Activate the Emperor System and summon Dian Wei at the beginning of the game

The palace.

After Ning Fan returned to his mansion, he convened a team from Prince Yong's mansion to discuss the formation of a navy army.

However, the most urgent task is to divert water from the Huaihe River into Huainan.

"My lord, Huainan has been a land of water shortage since ancient times. It is precisely because of the water source that droughts occur at least five out of ten years."

"During the dry season, the people had no harvest. During Lu Kan's time, he dug several rivers for water circulation. It is not easy to divert the water of the Huaihe River to Huainan."

As soon as Chen Gong finished speaking, Guo Jia also nodded and said: "The most important thing is that Julong City is located at the northern gateway of Huainan, with mountains on both sides of the east and west. If you want to divert the water of the Huaihe River south, you must pass through Julong city."

"But the Huaihe River is extremely wide. Unless the entire Julong City is demolished, there is no way for the water of the Huaihe River to flow south."

Everyone had a heated discussion around the issue of the Huaihe River flowing south, but Ning Fan looked confident. If he was not absolutely sure, he would not boast in front of Qu Linjiang and the others.

"Everyone!"

Ning Fan stood up slowly, walked to the topographic map of Huainan, and said with a smile: "It is naturally not advisable to pick out a city in order to divert the water of the Huaihe River south."

"However, this matter is not without room for maneuver."

"Look."

Ning Fan pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said with a smile: "The Huaihe River has stopped flowing here, and from here it goes south to Julong City, which is more than seventy miles away. If you want to divert the Huaihe River water southward, you may not necessarily have to use a main canal. "

"What do you mean, lord?"

Guo Jia looked at the map and was lost in thought. Chen Gong seemed to have some realization, and his brows gradually widened: "Master, do you want the Huaihe River to be bypassed?"

"Yes and no!"

Ning Fan gave up and pointed to a place on the map and said: "Look, Julong City is located at the junction of Huainan and Jiangnan. Huainan is located in the southwest and borders the south to the east. If we start from Julong City, In the middle, dig a branch canal to divert the Huai River here, and dig three main canals to bypass Julong City."

"In this way, it will not only alleviate the flow of the Huaihe River during the flood season, but also protect Julong City from the floods of the Huaihe River."

"The main canal can accommodate large ships, while the branch canal is used to control water. Although it requires more than a hundred miles of digging, it can also divert the water of the Huaihe River so that it flows into Huainan from three directions."

"After the three water canals bypass Julong City, they meet here and the river channels are dug again to return to the main canal. In this way, the water of the Huaihe River can flow southward."

After hearing Ning Fan's words, Guo Jia and others all showed a look of surprise and seriously analyzed the feasibility of the plan. They pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"good!"

"This is a wonderful strategy."

"I didn't expect that my lord is also familiar with water treatment."

"If we can really divert water from the Huaihe River to the south of the Yangtze River, it means that our Huainan has opened a trade route from the south of the Yangtze River to the Li River!"

Ning Fan also had a smile on his face, but Chen Gong said with a grimace: "Lord, this project is so huge that it will probably require tens of thousands of people. It has to be done day and night, how difficult it is!"

"Gongtai, what is the most indispensable thing in Huainan right now?"

"Of course it's money, food and population."

"Hahaha!" Ning Fan laughed loudly: "In that case, what are you afraid of? If the Huaihe River flows into Huainan, it will be a great success for the present and a benefit for the future."

"Not only can it solve the water shortage and drought and flood problems in Huainan, it can even open up business routes and promote water transportation in Huainan."

"More importantly, it can alleviate flooding in the south of the Yangtze River during the flood season, which serves multiple purposes."

The reason why Ning Fan has great confidence in this project is that he has already redeemed the topographic map of Jiangnan and Huainan from the system mall, and even exchanged it for a construction drawing of Dujiangyan in the previous life.

Don’t you know how to copy homework?

Today, the granaries in Huainan are filled with food, enough to feed the people of Huainan for a year and a half. What's more, the potato planting area has expanded this year, which is enough to provide food and clothing.

Besides, the game of chess he played in Jiangbei should come to an end.

The Lu family prepared a big gift for him!

Therefore, if Ning Fan sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, he is sure to win, and he can win while lying down.

"This matter is still left to Fengxiao, and all ministries must coordinate closely."

"The manpower needed to be mobilized is still mainly the slaves of the Southern Barbarians. If there are not enough manpower, let Ran Min go into the grassland to capture them."

"Within half a month, the diversion channel of Julong City will be dug."

"promise!"

Guo Jia and others have long been accustomed to their lord's vigorous and resolute actions. In the past six months or so, they have created miracles one after another. As long as their lord wants to do it, there is nothing that cannot be done.

If it really can't be done, it's because there are not enough manpower.

In the Lord's words, the most indispensable thing in Huainan is population. If there are not enough people, go to the grasslands to catch them. The huge ancient southern barbarian country has now become Huainan's back garden.

In the future, the barbarians in the south regarded Yu's people as two-legged sheep. They cooked them, boiled them, divided them and ate them. They regarded Yu's women as playthings, ravaged them at will, and tortured them wantonly. But now, there is reincarnation in the way of heaven.

Ning Fan has never regarded the barbarians as human beings. He is not a ruthless machine. He also has compassion in his heart, but he has never had the slightest sympathy for the beasts of the southern barbarians. As the same saying goes, the way of heaven is easy to reincarnate.

A government order was issued from Prince Yong's Mansion. When the notice was posted, the people in Lingzhou City instantly became excited.

At the city gate, there is a notice board.

The yamen runner posted the official document on the wall, and a circle of people gathered around it instantly. The literate yamen runners were dedicated to interpreting the notice board.

"From today on, Huainan will divert the water of the Huai River to the south. We need to recruit 30,000 people, 30 coins per day, and three meals a day. You can go to the Lingzhou Prefecture Yamen to sign up."

"Divert the water of the Huai River to the south?"

"Hiss!"

Many people who are proficient in geography took a breath of cold air. This is something they dare not even think about. With the mountains in the southern border of Huainan blocking the way, how can the water of the Huai River be diverted to the south?

Is it necessary to demolish Julong City?

But ordinary people obviously don't worry so much. After hearing that they would be paid 30 coins per day and three meals a day, they couldn't wait to go to the prefecture Yamen.

"I want to sign up!"

"Hahaha, I just came back from the north, and the road there has just been repaired. I didn't expect that His Highness is planning another big project!"

"Since His Highness Prince Yong came to my Huainan, our lives have been getting better and better!"

"Hehe, I've been to Yuwang City, and even the streets of Yuwang City are not as wide as our Lingzhou City, let alone bluestone roads. Except for the main road in front of the palace, they are all rammed earth roads."

"God bless my Huainan, His Highness Prince Yong, he is really a wise king in the prosperous times, and we are so lucky that we can be reborn in Huainan!"

"Hahaha!"
