Chapter 37
Let’s first talk about Datang’s current big problem, which is really not an ordinary problem.
If all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were sent to repair the Yellow River, the river troubles would be alleviated, but the border would be empty. Those foreigners were watching eagerly. If there was a disturbance, it would be difficult to clean it up. It's troublesome. That is something that can affect the whole body. If anything goes wrong, it will be a tragedy for the country and the family.
Let’s talk about food. Thanks to Qian Dashan’s generous donation, there is a little more stock in the granary. But this small amount of food must be kept in case the Yellow River floods or dries up into riverbanks. It is the lifeblood of the people and cannot be touched. The food problem has always been a concern of the Tang Dynasty, making it difficult for people to sleep and eat well.
When it comes to regulating the Yellow River, it is really a long-standing problem that has given all the wise rulers of the past dynasties a headache. Even the most powerful craftsmen can only take care of it for two or three years. After that, it will still be the same as before, treating headaches, treating headaches, and treating feet, but the fundamental problem cannot be solved at all. The Yellow River is like a wild horse that is difficult to tame and leaves people helpless.
Emperor Li Shimin felt so mixed in his heart that he couldn't even smile bitterly. She sat on the dragon chair, her brows furrowed, and her eyes showed deep worry. She knew very well that the problem of the Yellow River was not only a problem of a river, but also a major event related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty.
"I want to pull the plug, completely solve this problem, and let the people live in peace for two years." The emperor said solemnly, with a firm determination in his voice.
"But in this matter, details determine success or failure. If we don't solve all these problems, even if the army comes to press, it will be in vain." A minister said worriedly, she knew very well that this matter of river control of difficulty.
The emperor was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and all the officials looked distressed and sighed. They all know that this river control matter is no small matter. Once it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Your Majesty, you are doing this for the Tang Dynasty and for the common people. But river control really cannot be accomplished in a day or two. It will take five or six years, or even longer, and the result is hard to say. ." An old minister earnestly advised.
"Your Majesty, please stop competing with yourself. Why should you force yourself to do something that no one before you has done?" Another minister also agreed.
"Yes, our Tang Dynasty is very prosperous now, and all the nations are coming to court, so don't worry about it." Someone else advised.
The officials tried to persuade him, but the emperor didn't listen to a word. She stood up with a burning gaze that seemed to penetrate all obstacles.
"Stop talking! I have made up my mind to control the river. I will do what I say without delay!" The emperor's voice was like thunder, roaring away all the sorrow, and his face He also smiled, and his eyes were firmer than a knife.
The officials looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all stunned. I was wondering, the problem has not been solved yet, why are you so confident all of a sudden? Isn’t this just messing around!
But before they could react, the emperor waved his sleeves and stood up, his eyes becoming more determined. She seemed to have seen the victory in the future, and the troubles of the Yellow River would be completely eradicated by her.
"That's it. We'll discuss it in detail tomorrow morning." The emperor said decisively.
"It's all over. I will come up with a way to control the river tomorrow." Her words were full of confidence, as if all difficulties had been stepped on under her feet.
No one dared to say another word with that domineering look. The officials had no choice but to disperse, and as soon as they left the palace gate, there was an explosion. They all discussed the emperor's decision. Some were worried, some were confused, and some speculated whether the emperor had been deceived by some boy.
The officials here are in panic, but over there in the Cheng Mansion, Li Qingge is having a sweet dream. She dreamed that she was standing on a harvest field, with golden rice swaying in the wind, as if to greet her. A sweet smile hung on her lips, and her heart was filled with longing for the future.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sun appeared, Li Qingge stretched and got up from the bed. She looked at the good weather outside the window and felt so beautiful in her heart. The sunlight shines on her face through the window lattice, reflecting her delicate face and her spiritual eyes.
After finishing the process of washing and eating, Li Qingge went straight to the back garden. This garden was a forbidden area in the eyes of others, but to her, it was her little world. Outsiders say there are secrets inside, and if you get too close, you will die, so the servants stay away.
But how could they know that the future of agriculture in the Tang Dynasty was hidden in this garden! Li Qingge walked into the garden and saw that it was filled with all kinds of exotic flowers, herbs, vegetables and fruits. She squatted down and carefully observed the growth of each plant, her heart filled with love and persistence for agriculture.
She stroked a green leaf, her eyes shining with wisdom. She knew that every plant in the garden was the result of her careful cultivation, and they represented the hope and future of Datang Agriculture. She believes that as long as we search and innovate with our heart, we will be able to find a solution to the Yellow River's problems and food problems.
Li Qingge has been busy in the garden all morning. She carefully takes care of each plant and records their growth and changes. Her heart is full of expectations and confidence for the future. She believes that her efforts and wisdom will bring prosperity to Datang.
Opening the door, a dazzling ray of sunshine fell, and Li Qingge's eyes suddenly lit up. A room full of treasures came into view. The green vegetables were neatly arranged, like a small, vibrant forest. Just looking at them made people feel good. . Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes, which are common crops in modern society, have become rare things in this time and space. They are all lives conceived by the precious seeds that Li Qingge brought when he traveled through time.
She continued walking to the backyard with brisk steps, and the scene there was even more shocking. It is full of vitality and greenery, as if the vitality of nature is condensed on this land. Li Qingge looked at all this, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, his eyes flashed with satisfaction, and the joy in his heart was as unstoppable as a spring.
“Great! These seeds are getting better and better. It seems that I can plant them on that thousand acres of good land first. When there are more seeds, I can expand the planting area to make this land more fertile. "She was thinking secretly in her heart, full of expectations for the future.
"God, I hope you can find more land for me soon so that I can realize my dream." Li Qingge prayed silently in her heart, her eyes full of determination and persistence.
She recalled the thousand acres of fertile land in the past, feeling like a huge treasure waiting for her to dig out. Now that there are more seeds, the land seems to be insufficient, so expanding the scale is the last word. A strong impulse surged in her heart to create more miracles in this land.
"Li Shimin, do you have any good plans recently? If so, you must leave it to me. I promise to do it beautifully for you." She whispered to herself, with a cunning light shining in her eyes, as if Already seeing the victories ahead.
"If you reward me with something, I will definitely choose 10,000 acres of fertile land. There are so many wastelands beyond the 1,000 acres, so it wouldn't be a pity to leave them alone." She sighed softly, her heart filled with joy. The desire and yearning for land.
Li Qingge shook his head and brought his thoughts back to reality. She opened the storage space of her system and summoned two powerful men from the Celestial Palace. These two warriors are tall and powerful, and are the right-hand men in the heavenly palace.
"Put all these seeds away." Li Qing's singer waved his hand, and the instructions were concise and clear.
The warriors took action immediately, and their movements were as deft as those of old farmers. Li Qingge was surprised. He didn't expect them to be so good at farm work. After a while, the seeds were all collected in the warehouse. Li Qingge waved his sleeves again, and the warriors disappeared in the light and returned to the storage space.
"It's time to sow seeds again." She whispered to herself, her eyes shining with anticipation.
"And the soil quality of the thousand acres of fertile land is already very good. Maybe we can harvest food today." Her heart was full of expectation and joy, as if she had already seen the harvest.
"The grain collected will be given to Qian Dashan, so that she can continue to do good deeds." She made up her mind, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Li Qingge rode her horse and walked leisurely through Chang'an Street. The horse has a strong posture and a steady pace, which perfectly complements her temperament. She was wearing an elegant dress, her long hair shawl, fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth. Her face is beautiful and refined, and there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, which makes people dare not look directly at her.
The people on both sides of the street cast curious glances, and they talked among themselves: "Who is this girl? She is so beautiful!" "The horse she rides is so beautiful!" I don’t know whose rich lady it is?”
Li Qingge turned a deaf ear to these comments. She just enjoyed the scenery along the way. You can have a panoramic view of the bustling scene of Chang'an Street, with numerous shops, crowded streets and bustling streets. She secretly sighed in her heart: "Although this era is backward, it still has its unique charm."
After a while, she came to the thousand acres of fertile land. This land is fertile and vast, a treasure in her heart. As soon as she pressed the button, a layer of fog formed around her, protecting the fields. This is her secret weapon to keep others from peeking into her fields.
"Huh? Are they ripe so soon?" She was surprised to find that the crops in the field were ripe, and the golden ears of wheat were heavy, as if waving to her.
"Yes, it can be harvested in one day now." She thought to herself, knowing that this was the result of soil improvement. She smiled proudly: "Tiangong Lao Niu, you are really my right-hand man!"
As she said that, she opened the storage space and saw dark clouds gathering, Tiangong Lao Niu's figure looming. It is huge, like a small hill, and exudes a majestic aura. It is a mythical beast in the heavenly palace with magical powers that can help her harvest crops.
The people in Chang'an City were shocked and surprised, and they all looked up to the sky. They saw dark clouds, lightning and thunder, but they could not see anything in the clouds. But they could all feel the majesty, as if there were gods looking down on them from the clouds. They were filled with awe and curiosity, and started talking one after another: "What's going on?" "The sky is wrong!" "Is it related to the country's fortune?"
Although they couldn't see the clouds things, but you can still feel a mysterious power shrouding the city. They all knelt down and prayed to the gods to bless them safely.
At this moment, Tiangong Lao Niu is harvesting crops and vegetables skillfully. Its movements were quick and powerful, and it quickly harvested all the crops and vegetables in the fields and filled the warehouse. Then it begins to sow new seeds in preparation for next season's harvest.
Li Qingge hid in the woods and waited for the carriage to arrive. She sat leisurely under the shade of a tree, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of nature. After a while, the carriage arrived. After the people from the escort agency and the guys transported the food away according to the rules, Li Qingge cast a spell on the carriage and let it return to the city quietly.
Everyone found it strange that food suddenly appeared, but they didn’t ask much. Just watching the carriage swaggering through the city, I was stunned. They started talking one after another: "Where does this food come from?" "I heard that there is a secret warehouse in the wilderness with a lot of food in it!" "Some people also say that Qian Dashan saved the Fox Fairy!"...Rumors Flying all over the sky, but only Li Qingge knows the truth.
At this moment, all civil and military officials gathered in front of the palace, anxiously waiting for Li Shimin's arrival. They were filled with anxiety and uneasiness, not knowing why His Majesty summoned them this time. They all speculated on the possible reasons, but they did not dare to express their opinions easily. There was silence in front of the palace, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves and the chirping of birds in the distance. They are all waiting for the arrival of the person who will decide their fate.
Now, let’s talk about what happened in the court. The faces of all the civil and military officials were tensed up, and they were worried as if they were carrying rabbits, fearing that the emperor would suddenly make some big decision that would involve them all in an unknown whirlpool.
If the emperor was really determined to control the river, the soldiers would have to go up the embankment in full gear and fight the raging river water. The difficulty is simply more difficult than fighting a tough battle, and the chance of success is pitifully small, as if you are looking for a needle in the vast sea. What makes the officials even more troubled is that if this order is issued, they officials will have to roll up their sleeves to carry bricks and soil. When they think of this, the scalps of the generals begin to feel numb, and they feel as if they have been beaten. Countless little bugs are gnawing at it.
"Where did the emperor sing this song from? It's really confusing." A minister scratched his head and said with confusion on his face.
"River management is no joke. It cannot be done in one or two years. It may not be effective in five or ten years. Isn't this a waste of effort? Hasn't the emperor considered the consequences?" Another A minister said worriedly, her brows furrowed as if she could kill a mosquito.
When the consequences were mentioned, everyone was worried, and they all frowned, with worry written on their faces. Everyone knows that if the river is managed successfully, the emperor will be famous forever and his name will go down in history. But the temper of the Yellow River is more untamable than a tiger. When it is gentle, it is scary. When it is angry, it will eat people without spitting out the bones. Throughout the Tang Dynasty, even if they risk their lives, they may not be able to subdue this mad dragon, so the possibility of failure is much greater than success. If he messes up, the emperor's reputation will be ruined. Not only will the people's support be lost, but he will also be stabbed in the spine and will be infamy for thousands of years.
All the officials felt that this was a bet they couldn't afford to lose, and the stakes were extremely high. It was their wealth, their lives, and the fate of the Tang Dynasty.
"My lord, I am counting on you for this matter. You must persuade the emperor to rescind this decision, otherwise we will all be in trouble..." An old minister said bitterly. Face, holding Fang Xuanling's hand, treating her as a life-saving straw. Her eyes were full of pleading and expectation, as if Fang Xuanling was her only hope.
The officials all stared directly at Fang Xuanling, waiting for her to make up her mind. Fang Xuanling frowned slightly, as if thinking about something, then shook his head with a wry smile: "My lords, don't you understand the emperor? She always thinks twice before doing anything. Maybe she has already planned to control the river in her heart. A brilliant move.”
< br>"A clever trick to control the river? It's not that I underestimate the emperor. All the wise kings in the past dynasties have wanted to control the river, but what's the result? They all failed. Why can the emperor do it?" A minister said disdainfully, Her eyes were full of doubt and dissatisfaction.
"That's right, if the emperor really has a way, then why has no one been able to succeed for thousands of years?" Another minister also echoed, her face full of disbelief and ridicule. "My lord, you must think clearly. This matter cannot be taken carelessly." Another minister reminded, with a hint of anxiety and worry in her voice.
After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, all the officials shook their heads in disbelief. They felt that if the emperor really had a good way to control the river, wouldn't all the wise emperors in the past have lived in vain? And the emperor hasn't taken action yet. Those wise gentlemen have tried step by step, but in the end this problem has not been left. Therefore, it was really hard for them to believe what Fang Xuanling said.
"My lord..." Even Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head, expressing his disapproval. Her eyes were full of helplessness and confusion, as if she was also thinking about this unsolvable problem.
"This is just my guess. I will know it after a while." Fang Xuanling sighed and said. Her tone was full of helplessness and indifference, as if she had anticipated the coming storm.
The emperor's move is like dancing on the edge of a cliff. If he succeeds, he will be a hero, but if he fails, he will be a sinner for the ages. But who can change the emperor's decision? We can only take one step at a time. The officials murmured secretly in their hearts, but did not dare to speak out. They could only wait silently for the next fate.
While talking, a little eunuch hurried in and announced that the morning court had begun. Her face was pale, and her eyes were full of tension and anxiety, as if she was also worried about what would happen next.
The officials quickly put away their thoughts and walked into the hall with serious faces. The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, as if even the air had frozen.
With the sound of heavy footsteps, Emperor Li Shimin appeared in front of everyone. Wearing a dragon robe, she sat majestically on the dragon chair, with an inviolable majesty in her eyes. The officials' hearts were in their throats, for fear that the emperor would say something shocking.
But the emperor frowned and looked around, and then asked: "Why hasn't General Cheng arrived yet?" There was a hint of displeasure and anxiety in her voice, as if she was worried about General Cheng's lateness. Feeling very dissatisfied.
As soon as these words came out, all the officials were stunned, wondering in their hearts. Li Qingge always likes to be late. When did the Emperor ever care about this? Why did you suddenly ask me today? Could it be that he wanted to give her the important task of regulating the river?
When I thought of this, people in the hall began to gasp. A chill ran down my spine, and I was so scared. If Li Qingge were asked to regulate the river, wouldn't it be a mess? If the Yellow River floods more severely, the people will suffer.
An old minister was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, his eyes widened, and he said with horror: "Your Majesty! You must not do this! Please think twice!" There was a hint of fear in her voice. There was a hint of trembling and pleading, as if he was trying to dissuade the emperor with his life.
The officials also knelt down and tried to persuade each other. Their faces were full of fear and worry, as if they had seen the disaster in the future. Li Shimin was also stunned when he saw this. He stood there and didn't know what to do. There was confusion and helplessness in her eyes, as if she was also thinking about this difficult decision.
Oh, she hasn’t spoken yet, why did she cause such a big commotion? Not a single word came out of her mind. Could it be that they could still hear what she was thinking?
She muttered to herself, and glanced at all the ministers of His Highness, and saw that all of them had expressions of surprise and suspicion, as if what she was thinking had been revealed.
"No, no, she was just thinking about how to cure the Yellow River water disaster, but I heard that Li Qingge, a man with extensive knowledge of the past and the present, might have some good ideas." She thought again, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. , "Why don't we give her the responsibility of river management, or secretly learn some of her river management secrets?" After thinking this, Li Shimin almost turned pale with fright. He quickly calmed down, shook his head gently, and thought I really think too much about myself. She could hear Li Qingge's thoughts. That was a gift from God. How could these old ministers hear what was in her heart?
"What do you mean?" She looked calm on the surface, but her heart was filled with turmoil. She asked calmly, her eyes like a torch as she scanned His Highness and everyone. They either lowered their heads and said nothing, or looked at each other, as if they wanted to speak but were hesitant.
"Your Majesty, we are just worried that such an important matter of river management must not be left to General Cheng." An old minister, sweating profusely, stepped forward to give advice, her voice trembling slightly. , obviously very uneasy inside. River management relies on capable men in the army, and now Li Qingge is the only general favored by the court. His Majesty is so kind to her, isn't it obvious that he wants her to take the lead? When the old minister thought of this, he almost fainted. If Li Qingge were really given the important task, not only would the Yellow River not be able to be cured, but it would also become even more chaotic! Today, even if I risk my life, I still have to stop him.
"Oh, so that's what happened." Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, with a bit of helplessness and understanding hidden in his smile, "You are overthinking, the candidate has not been decided yet, let's go again Let's discuss." As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, some patted their chests, and some wiped their sweat, as if they had just woken up from a nightmare.
"Your Majesty, I'm late." Li Qingge's unhurried voice came from outside the door, sounding like he was perfunctory. When the officials heard this, they became angry, their eyes were as wide as bells, and they looked towards the door, as if they wanted to see her thoroughly. Li Qingge strutted into the hall, wearing a green shirt with a rustling sound. She looked around and was stunned when she saw this posture: "What's going on? I didn't steal your food or kidnap your daughter. Why are you doing this? Staring at me?" She was confused. But she still quickly bowed and saluted, with a hint of joking in her voice: "Your Majesty." Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for her to get up: "Get up." She felt quite at ease in her heart, because she could hear Li Qingge's inner voice, and had a premonition that she could Solve this puzzle.
“Everyone is here, let’s talk about river management.” Li Shimin looked at everyone with a smile, his smile was warm and deep, as if he could see into people’s hearts, “The Yellow River is flooding, history There are so many of them. Every time it floods, I don’t know. How many people will be killed? This Yellow River is not only our mother river, but also a difficult beast. It is urgent to treat it. If you have any good ideas, let's talk about it, because she doesn't seem to be worried at all. I know what good ideas these officials can come up with. Sure enough, everyone looked embarrassed, and they were all muttering in their hearts: Today is not about whether to cure the disease, but how to cure it. Your Majesty has made up his mind, and it is useless for us to persuade him. We might as well think carefully about how to make suggestions. So everyone spoke one after another, and what they said was nothing more than the same old tricks of channeling and interception, but they worked hard on the details. Everyone tried to come up with some new insights from their own perspective.
Li Shimin listened to everyone's discussion and already had some calculations in his mind. Her eyes glanced at Li Qingge from time to time, and she saw Li Qingge's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes shining with thought. She knew that Li Qingge must be thinking about something in his heart.
As for Li Qingge, she thought in her heart: [Your Majesty wants to control the river. This is a good thing and will benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty. But river management is no joke, and neither diversion nor blockage is a long-term solution. If we want to cure the Yellow River floods, we still have to build dams. But this will cost a lot of money. Although Datang is rich and powerful, I am afraid no one dares to make this suggestion. Building dams to control water is a good idea. It can not only solve flood problems in the long term, but also protect people along the coast. However, this requires not only money, but also determination and courage. ] She nodded secretly while thinking of countermeasures, as if she had already seen the future.
When Li Shimin heard this, his expression changed, he was surprised and confused: "Control the water of the Yellow River? This is not easy! Although your idea is good, it is too difficult to implement!" She frowned , wondering if Li Qingge was telling lies. But if you think about it carefully, this method may really work, it just needs Datang to put all its efforts into it!
"I have an idea..." As soon as Li Shimin said this, all the officials pricked up their ears, and Li Qingge also raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself: "It turns out that His Majesty has a plan for a long time. I wonder if this method will work?" It is estimated that it is just a slight improvement on the basis of the predecessors, and it is difficult to have anything new. 】 She remained calm on the surface, just nodded slightly and motioned for Li Shimin to continue speaking.
Li Shimin looked around and spoke slowly: "I think that managing the river is not something that can be done in a day, nor can it be done by one person. We have to pool our wisdom and work together. Li Qingge, you know everything about ancient and modern times, do you have any idea? What novel method?" There was a bit of expectation and encouragement in her words, obviously she had high hopes for Li Qingge.
Hearing this, Li Qingge smiled slightly, with some confidence and calmness hidden in that smile: "Your Majesty, I do have an idea. We can build a dam to control water, but this dam is not an ordinary dam; A smart dam that can regulate water volume. Building such a dam in key areas of the Yellow River can both prevent floods and provide irrigation, killing two birds with one stone." Her words were clear and powerful, as if she had already painted the grand blueprint in her heart.
When the officials heard this, they started talking one after another. Some nodded in praise, while others looked puzzled. Li Shimin looked at Li Qingge with piercing eyes, and secretly admired in his heart: "This kid really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve." Building dams to control water is a novel idea. However, it may not be easy to implement. ] She pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke: "Li Qingge, your idea is good. However, building a dam requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Although our Tang Dynasty is strong, we cannot easily use national power. You have to give me a detailed plan. Let me see if this method works Okay." Li Qingge heard this and bowed: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will deliver the detailed dam construction plan within three days." Her words were full of emotion. A bit firm and confident, as if he has already seen his future success.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I will wait for you for three days. I hope your plan will satisfy me." There was a bit of expectation and encouragement in her words, and she was obviously full of confidence in Li Qingge.
Following Li Shimin's instructions, the officials dispersed one after another. Li Qingge stayed where he was, thinking to himself: [Building a dam to control water is not only a project, but also a challenge. I have to plan carefully and not let His Majesty down. ] Her eyes were firm, as if she had already seen the victory in the future. Li Shimin looked at Li Qingge's back and secretly admired in his heart: "This boy is indeed a capable person." There may be hope for river control. ] An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she had already seen the prosperity of the future.
Li Qingge was slightly stunned in the palace, but the doubt was quickly covered up by her deep eyes. She still didn't believe that Li Shimin could really have any good way to control the river. She shook her head slightly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, as if to say: "Constructing the river? Huh, this is no joke."
After a while, all the civil and military eyes were filled with tears. They all stared at Li Shimin's face, their eyes full of curiosity and anticipation, as if they were waiting to watch a wonderful show. In the main hall, the candlelight flickered, reflecting the complicated expressions on everyone's faces, and there was an atmosphere of tension and excitement in the air.
"Hey!" Li Shimin took a deep breath and spoke slowly, with a calm and powerful voice: "To regulate the Yellow River, we must either dredge it or block it, but if it is dredged, we are afraid that the flood will be more serious, and if it is blocked, it will waste people and money. It’s not a long-term solution.” Her words revealed a sense of helplessness and determination, as if she had been thinking about this issue for a long time.
"Neither of these two roads leads." She said firmly, her voice was as loud as thunder, and everyone was shocked when they heard it. The officials looked at each other with surprise and confusion in their eyes, as if they were shocked by Li Shimin's words.
At this moment, an old minister's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she suddenly became enlightened. She nodded and praised: "Your Majesty is so clear-eyed and revealed the secrets with just one word!" There was something in her words. He was full of admiration and emotion, as if he deeply admired Li Shimin's wisdom.
Other ministers also agreed: "In this case, your Majesty must have a clever way to control the river." "Did your Majesty already have a plan in mind?" "Why didn't you tell me earlier? We are so worried!" They were all as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, as if they had already seen the hope of regulating the river.
Li Qingge was also stunned for a moment, a trace of surprise and curiosity flashed in her bright eyes. She secretly thought: "Hey! This kid Li Shimin still has a few years to live, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. What he says will definitely shock people." Her eyes flashed with admiration, and she looked straight at Li Shimin, as if Want to find out more secrets from her.
Li Shimin felt Li Qingge's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, but he quickly stopped them. She thought to herself: "How can I be so happy when my ministers praise me so much?" She pretended to be calm and glanced at the officials in the hall, but a surge of pride and confidence surged in her heart.
Then, she said seriously: "I plan to give up the old tricks and build more dams in the Yellow River to control the water flow in sections and use smoke to convey information. In this way, the Yellow River will be under control." Her words revealed that An unprecedented determination and courage, as if he had already seen the successful scene of river control.
"When a flood comes, we open the dam upstream to release water; when there is a drought, we transfer water to the downstream. What do you think?" Li Shimin's words were full of expectation and inquiry, as if he wanted to hear a hundred questions. the opinions of officials.
The hall fell silent for a while. The officials' eyes widened. You looked at me and I looked at you, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. None of them expected that such a good idea came from Li Shimin. Their eyes were full of admiration and admiration, as if they were deeply impressed by Li Shimin's wisdom.
Li Qingge was also surprised. She muttered in her heart: "Oh my God! What I said is exactly what Li Shimin thought. What a coincidence!" A trace of surprise flashed in her bright eyes and surprise, as if he was deeply surprised by Li Shimin's wisdom.
"Did this guy eavesdrop on what I'm saying? Only smart people can do such an advanced idea." She thought to herself, admiring Li Shimin in her heart.
"I already gave her a thumbs up in my heart." She murmured softly, with a faint smile on her lips. However, her joy was soon diluted by the cruelty of reality.
"But, although the idea is good, it is difficult to implement. Now the conditions are limited, and it is difficult to gather manpower and material resources." She sighed softly, with a trace of helplessness and worry in her eyes. She knew that regulating the river was an arduous task that required a lot of manpower and material resources. Now that Datang was in dire straits, it was not easy to realize this plan.
When Li Shimin saw Li Qingge's reaction, his heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself: "Am I too hasty?" She frowned, and a trace of anxiety and uneasiness flashed in her eyes. She knew that although this plan was good, it would be difficult to implement.
At this time, Changsun Wuji laughed dryly and stepped forward. There was a bit of embarrassment on her face, as if she didn't fully agree with the plan. She said softly: "Your Majesty is right. Building dams to control water is a good way. But there are also many problems."
There was a bit of worry and helplessness in her words, as if she had already seen this. Difficulties behind the plan. She continued: "To control the Yellow River, how many dams must be built? How much will it cost? Can the national treasury sustain it?" There was a deep worry and uneasiness in her words.
Her question was like stabbing a knife straight into the heart. When Li Shimin heard this, his face turned pale, and most of his enthusiasm just now was gone. She smiled bitterly: "It seems that I was a little hasty. You should think about it carefully." There was a bit of helplessness and self-deprecation in her voice, as if she regretted her impulse.
Changsun Wuji made the final calculation and said: "To control the Yellow River, we need to build more than a hundred dams. Each one costs money, and we also need to prepare grain. The grain in our treasury, It's enough for two months." There was a hint of heaviness and worry in her words, as if she had seen the huge pressure behind this plan.
"Let's talk about manpower. Although we have many warriors and can be used by foreigners, it is still not enough to build more than a hundred dams." She continued, with a bit of helplessness and emotion in her voice. She knew that although this plan was good, it would cost a lot to implement.
"What's more, spring plowing is about to begin..." There was a bit of anxiety and worry in her words, as if she had seen the conflict and contradiction between spring plowing and river management. She knew that if the problem was not properly addressed, the river management plan would be seriously affected.
As soon as she said this, the questions came one after another like rain. Li Shimin's heart was heavy, his brows were furrowed, and he looked disappointed. She secretly thought: "I originally thought that there was no way to control the river, but now it seems that there is still a way. But with this method, it is difficult for our Tang family to complete such a large project at once." She My heart was filled with helplessness and anxiety, as if I had seen the difficulties and twists and turns of the road to river management.
"How can we deal with this? Floods will come in two years. If the Tang Dynasty collapses, let alone control the river." The more she thought about it, the more she got a headache, her scalp was numb, and her face looked like dirt. She knew that she had to find a solution to this problem as soon as possible, otherwise Datang would face an unprecedented crisis.
Suddenly, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a new light flashed in his eyes, which was a surprise of finding a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.
"Oh, I almost forgot, there is also Li Qingge!" A glimmer of hope surged in his heart, and he turned his eyes to General Zhenguo, as if looking for a forgotten treasure. However, the officials around him curled their lips, obviously not taking it seriously. Changsun Wuji has long said that managing the Yellow River requires a combination of human, financial and material resources. How can Li Qingge do it alone? It would be useless to ask her. But even so, everyone's eyes were still involuntarily focused on Li Qingge's beautiful and refined face. Her face always seemed to have an indescribable charm.
Li Qingge was stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists and saluted, with a hint of apology on his face, but there was a hint of subtle cunning hidden in the apology: "Your Majesty, I am a warrior. What I think about in daily life, It’s nothing more than how to train soldiers and horses to increase military strength. As for other things..." At this point, all the officials were stunned, and the muscles on their faces twitched involuntarily. Isn't this guy too capable of bragging? Who doesn't know that she usually only sleeps and hangs out, but she still has the nerve to say that she thinks about practicing? How shameless! After Li Qingge finished speaking, she immediately received a lot of blank stares, but she didn't care. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she was used to such misunderstandings.
