Chapter 38 New Planning

Not long after the three families planted all the sweet potato seedlings, news suddenly came from above, saying that a super-long river channel was to be dug south of the Yellow River, with villages as groups, and all magistrates and county magistrates would be dispatched.

When Lu Siyu heard the news, he was very surprised. He did know about the excavation of the river, and it was proposed by him, but he did not expect that the court's intention was to dig a river south of the Yellow River. Isn't this a big deal?

"Brother Yu, long time no see." Zhuang Jinhan looked at Lu Siyu with a smile.

Lu Siyu looked at him. This man was wearing a light gray robe today. Standing in the countryside, it is not easy to get dirty, and he looks more down-to-earth. The premise is to ignore the delicate green bamboos on his clothes.

"Aren't Brother Zhuang busy?" Lu Siyu looked at him seriously.

"Isn't this busy?" Zhuang Jinhan smiled, pointing to the government servants who were planning the river course.

However, his movements were not big, and outsiders didn't notice it. He was obviously here for inspection, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was still an ordinary rich young master.

Lu Siyu was helpless: "Didn't you just dig the river in the county, how did it become south of the Yellow River?"

"Your proposal is very good. After I sent it up, the emperor was full of praise for it, saying how such a good idea can only be promoted in our county, it must benefit the whole country, so..." He spread his hands and gestured Such a result was beyond his expectation.

Lu Siyu frowned: "Since this matter is such a big deal, it will definitely not be the same as my previous proposal, giving every village a certain subsidy. Wouldn't it be a waste of money and people?"

Zhuang Jinhan looked at him with a serious expression: "You can't talk nonsense."

Lu Siyu quickly shut up, who told him to live in the 21st century, he learned a lot in history class, and he often saw the words "wasting people and money", so he blurted out when he felt it, but forgot that he was in a special environment now Down.

Thinking of Zhuang Jinhan's identity again, he lowered his head: "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Zhuang Jinhan rubbed his hair, "Don't worry, the person in that position is a wise king. The digging of the river channel is such a big deal. If compensation is really needed, there is not so much silver in the treasury. So the emperor decided to reduce half of this year's taxes for all the families in the south of the Yellow River who participated in the digging of the river."

Lu Siyu raised his head suddenly: "Half the tax?"

"Well, are you happy now?" Zhuang Jinhan said with a smile.

"Of course, your majesty is really a wise king!" Lu Siyu was also a little excited. Of course he knew what it means to reduce taxes by half. This means that these participating families can live a better life this year than before. With this , He believes that the villagers involved in digging the river will also be motivated.

If it was an incident in the history book, no matter how miserable it was, Lu Siyu would only express his emotions, but when the incident really happened to him, he would also be restless. Now that he heard that the emperor had already prepared a countermeasure, his mood was finally calm down.

But here Lu Siyu was calm after knowing the news in advance, but the other villagers were still a little unhappy.

But not long after, the village chief came back and brought back the news.

"Can you really cut half the tax?"

"Of course, the imperial decree has already been issued, so there is no mistake."

"Wonderful, thank God, it's been a good year."

"Your majesty is wise, my majesty is definitely the best emperor ever."

"That's right, I can't wait for when the river channel will start to be dug."

"Dig early, and you can dig deeper, so you don't have to worry about flooding in the future."

The interest of the villagers suddenly rose, and they all wanted to dig immediately.

A smile appeared on Lu Siyu's face.

"Brother Yu, why don't you accompany Brother Wei to look at the plan?" Zhuang Jinhan suggested.

"That's good." Lu Siyu nodded. He hasn't started digging yet. It's better to find out more problems, which is better than having problems after the formal digging.

The place to look at the planning map is naturally not to go to the county seat, but to Lu Siyu's house.

When Lu Si and Lu Wu built a house before, Lu Siyu specially asked someone to build a hut, which was also specially built for Lu Siyue. In addition, Lu Siyun and Lu Sile shared a room, Lu Siyu had a room by himself, and his room There is also a desk in the room, and there are some books on the desk, all of which were left by Lu's father before.

The two entered the room, and Lu Siyu closed the door, watching Zhuang Jinhan take out the plan for this time from his arms.

The plan was spread out on the table, and with just one glance, Lu Siyu could see the detail of the plan: "Brother Zhuang is not afraid that I will leak such a detailed map?"

The more detailed the map, the more it was a military secret in ancient times, and it would never be seen by outsiders under normal circumstances, but the map Zhuang Jinhan produced this time is much more detailed than the rough map before.

"Don't be afraid, Brother Yu's character is naturally worthy of guarantee." Zhuang Jinhan said without hesitation.

Lu Siyu shook his head and carefully looked at the map on the table.

From the map, he quickly found the route he had planned before. To his surprise, there was almost no change in that route, while the other routes, the rivers that were [-] to [-]% similar to the map in his warehouse, the rest He couldn't see the depth of [-] to [-] percent of the river, but on this planning map, all the rivers' directions are very scientific and reasonable, and they are more perfect than modern rivers.

The overall layout of this planning map is very powerful, not only taking into account the countryside, but also many small towns in counties. After all, if the flood does come, it will not only affect the villages.

It can be seen that the intelligence of the ancients is not inferior to that of the moderns. It is just that there are professional tools in the modern times, but the ancients can only plan with a lot of data, but such a plan is more reasonable than the modern river plan.

This is not to say that modern times are incapable of planning, but that modern times have modern limitations, and some designs cannot be realized even if they are designed. However, in ancient times when imperial power was supreme, some plans were much more convenient to implement than modern times.

"The person who designed this picture is very good, and I can't find any flaws at all." Lu Siyu said seriously.

"This is a plan drawn with the efforts of thousands of people," Zhuang Jinhan said seriously, with a serious expression, "but their plans are all extensions based on your previous plan. If I hadn't resisted the pressure with all my strength, you Now she will definitely become a celebrity in front of the emperor."

Lu Siyu was stunned, lowered his head in thought for a moment, then immediately raised his head, wondering: "Brother Zhuang is serious?"

"Well, those people are the pillars of the country, and they all think that your plan is almost impeccable. If not for some special reasons, your plan will definitely be fully presented on this planning map." Zhuang Jinhan said in a deep voice.

In Lu Siyu's eyes, he could no longer see what Zhuang Jinhan was thinking.

"I'm so good?" Lu Siyu was surprised, "But isn't my plan very simple? It's just going around the mountains and raving the fields."

The map given by Zhuang Jinhan before was too crude, and it was impossible for him to draw a detailed planning map. He could only imitate it based on modern maps. However, considering the situation in ancient times, of course they cannot be allowed to do difficult jobs, nor can they be exactly the same Planning, some places should be avoided or should be avoided, so relatively speaking, there will definitely be some revisions.

Therefore, when faced with Zhuang Jinhan's question, he can also have his own explanation, at most it is too precise.

"That's right," Zhuang Jinhan smiled, and patted him on the shoulder, "So it's really worth knowing your younger brother. Where is the emperor, do you have any idea to meet him?"

"Not at all." Lu Siyu immediately shook his head and looked at him eagerly, hoping that this person would not reveal himself on the spur of the moment. As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger, and he didn't travel to ancient times to live in fear.

"Don't worry, I know you don't like it, so I didn't confess you. I just said that the previous plan was made by an expert." Zhuang Jinhan didn't know Lu Siyu for the first time, and he probably knew Lu Siyu's temperament. The credit for this incident is not small, too much publicity will only cause trouble, he will never put Lu Siyu in danger no matter what.

"That's good. I think it's easier to farm." Lu Siyu said, although he had the ambition to live a good life in ancient times, he didn't want to face the centralized power directly. That environment was not something he could survive.

Zhuang Jinhan laughed: "Brother Yu, can you stay at Brother Xian's house tonight?"

"Are you going to live at my house again?" Lu Siyu subconsciously asked back, covered his mouth after speaking, and said vaguely, "I mean, Brother Zhuang has something else to do? Will staying at my house be a waste of time?"

Zhuang Jinhan didn't expose it, but just sighed and said: "Oh, if Brother Yu really doesn't want to, I won't force it, but I didn't expect the relationship between you and my brother to be so..."

"No, no, it's a great honor for Brother Zhuang to want to live in my house. It's so radiant. If Brother Zhuang doesn't dislike it, he is naturally welcome to live with him." Lu Siyu had a smile on his face, showing nothing There is no reluctance.

As for what's in your heart, of course you can't say it out loud.

"Then trouble Brother Yu." Zhuang Jinhan didn't expose it, and walked down the steps with a smile, regardless of whether the steps were hollow or not.

Lu Siyu felt helpless, he was really not used to sleeping in the same bed with others, but Zhuang Jinhan said so, it would be really unreasonable for him to refuse.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Lu Siyu asked.

"Eat whatever you want, as long as you let me fill your stomach." Zhuang Jinhan said casually, coming from a wealthy family, he is really not picky about food.

Lu Siyu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In the evening, he still cooked a bit richer than usual, a big bowl of meat, a big bowl of egg custard, and a plate of fried bean sprouts.

But maybe the three children also ate a lot of meat these days, and they were not too excited when they saw the meat, but were very interested in the crisp bite of the bean sprouts.

There are not many dishes, but for this family, this is much, much better than the beginning.

Five people finished the porridge and all the dishes without any waste.

Zhuang Jinhan rubbed his stomach subconsciously, and asked in confusion: "What did you put in the dishes you made, Brother Yu, why am I full again?"

Lu Siyu glanced at him: "Do you blame me for eating too much?"

Zhuang Jinhan looked at him and nodded seriously: "Yes."

Lu Siyu pondered: This person's face is probably made of iron, right?
