"What about you?" Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Chunfeng and asked.

Li Chunfeng took a sip of wine, and then threw the bottle to Yuan Tiangang.

"I also care about the common people, but I prefer to follow the will of God."

"Then you still help Brother Yunxiao speak in front of His Majesty and let him solve this locust plague?"

Li Chunfeng waved his hand: "This locust plague is also in line with the sky, even if Brother Yunxiao doesn't say it, it is only a matter of time before the locust plague is solved." ”

"If it can be resolved as soon as possible, why delay and let the people fall into trouble?"

Li Yunxiao rolled his eyes, how could these two guys quarrel without saying a word.

Yuan Tiangang took a sip of wine, and then looked at Chang'an with his hands behind his back.

"Although the locust plague has been resolved, the food has been sharply reduced, and I think that in less than three months, there will be chaos among the people."

Li Yunxiao cocked Erlang's legs, put his chin in one hand and said with a smile: "Open the treasury, don't you just put grain, don't you say that the treasury has no grain, I don't believe it." ”

Li Yunxiao has watched many TV dramas, and whenever there is a disaster, it is all because the treasury is opened to distribute grain to solve the problem.

Of course, what he watched were all episodes where local corrupt officials privately withheld grain and caused the people to live poorly, but I have to say that this is a good trick.

Yuan Tiangang nodded, and said in a heavy voice:

"Over the years, there have been disasters among the people, and His Majesty did the same, but you can't open the treasury every natural disaster, and sooner or later the treasury will be exhausted."

"Moreover, in recent years, the people have had bad luck, and the grain harvest is very small."

"If there is an enemy attacking, the treasury is empty, and the people have no food in stock, how will my Datang deal with it."

Li Chunfeng opened his mouth and said: "The Tang Dynasty has begun to show signs of prosperity, why is Brother Yuan worrying about the sky? ”

Yuan Tiangang said seriously: "For the people of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty will inherit forever, and I, Yuan Tiangang, will take precautions!" ”

Hearing this, Li Chunfeng was also silent at this time, as if he was thinking about a solution.

Li Yunxiao sat up at this time and said lightly: "I have a way to try, that is, it will take a long time." ”

"What's the solution!?"

The two immediately looked at Li Yunxiao.

Li Yunxiao pretended to be mysterious and said, "I'll ask a few questions first. ”

"Is there plenty of water in the south, and there will be waterlogging in the rainy season, and is there a perennial drought in the north, and there will be drought in the summer?"

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang's eyes lit up instantly.

Yuan Tiangang said: "You are right, it is true, you continue!" ”

Li Yunxiao continued: "If this is the case, why not build a super reservoir in the place where the southern rivers are fast. ”

"In this way, during the rainy season, the water is stored and the people are spared from flooding."

"Then find a way to create a north-south permeable canal, every time there is a drought, open the sluice gate to release water, and transfer the water stored in the south to the north, so that it is not the best of both worlds, and it is directly solved!"

After Li Yunxiao finished speaking, the imaginary excitement did not appear.

"Brother Yunxiao, the method you said is feasible, but now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve, just the capital and manpower are a big difficulty, and how much food and various supplies will be consumed, and how can it be transported?"

Yuan Tiangang said lightly: "It's not just difficult to achieve, it's simply unrealistic. ”

"I see, I'm thinking too much."

"No, no, no." Li Chunfeng's eyes lit up: "It is difficult to complete the complete opening of the canal, but a lot of it has already been built, if only a section of the road is built, it may work, but it is not enough to achieve the perfection as imagined." ”

"And the most important thing is that the food, clothing, housing and transportation of workers are not easy to solve, and if they are forced to operate, they will definitely cost people and money."

Li Yunxiao pondered for a moment and said: "If you say that, it's nothing more than a matter of food and clothing, we are poor now, but we can take our time, you give me some time, maybe I can study some ways to help." ”

"Brother Yunxiao's words are true!?" Yuan Tiangang asked in some surprise.

Li Yunxiao shook his head and nodded: "The monks don't fight.... No, no, no, poor road... Not right, heck, believe me anyway! ”

The corners of Yuan Tiangang's mouth curled up, and he looked at Li Chunfeng by the way, revealing the appearance of a victor.

If this method is feasible and slightly solves some of the natural disasters close to the people, it will be the victory of human will over heavenly will!

The same is true of man's victory!

"But I have to ask first, I think most of our buildings are made of wood and stone, and they don't look very strong."

"Do you know where there is plaster?"

"Plaster?" Li Yuan and the others glanced at each other and shook their heads.

They hadn't even heard of it.

"What about the limestone?"

Li Chunfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Over there in Henan Province, I have heard of such a thing. ”

"Good! Just have it! ”

"Since there is limestone, the gypsum mine should also be nearby, Brother Yuan, I need you to send someone to find it."

"Okay, but what do you want to do with both of these things?"

"Cement."

"Cement?"

"Oh, you don't have to worry about what it is, it's useful anyway."

"Then I'll go now!"

After Yuan Tiangang said a word, he jumped down directly from the pavilion and disappeared into the darkness.

As early as when Yuan Tiangang applied for the establishment of a special organization, he had more than a dozen people under him for his use, and the lowest strength of these dozen people was in the big star position, and they were first-class good at doing things.

Li Chunfeng pinched his fingers and shook his head after a moment, he still hadn't calculated anything about Li Yunxiao.

Li Yunxiao got up at this time and went to the house to take out a set of paper and pencils, and drew something on it.

"Brother Li, while it's not dark, can you help me find the best blacksmith to come over?"

"What's the point of looking for a blacksmith yourself?" Li Chunfeng whistled, and a bird landed on his hand.

Immediately afterwards, he took Li Yunxiao's pen and wrote a letter, and then tied it to the bird's leg and let it go.

"Tut-tut...."Li Yunxiao looked at the flying birds flying away and unconsciously thought of the communication equipment.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen big men, carrying large bags and small bags, ran down the mountain, and after a while, they came to them with a wheez.

"Master Li, you called me, what do you want to help, you see, I brought all my apprentices!"

The blacksmith's name is Zhang Tieman, Li Chunfeng is kind to him, after receiving the summons, he cleaned up the guy's affairs as soon as possible, and ran over with his apprentices, and the shop was gone!

Li Yunxiao felt the breath of a few people a little, all of them were not ordinary people, they were all around the small star position, and even the one at the front took the lead, which was similar to his breath, and it was a middle star position.

Li Chunfeng pointed at Li Yunxiao.

Zhang Tieman stepped forward and arched his hand: "What does this adult want to build?" ”

Li Yunxiao handed him the drawing paper.

"Built according to this, the size is like.... It's that big. Li Yunxiao said, making two gestures, with a diameter of about one meter.

Zhang Tieman looked at the drawing paper and frowned.

To be honest, this painting is really abstract, isn't this just a square?

"Your Excellency, you are..."

"Just do it, don't ask the rest, you just say if you can do it."

"Okay! Over to us! ”

Zhang Tieman agreed, and then found an open space, and the apprentices opened their backpacks, supported the stove, and then began to light a fire.

At the same time, the rest of the backpacks had some iron and some metal taken out one by one.

Li Chunfeng took the map and looked at it at this time, and after looking at it for a long time, he also didn't understand.

"What is Brother Yunxiao making?"

Li Yunxiao whispered: "Manual Ya Yan Butterfly, no, no, it's a manual dough sheeter." ”

....

Inside the Imperial Study.

Yuan Tiangang reported the matter.

After Li Shimin heard this, he was stunned for a long time.

Then he looked up to the sky and laughed, stepped forward and patted Yuan Tiangang on the shoulder.

"Good! All right!! ”

"Yuan Tiangang! This method is feasible, although I have insufficient financial resources after the Tang Weishui Alliance, but this law can be delayed, you have made a great contribution and helped the people of Datang! You're a blessing to me! Hahahahaha...."

Li Shimin laughed excitedly, if such feats are completed, wouldn't he Li Shimin be able to leave a strong mark in the long river of history?

Yuan Tiangang pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, this method was not thought up by the minister. ”

"Huh?" Li Shimin stopped laughing and asked, "Who proposed it?" ”

"It's Chen's brother, Li Yunxiao!"

"What did Li Yunxiao say? Is it him again? ”

"Exactly."

Li Shimin immediately grabbed Yuan Tiangang's shoulders.

"National teacher, can you persuade him to become an official under me?"

It's a pity that such a talent can come up with such a way and let it go if he is not an official!

Li Shimin could have been subdued by forceful means, but he was worried that this guy would pick on him.

If it is because of his loss of a talent for the country and the people, then he Li Shimin is really stupid.

Yuan Tiangang shook his head: "The minister has already said that he doesn't like to be an official." ”

Li Shimin pretended to be distressed, and then said with a wry smile: "I like this proposal very much, I want to reward him, you tell me, what does he like?" Do you want to avoid death gold medal? ”

Yuan Tiangang thought for a moment and said softly: "Maybe... Probably want money. ”

"Money?" Li Shimin read a sentence, and then laughed.

"Good! Let's go back first, I need to discuss this matter with the ministers tomorrow morning! ”

"Then, the matter of mining in Henan Province...."Yuan Tiangang asked.

Li Shimin waved his hand: "You are a bad handsome, you are fully responsible, dare to stop it, you deal with it yourself!" ”

"Minister, Commander!"

After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After he left, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with purple-gold internal light.

Rumble!

The internal force was released, mixed with Li Shimin's wild laughter.

"Lucky general! He, Li Yunxiao, is my lucky general! If my people of the Tang Dynasty can breathe in the future, Jieli, you wait for me! ”

After laughing, he seemed to sense something, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Get out!" ”

"Your Majesty, try locusts today, the concubine is worried that Your Majesty will lose your appetite, so she has made ginseng porridge for you."

When Li Shimin saw the visitor, he instantly restrained his breath and hurriedly smiled.

"It turned out to be the Queen."

Empress Eldest Sun puts the food on the table.

"The concubine was very happy to see His Majesty just now, but because the locust plague was solved?"

Li Shimin shook his head, and then said about the south-to-north water diversion project.

After hearing this, Empress Eldest Sun, like Li Shimin at the beginning, her eyes widened and her face was incredulous.

How come they hadn't thought of such an option?

But after that, the eldest grandson queen frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, this kind of thing, I'm afraid that the human things required will reach an unimaginable number...."

Li Shimin nodded.

"The queen can rest assured, I will discuss this matter with everyone tomorrow morning, and when Jieli is dealt with, I will let them start work."

"If I don't get rid of this Jieli, I can't sleep in my heart, I want to watch him Jieli come to me in person to apologize!"

When Empress Changsun heard this, she suddenly said softly: "Then Your Majesty, since this is the case, it is better to call that Li Yunxiao to come over, this person is so smart, if you don't control it, it will be Your Majesty's loss." ”

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and a trace of killing intent couldn't help but emerge.

"Of course I know, but he just doesn't get in the oil and salt, and the national teacher and Li Chunfeng also intercede for him, I can't do it in front of the two of them, it's difficult for a strong man."

Empress Eldest Sun smiled lightly: "If Your Majesty can trust the concubine, the concubine is willing to explore him." ”

Li Shimin's eyebrows twitched.

"How do you want to find out?"

Empress Eldest Sun said softly: "Then Li Yunxiao, Li Chunfeng and a few national teachers, after leaving the locust banquet today, they went to Anle Pavilion. ”

"I know that."

Li Shimin's dark lines are all over Chang'an, and it is too simple to know some things.

Empress Changsun continued: "Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about beauty, or money and power, he will always want one, Your Majesty is inconvenient to say in person, the concubine can do it for him, go and see if he really doesn't care about anything." ”

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Then it's hard for the queen, if Li Yunxiao is willing to submit, I will give him a fief, if not, the queen still don't embarrass him, after all, there are still Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng here, I can use them."

Empress Eldest Sun nodded: "The concubine understands. ”

With Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng protecting Li Yunxiao, if he has no rebellious heart, he Li Shimin doesn't want to use force.
