The sea outside Dingyuan City is different from the sea outside Zhenyuan City. Well, at least Chu Yu thinks so. So when the passenger ship goes out to sea, he seems to be particularly excited.

Holding a gentle palm of the sea, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. For him, this is the sea and home, and it is a place where he can forget all his worries.

"Brother, you still look so good when you smile!" Chu Qingxue naughtyly stretched out her hands and pinched Chu Yu's cheeks, as if she wanted to pull the corners of his mouth a little more.

Chu Yu did not line up her hands, but also pinched her cheeks like a prank. Her pink and red cheeks looked like ripe apples, "Your second brother has spoiled you!"

"Let go!"

"You let it go first!"

"You let me go first!"

"Then let it go together!"

"How do I know if you're going to lie?"

Mo Jiu couldn't help rolling his eyes as he looked at the brother and sister, "Childish!"

Chu Yu and Chu Qingxue were stunned, and at the same time, they reached out to pinch Mo Jiu's cheek, and the brother and sister pulled each other to both sides.

"ah!"

Mo Jiuda reached out and grabbed the two of them on the cheeks, but at this time he saw the tacit understanding between the brother and sister. He leaned back together, so that Mo Jiu's short hand almost couldn't reach them.

Stretch your hand, stretch your hand! Tip, tiptoe! Not reaching, so angry! Huh? Why didn’t these hateful brothers and sisters suffer retribution? The merit body is really not effective? Master, don’t you love me anymore?

The old zombie stood there blankly, no one knew what his expression was under the hat. The boatmen were very happy. There was no difference between superiors and inferiors. They knew that this was the feeling of home. This feeling was what they would protect in the future!

"Xiaojiu, did you live in Dingyuan City before?"

Mo Jiu shook his head, "I used to live in the mountains for at least three months every year. The rest of the time, the master will take me to various places."

Chu Qingxue nodded when she heard this. She could hear that Xiaojiu's master treated her very well, and was able to run around the world with a little girl. She should be a strong man. "Then you must have seen many scenery."

"Haha, no, I might have been too young at that time. My impression of various places was that the food was delicious!" Mo Jiu rubbed his cheeks a little unhappy. In the past, she was a blind man, what scenery could she see?

Chu Qingxue lowered her head and chuckled. It seemed that Xiaojiu's master was a foodie, and then said, "Have you heard of the Rising Sun in the Cannon City?"

Mo Jiu shook her head. Although she couldn't see the names of the attractions, she could still remember them, but she really seemed to have never heard of them.

Chu Qingxue smiled and reached out to point forward. It was a seaside cliff that was spending from land similar to the peninsula. "You can see it when you turn around there."

Mo Jiu was a little expectant when he heard this, but when the passenger ship walked around the cliff, she saw only two broken walls.

The two walls start from the two cliffs in front and in the distance, and extend into the sea water in the middle. It seems that they can converge less than 100 meters, but they are not really connected. It is like there was a complete wall before, but it was made into a hole.

"Is there any allusion between these two broken walls?" Mo Jiu asked.

A trace of nostalgia flashed across Chu Yu's face and said with a smile: "That's what happened a few years ago. The terrain along Dingyuan City is better defended than Zhenyuan City. Most of them are surrounded by cliffs, but only this area is very flat. After the on-site inspection, my father believed that the enemy would take advantage of the low tide to land on the coast, and would be more likely to take advantage of the high tide to drive the warships to the bottom of the city! In order to eliminate this possibility, my father ordered people to extend the city wall into the sea and plan to build a section of the sea Great Wall for better defense."

Mo Jiu looked at the two pieces of city walls that had not been built and said curiously: "Then what? Why hasn't it been built?"

Chu Yu sighed, "The bureau was complicated. Just when the project was about to be completed, someone in the court impeached his father for filling his personal bags and embezzled the river repair money. His father had no choice but to stop the project, which made him look like he is now. Coincidentally, whenever the sun rose, the two broken walls were like an open door, shining all over the earth in the face of the sun. Some people even said that this was the gateway of the Flower Kingdom! But my father was afraid of making taboos and not allowing everyone to say this."

Mo Jiu blinked and looked at the two broken walls. It turned out that the time was wrong.

"Then the question is, has your father misappropriated the river repair money?"

Mo Jiu's words made Chu Qingxue glar at her fiercely, but Chu Yu didn't mind and smiled and said, "Dingyuan City is a city near the sea. Is there any river here that needs to be built?"

Mo Jiu frowned, "Is this a test for me? Well, isn't there a Duyuan Canal? The canal is also very important!"

Chu Yu nodded, "You are not stupid, but have you ever thought about what is usually used for river repairs?"

Mo Jiu thought for a while and said, "The river repair game is usually used to place river water floods, right?"

"This has always been the case, but Duyuan Canal is different. The terrain outside Dingyuan City is flat, and Duyuan Canal connects Dingyuan City and Tiandu City. When it was built, possible problems were considered. Therefore, the river channel was built with continuous and curved, and many attached lakes were dug. Even if the flood peaks hit, it could be reduced layer by layer without causing floods. In fact, since the Duyuan Canal was built, there has been no flooding! "

Mo Jiu doesn’t understand water conservancy very much, but he understands this, “Then this river repair model…”

"It was the problem of the Ministry of Revenue. At that time, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue called for the river repair funds from other places to expand the Duyuan Canal." Chu Qingxue snorted, obviously she knew about this.

"Expanding Duyuan Canal? Why?"

Chu Yu continued: "When Duyuan Canal was first built, many factors were considered, so each section of the river was of particular importance. If it were just for canals, Duyuan Canal was actually not very good, because the river channel was relatively narrow, resulting in insufficient flow of the river. Many caravans complained because of this. Of course, it was mainly the caravans of the Ministry of Revenue. Therefore, the expansion was made."

Mo Jiu looked at the broken wall, "So... why did your father disagree with the expansion?"

Chu Yu glanced at Mo Jiu and sighed: "The end of Duyuan Canal is the sea entrance, and the other side is directly connected to Tiandu City, so the river must not be too wide. Otherwise, once someone breaks through the sea entrance, it can drive warships to go directly to Tiandu City! These issues were considered when establishing Duyuan Canal, which made the river relatively narrow."

"Then this is nothing wrong. We have experienced the Battle of Zhenyuan City before, and the enemy's ships are very fast! And once we go deep into the hinterland, any place on both sides of the river can become a landing site. By then, our cavalry will not have time to chase and block." Mo Jiu looked at Chu Yu in confusion.

Chu Yu said helplessly: "You can understand the truth, why can't the adults in the court understand?"

Mo Jiu was unhappy, "It seems that he is so stupid."

Chu Yu continued to smile and said, "Actually, my father hates Duyuan Canal. Because Dingyuan City defends against sea invasion, the cliffs nearby are like natural dangers, which can play a key role. The appearance of Duyuan Canal is like a hole in the natural danger, giving the enemy a chance to directly cross the natural danger and enter the hinterland. However, the opening of the canal is indeed conducive to the transportation of materials, so my father will just follow it. However, the fact that widening Duyuan Canal is very stupid and makes my father embarrassed!"

Mo Jiu smiled and said, "Didn't you say that all the adults in the court can figure it out? Why do you still destroy your own defense line?"

"It is different from whether you are careful or not!" Chu Yu's voice was a little bitter, "Those adults can really figure it out, but they really don't care. They think that my country of flowers has stood for countless years without falling. How can there be any enemy who dares to take the initiative to invade us? So there is no need to worry about the so-called gap. It is better to broaden the river and vigorously develop business!"

"This idea... is very..." Mo Jiu was amused and cried, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Chu Yu continued: "Originally, my father had submitted a memorial statement, but the memorial was quickly criticized. The emperor obviously stood on the side of the Ministry of Revenue. Haha, it is normal to think about it. To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Revenue is the small treasury of the royal family. Look at the food, clothing and expenses of the empresses in the harem, which one does not need a lot of money? Haha, it is not easy for the emperor to raise a whole family."

Chu Yu's words were full of mockery, "The emperor's meaning is very obvious, and his father was helpless, so he could only agree to expand Duyuan Canal. But the problem is that if the river is really widened, it would be equivalent to completely denying the original plan. Not only is the natural danger of Dingyuan City in vain, but there may be a risk of flooding in the future. Haha, this flood prevention is also a technical job, but it is not as simple as saying that the wider the river, the better!"

"And what? What did your father do?"

Chu Yu looked at the two broken walls and continued: "My father thought about the river drawings of Duyuan Canal for three days, and finally he could barely draw a few places that could be moved and widened. Thirty could mix the errands. But other places could be perfunctory, but the estuary could not be concealed. But in order to eliminate military hidden dangers, my father thought about building the estuary. The two pieces here are a section. The original plan was to build a coastal defense fortification at the estuary."

"But the people from the Ministry of Revenue learned this news. They thought that you used royal money to build fortifications, so they wrote a letter to impeach. Haha, do you think anyone in the world who enriches their fortifications to build fortifications for the country?" Chu Yu said as he wanted to laugh.

Mo Jiu also curled his lips, "And then, I think there seems to be no sign of widening the canal?"

Chu Yu held his hands and sighed: "The court still has some understanding people. After a few days, Lin Xiang wrote a letter to impeach the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, accusing him of exhausting the people and causing money to shake the country's roots. He also listed in the memorial in detail the hidden dangers of widening the Duyuan Canal, which was nearly a hundred items! Hehe, that time seemed to have really made the old prime minister angry, and even grabbed the Minister of Revenue in the palace and slapped the Minister of Revenue in the mouth!"

Mo Jiu grinned and recalled the kind face in his mind. I couldn't tell that the old man was so irritable before!

Chu Yu took a deep breath and said leisurely: "Lin Xiang has been loyal to the country all his life and has a high reputation in the court. In addition, with the status of the old butler of Emperor Jin, the emperor has no choice but to ask for orders in the end, but this section of the sea wall naturally has no money to repair it. Over time, it has become a scenic spot and has become more and more famous in recent years."

Mo Jiu nodded and smiled silently for a moment, "Then let's look at the sunrise too, I haven't seen it yet!"
