my empire simulator

Chapter 41

……

"Zhang Yi, tell me..."

Glancing at Zhang Yi who was silent, Jiang Siyan asked.

"Although there are plans here, but the construction of the canal has not started, Zhang Yi dare not speak nonsense."

Zhang Yi thought for a while, and then said: "From the perspective of people's strength, material resources, and financial resources, the loss of the Shu Kingdom is definitely not small. However, after the canal is completed, the loss can be recovered in a short time."

"The difficulty is whether the canal can be built?"

For the Kingdom of Shu, this is a very difficult choice. The construction of the canal will inevitably cause serious financial pressure in the middle of the country, but once it is completed, it will help the Kingdom of Shu unprecedentedly!
"My son is sure."

Jiang Xubai's answer was decisive.

It's not because of anything else, the special buildings that meet the conditions in the simulator can be viewed in the drawings, of course, in reality, he has to draw them slowly by hand...

There are many masters who build canals in this world. With the blueprints in hand, it is only a matter of time before Dujiangyan is built.

Of course, a blueprint cannot solve all the problems. There are specialties in the art industry, and there are still many difficulties that the engineers in Shuzhong need to overcome.

Jiang Siyan thought in his heart, if the canal can be repaired, then everything will be worth it...

This is by no means a one-time achievement, and the large amount of money is not for him to take out in one go, but is allocated every year according to the situation.

This leaves a lot of leeway. If you pay 100 million at a time, you can't get it out. It will be different if you install it in installments.

Jiang Siyan thought for a long time, and then said: "We will make a decision after the court meeting has been discussed..."

Although this matter is no more than the addition of soldiers and soldiers on the battlefield, it is not a trivial matter. Although Jiang Siyan intends to move, Jiang Siyan has to be cautious.

"Thank you, Father!"

Jiang Xubai took a step back and bowed to Jiang Siyan.

It can be seen that the father intends to build the canal, so the courtiers in the court are also sure.

In this way, if a Bashu is about to own Dujiangyan, it will have a background, and Jiang Xubai will also get enough brilliant points.

But even if the meeting is passed, it is impossible to order the construction of Dujiangyan immediately. It will take time to recruit people, money to prepare, and skilled craftsmen...

None of this can be accomplished in a short period of time.

What's more, the current major strategy is to resume farming, so there is very little people's power that can be used, and the speed of progress is certain...

I thought that Jiang Xubai would ask for some rewards for himself, but he didn't expect to build a canal, and he didn't get any benefits, so Jiang Siyan asked: "Is there nothing else?"

"Um……"

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xubai finally said: "I have to go to the queen mother to ask for a horse."

"Don't you have a red rabbit?"

Chitu is one of the best horses in ten thousand, and Jiang Siyan likes this horse very much.

Hearing this, Jiang Xubai smiled and said: "My father doesn't know, my son once made a bet with General Wei Zhang, and the bet was Chitu."

"Gambling with Chitu?"

Zhang Yi was a little surprised that such a good horse as Chitu was so rare that it was used as a bet?

In this way, Wei Zhang should have made a corresponding bet, but Jiang Xubai didn't say anything, and Zhang Yi didn't ask.

"My son won. General Wei Zhang didn't get the red rabbit, and he was depressed for a long time, so my son wanted to go to the queen mother to ask for a good horse and give it to General Wei Zhang."

Jiang Siyan remembered that when the rebel army offered the city, Wei Zhang looked disappointed, and took this opportunity to give Wei Zhang a good horse.

In the whole of Sichuan, there are only a few horses that can be called good horses, and they are all at the queen mother's place, so ask them with the cheek.

After all, it doesn't feel bad for the queen mother to give it to herself, but not necessarily to give it to others...

"You……"

Hearing Jiang Xubai's explanation, Jiang Siyan nodded: "It's so good, go and see your mother, the queen is also thinking about you during this time."

"There, the minister has retired..."

Jiang Xubai took two steps back, saluted Jiang Siyan and Zhang Yi respectively, and then exited Juting.

Until Jiang Xubai walked away, Jiang Siyan rubbed his forehead and said slowly: "Xubai is benevolent."

Whether it's building canals or getting good horses for Wei Zhang, Jiang Xubai's character can be seen.

This made Jiang Siyan feel very relieved, but why did his head hurt more and more...

"The third son can relieve the country's worries, it is a blessing for the Shu Kingdom..."

"Well, that's a good thing."

Nodding his head, Jiang Siyan said, "You can share my worries."

He originally thought that he could cultivate well and save a little wealth for his son, but when Jiang Xubai proposed to build a canal, he was really moved.

The merits of building aqueducts are in the present, and the benefits will be in the future. Jiang Siyan recognizes it in his heart...

However, in addition to building canals, there is another tricky thing in Shu.

Jiang Siyan's voice was distant: "Although the Miaojiang rebellion has been put down, the hidden dangers of the Chu state still exist..."

Not long ago, he received the news that in the great battle between Chu and Yue, the two armies of Chu State were divided into east and west. Now they are fighting with the main force of Yue State, and Yue State retreated after being defeated.

The victorious Chu State did not continue to advance, but immediately withdrew to Chu State.

This is because the State of Shu had already put down the rebels in Miaojiang, and in order to avoid being flanked, the State of Chu did not further attack the State of Yue.

He beat up the country of Yue as quickly as possible, and did not ask for compensation for land cession, but simply beat up the country of Yue.

Jiang Siyan knew in his heart that Chu State was giving Yue State a warning to let him understand the gap between Chu and Yue.

At the same time, it is also telling the State of Yue not to focus on helping the State of Shu. You see, when I send troops to attack you, the State of Shu has no indication at all!Why are you bothering to help him?
This is also a signal to destroy the Shuyue alliance.

It's a pity that the Kingdom of Shu couldn't help the Kingdom of Yue at that time, but now it can, but the army of the Kingdom of Chu is waiting in full force, so what can the Kingdom of Shu do.

Zhang Yi heard the words, thought for a while, and then said: "Then Zhang Yi will go to the country of Yue."

Yue Guo should be suffocating anger in his heart, maybe he is scolding Shu now, and they have to appease their anger.

"The widow should send other special envoys to the country of Yue."

Yue State is an important ally that can check and balance Chu State, especially after Liang State gradually weakened, the importance of Yue State was also reflected.

However, the alliance between Shu and Yue has been completed, and now it is necessary to appease the emotions of the Yue Kingdom. Zhang Yi does not need to deal with such trivial matters.

For Shu, Zhang Yi has been traveling for a long time, and it is time for Zhang Yi to take a rest.

"Do not."

Zhang Yi shook her head, and said to Jiang Siyan: "Building water canals and stabilizing the Miao border will take up a lot of expenses. The Kingdom of Shu is unable to attack other countries during this period, and stabilizing the Kingdom of Yue is the most important thing."

Zhang Yi's policy of attacking diplomatic relations is to focus on diplomatic relations and supplement it by attacking. Now that Shu is not going to invade other countries, it is better to stabilize the external situation.

What Zhang Yi said made sense. I wanted to give Zhang Yi a rest...

Thinking about it, Jiang Siyan got up and saluted Zhang Yi: "Thank you, sir."

Zhang Yi hurriedly got up and returned the salute: "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this, it's just for the benefit of the country."
