King An came over this time, but it was not completely useless.

The imperial court sent Shangshu Lei Yun from the Ministry of Industry, and some other officials of the Ministry of Industry put forward a bunch of plans.

Thundercloud did not speak.

Yang Zhi listened, there was no big problem, but he was a little self-contained.

The main thing is to combine dredging and building embankments.

But such a project is too ambitious, it is really a bit of a waste of life and money, and the Li River will collapse at any time now, and there is no time to do it.

Combined with these, Yang Zhi did not agree with the Ministry of Industry's approach.

Yang Zhi expressed his meaning, and a chubby official of the Ministry of Industry immediately exited.

"Master Hou, the lower officials know that you have always had an idea, but this matter of water control should be left to us."

Yang Zhi smiled, there was no malice in his words, it sounded like a kind reminder.

The others were not so easy to speak, "Hou Ye, Jiang Nan is Hou Ye's territory at any time, but the matter of controlling the water is not child's play, counting up the past few years, we have all used these methods." ”

"Master Hou is young and vigorous, it is understandable that we are waiting, but this is a major event like water control, in the end, it is not child's play, you still sit in the Assassin's Mansion, take a good look."

almost mocked Yang Zhi explicitly.

Yang Zhi frowned, if you are not polite, I am not polite, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have been controlling the water for so many years, and you have not used those methods. ”

"The Li River is now on the verge of exploding, and those messy methods are not applicable."

"Building the dam is really not a small project, if you had come half a month earlier, you could have done it."

Speaking of this, a sarcastic smile rose at the corner of Yang Zhi's mouth.

"But if you see the state of the Li River now, who will build the dam? Are your people still from Xuanzhou, or are they from Jinling? ”

Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lei Yun looked up at Yang Zhi and nodded at the table, but did not speak.

An official of the Ministry of Industry has always been unaccustomed to Yang Zhi, and immediately frowned, "Master Hou, the construction of the embankment is naturally handed over to the people of the Ministry of Industry. ”

Yang Zhi raised his eyebrows, "What this adult said is high-sounding, isn't the life of the Ministry of Industry a human life?" The construction of the dam requires a lot of materials, not to mention the cost of labor and money, and it is not suitable for the current Li River, which is the key. ”

The other officials wanted to say more, but Thundercloud spoke.

"Master Hou, Lei wants to hear what Master Hou said."

Yang Zhi smiled, there are still people who understand, he is worthy of being a second-grade master, and he is a decent person at first glance for this care.

"Lord Shangshu, I think, is it Pingzhou in front of Xuanzhou?"

Thundercloud nodded.

Yang Zhi continued, "Pingzhou is low-lying, separated from Xuanzhou by continuous mountains and rocks, if I remember correctly... There is a Changping River in Pingzhou, which flows into the Yellow Sea to the east? ”

Thundercloud nodded without thinking, "Not bad." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhi's eyes suddenly became solemn.

"I suggest that the water of the Li River be diverted to the Changping River first, and then flow into the Yellow Sea, and then into the sea, I think it is feasible."

As soon as these words came out, Lei Yun's heart was shocked, he had never heard of this method.

The other officials were all shocked, this method of diverting water into the sea was really unheard of and unseen.

Yang Zhi looked at the expressions on the faces of the various officials and continued to speak.

"In addition, the Li River is wide, but the original water level is not as high as in other places, and the upstream is still somewhat safe, and the upstream river channel is relatively narrow."

"I suggest that people use rocks to fill in the upstream, and the downstream side, and continue to build the embankment using the previous plan."

Many people were still immersed in the method of leading water into the sea just now, but Lei Yun understood Yang Zhi's words.

After Yang Zhi finished saying this, he didn't say anything anymore.

It just depends on what the boss of the Ministry of Industry thinks, and if you agree, it's best.

If you don't agree, Yang Zhi clenched his fists, and he has to beat people to agree!

Whether Lei Yun's hand is knocking on the table or not, only familiar people know, this is Lei Yun's habit when he is thinking.

In all fairness, Yang Zhi's approach couldn't be better.

Lei Yun glanced at Yang Zhi.

Bringing water into the sea may seem like an incredible plan, but it does work!

First, Xuanzhou and Pingzhou are not far away, and second, the Yangtze River in Pingzhou is not turbulent, and the flow of the Li River into the Yangtze River will not cause problems in the Yangtze River.

The second method proposed by Yang Zhi is to bet on the upper reaches of the Li River with mountains and stones.

This method sounds simple, but it is more cumbersome to operate.

First of all, if the ship of the Ministry of Industry wants to cross the Li River, it is simply wishful thinking.

In addition, if you want to transport rocks, the hull of the ship is too fragile, the capacity is not much, and it takes a lot of time.

Lei Yun pinched his fingers and silently calculated in his heart.

The time for a cup of tea passed, and there were constant whispers from officials.

Yang Zhi and Lei Yun are the quietest of them all.

After a while, the thundercloud seemed to have made up his mind.

"Master Hou, I wonder if you can talk alone?"

Yang Zhi thought about it and nodded.

Thundercloud is the leader, and of course the others don't dare to have any opinions.

Yang Zhi led Lei Yun into an empty room, and Lei Yun got straight to the point.

"Master Hou, I've thought about it, your first plan is feasible and ingenious."

"As for the second, I have some questions."

Yang Zhi had already expected this stubble, "Lord Shangshu, please speak." ”

Lei Yun hesitated a little, "Master Hou knows... The ships of the Ministry of Industry do not have the ability to cross the Li River? ”

Yang Zhi smiled, "Lord Shangshu, speaking of which, do you remember an old person?" ”

The topic jumped too fast, and the thunderclouds were a little out of pace.

Yang Zhi's gaze was a little far-reaching, "Master Hou thinks that with those broken ships of the Jinling Army, how did we eliminate the Ryukyu pirates?" ”

Thundercloud blinked, and between the lightning and flint, he remembered a person.

"Teacher, my teacher, Zhang Zhongyu, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is studying warships in the Jinling Army!"

Yang Zhi didn't expect that Lei Yun, the secretary of the Ministry of Engineering, actually had a squire teacher.

Moreover, listening to Thundercloud's tone, he didn't know about the warship.

Uncle Zhang is also tight-lipped about Lei Yun, a student and boss.

"I didn't expect Lord Shangshu to have such a relationship with Uncle Zhang."

Thundercloud touched his nose, apparently remembering the fear of being dominated by his teacher in those years.

"I'm not afraid of Hou Ye making fun of me, when I joined the Ministry of Engineering at the beginning of the year, I was not less educated by teachers."

Yang Zhi laughed twice, "Lord Shangshu is serious, you are now in a high position, and you still respect Uncle Zhang, I also admire you!" ”

Lei Yun waved his hand, "Master Hou doesn't know, the teacher is a person with great wisdom, even if I go up a few levels, I can't reach the teacher's tenths and twelves." ”

This is sincere respect, Yang Zhi can hear it.

"Lord Shangshu, let's not hide it, there are some ships over there in Jinling."
