Chapter 378 Grand Canal Excavation Plan

In short, the Grand Canal has many benefits, but the cost is equally huge, not to mention this long-term project, it is enough to fill in Fengji, but it is a pity that Fengji has his own ideas and does not want to waste time in this project.

However, Lu Su didn’t say anything. He couldn’t rush for things like water conservancy projects. Feng Ji was willing to spend money and let him open it. Anyway, it was preparatory work.

Everyone in the Council of State Affairs can see the benefits of the Grand Canal, but the workload of this magnificent project is huge, and it is impossible to complete it in a few decades.

Emperor Yang of Sui used more than two million people to dig through the Grand Canal. For this reason, he directly lost the country, which shows the extent of his labor and money.

The most important thing is that the Grand Canal mentioned by Chen Xi and others is not only the Grand Canal that was dug in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but was excavated in the Spring and Autumn Period and completed in the Sui Dynasty. Grand Canal.

The entire Grand Canal project can be described as frenzied. Even a wise man with spiritual talent like Feng Ji would not dare to fall into this easily. This is a major project that has been completely recorded in the annals of history, and there are no more than a dozen Feng Ji like this. It’s impossible for the wise men to sacrifice to the sky.

Even if everyone in the government affairs office is filled in, they may not really be able to repair it.

The Grand Canal in history has lasted for as many as 1779. Even if there are a series of causes such as wars and desolation, it is an indisputable fact that it takes a lot of time.

“Who is in charge of Zheng Guoqu and Liufuqu in Chang’an now?” Chen Xi suddenly thought of something after leaving Fengji.

He originally designed the granary construction in Hulaoguan, but then he gradually forgot too much, and he didn’t know who was in charge now.

“If I remember correctly, it should be the Li family and Wang family in Chang’an, and the Ma family in Xiliang, right?”

Lu Su recalled for a while, remembering that he seemed to have outsourced this matter to a family in Chang’an, Li Yuan and Wang Shichong, he remembered that they were still very capable.

Moreover, Ma Teng of Xiliang mobilized a large number of Qiang people to participate, which can also be regarded as finding a way for the Qiang people to survive and fundamentally cut off the root of the Qiang people’s turmoil.

After all, if you can live a good life, who would think of rebellion?

What was the Qiang people’s willingness to mix with the soldiers in Xiliang before? Food. Later, why did they follow Ma Teng’s advantage? It was still food. After these Qiangs got the food from the court, of course they would follow the court safely and steadily.

Now if anyone wants to rebel in Xiliang, these Qiangs are the first to disagree. Even if Dong Zhuo is now running back with Xiliang iron cavalry to rebel, it is really not certain who these Qiangs will listen to.

“The Li family, the Wang family…” Chen Xi stretched his tone and remembered what Jiang Wei had reported before. Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, and Liu Heitai are not good people, but now the people and the military are all in their hands. , The general trend of the entire Central Plains is in hand, even these people can’t make a big wave.

Don’t you see, Li Yuan and the others had been officials of the Sui Dynasty for a period of time during Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

“Wen You just remember to give a warning. After all, he has to give Bo Yue an explanation, by the way, hit some of the aristocratic families in Chang’an.”

Chen Xi thought for a while, and decided to take it lightly. Now he is engaged in large-scale construction. Realm, which puts these people in the construction, can squeeze more benefits.

There is no need to engage in internal friction. No matter how Li Yuan and Wang Shichong are prefects, it is no problem to govern one state and one county.

Li Ru glanced at Chen Xi and didn’t say anything. If he asked him to say it, he would directly deal with the dead hand. When the street soldiers surrounded him as a general, he was impatient, even if he had the ability, there are many capable people in the court. To go.

Li Ru also understood what Chen Xi meant. He felt that Chen Xi was too gentle. If these aristocratic families are not cruel, is it so easy to be obedient?

Lu Su raised his head and looked at Chen Xi in amazement. Chen Xi would take the initiative to let Li Ru go to Chang’an, saying that it was light, but it was Li Ru who went there lightly and lightly.

With so many people in the Office of Government Affairs, even if the iron-faced judge of Man Chong was thrown away, it would be better than letting Li Ru go?

“These aristocratic families in Chang’an are not easy, Wenyou pay more attention!” Lu Su looked at Li Ru who was dark under the lamp, and couldn’t help but speak.



Li Ru was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly reacted, “Aristocratic families in Chang’an are so powerful? Subconsciously, Zichuan feels that only I can beat these guys?”

Chen Xi didn’t realize that deep down, he was still very afraid of the Chang’an aristocratic families. The person who was sent to beat these aristocratic families was actually Li Ru subconsciously. This was one of the pinnacles of power in Luoyang, and he was notoriously cruel.

But the same sentence, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the hidden dragon like Tian Khan lurking in Chang’an, really caused a lot of psychological pressure on Chen Xi.

“That said, I suddenly thought of a family of the fourth generation and the third deity.” Li Ru subconsciously recalled the information of Chang’an, and suddenly thought of the fourth generation and the third deity’s family, which was different from the Yuan family.

“Lao Yang Family? Except for the first suppression, there is no thousand-year-old family that has been suppressed at all.”

After Li Ru connected the intelligence of the entire Chang’an, he discovered that Chang’an might indeed need him to go there in person.

Seeing Li Ru thoughtful, Lu Su didn’t say anything anymore. Li Ru himself had a good mentality. He just reminded him that Li Ru didn’t need him to worry about it.

“Master, General Yang Lin is about to return with his army. The princess will send someone to ask you what you mean, how to reward the victorious general and how to deal with the comrades in Wagangzhai?”

Lu Meng hurriedly walked from the door, holding the order he had just handed over in his hand.

Chen Xi pondered for a moment, and found that it was really not well received. Whether it was Yang Lin and others’ scapegoat status, or the disposal of General Wagang’s surrender, it was a difficult task.

“What does the general mean?” Chen Xi asked, scratching his head. Generally speaking, shouldn’t this thing ask the general, why would he come to ask him.

“The general closed the door and thanked the guest, saying that there are other things in the near future, let you handle it with full authority.” Lu Meng had a bitter face. He didn’t believe in evil and went to the general’s mansion, but he was directly lost by the guard Yulin army because he didn’t have a warrant. Came out.

“Wen Ruo, this matter is up to you!”

Chen Xi scratched his head and gave the job to Xun Yu directly. It is not a good thing to award a reward. Not only is it justified to be sealed, but it is the eldest princess and the general’s credit that it is sealed.

The most important thing is that it requires a lot of inspection work, which is simply torture for Chen Xi.

“give it to me!”

Xun Yu nodded, accepted the princess’s order, and then asked Li Ru for the military report of the Battle of Wagang.

For him from the Han Dynasty, this work is just because of his intentions, and there is no need to shirk at all.

Chen Xi, who had finished dealing with the work at hand, took Lu Xun and Lu Meng to run directly. The work he had dealt with this day was completed, and he had no interest in working overtime.

“The prime minister is like this every day?” Zhuge Liang, who was struggling with writing in the government affairs office, couldn’t help but raised his head and asked Lu Su beside him.

“It’s all a lot today. Except for emergencies, you wouldn’t be able to see him after lunch in the past.” Lu Su curled his lips involuntarily.

What a joke, Chen Xi can still work for you for a day, and seeing Chen Xi in the afternoon shows that Chen Xi has worked very hard.

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth. He actually noticed that Chen Xi did not handle less work than him, but the efficiency between the two parties was almost a galaxy, and there was even a big gap between the efficiency of his and Lu Su’s work.

Obviously everyone is one mind and two things, and they are never forgetting, why the gap between each other is so big.

“Do you know why I often work overtime?” Lu Su asked Zhuge Liang depressedly.

“Isn’t it because of Dr. Lu, you are very hardworking?” Zhuge Liang didn’t quite understand Lu Su’s meaning.

“Just call me Zijing. It’s not that I’m diligent, it’s because my government affairs have not been finished! Just like you need to work overtime to handle the work at hand, I also need it.” Lu Su’s answer choked Zhuge Liang.

“Then why can the prime minister’s government affairs be handled?” Zhuge Liang became curious.

“If I knew it, I wouldn’t work overtime here!” Lu Su squinted at Zhuge Liang, his eyes full of regret.

Li Ru said calmly as he passed by: “That’s because most of the government affairs have happened in Zichuan’s mind. Before the things happened, Zichuan thought about it in his heart, so when the government affairs arrived, he handled them directly. That’s it.”

Lu Su said without raising his head: “Zichuan does things like this. If Zichuan gets stuck one day, it will be a real big trouble.”

“Has the prime minister been upset?” Pang Tong asked curiously.

“I don’t know, I heard from the general, but I haven’t seen it!” Lu Su shook his head. When he took refuge in the court, the world was basically settled. How could he know the past.

“Report! Youzhou emergency report!” The sudden sound of the call frightened the counsellors who were immersed in government affairs with a cleverness.

After Li Ru reached out to take it, he nodded clearly.

“Youzhou victory, our three-way army and Fuyu people cooperated inside and outside, and successfully defeated the Goryeo army! In addition, General Gongsun broke Xianbei at Juyongguan and captured more than 300,000 Hus!”

The people in the government affairs office nodded without surprise. After all, the Youzhou War was caught off guard. Victory is only a matter of time.



Besides, Jia Wenhe has been sent to Youzhou, and they will be over after good news.

After everyone dispersed, Li Ru threw the report to Zhuge Liang.

“Kong Ming, go to Zichuan. He also had a plan in Youzhou before, but now the war is settled, let him watch as he is making adjustments.”

“No!” Zhuge said brightly.
