The story of the return of the prince of Jaisan Nezan was told until dawn the next day, and he drank so much wine during the story that he could not bear it anymore and fell into a deep sleep. After listening to it all night, Shang Jiezan Neizan and Yoru magnates were still unsatisfied, so they could only disperse the banquet and rest separately.

Because Jia Xu and Wang Mang were the supporting roles in this period of ups and downs in the prince's return to China, they were not only accepted by the noble ministers, but also made Shang Jiezan and Neizan put their hearts in their hearts and became ministers. Everyone was conquered by the magical story of Jaisangzan Nezan, believing that Jia Xu and Wang Mang were inspired by the Mandate of Heaven and destined to become the heroes of Jesanzan Nezan's successful escape from Shazhou and the land of Yoru.

Shang Jiezan Neizan immediately appointed Jia Xu and Wang Mang as national teachers to assist him in governing Yoru. Jia Xu and Wang Mang naturally took the lead, happily accepted the order, and stayed in Zedang Palace.

A few days later, the story of the prince's return to the country, which had taken Jaysang Zannezan to rap for nearly a day, had been spread throughout the Yoru region by the courtiers and powerful ministers of the Zedang court.

In the past few months, the entire Xihu Empire has been shrouded in the gloomy mist of the defeat of the Zhangye River and the recovery of the eleven states of Hexi by the Tang Dynasty. The people in the empire didn't think it was a big deal, but the powerful slave owners of the various ministries were as uncomfortable as if the sky had fallen, and they sighed and complained about each other every day.

Now, Jaisan Zannezan has not only fled back to the land of Yoru, but also brought back the proudest desert god of war of the Tang people, the camel cart. This is tantamount to stealing back a cluster of sacred flames for the Xihu Empire to resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty, giving the owner precious hope. And his story is also regarded by these Xihu relatives and nobles as a spiritual anesthetic for the re-emergence of Xihu, and they will compete to praise it every day, so as to forget the tragic past when Xihu was defeated by the Tang Dynasty and annihilated.

Shang Jiezan Neizan relied on spreading the story of his son, won the worship and envy of a large group of powerful people from various Xihu tribes, and invisibly even gained a lot of support both openly and secretly, and many people even knocked on him, thinking that he was qualified to inherit the supreme position of King Zampu.

This made him particularly elated, and he faintly had a sense of glory in unifying all the Xihu tribes.

But this joy did not last long. Soon, the news of the recovery of the old king of Zampu spread throughout the Xihu tribes, and at the same time, the disciples of Master Wanzang led the Buddhist soldiers to run to the various departments, informing the Tang soldiers of the news that the southern expedition was about to be carried out next year, so that the heads of the departments immediately reorganized their armies for war.

Shang Jiezan Neizan felt the seriousness of the problem, and couldn't help but call his son Jiesang and the two national teachers to discuss countermeasures against the Tang soldiers.

"Father, the child is about to tell you about it. When Jiesang Zannezan heard that the Tang soldiers were coming, he was not surprised but rejoiced, and said triumphantly, "Before our two national teachers fled, they had already set a plan for the children to resist the Tang soldiers. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Shang Jiezan was overjoyed, and hurriedly looked at Jia Xu and Wang Mang.

Jia Xu bowed respectfully, and repeated in detail the plan of Tuntian that he had already told Jiesang Zannezan about Tuntian. Jaysanzanezan listened and actively added to show that the idea was actually half of his idea.

Shang Jiezan nodded again and again when he heard this, and his eyebrows were happy. Jia Xu and Wang Mang glanced at each other, and they were both convinced by Lei Changye's grasp of human nature.

If this plan is put forward dryly, there is no foreshadowing and foiling of the prince's return to the country at all, and it is likely that it will not be accepted so much by Shang Jiezan Neizan. In this case, their follow-up plan to contribute pictures will not be possible.

"My tribe, Gui Dongdai, fights with people, and always only brings a few days' rations, and the rest is all obtained by plundering places. Now that he is confronting Tang Bing on his own land, he will not be able to hold on to it at all according to the previous method. It can only be practiced in the art of tuntian. However, the acres of land in Yoru have been harvested by drought this year, and if there is another disaster next year, the grain harvested will not be enough for the New Year, how can we cope with the consumption of the confrontation with the Tang army?" Shang Jiezan said sadly.

"Father, don't worry, these two national teachers who saved my birth are really the talents of the Tang Dynasty. They will have a way. Jaisan Zanezan said in a hurry.

"You two, do you have a good plan?" Shang Jiezan asked quickly.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty will raise troops at the end of summer next year, if the royal court does not send people to stop it, it will probably reach the Yalong Valley after the autumn. They have enough soldiers and food, and the only thing that will reduce them is the miasma moat on the plateau. But trying to poison them is not a matter of time. We, the soldiers of Joru, must be able to hold the forts of the various places, and must not let them enter the city until they become ill. Jia Xu said.

"That's right, I have seen with my own eyes, Tang Bing's rice fields are like a godsend, one acre of land can lay fifteen stones of rice, which is not trivial. Jaisan said immediately.

"It's going to take until Tang Bing gets sick, it's protracted. I'm afraid that if we can't wait for Tang Bing to fall ill, our own soldiers will starve to death. Shang Jiezan Neizan said with a bitter face.

"It's okay, your majesty, this Wang craftsman is ......" Jia Xu began to tout Wang Mang's identity according to the plan.

Unexpectedly, Jaisangzan Nezan suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, this Wang Jiangzao is the savior given by God to my clan. He was a master craftsman who designed camel carts. The camel cart army composed of this camel cart is known as the desert god of war, and once wiped out the hundreds of thousands of troops of the old king of Zampu. Now that he has been recovered by me, it is Heaven who has given us the keys to victory. ”

Jia Xu and Wang Mang admired Lei Changye more and more in their hearts. After this brainwashing, he has become a three-in-one wizard who can tell stories, draw pies, and brag about the skin. Getting him is equivalent to getting Yoru.

"Wang Guoshi, although you are the holy hand blessed by the gods, the land yield in my Yoru area is no more than one acre of land and nine buckets of millet, I am afraid that it is not comparable to the fields of the Tang Dynasty. Shang Jiezan Neizan said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, I have visited the land of Yoru in the past few days, and the land of Yoru is close to the Yalong River, with abundant water, which is very suitable for agricultural irrigation. If we can build a unique water conservancy project in Datang to strengthen irrigation, we can increase the yield per mu by about one stone, I have calculated the area of Yoru's fields, if you can reclaim some terraces on the mountains and connect them with artificial canals, by next year, Yoru's grain yield can be increased to about five times the original amount. Wang Mang said in a deep voice.

"Really!?" Shang Jiezan Nezan and Jaisan Zannezan jumped up at the same time. Originally, the various departments of the Xihu Empire were due to frequent natural disasters and lack of food, so they had been following the old king of Zampu to fight everywhere to support the war. If the land of Yoru increases fivefold, what kind of war will there be, and will it not be good to eat and drink spicy food at home?

Shang Jiezan Neizan even thought further, if he could have five times the amount of food in stock, he didn't need to support the royal court at all, as long as he let the royal court consume the Tang soldiers and defend the land of Yoru by himself. Even if the Tang soldiers were powerful and defeated the royal court, when he arrived in the land of Yoru, he could still rely on the storage of grain and the death of the Tang soldiers, until they all got the miasma disease, and when the time came, these Tang soldiers would inevitably collapse at the first touch.

Tang soldiers retreated, and he led the army to recover the royal court, so wouldn't he be the heir to the throne?

"Wang Guoshi, what should you do about the Datang Water Conservancy Project?" Shang Jiezan asked quickly.

"In the past few days, I have drawn a plan for the construction of water conservancy for the king, which is the most proud design I have been designing over the years, and I invite the king to taste it. Wang Mang took out the ditch opening diagram he had drawn long ago from his sleeve and spread it out to Shang Jiezan Neizan.

Shang Jiezan Nezan and Jaisan Nezan leaned over to look at the diagram together. Although they couldn't understand the Chinese characters written by Wang Mang on the map, they were very familiar with the terrain of the Yalong River Valley, and they recognized it at a glance on the map.

And the diagram of the opening of the canal drawn by Wang Mang is also based on the sand table in the Yoru area made by Lei Changye. The sand table of Lei Changye is taken from the terrain of the Youru area in the Xianyin Map, which is very close to the real terrain. Therefore, the marks of the fields in the valleys of the Yoru mountains and rivers on Wang Mang's canal opening map are extremely accurate. Shang Jiezan Neizan, father and son, both felt very familiar with it, and they could quickly see the trend and scale of this artificial heavenly river through the map.

"It's a huge project. Shang Jiezan said in surprise.

"It looks like it takes a lot of manpower and material resources. Jaisan Zannezan also said with deep sympathy.

Wang Mang and Jia Xu cleared their throats at the same time, and were ready to use clever words and fancy persuasion to persuade Shang Jiezan to praise Neizan.

This is where the biggest flaw of their ditch opening plan lies. At first glance, the manpower and material resources required for this artificial Tianhe in Wang Mang far exceeded the affordability of the Yoru region. In fact, his canal plan really requires ten times more manpower and material resources than it seems.

This is also the reason why Jia Xu desperately opposes the use of this canal opening map, because it is too difficult and almost impossible to persuade Yoru's magnates to build such a large project.

"Hey, hey, I'm worried that those damn thieves have nothing to do in autumn and winter, and they are chewing their tongues there all day long, gathering people to make trouble. Now that they have this diagram, they probably don't have time to gossip about us anymore. Shang Jiezan sneezed and said coldly.

"Exactly. Father, Yong Dongdai in the tribe has been stirring up recently, restless. These cheap slaves must not let them be idle, and once they are idle, they will inevitably cause trouble. It's better to let them all go to work, and if they don't die every day, they will die. Jaysang said with a smile.

"National teacher, you are really worthy of being the savior that God has given me Joru. This ditch plan is exactly what I need the most. As long as this artificial heavenly river is built, my Yalong River Valley will be the golden land of Xihude. And I, Shang Jiezan, will inevitably be like the ancestors, unify Xihu again and become the Great Zanpu. Shang Jiezan looked up to the sky and laughed.

Jia Xu and Wang Mang were speechless for a while. Although they are not compassionate characters, and they have no higher feelings than others for the natives of the Tang Dynasty, they are still stunned by the words of the powerful father and son of Yoru.

Is there such a thing in this world that does not treat people as human beings?
