Dressed as Wu Dalang, starting at 1.9 meters

"Your Majesty is very grateful to the minister for his important use. Rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely devote himself to death."

Wu Tian helped Guan Sheng up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Guan, you don't have to. Brother Tang Long has already developed thousands of red-clothed cannons and hundreds of howitzers. I will leave them all to you. You lead an army of 20 to practice well, and when you are familiar with all the drills, you will be the vanguard and lead an army of 20 as the vanguard, and I will lead the remaining army of 40 as the rear to attack Xixia."

"Yes!"

In a blink of an eye, autumn arrived.

It has been three months since Wu Tian came to Liangcheng, and the layout and construction here are almost perfect, which is good enough for the duties of the capital of a country.

The only thing that worries Wu Tian is the flood and the establishment of the navy.

Wu Tian found Wu Yong, and the two drank in the back garden of the palace.

After drinking for three rounds, Wu Tian said directly: "Grand Master, I came to you for two reasons. One is about the flood. We moved the capital, so we can temporarily avoid the flood. But this is not a long-term solution. There are fertile fields around the city of Tokyo, if we can control the flooding well and divert the water to the farmland for irrigation, we will surely have a bumper harvest in the city of Tokyo, and with the help of super rice, the harvested grain will be enough for the Liang Kingdom for three years."

Wu Yong nodded and said: "Your Majesty's thoughts, I have also thought about it. Recently, I have been looking for experts who can save the floods. Until yesterday, I heard that Li Bing, the prefect of Shu, is an expert in water conservancy. He supervised the construction of Dujiangyan, which used flood irrigation. The Qianli Plain in Chengdu. The land of Shu has a great harvest, and the food obtained is enough for the people of Shu to feed for two years. In addition, the threat of floods to Shu is also solved."

Hearing this, Wu Tian's eyeballs lit up immediately, and he said with a smile: "Since there is such a powerful person, the Grand Master should have brought him long ago and introduced him to me."

Wu Yongdao: "The minister has ordered him to come to Youzhou City, and it is estimated that he should arrive today."

Just as he was talking, a eunuch came in, cupped his hands towards Wu Tian, ​​and said: "Your Majesty, there is a man named Li Bing outside the palace, who said that the grand master invited him to come."

When Wu Tian heard that Li Bing had come, he was very happy, and said to the eunuch: "Li Bing is my guest, please come in."

The eunuch went out and led a middle-aged man in after a while.

"Your Majesty Li Bing, I have seen His Majesty and Grand Master."

Li Bing stood and cupped his hands instead of kneeling.

Wu Tian didn't mind, pointing to an empty seat, he said to Li Bing: "Li Aiqing, you've worked hard all the way. Sit down, have a drink with me, and talk about the new water conservancy project by the way."

Li Bing bowed his hand to Wu Tian: "I'm just a small official in Shu, how dare I sit with your majesty and grand master, I'd better stand and talk."

Wu Tian smiled, and said: "In my eyes, as long as you can do things that are beneficial to Liang Guo, you are my guest, and it has nothing to do with your official status."

Li Bing hesitated, and Wu Yong interjected, "Your Majesty has already said so, you can sit down. Sitting is also convenient for talking to us."

Seeing that Wu Yong had said that, Li Bing stopped insisting, and after bowing his hands to the two of them, he sat down.

"I heard that Li Aiqing built Dujiangyan in the middle of Sichuan, which ensured a thousand miles of harvest in the Chengdu Plain and relieved the floods. Tokyo City, Luoyang City and Chang'an City all had floods. I want Aiqing to find a way to deal with these three floods. Firstly, it can protect the safety of these accompanying capitals, and secondly, it can take the opportunity to develop the agriculture around these accompanying capitals, develop the economy, and enhance the strength of Liang Guo."

Wu Tian said bluntly.

Li Bing bowed his hands to Wu Tian and said: "Your Majesty's benevolence, I can understand. But I dare not promise you that you will be able to relieve the flood of the three capitals. Because the terrain and water level of the three capitals are different, the situation Different, so the corresponding treatment methods are different. In addition, to deal with floods, it should not be blocked, but should be dredged. Only reasonable dredging, water will not accumulate together, and floods will not form. The last point is to repair the river. The manpower and financial resources required are not simple. At that time, the minister spent nearly 10 manpower and millions of dollars in food and money just to build Dujiangyan in central Sichuan. The construction of the three accompanying capitals may consume far more than Dujiangyan."

Wu Tian pondered for a while, then nodded.

"You don't need to worry about manpower and money, Li Aiqing. Money can be dispatched from the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Lingnan regions on the spot. As for manpower, the Central Plains and Guanzhong regions can be mobilized. The population of the Central Plains and Guanzhong are no less than One million. The population of these two places can be at the disposal of Aiqing."

Hearing this, Li Bing nodded.

"If this is the case, I have the confidence to deal with the floods in these three capitals."

"Since Aiqing agrees to accept this matter, I will now designate you, Aiqing, as the governor of the river, and concurrently as the admiral of the river. You are responsible for all the governance of the river. If someone blocks it, you will kill it first and then act."

Wu Tian ordered with a serious face.

Li Bing was very grateful, knelt in front of Wu Tian and cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to control the flood."

Chapter 414

After the flood problem was settled, Wu Tian continued to ask Li Bing.

"Li Aiqing is proficient in water conservancy. I don't know if I know a general who is good at water warfare?"

Li Bing looked at Wu Tian in puzzlement.

Wu Tian looked at his expression, smiled slightly, and said: "Let me tell you the truth, Liang Guo's army is invincible on land, but if it is to fight at sea, it is indeed seriously lacking in this aspect. And Wa Kingdom, which is located on the opposite bank of the Koryo region, Although they are driven back to their hometown by us now, they will never give up and will make a comeback one day. If they want to attack our country of Liang, they can only attack from the sea."

"I asked this question just in case. If Aiqing knows, you can tell me. If the person you recommend is really talented and learned, I will definitely reward you. In addition, you will be promoted to a noble It will be all right."

Hearing Wu Tian's words, Li Bing stood up, bowed his hands to him, and said, "Your Majesty is taking precautions against the future. I admire you very much. I know a general who is good at water warfare. His name is Li Shilang. People from the south of the Yangtze River now live in Fuzhou, as the prefect of Fuzhou. If Your Majesty can recruit all of them and put them to good use, I can assure you that our Liang Guo Navy will become even stronger."

Hearing Li Bing's praise of Li Shilang, Wu Tian immediately became interested.

"Okay, since Li Aiqing recommended this Li Shilang so much, I will let him come to Youzhou City to take charge of the navy and be responsible for training Liang Guo's navy."

"In this way, Liang Guo will definitely be more prosperous."

On the same day, Wu Tian issued an imperial edict ordering Li Shilang, the magistrate of Fuzhou County, to go to Youzhou.

Li Shilang won the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty, but was relegated to the Fuzhou county magistrate because he was rejected by Cai Jing and Gao Qiu.

In Fuzhou, he has been observing hydrology and reading military books.

When the Japanese invaded from the sea, he once replaced the then General Zhenhai and led [-] Fuzhou soldiers to fight the Japanese at sea.

He defeated more than 100 Japanese people and burned more than [-] warships.

This great achievement should have been rewarded.

But Emperor Song believed Cai Jing and Gao Qiu's words, saying that Li Shilang, as a county magistrate, did not manage the affairs of the county government well, but intervened in the affairs of the army by leapfrogging, which was a big taboo in the Song Dynasty.

Song Emperor listened to Cai Jing and Gao Qiu's words, not only did not reward Li Shilang, but also issued an order to punish Li Shilang.

If it hadn't been for the people of Fuzhou to jointly sign the letter, Li Shilang would have been killed already.

After this incident, Li Shilang no longer cared about the naval affairs, and focused on handling Fuzhou's government affairs.

After the Song Dynasty was replaced by Liang Guo, although Li Shilang felt that the time was coming, especially Wu Tian's performance over the years made him feel like he couldn't wait for time.

Finally, the imperial decree reached Fuzhou.

In the imperial decree, Wu Tian clearly summoned Li Shilang alone.

The county magistrate frowned slightly, looked at the eunuch who passed the decree, and said with a smile: "Eunuch, I don't know what your majesty wants to do with Li Shilang?"

The eunuch gave the county magistrate a blank look, and shouted: "Is it your job as a little county magistrate to take care of His Majesty's affairs?"

The county magistrate quickly shut up.

Li Shilang's face was calm, and he bowed his hands to the eunuch: "Eunuch, the county magistrate was just curious for a while, please don't blame me. Since Your Majesty wants me to follow Eunuch to the capital immediately, then we don't waste time, let's set off now."

The eunuch nodded: "Okay, let's go now."

Li Shilang got up and followed the eunuch and left. The county magistrate stepped forward to stop Li Shilang, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, you can't go. Judging from the attitude of the father-in-law who passed the decree just now, I am afraid that your going will be more or less ominous. Why don't you listen to this book?" According to the county magistrate, find a chance to sneak away."
