Chapter 974: Water Control Dacheng

The Liao State is dead. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Yelu Hongji issued the edict of abdication, the Liao State became history.

After the sacrifice of prisoners, Yelu Hongji and more than 100 others were arranged in a large manor next to Shanglin Yuan, although they had no worries about food and clothing, but there were countless forbidden troops guarding outside. This manor can't get in. If there is no accident, these Liao royal families will be imprisoned until they die of old age.

But Yelu Hongji will not be lonely, because there is one person who arrived several years before him - Li Renzong, the prince of Dayue in Jiaozhi. The Great Yue Emperor Li Rizun is dead, but his son is recuperating here. When Li Renzong arrived here, he was only two or three years old, and more than ten years have passed, and he has grown into a young man.

Hearing that Yelu Hongji was coming, Li Renzong was also a person who studied Han culture, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, and even made the decision to marry his sister to Yelu Jun.

The two in-laws really "hit it off at first sight", "treated each other with all their hearts", hugged their heads and cried.

After weeping, Yeluhongji also accepted the reality and lived leisurely in this manor.

Yelu Hongji and Li Renzong became New Year's friends, and the two talked about everything, drinking and talking, playing chess, writing poems, and studying songs. One day, Yelu Hongji and Li Renzong were in the shade of a tree, each holding a pot of "soju" that had just been launched on the market, and played Go.

Looking at the black and white pieces on the chessboard, Yelu Hongji seemed to see the scene of thousands of troops galloping that day, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart: "You say, who is the next emperor to come?" ”

Li Renzong was stunned for a moment, and then said quite lonely: "I don't pay attention to those mundane things, I still think about the outside here, and I am asking for trouble!" ”

Yelu Hongji insisted on saying: "I'm here, can the others still run away?" In my opinion, the king of Goryeo, the king of the Uighurs, and the king of the Black Khan have all come! And what Emperor Toei is? He will definitely be hated, and there is nothing to take the name of the emperor, isn't it asking for trouble! ”

Li Renzong said uncertainly: "I don't know the rest, but the Uighurs have any 'Hui Hui Cannon', which is not weaker than Dashun!" ”

Yelu Hongji laughed and said, "'Return to the cannon'? Not still a trebuchet! Even if it is more powerful, how many miles can it hit? Dashun's artillery can hit ten miles away! ”

Li Renzong sighed: "Dashun is still rising, there is no room for us to survive......"

Yelu Hongji also took a sip of violent soju lonely, half-opened his hazy drunken eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, my great Liao is dead, and it's useless to say this......"

The two of them didn't have the heart to play chess, you took a sip of wine, I drank a sip of wine, and soon they were both drunk, hugged each other, hugged each other and cried. Later, the families of both sides came to pull it, but they couldn't pull it away.

Chang'an City, inside the Imperial Palace.

Two dusty officials were being summoned by Lu Chengqi.

"The two Qing families, hard work!" Lu Chengqi said sincerely, "You have made a great achievement for Dashun that has never been seen before or after you!" On behalf of the people of the world, thank you to the two Qing families! ”

After that, Lu Chengqi bowed to them, frightened the two of them, and hurriedly straightened Lu Chengqi: "Your Majesty, I can't help it, I can't help it!" ”

These two people are Li Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Chen Xun, the supervisor of Qintian. They have been working hard for more than ten years to preside over the dredging of the Yellow River and the digging of the Grand Canal. In ancient times, Dayu controlled the water, and he did not enter the house three times. Today, Li Xun and Chen Xun dug the canal, and he has not returned to Beijing for more than ten years.

The canal of Dashun widened the deep mountain Yangdu, and opened the Ji canal, connecting Luo, Huang, Bian, and Si Zhushui to reach the Huai River. Later, the canal was widened to reach Hangzhou, and at the same time, the Yongji Canal was dug near Luoyang to pass the Wei River, and then the Jeju River and the Huitong River were dug and the river was dug to canalize the river. After the opening of the Grand Canal, the channel was greatly shortened, and even connected Chang'an, Luoyang and Youzhou, which not only made the water of the Yellow River have a place to go and would not flood again, but also made the Yangtze River connect the Yellow River, making water transportation more convenient.

Although there is a lot of money, tens of thousands of dollars have been spent so far. The merit is in the present and the benefits are in the future, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the significance of the Grand Canal for commercial development.

Coupled with shipping, even if Chang'an does not produce grain in the future, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River will continue to be transported over with energy.

The entire Central Plains is connected into a piece, and there is no communication.

With the Grand Canal, Lu Chengqi is more confident. He knew that as long as there was a Grand Canal, he insisted on planting trees and maintaining water and soil, and he would not be afraid of the flooding of the Yellow River. With the Grand Canal, grain from the south can also supply the north, which was even more important during the Xiaoice period. With food, the people will not rise up. The second is business. With the opening of the Grand Canal, all along the route are economically prosperous places.

Once the people become rich, are they afraid that they will not have money to buy things?

"Make, absolutely make!"

Lu Chengqi slowly straightened up and said in a deep voice: "I remember the merits of the two Qing families clearly. In the fifth year of Hongxiang, the sky rained rain, and the Yellow River will burst, and it is you who will save the day; In the eighth year of Hongxiang, there was too much rain along the Yellow River, and it was also because of the canal that the danger could be solved; In July of the tenth year of Hongxiang, the water level of the Daimyo's Mansion, Guantao, Yongji, Qingyang, and Lanzhou was urgent, and it was also you who practiced and personally supervised the formation, so as to keep the Yellow River without a break. The following year, although the Xiajin of the Daimyo's Mansion broke down, it was only a little more than a distraction, and it was not a big trouble. In the thirteenth year of Hongxiang, it rained again in the sky, but it was always helpless to see the water level of the Yellow River, not the work of the Grand Canal? ”

Chen Xun and Li Jie were moved, they didn't expect Lu Chengqi to really remember it clearly, and said with red eyes: "Your Majesty praises falsely, and the ministers are afraid!" ”

"No, the merits of the two Qing families are unparalleled in ancient times, and I can't compare to them. This is not a false praise, but you deserve it! Lu Chengqi said with emotion that he knew how short of tap water would be in the future, and if there was no south-to-north water diversion project, I am afraid that the population in the north would be directly reduced by half. Although the excavation of the Grand Canal costs money and money, once it is dug through, it will be a great contribution to the nation!

National heroes are not only Huo Quai, but also Chen Xun and Li Jie!

"I have decided, Feng Li Qing is the young master, and Chen Qing is the young guard!" Lu Chengqi dropped a bombshell.

"Your Majesty, by all means!" Li Jie was greatly surprised, although he knew that Lu Chengqi would definitely be rewarded, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy. Although the young master and the young guard are fictitious, they have no real position. But that's still the prince's nominal teacher! One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, and the crown prince will ascend the throne in the future, aren't they a supreme minister?

Chen Xun saw Li Jie like this, and he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart. However, he also knows that the political struggle between the DPRK and China is a murderous affair without blood, and they occupy a high position. If you are not careful, you will never recover.

"Don't say it, I've made up my mind." Lu Chengqi said firmly, "I want the world to know that the Grand Canal is my wisest decision!" ”

The emperor said so, and they couldn't hold their own opinion. Over the years, Lu Chengqi's majesty has become more and more powerful, and few people can influence his thoughts. Although Lu Chengqi also realized that this was inappropriate, he still had to do it for the sake of that majestic ambition. Isn't it just an arbitrary regime? He has more than a thousand years of knowledge, and he can bring Dashun on the right track!
