Concubine Nong has some fields

Chapter 803 South-to-North Water Diversion
Fan Qiliang answered the eighth question correctly.

"Next to the ninth question, the queen has no children, and the concubines have five sons. If so, how do you establish a heir?"

"Back to the emperor, the students think that no matter what, the eldest son of the emperor should be the crown prince." No.6 said.

"No, the queen has no children. Among the five concubines, the five princes choose one who has both ability and political integrity, and the mother and concubine with good character can be established as the heir." Zhao Ziyi replied.

"That's right. The queen has no children. The eldest son of the emperor may not be able to become the heir. It depends on his character. The best one should be selected to be the heir." Zhao Ziyi answered this question correctly.

"The last question left is if..." He was interrupted before finishing the question.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. The south is in an emergency. Floods have occurred, and the people's crops have been flooded. The north has also experienced a severe drought in the past two years. The crops have also been poor, and the river has fallen." Xiao Quanzi hurriedly came to report.

He Lianjue frowned, "Okay, I understand, I will send people to support immediately later."

Xiao Quanzi withdrew.

He Lianjue just asked this question: "Nowadays, there are floods in the south and drought in the north. What can you do?"

"When you return to the emperor, you should find out the truth and send people to rescue and allocate relief food." Fan Qiliang replied.

"The emperor's students have a way to solve this problem once and for all. Southern floods and northern droughts continue to occur, and even if there are rescues, there will be casualties. The students' method can solve this problem." Shen Yijin replied.

Shen Lanyue curled her lips into a smile, and He Lianchen sent a voice transmission, "Yue'er, what are you laughing at?"

"Ah Chen, brother Jin's method is what I told him, and he's going to make a big move."

"Oh." He Lianchen looked at it with interest.

"What way? Tell me."

"Returning to the emperor, the waterlogging in the south means that the water is trapped and cannot flow out. If there is a flood, the people will suffer. However, there are more dry land in the north, and the water resources are scarce. They are completely dependent on the sky. Once there is no water resources, the people will suffer. It is said that if the water from the south is diverted to the north, the waterlogging in the south can be alleviated, and there will be no shortage of water resources in the north. However, this is a huge project. Transparent canals, and then set up gates at each checkpoint, every time there is a flood, the gates will be opened to release water, so that the water will flow to the north, so that the south can be relieved, and the north can also get water resources.”

Before He Lianjue could speak, Liu Qingyun and Tang Cheng stood up fiercely, "The emperor's plan is really brilliant, it is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone." Liu Qingyun bowed and said.

Tang Cheng also echoed Liu Qingyun's words, "Your Majesty, Student Shen's strategy is simply too practical. This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people."

He Lianjue pondered for a moment, "Although your plan is good, the South-to-North Water Diversion project you mentioned is not a small amount. It requires so many workers to go there, and the cost of opening the Grand Canal and repairing the gates is not small."

"Your Majesty, the opening of the Grand Canal can find the local people. As long as you pay enough wages, I believe that there will be no shortage of workers. Each locality is only responsible for a local area. In this way, the canal will naturally be connected. The ants will kill the elephants." How powerful it is, this should be able to solve the problem of manpower, as for places where there is no one, the students think that my sister should be able to help." Shen Yijin bowed to express her opinion.

Shen Lanyue stood up, "Your Majesty, Brother Jin is right. Where there are villages and towns, you can find local people to open it. This is also their income. As for the places where there are no one, just leave it to the courtiers. In terms of silver, the courtiers are willing to take out 200 million taels as the canal funds."

"Father, my son also contributed 200 million taels as the canal funds." He Lianchen got up and said.

Shen Lanyue looked at him, "Where do you have any money? Isn't your family's wealth a dowry gift?"

He Lianchen smiled dotingly, "Yue'er really thinks I'm that poor, I can still afford a mere 200 million."
