Chapter 516 Is it biological?

"If you have something to play early, if you have nothing to do, retreat!"

The eunuch's sharp voice resounded through the court hall. Li Wenhao, who was sitting in the lower seat of the court hall, looked up and found that Li Shimin was getting fatter.

That's right, getting fat.

You must know that gaining weight and becoming stronger are two different things.

A few years ago, Li Shimin was still muscular, but now...

Potbellied, getting richer and richer, it is estimated that in a few years, either Li Shimin will not be able to hold weapons, or the war horse will not be able to carry Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the chiefs of Jiannan Road and Annan Road recently reported that since Han Xin went to the south of the Yangtze River, he has started to recruit soldiers and food. I am worried..."

It was Wei Zheng who was speaking, and he didn't represent anyone. He just felt that Han Xin's actions were a bit self-respecting. After all, Li Wenhao waved his hand and asked Han Xin to governor Jiangnan without the consent of the court, and even Li Chengqian, who was the only one who could control him, Also called back.

"Oh?"

Li Shimin turned to look at Li Wenhao, "Prince, you ordered this matter, I need an explanation."

He talked about explaining, but in fact he wanted Li Wenhao to explain to the ministers in the DPRK and China what his intention for sending Han Xin was.

Moreover, there is one thing to say, the administration of officials in Jiangnan needs to be rectified. It is not that Li Wenhao did not kill enough before, nor that Wei Zheng caught enough in the past, nor that Li Chengqian and Wu Sidao were not strict enough there. rich.

There is a saying in later generations that is good, it is called the three-year Qing magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes.

This prefect of the Qing Dynasty refers to the officials in the south of the Yangtze River. This place is too rich, the flames of war will not be affected, and the products are rich. No matter who comes here to be an official, they cannot withstand the temptation. It is not a question of killing or not, but of people's hearts This greedy.

If the person who spoke was not Wei Zheng but someone else, Li Wenhao would have [-]% reason to believe that this person was probably bought by the wealthy families and officials in Jiangnan.

Due to the terrain in the south of the Yangtze River and the customs and other reasons, he is not like the north.

Of course, the most important point is that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The governance of Jiangnan, a land of fish and rice, in all dynasties has been a mediocre way of governance. No one wants to tear themselves apart with the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River. With you, the relationship is intricate and broken.

"Everyone, Han Xin's purpose in going to Jiangnan is very simple!"

Li Wenhao stood up on the chair with a smile on his lips. Fortunately, he didn't hold a weapon in his hand, and he didn't have a saber straddling his waist. Otherwise, the courtiers would be scared to death if they didn't keep their hands together.

"Train troops, collect food, Pingnan!"

"It was I who asked him to thoroughly investigate the big treasury in Jiangnan, and I also asked him to take charge of Jiangnan's military administration. If there is any problem, I will be responsible!"

"Are you in charge? Is His Highness the Crown Prince's words a little too big?"

Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Big?"

"Remember, Han Xin's rights are given by me, and his soldiers are given by me. He Han Xin may betray me, but his soldiers will not, and..."

Li Wenhao smiled slightly, "How do you know that Han Xin will betray you?"

"As the saying goes, don't be suspicious when you hire people, and don't use people who are suspicious. I am responsible for my people!"

"This matter has been revealed."

Li Wenhao waved his hand and motioned Wei Zheng to shut up. Wei Zheng closed his mouth tactfully. After all, Brother Pingtou is reckless, but he is not stupid. Li Wenhao's attitude is obviously that you are talking. To shut up.

"Father, my son and minister have their own play!"

This is one of the few official memorials of Li Wenhao who resembles Li Shimin.

"Oh? What's the matter with my son?"

Li Shimin was very surprised. After all, in the past, even in wars, Li Wenhao never handed over a formal memorial.

Opening the memorial, Li Shimin read it carefully, then looked at Li Wenhao suspiciously, "Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

Li Wenhao nodded loudly, and the courtiers looked at the two men suspiciously, thinking, what kind of riddle are these two playing?

"Since you want to do it, then do it, the future of Datang is yours after all."

Li Shimin handed the memorial to the eunuch, indicating that the ministers should circulate it.

About half an hour later, the memorial returned to Li Shimin's desk.

"Everyone, let's take a look. Since this matter has been brought up, we must make preparations in advance."

Li Shimin started the conversation, the ministers first discussed in low voices, and finally Fang Xuanling asked, "I don't know how Your Highness wants to manage the Yellow River?"

"The so-called blocking is worse than dredging. Naturally, it is necessary to dredge the river and find a suitable basin for the Yellow River. It can be used for my own use without causing floods, or to minimize the harm of floods."

"What kind of lowering method?"

Someone else asked a question of his own.

Li Wenhao nodded towards the person who asked the question. This person was only about 30 years old, and if nothing else, he should have been selected in the imperial examination in the past two years.

"It's very simple. Divide the flood discharge area and evacuate the people. Now the territory of my Tang Dynasty is enough to support us to do so!"

"Of course, the most important point is that if we want to solve the problem at the root, then we must..."

Li Wenhao glanced at the crowd, and pointed to the map of Tang Dynasty hanging on the side.

"Then it will bleed."

"As we all know, Guanzhong is the place where I made my fortune in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a place that the princes of the world must contend for. But, everyone, please look!"

"At present, ten forests and nine plowings in Guanzhong have caused the land to loosen. Whenever there is a storm, the sky is filled with loess, or the river is filled with silt, and the silt eventually converges into the Yellow River. This is also the root cause of the excessive silt in the Yellow River. "

"I mentioned before that the people in Guanzhong should be transferred and the farmland returned to forests, but it was rejected. This time, I think everyone needs to seriously consider it."

"Is Guanzhong important or Central Plains important?"

"Or, the Guanzhong and Yellow River floods, which one is more deadly?"

Li Wenhao looked at the ministers in the court with burning eyes. He hoped to hear some constructive solutions, rather than blindly opposing or agreeing.

"Your Highness, I would like to ask you how long it will take for the management of the Yellow River to bear fruit according to what Your Highness said."

Li Wenhao stretched out a finger to the person who asked the question.

"One year?"

The courtier shook his head in disbelief.

"Who said it's been a year?"

"I'm talking about at least one generation, maybe one generation is not enough, it needs the efforts of generations."

"what?"

Chaos immediately rose up in the court. You must know that this kind of project that can only be completed by one generation or even several generations is generally the kind of big project that devotes all the power of the whole country. In fact, it is really difficult to control the Yellow River. National power is needed.

Harnessing the Yellow River is not like building the West Great Wall. As long as there are people, it will be repaired sooner or later. Harnessing the Yellow River depends on the sky. How many lives will be lost, how much money will be lost, how much food will be consumed, and what rewards can be obtained. It's all unknown.

It is very likely that this side will do it with great fanfare, but there will be no achievements...

Therefore, no one dares to mess with this decision. If it is done well, the celebrity will go down in history. If it is not done well, it will be infamous forever.

"Your Highness, may I ask how much food will it cost to harness the Yellow River?"

"How many manpower?"

The household servant asked.

"countless!"

Li Wenhao gave an unknown answer, "When I govern the Yellow River, I don't want to see the effect now. I want to have children and grandchildren. After hundreds or thousands of years, the Yellow River will have no floods. In a sense, it is just like Yang Guang. Like a canal."

"Let's not talk about the purpose of opening the canal, but from now on, it really benefits people's livelihood and benefits future generations."

"A person's life is too short. If we don't do two great things, if we don't leave something for future generations, how can we be worthy of the parents who gave birth to me?"

After listening to Li Wenhao's words, Wei Zheng was overwhelmed. He is not an opportunist, nor is he a politician. He is just an ordinary person who wants to do something for the country and the people. Yes, he is an ordinary person.

After hearing what Li Wenhao said, he felt that it was too boring for him to participate in this and play that all the time before. In other words, the structure was too small, and he wanted to do something big.

"Your Highness, please show me!"

Wei Zheng's voice fell, and there was a sound of air-conditioning in the hall. Normally, Wei Zheng would spare no effort at this time, and even threatened his life to oppose it, but today, Wei Zheng has obviously changed his mind!

"Everyone, don't compare Yang Guang's Great Sui Dynasty with my current Great Tang."

"First, he has no money like me. Second, he has no people like me. Third, I will not extort money."

"So, please rest assured about this matter."

"Everyone, please see that the Yellow River is now [-] miles west of Puyang. We can pass these rivers and continue to drink from the Yellow River, so that the Yellow River can flow into the sea at Jizhou Port."

"In this way, the Hebei Plain can be irrigated with the water from the Yellow River, and the water-scarce environment in the north can be improved."

"Specifically, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, please sit down and make arrangements!"

"Counties along the way, those who need to be relocated, those who need to give way, all of these are based on the Yellow River"

"Also, Wei Zheng, since you want to do something, I will entrust you with a big task. You bring people and money, and return to Guanzhong as soon as possible, evacuate the people in Guanzhong, and encourage the conversion of farmland to forests."

"Tell the people in Guanzhong that if one acre of forest is planted, the imperial court will compensate two acres of grain, and more will be given back and more given. As long as the forest does not fall or spoil, we will give this grain every year."

"Also, for those people who need to relocate, according to the size of the previous houses, we will compensate them with money. Remember, the money must be enough for the people to buy new houses. At the same time, when moving people, we must help them divide the cultivated land in advance. .”

"If someone wants to go to the grassland, go to the northeast, that's even better."

Li Wenhao said here that the Zhishilangs in the court over there were frantically recording with their pens, and the leaders of several related departments were also meticulously recording, sometimes smiling and sometimes frowning. Obviously, the requirements Li Wenhao made for them It's not so easy to achieve, after all, Chinese people all have a feeling for their homeland.

"Jin Yichuan, you lead Jinyiwei's secret guards to be in charge of supervising. At this time, if someone enriches their own pockets and uses their power for personal gain, there is no need to report it, and they will directly steal their skins and use them as grass, and ransack their families."

"Yes!"

Jin Yichuan, who had been hiding in the dark corner of the court hall, replied and hid in the shadows again.

"Han Qi!"

"exist."
