Chapter 88: Step 1: Project Chisel Dragon
Time slowly came to November of the tenth year of the great cause.
The Sui Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo and the past three months, and those slaves of Goguryeo were also relocated to various excavation sites one after another.
Although there are only five sections of the Grand Canal, there are more than 1,000 excavation sites, and the total number of Goguryeo slaves has reached 10 million.
Among them, Yang Guang and Dongfang Bai and others rushed to Chang'an, and after everyone rushed to Chang'an, Yang Guang saw Li Er and asked: "Master, we know that it is not suitable for high-intensity excavation, so please ask Shizun to make it clear?"
In fact, Li Er had already made a decision, so he directly told everyone: "We can use Goguryeo slaves to control Goguryeo slaves, and anyone who performs superior can be promoted to steward by us and others." ”
Fan Zigai was responsible for helping Yang Guang manage the section from Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Grand Canal, to Banzhu, but it was also the place where the dragon's scales were reversed, so he asked Dan: "Emperor, I don't know how we will manage those Goguryeo stewards." ”
Li Er looked at the others, and they all looked at Li Er with an inquiring gaze, and Li Er also smiled confidently: "All the Goguryeo slaves are helping us dig the Grand Canal every day, and they don't have time to get food, but we can use Goguryeo to dig a lot of stone and soil, so how much grain can be exchanged accordingly." ”
Yang Lin, the king of the backer, frowned, and said puzzledly: "If we increase the exchange ratio, then there will definitely be people starving to death and exhausting, but once the exchange ratio is reduced, then some people who are in good health will be passive and slack off after they can exchange enough food." ”
Li Er looked at the only true Yang family grandmaster in the Sui Dynasty except for Yang Guang, and knew that the other party could think so much, so he definitely agreed with the matter of digging the dragon vein.
So Lear explained to him: "We can set a currency that can be exchanged for grain, and the grain can be exchanged for several kinds, and the better the meal, the higher the price." ”
Hearing Dongfang for a long time, looking at the questioning eyes of others, Li Er said with some displeasure: "And when you can give those Goguryeo slaves a hope to see the light, the currency for exchanging grain can not only exchange grain, but also exchange for work, and if the work reaches a certain point, you can give me the household registration of the Sui Dynasty." ”
Everyone else heard the displeasure in Dongfang Bai's words, but after hearing Dongfang Bai's words clearly, they thought about it, after all, this is also a good way.
Yang Guang looked at the others who nodded intentionally or unintentionally, and immediately decided: "I have decided to adopt the method of the emperor and the national teacher, and now we still assign Goguryeo slaves and the detailed planning." ”
......
With the conversation of Li Er and others, the entire chisel dragon plan was also launched.
Time passed slowly, and in one of the places in the Jiangnan River section of Yangzhou known as the dragon's tail, Dongfang Bai's brows furrowed, and he was a little haggard to see the manager below: "Why is the excavation so slow during this time?"
Although the Jiangnan River in Longwei does not have a dragon's head, and the section of the dragon's belly is long, there are nearly 200 excavation points in the entire Liangnan River, and the number of people at each excavation point has reached tens of thousands of people.
Although there is still such a large population, the steward at this time stood in front of Dongfang Bai, the cold sweat on his back was running down, and he said with some trepidation: "Returning to the national division, the workers work for eight hours a day, but the number is still not enough, and there are also casualties in a small number of reduced slaves. ”
Dongfang Bai also knew that the other party had done his best, after all, those who were disobedient were solved by her Dongfang Bai, but thinking of the task given to him by the Sect Ancestor, if it dragged on like this, it would definitely not be completed.
And Dongfang Bai knew that if she continued like this, she might delay other steps, but if she really let her dig bloody and violent, she Dongfang would definitely break the heart of the godfather.
When he saw that the steward was still standing in front of her, he waved his hand scoundrelly and said, "You go down! ”
"Yes, Master Guoshi, my subordinates retire!"
After the steward left completely, Dongfang Bai muttered: "Is it really necessary to start the second step, otherwise how to solve the progress of the excavation of the Grand Canal." ”
"Sister Dongfang, we're coming to see you?" The words had already fallen, but the person was still outside the door.
When Dongfang Bai heard this voice, he also let go of his slightly furrowed brows, a smile appeared on his face, and only after waiting for the people to come in completely did he say, "Why did you two come to my poor and remote place?"
And Huang Rong and Mo Chou saw Dongfang Bai's haggard face, and said distressedly: "Sister Dongfang, why are you so broken, you will feel distressed if you let Brother Li see it." ”
Although Dongfang is usually very domineering, and he only shows his little daughter's posture in front of Li Er, but in front of Huang Rong's sisters, he still smiled very kindly: "What's the matter, the godfather gave Dongfang the task, but Dongfang failed the godfather." ”
Although Li Mochou is usually very arrogant, he still cares about these sisters.
So Mo Chou also said with concern: "Sister Dongfang, you are our eldest sister, you are so haggard, I am very distressed, I am talking about any difficulties, you tell Brother Li directly, I believe that Brother Li will not let you work so hard, and will mention Sister Dongfang to solve your difficulties." ”
Dongfang was also very moved to see that the two younger sisters cared so much about him, and said unabashedly: "Two sisters, you also know the plan of the Holy Ancestor, but it may not be able to achieve the expected effect now. ”
The smart Huang Rong also thought a lot about the words of the East, knowing that the huge plan to destroy the Buddha, every step can not make any big mistakes, after all, the Buddha, the Tao and the people of his power are not all fools, the span of the plan to destroy the Buddha is too large, if each step does not achieve the expected effect, then the final result may be very wrong.
Mo Chou himself is a straight person, seeing that Dongfang and Huang Rong didn't speak, and seeing Dongfang so haggard, he said directly: "Sister Dongfang, Sister Rong, let's go directly to Brother Li, I believe that Brother Li will solve it, and I don't want to see Sister Dongfang continue to be haggard like this." ”
Dongfang heard Mo Chou's words and knew that Mo Chou's personality was very arrogant, and Mo Chou loved the ancestor no worse than any of the sisters.
But Mo Chou's sister's words Dongfang also understood, and now he can only tell the Sect Ancestor, after all, there is still a period of time before the second step: the Darkness Chen Cang Plan, and there will be enough time to make up for the shortcomings and activate the backup plan.
So Dongfang Bai looked at Huang Rong and the two daughters and said, "Two sisters, then please tell the current situation here to the godfather." ”
Mo Chou saw Dongfang Bai's agreement, thinking that Dongfang would not have to be so haggard and hard in the future.
So Mo Chou explained with some joy: "Hehe, Sister Dongfang, I don't know yet! Brother Li appointed me and Sister Huang Rong as secretaries, which is equivalent to Qin Cha." ”
Huang Rong didn't say anything else, and directly promised: "Sister Dongfang, don't worry, Brother Li will solve these things as soon as possible." ”
Dongfang saw that it was done, so he said to the two daughters: "Since the two younger sisters have come to my sister's place, let's stay here for a few more days!"
Huang Rong thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, let's report the situation here to Brother Li first, and then we'll play here for a while." ”
Mo Chou didn't think about it, and said directly: "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Rong!"
In fact, Mo Chou also knows that she is smarter than Huang Rong, and she is not as smart as Huang Rong, so she is also very clear, Huang Rong is the main text, she is not the main martial arts, and they will help Brother Li share the pressure together.
......
Chang'an of the Sui Dynasty, the Emperor's Mansion.
Xiao Zhao watched Li Er deal with the information from various other places, and poured a cup of hot tea for Li Er very considerately.
And also intimately helped Li Er pinch his shoulders, so that Li Er could relax and say, "Childe, is there anything to worry about?"
Seeing Xiao Zhao's gentle gaze, Li Er also eased his mood, and put down the thing in his heart and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there is a problem of insufficient manpower in the excavation of the Grand Canal, and I will solve it." ”
"Crunch!"
"Brother Li. ”
"Brother Li. ”
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Li Er and Xiao Zhao looked over at the same time and saw Huang Rong and Li Mochou.
Li Er smiled and said, "You're back." ”
Mo Chou came to Li Er's side lightly and happily, and didn't care about Xiao Zhao and Huang Rong, so he said directly: "Brother Li, do you know? Sister Dongfang is tired and thin, and she is even more haggard, and you don't care about Sister Dongfang." ”
Li Er heard Mo Chou's words, and was a little puzzled, although Dongfang was responsible for managing the excavation of the Jiangnan River in Yangzhou, he had sent more than a dozen internal affairs talents to Dongfang to call, how could he hear Mo Chou say that Dongfang was so hard.
It's not that he Li Er doesn't believe Mo Chou's words, because in the Emperor's Mansion, Xiao Zhao and Wei Zhenzhen are in charge of his diet, and Huang Rong and Mo Chou are responsible for helping him deal with teaching affairs.
And Mo Chou went to Yangzhou to see the East this time, and by the way, he went to the excavation site of the entire Grand Canal instead of him to see, but why was the East so haggard.
So Li Er asked Huang Rong and the two daughters: "Rong'er, Mo Chou, what are you going on?"
Mo Chou automatically stepped aside at this time, revealing the figure of Huang Rong behind him.
Huang Rong didn't say anything else, and came directly to Li Er's side, recovering to a decisive and capable look: "Brother Li, Sister Dongfang is unwilling to use high-pressure means to let Goguryeo slaves dig up, so everything needs to be handled by Sister Dongfang herself."
Although Li Er received reports from everyone else about the state of the shortage of slaves in Goguryeo, he did not know some specific details.
So Li Er asked Huang Rong: "Is there anything going on with the excavation of other lots?"
"Brother Li, the matter of other lots, just dispatch all the Goguryeo slaves to the excavation points of the Grand Canal, and there is already a slight high-pressure rotation in the excavation of the Grand Canal. ”
"Are there any others?"
Huang Rong said: "Brother Li, although there are a huge number of Goguryeo slaves, the number is still far from enough, and the entire five-section Grand Canal still needs at least four million people. ”
Li Er thought for a moment and thought, "Yes, but now in ancient times, it took a lot of manpower to dig a grand canal, and it was also necessary to ensure the safety of those Goguryeo slaves and not lead to a large number of deaths." ”
But thinking of Dongfang's conscientious and haggard appearance, Li Er directly made up his mind and said: "Rong'er, Mo Chou, the two of you tell Yang Guang to prepare the second step of the plan. ”
