Su Jie asked Mi Xin to take a pen and silk, and then began to write in it.

Mi Xin watched quietly, more and more surprised, and of course, extremely puzzled, "Is this? A nursery rhyme?"

Su Jie nodded, "This is for Zhu Ying."

Mi Xin nodded, and then turned her attention to the last sentence written by Su Jie: "Govern it as a bad place, and go to Datian from the east of Zhaodu. !"

Three days later.

The pigeons of the Mo family arrived in Gusu City ahead of schedule!

After the Mohists received the secret letter, they immediately sent people to the various streets of Gusu City!

A Mohist was walking on the street when he suddenly saw a group of children playing!

A child ran over and said, "Uncle Qu, come and play with us!"

In Gusu City, more than half are Mohists, and they are very familiar with each other.

Qu Song laughed and said, "Okay, Uncle Qu will teach you a nursery rhyme today, okay?"

"Yeah!"

The children were jumping for joy!

Qu Song smiled and said: "Mr. Mei, son of Gusu, enter Wuxi River in the east and Sanshan Port in Wujin in the west. Boats are moored outside every house, and every family sleeps on the river! Whoever can read it well, Uncle Qu will give it to you." A big fish to eat!"

All of a sudden, the children rushed over excitedly.

One by one, recite silently in front of Qu Song. If you make a mistake, you will come again until you get the big fish!

One day, two days, seven days!

There are scenes of children playing and reciting nursery rhymes everywhere, and even adults chant along from time to time!

Mr. Mei wrote really well.

Aunt Mei's son heard that he had arrived at Jixia Academy and became a student of the academy.

I could tell that Aunt Mei's son was promising.

I heard that the clan changed his name to Mei Changsu!

This nursery rhyme is written about the beautiful vision that the people of Gusu City have been yearning for for a hundred years.

That is, boats are moored outside every house, and every family sleeps in the river!If this is the case, then every family will become very rich.

But it is too difficult to do it.

Chapter 262 Enter Wuxi Wuxie River in the east and Wujin Sanshan Port in the west

ten days later.

A luxurious carriage came from outside Gusu City.

When the people in the fish pond saw it, they turned their heads away and did not continue to pay attention.

Zhu Ying lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the scene outside. There were mud puddles everywhere, even the road where the carriage traveled was muddy, and even the pulled horses were struggling to walk.

Suddenly a group of children passed by the carriage and began to circle around the carriage.

The coachman said: "Where is the child, go quickly, and alarm the nobles in the car, can you afford it?"

The children laughed and chanted while circling, saying: "Mr. Mei, son of Gusu, enter Wuxi Wuxie River in the east, and Sanshan Port in Wujin in the west. Boats are moored outside each house, and every family sleeps on the river!"

When Zhu Ying heard this, she was taken aback.

Mr. Mei?Gusuzi?

Are they talking about Mei Changsu?

Immediately, Zhu Ying opened the curtain of the car, and saw the happy faces of the children, who were reading while running, and ran away after reading a few times, and went to the lotus pond to continue reading.

The fisherman fishing in the river also laughed and read at the same time as the children.

Zhu Ying showed surprise, looked at the surrounding environment, and thought: "There are boats moored outside every house, and every family sleeps on the river, what a big breath."

If it is said in the nursery rhyme, how could Gusu City be such a dilapidated scene?The people can be said to be in trouble!

Zhu Ying said: "Let's go to the city!"

Soon, the carriage stopped moving again, and the driver said: "Sir, the road is too muddy to walk on."

As soon as the words were finished, a man's voice suddenly came and said with a smile: "Sir, you must have come from another place. If you want to enter Gusu City, you can only use a bullock cart. Naturally, noble horses cannot enter the city."

Zhu Ying suddenly realized, and said again and again: "So that's the case! Then I wonder if you can take me into the city."

The man laughed loudly and said, "Sir, you don't dislike my ox cart, so of course I am willing."

Zhu Ying got into the man's ox cart, while the attendants could only walk in the mud towards Gusu City.

Zhu Ying suddenly said: "When I came to Gusu for the first time, I heard that the children were reciting nursery rhymes. May I ask, who is Mr. Mei in this nursery rhyme?"

The man said: "Mr. Mei used to be called Mei Gusu, but later changed his name to Mei Changsu. He is the son of Aunt Mei. Not long ago, he went to the Jixia Academy in Qi State. Mr. Mei is the most talented person in Gusu City. gone."

Zhu Ying suddenly said: "So that's how it is! Gusu is the old land of Wu State. Is Mr. Mei from the former Wu State or from Chu?"

The man said: "In terms of birth, Aunt Mei is a descendant of the Wu Kingdom, so Mr. Mei is also considered to be half of the Wu Kingdom, but now everyone is from the Chu Kingdom. Who cares who is from which country when all people sleep on the river.”

Zhu Ying and the attendants took a look.

The two immediately understood that it was no wonder that Mei Changsu had no home for Chu. It turned out to be the case. Wu was destroyed by Chu.

The ox cart came to Xumen in Gusu City.

Suddenly the ox cart stopped.

Zhu Ying looked at the man's eyes staring at the city gate of Xumen, and said, "Why didn't you move?"

The man sighed and said: "Mr. Mei once said that if this Xumen is opening a gate to introduce the water of Taihu Lake into the canal in the city, it will not only be able to check the water potential, but also allow every family to sleep at the head of the river. At that time, my Gusu City It will become the most prosperous land in the Chu Kingdom. I will tell you quietly that even the Mi family, the Qu family, and even Huangyi combined are not as rich as this city! It is a pity that Mr. Mei wants to achieve it for me and other Gusu people. This great wish is too difficult. After all, Mr. Mei is not a nobleman, let alone be conferred by the King of Chu."

"what?"

""

Zhu Ying was shocked, how could it be possible, he looked at this dilapidated city, one city was comparable to the fiefdoms of three nobles, this is probably not alarmist.

The city of Gusu exceeds the fiefs owned by the three nobles?

Immediately, Zhu Ying remembered that ten years ago, when she proposed that Gusu should be given to Mei Changsu, Mei Changsu's face was so excited that it was hard to hold back!If you want to say that, doesn't it mean that Mei Changsu alone is worth the three ancient nobles of Chu?

Shocked, Zhu Ying!

Then, after the man took a second look, he continued to bring Zhu Ying into the city. Zhu Ying came to the city full of apprehension. He was not incompetent. On the contrary, Zhu Ying, like Mr. Chunshen, was proficient in water conservancy.

Otherwise, it's impossible for Huang Yi to be developed so well by him.

Not long after entering the city, Zhu Ying gave the man some money and asked if he could continue to show him around.

The man readily agreed. What Zhu Ying was looking at was not the dilapidated houses, but the water conservancy in the city. He asked, "In my opinion, if we just bring the water from Taihu Lake into the city, although it can divide and reduce the water potential, it can't be used by every family. Be rich."

The man laughed loudly and said: "My lord doesn't know how Mr. Mei's talent is so simple. Just reducing the water potential will only make Gusu City never have to worry about flooding. Based on this, it is already a great feat. "

Taihu Lake will naturally rise in water.

Once the water rises, it will be waterlogged, and this is one of the important reasons for reducing the water potential.

Soon, Zhu Ying thought that the water in Taihu Lake exceeded the level of Gusu City, and it was not a fake thing to divide the water into the city, so why did they become rich?

Zhu Ying asked eagerly: "Shicai, I heard children's nursery rhymes. There is a sentence that goes to Wuxi River in Wuxi in the east and Sanshan Port in Wuxi in the west. I guess this is the root of Gusu's prosperity?"

The man was quite surprised, and said: "The nobleman is familiar with water conservancy?"

When Zhu Ying heard it, she immediately said: "I don't know it well, I'm just very curious!"

The man said with a smile: "I see the disbelief on the nobleman's face. Although my Gusu City is dilapidated, if Mr. Mei manages it, it will be comparable to Longxi in Qin State. Of course, no one can do it except Mr. Mei."

When Zhu Ying heard this, she felt itchy all of a sudden.

Chu State actually has such a treasure land! ?

The man continued: "Gusu is the former land of Wu and Yue. There are three rivers and five lakes here. In addition to Taihu Lake, it is also connected to Wuxi Lake, which is Furong Lake. If you dig a pond between the two lakes, you can let the horses drink water. The people For personal use, from then on, the four wildernesses hundreds of miles away in Gusu will be free from severe floods."

Zhu Ying nodded.

Indeed, Gusu connects three rivers and five lakes.

But how to manage it is very difficult. What the man said now undoubtedly opened a door for Zhu Ying.

The man continued: "The water of Taihu Lake is higher than Gusu. If we open an additional gate in Gusu City, build a water and land gate, close the water gate of Xumen, and let the water of Xujiang detour into the city, it will not only reduce the water potential! , as long as many small criss-crossing rivers are dug in the city, so that the river runs through the whole city, it is not only convenient for drainage of floods, but also convenient for water transportation, isn't it just like mooring boats outside every house, and every family sleeps in the river!"

Zhu Ying was astonished.

This move is not bad, it makes use of the water of the five lakes.

What about Sanjiang?how to do.

The man continued: "If this is successful, there will be no floods in the city, so we can build a large river leading to the big river, use it to build a port, divert the southward flow of the river, and divide it into two through the Wujin boundary. Enter the Wuxie River in Wuxi in the east, and enter Sanshan Port in Wujin in the west! Then continue to open the Wuxi River, and the plan will be completed."

Zhu Ying was finally not calm at this time.

Because, what is the big plan that the man said.

Once this grand plan is completed, let alone Gusu, the entire Wuyue Qianli boundary will become the richest place in the entire Chu Kingdom.

Not to mention the three ancient nobles, even if all the lands of the nobles are added up, they can't compare with Gusu.

What Chen Ying, what Jiang Xia.

What a shit!

Zhu Ying understood.

He finally understands!

His heart was beating wildly, this Gusu City was a treasure.

No wonder Mei Changsu couldn't hold back after hearing about it!What is Huang Yi once he is sealed as the Yin of the Chunshen Lord?

Huangyi is at best a strategic location.Although in the 20 years of water conservancy operation, it has become an extremely rich land boundary.

But how to compare with Gusu.

Immediately Zhu Ying hesitated, contradicting, really want to reward Mei Changsu?

This, I can't bear it.

Seeing that Zhu Ying's eyes were twinkling, the man immediately added a sentence, saying: "Mr. Mei said that the rule is that it is considered to be poor, and the east of Zhaodu is to Datian. ! There is no other treasure in the state of Chu!”

Xu is Xujiang, and the surrounding fields are Xubei. It goes south into Taihu Lake, Taihu Lake pours into Gusu, and Gusu pours into the wild!Gusu, also known as Suzhou in later generations.

What a boldness!What an ingenuity!

Zhu Ying couldn't help sighing: "Mei Changsu is really a good man who governs the world!"

The man suddenly took two steps and said: "My lord, I have other things to do, so I won't see you off, so I'll take my leave!"

Zhu Ying returned a salute, and after the two parted.

Zhu Ying's attendant couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Sir, what should I do!"

Zhu Ying couldn't make a sound for a moment, and said: "It's really the right time, almost, almost kept in the dark! Mei Changsu is really terrifying, every house is parked outside the gate, and every house is full of pillows. He, this statement is not false."

The attendant said: "Although Your Majesty trusts Ling Yin, Ling Yin has already occupied the twelve counties in Huaibei, so it is absolutely impossible for His Majesty to enshrine Gusu. From my point of view, sir, follow the plan and let Your Majesty enshrine Gusu." Give it to Mei Changsu, and then find a way to get Mei Changsu to serve as Ling Yin, maybe that's okay."

Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "You underestimate Gusu too much!"

Zhu Ying's words were full of melancholy. Chu's army is divided, so is the land, and the city is also different from the systems of other countries. Whoever is rich will have more soldiers and horses.

At that time, Wu Qi reformed in Chu State.

It was to strengthen the centralization of power, remove the nobles, and take back the land. As a result, he died.

The nobles got back their land and their rights.

This is the system of Chu State.

Although Ling Yin is big, if Mei Changsu controls Gusu, the largest and wealthiest state in Chu, the consequences can be imagined. Why should he serve Ling Yin.

Could it be that he can't be Ling Yin?

Zhu Yingdao: "Let's go and see Mei Changsu's people first. If there is no big problem, hurry back to Chen Ying. This matter cannot be delayed. If the Zhao family and the Qu family find out, there may be accidents!"

One day later!

Zhu Ying rushed to Chen Ying non-stop. His mentality had already exploded because of this matter. Whoever wins Gusu will be the uncrowned king of Chu.
