Seeing the hesitation of the soldiers, Tang Sanzang turned around and bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the poor monk has no malice here, otherwise, with only a few thousand armor soldiers, how can he be worthy of the combined blow of my two apprentices? The poor monk has a way to solve this problem, in order to show my goodwill. ”

As soon as he heard that Tang Sanzang had a way to solve the problem that had plagued him for many years, the old king suddenly became interested, leaned out from behind the armor soldiers, and saluted back: "I don't know what kind of high opinion the master can solve the problem of my Hara Country, if it is true, the grievances between the white dragon and my country will be written off." ”

Tang Sanzang laughed and bowed down to show his admiration: "Your Majesty is a generation of Ming Jun, and his broad-mindedness is beyond the reach of others. I think my master and apprentice came all the way to the west, and I also have a little understanding of the customs and customs of various countries, and there is a stream not far from the country of Harba, which is called Eagle Sorrow, this stream is wide and broad, and the water is surging. The poor monk has an idea, that is, to dig several canals from the Eagle Sorrow Stream to connect the country of Ha Xuan, attract water from all directions, and irrigate the ten thousand acres of fertile land in your country, which is a method once and for all. ”

Lian Shixun was shocked when he heard this, and he retreated from the front armor soldier again and again, and stepped forward to pay homage with a solemn expression: "The holy monk really said that this method is exquisite, and it can really solve the misfortune of water shortage in our country." It's just that although the Eagle Sorrow Stream is close, it is also more than ten miles away from our country, and although the territory of my country is small, it also has a radius of 100 miles. Lian Shixun is so unfortunate that there is such a clever plan of the holy monk who can only be put in his pocket, and there is no way to use it. ”

Seeing that the old king was so depressed, Tang Sanzang stroked his palms and laughed, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, as long as you persevere, the iron pestle can still be sharpened into a needle, not to mention the eagle sorrowful stream that is close at hand? ”

When the old king heard this, he was excited, stepped forward and grabbed Tang Sanzang's hand, and shook it vigorously: "The holy monk has a vast mind, and sincerity is beyond the reach of many people, if this matter can be successful, it will definitely be a meritorious cause for the benefit of thousands of years, and the widow is willing to let go of all hatred and share this hundred miles of rivers and mountains with the holy monk." ”

The old king's ardent sincerity made Tang Sanzang flattered, and he waved his hand again and again: "Your Majesty is serious, this is what Sanzang should do, and he should atone for Ao Bai." ”

Lian Shixun nodded, and continued to ask: "Holy monk, as the widow said, although the territory of my Ha Xuan country is small, it also has a radius of 100 miles, I don't know how the holy monk plans to divert water and how long the canal will be dug?"

Tang Sanzang smiled and replied proudly: "I will dig as long the canal as wide as your land is." ”

Lian Shixun was shocked and said in disbelief: "Holy monk, that is a huge project within a radius of 100 miles, with the strength of my Ha Xuan country, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete it in a hundred years, your idea is too optimistic, right?"

Tang Sanzang squinted his eyes and said confidently: "How do you know if it won't work if you don't try?" Your Majesty is worried that it will not be completed in a hundred years, because the excavation tools are not advanced enough, as long as we can develop new tools, unite as one, and move forward bravely, we may not be able to create miracles. ”

Seeing that the holy monk said so firmly, the old king's heart was full of blood, and he only felt that his ambition that had been silent for many years was ignited again, only to see that his eyes were shining, and his fists were clenched and he roared loudly: "The holy monk really has ambition, my country has entered a difficult situation, rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to give it a go, maybe there is hope." The holy monk, Lian Shixun entrusted all the people of the country of Hara to accompany the holy monk to gamble. ”

Tang Sanzang laughed, and bowed his hand: "Your Majesty is really free-spirited, don't worry, if things are as the poor monk expected, I will definitely not let you down, and please inform the world that we are going to dig a canal." ”

The old king gave up his promise, and immediately ordered all parts of the country to hurry up, and issued an edict in the name of the king, and called on the people from all sides to come and dig the canal.

After that, Tang Sanzang led everyone into the palace and talked with His Majesty about the major matter of water diversion, his plan was like this: to open an opening on the west bank of the Eagle Sorrow Stream, dig an oval canal around the periphery of the country of Harba, and then converge at the westernmost end of the country of Hara, and dig a river at the end of the canal, so as not to cause the water flow to be unsmooth in the shape of the canal, forming a pool of stagnant water.

Because the excavation area involves a radius of 100 miles, the depth of the canal should not be too shallow, and the initial digging should be as deep and wide as possible to increase the water output, with a depth of 10 meters and a width of more than 5 meters. Therefore, the old king's concern was not unreasonable, with the existing production capacity of the Hara Kingdom, it was really difficult to achieve such a huge project.

Need to improve the tools, Tang Sanzang sighed in his heart, although this mage is a scholar, and there are not many opportunities to use digging tools, but after all, I have been a migrant worker for a few days, and we can still describe the specific images of those shovels and pickaxes. After more than ten days of cultivation, the robbers' current iron-striking skills can be regarded as perfect, as long as this mage gives a rough appearance and lets them build it, it is really a piece of cake.

Crafting tools was a prerequisite for digging aqueducts, and it was a manual task, so Tang Sanzang suggested that the old king gather the blacksmiths from all over the country and use them for iron mining, along with the few thousand armor soldiers of the Hata Kingdom. He didn't know how many blacksmiths there were, but according to preliminary estimates, there were four or five hundred, and according to the pace of producing five sets of tools for every ten people, it would not be a problem to make one thousand eight hundred sets a day. After a day's journey, Tang Sanzang felt a little tired, and announced that the meeting would end here first, see how many people would come tomorrow, and then continue to discuss the distribution of work.
