Yi Gong on the side interjected: "This matter is not difficult, Luoyi is a place where businessmen from all over the world gather, and there are countless travelers in the north-south transportation, so it is not difficult to find these two things carefully. I'll set out and I'll be back in two or three days."

E Kun was already in tears, and bowed deeply: "Kun is already a waste, and the life of the uncle and sister has to fall on the elder brother. In the future, my brother will obey his orders."

Three days later, Yi Gong returned, and it is said that he had bought these two highly poisonous things from a large medicine dealer for a frighteningly high price of 2,000 gold. The female doctor put the feather into the wine, and then used the wine that people smelled and changed to clean the wound that was overflowing with poisonous pus, cut off the carrion, and bandaged the new flesh wound with a cloth made of hook and kiss grass.

After more than a month like this, the uncle miraculously came back to life.

After the autumn harvest, the whole territory of Guanzhong was greatly lively.

From the upper reaches of Jingshui in the western part of Guanzhong to the estuary of the Luoshui River flowing into Weishui in the east, there are ox carts and people flowing everywhere, and everywhere is filled with cooking smoke and fluttering flags, like a continuous military camp battlefield that has never been seen before. People use shovels and hammers, fight with the sky, fight with the earth, and take advantage of the early winter farming season to renovate the wellfield ditches and trunk canals that have not been integrated and repaired for hundreds of years.

Rong Yi was in charge of the overall situation of water conservancy in Guanzhong in name, and in fact he was only responsible for requisitioning and distributing people's resources, mobilizing grain and grass, repairing tools, and assisting in logistics. As the chief water engineer, Ji Yu has become the real chief engineer, and he has issued orders to decide all matters related to the river and canal.

In the middle of October, a small court meeting was held in order to fix the specific affairs of the water conservancy in Guanzhong. There is only one theme: although the people go to the canal to work, although they are serving, how should they raise the grain and grass that people eat and chew on horses?

Zhou Gongding took the lead in speaking: "I think that back then, Dayu's water control was done by the people who controlled the water and brought their own dry food. Now, we can follow this example, so why is it so difficult?"

"No!" Zhao Bohu was the first to object: "What was the situation when Dayu controlled the water, the flood was monstrous, swallowing the land, the situation was critical, and the people volunteered to bring food as a last resort. In this year's ordinary year, the flood control is only to prevent problems before they happen, but there are no immediate worries, and the people need to raise their own food. If the people are hungry, where will there be surplus food to work? In this way, who wants to go to the canal to control the water? Will the king's plan not be in vain?"

At this point, the hall was silent, and no one dared to express his position casually. That's not a small amount of food! Who would dare to touch this hard nail?

The young King Zhou Li took the case angrily, and said in one breath the countermeasures of the civilian labor military system and the grain in the official warehouse. Ji Hu said, raised the palace's eyes and gathered to the old Si Kou - if this prison iron mask opposes the official warehouse to produce grain, I am afraid that King Zhou will also retreat. Ji Hu didn't look at anyone, and asked Lao Si Kou to be the first to speak.

No, the old Si Kou seemed to have the calculation in his chest, stood up and replied sonorously: "The foundation of the law, heavy agriculture and heavy war. Agricultural warfare, war to protect farmers, agricultural warfare is one. Guanzhong controls the water, and the people use the military system to build the canals, one is for agriculture, the other is for war, and the capital is military rations, which is different from the ordinary opening of warehouses to help the poor, and the ministers think that it is in line with the essence of Zhou etiquette, and it is feasible!"

The ministers were still surprised, and Rui Liangfu had already seconded the proposal: "Gathering the strength of the country and opening a warehouse to control the water is exactly where the great virtue of the king admired by Zhou Li lies!" I think it's possible!"

Seeing this, the ministers did not wait for the Son of Heaven to ask, but responded in unison: "The ministers agree, the military rations control the water!"

Ji Hu didn't have any extra words, nodded happily, and the plan was decided. The departments were excited, and the temple immediately approved the amount of civil power, and decided on the order of opening the warehouse, the mobilization of vehicles, the number of craftsmen of various colors, the repair of tools, and other matters.

At noon, everything is ready.

The next day, Wang Shu flew to various places in Wangji, and the entire Guanzhong immediately boiled.

Opening the official warehouse to control the water, this move is right to the point. At that time, it was after the autumn flood, and the common people stored grain in ten rooms and nine empty. The opening of the official warehouse to control the water has undoubtedly given the people the best way out. The most important one, this time the people's power requisition, made an exception without distinguishing between men, women, and children. In this way, wouldn't it be a great good thing that the common people can go to the construction site with their families and let go of their bellies to eat?

Secondly, the construction of the canal is counted as the period of conscription that must be enlisted every year. The old rule has always been that water control projects that benefit the people are never counted among the official levies.

Third, this river

The canal project is in the autumn and winter, and the people are not worried about the agricultural time.

And so on, the people's power to go to the canal is simply a lot of benefits. This is only the idea of the people who will not benefit from the river canal in the future, and the people in the beneficiary areas are even more excited, and they don't know how to be grateful to the government.

Only in this way, the tide of the canal in the hinterland of Guanzhong suddenly exploded. Even Rong Yi, who was responsible for requisitioning and distributing people's power, did not expect that the main expropriation areas originally planned would only benefit from the villages and towns in the waterlogged rivers and canals, and only consider the recruitment and distribution of volunteers in the rest of the places. I don't want Wang Shu to be released, the whole Guanzhong is thunderous, and all over the country are vying to send migrant workers, and one battalion is more than happy.

In less than a month, thousands of migrant workers' camps were opened, and the entire waterlogged banks became a sea of people.

In the face of the turbulent flow of people, Rongyi had to lay off the old and weak, leaving only the strong laborers. But Ji Yu's words made him feel bad in his heart, so he had to give up.

Ji Yu said with a black face, "The year is not good, what do you teach those old and weak women and children to eat when they go back? The young and strong are gone, and the old and weak, women and children can't go into the mountains to hunt and walk, and they still have to starve to death? According to the old man, as long as there is no accident in the canal, a few more idlers can eat, just open and close their eyes."

Rong Yi didn't have such pity, and he knew that as long as he objected, Zhou Wang Jihu would definitely support him. However, what Ji Yu put forward is a grim fact that no one can avoid: if it causes civil unrest because of this, isn't everything in vain?

After thinking about it repeatedly, he could only smile wryly and nod.

In this way, the common people regarded the government as acquiescing to "everyone wants the waterlogging construction site, and those who come will not refuse", and they were moved to tears and sighs, and there was an earth-shaking sound of long live everywhere.

And the people in charge of this major water conservancy project, Rong Yi and Ji Yu, also suddenly felt the indescribable strong pressure.

The pressure on Rongyi lies in the insight into the overall treatment. All the people in the hinterland of Guanzhong pressed the canal, which meant that the Zhou Dynasty had no room for maneuver, and could only succeed and not fail. At this time, if the Rongyi and other Rongyi invaded the surrounding territory, it would be difficult for Guanzhong Wangji to even support the heavy people. This is the greatest danger.

In order to prevent this greatest danger, the young Zhou Li Wang Jihu had already sent Kui Duoyou, who had urgently entered Beijing, to the north as soon as possible, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye to his friend Summoning Bohu.

The second danger is the construction site itself.

At present, the people's will is certainly valuable, but with such a huge amount of manpower gathered on the continuous construction site, any incident may be magnified for no reason. Regional prejudice, tribal prejudice, family prejudice, Liting village prejudice and all kinds of hatred and grievances will inevitably take the opportunity to arise. However, if there is a riot or an accident, the construction of the canal will be delayed, which is a crime that no one can bear.

King Zhou Li obviously put the burden of controlling the overall situation on Rong Yi's shoulders. Fortunately, Rongyi is very rich in the ability of the director, and sees that such a situation can only be prevented, so he takes a capable team of officials to patrol the migrant workers' camp every day, and solves everything on the spot, no matter how big or small, and never accumulates sparks.

After two or three months, Rong Yi became a swarthy and lean man.

As a well-known hydraulic engineer in the world, Ji Yu is facing two major problems:

The first is how to lay out a huge amount of labor, so that the water diversion gourd and the Baili trunk canal are completed at the same time. Second, how to overcome the bottleneck canyon of Gukou as quickly as possible.

If you want the project to go smoothly, you must sort out all the difficulties of the project in advance and make construction drawings in advance. Otherwise, the more than 100 master engineers who lead the work will have nowhere to start. However, more than 100 miles of canals, there are 45 bucket gates, six aqueducts, and five sections of sand and soil channels, and it is not easy to make all the drawings in advance! However, this is only the difficulty of working at the desk.

The real difficulty is that the gourd that leads to the waterlogging is actually a large canyon through a green mountain. Just by crossing it, the waterlogging water enters the dry canal. This mountain is not high or dangerous, but it is a rocky mountain that is difficult to find in the north, once it is dug into a canal, it is strong and upright and not afraid of torrent scouring, and the head of the canal is easy to control the amount of water.

This canyon, there was originally a mountain stream flowing through, the forest is thick, and countless tall rocks stand in the middle of the canyon like a giant elephant, which is the most obstructive to the flow of water. Now, to open the canyon as soon as possible, the difficulty lies in smashing these huge "stone elephants" one by one. If there is no gravel good

Strategy, just by the stonemasons hammer and chisel, it is really far away.

After the New Year's ploughing ceremony, the young King Zhou Li decided to go to the waterlogged canal to see for himself.

Since the waterlogging canal project was launched, in autumn and winter, Ji Hu's royal chariot has been flying around day and night. Ji Hu's men and horses were extremely capable: a Rui Liangfu, a Qi Zhong, and a centaur team of thirty officials from various departments and twenty flying messengers.

Rui Liangfu rode with him in the king's chariot, and the rest of the people were all lightly armed and fast, and wherever there was something to do, they immediately decided to make a royal letter, and then the wind swept away. Ji Hu's idea coincides with Rongyi's, and if the waterlogged river canal is not completed for a day, it will not be able to teach a spark to burn in Wangji.

Ji Hu's first step is naturally to guard against the sudden invasion of the lynx, which is very likely at this time. Therefore, Wang Che first came to the border army camp that had just begun to be formed in the north.

Here this is the upper reaches of Jingshui, a line of river valleys through the Cangmang Mountains, the mountains are extremely steep.

In the big tent of the shogunate, Ji Hu carefully asked Kui Duoyou about the battle strategy of the lynx, and wanted to hear a burst of impassioned rhetoric, but Kui Duoyou only gave up his hand: "Your lord, you think that my border army cannot fight endlessly against the lynx cavalry!"
