Chapter 232: How to Cure the Flood of the Mother River?

For the scholar's naΓ―ve remarks, Su Li smiled dumbly. He suddenly became interested in playing with these people......

"Shopkeeper, put together a long table for me. Su Li said.

This shopkeeper just knew what Su Li was going to do as soon as he heard it, and he was very surprised, didn't he expect that this young man who likes to read books also likes to play this book's set?

The shopkeeper is very familiar with the operation, and the two square tables are spliced together to form a long table...... When the scholars gathered here, they often shared the table to paint or write poems.

Later, the signal was given, and he immediately nodded in amusement, and then spread out a piece of rice paper on the long table that had been put together......

Su Li took out his pen and ink and stood still in front of the table, and then said: "Then I will give you a question, which is a question that 'Holy King Liangzuo, the parents of all peoples' have to encounter every year, and you will try to answer it." ”

As he spoke, Su Li had already waved his pen...... Between the turns of the pen, two long lines of twists and turns have been drawn on the rice paper.

Although it is only two simple strokes, it already gives people the feeling of a strong trend...... Many scholars present immediately tightened their hearts, knowing that the person in front of them could not be underestimated.

At this time, there were many onlookers on the second and even third floors of the restaurant, and many distinguished guests in the box came out to watch this scene curiously.

One of the richly dressed middle-aged men looked at the left and right playfully and said, "This exam question is related to you, why don't you guess what this young man drew first?"

Next to him was a group of middle-aged people with different atmospheres, all of whom looked like they had been in high positions for a long time, but at this time they were all interested in the 'game' between the 'foreign children' and the native cold warriors below.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but it's hard to tell the difference between the two subordinates. A man over half a hundred years old replied with a smile.

But at this moment, below them, the delicate young man who had come out to see the excitement had already shouted: "I know, this is the section of the mother river west of the mound!"

Su Li looked up unexpectedly, but saw that this young nobleman was looking at him excitedly, as if he was a good student who had answered a question, waiting for the teacher's praise.

Then he smiled slightly and did not say a word, but reached out and turned the pen in the brush, and then quickly raised it and shook it at the scroll......

The water that still had the ink rhyme was picked up and sprinkled by him, and then fell rhythmically on the scroll like a water dragon.

The water-melted ink spreads out on the scroll, faint in some places and dark in others, and becomes not so uniform.

But it really looks like the raging waters of a great river......

"I got it right, it's really the mother river!"

The group of people who were originally watching on the third floor all had solemn expressions on their faces, and they obviously didn't expect Su Li to really have a big problem that only people who were high in the temple could know the difficulty.

"That young man is very clever, and more importantly, he is very familiar with the geography of my Song Kingdom, which family is it?" The middle-aged man led by him noticed the solemnity around him, but suddenly asked the young man who rushed to answer.

At this time, the old man who was over half a hundred years old next to him bowed slightly and said, "This is the grandson of the old minister, which makes the lord smile." ”

"It turned out to be a child of the Dazai family, so it's no wonder that I have this vision. The middle-aged man smiled, then continued to look down...... At this time, he roughly understood how Su Li was going to solve the problem.

In fact, the guests in the box on the third floor already have some understanding in their hearts, and they also want to know if they can get any different answers here.

Downstairs, Su Li has already begun to ask the question: "The mother river of Dongzhou, with countless tributaries, irrigating hundreds of millions of trillions of fertile fields, is the origin of our Dongzhou humanity." ”

"But now when I travel to the Song Dynasty, I find that the course of the Mother River along the way is starting to get narrower. ”

"Although the embankments on both sides are in order, the river level is already higher than the farmland next to it. ”

"In my opinion, this section of the mother river is probably flooded every time it rains heavily...... That's why my question is: How to control the mother river?"

"This ......"

The scholar only felt that his scalp was numb, and this kind of problem was completely different from what he imagined!

"What is your problem? As I have already said, what I want to do is to assist the Holy Monarch in creating a prosperous world, not such a trivial matter of drought and flood. ”

"Puff~"

At this moment, the young nobleman upstairs laughed again, and he said: "If this is not a major national event, then there is no major event in this Song Kingdom!"

"Who are you?!" the scholar raised his head and scolded him with great dissatisfaction, don't force him to scare the heavens and the earth!

The young nobleman didn't hide it, but just smiled: "Dazai's grandson, Gongye Siming is also." ”

"Scholar, you don't have to be in a hurry to talk nonsense, I can tell you very clearly that my grandfather and those uncles and uncles have been discussing the upcoming flood season since last month. ”

After hearing this, Su Li also continued to answer: "The land of the Song Kingdom is fertile and rich in products, in fact, as long as the mother river can be managed well, the family and country will not have to worry about it. ”

"So don't underestimate this way of governing the river, this is the key to the prosperity of the Song Kingdom. ”

The scholar's square inch has been messed up, he is used to the wind and snow, and originally thought that the way of governing the country is the same as his wind and snow moon and poetry, as long as a group of people listen to his orders.

But now, when a real problem comes to him, he doesn't know what to do.

"What's so difficult about this, it's just a matter of raising the dike. As long as the imperial court allocates funds and the people use their lives, there will naturally be no major floods. The scholar finished speaking in a hurry, and then he was very complacent, thinking that this question did not stump him.

Su Li's face didn't change at all, but before he could answer, the young noble Gongye Siming on the second floor had already preemptively asked, "I don't know what Your Excellency thinks, what about the third duke of the court?"

The scholar looked up proudly and smiled, "It's just a bunch of fools!"

Very well, this is usually the rhetoric he and his companions say when they talk about the world (bragging), and they take it out unconsciously.

The faces of the group on the third floor were a little ugly.

The middle-aged man at the head laughed and said, "If the people who are used to govern the country are stupid things, then what are the widows?"

I'm afraid this is the monarch and minister of the Song Kingdom here!

The old Dazai of Gongye said indifferently: "The Lord has invited us to many banquets here, and I am afraid that I have heard a lot of such remarks. ”

This can be regarded as a kind of dark spit. How could a normal monarch entertain his ministers in such a place? Isn't that a bad taste?

"That's interesting, isn't it? I just want to see if there are any people who understand it now. The monarch of the Song Kingdom was unimpressed.

"I don't know where that stranger came from, and if he can be used by me?"

actually fell in love with Su Li.

"Your Majesty, that person should be a monk, and his background is probably extraordinary. At this time, a person next to the monarch of the Song Kingdom interjected coldly.

"Monks, yes, it's true that monks have gathered recently to discuss what 'demon extermination' matters...... That's it, that's it. The monarch was immediately in a state of flux.

It seems that the Song Dynasty has been protected by righteous monks and has become accustomed to their existence, and understands that monks, especially monks with great backgrounds, cannot be used by them.

Looking at the scene again, Gongye Dazai's grandson Gongye Siming laughed twice and said: "You are stupid to be the third prince, but the strategy you proposed to govern the river is the method that the third prince has been implementing all along!"

The scholar's face turned red, and then he said strongly: "But this is the way to control the river, is there any other strategy besides diligent repair of the embankment?"

"You're right, that's why my grandfather and Sangong are so troubled. Gongye Siming turned to Su Li with bright eyes: "So this gentleman, if there is a wonderful method, can you tell me?"
