Chapter 0059: Wu'er, Zhuang~
Sitting on top of her mother Lu Pheasant's queen phoenix, Liu Ying's fast-moving mind kept appearing one after another that seemed feasible but did not meet the current conditions.
I have to say: Liu Bang's move of 'renovating water conservancy' before leaving really smashed on Liu Ying's side ribs.
To be precise, Liu Bang threw a task that could not be easily completed by the Han family at this time to Liu Ying's head.
It is true that the water conservancy of this era was not a large-scale project as magnificent as the Three Gorges Dam in later generations and shocked the world.
In later generations, the Zhengguo Canal, which was called 'the last piece of the puzzle of Qin's unification of the world' by historical researchers, was actually just an artificial canal more than 300 miles long and no more than 10 zhang wide.
In later generations, canals similar to the scale of Zhengguo Canal were everywhere, not to mention everywhere, but at least one or two in every township and village.
However, in this era of extreme scarcity of materials and extremely backward productivity, even this kind of water conservancy siege that looks ordinary and is no different from a rural canal still needs to mobilize the power of the state and spend countless manpower, material and financial resources to have a slight possibility of success.
——At the end of the Warring States Period, in order to build the Zhengguo Canal, Qin almost emptied most of the family funds in the past 100 years!
At that time, the Qin people, all the young and strong people with two or two tendons and flesh, almost all contributed to the construction of Zheng Guoqu!
But even so, a Zhengguo Canal more than 300 miles long, with the full support of the entire Qin State and the vigorous tilting of materials, took a full ten years to be built.
From this, it is enough to see what the word 'water conservancy' means to this era.
In this era, a 100-kilometer-long and 20-meter-wide man-made canal means that the entire central government will be poor for three years and five years!
And today's Han family, even under the small government and low-cost operation of 'Huang Lao Wuwei', is already so poor that the capital Chang'an, because of lack of money, cannot afford to repair······
"Alas~"
"It's ······"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, as soon as Liu Ying raised his head, he saw his mother Lu Pheasant's eyes looking at him, full of surprise and joy.
"Uh······"
With a slightly stiff smile, Liu Ying knelt down to Lu Pheasant and bowed his hand respectfully.
"The son makes his own opinion, don't blame the queen ······ mother"
Slightly apprehensive, seeing that Lu Pheasant had no reaction, Liu Ying couldn't help but raise her head weakly.
saw that Lu Pheasant seemed to have turned a deaf ear to Liu Ying's words, and still looked at him with surprise and admiration, and nodded to Liu Ying again and again.
Being stared at by Lu Pheasant so directly, Liu Ying was a little uncomfortable, and then stopped Lu Pheasant and smiled gently.
"My child's weakness in the past, could it be that he was clumsy?"
Leng Buding asked, and Lu Pheasant looked at Liu Ying with a deeper look of appreciation.
"As a prince in a high position and not arrogant, hide his clumsiness to appease His Majesty's heart·······"
"Even the queen mother let my son deceive her?"
Hearing the ridicule in Lu Pheasant's tone, Liu Ying's tense heartstrings loosened slightly, and she only smiled honestly on her face.
"The queen mother laughs ······"
"The child grew up under the knees of the queen mother since he was a child, how could he pretend to be stupid in front of the queen mother in order to deceive the queen mother?"
"Only today, my father suddenly made a water conservancy incident, and my son was panicked for a while, and he was afraid that hundreds of officials would be light, so he had to force an indifferent posture······"
Hearing Liu Ying's words, Lu Pheasant only smiled, took Liu Ying's hand over, and pressed Liu Ying's head on his lap with love, and couldn't help caressing it.
"Whether it's bullying or concealing, it's finally my own child born in September."
"Yu Wu, what evil thoughts can you have?"
Thinking like this, Lu Pheasant's gaze at Liu Ying became more and more soft.
"Over the years, only Ying'er has been in the storage position, and Mu Xiu is in the forest ······"
"Alas~"
With a long sigh in his heart, Lu Pheasant's face was full of emotion, and he slowly closed his eyes.
And Liu Ying lay on her side in the carriage, pillowed her head on Lu Pheasant's lap, and couldn't help but think to herself.
After a seven-year puppet career in the previous life, Liu Ying, who returned to the funeral of Emperor Taishang, actually focused most of her attention on her mother Lu Pheasant.
The reason is very simple: according to the historical trajectory of his previous life, Liu Ying can get on the storage position no matter what, and there is no need to worry about this at all.
Liu Ying originally thought that what he really needed to lay out in advance and prepare early was that a year and a half later, when Liu Bang, the son of heaven, died and Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, he came to Liu Ying with his teeth and claws, and reached out to the Lu family's relatives who wanted power.
But after personal experience in this life, Liu Ying found out in hindsight: without the Lu family's relatives, especially from her mother Lu Pheasant, Liu Ying has no possibility of keeping the crown prince at all!
If it is for the sake of not being controlled by the Lu family's relatives in the future, if he refuses the help provided by the Lu family's relatives to keep Liu Ying's position as the prince at the moment, Liu Ying will not inherit the throne at all!
But even so, Liu Ying once regarded helping herself, defending her mother Lu Pheasant, and the relatives of the Lu family behind Lu Pheasant as 'short-term friends and long-term enemies'.
But it wasn't until this moment that Liu Ying reacted in hindsight: Lu Pheasant didn't seem to have the motive to harm Liu Ying.
Liu Ying can't do it, Lu Pheasant is naturally happy to be busy, and single-handedly put Liu Ying on the throne.
But if Liu Ying shows good ability, then Lu Pheasant, as the queen, does not seem to be worried about this, or therefore the need to be wary of Liu Ying.
Combined with Liu Bang's method, the more and more aggressive 'serial scheme' forced Liu Ying to cancel the plan of 'keeping a low profile until Liu Bang dies', and uncharacteristically revealed his true colors.
Judging from the results, Lu Pheasant was really full of joy for his son to become more and more promising, without the slightest fear······
"Hi~"
"After all, it's my mother~"
"How can you harm me······
Thinking like this, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile, lay down sideways, and looked up at her loving mother.
"The Queen Mother."
"My father entrusted him with water conservancy, although his son had ordered Xiao Xiang and Shaofu to enter the palace in the afternoon, he had no clue about the renovation of water conservancy."
"What should I do, I'm afraid that I will also be the queen mother to raise my uncle, cousin and other Lu family children to discuss good strategies?"
Hearing this, Lu Pheasant only smiled and lowered his head, and lovingly stroked Liu Ying's face.
"It's okay~"
"In the matter of water conservancy, there is no need to mobilize the people and reconvene the children of the Lu family to discuss."
"When I returned to the palace, my mother told me about the renovation policy, and in the afternoon, Ying'er discussed with Xiao Xiang and Shaofu."
As he spoke, Lu Pheasant's eyes that exuded maternal brilliance inexplicably gushed out a little warm dew.
"Wu'er, Zhuang~"
"Strong ······"
