yuezhou by Dongting Lake and several counties in Jingzhou, Jiangbei were fully responsible for it.

and allowed more than 100 subordinate officials of the East Palace to go to listen to the order, and dispatched Yu Zhining, the chief of the East Palace and the left concubine, and Zhang Xuansu, the young Zhan Shi and the right concubine of the East Taishe, to assist.

At the same time, he agreed to Li Chengqian's request and asked the secretary and the secretary Shangguanyi, Di Zhixun, Pei Xingjian, and 28 Confucian scholars recommended by Yan Shigu to go together.

Li Chengqian participated in the reconstruction of Chang'an, listened to the government of Zhongshu Province, and studied with Li Shimin for several years.

For several days, officials of the East Palace customized the plan on the map, made the plan, dispatched manpower and materials, and finally submitted it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin read it carefully, and after thinking about it, he did not point out whether it was right or wrong, but only encouraged Li Chengqian to say a few words, and let him do it according to his own ideas.

On February 10 of the sixth year of Zhenguan, the crown prince Li Chengqian led officials, craftsmen, and Donggong guards to rush to Yuezhou with more than 7,500 people, to organize the people to choose land for spring ploughing before mid-March, and after spring ploughing, the imperial court would send 80,000 coolies to build canals and other work.
