Datang Longya

Chapter 569 Destroy the cultivated land?

Only a dozen or so soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Army were injured. Although a few of them were embarrassed, they were not injured enough to die, and they were able to act independently.

Seeing the death conditions of the assassins, Leng Feng said speechlessly: "You killers, are you crazy for wanting to go to the battlefield? You are so ruthless!"

Both Li Erniu and Er Gouzi smiled awkwardly. Although they fought on the grassland before, they didn't have enough fun, and now they want to fight seriously.

Although these assassins are very powerful, they are still not exciting enough compared to their battles and formal battles.

There are more wolves and less meat. Those who are injured are actually afraid that they will not be able to kill others, so they are too anxious to kill them.
Li Chengqian walked over to have a look, and asked Leng Feng: "Master, these people are all of Li Yuanchang's staff, right?"

Leng Feng shook his head: "Who knows, but if not all of them, it's about the same. This time, Li Yuanchang is really bankrupt."

With no source of income and so many of his subordinates dying, what else can Li Yuanchang rely on?
No more!

He can only be his good-for-nothing lord honestly, even if there are any follow-up methods, Li Chengqian can handle them.

In fact, this was also the reason why Leng Feng wanted to come to Hanzhong. After all, Li Chengqian was his own senior disciple, and as a master, he had to help his disciples a little.

"Dig a hole and bury them. No matter how you say it, they are desperate people from the Tang Dynasty. Just bury them in peace."

Most of the dead soldiers are desperate people. For various reasons, the only thing they can "sell" is their own life.Some hateful people also have pity.

Early the next morning, after burying these dead men.Leng Feng continued to advance with his army.After leaving Hanzhong, he didn't want to go back to Chang'an directly.

The supervisory envoy has to make a tour, but he can't just finish watching Liangzhou.Although Leng Feng wanted this position from Li Shimin, it was specifically for disgusting Li Yuanchang.However, since you have already become a member, you have to do this job well.

The inspectors not only inspect whether officials are honest and dedicated, but also seek benefits for the local people, so as to convey the imperial court's "love for the people" thought to the local people.

Not far from Liangzhou is a small county called "Sanquan County". This place is considered the birthplace of the Han River and is very suitable for the development of river transportation. However, because there are too many hidden reefs in the river, no merchant ships dare to go.

This is not possible. The Han River is connected to the Yangtze River. How can the river transport conditions be so good, how can it be abolished because of a few hidden reefs?

Chang Shou, the county magistrate of Sanquan County, had already received the news that the inspector would come to him, so Leng Feng was not surprised that this guy would bring people to meet him.

At the gate of the county seat, Chang Shou prepared enough cold water for the army to drink.As for the tea, only one pot can be prepared for the duke of the country, the crown prince and the two princes.

That's what he can do with two or three months of salary.

After drinking a cup of tea, Leng Feng said helplessly: "The price of tea in Tianxialou is not low. I didn't come here to make you feel bad. Why are you spending so much?"

Chang Shou laughed and said, "Your Majesty is wrong. If you come here to seek bad luck for the lower officials, the lower officials will take off their hats and wait for your interrogation. However, Sanquan County is a place where birds don't shit. You came here specifically to lead the people to become rich, how dare the lower officials treat you slowly!"

For the arrival of the cold front, Chang Shou is so happy that he can't sleep these days.It is rumored among the people that the landlord of the world is the God of Wealth descending to earth. Although he can't see how he can make money in his small place, as long as the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin comes, there will always be a way.

Li Chengqian smiled secretly, and took out a bag of copper coins from his pocket and handed it to Chang Shou: "Did An Sheji never tell you that we are all at our own expense? You take the money, and if you have any extra, you can help the poor people."

Chang Shou smiled bitterly and said, "What is His Royal Highness doing, it's just some tea leaves, and the lower officials can still afford them."

Li Chengqian shook his head: "This is Gu's order, are you going to disobey it?"

Facts have proved that the prince can still be half an emperor after leaving Chang'an. Chang Shou didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only continue.

Sanquan County was not as good as Liangzhou City. Fortunately, Leng Feng had already made preparations to let the Dragon Tooth Army bring their tents. They only needed to find a flat place to set up camp.

At noon, Leng Feng took people to the Han River to have a look.

The river is very wide and the water is deep enough for river transportation, but the occasional small stones on the water surface make people feel helpless.

It looks like a small rock on the surface of the water, but below it may be a large reef or a more dangerous triangular cone shape.

Seeing that Leng Feng was the first one to look at the Han River, Chang Shou guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but say, "Duke Xi, although river transportation is a profitable business, but there are too many hidden reefs in this river, and there are people swimming in it." Even if you smash it with a hammer, it’s impossible to empty it.”

Leng Feng shook his head: "How much can you hit with a hammer? What if you encounter a bigger one? So, we have to think of a different way."

After finishing speaking, Leng Feng looked at Li Tai: "Tomorrow you will bring someone to draw the surrounding topographic map, Master will be useful."

Li Tai complained: "Master, Li Ke can do it too, why don't you let him paint?"

Li Chengqian laughed loudly: "Don't you understand? Master thinks you are getting fat again, so he will find you a job in sports!"

Regarding Leng Feng's order, after the appeal was invalid, Li Tai could only grit his teeth and do it.

However, he did not choose to do it the next day, but directly led people to start.If Li Tai works, he always does it directly, which is completely different from his usual procrastination.

After more than ten days, Li Tai handed over the completed topographical map to Leng Feng.

The topographical map was marked in great detail, but when Leng Feng looked at the map for a while, he covered his forehead in pain.

He had an idea about dealing with the reef, but when he looked at the terrain, he found that if his idea was to be implemented, the large piece of farmland had to be wiped out.

For the people of Sanquan County, this may be difficult to accept!
After all, the common people have a morbid attachment to the land. If their land is destroyed, they don't know how they will scold him!
This is how to do?
Li Tai noticed Master's expression and couldn't help asking: "Master, what's wrong?"

Leng Feng sighed: "If you want to remove the reef, you have to use gunpowder, and if you want to use gunpowder to blow up the reef, you have to lower the water level of the Han River. But I see that there is only a low-lying place around that can be used to divert the Han River. That depression is all cultivated land in Sanquan County."

Li Tai looked at the topographic map, only to realize that this is really the case.

This is how to do?
Although the benefits brought by the river transportation far exceed the cultivated land, it is too much to destroy the cultivated land. It is estimated that the people here will not agree!
