At the first New Year's Day banquet after the official establishment of the Chu State, Bai Tu encouraged and rewarded the team that opened up the wasteland, and then routinely selected last year's outstanding officials, outstanding groups, and outstanding individuals......

On the fifteenth day of January, after Bai Tu personally saw off the Bozhou Wasteland Development Delegation, the government offices also began to deploy their annual plans for the new year.

After a month of "internship" in the Ministry of Engineering, learning about some new materials, and a group of hydrology and water conservancy bachelors from the Ministry of Engineering, Li Yan also officially gave Bai Tu a reply.

Six years.

"Can you think about it? The investment in this, if it dies halfway, is not something that can be solved by the military order. Bai Tu emphasized it again.

Li Yan didn't think that this was "questioning" himself, after all, he knew best about the investment of Wudang Hanshui Weir, from digging interception holes, dredging of water sections, and excavation of foundation pits...... Until the actual construction is completed, Li Yan expects that it will take six years.

And in the past six years, it is not Wudang County that has contributed, but most of Nanyang's manpower and material resources!

If the project dies halfway after it is really put into it, Li Yan will not be able to relieve his hatred by apologizing for his death......

Of course, it is not for Li Yan to take the blame alone.

The preliminary plan designed by Li Yan has gone through three rounds of approval and defense in the Ministry of Industry, and each round has been repeatedly revised many times before it was finally approved.

In the end, it was Li Yan who presided over the overall situation, but it was several teams who made suggestions and checked and filled in the gaps!

"Don't worry, the king! Strict to live up to the trust! Li Yan said solemnly.

"It is important to plan and anticipate, especially the assessment of affected areas and risk areas...... After that, I will give me the places that need to cooperate in Hanzhong, and notify the people along the coast in the middle section of Hanzhong to evacuate. Bai Tu emphasized.

Bai Tu didn't want to smash it down with manpower and material resources, and as a result, it would cause a flood......

In addition, Baitu also had to warn Hanzhong that when the water level rose, it would cause the people in the upper reaches of the Han River to suffer.

When the Hanshui weir was originally to be built, Bai Tu also mentioned it to Zhang Lu's envoy and asked Hanzhong to bear part of the cost, after all, the improvement of the river will also be beneficial to the upper reaches of the Hanshui.

However, Hanzhong insisted that this was the private behavior of the Chu State and had nothing to do with the Heavenly Master Mansion in Hanzhong......

Especially the previous contact between the Heavenly Master's Mansion and the State of Chu and Wei was not pleasant, whether it was Bai Tu or Cao Cao, they all sneered at his idea of wanting to be crowned king...... Now let Hanzhong pay for it? No way!

Anyway, for Zhang Lu, what Han Shuiyan is dispensable, and if Chu State repairs it, he will rub it off and not repair it...... Then don't fix it.

However, Zhang Lu has recently figured it out, giving up the unrealistic fantasy of "King Hanning", hoping that Chu and Wei will support him to be named "Marquis of Hanning", and more importantly, ...... Grant nine tin!

Although they all know that Hanzhong is now a thorn in the side of the auxiliary Han forces, at least before the internal appeasement, it can make Zhang Lu feel more secure.

Zhang Lu retains Hanzhong, which is indeed in the interests of Chu and Wei, but no matter what, it is Zhang Lu who is now begging Chu Wei, so ...... Bai Tu naturally took the opportunity to let him reimburse part of the Hanshui weir!

In fact, Bai Tu didn't look down on Hanzhong's two jujubes, but he was worried that if he didn't want anything, it would make Zhang Lu and Hanzhong's strategists alert.

On the contrary, he looked unwilling to suffer, which made Zhang Lu believe that Bai Tu just wanted to build water conservancy.

Now Bai Tu has also received a letter from Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and there will be an envoy in Hanzhong in the near future......

And this time he came to Chu State, it was Yang Song again - the Yang Song who had accepted a large amount of bribes from Chu State before and had opened up a channel for his family's caravan!

When Yang Song came to the Chu State, Li Yan had already handed over the assessment report from the Hanzhong side to Bai Tu.

After Bai Tu was a little reserved and dried Yang Song for three days, he met him in Jiangshan Garden.

Yang Song expressed this, or it was just the right amount of "panic", obviously he also understood that Bai Tu was dissatisfied with Zhang Lu's previous attitude!

Thinking about these, it is difficult for Yang Song, as soon as he saw Bai Tu, he was sycophants and crying, and he had not been able to convince Zhang Lu of the situation, so he made a self-examination.

Bai Tu is not too difficult for Yang Song, after all...... It couldn't be better that such a greedy messenger was sent by an outsider.

Yang Song came not only to win the support of the Chu State, but also to buy plate armor "by the way".

Before, because Zhang Lu did not have many cavalry, and when facing Liu Zhang's shrunken turtle, there was no room for the plate armor to play, so he behaved very coldly.

However, Zhang Lu obviously heard that the other princes who came to buy plate armor seemed to have already got their wish, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with having an elite plate armor cavalry in Hanzhong as a deterrent force!

Hanzhong is a rare and stable place in troubled times, and under the condition that the Heavenly Master and Tao are in harmony, the people are cut more thoroughly, and the degree of wealth is no less than that of Yizhou, and the treasury of the official family is full, even not less than the Wei State that has been in war for many years, so it is not bad to trade the goods of the plate armor.

After Bai Tu was beaten, he did not reach any agreement with Yang Song, and Zhang Chunhua contacted him afterwards......

Sure enough, after the money opened the way, Yang Song not only hinted at Zhang Lu's bottom line, but also revealed the reason why Zhang Lu suddenly became nervous!

Now in Liangzhou, Ma Chao, the son of Yonghou Ma Teng, has not only swept away the scattered warlords in Longxi in the past year, but also made many Qiang tribes submit.

Although there is also a natural barrier between Hanzhong and Guanxi, especially it is not friendly to cavalry, but the record of Liangzhou Ma Chao still puts a lot of pressure on Zhang Lu, worried that Ma Chao will kill him directly one day......

However, when Zhang Chunhua vaguely asked about the news of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Yang Song hesitated.

It seems that Yang Song also understands that the Heavenly Master's Mansion is his biggest "hole card", and if it is gone, it will be worthless.

And when Zhang Chunhua hinted that he could give him a courtyard in Jinling, and that he could arrange for Yang's young people to study at the university of Chu, Yang Song was also not eager......

Zhang Chunhua didn't say anything, after all, the goal had been achieved, so he returned to the palace of the king of Chu and asked Bai Tu for instructions.

"It seems that Yang Song does not have the heart to completely take refuge." Bai Tu said with some regret.

Although he is a complete villain, at least when he is in the enemy camp, Bai Tu looks at him very cute.

"Short-sighted people naturally can't see the ambition of the king, such as Yang Song's generation, probably thinking that only the Marquis of Yong and the Marquis of Shu can threaten the Heavenly Master's Mansion, so they will only ...... Especially for Yonghou and the court behind him, let's wait for the price. Zhang Chunhua could also guess Yang Song's thoughts.

In the face of the complete co-optation of the Chu State, what supports Yang Song is not the temperance, but the weighing of the pros and cons!

Normally, if Chu wants to enter Hanzhong, it will either first conquer Guanzhong, break through Guanxi, and subdue Liangzhou, and then go south to Hanzhong, or first capture Bashu, and then go north to Hanzhong......

As for going directly from Jingzhou to Hanzhong? Such a big Wushan, should it be an ornament?
