Chapter 522 Characters (addition for the leader "sjkxjkk")
The mouth of the Baohe Valley in Hanzhong.

Li Xia and Zhang Jue are inspecting the situation of Shanheyan.

A few days ago, there were several spring rains, and the road was muddy. A group of people walked on the mountain road with their horses, and their boots were already heavy with mud.

"Generally speaking, water conservancy should be built in winter. One is when the water is dry, and the other is when the agriculture is slack. At this time, if corvees are required to build mountains and river weirs, it will delay spring plowing, which is not suitable."

Li Xia said: "Since that's the case, how about recruiting refugees from other places and hiring them to build the dam?"

"Where does the money come from?"

"There are a lot of materials left by the Mongolian army in Hanzhong."

"Feiyu neither intends to repay the merits, nor does he intend to keep it privately? The serious crime of corruption of ink, but only for the repair of water conservancy and farmland? A bad one is not only a crime of corruption of ink."

"Brother Junyu just needs to say, is it possible?"

Zhang Jue thought for a while, then said slowly: "I also feel that I am embarrassed, but I have to ask again, Feiyu has worked so hard, is she really not afraid that something will happen and she will be transferred from Hanzhong?"

The corner of Li Xia's clothes got stuck on a tree branch, and he stopped to untie it, and replied: "If you say it openly, you can do as much as you can for the people."

Zhang Jue smiled, and asked again: "Then what about speaking sincerely?"

"I have arranged 21 plans, and more than five can be realized, so things can be determined."

With a sound of "click", Li Xia couldn't get out the corner of his clothes, so he simply broke off the branch, continued to walk forward, and said: "It's time, Your Majesty has summoned me to be the Commander of Shu."

Zhang Jue couldn't believe it, but he believed it anyway, and said with a smile: "Then congratulate Commander Shu."

Li Xia accepted it calmly, and didn't say anything about seeking an official for Zhang Jue.

"I suddenly had some feelings. If Brother Junyu feels something wrong, just forget it."

"Don't worry, Feiyu, but it's okay to say."

Li Xia said: "Ding Daquan probably thinks so about the appointment of Commander Shu... the old man opened his mouth and won such a high position for Li Feiyu."

Zhang Jue asked, "It's not bad."

"Wrong." Li Xia said: "This position has never been awarded to me by anyone."

He raised his hand and pointed to the south.

"How many robes died on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, to expel the captives who invaded their homeland, not for someone to seek high officials. I am the commander of Shu, because I am confident that I can lead them to defend the country."

Zhang Jue nodded.

The mountains and rivers in front of him are beautiful, and he can no longer see the bones of those comrades.

Li Xia said: "I'm afraid there are too many people in Lin'an City who still think that these are graces. Li Feiyu is so young and has no qualifications. What a great kindness and virtue he can be unconventional and supportive?"

"Feiyu, you..."

Li Xia's expression was very calm, and he did not seem cynical.

"I made a slip of the tongue, but I just feel that those thoughts have desecrated countless heroic souls."

Zhang Jue raised his head and looked at the sky after the rain, as if he was looking for the heroic spirit who was floating outside and died in battle.

After a long time, he sighed.

"Feiyu is beating my back bone little by little."

"Back bone?"

Zhang Jue smiled and didn't answer.

"I'm far away, so let's talk about it." He pointed to the mountain road ahead, and said, "Since I have arrived in Hanzhong, I have to mention the story of Shu Han. Prime Minister Zhuge once built river and mountain weirs to garrison Hanzhong. But Yu Yu knows, where is this weir? from time to time?"

Li Xia said: "Han Xiangguo Binghou and Yihou started the creation, Xiao He and Cao Can."

To be in charge of Hanzhong, he must have an understanding of Hanzhong. Recently, he has read a lot of local chronicles.

"I have calculated that if the mountains and river weirs are restored, more than a thousand hectares of fields can be irrigated."

Zhang Jue was also diligent, and smiled knowingly: "Six years in Shaoxing, Wu Jie town Hanzhong, built mountains and river weirs, and camped 850 four hectares of land."

"Yes, the annual grain harvest is 25 shi." Li Xia said, "And if the six weirs are completely repaired, more than 30 mu of fields can be irrigated."

Zhang Jue only saw Shanheyan in the local chronicles for the time being, and couldn't help feeling ashamed that he was not as diligent as Li Xia.

Along the way, it was Li Xia who spoke more often.

"The benefits of repairing mountains and rivers and weirs are far more than just irrigated fields. During the Shaoxing period, after Wu Jie repaired the weirs, tens of thousands of households from the north were attracted to settle in Hanzhong. Brother Junyu thinks that it is a population of 10, and the national strength rises and falls. , wouldn’t it be better than a big victory? Or how many big victories can have such a big harvest?”

Zhang Jue asked, "Is there another thing that Feiyu can think about? It takes so much manpower and material resources to irrigate the fields. But it is exempted for three years. After three years, the tax is [-]%. There will be insufficient money and food in the future."

"I don't think so." Li Xia said: "There must be a total amount of money and food for the people and the money and food for the government. The more the government, the less the people, and vice versa. When you use troops, you need to collect more money; At this time, it is a rare opportunity to recuperate with the people."

"Will the Inner Mongols attack again in three years?"

"They can't take care of themselves." Li Xia said: "This is the only chance. We need a large population and...creativity. In other words, raise the total money and grain of the people and the government."

Too many strange words, Zhang Jue began to meditate.

"Reducing the tax is the best way to attract the population and motivate the people. If the tax is reduced, the money and food will not be in the treasury, but it is not less, but more. Where is it? In the homes of the people, then they will protect Their property resisted vigorously; in the stomachs of the common people, they were no longer so thin and weak that they would collapse when the wind blows.

It's rare that we don't need to recruit too many troops for the time being, it's so rare.During this period of time, every civilian husband who cultivates the people's acres can become our soldier.They will be good sons, stronger and more determined good sons.

The truth is just four words, and the wealth is hidden in the people.It's easy to say, but it's not difficult to do, just a little less selfishness, a little less comfort, that's all.But I think few people in the world can do it. If we can do it, the country will be rich and the people strong. "

After Li Xia finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Of course, what I said may not be right. I have never governed such a large place. There must be many mistakes. It's okay. If you make mistakes, correct them. Keep learning, keep thinking, keep doing.”

Zhang Jue just kept looking at Li Xia.

It's like falling in love with him...but it's definitely not.

Li Xia calmly let him stare and walked forward.

Passing around a mountain depression, he suddenly said: "It's almost here... The Shanhe Weir is divided into three dams, and the main road has been built for six years. They are all overflow dams, and the upper reaches of the dams have their own canals to divert water, divert the flow to irrigate the fields, and divide them into six dams. Water distribution. It’s not easy to understand on paper. After reading it today, I still need to find a way to invite a lot of talents who understand water conservancy...”

~~
Li Xia is working hard to learn how to build water conservancy.

In the past, he thought he could have many inventions, but later he felt that he was not.

For example, he wanted to build a gun, but he didn't understand the principle of guns at all, so he said, "Let's build a gun first, a pipe, and fireballs will be shot out of it."

Then a craftsman picked up a bamboo bazooka and asked, "Is this what the county captain said?"

People in the Song Dynasty also knew the principle, gunpowder drives the shell.But how to cast a barrel strong enough to withstand the explosive force?How to mine and refine materials with sufficient toughness?How to finely forge?
Li Xia gradually discovered that many things he knew had been thought of by smart people.

Even when Jiang Cang went to the workshop to play, he whimsically proposed to use an iron house to restrain the cavalry, which almost had the prototype of a tank...but there was no power.

Even if there is power, there is no material strong enough to make bearings to withstand such a strong power.

It was as if someone from the future came to Li Xia and said, "We can build a robot that is exactly like a real person, didn't you think of it?"

"Just pretend I didn't think of it, how do I make it?"

"It's very simple, I'll tell you the general principle, and you build one..."

An invention involves all aspects, including the most basic manpower... Eat your fill first.

Of course, someone else might be able to do it, but Li Xia's knowledge is limited.

He must have pushed for these.Maybe you can make grenades, bazookas, maybe you can't.After all, it needs to conform to the productivity of the entire era.

When certain conditions are met, the invention he mentioned can be realized by leaps and bounds.

In short, Li Xia never thought that in just over ten years, he could rely on these objects to save the fate of a country.

……

Then, Li Xia didn't come to teach people how to do things, he should learn how to do things.

Learn to survive, learn to lead soldiers, learn strategies, learn tricks, and even learn how to get along, husband and wife relationship... Now, learn how to manage people's livelihood.

The only thing that makes him different from others, the most fundamental thing, is his ideas.

is not an object.

Objects are used by people, who have ideas and keep improving.

Li Xia is Shushuai... Although he has not been officially appointed, but after he regards himself as Shushuai, he must first do things for others.

People rely on food as their heaven.

Food is dug from the ground.

The ground must be watered.

If you don't talk about water conservancy, everything is in vain.

The logic is very simple, Li Xia doesn't even need to look to future generations, he just needs to learn from the outstanding Shu Shuai in the past.

~~
"Hahaha... Shu Shuai! Shu Shuai!"

In Lin'an City, Liu Jinsuo screamed wildly.

"You annoy me so much, but I'm so happy." Lin Zi grinned and kicked Liu Jinsuo hard.

"Oh!"

"pain."

"It hurts? That's true! The commander-in-chief has really become the commander-in-chief of Shu!"

"You hozen, I'm here to kick you, let you see if it's true..."

In the small courtyard of Lin'an City, as soon as the messenger sent by Ding Daquan left, the noise of Liu Jinsuo and Lin Zi resounded in the courtyard.

After a while, Liu Niang was coming back from the door, and she couldn't help smiling when she saw this scene.

Even if she hasn't met that Marshal Li yet, she can already understand the prestige he has in the hearts of these men.

When Liu Jinsuo saw her, he ran over again and quickly took the things in her hand.

"The commander-in-chief is really the commander-in-chief of Shu."

"I heard you say it just outside the door, be careful not to let anyone hear you." Liu Niang was careful and reminded with a smile.

Liu Jinsuo repeatedly said yes, but asked again: "We are leaving soon, have you heard about Tang An'an today?"

Liu Niang shook her head, and said: "People I know have asked all over, but no one has seen her since more than two years ago, maybe she is not in Lin'an anymore."

She is considered the least popular in this line of work, but she is very popular.If she couldn't find out, Lin Zi and Liu Jinsuo would be even more helpless.

Liu Jinsuo scratched his head and turned to look at Lin Zi.

"It's a mess."

Lin Zi squinted his eyes and said, "Let's go tomorrow, I'll go to Jia's mansion to have a look around at night."

"I have already asked a familiar singer in Jia's residence." Liu Niang said, "Tang An'an is so beautiful and talented. If she was in Jia's residence, she should not have noticed."

"Thank you sister-in-law." Lin Zi had no choice but to say, "Get ready to go."

A group of people loaded the carriage, Liu Jinsuo always felt that things were not done well, and he was no longer as happy as before.

"Lin Zi, at that time the commander-in-chief was talking about finding Tang An'an and the maidservant Nianer, or Tang Anan's maidservant Nianer?"

"Of course it's 'and'." Lin Zi said unhappily.

Liu Jinsuo mentioned it casually, threw his and Liu Niang's few belongings into the carriage, and said, "How do I remember it's 'Zhi'? I can hear it clearly."

"Fool Liu, you are really stupid." Lin Zi sat down on the shaft of the car and said, "There is nothing arguable about this kind of thing, I don't bother to talk to you."

"Then how about this matter, Commander-in-Chief?"

"The commander-in-chief said, if he can't find it, he and Jia Xianggong will talk about it."

Listening to this, Liu Niang thought of the rumors in Lin'an City more than two years ago.

When Li Xia went to Sichuan and Shu, he left a poem "Luohong is not a ruthless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers".

Some people said that he left the court, but decided to protect the court;

Some people also said that he left Tang An'an, but protected Tang An'an.

Thinking about it so far, Liu Niang thinks that this Marshal Li must have both, and a comment can't help but appear in her heart.

"The beauty of Jiangshan, a really romantic person..."

~~
The carriage of a group of people here left Yuhang Gate from the northwest of Lin'an City, but they heard the sound of horseshoes ahead.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! It's an urgent military situation, don't care if you hit him or die! Drive..."

Liu Jinsuo hurriedly dodged it, only to see that the fast horse had galloped past.

~~
"Report!"

In the inner city of the Great Palace, the Little Yellow Gate stumbled towards the hall.

"Official!"

"..."

"Your Majesty, urgent report from Tanzhou!"

"A Shu started his career in Dali, and defeated [-] of our army at Laocang Pass last year, and then broke through Guizhou and Xiangzhou. At the beginning of the year, he entered Jingjiang Mansion and broke through Chenzhou and Yuanzhou. Our army has been defeated, and the battle report has not yet arrived, and its army has reached the city of Tanzhou ten days ago! I am afraid that we will attack Ezhou together with Kublai Khan..."
