"What an atrocity this is...... Human life is not a number, how can it be so simple to convert numbers?" said the scholar with some incoherence.

Although it is very unimposing, this statement itself is still very marketable in the Song Kingdom.

The third-floor monarch didn't show any sarcastic expression when he heard this, and the reason why it was difficult for them to make a decision was also for this similar reason.

There were many people in the Song Dynasty, and the monarch was not good at making decisions, so the matter of controlling the river and preventing flooding has been delayed. At this time, let Gongye Dazai release the news, maybe he wanted to see how the people discussed this matter.

Gongye Dazai's expression was gloomy, and it was obvious that he didn't know how to answer the scholar's weak rebuttal. And Gongye Siming on the second floor saw that his most respected grandfather was being questioned, but he could only speak in a hurry...... For the first time, he felt that he was really too presumptuous.

Seeing this, Su Li smiled calmly: "Human life is indeed not a number, if possible, of course, it is better to work together to tide over the difficulties." ”

"But we can't always look for the best without anticipating the worst. ”

"The current situation is that once the rainy season arrives, there is an eighty percent chance that the Song Mother River will burst. At that time, not only the farmland along the river, but also the large mound may be flooded...... You have to plan ahead. ”

Su Li's words were not alarmist, they just tore apart a corner that everyone didn't want to think about.

He seemed to be gentle, but he showed everything in front of these naïve readers in a very cold manner, and then said:

"The mother river will be flooded, and if the status quo continues, there is an 80 percent chance that a major breach will occur at the height of the flooding. At that time, the whole country will be flooded, and Daqiu will also be affected, not to mention his hometown. ”

After that, because of the disaster that year, the Song Kingdom lost thousands of acres of fertile land. The rich are like having surplus food, but how can these million Li people be almsgiving?"

"When the famine is rampant, if Ruoer and others are the center, have you ever thought about how to settle the victims and deal with possible rebellions?"

"The people take food as the sky, and the people have no food. ”

"When you wait for the Song State to relax its military preparations, how can you save yourself?"

A series of questions seemed to have penetrated the present and seen the future, not only did the scholars present be speechless, but also made the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom sweat when they heard it.

This kind of future may be a bit alarmist, but there are no fools present, and the sentence 'the people take food as the sky' is really incisive.

Even if the people of the Song Kingdom grit their teeth and survive this disaster, next time, next time they continue to suffer from the disaster, sooner or later they will not be able to bear it!

Not because the Song dynasty was corrupt, but because they had to rob the rich and noble of the grain, otherwise they would not be able to live.

The scholars present were asked that they couldn't say a word, and they really wanted to be brought into that important position to make far-reaching decisions, but they only felt so much pressure that their thinking began to knot.

In embarrassment, the scholar could only ask as if he was dying: "Then according to your meaning, are you in favor of digging your own dam and exchanging the lives of a few people for the lives of the majority?"

Su Li just smiled lightly and did not respond, but continued to write on his paintings......

At a certain turning point in the river, he suddenly drew a gap.

Immediately, the vast water potential rushed down, forming a land in a low-lying area in the north of the river.

Then Su Licai said in a warm voice: "When digging the embankment in advance to discharge the flood becomes an inevitable choice, then the next thing that must be discussed is the location of the embankment. How can we minimize losses, and even how can we benefit the country and the people? ”

"Most of the tributaries of the mother river in the Song Dynasty are on the south bank, so there are many fertile fields on the south bank and barren land on the north bank. ”

"In addition, most of the north bank lacks water for irrigation, and there are often major droughts in addition to major floods, so it can be said that most of the poor farms here are poor farmland. ”

"Flooding here can minimize the damage to the Song Kingdom. ”

"As for your concerns, it can be completely solved, send soldiers to relocate the farmers in advance and give sufficient compensation, and the work will not be too great if the land is sparsely populated. ”

At this point, the ministers of the Song Kingdom looked at each other, and they already felt the gap between themselves and the others and Su Li.

They were still hesitating to release the flood in advance, but Su Li had already thought about what to do after the flood was discharged...... The question that was originally stressful and difficult to decide in their hearts became a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning here in Su Li.

On the one hand, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom are accustomed to being comfortable and rarely make such a major decision, and on the other hand, it is also Su Li's wisdom in the world.

But this is not over, so I listened to Su Li continue: "When I traveled through the previous time, I found that this is a low-lying area of more than one million hectares, maybe we can abandon these inferior fields and simply take this flood as an opportunity to turn it into a new land of water. ”

"There are few water veins on the north bank of the mother river, and with this piece of Daze, most of the bad fields on the north bank can become fertile land in less than three years. ”

And with this piece of Daze, it stores water when it is waterlogged, supplemented by the method of binding water and flushing silt. I dare not say that there is no shortage of drought and flood in the Song Kingdom within a hundred years. ”

The audience was silent for a moment, but this time everyone was not worried about the flood of the mother river, but was purely shocked by Su Li's talent.

Because what everyone asks and thinks about is this year's floods, and they are all now. However, Su Li took advantage of this year's floods to set a hundred-year plan!

What is a prosperous country in a word, everyone finally has a clear understanding.

If the mother river really no longer floods in the past 100 years, then the people of the Song Kingdom should be prosperous for more than three generations?

At this moment, the scholar who originally came to trouble Su Li was speechless and ashamed...... Su Li's rude behavior in their eyes had now turned into the arrogance of a great talent, and many scholars looked at Su Li with a look of longing......

The Gongye Siming on the second floor was even more eyes about to 'burst out of the stars', and he was even more deeply touched by watching Su Li paint under the command from above, as if he was fascinated by the feeling of using heaven and earth as a chessboard in his gestures.

Then Gongye Dazai, who was on the third floor, suddenly said respectfully: "Mr. is a peerless national soldier, and I, the monarch of the Song Kingdom, am willing to invite Mr. into the court with the highest courtesy." Under the king, any official position can be chosen by the gentleman!"

What an eagerness to solicit this? It can be said that it is desperate.

But it is also understandable, after all, Su Li just set the tone for the Song Kingdom in a short period of time.

Is it just that Su Li will agree?

Apparently impossible.

He just shook his head and looked at it, then took his pet and his servant and turned to leave the restaurant.

Now that I've tasted it, it's time to join the so-called Righteous Path Alliance...... Visually to fight, he had to think of a 'Sword Sect's posture', and he had to be worthy of the sect master's thousands of instructions before going out.

......

There was silence in the building, and no one could be happy about the departure of such a great talent.

But then the picture of the mother river drawn by Su Li suddenly became a treasure in everyone's hearts...... Because not to mention the painting skills of this picture, it truly shows Su Li's entire strategy for governing the river!

After Su Li left, it naturally fell into the hands of the monarch of the Song State who had never shown up. Then the king ordered it to be carefully framed and hung in his study...... The people of the Song Kingdom seem to want to regard this picture as an heirloom.
