Datang: Father, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 41 What's On Your Mind

This is a routine report.

Summer is here, and the number of rainstorms will increase. The flood of the Yellow River is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of everyone along the coast.

It is also a sharp sword hanging over the entire court of the Tang Dynasty.

Harnessing the Yellow River is an eternal proposition of all dynasties and dynasties. The flood of the Yellow River will happen once every five or six years on average, but the luck of Datang is not bad.

It has been almost ten years, and the Yellow River has not yet flooded.

But this is more worthy of vigilance, maybe the flood is coming at any time!
Liu Jie held an elephant wat and talked eloquently.

He spoke in great detail, needless to say about his business ability, but the more Li Shimin listened to it, the tighter his eyes became!

This old boy, between the lines, every tone is clearly emphasizing the same thing——
Bring money!
"Your Majesty, the dams and sluices in Qinzhou, Jinzhou, Bianzhou, and Luoyang all need to be strengthened, and funding for repairs is imperative." Liu Jie bowed his hands.

Li Shimin asked hesitantly, "How much does it cost to build the dam and sluice?"

"I would like to inform Your Majesty that there are six places that need to be repaired, and four places that need to be newly built. At least fifty thousand guan will be needed."

Li Shimin's face turned black!

I really don't know how expensive firewood is!
One by one, the opening is tens of thousands of guan, tens of thousands of guan.

When the money in this treasury is blown by the strong wind!

At this time, Dai Zhou stood up and said something for Li Shimin.

"Liu Shilang, the military expenses in the north have not been paid, and the current state treasury may not be able to provide that much money."

Liu Ji said lightly, "Your Majesty and Dai Shangshu must think of a way to do this. Once the Yellow River breaks its embankment, I don't know how many people will die. The disaster caused is unbearable for the common people!"

Li Shimin pounded the table angrily!
All of them, except asking for money, don't care about the rest.

When will he be able to relax like this? !

Money, money, in the final analysis, is a word of money! !
Get the cotton plan from Li Zhi, but it will definitely not be useful in a short time!
"Treating the Yellow River, this is too difficult..."

Li Zhi thought about it with his current knowledge reserves, but he couldn't come up with any effective solution.

This is not a problem that could be solved in ancient times.

However, although a radical cure is not possible, it is still possible to keep the Yellow River flood within a controllable range.

At this moment, a person first stood up in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have a trick. Not only can I completely subdue the evil dragon in the Yellow River, but I can also turn this evil dragon into our own use!"

The man opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

All the ministers were surprised, who would dare to boast of such a Haikou? !
Li Zhi also looked over, and saw that this man was wearing a red robe and had a very young face.

All the ministers said, "It turns out that it is Li Yifu, the supervisory censor, who has become a hot newcomer recently."

"Li Yifu, what clever plan do you have, dare to say such big words?"

"To subdue the dragon in the water completely?"

"I'm afraid there is no such way."

A group of generals don't like this kind of polite talk very much, and they are also very concerned about the management of the Yellow River.

"What's your plan, tell me quickly!" Cheng Yaojin asked directly in a loud voice.

When Li Zhi in the hall heard that it was Li Yifu, he gave up hope!

This person is famous in history, a traitor!
Oral talk is hype, no actual action!

But he still wanted to hear what Li Yifu could say.

Li Yifu tidied up his appearance, and said quickly and calmly, "As we all know, flood control is worse than blockage. How to unblock the water system of the Yellow River is the most important thing..."

Cheng Yaojin shouted again, "Don't talk nonsense, what is the way to unblock it?"

Li Yifu looked over in shame and indignation, Mr. Lu, why are you so enthusiastic about governing the Yellow River? !
He immediately said in a low voice, "Just mobilize the local people, dig canals along the waterfront to divert water, and build reservoirs!

In this way, both the benefit of irrigation and the beauty of water diversion are obtained, and the built reservoir can supply water in drought seasons, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone! "

His tone became even more excited, "Once the project is successful, the entire bank of the Yellow River will become a rich field, and the grain production will increase countless times!"

As soon as Li Yifu finished speaking, Li Zhi rolled his eyes!

Whimsical, typical paper talker!

This Li Yi's mansion keeps on governing the Yellow River, but he has to say whether he has been close to the Yellow River or not!
With such a huge amount of sediment in the Yellow River, within three years of the ditches you dug, ten ditches can block nine ditches!

However, Li Yifu's suggestion really made the atmosphere in the hall warmer for a while!
Many officials fantasize... If Li Yifu can really do what Li Yifu said, it will indeed be a grand sight!

Both sides of the Yellow River will become the most affluent areas in China!
Li Shimin asked Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, "Is there room for implementation of what Li Yifu said?"

Duan Lun pondered, "This matter...the project is too big! It may be effective...but the project volume is definitely several Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canals. Please think again, Your Majesty."

When it comes to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Li Shimin has to be cautious!
Because the lesson of the fall of the previous dynasty is right in front of you.

This kind of giant project sounds wonderful, but if you don’t have to touch it, you definitely don’t want to touch it!
However, Li Yifu's enthusiasm was so high at this time, he couldn't help but take three steps forward!
"Your Majesty! Although this project is huge, the rewards are equally astonishing!
The Yellow River can definitely rule forever! ! "

"What, Yongzhi Yellow River?!"

Li Shimin was moved again!
This temptation is amazing!
Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Yellow River has never been conquered,

If this angry dragon can be completely wiped out in his hands... Ah, such a feat is enough to shine through the ages!

Seeing that His Majesty was loose, Li Yifu even said while the iron was hot,

"Although a large number of migrant workers need to be requisitioned, these migrant workers do not need to leave their hometowns. They complete their work in various places and share it. The amount of work is actually not as amazing as imagined."

"Your Majesty, this unprecedented achievement is destined to be picked by you!"

"Well, it makes sense..."

Li Shimin couldn't stand Li Yifu's seductive tone, so he nodded thoughtfully.

Down below, although Fang Xuanling and other ministers felt that something was weird, they seemed to be unable to find any thorns in what they had to say...

"Then... this matter, can it be put on the agenda?"

Li Yifu asked probing questions, his heart was covered with ecstasy!
It was only now that he ascended to the Tai Chi Hall, and made such a magnificent contribution.

The boundless future is beckoning to him!
And once the Yellow River is managed successfully, the name of his Li Yifu will surely be passed down in history along with this feat!

'Haha, I, Li Yifu, are indeed a man of destiny.

My background can't limit me at all!
I, Li Yifu, are destined to flourish, to become a prince and a prime minister! '

"No, no one raised any objections?"

At this moment, Li Zhitian really blinked and spoke.

"How can there be any great achievements that have to wait for people to pick them up later!"

After listening to it for so long, he wanted to see how much the Tang court officials knew about governing the Yellow River.

As a result... to this extent?

They really want to implement Li Yifu's method, and this will cause a second world chaos!
Li Yifu's face immediately turned red, and his ears were completely red.
