The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 32 Those big dogs have food~

Li Shimin picked up the wine jar, slowly filled Tang Sufan with wine, and quickly said, "Tang boy, tell me."

Tang Sufan glanced at it, it seems that Lao Li is very good~

So he slowly began to say: "It's simple to say, but it's simple, I don't know if Li Er wants to get it~"

"Water conservancy is the lifeblood of agriculture, and the construction of water conservancy is the lifeblood of development. Water conservancy has three major benefits to the country, river control and flood control, farmland development, and water transportation~"

Although Li Shimin knew a little about what Tang Sufan said earlier, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, but no matter how gorgeous the effect is, there is no way to implement it without the capital.

Tang Sufan paused, and sorted out the river map in his mind: "There are three major rivers in the Guanzhong Plain, the Wei River, the Jing River, and the Beiluo River~"

"These water conservancy projects began in the Qin Dynasty, but gradually fell into disuse after the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially during the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, and Sui Dynasties."

"For example, this year, if water conservancy facilities are built in advance, such as the construction of a channel dam, then autumn floods can store water, and this year's floods will not be so serious. When it comes to drought, the gates can be opened to release water and can be used for irrigation. Even if there is a disaster, it will not be too serious."

Li Shimin interjected: "Although this is the case, no one knows that when the yin and yang are dawning, counting four years of disasters, the court has a lot of affairs in the past three years, and it can only deal with immediate affairs."

Tang Sufan nodded. After all, not everyone has his God's perspective.

"This is also a reason. Let's put it this way, if the water conservancy is built in time this year, after the heavy snow this winter and the thaw in the early spring, the water can be stored and used, and it can barely be used for the severe drought next year. As for the autumn flood, it can be used in summer. At that time, we can dredge the river to let the flood flow into the Yellow River, and next year's flood can also be solved~"

"So building water is not a solution to temporary suffering, but it is a long-term strategy. In this way, in the next few years, even if the weather is unfavorable, it will not be so bad."

"So we can't wait for the construction of water conservancy, otherwise it will be delayed until the beginning of spring, there will be no time to store water, there will be severe drought in summer, and floods in autumn, and the court will be in a hurry again."

Li Shimin and the others were stunned, they nodded repeatedly, and each thought in their hearts. What Tang Sufan said was true. In the past two years, the imperial court was busy with matters at hand, neglecting the head and the tail, and did not make a long-term plan, so now it is chaotic.

The water control strategy mentioned by Tang Sufan is even more thought-provoking~
Li Shimin raised his head and asked again: "Although this is a long-term plan and a good strategy, what does it have to do with the wealthy clan?"

Tang Sufan's face turned red after drinking the wine. He tapped the bowl with chopsticks and asked slowly, "Let me ask you, why didn't Li Er mention the water conservancy issue in the past three years?"

Before Li Shimin and the others questioned him, Tang Sufan said, "To put it bluntly, Li Er is so damn poor~"

This sentence is like a small knife, piercing into Li Shimin's heart~

Seeing his boss being bullied, Fang Xuanling held his wine glass and said: "But the national treasury is tight today, and I never thought that the disaster will last three years and the people's livelihood will be exhausted, so the best way to live with the people is the best policy. Isn't it even more important to act rashly at this time?" Talk about civil engineering and water conservancy?"

"Cut, a roundabout way, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause~"

Tang Sufan looked at the old locust tree in the yard, and it seemed that the lightness of the cloud and the lightness of the country was a little bit good. He continued: "Actually, it is meaningless to blindly help the victims, because blindly consuming cannot produce any value. I think If you want to eat, you can, then help the country to work, this is to! Work! Relief! Relief!"

"In this way, we can not only relieve the victims, but also build water conservancy. In this way, the snow will melt in the spring, the snow will relieve the drought, and the drought will pass the autumn flood. In this way, this year's snow disaster will be a good year of auspicious snow!"

Cash for work!Disaster and snow turn into auspiciousness! ! !

The eyes of Li Shimin and the others lit up at the same time, and they stared at Tang Sufan, who had the courage to point out the country, with fiery eyes. What Tang Sufan said was so precise!No reason!

The whole set of water conservancy works, including treating three disasters in a row, sharing prosperity and adversity, and even helping the victims of disasters together to develop the country's strength, this kid is simply a great talent in governing the country!

Immediately, the excited people gradually calmed down again. This is work for relief. It is easy for the victims to work, just food!

But what the world lacks most now is food!

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Boy Tang, although the method you mentioned is really a good strategy, but the world is short of food today, and even Yangzhou area is starting to be short of food, and it is even more difficult to have surplus food in other places~"

Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Suzhou and Hangzhou have been known as the "Land of Fish and Rice". At that time, most of the food supply in the Central Plains came from there.

The weather has been unfavorable in the past few years, not to mention that after the autumn flood, I am afraid that if you want to collect food now, you will not be able to collect much~
As for the Guanzhong North Central Plains area, let alone.

"Although there is no food in the world today, those big dogs in the world have food~"

Li Shimin asked: "Boy Tang, what you call a big dog is a nobleman?"

"That's right, in fact, those big families in Guanzhong, including the Central Plains, Jizhou, and Youzhou, these places are where rich and powerful families gather. Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they have built their own Wubao, and these people have built their own granaries."

"If you think about it, ordinary people have no food at all because of the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but most of them don't serve in the army and don't pay taxes on food. So there must be food in the warehouse, but it's just well hidden."

"For three years, they were just watching Li Er, the emperor."

"how do I say this?"

"These big dogs are nothing more than a group of idiots. For three years, they have been waiting to see if Li Er can sit on the throne. And in the past three years, seven or eight out of ten of the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty and Li Jiancheng's party have been eradicated by the court. It can be said that, The world in the pass has been decided!"

"So now, as long as Li Er thinks of a way, they will lend the food to the court or sell it to the court in exchange for high-ranking officials, so if they really want to get their food, they just need some means."

"As for the means, that's needless to say! If it's not possible, he has a large group of orthodox bandits, and the old gangsters are not familiar with the old business of beating landlords and dividing the land?"

"If the two sides talk about face in a peaceful manner, exchange food for officials, and clearly mark the price, at this moment, no one will really scold Li Er for selling officials for the people's rations."

The light in Li Shimin's eyes flickered in an instant, Boy Tang revealed all the solutions to all his problems from top to bottom!
With Tang Sufan's advice, if Li Shimin doesn't understand, he really doesn't deserve to be the emperor~

All problems are easily solved!

Li Shimin exclaimed in relief: "It's really a good plan~ Boy Tang, I didn't expect you to have such a talent for governing the country as a young man! If you want to stand up and down in the court, no one will come up with such a big plan!"

Tang Sufan shook his head and said with a smile: "Tch, most of those so-called high-ranking officials are from aristocratic families, and they are not stupid, so they opened their trouser pockets for Li Er to take out~"

Li Shimin snorted coldly in his heart, a group of wine bags and rice bags, when I have time to spare, I will pull out these nails one by one with my own hands!
Du Ruhui was completely convinced by this young man who lived in the village. He held up his wine glass respectfully and said, "Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years. Boy Tang, I admire you!"

Tang Sufan laughed, and casually clinked the wine glass: "It's fine if you can listen, as long as you don't listen to what you have to say, then I don't say anything in vain~"
