Chapter 216 Construction of the Canal

After the emperor agreed to Wen Renxi's request, the dispute over whether to build the canal ceased immediately. The emperor had been in power for ten years, and his majesty and prestige completely surpassed that of Xiaohuan and other emperors who had been in power for decades. No one holds his head up, so Wang Fu has become the most special. Perhaps it is this uniqueness that makes these officials resent him so much.

The happiest person is Dong Zhuo who is in Youzhou. He became one of the ministers with the most outstanding achievements in the eight years of Jianning because of the construction of Chidao. The only ones with him are Lu Zhi, Yang Qiu, Wang Fu, and Cai Yong. The important ministers, Lu Zhi and Yang Qiu are because of governing the state and county, Wang Fu is because of his proposal, plus he governs Yangzhou, and Cai Yong is naturally because of compiling the stone scriptures.

He can be ranked with these important ministers, and it is inevitable that he will be promoted in the future, and it is very easy for him to obtain these achievements. He has plundered the peninsula. Is it time to attack the peninsula again on a large scale?Although the construction of the canal on the Jizhou side is not within the scope of his duties.

But if all the labor is provided by himself, then he can also make political achievements. Dong Zhuo immediately began to rectify his soldiers and prepared to plunder the surroundings. He even brought a lot of aborigines with him this time. When the Han people communicated, Dong Zhuo painstakingly told them that this was done to save his compatriots and to make them civilized.

Dahan needs you to lead the way and find out your compatriots. Only by walking on the path of saints can they see light and hope!

The native guides were all very supportive of Dong Zhuo. They took the lead in leading the team and started a new expedition towards the peninsula.

The officials in Jizhou are also busy with the canal. Wen Renxi even rushed here to start field observations. The people on both sides of the canal were also relocated to the surrounding areas. The efficiency of the officials is still very high. The great sword of the Kegong system hangs on their heads, and now is not the time when they can be promoted as long as they have high moral integrity.

If there is no political achievement, it will be difficult to move in the officialdom.

But at this moment, in He Xiu's mansion, the little fat man who was just three years old was sent here by the soldiers. The servants in He Xiu's house were a little panicked. After all, this is the eldest son of the emperor. He seemed disapproving of the eldest son, but in fact, he sent a full 300 guards to guard around He Xiu's mansion day and night.

He Xiu frowned, his face was cold, and he walked out of the study slowly. Xun You, who took the lead, paid homage to him, then turned to look at the prince. The prince seemed to be dissatisfied with being sent here, frowning and muttering mouth, He Xiu slowly walked in front of him, and the two of them looked at each other like this, Xun You trembled in his heart, secretly thinking something was wrong.

The prince argued that he was still young and had a bad temper, and Master He was the number one mad Confucianist in a big man, so Master He wouldn't beat the prince too badly?
Xun You thought to himself.

Sure enough, seeing that the prince did not salute to him, He Shi slowly lowered his body and stared at the prince sharply. He stretched out his hand suddenly, and just as Xun You was about to dissuade him, he saw Master He struggling to hug the prince, grinning , said softly: "Don't be afraid, Bian'er, come and eat with me! I have prepared a lot of delicious food!"

Xun You was stunned.

He was dumbfounded, seeing He Xiu hugged the prince excitedly and went back to the study, the prince argued and even quarreled and refused to eat at the desk, He Xiu hugged him, sat in the study and ate, pampering him very much, Xun You shook Nodding his head, he said helplessly, "Hold grandsons but not sons! The emperor miscalculated this time."

In front of Liu Bian, Master He seemed to be a different person, cheerful all day long, but the servants had never seen Master He's smile, and Liu Bian gradually fell in love with this kind old man, and stayed with him all day long. By his side, no matter what he asks, Master He will help him fulfill it with a smile, and even take him out to play in Luoyang City every day.

Of course, when they went out, they were surrounded by groups of embroidered emissaries and guards. The little fat man saw the sword on He Xiu's waist and shouted: "I want it too!" He Xiu immediately made one for him. The small wooden sword was hung on his waist, and he said with a smile: "Bian'er, this sword is the courage of a man and the foundation of his life. If a man does not have a sword, he is no different from a foolish woman!"

After Liu Bian followed him out of the courtyard, he looked at the pedestrians around him, pulled He Xiu's skirt, and shouted, "Aye, these people are no different from foolish women!"

"Some people, hide the sword and the outside, some people, hide the sword and the inside."

He Xiu said, but Liu Bian frowned, not understanding the meaning, the two of them were walking on the street, Luoyang City was already crowded with people, cars and horses were like a dragon, all kinds of peddlers were hawking on both sides, this kind of bustling scene, how could Xio had never seen him in Luoyang before, so he couldn't help feeling secretly, and Liu Bian, who had stayed in the palace since he was born, was even more happy, being held by He Xiu and wandering around Luoyang County.

In Dong Zhuo's barracks, there were not even any soldiers left behind. They were all sent to the peninsula. Under the leadership of the indigenous guides, they broke through many counties. The walls of the beasts are a bit strenuous, obviously they can't stop the soldiers of the Han Dynasty alone. Under Dong Zhuo's deliberate plunder, the whole peninsula is in panic.

Beginning a large-scale migration to the east, Dong Zhuo captured slaves wantonly on the peninsula. Later, he was surprised to find some caves inhabited by aborigines on the peninsula, and there were many iron mines around these caves!
After capturing tens of thousands of slaves, he returned to Youzhou in a mighty manner, divided into several groups, and returned one by one. After returning, he sent the previous natives to explain to them and let them know that the big man wanted to Help them instead of oppressing them. As long as they can complete the project, they can also become the people of the big man and will no longer be troubled by hunger and cold.

Dong Zhuo had just found labor, and Wen Renxi had already finished surveying the terrain. He borrowed a lot of officials from Wang Fu. These officials were the ones who followed Wang Fu in Yangzhou to build canal water conservancy for a long time. People, they are quite experienced in the water conservancy of canals. With their help, it is much easier for Wen Renxi to survey.

This is a canal connecting Yishui and Gaotang. It flows directly from Gaotang into the big river. The project is huge, but if it is completed, it will be of great help to the land of Hebei. It starts from farming, to transportation, and to the country. It is of great benefit to control these areas, and Cai Yong also borrowed some Tai students from him to take up official positions as assistants who were attacked by others.

The construction of the canal is about to start, but the work of the Reading Department has been officially completed. The attitude of the officials is completely different for this kind of cultural event. They are very supportive. Initially in Luoyang, Xiangyang, Ruyang, Ye , Xiapi, Jiangxia, Wu, Chang'an, Chengdu, Hanzhong and other counties have established reading departments. In these reading departments, there are manuscripts of Jianning Stone Classics.

There are also a lot of ancient books listed. Just after it was established, it was sought after by local scholars Chen Zan, and the soldiers in charge of the garrison were a little exhausted.
