"Your Majesty, look, this is the Yellow River..."

In the Royal Imperial Garden, there is an exquisite pavilion, but Li Yun and the Emperor did not sit in the pavilion, but instead squatted beside the flowers and trees in front of the pavilion.

There is a small piece of mud under the flower tree. Li Yun held a branch in his hand and wrote and painted. Li Shimin next to him was holding Li Zhi who was still sleeping, and focused on looking at the reduced version of mountains, rivers and mountains drawn by Li Yun.

"Your Majesty, look, this is the Yellow River..."

Li Yun spoke again, and the branches slowly drifted across the ground. A thick curve represented the Yellow River. After drawing it, it seemed to have a surging smell.

In addition to a thick line representing the Yellow River, there are many small boxes representing fields. These fields are opened along the river, and the outer edges are mountains represented by small landblocks.

Then there are small stones used as cities and small cloth strips represent villages. Several caught grasshoppers are treated as wild animals in the mountains, and two or three mud-crushed villains stand in the fields.

This should be the first three-dimensional sand table in the world, with mountains, forests, birds, beasts, cities, and villages at a glance. Although it was created by Li Yun on the whim, the impact on the emperor was too huge.

The emperor squatted there intently watching, and even forgot to hold the sleeping Li Zhi in his arms. He suddenly exclaimed in surprise and said: "If this sand table can be fixed, wouldn't I be able to see the reduced version of the Tang Dynasty at all times?"

Because the sound was too loud, Li Zhidun in his arms was awakened. The little guy rubbed his sleepy eyes and pouted his mouth and made a crying sound.

This was the first reaction of the child when he woke up. Li Yun quickly reached out and brought the little guy over. He gently patted and comforted him with his hand, and slowly made Li Zhi wake up completely.

Li Shimin was a little disappointed and said with a shame: "I was too excited just now and forgot that Zhinu was still holding it in my arms. Haha, Zhinu, please don't cry. My father apologizes you."

Li Zhijiao pursed her lips and said that she had never cried, but her eyes were not blinking at the sand table on the ground. The little guy obviously wanted to go down and have fun.

Li Yun held Li Zhi with one hand, and picked up the branch with the other hand again. He pointed to the thick line representing the Yellow River on the ground with the branches, and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, look, the Yellow River Basin is wide, from west to east, like a giant dragon lying across the earth, it is the largest river in the northern part of the Central Plains..."

As he said that, he stopped slightly, and the branches in his hand stopped slightly, and stopped somewhere and said: "From here, the water level of the Yellow River becomes flat, and the water color begins to turn yellow. The entrained mud and sand slowly settle down. Precipitation is not a good thing. Siltation will raise the riverbed, so the Yellow River will break every once in a while, and in severe cases, it will even be directly diverted."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed and blurted out: "Once the break is broken and the route is changed, hundreds of thousands of people will be affected."

"More than that!"

Li Yun slowly breathed and said softly: "The Yellow River Flood covers a very wide range, but it is the most densely populated area. Once the Yellow River is diverted and broken, the entire northern part of the Central Plains will be affected."

Li Shimin nodded, staring at the place where Li Yun's branches paused, and pondered: "This is Wushan. Wushan has been called Shandong in the east. I just recalled the history books. It really records several times the Yellow River flooding. I used to only imagine when I was reading history, but I didn't have a clear concept or impression in my heart. Now, after looking at your three-dimensional sand table, I found that the so-called yellow flood area is really big and scary..."

He said that, and then said, "Good guy, covering the entire Henan Road, plus half of Hebei Road, can even affect Hedong Road, which is north of the Jianghuai River, which accounts for almost half of the territory of the entire Tang Dynasty."

The emperor's mouth twitched, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The Yellow River must not break the mouth."

Li Yun laughed and said, "The Yellow River Flood Zone is indeed very large. Once the Yellow River breaks, it will be a major disaster. But if you think about it, the Yellow River Flood Zone can be completely turned into an irrigation zone."

The yellow flood area becomes an irrigation area?

Li Shimin obviously hesitated for a moment and stared at the sand table again.

How to turn yellow flood areas into irrigation areas?

After thinking about it, there is only one way...

"I understand, I will repair the main canal!"

The emperor suddenly snatched the branch from Li Yun's hand, and then began to draw the line along the thick line of the Yellow River, and said while drawing: "For example, this is Taiyuan. If a giant trunk can be drawn, hundreds of thousands of acres of land can be watered. For example, this is Yizhou. If a trunk can be drawn, it can also irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and here, there... "

The emperor took the branches and drew more and more quickly, and the lines on the ground were getting more and more, gradually spreading the entire north of the earth, like a dense spider web.

Before we knew it, the flowers and trees in front of the pavilion surrounded many ministers.

The ministers did not dare to disturb Li Shimin, and they all held their breath and squatted on the ground and watched quietly.

The sand table made by Li Yun almost covers the entire northern part of the Tang Dynasty on the spot. Whether it is mountains, rivers, mountains, cities and villages, you can know where it is with a little comparison.

Li Shimin was still drawing lines, leading thin lines representing the main canal out of the Yellow River.

Sometimes, when marking a line, you need to pass through a small earth bundle. The branches in the emperor's hand slashed over without hesitation. A minister suddenly sucked out and said in shock: "My God, this is about to open up the mountain..."

Sometimes the marking needs to pass through an original line, and the branches in the emperor's hand still slashed without hesitation, so another minister gasped and shivered, "Your Majesty, you are going to join the river..."

Opening the mountain!

Along the river!

Everything is a big project that is scary.

However, the branches in Li Shimin's hand never stopped, and Li Yun stood beside him and never called for a stop.

One is the emperor and the other is the King of Zhao of the Western Palace. The two have unprecedentedly unified opinions and their eyes are full of perseverance.

As Li Shimin kept slitting the branches, the sand table on the ground had become a little messy, and a large net appeared in the northern part of the Central Plains, which were densely packed with artificial canals.

The lines look very small, but they are actually huge artificial rivers. If this project is really started, it would probably be as simple as recruiting three million civilians...

At that time, Emperor Yang of Sui only dug a Grand Canal, and the number of civilians recruited as many as one million. The Grand Canal mainly relies on the help of primitive rivers, but now the Tang Dynasty is trying to excavate out of thin air.

"Your Majesty, stop!"

The ministers finally couldn't bear it and all spoke to stop him, saying, "Although this matter is beneficial, the Tang Dynasty has no ability. If it insists on doing it, it will only drag down the Tang Dynasty."

Yes, it will only drag down the Tang Dynasty!

More than 500 giant trunks cover almost the entire north. Such a large project is no longer manpower, because it has involved the transformation of mountains and rivers.

At this time, Li Shimin was also frightened by his actions. He stared at the river net on the ground with the branches. The hundreds of dense thin lines made the emperor feel numb.

The emperor suddenly looked up at Li Yun and hesitated: "King Zhao of Xifu, tell me, can I live to the day of completion?"

Can I live to the day of completion?

This is a sign of no confidence.

It can make an emperor feel unconfident, which shows how terrifying this project is.

"His Majesty……"

Wei Zheng stood up from the crowd and spoke strongly against: "This matter must not be opened, it can only exist in fantasy. If you allow King Zhao to start this project, my country will be destroyed within ten years of the Tang Dynasty."

Old Man Wei's words were very unpleasant. He cursed the Tang Dynasty and would have destroyed the country. If this were the case, Li Shimin would have been furious. However, at this moment, the emperor's divine thoughts were not true. After hearing this, he nodded subconsciously.

Not only Wei Zheng opposed it, but other ministers also began to object. Even Lao Cheng and others who had previously supported Li Yun became hesitant when they looked at the sand table on the ground.

The project is too big, so big that manpower cannot be done.

In front of everyone, Li Yun kept smiling. He took all the expressions of the ministers, knowing how shocked these people were after seeing the sand table.

Just be shocked!

It's better to be afraid!

Only shock and fear can make people pay more attention to this matter.

Li Yun curled up a curve, and suddenly put Li Zhi in his arms on the ground. Then he half bent down and squatted in front of Li Zhi, and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhinu, do you want to play a game?"

"Big brother wants to play with me?"

The little guy was very excited and his tone became very surprised.

Li Yun turned his hand and pointed to the artificial lake not far from the Imperial Garden, and smiled and said, "Go and call a guard and ask him to make a bucket of water for you. Then take it to your brother, who will play games with you..."

Children all love to play, and Li Zhi is the same. The little guy cheered and stumbled over there.

At this time, there were people everywhere in the imperial garden, and countless female relatives were visiting the garden to enjoy the flowers. Li Zhi cheered all the way and quickly called a guard to help him fetch water.

The guard was also a clever man, and he specially helped the little prince find a small wooden barrel. This kind of small wooden barrel could only be filled with a can of water. Li Zhi stumbled and ran back.

The little guy was very happy, his face was red with excitement.

He stood in front of Li Yun with a small wooden barrel, tilting his little head to look forward to the next order.

"Fall down!"

Without hesitation, Li Yun pointed to the sand table in front of him.

Li Zhi's little face twitched, and he looked at the sand table in front of him in a daze.

Although he was a child, he knew that this was something that his father and elder brother had just made. This thing seemed to represent the north of the Tang Dynasty. If it was destroyed, would it make his father angry?

Li Yun snatched the branch from Li Shimin's hand, then pointed to the thick line representing the Yellow River, and said again: "Brother Zhinu, look at this place, raise your small wooden barrel, and fall down fiercely."

Li Zhi pursed his lips and said timidly: "Big brother, are you really going to fall down?"

"Fall down!"

Li Yun's eyes are very hard!

His tone is also very tough!

Li Zhi was almost scared to tears, but he tried hard to pursed his lips and refused to cry. The little guy took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to pick up the small wooden barrel.

With a rush.

The small wooden barrel was only a scoop of water, but the sand tray was surging.

The scoop of water washed away the thick line representing the Yellow River and washed away the small stones representing the city...

The small soil buns representing the mountains also collapsed, and the mud and sand mixed with water flow rushed into the fields!

A few mud-kneaded villains fell directly, indicating that the strips of the pedestrians were trapped in the water.

Just a small game, all the ministers present changed their colors.

Li Yun's voice resounded throughout the audience, and he said in a quiet tone: "The Yellow River has become a river hanging on the ground. Once the mouth is broken, it will be the scene in front of you. I want to ask you all, are you afraid of this scene in front of you?"

Wei Zheng suddenly stood up and said loudly to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I want to take off my position as a court official. I will go to Hebei to become an official. I will only do one big thing for my entire life."

Li Shimin had a bright look and asked in a deep voice: "Wei Qing is going to dig the Yellow River?"

Wei Zheng focused his head and said with a firm face: "The old minister is going to dig the Yellow River..."

This advisor who most opposed digging the Yellow River was the first to stand up to support digging the Yellow River. Not only did he support digging the Yellow River, but he also wanted to throw the rest of his life there.

All the opposition disappeared in a small game between Li Yun and Li Zhi.
