Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

In fact, the celebrities in the late Han Dynasty all had this attitude, not to mention that they were not afraid of death, but most of them valued their reputation more than their lives. Most of these people were not very capable, but relatively speaking, their morality was guaranteed. of. …≦,

Cui Yan can be regarded as a model of ability and morality among them, but his temper is too strong, and he doesn't like to speak soft words.

Although he is very capable, if Cui Yan is allowed to handle government affairs, even if there are some shortages of civil servants on Liu Bei's side, there is no shortage of such ones. Chen Xi arrested Cui Yan and joined Liu Bei's group in essence to make Cui Yan a minister.

On Liu Bei's side, from Chen Xi down, none of them can be regarded as ministers. Although they are all smart, but because of their smartness, they all have obvious advantages and avoid disadvantages in their personalities.

When Cui Yan came here, apart from sometimes directly admonishing, to ensure that the overall situation in the officialdom would not form a civil official circle centered on scheming, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, the more important point was to let Cui Yan expose the blame and expose those who Chen Xi and others are concerned about. No, the people below dare not expose the pot!

These two points are very important. Now Liu Bei's top circle is doing well. Although they all instinctively seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, in general, relying on their wisdom, they can basically solve all problems, so it is not good for the entire force. There is too much influence.

However, this may not be the case in the future. If there are no officials in the upper class who dare to speak out, or do not need to speak out, then after this wave of people die, this circle will be completely corrupted, and it has been corrupted from the very beginning. .

Once the upper class collectively dare not shout for the correct path. Then this country is not far from the end, so at the very beginning, Chen Xi was ready to bring in a minister.

The meaning of the existence of this Zhengchen is to make the upper class dare to shout for the national interest at any time. Rather than being a clay sculpture, shrinking back at the slightest danger.

So when Cui Yan joined Liu Bei's side. Chen Xi gave Cui Yan the gift of "Life and death for the benefit of the country, do you avoid it because of good fortune and misfortune?" To put it bluntly, it is to encourage Cui Yan to do such dangerous things. Liu Bei always needs someone who is smart and not afraid of death. do this kind of thing!

Of course, Cui Yan was very happy after receiving this screen with only two sentences written on it. He himself belongs to that kind of upright and upright model, and these two sentences made him find his final destination. Not to mention, for the sake of the country. What fear is there in death!

So after Cui Yan confirmed Chen Xi's thoughts. Immediately began to clean up the entire Qingxuyanyuji administration. While the group expanded, there were not a few silt mixed in!

"Marquis Chen, Inspector of Lu, the Patriarch of the Li family has already inspected the water conservancy network under his rule, and came to report to the two of you." Just as Chen Xi and the others finished handling a lot of government affairs, a messenger came forward to report. .

"Ask him to come in." Chen Xi and Lu Su looked at each other, and they both saw each other's joy. The construction of water conservancy network was finally on the agenda. Although the Yellow River only floods every two or three years now, this is enough for Chen Xi to have a headache.

"I've seen Marquis Chen, I've seen all the military lords." Li Shu said with a slight bow, looking a little self-confident.

"Sit down. I would also like to thank the Li family for coming to design the layout for Xuande Gong." Chen Xi ordered someone to move a chair for Li Shu to sit on. Now the couch is not used much except for very formal occasions, but I want to come. It won't be long before sitting on the couch may withdraw from history.

"It's Chen Hou who is polite." Li Shu said with a smile. I was slightly surprised by Chen Xi's title, even though I had heard it before. But I was still a little dumbfounded when I saw it.

"Whether you're being polite or not, it's for the sake of governance. Yuan Chang please speak up to me." Chen Xi said with a light smile.

The Li family's water control method is slightly different from the blockage and dredging recorded in other classics. The Li family focuses more on adjustment and compatibility.

"Alright." Li Shu took out rolls of maps. These maps were taken by Li Shu after he came to Liu Bei's side. Maps in this era are all strategic materials.

Therefore, when he got the map, Li Shu showed obvious satisfaction with Liu Bei's trust, although his family had these maps and studied them for a long time.

Opening the map, it is obviously different from the Grand Canal that Chen Xi roughly planned at the beginning. If the canal that Chen Xi roughly drew on the map before is a side-turned canal with an extra "person", then it is obviously complicated now a lot of.

However, generally speaking, the water intake of the canal has not changed much, but compared with the original canal, now there are two more nodes in the canal, and there are several changes in the direction of water flow. Overall, it is more complicated than the previous canal Quite a lot.

"In my opinion, the value of this canal is not so much to strengthen the connection between the Central Plains, but to transform the five major grain production areas in depth." Li Shu shook his head and said, "So my design is more focused on the entire water conservancy network , not the main construction of this canal."

"Based on my current design, it will take 20 years to build the main body of the canal. After connecting these five water intakes, the main body of the canal can be completed. The sea route is fine." Li Shu said bluntly.

Liu Bei has traveled too much by sea. Now many people in the world know that sea routes can be used. Although flat-bottomed boats are not reliable for sea routes, they can be used if they can be used. There is room for improvement. Naturally, the Grand Canal The meaning of water transportation is much smaller.

"Moreover, Mr. Gongyou has been building official roads. As far as good horses are marching, they are not weaker than waterways. Mr. Wen He's horse administration has also been committed to solving this horse problem. Once Xuande Duke unified the world, the official roads will be paved. Canals don’t mean much to all parts of the world.” Li Shu said flatly, completely ignoring his ability to build rivers and control water, which is demolishing his own family.

After hearing this, Chen Xi nodded slowly, agreeing with Li Shu's words. Although they are not quite right, these are facts and reasonable, but there are some deviations from the topic.

Although the significance of freight transport on the Grand Canal is declining due to the relationship of sea transportation, its significance of strengthening the rule of the North and the South still exists. For insurance or something, Chen Xi rarely pins his hopes on a single thing. Official roads and waterways are all needs!

As for the five major grain-producing areas, it is indeed time to transform them. Even if money is spent, a grain-producing area that ignores drought and floods will be created in the core of the Central Plains. This requires a complete water conservancy network system, but if it is based on the Grand Canal The water power of other water veins mobilized is not good! (To be continued.)

ps: Tomorrow will be April, let's go to compete for the list, leave the monthly pass to me when the time comes, it doesn't matter this month...
