"It's the Bai Ying I said before." Yu Kedi looked at the fire without raising his head, and said, "The old man on the river knows this generation of waterways well...... His suggestion to Song Shangshu was to change the river in this area of Jining. ”

His face became serious, "In the early years, even when His Majesty Emperor Taizu was still there, didn't the Yellow River burst and flooded, and it would be broken by the river?" At that time, Song Shangshu also came to treat it, but it was not cured, and Gai could only barely use it because of the lack of water. At this time, this person gave an idea, is he going to borrow water from Wenshui or something...... Anyway, the news from Song Shangshu's side was just delivered, and the adults have been looking at the map for the past two days, and they also ran out to investigate in person during the day. ”

The project is presided over by Song Li, the person in charge, and Shen Steallan should not be idle enough to act on his behalf.

Xi Fuwei thought for a while, raised her eyebrows and asked, "But are you afraid that people will make trouble after knowing this news?" ”

"Nature." Yu Ke said, "After all, there are still a lot of people in the DPRK who don't want to move the capital, not to mention that Jianwen Yu is also eyeing the enemy, and he wants to take advantage of the opportunity for His Majesty to lead the troops outside!" ”

"Even if Your Majesty is leading the troops, how many people still remember Jianwen in this world?" Xi Fuwei covered her mouth and smiled, "It's hard to come and become a climate." ”

Yu Kedi glanced at her meaningfully when he heard this, and said: "This is not necessarily, after all, the Battle of Jingyan has not yet reached a generation in the past, even if it has been calm all these years...... Who can guarantee that they just won't? ”

Xi Fuwei heard what he meant, thought for a moment, looked outside, and asked in a low voice, "King Han?" ”

Yu Kedi gave her an approving look.

…… That is to say, even if there was no big danger in escorting Kaihe, but because of Shen Zhaolan's relationship with the crown prince, the King of Han might attack Shen Zhaolan under the banner of Jianwen's remnants?

Xi Fuwei instantly felt like she was on a thief ship.

She also counted on Shen Steal Lan to protect herself, but Shen Thief Lan herself was a pond fish who was involved!

Compared with Jianwen Yu, who has not made any big moves for almost ten years, the King of Han is the second son of Emperor Yongle, and he still frequently made military exploits in the earlier battle of Jingjing, and his soldiers are strong and strong.

And compared to Shen Weilan, who is from a noble background and the nephew of the crown princess, where can he be as noble as the prince?

“…… Didn't the Shen family send more henchmen to the adults? Xi Fuwei pinched her forehead a little unbearably, "Or do you think His Royal Highness the King of Han is measured?" ”

Yu Kedi sneered and said, "If you go to Ying Tianfu in the future and inquire casually, you will know, His Royal Highness the King of Han is measured?" That's a good joke. ”

In fact, Xi Fuwei had vaguely heard some rumors about the cruel temperament of King Han and King Zhao earlier, but at that time she felt that this kind of thing had nothing to do with her, and she didn't take it to heart.

At this moment, seeing Yu Kedi say this, he couldn't help sighing, and said in his heart that if these two still knew about proportion, it would be okay, since they didn't care so much about proportion, who knew what they would do?

"But don't worry too much." Yu Kedi saw her thoughts and said, "It's like Zou Fu knows your details but still doesn't dare to touch you, how can we all carry the banner of the Son of Heaven's pro-army." Even if it is a prince, if he wants to tamper with us, he has to weigh it...... After all, no matter how generous the prince is, it is impossible for him to watch the princess's maiden family suffer all the grievances for him and be indifferent. ”

Shen Steallan is just a junior, and he is not important in the prince's camp.

If the king of Han and the king of Zhao gave too much control to the crown prince in order to kill him...... The prince will die of joy.

Those two princes are not fools.

"Wenshui ......" Xi Fuwei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said in a deep voice, "Next, adults are only afraid that they will have to go out to patrol often, and adults should be riding horses, right?" ”

Yu Kedi said "um", raised his head and said, "Why are you asking this?" Do you want to learn how to ride a horse and follow the adults? It's just that although there is no shortage of women in the brocade guard, adults take you on this occasion, but I am afraid that you will be criticized. ”

"Isn't it just for me to make men's clothes?" Xi Fuwei pondered that she had no achievements in Zou Mansion, and although she was reluctant to stay now, she couldn't just be a scholar seriously, she still had to seize the opportunity to perform more.

The problem is that she used to be the eldest lady of the Xi family, and in addition to being a little involved in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she learned to take care of the family business.

These skills are not used at all......

If you continue to stay in this yard, you won't be able to learn anything at all, so it's better to go out for a run and maybe get something rewarding!

She said, "Anyway, it's so cold now, everyone goes out and wraps them tightly...... At most, I don't say anything or talk less. ”

Yu Kedi groaned: "I can find someone to teach you how to ride a horse, but I don't know if the adults are willing to take you." ”

And at this moment, in the study, Shen Weilan was contemplating a pile of maps in front of him.

In addition to the map of Wenshui that Yu Kedi had just taken, there is also a map of the Huitong River on the case at this moment.

Although they are now all in the Grand Canal, and it is one of the confidence of Emperor Yongle to insist on moving the capital to Shuntianfu, the Huitong River is very young compared to other sections of the Grand Canal connecting the north and south.

It was excavated in the twenty-sixth year of the previous dynasty and the time of Yuan Shizu.

Starting from Xucheng, Shandong, to Linqing to arrive at Yuhe, the total length is more than 250 miles, there is a gate of 30, and there are more than 2.5 million laborers used at that time.

Two years later, Yuan Shizu listened to the advice of Guo Shoujing, the Taishi Ling, and sent many soldiers, craftsmen, sailors, and "prisoners without officials" to dig the Tonghui River with a total length of more than 160 miles...... The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, and it was precisely because of this canal connecting the quasi-new capital with the richest Jiangnan in the country that Emperor Yongle was not worried about the food problem of Shuntianfu in the future.

It's just that there are some problems with the location of the water distribution site in the Yuan period, when the section of the river will be connected to Jeju, which was called the Jeju River earlier, with Mun and Si as the water sources, and these two waters will be diverted to the north and south after being diverted to Rencheng. However, Rencheng is not the highest point in this section, and when the water is divided, there are more in the south and less in the north.

As a result, the northern section of the river is shallow, and you can only go with a small boat, and when the big boat arrives here, you have to change to a small boat, and after this section, you can change to a big boat...... As you can imagine, it is troublesome.

Now that Emperor Yongle wants to move the capital, he will definitely not continue to tolerate this problem, so when the meeting is reconvened to open the river, improving the water distribution hub is the top priority.

According to the news sent by Song Li, Bai Ying, an old man in Wenshang who was familiar with the Huitong River, suggested that Wenshui should be diverted to build a new dam on the Wenshui riverbed near Dai Village, so as to divert the remaining water of Wenshui to Namwang and flow into the Jeju River.

In this way, the water volume of the Jeju North section has increased, and the navigable capacity does not need to be talked about [Note].

Shen Steallan had been reading poetry and books at home before he came to Shandong, and his family knew the news, and after he obtained this mission, he also temporarily understood the situation of the river in Xiahui, although it was certainly not as good as Song Li, looking at the map at this time, he was able to roughly think about the process of the entire project and the results after completion.

If there is no accident, after the opening of the river this time, it is said in the "Yuan Shi River Canal Chronicles": "The boat is thousands of miles, and there is nothing in the ancient world." "I'm afraid that such a grand occasion will soon reappear.

Although he came to Shandong with a very utilitarian purpose, even involving the dispute between the princes, Shen Steallan was also full of expectations for the opening of the river.

As for the Han king, Jianwen Yu, and those courtiers in the court who opposed the relocation of the capital...... The young man's eyes narrowed, his knuckles tapped lightly on several cases, and the light in his eyes flickered and flickered.

It took a while for the sound of footsteps from far and near to him to raise his head alertly.

After a while, Xi Fuwei walked in with low eyebrows and said, "My lord, you can use the rice, do you use it now, or do you wait a while?" ”

"Now." Shen Steallan saw that she had come over to inform her, frowned slightly, and said, "Why did you come over and defeat the enemy?" ”

Xi Fuwei thought that he was not happy to see him, and even suspected that he was deliberately looking for an opportunity to talk to him, so she sighed helplessly in her heart, and then said: "I don't know how to cook, so I can't help, so I can only share some errands for defeating the enemy." ”

Fortunately, Shen Weilan didn't say anything with a "hmm", cleaned up the map in front of her, and got up to follow her to the flower hall for dinner.

When he arrived at the flower hall, Yu Kedi had already set up the meal.

It can be seen that although Shen Steallan was born in a noble family, his living habits are not extravagant, and on the table of the Eight Immortals of Huanghuali, there are two dishes and one soup, as well as a small pot of rice.

Of course, the dishes are basically meaty.

After all, Shen Weilan has a good appetite at this age, and he is a person who practices martial arts, so he will definitely not be able to eat meat.

He eats quickly, and he doesn't need to be served by others at all, so Xi Fuwei, who was secretly pulled up his sleeves by Yu Ke and signaled to show a hand, is completely useless...... Well, maybe she's not used to the gap from lady to maid, and she's not professional at all in serving people.

In a depressed mood, he watched Shen Thief Lan return to the study after eating, cleaned up with Yu Kedi, and was about to volunteer to wash the dishes, when the effect of a piece of gold collar came out: Yu Thief made a pot of tea with his hands and feet and asked her to take it to Shen Thief Lan.

"Adults are used to having some tea at night at work." Yu Kedi advised, "You are smart! Don't put down your tea and leave, just talk to an adult. ”

“…… What is the right thing for me to talk to? Xi Fuwei humbly asked.

Yu Kedi hated iron and steel: "Adults have also made great achievements before, you have a brother who lifts people, and he is also knowledgeable, how can you find a topic and ask me?" I don't even know a word! ”

When Xi Fuwei heard the sentence "There was a brother who lifted people", she couldn't help but feel sour again, and was silent for a while before she said: "When I was at home before, I discussed some homework with my brother. But the adults don't seem to like to talk, so they speak rashly, just afraid that they will annoy him, right? ”

"Didn't you say that?" Yu Kedi said, "The adults don't like words, but they are not bad to their subordinates...... Anyway, you can bring it over, I'm afraid that the adults will want to drink tea later. ”

Xi Fuwei had no choice but to walk into Shen Steallan's house with tea, who knew before entering the door, she heard a soft sound of "buzz" outside the window, and before she could react, she had seen Shen Steallan kick over the bookcase, "aggressive" three times in a row like a torrential rain, and there were three more crossbow arrows on the desk in front of him!
