The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 484

However, this cannot be achieved in this era.

Because we don't have that kind of high technology.

He can only make use of the weather here to grow two crops of grain.

In this way, the people will not worry about having no harvest for a whole quarter.

However, these are not the fundamental issues.

Their most fundamental problem is building river embankments.

Only when rivers and lakes are properly maintained will floods be prevented.

All the ministers were surprised to hear Xu Tian's words.

One of the ministers spoke out directly, "Is it possible to grow grain for two seasons?"

They hadn't even considered this question.

Xu Tian said frankly, "Yes, it's still early in the season, and the weather in the south is relatively warm. After the rains, people can plant another crop of grain, and the autumn harvest can be carried to the winter harvest. This will solve the problem of not having food in winter."

The biggest consequence of floods is that people face hunger.

However, the grain reserves in the national treasury may not be enough to save all the people.

They can only contribute a small amount. If such disasters occur every year, and they don't come up with a solution, wouldn't they go hungry every year?

After dealing with the grain issue, Xu Tian continued, "Once the rains have stopped, we can build river embankments to prevent flooding, and then we won't have to worry about floods submerging our grain."

Li Er thought this method was useful, so he summoned his ministers and ordered them to inform the local officials.

Implement this method.

However, since this method was proposed by Xu Tian, ​​it needs to be implemented by Xu Tian himself.

The officials unanimously agreed that Xu Tian's method was feasible.

If this really happens, then they won't have to worry about these things anymore.

Although they build river embankments every year, the embankments are not effective at preventing floods, resulting in floods every year.

Those local officials were all extremely annoyed.

However, this matter has never been resolved.

The General of the State saw Xu Tian, ​​who was beaming with pride.

His plan backfired spectacularly; he never expected Xu Tian to come up with such an idea.

However, this has not yet been realized.

He didn't believe Xu Tian's method could become a reality; it wasn't a simple matter.

When he turned around, he saw a smile on Xu Tian's face.

Although this matter has not yet been realized, Xu Tian is very clear about it.

There's a first time for everything.

He can utilize modern technology.

The General of the State already believes that this is impossible and that it is too early to tell.

He had known all along that the General Zhenguo was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.

And now he has revealed this solution.

If that were to actually happen, the General Who Protects the Nation would surely come and chop him down with a meter-long sword.

The floods can be resolved, but the drought in the north is another issue.

"While floods can be addressed by raising river embankments, drought in the north is an unavoidable problem."

Li Er held his forehead, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

The General Who Protects the Nation is up to his old tricks again.

"Since Lord Xu can solve the flood problem, he can also solve the drought problem, right?"

He simply couldn't believe that Xu Tian could propose raising the river embankment and solve the drought problem.

It seems he'll have no choice but to head north with his water bottle.

The General Zhenguo, who was waiting to see the joke, heard Xu Tian say, "I believe that the South has more rain and the North has more drought. If we can divert water from the South to the North, we can alleviate the flood problem in the South and solve the drought problem in the North."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this idea.

"Is this really possible?" The Prime Minister found it unbelievable.
