"Then the ramp you take can allow the cavalry army to enter?"

Hearing Yan Xing's inquiry, Fa Zheng pondered for a while before he said slowly:

The north entrance of the Bao Slope Road is at the mouth of the Xiegu Valley in Yixian County, and the south exit is in the Baogu Valley in Hanzhong, so it is called the Bao Slope Road. The plank road between the valleys is built along the river, there is no need to go over the mountains and mountains, but it can accommodate the army to enter, Sima mistakenly cut down Shu in the Qin period, and the army of the Qin State passes through this road. ”

"However, the exit of Hanzhong Baogu is cut off the cliff, if there are soldiers to guard, it can be said that one person guards the danger, ten thousand people do not enter, plus the oblique, Bao two water turbulence, if it rains heavily, there is sometimes a matter of washing out the plank road pillars."

Speaking of which, Fa Zheng came to an abrupt end just right, without knowing the thoughts of the hussar general in front of him, he didn't dare to be like Meng Da, rashly offering a strategy for entering the army, although the glory and wealth at his fingertips seemed to be good, but he also had to enjoy his life in the future.

However, through the Q&A just now, Yan Xing has preliminarily considered Fa Zheng's talents, and can gain insight into the battles and strengths and weaknesses of Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang's families, and is quite familiar with the mountains and rivers in Shu.

Yan Xing began to turn to Meng Da and asked with a smile:

"I heard you have a plan to open the canal?"

Meng Da suddenly smiled, took out a scroll of silk paintings from his sleeve, and presented it to him, saying:

"In the next generation of home Yi County, the former Han Dynasty Chengguo Canal is open source in Fufeng Yi County, and the Chengguo Canal is also quite familiar, I heard that the state and county have the intention of repairing the national canal, and hereby plan to draw a map of the eastward expansion into the national canal, and take the liberty to dedicate it!"

Yan Xing's personal guard took the silk painting from Meng Da's hand, and then handed it to Yan Xing's front and slowly unfolded it. Meng Da's loud voice also sounded at the right time.

"What the general saw on the silk painting at this time is the topographic map of the mountains and rivers in Fufeng, if it can be expanded eastward from the Jiangchengguo Canal, and after passing through Huaili, it will not introduce the Mengyu Canal, but then directly introduce Jingshui to the northeast, then the increased irrigation distance will be nearly 100 miles, and the land along both sides of the canal will become fertile and fertile land."

"And there are some tributaries in Weibei that are like lacquered water, and the eastward expansion of the canal happens to pass through them, and they can be used as the source of the canal."

"In the past, the Qin State built the Zhengguo Canal, known as 'So Guanzhong is a fertile field, and there is no murder year.'" Qin was rich and strong, and he joined the princes. If the general can build this eastward expansion of the canal, it is equivalent to building another Zhengguo canal, which is not only the luck of the people of Guanzhong, but also has great benefits for the general's tuntian millet! ”

In the process of explaining the eastward expansion into the national canal, Meng Da slowed down his speech as much as possible, on the one hand, so that everyone could hear his words clearly, and on the other hand, he gave himself time to consider more tempting words.

"Good, good!"

After listening to Meng Da's careful explanation, Yan Xinglian said two good words, but he did not have the heart-warming look that Meng Da expected, he asked Meng Da a few more questions, then stopped asking, and asked the guards to close the map.

Seeing that the eastward expansion of the Chengguo Canal, which he had conceived after many days of hard thinking, did not receive the expected effect on the hussar general, and the terrain of the road into Shu was also asked by the hussar general early, the answer was even more cautious, and the point was stopped.

Although Meng Da was unwilling, but after the advice was completed, he was in an embarrassing situation, for the sake of his own safety, he still had to salute the hussar general and others to retreat, and cautiously followed the master of Yixian County with Fa Zheng and retreated back along the way he came.

After they left, Yan Xing's eyes narrowed slightly, looked around at the people around him, and asked lightly:

"How?"

Everyone looked at each other and did not say anything. Here with the highest rank and status of strict conferrals, it is not their turn to answer.

Yan Zhu stared at the silk painting left behind for a while before he spoke:

"The children of this Fa family, after all, are from a family of eunuchs, and the family style is tainted, and there is still a bit of proportion between words. And looking at this Meng Da, he is clever in his words, he votes for the favor of the master, talks about inviting merit, and the ugliness of his behavior is even worse than that of his parents! ”

Fa Zheng's great-grandfather Fa Xiong is a famous minister of this dynasty, the official to the Nanjun Taishou, grandfather Fa Zhen is also a generation of celebrities, called "Mr. Xuande", Fa Zheng's father Fa Yan is not as good as his father and ancestors for two generations, but also the official to Situ Peng, Tingwei Zuo Prison.

Therefore, Yan Zhu, who was also born as a famous scholar of the three auxiliaries, said that he had a bit of family style after seeing Fazheng.

But for Meng Da, his best performance today fell into the eyes of Yan Zhu, but it was as ugly and disgusting as his father Meng Tuo's behavior of fighting wine for Liangzhou.

Du Yi knew that at this time, he recommended talents, and most of the results were self-inflicted. At this time, he also watched his nose and nose, and stood aside without saying a word.

Only the county commander of Yixian County was sweating profusely, and he thought that Meng and Da, who had performed well, would be able to exchange themselves for a reputation of discernment, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating. But for Yan Zhu's comments, as a recommender, he still had to bite the bullet and say:

"Yan Fujun, this Mencius Jing's policy of expanding eastward into a national canal, although it still needs to be improved, but it is also a policy for the benefit of the country and the people, so why should you blame the family, haha, after all, the gentleman hides evil and promotes good!"

Regarding the words of the county order of Yixian County, Yan Zhi, who had a hat on his head, frowned, and immediately said sharply:

"For the benefit of the country and the people? Ridiculous! Meng Da Xiao'er, to the general's favor, wants to invite meritorious eunuchs with canals and water conservancy, but do you know how much manpower and material resources are needed to expand eastward into a national canal for nearly 100 miles, breaking ground and opening canals, and spending thousands of dollars a day, but once it goes wrong, it will not only consume the people's money and food of the three auxiliaries, but also make us lose our trust in the three auxiliary people. ”

"If you cross the lacquer water, the water flows low, and the water of the canal will flow along the lacquer water into Weishui, how can it expand nearly a hundred miles eastward and introduce Jing water?"

Fertile land is inseparable from the irrigation of water sources, if according to the arrangement of God, then the fertile land can only be distributed in the rivers with abundant water on both sides of the river, but in order to survive, in order to produce more food, the people on the earth learned to fight against the river early, and gradually mastered various methods of using the river.

Canal irrigation is one of them, theoretically as long as a channel is dug between two rivers and irrigated with water, an irrigation canal can be created by man, but the matter of strictly supervising the Sanfu River Canal and Tuntian is well aware of the heavy responsibility and difficulty of opening a canal, which is far from such a simple thing.

Ignoring the limitations of the mountain topography, the changes of the seasons, the direction of the river, the amount of water, the level of the water level, and the degree of looseness of the soil, rashly digging a river canal is often the end of half the effort, and if you are not careful, you will kill countless river workers and civil servants.

When Yan Xing heard this, something suddenly occurred in his heart, and he looked at Yan Zhi and asked:

"Since it is difficult because of the water level problem, can we build a number of weir gates on the section that crosses the lacquer water, thereby raising the water level, and the weir is used to connect the channel through the ditch, and the door is used to drain the lacquer water, so as to realize the canal across the lacquer water."

In the face of Yan Xing's inquiry, Yan Zhi pondered for a long time before replying:

"It may be possible to build a number of weir gates to cross the lacquered water, but at the moment I don't agree with the general's eastward expansion into a national canal!"

"Why?"

"Just like the reason that the general was prevented from rebuilding the former Hanlong Shouqu at the beginning, the construction period is too long, and it consumes too much people's money and food, which is not conducive to Guanzhong's recuperation and recuperation."

After Yan Xing listened to Yan Zhi's words, he also fell silent.

Feng Yijun suffered relatively lightly from the war among the three auxiliaries, so he was the first target of Yan Xing's operation. In fact, in addition to the Zhengguo Canal and the two Baiqu canals in the county, there is a third river canal water conservancy, which is more famous in later generations than the other two river canals, and its name is Longshou Canal.

Nowadays, the Longshou Canal has been abandoned, and after Yan Xing learned about it, he originally wanted to rebuild the three canals, but he was stopped by strict instructions, and finally only concentrated manpower and material resources to build the two rivers and canals of Zhengguo Canal and Bai Canal for water conservancy.

As for the reason, Yan Zhu pointed out that the Longshou Canal diverted Luo water to Weishui, and it is said that more than 10,000 hectares of fields could be irrigated, and the fertile fields along the canal could receive the benefit of yielding ten stones per mu, but the loess soil of Shangyan Mountain through which the canal passed was loose, and it was easy to cause the canal to collapse after rebuilding the canal and diverting water into the canal.

Yan Xing also knew that the loess soil was loose and very easy to collapse when encountering water, and the former Han Dynasty also adopted the well canal construction method during construction, that is, the way of digging karez wells to build the Longshou Canal, but after completion, the Longshou Canal, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, did not play an obvious effect. Slowly, with the passage of time, this Longshou Canal was finally completely abandoned.

Theoretically, wells, canals and channels can be dealt with by bricks, stone linings and other methods, seepage, collapse and other problems, but the manpower and material resources required for this are also huge, and Yan Yu thought that this was unbearable for the people of Guanzhong, at least not at least not what Yan Xing in the initial Guanzhong could bear.

At that time, after Yan Zhu explained the reason for the block, Yan Xing no longer mentioned the plan to build the Longshou Canal, and today heard that Yan Zhu used the reason for preventing the construction of the Longshou Canal to prevent the eastward expansion into a national canal, Yan Xing was silent for a long time, and finally agreed with Yan Zhu's judgment again.

The overlord put down the plan to expand eastward into a national canal in the short term, which means that Meng Da, who vigorously advocates the policy of eastward expansion, will not be reused, and even with the Fazheng, it is impossible to use it immediately.

Yan Zhu did not approve of eastward expansion, but did not oppose westward expansion. Yan Xing didn't dwell too much on this matter, he looked at the surging river from the embankment, and said with a smile:

"After looking at the canal mouth of Yixian County, it is time for us to go to Chencang, inspect the terrain trend of mountains and rivers along the way, and finalize the channel route for westward expansion by the way!"
