Chapter 30: Lu Bu's Wish
Seeing Chen Deng's sigh, everyone around him persuaded him. You know, they have the task of persuading Chen Deng to surrender.
"Yuanlong, why sigh, with your talent, as long as you serve the lord, you will have to be reused!"
"Yes, Yuanlong, the Han Dynasty has existed in name only, and now who from all walks of life doesn't want to take the Han Dynasty. Serve the lord, let's be ministers in the same palace, isn't it beautiful! β
"Yuanlong, look at it, such a delicacy in the world, except for the temperature, who can create it. Wen Hou is God's gift and is the true Son of Heaven. If you are stubborn again, I am afraid that Wen Hou will be impatient, and the Chen family will be in danger! β
"This!" Chen Deng was stunned. Now that the Xuzhou family has all surrendered to Lu Bu, it is really possible that Lu Bu will not allow the Chen family to rebel.
Everyone hurriedly persuaded again.
"Yes, just like that Cao Cao, do you really think that he is really recovering the Han family. I got the news yesterday that Cao Cao indiscriminately killed courtiers in Xuchang. The general Dong Cheng, the general of the cavalry, the prince of the partial general, the lieutenant of the school, and the generals Wu Zilan and Wu Shuo were all exterminated. Even, Cao Cao killed Dong Guifei in front of the Son of Heaven, without any scruples about the face of the Son of Heaven. Is this the way of a servant? Now the Son of Heaven has completely become a puppet and no longer has any rights. β
"Yes, Cao Cao also appointed himself the post of Xiangguo. I don't have the position of prime minister, and Cao Cao is also like Dong Zhuo, who proclaimed himself prime minister. The wolf's ambition is obvious. β
"Yes, Yuanlong, and look at Cao Cao and Wen Hou, who is the most open-minded. Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian also betrayed Wen Hou, but Wen Hou not only did not care, but still gave the military power to be reused. Although the Chen family was raided, as long as the Chen family was put into service, it would not be long before they would regain their glory. Yuanlong doesn't have to think about himself, he has to think about his family! β
β¦β¦
Everyone persuaded him, and Chen Deng couldn't help but be moved.
"Hey!" Chen Deng sighed again: "Okay, I'll go to the meeting!" β
Soon, Lu Bu met Chen Deng in the study.
The reason why Lu Bu left the Chen family was to win over the heart of the family, and the second was to value Chen Deng's talent.
Historically, Chen Deng governed the government well and was deeply loved by the people.
In this way, Lu Bu didn't want such a talent to die early.
Since it was a surrender, Lu Bu did not put on any face, but handed Chen Deng a picture scroll familiarly.
And when Chen Deng saw the contents of the scroll, he was extremely surprised.
"Wen Hou, what is this?"
Lu Bu smiled and explained: "This is my pre-drawn Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and now we have completely owned Xuzhou and the area of Mount Tai in Luguo." Therefore, I want to first irrigate the Yellow River, the Huai River and the Yangtze River. β
Oh, my God!
Chen Deng had to sigh, this is simply a peerless great project. If it can really connect the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, its role will not be less than the Great Wall.
However, after the shock, Chen Deng couldn't help but shake his head: "Wen Hou, although this project is great and has a lot of merit, if you want to complete it, it must be done for decades." Not to mention the troubled times now, even in the heyday, it is very difficult to do! β
However, Lu Bu smiled slightly: "Three years, I plan to complete this project within three years." And yes, it has to be done! β
"What, three years, how is this possible!" Chen Deng couldn't help but exclaim. How many people are in Xuzhou now, how he doesn't know. Even if you add the population that moved from Yuzhou, it is at most about 4 million. How many widows can be levied on this point of population, and how can it be completed in three years.
"If you dig with pure manpower, of course, you need infinite manpower and material resources. However, if you use an excavator to dig, it can't be easier! β
"Excavators?" Chen Deng was stunned.
Lu Bu smiled and carefully explained to Chen Deng what an excavator is and what it can do.
After listening, Chen Deng couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
If such a thing is true, it will be possible to complete this great project within three years.
At this moment, Chen Deng couldn't help but be excited.
If he can complete this great project, it will definitely go down in history!
And now that Lu Bu is showing him this thing, how can he not hand over this matter to him.
His heart moved, and Chen Deng hurriedly bowed and bowed: "Chen Deng, meet the lord!" β
"Hahahaha, okay, hurry up!" Lu Bu hurriedly helped each other.
Immediately, Lu Bu also said in a straight voice: "Yuanlong, from now on, I will let you work for me, and be in charge of the Grand Canal project." I want you to start forming a Grand Canal engineering team today to map the specific path of the canal. β¦β¦β
Lu Bu told Chen Deng in detail about a series of requirements.
First of all, the canal he asked for, both in width and depth, was higher than the historical Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
The width should be 100 meters, and the depth should be 10 meters. Moreover, the embankments on both sides of the river must be stabilized with large bluestone. Because even if there is cement, Lu Bu is not sure whether the cement can be preserved for thousands of years. Stone, on the other hand, is able.
In addition, a wharf is built every thirty miles or so. The pier had to be wide and created for future generations to prosper.
Of course, Lu Bu also learned from Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, planting a willow tree every ten meters on both sides of the river, and he also wanted to achieve a beautiful landscape.
It's just that Lu Bu also knows that this project is not easy. Even with an excavator, the manpower and material resources required are astronomical.
Therefore, LΓΌ Bu had to start a war.
Purpose, to plunder the population.
It's just that Lu Bu's goal is not internal, but external.
Lu Bu didn't know how long he would live, so he hoped to fulfill his three major wishes in his lifetime.
1. Pacify the prairie and stop the historical tragedy of Wuhu chaos.
Second, the extermination of the Japanese nation and the venting of historical hatred.
3. Incorporate North America into the territory of the Han people, so that Greater China will always be the first in the world.
In order to fulfill these three major wishes in his lifetime, LΓΌ Bu preferred to unify all military forces with the outside world.
Even if he can't unify the Han people, he believes that his son can.
Lu Bu had a clear plan in his mind, and next, it was time to build a navy.
Lu Bu quickly summoned Chen Gong and at the same time summoned several shipwright leaders.
Yes, all craftsmen who come to Xuzhou need to go to the Ministry of Industry to study and visit for a period of time.
He wanted them to understand the various machines and tools that Lu Bu had created.
These shipwrights are mostly in two or three months, and less in January, and they basically have a considerable understanding.
The five people who are here now are also the most skilled craftsmen among them.
And when everyone saw the engineering drawings given by Lu Bu, they were all shocked.
One of them said in a trembling voice, "Wen Hou, this ship is so huge, can it really be built?" β
Lu Bu shook his head and smiled: "Your vision is too small, in your eyes you are already a giant, and it is not worth mentioning in my eyes." Because my goal is not the river, but the endless sea! β
What the!
Everyone was shocked again, it turned out that what Lu Bu was going to build was actually a sea ship.
Lu Bu continued: "I'm sure you've all seen the steam engine and propeller created by the Ministry of Industry, right? β
The five craftsmen looked moved, and one of them said: "Looking back, this machine is indeed amazing." If you have this thing as a driving force, you do have the ability to swim the sea. β
"Hmm!" Lu Bu nodded and said, "I don't know much, the engineering drawings given to you are just a rough model in my mind." How to build it depends on your concerted efforts! β
The five of them responded in unison: "We must work together!" β
"Good!" Lu Bu laughed: "On the day the warship is built, you will all have a big prize!" β
"Thank you for your wait!" Everyone's hearts were full of excitement.
Not only because of the treatment after coming to Xuzhou, but also because there are endless careers waiting for them to create.
This is the embodiment of value and the most noble ideal in the hearts of craftsmen.
Today, only Lu Bu can do this for them.
