Li Han secretly decided to find out the inside story of this matter as soon as possible, and it just so happened that the Marquis of Jianling was not in a hurry to get the grain, so he might as well start investigating from Wei Juan, and then think about dealing with it after knowing the truth.

After making up his mind, Li Han did not break it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, if you really want to retire, I agree with it very much, but I don't agree with you living in the manor and drinking with my father-in-law."

You are still young and strong, you can do big things, our family is going to do a big project recently, if you are not afraid of hard work, want to go to Jiangnan to change the environment, when we are the water transport manager? ”

Liu Li asked in surprise: "What big project are you going to work on?" Boy, don't blame Uncle Liu for not reminding you, that sentence is still what you said before, it's called 'People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong'.

Your family is too profitable because of the business of the big pharmacy and the winery, and has become enemies with the three fathers and sons of the Tangyi Hou, and now you have made a new grain and a paper mill, so you can be regarded as a wealthy man in Chang'an City, so it will be stable for a while. ”

Li Han smiled disapprerovingly: "Uncle Liu, the truth is true, but now is different from the past, I am no longer the fragile and bullying child before I went to the Huns, and the project we want to develop is closely related to the development of the imperial court, it can be said that the more we make money, the happier the imperial court will be." ”

"Ha, yes, I know that you are now a majestic and terrifying lord of the Huns, Shura Li Han, Chen Wu's family wants to bully you again, it is indeed asking for hardship, but you said that the more you make money, the happier the court is, I can't figure it out, then you can talk about it."

Li Han was stunned after hearing Liu Li's words, and asked, "Shura Li Han?" It's the first time I've heard of this title, where did Uncle Liu hear it? ”

"Why don't you know?" Liu Li said: "Since you exerted your majesty in the Huns, whether it was bright or dark, plus pretending to be gods and ghosts, in short, you killed nearly 10,000 iron horsemen, and the Huns gave you a majestic name." It's called 'Shura Li Han', and they say that you are a strange thing that is half a saint and half a devil, and they call this thing 'Shura', and the old man sounds pretty good. ”

Li Han, that sweat!

The word "Shura" was spread to the Xiongnu when he founded the Holy Heavenly Sect, and it tells that there is another space between heaven and earth controlled by heavenly demons, and the heavenly demons in it are both good and evil, neither human, nor god or ghost, but another form of existence between the Three Realms, called "Shura". I didn't expect the Huns to use this name on themselves, this is the standard of digging a pit and jumping by itself.

"Hey, this ...... This Shura means the gods, but it is actually very different from the half-saint and half-demon that the Huns say. Shura and Asura come from Sanskrit, Shura is 'upright', the Chinese people call it the god, Sanskrit 'A' is a negative word, and Asura is translated as 'undunuo'. Unprovoked and naturally ugly, fierce and aggressive. And Shura's appearance can be called magnificent.

It seems that the Huns thought I was very good-looking, as handsome as a god, so they called me that. ”

After listening to Li Han's explanation, a group of laughter came from the door. When he turned his face, it turned out that a group of little girls were eavesdropping at the door, Fang Yue snorted, and they all ran away.

Li Hanmeow saw Fang Yuxiu in the crowd. It's a little embarrassing, I feel that I boast that I am handsome, and I am heard by my fiancée. It seems a bit disrespectful to the old...... Uh, well, I forgot that I was fifteen years old, not old, not old.

Liu Li and Fang Yue couldn't help laughing, and reminded Li Han to hurry up and get down to business, so Li Han said: "Uncle Liu, you will definitely be interested in the project I want to start, do you know?" Little nephew, I am also a high-ranking official now, Shaofu Cheng, if it is a thousand years from now, it will be a high-ranking official of the third grade......"

"What is one or two thousand years from now, what kind of products will the officials talk about?" The second elder was surprised.

"Uh...... Hit you! Li Han knew that he was bald again, so he slapped himself in the mouth in annoyance, and hurriedly said, "Anyway, it's a high-ranking official, right?" The responsibility of the Shaofu is to help the royal family make money and support the royal family with the tax from the mountains and seas and ponds, and at present, the water transportation channels of the Han Dynasty are basically idle, and even some income is very limited.

I just want to establish a trade road through the waterway, and take advantage of the fact that the emperor has just approved my trade strategy with foreign countries, and vigorously develop the shipping industry, which will not only open up a good waterway for the country, but also make a lot of money for ourselves. ”

Fang Yue and Liu Li were both a little dizzy, because Li Han's child was only so young, why was the plan proposed every time it was so huge that they couldn't accept it? This shock made them forget what Li Han said.

Li Han looked at the expressions of the two of them, and knew that it would definitely not work to speak in the vernacular, so he went back to his laboratory and brought the most accurate map, which was more detailed than Zhang Fangda's, and the division of domestic regions and waterways was all very detailed.

The map was rolled out, and Li Han drew a red line along the waterway of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, starting from Danyang (now Hangzhou) in the south to Yanguo (now Beijing) in the north, passing through the four provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Hebei and the cities of Tianjin and Beijing, and connecting the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River, and the Qiantang River, with a total length of about 1,797 kilometers.

Pointing and saying: "Uncle Liu, please see, this waterway was dug during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but it is basically for the military campaign to conquer other countries. For example, the direct purpose of Wu Wangfu to send people to dig a ditch was to transport the army to the northern expedition to Qi, the area was too short, and the scale was not large.

We can use their foundation to set up a water transport wharf in Danyang County, and set up an imperial merchant warehouse listed in Shaofu in the city, where we can concentrate goods, and then follow Huiji County, Xuzhou to Langxi, Jiaodong, and Bohai County, in this place in Guangyang Kingdom......"

Li Han pointed to the location of Tianjin in the later generations and said: "Although it is only a small fishing village now, its geographical location is very important, it is the gateway to the vast sea, and a freight terminal is set up here, called 'Tianjin', and a Li family warehouse is set up here to become a second cargo replenishment place."

We can divide the profits into two parts, the first is the cost of using the waterway, which belongs to the royal family, and the second is the profit generated by the goods, which belongs to our family. ”

Liu Li and Fang Yue seemed to have become mute, no, they were deaf and dumb, and they looked at the map in front of them in a daze.

Li Han's mouth was dry but he didn't hear a response, so he couldn't help but look up and ask in frustration: "Dad, Uncle Liu, have you listened to me?" ”

"This ...... Where did you get this? Liu Li asked even more dryly.

"I painted it, otherwise you think it would take me more than three years to send a family to the Huns?"

Li Hantian shamelessly used his plagiarism to cover up his behavior of looking for his wife on the way back, and said triumphantly: "I have a lot of ideas in the Xiongnu, but I must know the territory of the Han Dynasty well before I can coordinate the operation, so on the way back, I took Juyong Pass to enter the pass, walked back to Beijing along this line, and drew this map along the way." ”

Li Han talked for a long time and still didn't hear a reaction, and looked up weakly, his father-in-law was still sluggish, but Liu Li was full of tears, this strange scene scared him enough, jumped up and asked, "Uncle Liu, what's wrong with you?" ”

"When the rebellion was quelled, if there was such a detailed map, the old man would not have taken the wrong path and missed the rebels, so he was laughed at by Prime Minister Zhou Cheng for several years...... Yesterday he went to the barracks, and once again used this time to ridicule the old man......"

Li Han breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the old man was also shocked by the map, think about it, where did the ancients have the level and ability to travel all over Kyushu and draw accurate maps, if he didn't hide an e-reader, where could he draw this thing just by traveling back to the mountains and rivers.

Moreover, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is ready to be used, was dug in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and after a large extension of the Sui Dynasty and the renovation of the Yuan Dynasty, it formed a Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal with the Great Wall and Karez.

"Uncle Liu, rest assured, even if you really want to quit the army temporarily, in the future, when our waterway is opened, the child will also be connected to the sea, and you will make the east, west, north and south all surrender, and there are big battles that need to be fought, and when the time comes, I will draw you more detailed charts and maps, so that you can be invincible and invincible?"

Liu Li looked at Li Han with new eyes, and said for a while: "Han'er, in the future, Uncle can no longer treat you as a child, you can have the world in mind, and have the Lingyun ambition to expand the territory, Uncle is willing for you to drive, okay, I'll do it for you, the chief of water transportation!" ”

When Li Han returned, he wanted to go to Hangzhou to find Liu Bottle, and by the way, he explored all the routes of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and he found that the waterways between this line were vertical and horizontal, and there was no transitional development during the Han Dynasty, and the abundant water resources were more than enough, and the only few waterways had not yet been connected, but the scale of construction was not large.

Moreover, in the middle of exploration, Li Han skillfully took advantage of the situation and extended the inland part of the Grand Canal a little outward to connect Shanghai Road, so that although it was a little farther away, it could reduce a lot of breakthrough projects, which was very feasible.

Although he did not find Liu Bei, Li Han's harvest was very large, and he found that Jiangnan, known as the land of fish and rice, has not developed on a large scale in many later generations.

Take Hangzhou as an example, today's Danyang County does not have Hangzhou City, and the West Lake is also a rather dilapidated town, just like Tianjin is a fishing village, all belong to a blank sheet of paper, just so that he can show his wonderful pen to depict two prosperous commercial cities, to create an imperial mall that belongs to Li Han and also belongs to the Han Dynasty.
