Chapter 289: Help you
Leng Luoyue performed a demonstration of making ice with saltpeter on the spot. The misunderstood concubines apologized to Leng Luoyue and then left, but Fengcheng Han stayed.

Without him, he would feel depressed, but Lengxiang Palace was cool and calming.

The kitten was very happy, nestled in his father's arms, and asked his father to solve the nine links with him.

"Ah!" Xiaomao'er untied another link, made a sound of surprise, and turned to look at his father.

Feng Chenghan rubbed his little head. This little thing was actually very smart. At the age when others were still playing with rattles, he played with the nine-link ring and untied so many rings.If you cultivate it from an early age...

Feng Chenghan's brows furrowed almost invisible. This was most likely his only prince, and he really couldn't bear to let him suffer the same hardships he suffered as a child.

Since he was five years old, he had not gotten up after dawn. He read in the morning, practiced riding and shooting in the afternoon, and was tested by his father on his homework in the evening.

His father was not a loving father and was very strict with him. If he couldn't answer his father's questions, he would either slap him or make him kneel as a punishment. He didn't know how many nights he spent kneeling as a punishment.

After receiving his father's admiring look, Xiaomao'er continued to untie the nine links.

Leng Luoyue tried to reduce her presence as much as possible, looking at their loving father and filial son, praying in her heart that the dog emperor would not stay in Lengxiang Palace.

Feng Chenghan looked at Mao Mao'er's little hand untying the nine-link chain, and then thought of the incident in Xizhou. He suddenly remembered that Leng Luoyue was a person with many methods, and wanted to ask her what she thought.

"The memorial in Xizhou said that it has not rained in Xizhou for more than a month, and there is little rain in the rainy season. There may be a severe drought this year. What do you think?"

Leng Luoyue looked up at Feng Chenghan and asked with her eyes: "Are you asking me?"

Feng Chenghan closed his eyes and tapped the kitten with his chin. His expression clearly said: "Can I still ask him?"

Leng Luoyue pursed her lips. He spoke so abruptly without naming anyone. Who knew who he was asking?

Ask her what she thinks, what can she think?If it doesn’t rain for the Dragon King, she can’t pull the Dragon King over!

But the Dog Emperor definitely didn't want to hear her say this.

"Since a severe drought is unavoidable, we should prepare food and money for disaster relief in advance. Formulate policies for states and counties to receive refugees, and let nearby states and counties prepare in advance to avoid panic when disaster strikes. The refugees will not be in chaos. We also need to prepare some medicinal materials to prevent and treat diseases. Whether it is after a drought or a flood, diseases are very easy to occur."

Feng Chenghan listened very seriously. She was right. Since a severe drought was unavoidable, it was time to take precautions and make preparations in advance.

For example, no one has ever said anything about formulating policies for states and counties to accept refugees and making preparations in advance.Generally, when refugees appear, other prefectures and counties that have not been affected by the disaster are very afraid of and reject the refugees.Without him, the disaster-stricken refugees would not only be dirty and smelly, but would also break the law and steal in order to survive.

It has happened before that the prefectures and counties closed the city gates to prevent refugees from entering the city. The refugees were incited to directly riot and directly invaded the city to kill, kill and rob.

If preparations are made in advance and the refugees can be properly accommodated, the refugees will not come indiscriminately. If the refugees do not come indiscriminately, the people in the city will naturally not be afraid of rejection.

"What about Xizhou's history of water shortage?" Feng Chenghan asked again.

Leng Luoyue exhaled a sigh of relief speechlessly. Do you want to ask her this?
"I have to look at the map." If there is a shortage of water, the only alternative to digging wells is to open rivers to divert the water, but this requires looking at the map to analyze the topography.Feng Chenghan had a look of surprise on his face. He just asked casually, could she really do anything?

Feng Chenghan quickly asked Wang Xin to get the map. The map was spread out on the mat, and the kitten lay on it curiously.

Leng Luoyue saw the location of Xizhou on the map. Xizhou is where the gate of the Western Kingdom is located. Although it has many plains, it is remote and arid, with cold winters and dry summers. It is a bitterly cold place.

Although there are small lakes in the whole territory, there is no big river.

Xizhou is close to the northern border. The northern border is high and has many mountains. There is snow all year round on the high mountains. There is a big river in the territory called Dabei River. Why is it called Dabei River?Because there is another small river called Xiaobei River.

The snow and rain in the north all gather in this river. Not only that, but the water from the Yongjiang River and several small tributaries of the rivers in the upper reaches also converge with the Dabei River, causing the Dabei River to frequently flood during rainy and snowy years. occur.The closest basin in Xizhou to Dabei River is a full five hundred miles away.

"Diversion of water from the north to the west." Leng Luoyue looked at Fengcheng and said coldly.

"How?"

"From here..." Leng Luoyue pointed to the map and said, "Dig a river from the Dabei River to here, running through the entire territory of Xizhou. In this way, Xizhou will not have to suffer from drought, and neither will the north. It’s the suffering of floods.”

Feng Chenghan looked at Leng Luoyue with a shocked expression. Her idea was very bold and unprecedented, but it was simple to say but not easy to implement.

"Do you know that from the source to running through the entire Xizhou, it is a full [-] miles. How much time, manpower, and material resources did it take to dig this river?"

Leng Luoyue blinked and said: "Although it consumes a lot, it is enough to change the situation of the entire Xizhou. Not only that, the northern border of Xizhou will be able to be transported by ship in the future, making it more convenient for trade. This is a contribution to the present day and a benefit. What happened in Qianqiu will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and your Majesty, you will also be admired and praised by future generations."

"Your Majesty, you can dig the upper half of the northern border and dig the lower half of the western state. Anyway, this is something that benefits the people of both places." Leng Luoyue gave Feng Chenghan advice. "If we pool the manpower of the two places, we should be able to dig it out in two or three years. In order to mobilize the people to participate, Your Majesty, you can also give tax exemptions to the people who participate in digging the river."

Feng Chenghan frowned: "Where did the money come from?"

"Who is the richest?" Leng Luoyue asked.

"Businessman." Do you even need to ask?

"Pah!" Leng Luoyue snapped her fingers, "Let them donate. When the donation reaches a certain amount, the court will give you a plaque written by the emperor yourself."

She used to write novels and let the emperor make money in this way.

Wang Xin, who was standing aside, clapped his hands and said: "This is a good method. The words of the kings of the past are worth thousands of gold. It is an even greater honor to get a plaque signed by the emperor himself. There will definitely be many merchants willing to donate money." .”

Concubine Leng’s brain is really smarter than those of the previous ministers!He often saw ministers arguing for a long time in the court, but they never came up with a good solution.

After being told this by the two of them, Feng Chenghan actually thought this method was feasible, and even wanted to sell more, no, give more plaques, and donate the money to build the cavalry.
