Chapter 251: Whimsical

Hearing that Lu Chengqi was so heartfelt and thought about himself so much, Li Jie, even if it was a piece of wood, should be touched at this moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhat's more, people are not grass and trees, although Li Jie has a wooden temperament and is honest, his IQ is very high, and he can tell that Lu Chengqi really values himself.

If you change a person, you will be like this by the Holy Family, and when you go out of the Donghua Gate, your head will be raised to the sky. Often this kind of pampered and arrogant person will not end up much better. The emperor can tolerate a courtier because of his talent. But the temperament is too perverse, and the emperor will not be pleased. Over time, no matter how talented you are, you will be dragged down by your personality and gradually lose the trust of the emperor. As a result, the ministers also lost their holy favor and became a person who everyone could scold against.

Character determines life, and there is some truth in what is said. If Li Jie was a high-flying and domineering person, Lu Chengqi would definitely not dare to use him so much. On the contrary, he is extremely worthy of the kind of officials who work diligently, who are not greedy for merit and do not seek fame. Lu Chengqi, as the boss of all officials in Dashun, has the right to decide on promotion and deprecation, when you don't take other officials seriously, as an emperor, will you still raise such a courtier, indulge him and harm the officialdom? I'm afraid that no emperor would do this, and would rather give up his talents than demote him from Chang'an and serve as a governor.

Li Jie felt the strong holy affection, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty shouldn't be like this, the minister is just a mediocre person, how can he afford His Majesty to be so important?" ”

Li Jie told the truth, and under the influence of concepts, Li Jie himself felt that his interest was difficult to get into the hall of elegance. was previously in the general as a supervisor, and he had already labeled himself as a craftsman, entered the Ministry of Industry, and served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he couldn't take off the hat of a craftsman. The view of craftsmen in this era also made Li Jie feel that his skills were nothing more than Er'er.

Lu Chengqi comforted with kind words: "Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion." Since Li Qing has such talent, why can't he become Dashun's public loser? The public loss class is still admired by the world, why is Li Qing arrogant? ”

When Li Jie heard this, he was quite touched. But he was wooden by nature, and he didn't know what to say. Lu Chengqi smiled and said, "Li Qing, your skills may not be in the eyes of the other officials. But in my opinion, in the entire territory of Dashun, you Li Qing is the only one! Looking for Dashun officials, is there a person like Li Qing, who is proficient in architecture, tuntian, water conservancy, roads, and river governance? If Li Qing can find out half of it, I have nothing to say! ”

When Li Jie heard this, for the first time, from the bottom of his heart, he had a spontaneous sense of pride in his "professional skills". Yes, it's all about the goods and the emperor's family, just sell the goods. Maybe Li Jie's writing is not good enough, but his architecture, tuntian, water conservancy and other aspects are first-class masters!

But when I heard that Lu Chengqi talked about governing the river, Li Jie was still a little unconfident. Dayu's water control, Li Bing's water control deeds, Li Jiezi knows, and he has also read the river canal chapter in the "Historical Records". But this is like talking about soldiers on paper, just reading the military book, but there is no practice, whether it can be done, you have to say!

Based on this, Li Jie immediately told Lu Chengqi his worries.

When Lu Chengqi heard this, he laughed and said: "It will take thirteen years for Dayu to control the water; It will take five years for Li Bing to control the water. If Li Qing wants to do it in one step, he will underestimate the power of this heaven and earth. I know that the disadvantages of the Yellow River have been around for a long time. The people along the coast, every time the flood floods, their lives are ruined and their property is empty. Li Qing doesn't want to do something that will benefit the future for Li Min and future generations? I know that there may be geniuses in the world, but there are very few. Most of them are based on the experience of predecessors, make bold assumptions, and carefully verify in order to continue to develop. It's the same way to govern the river, Li Qing, you said that you are not sure, where is someone who is 10% sure for the first time? Didn't Dayu fail many times before he succeeded! Don't underestimate yourself, in practice, find a way, I believe that Li Qing can definitely do it! ”

When Li Jie heard this, his heart was touched. Encourage him not to be discouraged, in addition to teaching his teacher, is the little emperor in front of him. This little emperor, not to mention his political achievements for the time being, is very good at encouraging people. Li Jie's honest temperament was said by Lu Chengqi to be eager to try.

In the end, he is still a somewhat stable person, Li Jie handed the river control plan he had prepared long ago to Lu Chengqi. This was originally given by Lu Chengqi to give him three days to plan, but he didn't expect him to get it out in just two days, and the efficiency can be seen.

Spread out more than a dozen engineering drawings in front of Lu Chengqi, and Lu Chengqi looked at them.

Seeing such sloppy engineering drawings for map work, Lu Chengqi felt that his head was big for a while. After all, ancient maps are very sketchy, and the mountains and rivers are accurately mapped. What's more, Li Jie searched many books and maps, and the engineering drawings he drew were already very accurate. However, Lu Chengqi really didn't feel anything about it, and after watching it for a while, he really couldn't understand it, so he asked Li Jie to explain.

After listening to Li Jie's method, Lu Chengqi felt that it was not practical. His methods, such as blocking the breach, diverting water to the east, opening the Liuta River, and building dams along the river, are all methods that have been discussed by predecessors and have achieved certain results.

Lu Chengqi didn't understand how to control the river, but he also knew that these methods, if you want to achieve the effect of river control in ancient times without cement, will definitely be poor. The allusions of Dayu's water control have told future generations that it is better to be sparse than blocked. Because the trees in the upper reaches have been cut down, the sediment is not solid and washes into the river, and the water of the Yellow River is mixed with a large amount of sediment, rushing to the middle and lower reaches, and the riverbed is raised, forming a hanging river on the ground. In addition, the downstream is mostly curved, which strengthens the flow rate of the water and also strengthens the impact on the riverbank. Most of the reasons for the Yellow River breaking are this, and when it comes to the rainy season, the river water swells, and it is strange that it does not burst.

Since the establishment of the Great Shun Dynasty, the Yellow River has broken no less than dozens of times, each with tens of millions of coins, but it has no effect. The point is that there was really no good way to deal with this earthly dragon in ancient times.

Lu Chengqi patiently read Li Jie's engineering drawings, and suddenly said: "Li Qing, do you say that if you open a canal connecting Luo, Huang, Bian, and Sishui to the Huai River, can you alleviate the flooding of the Yellow River?" ”

In order to control the river, Li Jie has long kept in mind the water system of the Yellow River basin and the water system of the Yangtze River basin. As soon as Lu Chengqi said this, he immediately appeared in his mind the scale of this Grand Canal. After having an intuitive image, Li Jie was stunned by Lu Chengqi's "whimsical" idea: "Your Majesty, this is ...... Such a large excavation canal will cost people and money, and I am afraid that life will be unexpected! (To be continued.) )
