After half a ring, His Majesty Li Er looked at Chu Ze, pointed to the European territory, and asked, "The terrain of these places is what you have seen in the books handed down from your ancestors?" I don't know how your Chu family ancestors knew about these things? I, Datang, have never had a word about the far West, and what you say seems to be true, at least I believe it, because so far, you have never done anything unreliable. ”

His Majesty Li Er's words were subtle, but the meaning of inquiry was very obvious, and Chu Ze knew that this was also a common problem ———— suspicion of the Sons of Heaven in all dynasties. After calming down, there will be instinctive doubts about everything.

Chu Ze had no choice but to continue lying: "According to the records of my Chu family ancestors, there was a wise man in our Chu family ancestors......... It is rumored that he lived for at least 150 years, and it took him a full hundred years to travel the world before he gradually figured out what our world looks like, well! It's not very precise, but the approximate range is not wrong. ”

In fact, the topography of some places on this map is still different from now, such as the estuary of the Wei River, the estuary of the Yangtze River, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, etc., Chu Ze has carefully compared with the map of the current world, and then added the general shape of the world, it has become the current appearance.

Next, the six monarchs and ministers discussed the tangled around the map for more than an hour. Only then did he return to the topic again and began to discuss and discuss the governance of the Wei River this year.

Of course, no one will doubt the method of building the reservoir that Chu Ze said before, and it is in accordance with the ordinary suitable places in the prefectures and counties corresponding to the places where the reservoirs were built as marked by Chu Ze. Now all that is discussed is further refinement and division of labor, such as how much labor to be transferred, when the construction is suitable, how much financial resources must be spent, who is specifically responsible, how to issue the general orders of the imperial court, and so on.

After the above things were finalized, Cen Wenwen said: "It will take at least next year for the reservoir method to be contributed, but this year's prevention of the Wei River, I am afraid that the top priority is to recruit labor and raise the existing embankment." ”

"But now the Wei River around the construction of the embankment to take soil more and more difficult, near Chang'an City has been taking soil for many years, in the heavy rain season, Chang'an nearby counties because of the low terrain, the formation of a lot of potholes, can no longer from the counties and towns under the jurisdiction of Chang'an to take too much soil and stone to raise the embankment. And to take soil and stones from a distance, the cost of manpower, material resources, and financial resources will inevitably increase compared with last year. ”

Fang Xuanling knew that it was inevitable to raise the embankment in front of him, and he was specifically responsible for the use of money in this matter, so he first laid out the difficulties.

"That's right! Chu Ze was secretly worried in his heart, and he couldn't help but have a historical record in his mind that he had seen in later generations, and he thought about it a little vaguely.

"I remember that in the historical records, in the early Tang Dynasty, the Wei River burst its embankments in Weinan and Lintong Pass, and the scale and intensity were the largest in hundreds of years, and more than 20 counties near the area along the Wei River were affected, and the walls of Chang'an City were almost washed away, but what year was this born?"

Chu Ze frowned and pondered. His Majesty Li Er and others discussed how to raise the embankment, but he didn't hear it.

"Ah......" Chu Ze suddenly remembered a historical record, in the eleventh year of Zhenguan (636 AD), in March of the peach blossom flood, the Wei River broke in Lintong County, Weinan County, under the jurisdiction of Chang'an, nearly one million people were affected, and after the catastrophe, countless people starved to death, and the plague and died of countless diseases. The flood is also considered to be the largest flood in the Wei River in hundreds of years.

Thinking of this, Chu Ze couldn't help but exclaim.

His Majesty Li Er, who was discussing the elevation of the embankment of the Wei River, and the matter of labor and money sent out, were alarmed and looked at Chu Ze. The eldest grandson Wuji frowned even more, and scolded with some dissatisfaction: "In front of Your Majesty, how can you shout, what kind of system is this." ”

Including Fang Xuanling, the other three ministers also looked at Chu Ze with reproach. On the contrary, His Majesty Li Er was also about to scold, but then he saw the panic on Chu Ze's face, and he sighed in his heart, and suddenly felt a little bad.

"Chu Ze! What do you remember? Why are you screaming so much? His Majesty Li Er asked in a deep voice.

Chu Ze is very entangled now, if there is an error in the historical record, the hat of a beceasance will be buckled.

If you ignore it, this is of course the safest way, no one will know except Chu Ze himself, and there will be no trouble. But when he thought of the flood recorded in history in his memory, twenty or thirty counties near Chang'an were affected, tens of thousands of people were drowned, millions of people were displaced, countless of them starved to death, and the plague broke out, and countless deaths from disease, Chu Ze shuddered when he thought about it.

"It's a dead knot!" Chu Ze was extremely entangled in his heart.

"Your Majesty! If I say that in March next year, the Wei River will burst its banks in Weinan and Lintong, and the biggest flood in hundreds of years will erupt, do you believe it or not? Chu Ze looked at His Majesty Li Er cautiously and said weakly.

"What did you say?" After His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, his pupils shrank, and he looked at Chu Ze and asked. After the others were stunned for a moment, they reacted, and their faces changed, and they all looked at Chu Ze deadly.

Being looked at by His Majesty Li Er, Fang Xuanling and several other ministers with such eyes, the momentum and aura alone made Chu Ze feel a little difficult to breathe, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

Chu Ze took a long breath, forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, and said, "Return to Your Majesty!" When Chen was a child, he saw a record in the book that a wise man on the ancestor of the Chu family calculated that in March next year, the Wei River would burst its embankments in Weinan and Lintong, and nearly one million people's homes would be destroyed and displaced, and a great plague would be caused. At first glance, Shi Chen didn't care, but suddenly remembered that the time calculated by the wise man of the Chu family was getting closer and closer, so he panicked and exclaimed, disturbing Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. ”

After Chu Ze finished speaking in one breath, he gradually calmed down, but there was silence in the main hall. Everyone looked at Chu Ze, but no one spoke for a long time.

Of course, what Chu Ze said is too unbelievable, who can predict the future?

"Are you saying that in March next year, the Wei River will burst its banks, causing a catastrophic flood?" The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to react, and shouted with a questioning and somewhat angry face. In fact, others were equally skeptical.

Since Chu Ze has already said it, he must stick to it to the end.

"Many things recorded in the wise book of the Chu family have been fulfilled one by one, not to mention anything else, just the map is almost inferior. Since he said that there was a catastrophic flood in March next year, it is very likely that there was a catastrophic flood. Chu Ze said as calmly as possible.

His Majesty Li Er was much calmer than Chu Ze imagined at this time, but he just withdrew his smile and looked extremely gloomy. At this time, he believed in Chu Ze more than others, and in his opinion, Chu Ze would not be open-minded. Because even if this matter is really born, it will not do Chu Ze any good, it will only bring disaster, he doesn't believe in Chu Ze's wisdom, he will not understand this truth.

In addition, in the world, no matter where there is a flood or drought, there is no such thing as a thousand miles of red land and a foreign country, and the people of the capital are starving to death. His Majesty Li Er thinks that he is the first emperor of the ages, and he will never allow such a thing to happen.
