Emperor Liao's visit to Kaifeng lasted half a month, and then he was escorted by the King of Zhongshan to set off north, visiting various cities along the way, and it took a month to reach Yanshan, and then he was admitted to the Yanwang Mansion by his uncle and grandmother.

Later, the Great Liao Imperial Court borrowed Yanshan.

Anyway, his uncle and grandmother have a bunch of palaces, just take out one and give him a place to live.

As for the accompanying ministers, including those princesses and princesses, this is just to find a place to live in Yanshan, anyway, the Great Liao Emperor will give the ministers a fortune, those princesses or something, and there is also the money given by King Yan every month to live. It's also a family, even if it belongs to two countries now, but this relative is still a relative after all, and the wealthy King Yan doesn't care about this little money, and even those princesses who are not married, and the princesses who have died of their husbands, are also responsible for finding men by King Yan.

They don't have that many restrictions.

King Zhongshan, who returned to Yanshan Mansion, finally completed his wedding to Princess Maode.

In addition, because he is still the king of Ming, he also married a princess to this identity......

Well, the king of the Great Song Dynasty and the king of Ming were not married to the same person, the king of Ming married the niece of the king of Yan.

The king of the Great Song Dynasty can be Princess Shang Maode, there is no problem with this, but the king of Ming can not marry the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song Dynasty does not have the harmony of the Han and Tang Dynasties......

Although my Great Song originally sent out more than the Han and Tang Dynasties combined.

But theoretically, my Great Song Dynasty does not have the harmony of the Han and Tang Dynasties, so Princess Maode cannot marry a vassal king like King Ming, so King Ming can only marry another wife, fortunately, there is no such problem in Da Liao, so Emperor Da Liao personally gave marriage, in the name of his father, he gave the title of Xiao Ta Buyan, a noble girl born in the Da Liao family, the eldest princess and the pro-Da Ming.

In this way, King Ming can hug left and right.

On one side is the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and on the other side is the princess of the Great Liao......

It's beautiful!

Poor Princess Da Song had no complaints.

It is said that when Wang Yue returned to Yanshan, he learned that his fiancée had been played by others, and she was already playing wildly.

This is also retribution.

When he cuckolded the great painter, he should have thought of this newspaper.

The green man is always green!

After the wedding, the king of Zhongshan enjoyed his life in Yanshan Mansion, as if he forgot that he had raised millions of troops on the West Lake and immediately became the first peak of Wushan, but he was just on his own territory, and quickly launched a series of big plans. The first is to take advantage of the population returning from Liaodong to quickly start dredging the new estuary of the Yellow River north of Cangzhou in the spring while it is thawing......

It's not a big deal.

Because there was an old river channel there.

As for the problem that the Fuyang River is not wide enough to accommodate the torrent of the Yellow River during the flood season, it is enough to ignore it, at this time it is full of uninhabited areas of seawater inflow, and all the way to the sea are saline-alkali flats, and even if the water of the Yellow River overflows downstream, it will continue to flow forward into the sea and will not flow back.

Then the Yellow River dam in the Changlu area was opened and the Yellow River water was diverted into this new channel.

In this way, the plains north of Cangzhou have completely escaped the harm of the Yellow River, and all that remains is to continuously dig channels to the east from the water network of the Great Wall of Water......

Originally, the water there was free to go east.

However, in order to ensure the barrier of the Great Wall of Water, the Great Song Dynasty deliberately maintained the flow of the Yellow River into the sea in the Haihe River, blocking all eastward river water through the Yellow River embankment, and the siltation of the Yellow River sediment would continue to raise the terrain, and finally the water of the Great Wall of Water would always remain there. There is no need for this barrier now, and if the Yellow River is diverted and these rivers are restored, they will quickly create large plains north of modern Cangzhou and south of Tianjin, and the water surface of the Great Wall of Water will shrink dramatically back to its natural state.

As a result, the receded land became fertile and fertile land.

This has been understood throughout the ages, but the problem is that it has not been possible for generations to do so.

The Song Dynasty needed the Great Wall of Water, and the Song Dynasty needed to maintain the canal after the Song Dynasty, and the canal was to cut off the flowing water to the east and protect the navigation of the canal.

Of course, Wang Yue's Yellow River shipping was affected.

But the impact is not very great, because one is that the Yellow River shipping was limited at this time, and the other is actually the real Yellow River shipping line that he followed Tong Taishi, that is, the water transportation line that Wuqiang transferred to Raoyang and entered the Hutuo River, and the lower reaches of the Yellow River need to face the sea tide, so the Tianjin area was originally a few small villages, and it was not a water transportation line.

Third, Wang Yue prefers sea freight.

At this time, he also had the Wuzhang River, from which he entered Liangshanbo and then continued to go out to sea, and then transferred from the sea to Tianjin or Lutai.

This is much stronger than inland waterway shipping, and it can also closely link Shandong with this side.

"You're much better than the old man!"

Tong Taishi stood outside Tianjin, looked at the clear Haihe River in front of him and sighed.

It can no longer be called the Yellow River, but has been restored to its true appearance, but the area is still not really developed on a large scale because of the threat of tidal backflow.

However, this problem is not difficult to solve.

All that is needed is an irrigation canal that leads out of the Daqing River, bypasses Tianjin and enters the Haihe River downstream, and then blocks the exit with a sluice gate, or an upgraded version of the Machang River, which is already underway, and Wang Yue plans to build all the irrigation systems that can be built in modern central Hebei. The altitude in this area is very uniform, even if Mozhou is already inland, and the altitude of the coastal areas is only a few meters, and there are few places above sea level of more than ten meters.

On such a pure plain, if you don't build countless channels, you will really destroy the heavens, and once you enter the flood season, it will cause a large area of flooding.

The altitude is so uniform that the slightest flood will flow everywhere.

With canals, not only can irrigation be carried out, but also can be drained quickly, so that the flood water has a fixed discharge.

In short, Wang Yue has already formulated a lot of revival plans in this land to completely restore the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

During the Tang Dynasty, the population of Mozhou alone reached 340,000, and the population of Yingzhou, that is, Hejian, reached an astonishing 660,000, although the states of the Tang Dynasty were larger than now, but now Wang Yue evaluated Cangzhou as half a no-man's land with a population of 820,000, and Cangzhou of the Great Song Dynasty was not smaller than the Cangzhou jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, with a current population of 110,000, plus 200,000 women and children.

Where was the highest population density in the Tang Dynasty?

Yangzhou and Yizhou?

Chang'an and Luoyang?

Wrong!

It is Wei Zhou, which is the envoy of Wei Bojiedu.

A total of fourteen counties crowded on the plains, with a population of a terrifying one hundred and one hundred thousand.

The population of Henan Prefecture, where Luoyang is located, is 60,000 more than that of Weizhou, but there are six more counties, and Jingzhao Mansion has a population of nearly two million, which is also six more counties than Weizhou, but there are still 130 prefectures under Jingzhao Mansion, and there is no one in Weizhou!

This was Hebei during the Tang Dynasty.

However, the population of the Daimyo Mansion in the Great Song Dynasty was similar to that of Weizhou.

But the population of this area, which Wang Yue has just arrived, is less than one-third of what it was during the Tang Dynasty.

He still has a lot to do.

"Taifu, I'm different from you, to put it bluntly, you are doing things for the Emperor, no matter what you do, the Emperor has to nod your head, just like you canceled Huashigang in Jiangnan, and then the Emperor Taishang wants to recover, you can only complain a few words but can't do anything in the end.

I can do it if I want to.

There is no rope tied to the body, so it is natural to do things easily. ”

Wang Yue said.

Tong Taishi......

At this time, it has been changed to Taifu.

For the sake of Wang Yue's face, Zhao Huan didn't move him, but he didn't recall the capital, he continued to hold the title of a marriage envoy, as well as the prince of the county, the false position of the Taifu, in fact, he retired in Yanshan, but because it was not interesting in Yanshan, most of him was still in Tianjin and Lutai.

In essence, he was exiled here by Zhao Huan.

But now he's got another big job......

"Emperor Taishang, Emperor Taishang was still bewitched by Cai You after all."

Mrs. Tong sighed.

At this time, the secret of Cai You's death had been spread, but in fact, he continued to be his women's clothing boss and acted as a strategist beside the great painter.

"What you have to do on this trip is very simple, that is, to invite the Emperor Taishang to send a cronie to the capital and talk calmly with the imperial court, I and the official family do not want to go to war with the Emperor Taishang, but the current situation is also unacceptable to us, everything else is easy to say, but this money and food will not work after all. He is willing to retire in the south, which we can all accept, but he can't cut off the money and food, we still have to eat here! ”

Wang Yue said.

"Can you agree to the Emperor Taishang to set up a separate court?"

Tong Guan said suspiciously.

"Of course I can't agree, there are no two days, there are no two people, and the Great Song Dynasty can only have one court, but some details can be discussed."

Wang Yue said with a smile.

Master Tong understood that the great painter could play secession in the south, but not in this form, especially if he had to pay money to the north, and the rest could be resolved through negotiation, that is, there was no need to talk about giving money, at most how much to give.

"The old man really didn't expect it!"

He said with a smile.

"I actually didn't have any other thoughts, I was forced by Cai You's gang at the beginning, but there was no turning back when I opened the bow, since I started, I can only go on."

Wang Yue said.

Tong Guan smiled and nodded.

"King!"

At this time, Shi Jin hurriedly ran over and dismounted to salute.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Yue said.

Shi Jin is in charge of water conservancy construction in this area.

"The gentry of the Baoding army obstructed the digging of the ditch and fought with our people, and dozens of casualties were killed and wounded on both sides."

Shi Jin said.

"Uh, why are they obstructing?"

Wang Yue was stunned.

"Many gentry in the Wen'anwa area occupy the lake and then plant rice there, and if you drain the water of the Great Wall of Water, their paddy fields will be turned into dry fields, and even if the newly retreated wasteland is reclaimed or paddy fields, it is not theirs, then they will naturally obstruct it."

Tong Guan said.
