The treasury is short of food, and the people are short of food.

But it's not impossible.

Chu Ze immediately wrote a letter and asked Zhao Si to send it to Yingtian immediately.

Li Xing stood aside, wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, "Is this possible?" ”

"Definitely." Chu Ze looked sideways at him and asked, "Are you done?" So idle. "I even had time to follow him.

Li Xing chuckled and said, "Don't look down on me so much. ”

Although he is down now, but before, it was also the material of a country's reserves.

Coincidentally, Ryukyu is also an island, and they have been dealing with water since they were born, isn't it Kamcha water?

Hand to hand.

Thinking of this, Li Xing's face suddenly became serious.

He walked inside and shouted to Chu Ze to sit down.

"Come, let's tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Chu Ze sat over and looked at Li Xing in confusion.

Li Xing didn't answer immediately, but took out a piece of paper, spread it out on the table, he pointed to it, and said, "This is the water situation map I have drawn these days, look here." He tapped his finger somewhere on the map, and Chu Ze's gaze followed his finger as it moved.

"I have already found out that the flood this time is due to the continuous rain in the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River, which caused the water of the Xiangjiang River to rise. And when the river arrives here...... Li Xing focused on a certain place again, "Look here, there is a big turn. ”

These turns intensify the current, making it turbulent.

Then it surged downward.

"I can see that there have been attempts to build a dam here to block the flow of water. But it is precisely these dikes that make the Xiangjiang floods out of control. If you want to completely solve the flooding of the Xiangjiang River, you must deal with these hidden dangers one by one, and Hengyang can be peaceful in the future. ”

Chu Ze listened to Li Xing's analysis and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Yes, yes, but it's a big project."

The implication is that you can't decide.

Chu Ze raised his head and met Shang Li Xing's serious eyes.

Seeing Li Xing say this, what ...... So what else can Chu Ze do?

Of course, it's a report.

"Let's go write a recital."

He was about to get up, Chu Ze suddenly remembered something, he paused his pen again, and looked sideways at Li Xing.

Li Xing tilted his head and looked back, his expression puzzled.

Chu Ze suddenly said: "If you take these waters and let them form lakes according to the situation, what do you think?" ”

Li Xing raised an eyebrow.

He sat up straight and wondered, "Why do you want to make a lake?" ”

The current here is quite strong.

It's not like it's not water-starved.

Chu Ze put down the pen and walked back to his previous position and sat down.

"Do you know the phrase 'Suhu is ripe, the world is full'?" Chu Ze looked at Li Xing directly.

Li Xing knows a lot about the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Just think about it a little, and then I remember.

He replied: "Of course, I know that this sentence first came from the Song Dynasty, which means that as long as Suzhou and Huzhou have a bumper harvest, the food of the people of the world will be enough. ”

However, Da Ming obviously did not continue this sentence.

I can't even get enough food to save the disaster now.

Li Xing pouted in disgust.

Chu Ze: "......"

Chu Ze just didn't see his dislike, and then Li Xing's words continued.

"You're right, but now you have seen the situation in Daming, we can't count on Suhu, but we can get a 'lake is ripe, and the world is full'." Chu Ze wanted to mention this sentence that would be passed down in later generations for dozens or hundreds of years.

Let this sentence be circulated in the early Ming Dynasty.

Chu Ze's eyes lit up, and he analyzed: "Hubei and Hunan have lush water and soil, pleasant climate, and large plains, which have natural conditions that are very suitable for the growth of crops. Didn't you just say that there is a problem with the flow of the Xiangjiang River? Then change it and make the water work for us. ”

Build this place into a large agricultural base.

And how can agriculture be separated from water?

Thinking of water, Chu Ze thought of Dongting Cave again.

Dongting Cave is also in Hunan.

And it's in Yueyang.

In modern times, Dongting Lake is also extremely famous for its freshwater products.

So why can't he develop now?

Chu Ze talked with Li Xing for almost a night.

In the end, Li Xing was persuaded by Chu Ze.

He gave Chu Ze a thumbs up and said, "Your method is indeed feasible, and I didn't make a mistake in my decision to come back." ”

When he left Daming, he didn't want to come back.

But later, he still figured it out.

Come back.

Chu Ze's thoughts made him very amazed.

If you follow him, you will definitely be able to see many things that you can't usually see and hear.

The main thing is that they can't beat the Ming yet.

Instead of killing yourself, it is better to live well.

Now it seems that he did not make a mistake in his decision.

Chu Ze raised his chin proudly and said, "Do you still need to talk about it?" You wait, let's present this idea to the emperor now, and let him send the seed down immediately. In a few years, our idea will become a reality. ”

Li Xing is looking forward to it when he thinks about it.

But......

"Hmph, instead of thinking about what will happen in a few years, let's think about what to do now."

Chu Ze's idea is good, but the premise is that they can live until a few years later.

But looking at the current situation, they will probably only live for three days.

When Chu Ze heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

He looked at Li Xing speechlessly.

The scribe has been in a hurry these days.

Little by little, the food has bottomed out, but the relief food has not yet arrived.

Seeing that the food is running out.

The scribe couldn't wait to find Chu Ze a hundred times a day.

Chu Ze annoyed him so much.

"Isn't there still food?" Chu Ze said, "What are you afraid of." If we are here, can we still run out of food? ”

Chu Ze swore by it.

Li Xing glanced at him without a trace.

The scribe was in a hurry, and Chu Ze was also in a hurry.

It's just that Chu Ze has never shown it in front of the scribe.

"Okay, Lord Chu has already written to Yingtian, why are you in a hurry? If you really can't do it, let's eat wild vegetables first. Li Xing's tone was still calm.

As long as you have to eat and starve to death, for Li Xing, it is not a desperate situation.

So what's there to rush about?

Besides, is this a hurry?

Li Xing's mind is very peaceful.

So peaceful that the scribe rolled his eyes.

He looked at the two unmoved adults, gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "Okay, then we won't ask anymore." ”

As long as there is food the day after tomorrow, he can do whatever he wants.

The time came the next night.

Chu Ze looked in the direction of the city gate, and his hair fell out one by one.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

If people don't come, it won't matter, and if they don't write a letter.

Whether it's successful or not, it's better to give a sentence.

There will be no food to eat tomorrow morning.

He boasted about Haikou and said that he would not run out of food.

It's not going to slap him in the face, is it?

Li Xing stood beside him, looked at the official road that was still empty, and sneered: "According to me, let's go dig wild vegetables." Send someone out to dig now, and tomorrow morning will definitely fill everyone's stomachs. ”

Chu Ze turned his head and raised his middle finger at him.

Damn, you kid is still digging wild vegetables and addicted to digging, aren't you? Opening and closing the mouth is to dig wild vegetables. (End of chapter)
