Anti-theft chapter, replaced tomorrow morning
Please come back later tomorrow
**************
Gongshu Jin smiled all the way, and was very satisfied with Gongshu Nian's performance today.
Especially if he can really achieve results in water control, then his position as a loser, Yin will be saved.
In the black carriage of Gongshu Mansion, Gongshu Jin patted his son's broad shoulders and encouraged him, "Do work hard and don't embarrass our Sigong Mansion!"
"Yes, father."
Gongshunian saw his father's kind expression for the first time, and his neck shrank.
Gongshu Jin shook his head when he saw this, "Be brave, you are so timid, but you are not good at it."
"Yeah, father." Gongshunian nodded repeatedly.
, encouraged Gongshunian to encourage him, "Don't be afraid, follow me!"
Gongshunian rubbed his fat hands nervously and focused his head, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
"Jing'an, you will wait for the spread in the hall later."
"Yes, young master."
But at this moment, Cheng Jia smiled indifferently and said again: "Your Majesty, I have something to present to the king about the disaster relief that the two masters said just now."
Seeing that it was Cheng Jia, the King of Chu frowned slightly and felt a little headache.
What else can I say about this morning court?
"Oh, what is Cheng's dear gift?" The King of Chu asked lazily on the jade pedestal.
Ling Yin Ziban also asked curiously. He saw Cheng Jia bringing an unknown thing to court together before he went to court.
"It is the water meridian map made by Master Gong Yin's son!"
Cheng Jia looked up and replied, her eyes colliding with Mi Huang who was looking back.
One of them frowned and moved away quickly, the other nodded and smiled.
What are you laughing at!
Mi Huang frowned and said to herself.
When the King of Chu heard this, he said curiously, "Shui Jingtu? Take a look, Huang'er, come and take a look."
"Yes, Father."
Mi Huang took the order and stepped forward and supported the King of Chu.
"Master, please see, the grandmother, this is the latest water meridian sand table map drawn by Gongshu Gongshu based on the current water meridian map of Gongzheng Mansion and the memories of the grandson who had been in the Huaihe River for many years."
Cheng Jia ordered Jing'an to uncover the red silk, revealing the huge water-passing sand table below, and explaining the mountains and rivers of the State of Chu to the ministers.
The father and daughter circled the water meridian map twice and found that the map was not a map, and it was extremely large, one zhang long and one zhang wide, and had mountains and rivers, almost covering the entire Chu State's mountain and rivers and landforms, and it was very clear. Even the counties and counties were marked with large and small squares.
Gongshu Jin heard that it was painted by his unhappy son, and he couldn't help but come forward curiously.
The ministers walked up and saw that this picture clearly marked the Huaihe area, which was the worst hit in the Chu State for many years, and was clear at a glance.
Even ministers who do not know how to control water can see one or two problems.
"King, this picture is very good!"
The Yin Ziyuan looked happy, "With this picture, we will get twice the result with half the effort when we manage it."
The King of Chu didn't understand, but Zipan said it would be good, so he nodded, "Yes, not bad."
"King, now that our Chu State has defeated Yong State, all the countries respect it. As long as we take this opportunity to rest and recuperate with the people, reduce taxes on affected counties, and manage floods in various places, our national strength will definitely increase greatly." Cheng Jia said slowly.
"Water control?"
The King of Chu was hesitant, "It costs a lot of money, many years!"
"Father, the floods of the Great Jianghuai River are like beasts, which harm the people of our Chu State every year, and even attracted the covetousness of Yong State for our Chu State, leading to the three-year battle of Chu Yong. If the Great Jianghuai River is not governed for one day, even if the Yong State is destroyed, it will definitely attract the Qin State that is looking down on the Dan, Ba State and even Jin State to take advantage of the situation, which will definitely hinder the father's plan to go north to dominate the Central Plains." Mi Huang said in a timely manner with the arm of the King of Chu.
Some words are to be said by some people.
Double the result with half the effort.
When the King of Chu heard that there was a major plan that hindered him, he frowned.
Cheng Jia looked at Mi Huang who spoke for the first time, nodded and continued, "What the Taiwo said is that the title of the king will be remembered for a hundred generations, no less than the title of defeating Jin, and it can provide the most stable rear for our Chu State to defeat Jin. It is better to explain it by Prince Ling."
Gong Shujin was shocked when he heard this, and then looked at the legitimate son who had only hiding in the house and making messy gadgets since he was a child. He first stepped back, and then pushed down by Cheng Jia and took a step forward.
He bowed with courage and said, "King, the Huaihe River is often the source of flooding! And this grandson at the source pointed out to us a depression between Qisi and Yulou. If the heavy rain only lasts for two or three days, it can often store water to provide water for the upstream to irrigate the farmland. If there is no excessive rainy season this year, the harvest will be excellent. But if the heavy rains continued that year, it will flood and affect the downstream. So we studied for several days. If the depressions are deep here to form a lake, then build an earth dam to block it, and at the same time, dig ditches along the lake to divert water to the farmland on both sides of the shore."
"On the first place can be used to store water and irrigate the upstream, and on the other hand, it can prevent flow to the downstream during flooding."
As soon as this statement was made, Gongshu Jin, who had been responsible for water conservancy for many years, immediately had his eyes lit up, "A Nian's method is very good. If a lake is built here, not only will the floods in the lower reaches of the Huai River in Chu State be eliminated immediately, but the grain output will definitely double. At that time, the king will have a granary for fighting in the world. It seems that being a father has really underestimated you for so many years, which is good."
"The grandson was garrisoning the army there for many years, and he mentioned these." Gongshunian was praised by his father for the first time in his life, and he touched his head and giggled.
Gongshu Jin glared slightly when he heard this. He pushed all the credits from the hall to others. He was indeed a stupid son.
"Ao is just a rough man and doesn't know anything. But when I mentioned the situation I saw, it was all the things Gongshu himself thought about." Sun Shuao came forward and said after hearing this.
The emperor looked at the second son like a yinzi, nodded with a smile, "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, if this plan is successful, what are the worries about our Chu State's defeat in Jin?"
"Okay, if this matter can be accomplished, my plan to go north will definitely be accomplished!"
The King of Chu laughed.
Now he only cares about one major event in the court, which is that he went north to attack Jin in his lifetime, and his father became the king with his own blood and dominated the major princes.
"Do you two dare to take this great task for our Chu State to solve the problem for a hundred years?"
Ling Yinzipan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two of them and asked.
"Ao has been favored by the king for generations and must be loyal to the country. No one dares to refuse if he has a destiny." Sun Shuao was the first to step forward to receive the order.
"The Gongshu Nian is willing to do it."
Gongshunian stepped forward and said in his father's passionate gaze.
Any century-old plan cannot be chosen to be a credible person, it is just a talk of ideals.
The eyes of the Yin Zi fell deeply on Sun Shuao and Gongshunian, and finally fell on Cheng Jia with deep meaning.
Very good, very good.
If the flood can be successfully treated.
Chu State's dominance is in sight.
Chapter completed!
