Chapter 402: The Dam Is Difficult to Build, Half of the Scriptures
Li Changan expressed his idea of building a dam.
Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission was quiet.
After a long time, a voice came, "Can such a dam really be built?"
"Yes, such a dam is simply unheard of. In the 800 years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, when had such a huge dam been built?"
"To block several mountains is simply more shocking than moving mountains to fill the sea."
When everyone heard Li Changan's thoughts, it was as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
To build a dam to cut off the Yan River, the mountains must be completely transformed into one piece.
I have never heard of such a dam.
"Chang'an, we know your intention to solve the flood problem better than anyone else."
"But now disaster relief and flood control in the south consume countless amounts of money, reaching tens of millions."
"If it hadn't been really effective now, there would have been a huge quarrel in the imperial court."
Zou Boxun, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said,
"The floods in Wushan County should be solved according to the old methods."
"Building such a dam would probably cost a mountain of silver."
"It's really inappropriate to waste people and money..."
"Using the previous methods, we will have no worries for at least three years."
Xia Yunkai, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, also nodded in agreement.
Li Changan's idea of building a dam is so shocking that if outsiders heard it, they would think it was just a dream.
Even if they agreed, the court would not agree.
Needless to say, the labor and money required to build a dam must be an astronomical figure.
Even Da Jin may suffer injuries.
Silver is not scraped from the sky.
"Yes, Chang'an, the dam you mentioned, I just thought about it in my mind for a moment, and it's hard to imagine."
"Such a huge fortification requires at least one million laborers and is very dangerous."
"If you want to stop Yan Shui, it's impossible if you don't have a height of 100 feet."
"This is not moving mountains, but building mountains one after another."
"And the dam will have to be opened and closed in the future. It's impossible to ask a third-grade scholar to station here, right?"
"It's too difficult for ordinary people to open and close the gate."
The same is true for the rest of the people.
Li Changan wants to build a giant dam that is rare in the world.
Although it can solve the flood problem in the south, it will cost a lot of money. In their view, the gain outweighs the loss.
As long as the south can be prevented from flooding within three years.
What they did was good enough.
He will not live up to the name on the merit monument.
Even if there is a flood in the future, it will not have such a huge impact as this time.
Because they made a lot of arrangements downstream, ditches and dams were reorganized and constructed, which can resist a considerable part of the flood.
To be honest, it is not cost-effective to spend countless amounts of money to build a dam that is rare in the world.
On the contrary, it will bring them a lot of infamy.
They said they were very happy about their success.
How can such a dam be used to control water? It is clearly to show off one's merits.
It is said that I should put it in the court and have a good discussion.
Then you will cause yourself some unnecessary trouble for no reason.
It's really unwise.
"Chang'an, let's forget about this matter."
"The court will definitely not agree."
"You just caused that incident in Wushan County. There are many people in the court who criticize you."
"If you continue to use this matter as a stumbling block, your contribution to disaster relief in the south will be flattened."
"It's better to think about this matter in the long run, and don't be reckless."
"The best policy is to resolve the troubles in the south as soon as possible and take the credit."
Although Li Changan and others belong to different forces, at least when it comes to disaster relief in the south, they are in the same boat.
Moreover, Li Changan has not been greedy for merit or independent work for such a long time, and everyone agrees with him.
I don’t want him to be plucked halfway because of an unrealistic dam.
And in this matter, they are one.
If Li Changan is severely criticized.
At that time, the entire Southern Patrol Division will be severely criticized.
They don't want to bear such sins and losses.
Li Changan was slightly silent.
There was unanimous opposition.
Even if he wanted to push it forcefully, it would be extremely difficult.
He had to consider money, labor, and the court's criticism.
There is also the Wenchang Monument in Wushan County...
Only when these problems are solved can the dam be truly built.
Li Changan put down the Thousand Miles Communication Talisman, stood up and left the study.
After everyone outside saw Li Changan, they all came forward to greet him.
Looks respectful.
"Where are the magistrates of the three counties of Wushan County?"
Li Changan asked.
"They are still locked up in the yard. Do you want to go down and bring them over?" his officer quickly replied.
"Separate them, I want to interrogate them personally." Li Changan waved his hand and said, "Take me to see the magistrate of Xilin County first."
Zhao Yunbo has been looking gloomy and gloomy since yesterday.
The luck dragon in Wushan County was suppressed.
Without the restriction of the Dragon God, the imperial court could run rampant in the three counties of Wushan County.
In this case, these three county magistrates may have reached their end.
It is only a matter of time before my future and destiny are completely ruined.
The sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the yard.
Zhao Yunbo's heart trembled suddenly, fearing that someone was coming to take his life.
Seeing the person coming, Zhao Yunbo's heart instantly became extremely cold.
This evil star has actually arrived!
Could it be that he really wants to take his own life!?
Li Changan walked into the room and motioned for everyone else to leave.
"I see that the county magistrate looks very worried. Could it be that something happened? Do you want Li to help the county magistrate solve it?"
Li Changan smiled and pulled up a chair to sit down and looked at Zhao Yunbo.
Zhao Yunbo smiled miserably. There were still some stains on his face, as if he hadn't washed himself in a few days.
"Li Chang'an, why do you need to ridicule me like this? If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."
Li Changan's eyes widened in surprise, "Mr. Zhao, what does this mean?"
"When did I say I was going to fight and kill?"
"Li came here just to solve Mr. Zhao's worries."
"In the future, Mr. Zhao will continue to serve as an official and bring benefits to others."
Zhao Yunbo's expression suddenly froze, and he looked at Li Changan in disbelief, "Li, Mr. Li, why did you say this?"
"You won't kill me?"
Li Changan smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Yunbo, "Mr. Zhao, please be patient. I am here just to help Mr. Zhao find a way out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yunbo's pupils seemed to have experienced a big earthquake, and then he rolled down from the bed and knelt in front of Li Changan.
"Li, Mr. Li, please save my life, Mr. Li!"
"The villain must take Sir Li as his guide!"
"Master Li only needs one life..."
Li Changan helped Zhao Yunbo up and patted Zhao Yunbo on the shoulder, "Master Zhao, don't be excited."
"The luck dragon in Wushan County has now been suppressed. It is imperative that the three counties be merged into one."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yunbo couldn't help but show a hint of sadness on his face.
The three counties had existed independently for eight hundred years. Now they were merged into one county and completely lost their former glory.
If my soul returns to the ground one day, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors?
"However, the imperial court has not issued a seal yet and has not taken action against the three counties. What do you think the reason is, Mr. Zhao?" Li Changan asked.
Zhao Yunbo thought for a while and then said, "People's sentiment? I heard that the Wenchang Monument has not been completely returned to its place."
Li Changan nodded noncommittally, "Does Mr. Zhao think that returning the Wenchang Monument to its place will be the problem?"
"Now Wushan County no longer has any power to deter the imperial court."
"As long as the assimilation lasts for a long time, if this generation fails, then the next generation will assimilate, and the three generations will assimilate, and the people of Osan County will naturally surrender."
"What do you think, Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Yunbo's face turned pale and he nodded with difficulty.
Indeed.
This is a complete conspiracy, and no one can resist it.
After three generations of assimilation, no problems will be a problem anymore.
That's a matter of decades.
Anyway, the luck dragon has been suppressed, and it is only a matter of time before he surrenders.
"The reason why the imperial court is not taking action is because the current situation does not require the imperial court to take action at all."
Li Changan continued,
"Wushan County will be changed to Wushan County. Official positions, people's livelihood, disaster relief, and flood control will all be solved by someone."
"The first prisoner of the Fourth Courtyard has long been eyeing the official position. If nothing else, someone from one of these five families must be sent."
"As for people's livelihood, disaster relief and flood control, the Southern Patrol Town and Fu Division will solve all these problems before letting others take over."
"The imperial court only needs to reap the benefits, and there is no need to expend any energy at this time."
Li Changan looked at Zhao Yunbo's changing expression, with a slight smile on his lips.
"Master Zhao, do you think if someone did all this, you would still have a way to survive?"
As soon as this question was asked, Zhao Yunbo's face turned pale.
If it really comes to this, he will have to die.
"Plop!"
Zhao Yunbo knelt down in front of Li Changan again and said hurriedly,
"Master Li, save me!"
"I, I still have three million taels of silver, one hundred thousand taels of gold, and Wenjing True Essence Stone at home..."
"There are hundreds of books on various grammars and martial arts."
"Yes, that's right, I still have half of the saint's scriptures. I would like to ask Mr. Li to save my life!"
