"Master, you really want to dig the Yellow River..."

"Of course I have to dig, has the wind been released?"

"I've let it go, but I'm afraid no one will believe it. Digging the Yellow River is too scary. I guess few fools will be fooled."

"Why were you deceived? This time, I didn't lie. I said I would dig the Yellow River, so I dug the Yellow River!"

"Hohoho, master, every time you say you don't lie, it's when you want to lie. Cheng Chumo is now as smart as a monkey, so I won't be fooled by you!"

"Is that so, you are so smart? Well, for your teacher, ride a monkey on the tree and a monkey on the ground..."

"Ah hahaha, so simple, eight!"

Good boy, you've really become smarter!

...

On the bank of the Yellow River, the sound of water was surging, and a big turtle was having fun in the waves, and there were two young people walking slowly on the bank.

Two years have passed, Li Yun and Cheng Chumo are both eighteen years old, and it is a bit inappropriate to call a boy. This is a dignified young man.

The master and apprentice walked slowly along the Yellow River, blew the cool tide wind on the river bank comfortably. Cheng Chumo had just answered eight monkeys, and the answer was definitely wrong. Erlangzi suddenly became confused and took off his hands and kept calculating.

Li Yun was very proud and thought that it would be useless if you calculate correctly. I am the master and you are the apprentice. If you can't even hold back, how can I still be in this world?

He had made up his mind that if Cheng Chumo came up with the correct answer, he would play the trick of holding a stone to smash the TV. If Cheng Chumo didn't know what TV was, it could be changed to picking up a stone to smash the person's head. With a bang, he asked, why the head was fine, if Cheng Chumo could answer it, it would be fine. Keep doing it again, just fool the virus to occupy the high ground, and from then on, Cheng Chumo became a cripple.

The master and apprentice are actually not like masters and apprentices. Instead, they have a kind of friendship with each other. Cheng Chumo respects him as a master, but is not as reserved as others. Although Li Yun regards Cheng Chumo as his apprentice, he only treats him as an apprentice when teaching knowledge. Even when teaching knowledge, he will not be arrogant. He usually uses the method of chatting with friends.

For example, today is like this. The master and apprentice walked along the Yellow River, occasionally teasing each other, bragging and fucking from time to time, the master relaxed, and the apprentice was not under pressure.

At this time, Cheng Chumo suddenly stopped and said sadly: "I haven't seen Li Chongyi for more than a year. Fang Yiai was also called back to Chang'an, and Yuchi Baolin. It is said that he was promoted to a general of Yamen. He was already a fifth-rank general at the age of nineteen. Liu Renshi is now working in the Ministry of War and has also become a fifth-rank official. The five people played every day, and now I am still with you."

Li Yun also stopped, his tone remained the same, and looked at Cheng Chumo and said, "Are you jealous of their official positions?"

"Not envious!"

Cheng Chumo shook his head and said, "I just envy their efforts for the fruitful results."

As he said, he stopped and said, "Actually, even if we don't fight, we can inherit the title of our family. However, people live in this world and live in a hurry, they always feel uncomfortable. At the beginning, the five of us were laughing and playing, but in a blink of an eye, they all relied on themselves to get official positions. Only I am still white and hang out in Hebei every day. Sometimes when others call me "Duke Cheng Xiaoguo, I feel like I'm thrusting my ears..."

This also means being a little jealous of the other four people.

Li Yun pondered for a while and suddenly said, "If you are really envious, you can recommend it to you. Chang'an has a tax yamen built in our tax yamen. If I recommend it myself, Your Majesty will definitely agree. At that time, you will be in charge of the tax yamen, and you will also be a fifth-rank boss."

Cheng Chumo quickly shook his head and said with a serious expression: "My father said, you are not allowed to leave you before the age of twenty-five. If I dare to leave the master's sect, the Cheng family will pretend that I don't have my son."

The Cheng family doesn’t have his son?

That means expelling from the house!

Li Yun was stunned for a long time and said with emotion: "There are 47 Dukes of the Tang Dynasty, your father is definitely the smartest one. We met at the age of sixteen, and he asked you to follow me until you were 25 years old. This is determined to let you learn everything before you allow me to leave me..."

Cheng Chumo grabbed his forehead and suddenly said, "Master, do you really want to dig the Yellow River?"

He asked this before!

Li Yun walked to the river with his hands behind his back, looked at the surging Yellow River, and said leisurely: "Eight hundred years ago, the Yellow River was not called the Yellow River. The Wei Feng of the Book of Songs had clouds, and the river water was clear and rippling; Five hundred years ago, the river water had turned yellow, and it was recorded that the river water was heavy and turbid, and it was called one stone water and six dou of mud; by the Sui Dynasty, the water of the Yellow River was even more turbid. Due to the entrainment of a large amount of mud and sand, the riverbed was constantly silted too high. Now it is higher than the ground, and the people are gradually known as a river hanging on the ground. People on both sides are worried that the Yellow River will break, so they can only continue to raise the riverbed. However, the symptoms and not the root cause will be treated, and the Yellow River will always break a day..."

Cheng Chumo is not all a fool now. He thought to himself after hearing this: "So Master, do you want to dig the Yellow River and turn the natural break into a man-made break?"

"This is just the first purpose!"

Li Yun continued to look at the Yellow River and explained: "The Yellow River veins are huge and are actually the largest river in the northern part of the Central Plains. If we can use this river water, we will irrigate more than Hebei Road. Whether in Henan or Shandong, we will benefit from it."

He stopped here and then said: "I have been estimating this matter in the past two years. I estimate that we have to build at least 500 giant trunks, of which 400 are used to divert river water, and 100 are used to deposit silt silt and sand. This is a killing effect of killing two birds with one stone. After sediment is settled, fields can be built. The Yellow River will reduce silt and sand will not break. The water flow leads to the entire north and can irrigate tens of millions of acres of land..."

Five hundred giant trunks?

Cheng Chumo couldn't help but be shocked.

He walked to Li Yun and stood, looking at the Yellow River from afar, and said, "If this matter is really started, it may be the largest project in history!"

"That's natural!" Li Yun smiled and said, "In the time of Emperor Yang of Sui, he dug the Grand Canal and recruited millions of civilians. However, the Grand Canal connected many of the original rivers by tricks, so it was completed in just a few years. But what we have to do is to create something out of nothing and directly open 500 giant trunks on the earth. It is said that it is a trunk, but it is actually wider than an ordinary river. Once this matter is completed, Zebei will be one thousand years later."

Cheng Chumo was obviously stunned by this grand goal.

The guy was stunned for a long time, and suddenly murmured, and realized something: "No wonder my father didn't allow me to go back to Chang'an. Only with the master could he do a feat that was famous throughout the ages. Unfortunately, Li Chongyi and the others were not here, and the fathers of those guys were not good enough. He was so thief. I really wanted to call them back. Everyone should do this together and be motivated to do it."

Li Yun laughed and said, "Don't worry, they will come back, dig the Yellow River and build a giant canal. It's not enough to rely on us alone. This time, my master will tie up the entire Tang Dynasty."

Cheng Chumo suddenly became excited and shouted anxiously: "What are you waiting for? Start quickly. You are their master, and your status is equivalent to your parents. As long as you come forward and call each other, the four bastards must come back. No matter how much their father stops them, they will have to rush back to Hebei Road."

Li Yun waved his hand at him and said meaningfully: "They are actually my secret promises. Otherwise, do you think their father is really short-sighted? They are cooperating as teachers to hide their weaknesses. They were planning to act in a big show of falling in love, but later they thought it was not necessary to act."

Cheng Chumo didn't quite understand this.

Although Cheng Chumo has grown a lot, he is not good at fighting after all. He is too straightforward and is born to be unable to learn to bend around.

Li Yun explained to him carefully: "I am the King of Zhao of Xifu. I own the entire Hebei Road and hold the Fanyang Trading Center in my hand. It is not an exaggeration to say that wealth is as good as a country. But I also accepted the legitimate sons of the five generals as their apprentices. This influence is too great. Think about it carefully, what do you five represent?"

Cheng Chu pondered for a long time, and said with a little uncertainty: "My father, General of Right Wu Guard, General of Yuchi Baolin, General of Right Wu Guard, and his father, Liu Renshi, is in charge of Weiwei Temple, one of the nine temples in the court. Not to mention Fang Yiai's father, the first among civil officials, Li Chongyi himself is the little prince, and his father is the prince of Hejian, the first prince, who is in charge of Yongzhou Prefecture, and holds the seal of military power."

I don’t know if I don’t say it, but when I say it, I’m shocked. The fathers of the five apprentices are all in high positions, and the forces they unite are indeed a bit scary.

Cheng Chumo turned to look at Li Yun, and suddenly realized, "It turns out that the four of them left was their father who hid their weaknesses in order to cooperate with the master!"

Li Yun smiled without saying a word, encouraging him to continue thinking.

Cheng Chumo pondered for a long time and suddenly said, "There is also something that you want to hand over the Emperor's Sword, Master, this is also a matter of hiding your weakness, so as not to attract criticism. You once told me that fighting in the court is not as good as fighting in the battlefield. Just look at it with a knife on the battlefield, but the court must follow the rules. Even if the world is invincible, you cannot do it."

Li Yun was very pleased and nodded and said, "Taking over the Emperor's Sword is only the first step. In the future, I will also push the position of the marching chief executive, and the commander-in-chief of Youyan Land. This position cannot be taken. I will only retain the status of a prince, so that I can be light and light without an official position."

Cheng Chumo was obviously a little reluctant, and suddenly said, "I received a letter from Chang'an a few days ago, saying that many concubines in the harem were ready to go, especially those concubines who had princes. They all wanted to change their children to their fiefdoms. Master, Hebei Road was poor before, but we had to work hard to change our old appearance. We were not very rich yet, so those people wanted to jump out and pick peaches."

"Pick it!"

Li Yun didn't care and smiled faintly: "This was deliberately picked by the teacher, but I only gave them a false reputation. You can be the chief marching manager of Hebei Road, and you can be the chief magistrate of Youyan Land, but you can only be the false reputation and you cannot point fingers at government affairs."

Cheng Chumo pinched his chin and said a little worriedly: "I'm afraid that they don't know how to restrain themselves. They still want to get real benefits after gaining their reputation. If they want to get real benefits, they must stretch out their claws..."

"Stand it!"

Li Yun smiled faintly again, and suddenly asked him with a deep meaning, "What is the purpose of our master?"

Cheng Chumo was stunned at first, then he laughed strangely and said, "Perish people with virtue!"
