Three years have passed, and Li Meng is obviously older.

The folds on his face were like the bark of an old tree, his hair was almost completely white, his skin was cracked, and his waist was a little hunched, but his eyes seemed brighter than before.

In the past three years, Li Meng has completely forgotten to sleep and eat, and personally traveled to all corners of Shang Ji's rule, explored the environment on the spot, personally planned and designed, and poured all his efforts into water conservancy planning.

Seeing Shang Ji again, Li Meng tried his best to straighten his waist, the corners of his mouth cracked, revealing a smile: "The old man has not lived up to the trust of Yanhou, and the water conservancy plan has been successfully completed!" ”

"Thank you Master Li, hundreds of millions of people in the three regions of the Ji Dynasty, thank you Master Li for your kindness!"

Shang Ji solemnly bowed and thanked him quite movingly.

Shang Ji's words were not simply polite, Li Luo was simply heartbroken for the sake of water conservancy construction, and his emotional investment in several places in Pingzhou far exceeded that of Shang Ji, the Pingzhou pastor.

"Hahaha, Yan Hou is polite!"

Li Miao smiled heroically, waved his hand and said: "Yan Hou is serious, fortunately thanks to Yan Hou's full support, the old man was able to complete his lifelong wish." In addition to Yan Hou in the world, I am afraid that there is no second prince who can help Lao Yu complete such a magnificent project, and Lao Yu should be grateful to Yan Hou. ”

"Hahaha, don't be polite to each other. The lord trusts Li Shi, and Li Shi reciprocates with affection, which is why such a project is completed, and this matter will definitely leave a strong mark in history for future generations to sing. ”

Deng Yan laughed, took the initiative to come out, looked at the two and said.

"Yes, yes, Hongzhu is right." Shang Ji also connected the entrance, and at the same time motioned for Li Meng to enter the hall.

Today is not only the moment of completion of the three-year construction plan, but also the moment of summing up the achievements and celebrating the victory.

Li Meng was not very polite, as one of the four god-level grandmasters of the Shang Ji Army, or a grandmaster who had just made great achievements, he was qualified to let Shang Ji come forward to greet him in person.

After Li Meng took his seat, the meeting was officially convened.

Deng Yan presided over the meeting, and after a brief opening remarks, the meeting went straight to the point.

"Next, I would like to invite Li Qing, the captain of the water control school, to introduce to us the achievements of water conservancy construction in the past three years!"

As soon as Deng Yan's words fell, he saw a young man about thirty years old stand up and walk to the front desk. If you look closely, you can find that this person looks highly similar to Li Ming, except for his age, he is simply a copy of Li Ming.

He is Li Qing's son.

As a god-level grandmaster, Li Ming's status is transcendent, that is, Shang Ji can be treated politely when he sees him, so it is naturally impossible to serve as a captain of the water control school (named a military position, but it is actually a civilian position, which belongs to the name of the Cheqi General's Mansion. It is convenient for Shang Ji to lead the overall situation as a chariot general, and his status is equivalent to that of the Minister of Water Resources in Shang Ji's sphere of influence), and this position naturally fell on the head of Li Qing, the son of Li Ming.

Of course, Li Qing is not a gentleman who relies on his father's merits, although his ability is not as good as Li Ming, but he is also a first-class water conservancy engineer in the world, and Li Qing has also made immortal contributions in the process of water conservancy construction.

"My lord, my colleagues!"

Li Qing saluted, and then waved his hand, and a two-zhang long map projection appeared in front of everyone, and the map was a detailed topographic map of water conservancy mountains and rivers under the rule of Shangji, such as Pingzhou, Chenzhou, and the Grassland Prefecture.

Li Qingyi controlled the projection and introduced: "With the support of the Lord and the concerted efforts of all colleagues, the water conservancy construction has been successfully completed. In three years, we have excavated and dredged more than 6,000 miles of main rivers, opening up more than 10 original water systems. At the same time, 160,000 miles of irrigation ditches for farmland water conservancy were built, more than 13,600 sluices of various types were built, and more than 8,000 reservoirs of various sizes were built.

After dredging, the new inland shipping mileage of more than 10,000 miles can basically ensure that in addition to the grassland protectorate, all counties in Pingchen have the ability to directly access 100,000 stone-class cargo ships, and key cities in key areas have even achieved direct cargo ships to towns, and the logistics and transportation capacity in the jurisdiction has increased more than ten times!

In addition, after the completion of the project, our army's ability to dispatch water systems has been unprecedentedly strengthened, and more than 8,000 natural or artificial reservoirs have been built, which can regulate drought and flood, and the threat of general heavy rain and drought has been completely lifted. According to the hydrological and astronomical data recorded by his family heirlooms, there has not been a drought or flood in Pingzhou (there is no data on Chenzhou) since the Warring States period, which can overload the existing water system's regulating capacity. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qing's tone was obviously a few degrees higher, and his expression was proud and proud.

To put it bluntly, unless Shang Ji is unlucky enough to encounter a drought or flood that has not occurred in a thousand years, he can completely stop worrying about this problem in the future!

"In addition, the construction of large-scale water conservancy facilities has greatly expanded the area covered by artificial irrigation, and the irrigated area of Pingchen Prefecture has reached 56 billion mu, covering 80 percent of the arable area within the entire jurisdiction."

After a pause, Li Qing looked around at everyone and continued: "Three years ago, the irrigable area accounted for only seven percent of the arable area. ”

Although many people had already known the specific data, when they heard that Li Qing had spoken directly at the meeting, everyone still felt a little excited and excited. At this time, Pingzhou even went against the sky to achieve the feat of cultivating all the land with high-quality water!

Those who don't know about agriculture may not know what this means, but if you know a little bit about agriculture, you can understand what a great achievement it is!

Shang Ji was also excited**, looking excited.

Shang Ji knew very well that the irrigation area of Zhengguo Canal in history was only about 1.1 million mu, which increased the production of millions of stone grain for the Qin State. The evaluation of Zheng Guoqu in history is "So Guanzhong is a fertile field, there is no murderous year, Qin is rich and strong, and the princes are defeated".

But now, Pingzhou's water conservancy projects are 1,000 times or even 10,000 times higher than Zhengguo Canal in terms of scale, investment, and income.

Of course, there is no comparison between Beacon and real history, and the two cannot be generalized, so here is just a brief description.

"When we do water conservancy planning, we look to the future, and take Youzhou, Jizhou and other places into account, once the time is ripe, we can reach a docking with the waters of Youzhou, Jizhou and other places, continue to extend our water conservancy construction, and further expand the benefits. At the same time, we have taken full care of military security to ensure that these facilities are not exploited by enemy forces, and at the same time, they can play an extreme role in extreme situations. ”

Although Li Qing said the last point more vaguely, everyone here is a human spirit, and a large part of them are still famous generals, and Li Qing understood what they meant when he mentioned them a little.

It is nothing more than the extreme measure of substituting water for soldiers and flooding the Seventh Army, which injures the enemy by injuring 1,000 and injuring 800.

Although it is almost impossible to use it in the current situation, this kind of super project, which is related to the future generations, must be comprehensive, and all situations must be taken into account.
