About ten days flew by in a blink of an eye.

During these ten days, Zhang Shao was with Yang Ganniwai almost every day, and understood what he was thinking.

Yang Qian's request is very simple, that is, the Central Plains should be peaceful and not cause so many things.

"What the hell~~~~!"

An official document was torn into pieces.

As the number of official documents increased, Yang Qian's pressure increased day by day.

It's not a matter of the number of official documents, but Shuihu and Shi Huacai are rushing them almost every two days.

Zhang Shao was frightened by Yang Gan's appearance.

"Your Majesty, what's going on here?"

"Ouch~~!"

Yang Gan directly pulled out his dragon-slaying knife and chopped the case into pieces, destroying the official documents on it as well.

In just a few minutes, a new desk was brought in, and Moshashi quickly took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and handed it to Yang Qian.

After several soldiers threw the cases outside, a voice came in.

"Oh, this time I chopped it into more pieces than last time."

Zhang Yumeng got dressed and walked in from outside.

"There's something wrong with you. In more than ten days, you cut off three cases, and that's all money."

After saying that, Zhang Yumeng said softly to Zhang Shao, who was as frightened as a quail.

"Zhang Shao, don't worry, Yang Qian has this temper, just let it out."

Zhang Shao nodded. He had heard about it the last two times, but had never seen it with his own eyes.

Yang Gan finished blowing the beer in one breath and said angrily to Zhang Yumeng, "Look, Shui Hu and Shi Huacai are two bastards."

"If you push me slave every day, can I change it?"

"The construction of the straights and tracks only has the final construction period, so no one can be spared at all. Even after the construction is completed, the entire process needs to be maintained."

Yang Gan pointed in the direction of the seaside and said angrily, "There are also shipyards and the official roads of Wanghai County and Yuntong County. One hundred thousand slaves can't even get out."

"I've even started using it on my female slaves. These two bastards are urging me to death every day!!!"

Yang Qian walked around the new case several times, but still felt confused and called Xiao Yu in.

"Yu'er, contact Shi Huacai and Shui Hu immediately. Each of them will give me five sticks, no, ten sticks. The bastard is pushing me every day. My blood pressure has been high these days."

"What is this called? This is murder. They are murdering my health!"

Xiao Yu had no choice but to go to the back tent and start calling to notify.

Zhang Shao whispered, "Your Majesty, how long is this canal?"

In Zhang Shao's eyes, the canal is nothing more than a tool that allows the country to transport grain conveniently.

It's almost only tens to hundreds of miles, and the more powerful ones are only one or two hundred miles, which is already very powerful.

Of course, there are some hundreds of miles of canals, but these canals were not built overnight. It took Guizhou leaders and people to build them and it took two or three kings to complete them.

Feeling that Shuihu and Shi Huacai should be beaten at this time, Yang Gan's mood suddenly improved a lot. After sitting down, he smiled.

"It's not that much, it's only 3,200 miles long, from Yuntong to Taihuang County!"

"Plop~~~!"

"Kneel down to the boss~~~!"

Zhang Shao was speechless. Is this considered showing off? It’s only 3,200 miles away. Is this human talk?

"I wonder, how much food does it cost, slave?"

Yang Gan waved his hand, "It's not much. I took the lead in allocating 500,000 gold. Food and grass are easy to find, but only one million dan. The most important thing now is the shortage of slaves."

"According to the plan, a minimum of 700,000 slaves are needed, but I only have 160,000 slaves there at the moment, and by the way, there are also soldiers guarding the slaves."

"You are very worried, does my father know?"

Zhang Shao has nothing to say anymore, how rich is Yuntong.

To put it bluntly, this money alone is enough to arm hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the teeth. They can take it at any time. This kind of heroic spirit can only be found in large vassal states.

It is impossible for small vassal states to come up with so much gold at once.

Zhang Shao nodded and said, "No wonder your Majesty is so eager to stabilize the Central Plains."

Yang Gan looked depressed, "Damn it, if the Three Kingdoms hadn't kept moving, I would have already organized the army and set off."

"Alas~~~! Your Majesty, actually, building canals has always been a thankless task. Most of the canals built by the princely states are for transporting food or marching and fighting."

"Why would you, Your Majesty, bother with such a mess, spend countless money and food, and be jealous of the court? Why bother?"

Yang Gan smiled and said, "Zhang Shao, don't you understand this? Once the canal is built, the cost of water transportation will be extremely low, which will not only stabilize the price of food across the country."

"It can also play a role in reducing losses in collecting taxes."

"Our Xia Kingdom adopts a parallel system of prefectures and states. Now the prefectures and states are divided. After the canal is opened, power can be centralized and the possibility of civil strife will be greatly reduced compared to the other three countries."

"Not to mention other benefits. I paid for this myself. Then the benefits of the canal will be in the future, such as food, goods, trade..."

"Hiss~~~!"

Zhang Shao calculated carefully and found that he was drowning in the ocean of numbers, and his annual profits were astronomical.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have been fully prepared in the past few days. As long as I go to Xingguo, I will be eight levels sure that Xingguo can withdraw."

Yang Gan shook his head and said, "Han Jingtong is a legalist and a master of magic. Unfortunately, he is not good at planning. He only has a perseverance."

"However, there are always contingencies. I am afraid that your trip may be dangerous, sir. When the king's decree comes down, I will give you a gift, a gift that can save your life."

Zhang Shao had no doubt that he was there, and he was moved and said, "Your Majesty treats me as a national scholar, and I will repay you as a national scholar."

Yang Gan stood up, put his hands behind his back, turned his head towards Zhang Shao, and sighed secretly.

This ancient way of showing off is really enjoyable.

"Sir, the world has been suffering from peace for a long time. Unification is the only way out. If you, sir, can break the art of unifying the three kingdoms, you will be of great merit."

Zhang Shao suddenly knelt down and his eyes were wild, "I, Zhang Shao, will follow you in this life, even to the death."

"Well, back off!"

"promise!"

Zhang Yumeng came to Yang Gan and said with emotion, "A man in his thirties is still traveling around the world. How can he be so simple?"

Yang Gan sneered and said, "Simple? Not necessarily. Rather than saying it's simple, it's better to say that he specializes in the art and puts all his brain power into the art of connecting horizontal lines."

"By the way, Yang Qian, what exactly is this He Zong Lian Heng thing? Is it so awesome?"

Yang Gan smiled and said, "He Zong refers to the alliance of weak countries to deal with strong countries, which is the plan formulated by Han Jingtong, to unite Shang Guo, Liao Guo, and Xing Guo to deal with our Xia State. Once there, followers will gather, which means that our Xia State will face To the entire Central Plains.”

"Lianheng refers to a weak country following a strong country to attack other weak countries."

"Of course, this is just a general overview. It doesn't have to be this way. It can also be adapted to local conditions and the times!"

Zhang Yumeng nodded suddenly, "So he's a diplomat."

Yang Qian nodded and said, "Don't underestimate these beasts. Strategists are not simple. Often the words of a powerful strategist can be worth a hundred thousand troops."

"Then you say, Zhang Shao is fine, right?"

Yang Gan looked at Zhang Shao walking away, shook his head and said, "Who knows if there is a problem, but eggs cannot be put in one basket."

"Then are you going to fight Goguryeo? Don't talk about you on the other side of the canal. I'm tired of it."

Yang Qianqi said, "You think it's too fussy, just call me here."

Zhang Yumeng sneered and said, "Ask Xiao Yu yourself. That bastard Shuihu is thinking about the crane I mentioned every day. He has urged you five or six times, and he has also urged me three or four times at least. It is very troublesome."

Yang Gan pinched his chin, pursed his lips and shook his head, "No, Goguryeo can't fight now."

"The most important thing for us now is how to swallow up the four counties."

"Only when the four counties are swallowed and digested, can the five counties be twisted into a rope."

"Actually, haven't you noticed? The number of soldiers in Yuntong County has almost reached its limit. If we recruit more troops, I'm afraid there will be no men left in the entire county."

"Impossible, there are 150,000 soldiers, and some of them are not from Yuntong County."

Yang Gan pointed at Zhang Yumeng's head, "Are you stupid? Many of my soldiers are hidden in the slave camp."

"It is said to be 150,000 to the outside world, but in fact it is at least 200,000 away now. There are no soldiers to guard it. If those slaves are in chaos, we will not be able to live in peace."

Zhang Yumeng suddenly became furious and walked towards the back.

"Okay, okay, oh, you're going to solve this messy thing that's annoying me to death. Anyway, as long as I'm as beautiful as a flower, I'll be fine as a vase."

Yang Qian came over immediately and pulled Zhang Yumeng, hurriedly.

"Hey, as agreed, I will manage the territory and you will help me with the technology, but you can't just let it go."
