Chapter 2714

The city in the northwest has very distinctive characteristics, they are all made of huge stones, and the height is several feet higher than other cities, but the main color is a piece of yellow sand, which looks extremely desolate.

Finally, Yingwuhou and his wife were expected to come. After everyone settled down, Master Tong entered the house and bowed to Lu Anlang and Jiang Caiyue. Your Excellency bows.

Lu Anlang instantly understood that Master Tong wanted something, and Jiang Caiyue did not let him stop him, just to show Master Tong that they would do their best to help Master Tong fulfill his wish.

Sure enough, after Master Tong paid his respects, he smiled heartily at Lu Anlang and Jiang Caiyue. Compared with the previous appearance of worrying about the country and the people, Master Tong seemed to let go of a big stone in his heart.

"To tell you the truth, Lord Hou and Madam, since the old man returned to Jinchi City at the end of last year, I have been thinking about how to deceive Master Hou and Madam, but I am afraid that I will put too much pressure on the two of you, and it will make things difficult for you. Now that I'm here in the northwest, I won't let the two of you go away for a while."

The secrets of Jiang Caiyue's space are naturally kept secret from the outside world, but for ministers like Master Tong and Gao Xiang, although they will not speak out, they will not insist on hiding it. Master Tong and Lu Anlang have also worked together for several years. Mrs. Tong participated, and the relationship between the two is still very good. Before Jiang Caiyue took out a lot of things from the space, Mr. Tong had to distribute them to the outside, and he didn't hide much from him.

After listening to Master Tong, Jiang Caiyue smiled and said, "How can Master Tong want our husband and wife to help?"

Master Tong rubbed his palms, and said a little embarrassedly: "The old man wants some crops that can be grown in the northwest, and some livestock that can be raised in the northwest."

Jiang Caiyue thought for a moment, "Master Tong, don't worry. I gave Master Tong a batch of fine seeds. Although they may not be as productive as the fertile land, as long as the drought is not too severe, they can always be planted alive. But the water source But there is a big problem, the northwest is full of yellow sand, if there is no water source for irrigation, even if I take out the best seeds, it will not be able to grow.”

"Madam Shuiyuan, don't worry. The emperor has promised me to overhaul the water conservancy and dig a canal to divert water from the south to the northwest. In a few years, the drought in the northwest will be resolved."

Jiang Caiyue looked at Master Tong in surprise, she didn't expect him to dare to think, and Hao'er also dared to respond, digging a grand canal to divert the water source that always floods from the south to the northwest, this is not a small project, it is In the future with the rapid development of industrial technology, this is not a big project that can be completed in one or two years.

But in this era where the population is not very large and everything can only be done artificially, the difficulty is not a little bit. Just measuring the river course cannot be completed in a few years, right?

Seeing Jiang Caiyue's disapproving expression, Lord Tong took out a blueprint from his sleeve and spread it on the table, and he came prepared, "Master Hou, Ma'am, please take a look, this is the blueprint for building the canal. When I first entered the phase, I ordered people to draw it. All the well-known water conservancy engineers from the Ministry of Industry were invited. The drawing was just completed the year before last, and the emperor had seen it. The only difficulty now is to recruit civilians along the canal to build When everyone digs together, the project can be completed quickly. But there is one thing, if the young and middle-aged people all over the country go to build water conservancy projects, and there is no one to grow the grain, the grain in the imperial granary may not be enough. Madame..."

After finishing speaking, Lord Tong gave another deep bow, but was stopped by Lu Anlang with a wink from Jiang Caiyue.
