Datang: Cheating at the Beginning of the Imperial Examination

"At the same time, the canal was dug up, running through the south of the Yangtze River all the way, and then into the East China Sea. The people along the way no longer have to worry about the problem of watering their farmland, and the harvest can be greatly increased!"

The smile on Li Shimin's face suddenly subsided.

Instead, there was a serious look on his face.

From the beginning to the end, he never thought that Lu Yan could have a solution.

A young man whose performance is now considered a monster. He has discussed with the ministers in the court for many times, but he still has no clue.

How could Lu Yan at such an age be comparable to so many of them.

At the beginning, Lu Yan's well-organized speeches were considered normal in his opinion, and there must be a limit to evildoers.

With the thought of taking the exam, I just wanted to see how Lu Yan's talent was, so he smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Until now, Lu Yan's words made him unable to calm down any more, and it was like a thunderbolt, completely splitting the haze in his heart.

Bright eyes!

Why didn't I think of this way myself.

Digging a canal directly to the Grand Canal is not an ordinary one, but implements the entire south of the Yangtze River. This is definitely a real big project.

It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it costs a lot of money.

What kind of person Li Shimin is, after thinking for a moment, he realized that this kind of behavior is really feasible.

Not only is it feasible, but if the implementation is successful, there is a great probability that the flood problem can be completely solved, and even if it cannot be solved, it can be reduced countless times.

It can also irrigate the crops that come and go.

The harvest of the common people has not been high. The biggest reason is the weather and pests.

That is the problem of irrigation.

It is extremely inconvenient for them to fetch water, and waterwheels and ditches can only be built by businessmen with countless money in their hands.

Ordinary people, where can they afford it.

It is common for the two villages to fight each other for water.

If all these are left to the state, not only will the flood problem be solved, but the harvest will be greatly improved, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the national treasury will be sufficient.

Why is the Tang Dynasty not prosperous?

"Yang Guang can dig the Grand Canal, why can't I dig the canal?"

Li Shimin's heart suddenly became excited, this thing was done, it was a matter of benefiting the people of the world, and the merits were immeasurable.

He is more than enough to record his entry into the history books and is admired by future generations.

The look Li Shimin looked at Lu Yan suddenly became complicated, and he no longer knew how to describe the young man in front of him.

Just being an evildoer might not be enough.

That's all, the poetry is unparalleled. How did he think about such a method?

Li Shimin is a little fortunate... He personally presided over the invigilation, otherwise it would be a pity to pass by such a genius.

However, he is not an easy person, he quickly calmed down, his face was always as calm as ever, and he did not show any strangeness.

But his tone couldn't help becoming a little anxious: "Then... how should the refugees be dealt with?"

What I just said was just to solve the flood.

But these refugees, the number is extremely large, there are hundreds of millions.

If you want to solve them, how can there be such an easy thing.

Li Shimin looked at Lu Yan, with a little hope in his eyes, hoping to find a solution from him.

Lu Yan smiled lightly and said, "It's even easier for refugees, you just need to pay for work!"

PS: The seventh update is here. The evaluation votes and rewards are only a little bit short before you can add updates. I don’t know if there are any brothers who are willing to vote for a little bit.

Chapter [-]: With this one person, he can resist thousands of troops! 【New book for collection】

"Relief for work?"

Li Shimin frowned, a little puzzled, it was the first time he had heard such a word.

The ministers beside him also looked at each other in dismay, not quite understanding the meaning of Lu Yan's words.

Seeing this, Lu Yan immediately smiled and said, "If you want to solve the refugees, you must restore them to their previous situation. Whether it's a farmer or a hawker, at least they can live in peace."

"But now...the flood has caused their family to be destroyed, how can they be stable?"

Everyone nodded, this was the most basic question.

In addition to disaster relief, try to alleviate it, and rely on time to smooth these, they really can't think of any other way.

Lu Yan added: "Those refugees definitely don't want to maintain such a life, they don't have enough clothes and food. Every time they pour in, they are hundreds of thousands. The great pressure will not only not be able to provide so much food for disaster relief, but also affect the normal operation of the county town and be rejected by the people."

"The refugees are like weeds without roots, floating around, but they can't find a foothold."

When Li Shimin heard this, his expression was a little embarrassed.

The refugee problem cannot be solved, which is also his responsibility as the emperor.

The whole world is his subjects, and if he cannot avoid future troubles for his subjects, then it is his dereliction of duty.

But at this time, he couldn't care about it, and he became a little anxious. Lu Yan never came up with a solution.

"I understand these things... I'm also working hard to do it, but there are millions of refugees, and it's so easy to adjust them all at once."

"They themselves are huge in number, and they don't listen to the schedule. Disaster relief is tense and often difficult to control. These are the most deadly problems."

Once a person is extremely hungry, there is no bottom line.

There are millions of refugees, everyone, and suddenly riots, and they cannot use force to suppress them. They can only watch them continue to go north, affecting one county after another, and may even come to Chang'an.

"It's natural to know this, but what if you give them jobs?"

Lu Yan suddenly asked back: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give a man a fish. Once they have a job, they will be able to feed themselves. They will naturally settle down, and there is no need to go north step by step, consuming the food originally accumulated in the county, resulting in more and more More refugees show up."

Li Shimin seemed to have caught something, and his heart suddenly became bright, with an undisguised excitement in his eyes: "You mean..."

"Yes, digging the channel to connect to the Grand Canal takes countless manpower and material resources, and even takes years to complete. These refugees are already in dire straits, as long as they are recruited into volunteers to ensure their food, It is very satisfying for them.”

"Not to mention that they will be given money. Millions of refugees will be eager to yearn for them. They are the best workers. Datang has also saved countless financial resources and the national treasury is guaranteed."

"There is no need to levy corvée, and it will not cause public resentment, so it can still win the hearts and minds of millions of people, why not do it?"

Lu Yan looked at Li Shimin and Shi Shiran said, "This is...relief for work!"

"One is cash-for-work, and one is cash-for-work!"

Li Shimin stared at Lu Yan for a long time, wanting to praise him, but found that he couldn't find any words at all.

Surprise!

He only felt that a huge surprise hit his head.

It made Li Shimin feel a little like a dream, not very real.

"There are such talented people in the world!"

Li Shimin, Longyan Dayue, laughed loudly: "Today's imperial examination, I did not come for nothing!"

"Not only that, digging ditches needs to be spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, so the counties can be scattered to recruit. Not only do these refugees be divided into
