PS: Today's third update, 15,000 words!

For Lu Xiufu, it would be great if he could reclaim this piece of wasteland that was close at hand, but it was always difficult to get, so he looked at Guo Shoujing and Chen Yuanliang with more and more expectations, after all, how could a person who could see the pros and cons of this wasteland at a glance be a wild talker?

If it weren't for the fact that Tianwu Army's firearm research and development fell on the shoulders of the two of them, and Lu Xiufu asked himself if he couldn't find anyone else who could replace him, then he probably wouldn't hesitate to detain these two talents.

"The terrain here is quite high, and it is not close to Fushui and Wanghu, I don't know how the two gentlemen plan to divert water?" Ye Yingwu asked curiously, although there were many tools for diverting water from low to high places in ancient times, such as turning bone waterwheels and the like, but these were for short distances, and in the face of such long-distance water diversion, ditches had to be excavated, but how to dig ditches was another science.

Guo Shoujing said with a smile: "In fact, if you make you willing to do it, then it will not only benefit this wasteland. The subordinates thought that the best option was not just to dig a ditch. ”

Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu were both stunned, and looked curiously at this master of water control who had already made a name for himself in the north, wondering what good ideas Guo Shoujing could come up with. Guo Shoujing didn't want to pretend to be mysterious, and said directly:

"The envoy also knows that to the south is the net lake and rich water, this water, a lake across the three counties of Xingzhou, and the amount of water is quite sufficient, after the heavy rain in midsummer, it can even make the warship go straight to the moat, and the surrounding fields will be submerged, but in spring and autumn. Once the water slows down, there will be a large area of river beach that cannot be cultivated. ”

Ye Yingwu frowned. The immediate reaction was: "You mean damming the upper reaches to control the amount of water in the rich water and the net lake." And direct water diversion from the opening of the dam to here? ”

Guo Shoujing said with a smile: "The envoy said more than half of it, it is true that his subordinates plan to build a dam upstream to divert water, but it is to divert water directly from the moat, after all, the water of the moat goes directly to the network lake, and it is also the closest river to this open space, there are network lakes and dams, so there is no need to worry about the water level of the moat dropping." ”

Lu Xiufu suddenly understood, and couldn't help but be convinced in his heart, he and Ye Yingwu had actually gone into a misunderstanding before. Because in the eyes of normal people, the moat should be irrigated from the outside, and there is no reason to divert water from the moat to irrigate other places, but the moat in Xingzhou is quite sufficient because it is a nearby water diversion from the net lake, so it is feasible to direct water diversion to irrigate this wasteland!

Ye Yingwu's frowning brows couldn't help but ease, compared with Guo Shoujing, maybe Ye Yingwu couldn't defeat him from water conservancy knowledge and architecture. But after all, Ye Yingwu has more than 700 years of experience, and he is quite familiar with the history of the development of water conservancy projects in modern times, and he has done it after the founding of New China by cutting off the amount of water-rich water to control the network lake and the amount of water-rich water in order to irrigate the surrounding fields. This is the case with the Fushui reservoir built upstream of Fushui, which shows that Guo's vision is feasible.

Moreover, the Fushui Reservoir was built shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, when water conservancy was still in its infancy. And there is a lack of sufficient machinery to build a reservoir that will last for decades. It is enough to see the feasibility and simplicity of building a reservoir in the upper reaches of Fushui, and now Guo Shoujing, who has left a great name in the history of 5,000 years, is personally in charge. Ye Yingwu believes that even in this era, such a reservoir can still be built!

After pondering for a moment, Ye Yingwu looked at Guo Shoujing and asked directly: "I don't want to ask anything more, I just want to ask a question, how sure is it?" ”

Guo Shoujing and Chen Yuanliang glanced at each other, and they both saw the ecstatic look in each other's eyes, for these craftsmen, if they were simply allowed to study gunpowder and firearms, even if Ye Yingwu said all the national righteousness, it would always make them feel awkward in their hearts, and now they can seek real benefits for the people of this side, which naturally makes the two of them excited and expectant.

Maybe the fertile land can be regarded as being able to make up for the sins of the various murderous firearms they developed, although Chen Yuanliang and Guo Shoujing, as pragmatists, do not believe in anything, but subconsciously they naturally think that accumulating some yin virtue is good after all.

After pondering for a moment, Guo Shoujing said cautiously: "To tell the truth, I am almost sure, before I went to Fushui, Wanghu and other places to see it on the spot, my subordinates really didn't dare to say it, and now I am at least fifty percent sure, please forgive me." ”

And Chen Yuanliang, who was standing next to Guo Shoujing, was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that his partner would be confused at this time, not to mention Ye Yingwu, if he was replaced by another normal official, he would not be able to take risks with fifty percent of the things he was sure of, after all, this kind of thing would add glory to them, but if it didn't work, all the officials in charge above would not escape the blame.

Ye Yingwu nodded, he saw all the reactions of Guo Shoujing and Chen Yuanliang, Guo Shoujing is a typical practitioner, naturally he will not say anything big before he is sure; And Chen Yuanliang belongs to the theoretical school, and it is normal to have other ideas before taking things down, in fact, Ye Yingwu is just curious about what kind of miracle the most famous practical and theoretical schools at the turn of Mongolia and Song can work together.

Lu Xiufu, who was standing behind Ye Yingwu, was obviously a little nervous, although he was Ye Yingwu's eldest brother, but he was not sure what Ye Zhijun was thinking at this time, as the new governor of Xingzhou, Lu Xiufu naturally hoped to build such a water conservancy project, which would not only leave a meritorious career on his resume, but also be able to alleviate the food shortage in Xingzhou at this time.

"Fifty percent sure, it's enough." Ye Yingwu spoke slowly, and he could obviously hear Guo Shoujing and Chen Yuanliang's breathing a sigh of relief, "The Tianwu Army has fought in the north and south of the Han River, and has won many battles, but that time it wasn't taking risks and gambling?" As long as the two gentlemen know what to expect, they don't ask for more. ”

Guo Shoujing's face showed a look of ecstasy, and he hurriedly solemnly arched his hand: "I will not disgrace my life!" ”

Before the words fell, suddenly there was a slight cold feeling in the arm, and several people on the hill were slightly stunned, before they could react. The sky was slowly overcast, and the fine and dense rains fell on the vast land with the wind. Wash the green hills in the distance.

Ye Yingwu didn't panic and beckoned his subordinates to take shelter from the rain, but smiled calmly: "Take a look." This god seems to have been touched by the two of them! ”

Guo Shoujing, Chen Yuanliang, Lu Xiufu and others couldn't help laughing.

The crowd under the hillside did not disperse, but sang and danced in this wind and rain, after all, in their opinion, this spring rain is a good thing, everyone just prayed to God for the wind and rain, this spring rain has fallen finely and densely, is it not that God heard the sincere prayer of the people on this side? There were even people kneeling in the wind and rain, muttering prayers.

A carriage rushed to the bottom of the hill quickly, and Xiao Yangzi and several guards hurriedly greeted Ye Yingwu and the four of them with their robes. Xiao Yangzi cautiously patted the cloth in his hand: "Envoy, this rain came too suddenly, I really couldn't find an umbrella, so I could only use this coat to make a living." ”

Ye Yingwu was stunned, and immediately copied a coat casually: "You kid is really unreasonable, when we rushed to kill in front, didn't we also wear this robe, making it look like a beautiful little lady with everyone, embarrassing!" ”

Xiao Yangzi smiled. But he didn't speak, and behind Ye Yingwu, Guo Shoujing and others also skillfully picked up the lily clothes, like Guo Shoujing and Chen Yuanliang, it is not unheard of to walk in the mud on a rainy day. And Lu Xiufu often braves the rain to investigate the counties below, so it is not a new thing for them.

Guo Shoujing was in a good mood, and he caught up with the rain in spring. While dressing skillfully, he patted his hat and said with a smile: "Don't listen to the sound of Lin beating leaves." Why don't you groan and walk slowly, bamboo canes and shoes are lighter than horses. Who is afraid, a cloud of smoke and rain will be in his life! ”

Lu Xiufu also nodded kindly: "Today, you might as well experience the feeling of experiencing this Dongpo Weng, let's go!" ”

Ye Yingwu glanced back at them with some disdain, the bamboo cane in his hand knocked on the stones on the hillside, and Langlang chanted: "There are thousands of willows in the spring breeze, and 600 million Shenzhou is full of Shunyao." The red rain turns into waves at will, and the green mountains turn into bridges. ”

Behind him, Lu Xiufu and the others all showed a look of surprise and admiration, they had heard that Ye Yuanjun's poetry was very good, but they had not seen him show it on weekdays, and now they suddenly blurted out, which really shocked them, Ye Yingwu, who opened his mouth to chant at this moment, seemed to be no longer the general in their hearts or a politician who played with the enemies of officialdom in the palm of their hands, but a poet who took steps in the spring breeze and spring rain.

It seems that these four lines of poetry were also easily acquired by Ye Yingwu after completing this role transformation, how can it not be amazing.

Feeling the appreciative gaze cast on one side, Ye Yingwu subconsciously shrunk his neck, after all, this kind of misappropriation of the poems of later generations is really a bit disgraceful. Thinking of another thing, Ye Yingwu hurriedly looked at Lu Xiufu and wanted to change the topic:

"Junshi, this time, 5,000 people were transferred from the four northbound soldiers of the Tianwu Army to return to Lin'an with a certain person, how did things go? Do you remember that this matter was ordered to enter the king? ”

Lu Xiufu nodded, the division of labor was very clear at that time, the matter of the Tianwu Army's transfer of soldiers belonged to Wang Jin, and he and Xie Fangde were mainly responsible for the bereavement and reward of the soldiers: "Yesterday evening, the people have been selected, in addition to the 1,000 soldiers with the greatest merits, the other 1,000 soldiers will be transferred from each compartment to form 5,000 people." ”

Ye Yingwu was slightly stunned, and even when he saw the cunning look on Lu Xiufu's face, he suddenly understood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this time Wang Jin really used his brain, these five thousand people did not include Ye Yingwu's hundred battle cavalry, obviously wanted to let Bai Zhandu follow Ye Yingwu's personal guard into Lin'an, not counting among these five thousand people, so that Ye Yingwu's command could increase the number of five hundred soldiers openly. After all, in a Longtan tiger's den like Lin'an, five hundred people are better than nothing.

And Ye Yingwu can also think that this time all the compartments must not have cut corners, and the ones sent are definitely the elites who have gone through several bloody battles, only by ensuring that Ye Yingwu is foolproof in Lin'an, can we ensure the stability and rise of the Tianwu Army's status in the Great Song Dynasty, which everyone knows well, and naturally cannot hold Ye Yuanjun back at this time.

Lu Xiufu walked forward and said softly: "Since Yizu opened the dynasty, there is no precedent for the return of the army to the dynasty, I don't know what the envoy plans this time, but use the Xingzhou Navy Division to go directly to Zhenjiang Mansion?" ”

"Don't take the waterway," Ye Yingwu said with a smile. "The waterway is too fast, and it can't show where the Tianwu Army's troops are. Let's just take the road honestly, and the more state capitals we pass, the better. Let the officials of those state capitals take a good look at what kind of Tianwu Army is the Tianwu Army, and what kind of Ye Yingwu is a certain Ye Yingwu! ”

Not only Lu Xiufu, but Guo Shoujing and Chen Yuanliang, who had been following silently behind, were also shocked by Song Ran, this is a march, it is simply a march in Chiguoguo, showing off and showing off their muscles to the officials of various state capitals, so that they should not choose the wrong direction when they should make a choice.

Lu Xiufu couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, sure enough, no matter how much he and Wang Jin calculated. I still haven't calculated this Ye Yuanjun, but the name of the old treacherous and cunning is not bad at all, but I didn't expect Ye Yingji to be such an honest and loyal person to have such a cunning and difficult brother, but thinking about Ye Mengding's style of life, I am relieved.

What kind of father is there, what kind of child is there?

"But Zhenjiang Mansion can't be taken lightly." Ye Yingwu said softly, "The town navy also won a big battle in Huaibei this time, and the reward of the imperial court is estimated to come down soon." And the town navy can also come back, I don't believe that Li Tingzhi and Li Anfu can be in Ezhou for so long, not to mention that the loss of Jingangtai and his Huai army are also inseparable, it is estimated that now Li Anfu is also preparing to return to Lianghuai to kill. This time it's lively. ”

Lu Xiufu's eyes burst into essence, and he immediately looked at Ye Yingwu with some excitement: "Then wouldn't you be able to launch a counterattack in Lianghuai?" Does Xiangyang also need to follow suit? Everywhere is in trouble at the same time, and it is estimated that the Mongolian Tartars also have a headache. ”

The Lu family in Zhenjiang was originally in Chuzhou. It's just that because of the war between the two Huai, it has to move inward, if the Song army can fight back. Lu Xiufu is naturally happy, the Lu family is still rich in Chuzhou in the final analysis.

Shook his head. Although Ye Yingwu knew his brother-in-law's thoughts, he also had to pour a basin of cold water on him: "Li Tingzhi wants to make a difference in Lianghuai, it's not so simple, Boyan and Huaidu, which one is a role to deal with, Boyan's ability must also know that he can fight a way out under the siege of the three compartments of my Tianwu Army, what kind of character is this?" There is also Huaidu, who led the Mongolian Tatars to almost make the town navy unable to eat under the threat of flying thunder cannons. It's not that someone has the ambition of others and destroys his own prestige, but with the ability of Li Tingzhi, Su and Zhang, the two generals, how easy is it to defeat the alliance of these two? ”

"What do you mean?" Lu Xiufu was stunned, and the smile on his face immediately froze.

"This time, there are two Huai, and there is another scene to watch." Ye Yingwu couldn't help but sigh softly, obviously not at ease with Li Tingzhi, "Li Anfu is also a talented and virtuous person, but it's a pity that the Huai Army under his command, although it can be called elite, is still difficult to compare with the Tianwu Army after all, not to mention that without the Flying Thunder Cannon, it is difficult to ensure that Huaidu and Boyan can sit steadily." What worries me even more is that this time Zhang Hongfan is also up-and-coming, I didn't expect to be able to escape twice, if this guy catches any flaws, I'm afraid Li Tingzhi will have to walk around in Lianghuai. ”

Chen Yuanliang, who was standing behind Ye Yingwu, couldn't help but speak after all: "Then why didn't the envoy hand over the flying thunder cannon to Huai Jun, even if he bought it, his subordinates estimated that Li Anfu should be willing." ”

Guo Shoujing hurriedly tugged at his sleeve, Chen Yuanliang is a scholar in the end, the current situation is so complicated, he may get into trouble with this opening! Guo Shoujing has been in the officialdom in the north for a long time, so he naturally understands the relationship, but Chen Yuanliang doesn't understand.

In fact, the reason in this is very simple, the flying thunder cannon is not the flying thunder cannon of the Great Song Dynasty, but the flying thunder cannon of the Tianwu Army, if it is given to the Huai Army, it is penetrated through the truth, then who can guarantee that it will not be used to deal with Ye Yingwu and the Tianwu Army, who are on the rise? This is something related to the lifeblood and future of the Tianwu Army, how can it be given to others?

Lu Xiufu's face changed slightly, and he looked at Ye Yingwu, and Ye Yingwu took a slight breath, and the bamboo cane pointed to the road ahead: "Let's go, go back to the city, don't talk about this matter first, one step is one step!" The two gentlemen, please take a good look at how this rich water should be treated, and how the fire gun should be made, these things Yuan Lie has no way to say more, so he can only ask the two of them to bother. ”

Chen Yuanliang's face turned white suddenly, knowing that he had just said the wrong thing, Ye Yingwu was telling himself vaguely, if you are not good at this officialdom, don't interfere more, I am not good at this scientific and technological matter, and I will not interfere much, let's go our own way and get along well. (To be continued.) )
