Chapter XXVIII

The eldest grandson was very confused.

The wide surface of the big river in front of him made Changsun Tang stunned.

Not long after leaving the Yellow River, another big river appeared in front of the five people, and Changsun Tang could be sure that such a big river could not exist here.

"Ma San, what is this river called?" The eldest grandson asked for help on the spot.

"The Yellow River!" Ma San looked at Changsun Tang with an idiotic look.

"And the river we just left?"

"It's also the Yellow River." Ma San's contempt was even worse.

"So we're going back?" The eldest grandson was even more confused, he could be sure that this Liyin Mountain was closer.

"Not either." The answer is so crisp and clear.

"Speak well." Wang Tie Dan said while laughing.

"The Yellow River is divided into two branches here, and this is the northern branch in front of it."

"The Yellow River is actually divided into two here?" The eldest grandson was a little skeptical. Changsun Tang knew that the lower reaches of the Yellow River were often diverted, but he really didn't know that the Yellow River was so willful to divide into two in the middle reaches. But this may be good news.

"Yes, the dense water network here is basically separated by the Yellow River." Ma San said.

"Then tell me more about the terrain here." is inconsistent with the impression, so the eldest grandson needs to understand.

"You've really found the right person, I've been around this Elechuan many times." Ma San boasted.

"And what's the name of this mountain?" Looking at the craggy rocks on the bare mountain opposite, the eldest grandson asked.

"This section is called Wolf Mountain, and the east side is called Yin Mountain. Back then, Huo Qubing passed through the Wolf Juxu from here. Ma San knows this place very well.

"Are there a lot of wolves in this Wolf Mountain?" Ge Fengyou came out from somewhere to steal the camera again.

"Forget it, when I didn't say it." Under the murderous gaze of a crowd, Ge Feng disappeared automatically.

"Maybe. Every winter, many wolves from the north side of this mountain will pass through this mountain and come to the warm Elechuan River. Ma San explained.

"I'm right." Ge Feng came out again.

And then disappeared in the eyes of everyone again.

After passing through a large red willow forest, the river is wider and turns to the south.

The eldest grandson looked at the scene in front of him, which made him feel that his outlook on life had changed greatly.

In his mind, the north is a world of grasslands or deserts, but what appears in front of him is a piece of water that is still the same.

The towering red willows along the way are already beginning to sprout, a large field of reeds is spreading out on the shore, and a few wild ducks are already playing on the lake.

Such a large lake appeared so suddenly, without any mental preparation for the eldest grandson.

"How can there be such a big lake here?" Changsun Tang is very much like an idiot at this time.

"How do I know, he's here." Ma San replied.

"How big is this lake?"

"I don't know, anyway, the fish in Shuofang City are basically from here."

The eldest grandson was a little speechless.

When you arrive at this lake, it is not far from Shuofang City.

It only took a day and a half to work hard, and the group of five people returned to Shuofang City.

"Lord Eldest Sun, what have you gained from this trip?" Su Dingfang asked.

"General Qiyu, I waited for a group of five people for nearly a month, walking along the inner edge of the Yellow River, and this is another little idea."

"Come on." Tuntian is not just a matter of the eldest grandson.

It can be said that what Changsun Tang wants is the process of Tuntian, and the result of this Tuntian will be directly related to the existence of Shuofang's military power. Therefore, although this Shuofang is a border army, it has also undertaken a lot of tasks in Tuntian.

"There are two aspects that need to be considered in this tuntian, one of which is the problem of the field." Changsun Yu said.

"It's not a big deal, the land here is basically ownerless. It's just that there is something wrong with the water source. Su Dingfang was a little depressed, guarding the Yellow River and watching the crops wither, which was really unacceptable.

"That's exactly what I'm going to say." The eldest grandson took a sip of water and continued: "I don't know if the general knows Zheng Guoqu? ”

"This is known, Qin Ding Liufang, one of the factors is that this artificial canal makes Guanzhong no longer worry about hunger." Su Dingfang didn't quite understand.

"It was an irrigation project built by a patriot named Zheng Guo in the Qin State, in order to delay the expansion of the Qin State." Changsun Yu continued.

"You're saying you can build an artificial river here?" Su Dingfang understood.

"Yes, I found that there is a natural foundation for building an artificial river, the Yellow River is divided into two here, and there are several connected in the middle, if we can build a water conservancy project like Dujiangyan, this must be a country of abundance."

If there is such a piece of land in the northwest as a base for advancement, the strategic depth of the Central Plains region will advance thousands of miles from Guanzhong to the north. It was the eldest grandson's voice full of excitement.

"It's not that we haven't thought about this, but this water conservancy project is a very good thing, but if you look at the scale of this Shuofang City, you will know the difficulty of it." It's not that Su Dingfang didn't think about it like this.

Many of the garrisons of this Shuofang dynasty have not only thought about it, but also tried it, and all of them have failed.

There are two main reasons for this, the first is that there is a shortage of manpower, and the garrison of Shuofang City has never exceeded 10,000 people, and these 10,000 people have to repair water conservancy projects and tuntian, which cannot be done at all.

"You mean the shortage of manpower. This is our second factor to consider. The eldest grandson had a confident expression.

"It's a question, and we're not going to talk about it for now. But there's another problem. Su Dingfang still admired Changsun Tang for being able to figure out the situation here in such a short period of time. There is no longer the coldness in his tone.

Whenever we encounter difficulties, the first thing we think of is always those who are down-to-earth and willing to work.

"What's the problem?" The eldest grandson was a little puzzled.

He was about to use the slave trader's theory to talk about Su Dingfang, the fiercest general in the era of the Little Nine Emperors, pulling on his thief ship, but he was questioned.

"Yes, even if an artificial river is excavated, the water level of the artificial river is below the ground. The volume of the Yellow River is so large that no one dares to build an artificial river on the ground. Su Dingfang threw this question out.

The Yellow River is surrounded by the Yellow River, which shows that the terrain here is low on both sides and high in the middle, and there is no pump at this time, so lifting the water up is a more serious problem.

"Oh, this ......" Eldest Sun Tang was a little speechless.

"There's always a way, isn't it?" After saying this, the eldest grandson hurriedly left.
