Chapter 192: Survey the terrain and divide the water

Northwest of Luochuan City, eighty miles.

After a half-day trek, Qin Yun and the others came to the place Xu Jiang said.

The confluence of three rivers here is the Luochuan River from west to east, the Longjiang River from north to south, and the Li River, which is slightly parallel to the Luochuan River and forks to the south.

These three rivers cover almost ninety percent of the Luochuan boundary.

However, now there is a great drought and it is in the dry season.

There is very little water in the Longjiang River, and there is even a large amount of riverbed exposed in the Minjiang River, so that horses with shallow water can cross the river.

However, the Luochuan River, which is the main stream, still has a huge water flow, and the flow speed is very fast!

Xu Jiang explained to Qin Yun: "Your Highness, these three rivers are the root cause of the flood and drought in the entire Luochuan River. ”

"Especially in the Minjiang River, when there is a drought, there is no water in the Minjiang River, causing its downstream tributaries to break off or even dry up. The Minjiang River is one of the main river water sources for the people of Luochuan counties. ”

"In this drought, there is almost no water available in the Minjiang River."

Qin Yun frowned slightly: "This place is only eighty miles away from Luochuan City, why doesn't the imperial court open a canal to drain the water and irrigate the farmland?" ”

Xu Jiang sighed: "Since the founding of the Great Xia, the first emperors of all dynasties have issued holy decrees to summon the world's talents to control the water and open canals. ”

"But the dry period of the Minjiang River is very short, if it were not for this drought, the flood situation would not be reduced during the year. Chen Yi has opened it before, but it caused the river to backflow and flood more than ten counties! ”

"Therefore, all along, the imperial court has used the embankment as a policy to control water. Decades ago, the old man proposed to the imperial court to change the blockage to sparseness, but the imperial court refused many times on the grounds that the treasury was empty. ”

"The old man was angry, so he resigned and went back to Luochuan, trying to find a way to control the water."

"His Royal Highness's policy of dividing the water between the inner and outer rivers and governing the river has made the old man refreshed, if this policy can be achieved, it will be a great cause for the benefit of the ages!"

Qin Yun was a little embarrassed by Xu Jiang's praise, he just put forward his opinion with the farsighted knowledge of another era.

How to implement it depends on the opinions of these craftsmen at present.

"Zhao Jiadi, can it be completed before the autumn flood?"

Zhao Jiadi shook his head: "Even if His Highness has the Heaven-shattering Thunder to help open the mountain and break the rocks, such a huge amount of work will take at least three or five years, or even ten years. ”

"And use the people to say less than 200,000!"

Qin Yun shook his head, now Great Xia is at war with the enemy, not to mention that it will take ten years, not even half a year, because there is not so much manpower and material resources to consume here.

"What do you think are the difficulties if you want to do it in three months?" Qin Yun directly asked the difficulty.

Zhao Jia listed first: "First, the stone is running, there is only a plank road here, and it is not easy for carriages to pass. ”

"Second, if you want to open up the Minjiang River and the Luochuan River, you need to open two mountains, and the amount of earth-shaking thunder is far from enough!"

"Third, and the most difficult point, Your Highness, we don't have any money!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Yun was stunned, and he only considered the people and technologies required for a project.

But ignoring the financial consumption, after all, this is a simulation game, and with his words, people can work with him without eating or drinking, and complete the set goals.

Qin Yun opened his mouth and asked, "Then in your opinion, how many silver taels do you need?" ”

Zhao Jiadi: "If it is a normal time, it will take three million, but in this case, less than five million taels, it cannot be completed!" ”

"Moreover, a lot of materials need to be transported from western Sichuan, including iron sand as His Highness said, and volcanic cement."

Qin Yun frowned slightly, planning for a while and being cool for a while, and panicking when he took out the money.

He found himself forgetting that the economic base was what made all the difference.

Now, counting Qin Chen's accounts receivable, the 500,000 taels given by Liu Zaishi, and the silver money looted in Prince Gong's mansion before.

Qin Yun estimated that he was now short of at least three million taels, but he was not prepared to pay for this money himself.

Qin Yun said with a smile: "The matter of money, this king has already taken countermeasures, Zhao Jiadi, you can start preparing now." As for the Heroic Soul Stone Monument, when this water diversion project is completed, it will not be too late to erect it. ”

"When the time comes, the names of all those involved in this project will be engraved to create a wonder for the ages and go down in history forever!"

"Burn the deeds of Xu Lao, so that the people of Luochuan and future generations will know what Xu Lao has done for them!"

As soon as this remark came out, Xu Jiang was in tears, the ancients, especially scholars, sometimes they were very open to how they were alive, but they often cared about their posthumous names.

Some people spend their whole lives just to leave their own strong strokes on that thin page of history, and this pen cannot be left without emperors and generals, and cannot be left without Confucian sages!

How can he Xu Jiang, how can he be famous?

"Lord Wang, you have tormented the old man, all this is the credit of the prince!"

Qin Yun smiled: "Without you, how could this king find such a good location so quickly, without you, it would be impossible for this king to know everything about the Luochuan water system." ”

"As soon as the project starts, I hope that Lord Xu will support me a lot!"

Xu Jiang arched his hand and said: "The old man will do his best!" ”

Qin Yun knew very well that Xu Jiang's worship could be regarded as truly making up his mind to follow him.

He smiled and helped him up: "Come on, send Lord Xu back to the city." ”

"No!"

Then Qin Yun swept towards the iron bolt on the side.

"Send a letter to the major families in western Sichuan, and say that this king is here to welcome all the heads of the families."

The iron bolt was stunned: "Your Highness, Marshal Ji may not be able to invite the heads of the major families, how can they be invited by His Highness?" ”

Qin Yun smiled: "Because, now this king is their talisman!" ”

……

Meanwhile, on the paths leading to various rivers, a killing is unfolding.

Wu Yingying led his subordinates to ambush in advance, cut horses and kill people, and the people sent out by Qin Zhan lost contact one after another.

At first, Qin Zhan hadn't taken it to heart, after all, he had sent so many people out, and it was not surprising that a few of them were occasionally eaten by tigers and beasts.

But as time went by, there were more and more news of the disappearance, and it wasn't until the spies planted in the team of the dart masters found an opportunity to send a message that Qin Zhan and the others reacted.

"Qin Yun, he is extremely shameless, he actually used a fake map to deceive this king!"

Even Mrs. Liu, who has always been very well-educated, almost burst into foul language, but he also understands that he is also at fault in this matter, after all, it was his intelligence officer who sent the fake map.

Mrs. Liu groaned: "Qin Yun is quite scheming, it seems that we will pay more attention to him in the future!" ”

Qin Zhan was very unhappy, but he didn't dare to attack Taifu Liu, but asked respectfully: "Taifu, otherwise, just don't do anything, and directly send someone to attack and kill Qin Yun!" ”

Mrs. Liu shook his head: "By all means, His Highness failed to do his best last time, and it has already caused public anger!" Anyway, now that Qin Yun already knows Qin Tian's secret, let the two of them fight first when the time comes. ”

"Lord Wang, the top priority is how to go north, drive out the Iron Wolf King and make immortal feats, only in this way can the people of the world have nothing to say!"

Qin Zhan was very unwilling, with his temperament, he suffered such a big loss, and he would have already killed people with a gun!

But he also understands that winning the heir is not all about fists, but also about brains, and most importantly, he needs the support of these people behind Taifu.

"Taifu, this king understands, this king will go to reorganize the army and fight."

Taifu bowed slightly: "The son can be taught!" ”

But in fact, he didn't have a score in his heart, and Qin Yun's insight was too terrifying. Could it be that they also have Qin Yun spies by their side?

People are like this, and when they start to have doubts, it is difficult to extinguish them.

Mrs. Liu immediately ordered to check the people around him, I don't know if I don't check it, I was shocked when I checked it, Qin Yun's people didn't find out the fine works planted by other princes, it was a gopher in the field and a fake one!

……

"Sibas, why did you betray me?"

In the deep mountains and old forests, the martial heroes' dart division team gathered in a valley, and at this moment he clutched his chest and looked at the two masters in front of him in disbelief.
