"That waterwheel at the entrance of the village was made by Mr.?" Wang Xu asked.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's me." Then he asked, "Do you have any business?" ”

Wang Xu immediately said: "Sir, can you be proficient in water conservancy? ”

"I don't dare to say that I am proficient, but I like to study water conservancy."

"I have a question about water conservancy here, and I want to ask Mr. for advice, but I don't know if Mr. can teach me?" Wang Xu asked.

"What's the problem?"

Wang Xu beckoned, and soon a guard brought over a white silk cloth and unfolded it. This silk cloth is painted with a large number of chaotic lines, which seem to be the trend of some mountains and rivers.

"Sir, this is a map of the topography of mountains and rivers, there are many rivers in it, and floods often occur, I wonder if Mr. has a good plan to curb the floods and turn these floods into a source that can irrigate the farmland?" Wang Xu pointed to the topographic map on the silk cloth and said while explaining.

Li Bing looked at the drawings in front of him and frowned, the map in front of him was very large, and it contained a lot of information, and Wang Xu's requirements just now were also very high, and it was very difficult to perfectly combine flood control and irrigation. However, Li Bing thought of the water control method he had learned over the years, and he really wanted to give it a try.

Li Bing took the tool in his hand and began to write and draw on the drawings, and Wang Xu was not in a hurry to ask for an answer, and sat on the side to watch him busy. As the clock ticked, the sun set and the light dimmed. Wang Xu asked the guards to take out candles and oil lamps to light them.

After another hour or so, Li Bing put down his tools and muttered, "No, there are still many things that need to be seen in person, and there is too little information on the drawings."

"Is there a solution, sir?" Wang Xu asked.

"Yes!" Li Bing said confidently: "However, although the drawings on this drawing are very detailed, I still need to go to the scene to see it in person." ”

"Good!" Wang Xu was overjoyed and said: "If Qing can really do it, the widow will never be stingy with rewards!" ”

"You are. Monarch? Li Bing came back to his senses and asked with some surprise.

Wang Xu laughed and said, "It's the widow!" ”

Saying that, Wang Xu issued an edict: "The edict orders Li Bing to inspect the imperial history for Huaiguo, and enter the palace early tomorrow morning to play the right." ”

The chamberlain, who had already been prepared next to him, gave Li Bing the official uniform seal letter, leaving two chamberlains to take him into the palace tomorrow, and Wang Xu left.

Following. The sky was dark, Wang Xu was served by the maid, washed up, got up, and after breakfast, walked to the Qianyuan Palace.

The early dynasty system of Huai was also set in the Zijue period, and the time was set at the time of Chen, not the time of madness, after all, it was not yet dawn in the morning.

When the early dynasty began, Wang Xu glanced slightly, and soon found Li Bing in the crowd, and the next thing was naturally to let him play the water control strategy planned yesterday.

Among the ministers of Huaiguo, there are many people who know how to control water, and after listening to Li Bing's strategy, they also feel that the feasibility is very high, so Wang Xu added him as the imperial history of Huaiguo Inspector, and concurrently served as the minister of water control in Shu, and went to the land of Bashu to control water.

After getting Wang Xu's seal, Li Bing was also very excited, and the way to control water that he had studied for most of his life finally came into use. immediately thanked Wang Xu.

Wang Xu sent two hundred Lin Wei as his personal guards and obeyed his dispatch. At the same time, he also ordered Le Yi to cooperate with Li Bing to control the water, and at the same time implement the Huailu reform in the land of Bashu.

After the Qin State admitted defeat, Wang Xu did not chase after the Qin State, after all, it was very difficult to attack the Qin State from that road, the road was dangerous, and Guanzhong was the territory that the Qin State had operated for hundreds of years, and it was difficult to break through.

The people of the land of Bashu are very supportive of the policies of Huai, but those local wealthy clans don't think so. The wealthy families in various parts of the Huai Kingdom are now very reasonable, and their actions can almost be called village sages, because there are generations of Huai royal families who have been educated with swords and iron rods. Now these local wealthy families in Bashu are not.

These people had already lost a lot of strength in the oppression of the Qin State, and they were not opponents here in the Huai State. Huai Guo has too much experience in dealing with these local wealthy clans. These local wealthy clans were not the opponents of Huai at all, and they were quickly cleaned up honestly.

Under the escort of Yu Linwei, Li Bing took his son all the way up the river by boat to Kuimen, and then crossed the Three Gorges along the Yangtze River plank road into Jiangzhou, and then took a boat from Jiangzhou to enter the Tuojiang River, and finally came to the land of Bashu.

After entering the land of Bashu, Li Bing did not immediately start to levy labor, but personally led people to visit the mountains and rivers of Bashu under the leadership of local guides, and at the same time inquired in detail about the floods experienced by the surrounding people for decades.

In the land of Bashu, the Minjiang River is the most flooded, after the Minjiang River comes out of the high mountain valley, the water surface is rapidly opened, the river channel is not deep, as long as it encounters big water, it is easy to flood, and the left side of the mountain twists and turns, the terrain is complex to block the water flow, let the water flow to the right side, the river narrows, once it encounters the big water, the right side will be flooded immediately.

Li Bing and his son conducted a detailed survey of the Minjiang River system. At the same time, the land around Chengdu was calculated. According to Wang Xu's requirements, it is not only necessary to solve the flood, but also to let the water of the Minjiang River be used for irrigation. Turn the land of Bashu into a country of abundance, a land of fish and rice.

The terrain around the Minjiang River is complex, and its left bank is blocked by mountains, so no embankment can be built. At the same time, if you want to use the water of the Min River to irrigate the land, you need to divert the Min River.

The whole water system project is very complicated, Li Bing and his son calculated the water volume, terrain level, water flow speed and so on of the Minjiang River, Tuojiang River and other rivers, and conducted a detailed survey of the surrounding water veins, and then Li Bing and his son began to draw pictures and texts and began to think about how to establish water conservancy.

Compared with the previous water conservancy projects built by Huaiguo, this set of water conservancy projects designed by Li Bing and his son is even more daring, and they have canceled the design of the dam. At the same time, the diversion method was used to irrigate the water-scarce Chengdu Plain.

After dozens of corrections and changes, the design of this hydraulic project was finally completed. Immediately afterwards, Li Bing found Le Yi and asked him to help recruit the people and prepare to build a water conservancy project.

Le Yi was reforming the land of Bashu at this time, and after learning that Li Bing was ready to start construction, he immediately took those local heroes who were dissatisfied with Huai State directly confiscated their homes, and used money and grain to support water conservancy construction, and people were directly conscripted and labored. It not only saved money and food, freed up a lot of space, but also increased manpower for the construction of water conservancy, and also reduced local turmoil.

It can be described as a win-win-win, and Huaiguo has won three times.
