Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 374

"It would be great if the prince could write a letter to the Holy Master. After all, there are too many people along the Yangtze River, and the court must fully cooperate. As for the method, the rest is what you said just now, to renovate the upstream and downstream rivers, and maintain the dams along the Yunmeng Lake.

At most, it is based on the nearby cities, farmland, and new canals to irrigate more farmland. After all, that area has a pleasant climate and is most suitable for growing food. At least two crops of rice can be grown. If the Jingxiang area is vigorously developed, it will be completely unbeatable. in Guanzhong.

Second, after the diversion, the flood discharge capacity of Yunmengze Lake can also be improved, but in this way, the requirements for building new canals will become higher, otherwise flooding will occur, and more people will have to be trapped. "Feng Daiwen took Li Chengqian to sit in front of the map, took a sip of tea and said in detail.

Li Chengqian kept making records carefully, and nodded in agreement, admiring Feng Daiwen's talent.

"Thank you brother-in-law for your advice!" Li Chengqian stood up, bowed his hands and saluted solemnly.

"Prince, you are being polite. It is your duty to share your worries." Feng Daiwen hurriedly turned sideways to avoid him. Now that Li Chengqian has grown up and is a prince, he must be respected enough.

Li Chengqian was very happy with Feng Daiwen's attitude, and he was the only one who respected Feng Daiwen enough. Other great Confucian scholars, including Li Shimin, always put forward more tasks and demands for him with a straight face. Although the minister also respected him, but The attitude of looking at the children can be clearly felt.

"My little brother is going to Yuezhou. I don't know if my brother-in-law has a good way to make the local people rich. Please give me some advice." Li Chengqian asked with a smile on his face.

The flood prevention and river management taught by Feng Daiwen today are completely capable of writing an opinion paper on Yangtze River governance and Yunmengze flood control. If Li Chengqian writes it, it should cause a lot of discussion.

The two knew it well, and of course Li Shimin would know it too, but the other ministers would only think that this was Li Chengqian's method, so as to increase their prestige, and all Li Chengqian was very grateful.

"If the people of Yuezhou want to be rich, they have to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the water to eat the water. It is a good choice to grow food, tea, and mulberry in that area, especially Junshan Island, where the tea tastes very good.

There are a lot of fish in Dongting Lake in Yunmengze. You can build big boats, fish reasonably, divert water, build large fishponds along the coast, and build lotus roots in Zhujiazhuang fishponds. You should have seen poultry farming as well. Just copy the past.

The rest is to relocate the people along the Yangtze River to relocate the people along the Yangtze River while the current population is not too large, reclaim wasteland, and grow high-quality fruits and vegetables in places with sufficient light, and the income is also not low. "Feng Daiwen never cared about the fame and credit, and gave a detailed explanation to Li Chengqian's question.

"Since the water system is well-developed, we can build a wharf to allow merchant ships to rest and drive local business. In the future, it will also be easier to sell tea and sericulture." Feng Daiwen continued.

Li Chengqian wrote furiously, listened carefully, and compared and checked the map from time to time.

"Father has arranged a lot of manpower for my younger brother, but there are very few capable ones. I wonder if my brother-in-law can be recommended?" After Li Chengqian finished writing, he read it again, and then raised his head and asked.

Feng Daiwen asked the accompanying officials, thought carefully and said: "Now the secretary supervises Shang Guanyi, Di Zhixun, and Pei Xingjian are very capable, the prince can be seconded, there should be no problem.

The Holy Majesty said that officials can only help young people, but the East Palace belongs to the officials, but the crown prince is directly under it, so you might as well bring a few people who have no real affairs in the court. There are many people in the former Bogutang who have been assigned to various places. The crown prince might as well ask Master Yan for advice. Old Gu Yan, please recommend one or two. "

"Thank you brother-in-law, I will leave first, brother-in-law, if you have any difficulties in the future, please give me some advice!" After Feng Daiwen finished speaking, Li Chengqian knew everything about it, relaxed, and couldn't wait to go back to prepare, and quickly offered to leave.

Feng Daiwen didn't want to keep him, and sent him out personally. For a prince, the curfew in Chang'an was of course useless.

When he left the palace, Li Shimin already knew that Li Shimin could also guess the purpose of his visit to Feng Daiwen's place, so he couldn't help but look forward to it, and wanted to see Feng Daiwen's method, knowing that Feng Daiwen often gave surprises.

As expected, after Li Chengqian returned to the palace, he worked hard overnight, consulted the information, and wrote a memorial with tens of thousands of words, with the investigation data, titled: "Yellow River, Yangtze River Basin Water and Soil Erosion and Management and Prevention Opinions!"

On the morning of the second day, Li Chengqian went up to the court with panda eyes on his head, and played Li Shimin, demanding that the relocation of people near the Liangshui should be increased, at least not too close to the river for planting, and the afforestation near the river should be strengthened to restore the landform and benefit future generations.

At the same time, it explained how to control the flood in Yunmengze, and how to gather the common people to carry out the cooperative and win-win farming based on the village, the planting mode, and the establishment of workshops according to local characteristics.

Li Chengqian's letter aroused huge repercussions. For this kind of thing that is beneficial to future generations, it does not harm the interests of any family. Everyone raised their hands in approval and praised the prince for his long-term vision and careful consideration.

Although Li Shimin knew that this was mostly Feng Daiwen's advice, it was a good thing that Li Chengqian was able to seek strategies and adopt them. The superiors employ people. Only those who can use this kind of emperor's strategy can be a qualified prince.

Originally, it was only intended to give a Yuezhou, a group of young people, to test his vision, ability, and employment, etc. Now it seems that he might as well increase the pressure.

With a wave of Li Shimin's hand, all the [-] miles of Yunmeng Zefang were under his control, and Yuezhou by Dongting Lake and several counties in Jingzhou in the north of the Yangtze River were under his full responsibility.

He also allowed more than 100 officials of the East Palace to go to listen to the order, and dispatched Yu Zhining, the chief historian of the East Palace and the left concubine, and Zhang Xuansu, the young Zhan Shi and the right concubine of Dongtaishe, to assist.

At the same time, Li Chengqian's request was agreed, and 28 Confucian scholars recommended by Secretary Supervisor Shang Guanyi, Di Zhixun, Pei Xingjian, and Yan Shigu recommended to go together.

Li Chengqian participated in the reconstruction of Chang'an, was in charge of the government, and studied with Li Shimin for several years. He has rich experience. He especially likes to make plans before making decisions. This is what Li Shimin likes most about him.

For several days in a row, the officials of the East Palace customized plans against the map, made plans, dispatched manpower and supplies, and finally submitted them to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin read it carefully, and after thinking about it, he didn't point out whether it was right or wrong. He just encouraged Li Chengqian to do it according to his own ideas. The effect can only be reflected after he has done it.

On February [-]th of the sixth year of Zhenguan, Prince Li Chengqian led officials, craftsmen, and Dong Gongwei to lead more than [-] people to Yuezhou. Eighty thousand coolies were dispatched to build canals and other work.
