Bai Tu traveled all the way from Jiangxia to Nanjun, and after staying in Jiangling for a few days, he came to Zigui County.

The government affairs of Zigui County, especially the construction of water conservancy, really made the officials of the six ministries and Bai Tu shine - quickly catch up with the average level of Yangzhou during the period of the General's Mansion!

Zigui County is on the side of the Yangtze River, the water system is abundant, the west is Wushan, there is part of the remaining veins of Wushan in the county, separated from the mountains and rivers of Ba County, sitting in the position of the river out of Wushan, it is indeed a good place to build water conservancy.

But...... You must know that during the Liu Biao period, the Jingzhou government did not attach importance to the people's livelihood and water conservancy projects in various counties and localities, and there were no sharp weapons such as cement.

In this case, Zigui can reach the average level of Yangzhou, which has enough to show its county order ability......

Although the officials of the six ministries were surprised by this, Bai Tu had already expected it, after all, the county order of Zigui was the famous Li Yan - okay, in fact, it was not Dingding.

As an internal civil official, Li Yan obviously has great flaws in court politics, which can be regarded as Zhuge Liang's...... Half a political enemy?

The battle of Yiling in history, or the war with Eastern Wu, can be said to be the biggest mistake in Liu Bei's life, but he had to make this mistake.

After defeating the White Emperor, Liu Bei had no chance to redeem his mistakes, so he could only finally arrange the future, and "White Emperor Tuogu" can be said to be Liu Bei's last success, Zhuge Liang did not live up to Liu Bei's trust in him, even if the Northern Expedition was not completed in the end, it was not a battle.

But in fact, when the "White Emperor entrusted Gu", Liu Bei entrusted two people, and the other was Li Yan!

If the Fazheng was still there at that time, there might have been a better choice, but there was no if......

In history, Li Yan first went out of Jingzhou as the commander of Zigui County, and then when Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, he defected to Xichuan and became the county commander of Chengdu, and surrendered to Liu Bei when Liu Bei and Liu Zhang turned against each other and surrendered to Liu Bei when the two armies of Mianzhu confronted each other.

Therefore, Li Yan, like Fei Yi and Dong Yun, is a native of Jingzhou with a Xichuan background, and has basically been in the ranks of Xichuan TOP5 during Liu Bei's lifetime, especially after the death of Fa Zheng and Liu Ba one after another, Li Yan seems to be second to Zhuge Liang.

However, after Tuogu, Li Yan not only often disagreed with Zhuge Liang, but also ...... The popularity is not good, and the temper is so bad that things like "Fei Guan and Li Yan have a good relationship" can be specially written into the history books.

Moreover, Liu Chan was also closer to Zhuge Liang, and soon alienated Li Yan, so Li Yan immediately changed his routine, and was very respectful to Zhuge Liang on the surface, and even teased Zhuge Liang to give Jiuxi ......

Later, when Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan for the fourth time, Li Yan supervised the unfavorable grain and grass, so that Zhuge Liang had to withdraw the army, and afterwards he bit back in front of Liu Chan and told Zhuge Liang about his black state, but Zhuge Liang was like the protagonist, and directly took out the book that Li Yan gave him, exposing his lies, and slapping his face wildly, so far...... Li Yan was dismissed from office and was never used again.

The reason why he is "half a political enemy" is that Li Yan does not show up at all in the list of Zhuge Liang's opponents.

After Li Yan was dismissed, although he was not used again, Zhuge Liang promoted his son Li Feng to the prime minister's mansion Changshi - that is, his deputy, who was still responsible for supervising the grain and grass.

Probably Zhuge Liang didn't take him as an opponent, but he was just wishful thinking......

"Xiaguan Li Yan, meet the King of Chu, and I have met all the adults." At this time, when Li Yan was summoned by Bai Tu, he was still a little excited.

After all, he himself knows that his political achievements in Zigui are very good!

Although during the Liu Biao period, the Jingzhou government didn't care about these, but ...... Judging from the current situation, the state of Chu should attach importance to his merits.

Li Yan was in his early thirties at this time, with a middle-aged appearance, although his temperament was not greasy, but he was a little unpleasantly "high-spirited" - the kind that he did not meet with five points of self-esteem.

For example, as soon as Li Yan came in, he looked directly at Bai Tu.

Bai Tu doesn't pay attention to not letting his subordinates look at his own set, otherwise there is no eye contact, and the effect of the source of the rainbow is not good!

It's just that......

Li Yan didn't seem to have anyone else in his eyes except Bai Tu, and he didn't even have the afterglow when he mentioned "Ladies and Gentlemen".

Probably in Li Yan's heart, these tool people can commend themselves now, and then watch themselves be in the cabinet for three years, enter the cabinet in five years, and reach the peak of life......

"Fang is from Nanyang, right? Yes, this king has read your resume, and during his tenure as the Zigui Order, he has made quite a lot of political achievements...... Well, in terms of the construction of water conservancy and people's livelihood, when Liu Biao was still there, he could catch up with most of the county orders under the rule of this king. Bai Tu had a praising tone, but ...... It's not too high-minded.

Li Yan's temperament is similar to Wei Yan, Chen Shou, who compiled the "Three Kingdoms", is a native of Shu, and his understanding of Shu Chen is clearer......

However, in front of Wei Yan's "again", there is at least a "good soldier", that is, when leading the troops, his subordinates are all convinced of him, and they ...... Now Wei Yan is less than twenty, and his plasticity is still very strong.

In contrast, Li Yan and Bai Tu wanted to use it, but they were afraid of its "characteristics", so it was not easy to hold and use, and they didn't even dare to do their best with the source of the rainbow.

"The king has been known for thousands of years, and naturally it is not comparable to Liu Jingzhou." Li Yan seemed to understand something, and took a picture of Baitu's sycophant in time, but it's a pity that ...... He won't be the source of the rainbow.

Bai Tu didn't want to hear that......

"No, it's not just the credit of this king, but the result of the joint efforts of six ministries and one court......

In the past few years, Fang Zheng was able to build water conservancy in Zigui County, but it is a real credit, if you can adapt to the new system of Chu State, this king is looking forward to you. Bai Tu affirmed Li Yan's merits on the one hand, and actively guided him on the other hand, but he was also heartbroken.

Indeed, in the governance of the local area, Li Yan has a very high level, especially in water conservancy, in the early days of Liu Bei's pacification of Xichuan, Li Yan repaired water conservancy, and once had a great reputation among the people.

Even in the later Song Dynasty, some water conservancy projects that were not built by Li Yan were mistakenly thought to be built by him, which shows his impression in the eyes of the common people.

Therefore, Li Yan is a person, Bai Tu does not want to give up because he is one of the "Six Pits of Shu Han" ordered by Chen Shou......

"The king praises it, but ...... If it is water conservancy, the lower officials are also confident in themselves! Li Yan emphasized.

Without Bai Tu asking, Li Yan himself said: "Although Xiaguan is from Nanyang, his ancestor is Li Luhai, the Taishou of Qinshu County in the pre-Qin period, and Xiaguan has been very interested in this aspect of family learning since he was seven years old. The pride in his tone remained.

When he heard the words "Li Luhai", Bai Tu and the other officials of the six ministries, while surprised, did not feel that his pride at this time was excessive.

Lu Hai is an honorific title, referring to Li Bing who built Dujiangyan!

Li Bing and his son, who laid the foundation of the "Land of Abundance" in Shudi, have been highly respected in all dynasties and official people for more than 2,000 years.

It's just a pity that limited to the simplicity of the history of the Qin State and the subsequent loss, Li Bing not only has an unknown background, but even the "son" of Li Bing's father and son has not even been able to leave his name.

Bai Tu didn't expect that Li Yan still had this kind of family history?

In this way, Bai Tu is also more interested in Li Yan, and there are many example drawings and structural drawings of water conservancy projects, but ...... Excellent engineers are not able to mass-produce with drawings, of course, they still have talent and foundation in this area, so they can further improve!

"In that case...... Li Yan, this king has a heavy task to entrust to you, you can do it? ”

Bai Tu thought about it and talked to Li Yan about the water conservancy project planned by Wugong County......
