I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

The sheriff of Wuyuan County was a little embarrassed and said, "I have already been expelled from Liao by my minister."

Liu Tan was full of question marks: "What? Why did you drive me away?"

The sheriff of Wuyuan County was very nervous: "He has strange eyebrows and eyes, and he has a lot of weird thoughts. I thought he was talking like a ghost, so..."

Liu Tan felt his brain ache from hearing his dialect, and couldn't help asking, "Are you from Yizhou?"

Well, the year before he crossed over, the Bashu area was divided into Yizhou. This Sichuan flavor is too Yizhou.

The sheriff of Wuyuan County looked surprised: "Your Highness, do you know?"

Liu Tanxin waved at him tiredly and said, "Get that person back."

The people of Bashu are also too stubborn. When you become an official in the north, not to mention learning the local dialect, at least you have to be assimilated, right?

Liu Tan remembered that the sheriff of Wuyuan County had been the sheriff of Wuyuan County for nearly 20 years, and his accent hadn't changed at all until now!

Seeing that the sheriff of Wuyuan County was still talking, Sang Qian couldn't help coughing lightly and said, "Then...Your Highness, shall we continue?"

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "Where did I just say?"

Originally, his train of thought was very coherent, but when he was interrupted by this, he was confused and even forgot what he said before.

Sang Qian reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness said that our side has little precipitation and severe desertification, so there are no natural rivers."

Only then did Liu Tan remember, and continued, "Oh, yes, the number of times the Yangtze River has diverted..."

Liu Tan got stuck for a moment. He originally wanted to say that the Yangtze River diverted less often, but suddenly remembered that he had forgotten when the Yangtze River diverted, and he was not sure whether there was any diversion of the Yangtze River.

So he quickly changed his tune and said: "It is the Yellow River that diverts more times than the Yangtze River. The connection between them is actually very easy to understand."

Everyone:? ? ? ? ?

They were confused by what they heard, but in fact, they had already felt very strenuous from the very beginning. Under Liu Tan's "intimidation", they knew a lot about the geography of their jurisdiction, but for this kind of macroscopic Can't understand the connection at all.

Liu Tan couldn't help feeling tired looking at these county guards looking at each other, wanting to say something but not daring to say it: "Don't understand?"

The county guards shook their heads crazily, and Liu Tan was even more tired: "If you don't understand, just say it. If you don't understand now, I will ask you to control the water later. What should you do if you can't figure out a way? Wait for me to clean you up?"

The sheriff of Wuyuan County whispered, "We will do whatever Your Highness tells us to do."

Liu Tan slowly turned his head to look at him, and asked with a sullen expression, "Do you want me to feed you all your meals?"

Sang Qian finally couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Your Highness, it is not easy to govern the Yellow River, and we haven't learned much about it before. Why don't Your Highness give us some time..."

Liu Tan took a deep breath: "I can give you time, how can the people give you time? This year, the harvest was poor, and the emperor kindly exempted the taxes of the northern border countries. Will they be exempted next year? Will they be exempted in the year after? All the vassal states Among them, only the northern border countries have been exempted from taxes, do I want to lose face?"

To be honest, if Liu Tan said it was for the sake of food and clothing for the common people, these county guards would not believe it first, but if he said it was for the sake of face, everyone would understand.

But thinking about it, especially Sang Qian, who first came to the northern border country to want to be gilded, and then when he was thrown to Xi'an Yang County, he still felt that his life was gloomy for a while.

But there is no way, he can't beat the king of the north, let alone him, his father may not be the opponent of the king of the north, so in order to be able to go back as soon as possible, Sang Qian also tried his best to make some achievements in Xi'an Yangjun.

With his hard work, Xi'an Yang County is changing little by little. The feeling that this kind of hard work pays off really makes him feel good, so he gradually has some fun, and he has a competitive heart. Let Xi'anyang County become the best county in the northern border country, oh, except for the capital.

As a result, Liu Tan is now taking the lead—what's the use of being good in the northern border?When he had time to return to Beijing, when his old father asked about the annual tax exemption of the county he led, he would be ashamed.

Not only was there no way to explain to his father, but the cronies and friends who had been hanging out together before turning around asked... Where should he put face?

At this moment, the moods of Sang Qian and Liu Tan were very similar, and the other county guards didn't think there was anything wrong, since their family was here anyway, and it didn't matter if they lost face.

Then they heard Sang Qian sonorously say: "Yes, we must change the status quo of the northern border country, and strive to become the granary of the Han Dynasty next year!"

Just after Liu Tan finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank water. After all, he talked a lot from the beginning to now.

Hearing Sang Qian's words at this time, he almost choked to death!

He put the teacup on the case table heavily, and said under the terrified eyes of several other county guards: "Don't talk empty words, seek truth from facts!"

Liu Tan looked around for a week, and felt that if he continued to go deeper, these people might not be able to understand what he said, so he finally said: "Let's go, think about what I said, by the way, the previous person must be found!"

The sheriff of Wuyuan County is also very eager to find that person at this time. If that person really has some experience in water control, he will definitely be able to have a common language with His Highness the King of the North.

He didn't expect to be able to really control the water. Frankly speaking, the flood pressure in the Hetao Plain is not very high. Even if the Yellow River is often diverted, it will rarely cause a lot of human and material losses.

He just hopes that someone can divert the attention of His Highness, so that they can be liberated.

The county guards all ran away, Liu Tan sighed softly, got up and went back to his tent, walked over and collapsed next to Gun Gun.

When Miao Rui and Bi Gao brought him some snacks, they saw that the postures of one person and the bear were very similar. The difference was probably that Liu Tan's belly rolled while lying down.

For a while, the two of them couldn't decide whether Liu Tan was influenced by Gun Gun or Gun Gun was influenced by Liu Tan.

Liu Tan asked, "Has there been a letter from the capital? Is there any news?"

Miao Rui said: "There are two letters, do you want to read them now, Your Highness?"

Liu Tan waved at him, and then saw the letter Lu Xuan wrote to him at a glance, and the other letter was from Huo Guang.

Although he knew that Huo Guang's letter to him must be a serious matter, but Liu Tan hesitated for a long time, and finally selfishness prevailed and opened Lu Xuan's letter.

This time Lu Xuan's letter was rare and brief, but it made Liu Tan very excited: "Ah Xuan is back!"

Bi Gao took a look at Miao Rui, held back his words, and said to himself that this is not the home of that little Kunmi, so how could it be regarded as "coming back"?

However, His Royal Highness regards little Kunmi as one of his own, so it is difficult for them to say anything.

Lu Xuan's letter was short because he had already returned to the northern palace, and told Liu Tan to be careful when going out, and told him not to worry.

Finally, I added a sentence at the end of the letter: Waiting for your return.

If it weren't for Liu Tan's sense of reason, he really wanted to jump up and order him back to the capital in an instant.

It's a pity that he can't, he always has to come up with a simple plan, let these county guards go back and do it first.

According to his temper, he can't wait to solve all the problems before next year's spring plowing.

But he also knows that flood control is not a small matter. It is normal for a period of five to ten years, and even this is relatively short. Not to mention the manpower and material resources spent in the middle, the most important thing is that it may not be effective. If you change the route, you say it's cheating or not.

It's just that missing Lu Xuan made Liu Tan feel like returning home. Originally, he wanted to let these county guards fully understand the situation of the Yellow River and how to manage it.

No one dared to say that it was possible to keep the Yellow River from diverting completely, even if Liu Tan was a god, let alone he was not.

Therefore, local officials must understand water control and be able to adjust flexibly.

But now...forget it, I will assign this as homework later, let them learn slowly, I will do it by myself first!

Liu Tan didn't expect these people to do much for him, as long as he could listen to him. Fortunately, he came out for a walk, otherwise it might be difficult for him to come up with an effective method just relying on the narration of the people below.

The first thing is to plant vegetation. I have to say that planting vegetation here in Hetao is actually easier than in other places. After all, there are sufficient water resources. As long as you have patience and perseverance, don’t plant in the front and cut in the back.

After Liu Tan wrote this article, he began to think about whether to come up with the concept of a protected area, sending people to patrol day and night, and severely punishing anyone who illegally felled.

This method is actually good, but the only problem is that it requires a large expenditure, whether it is planting trees or sending people to patrol.

At that time, the state treasury will need to pay for it. Liu Tan thought about it and put this matter on the pending project-he must go back and discuss it with Huo Guang.

The second is to dig canals. It is best to dig out a self-irrigating water system, so that the farmland will no longer be short of water, and the water volume of the Yellow River can be minimized.

It's just that the self-irrigating water system network must be well designed, otherwise, wouldn't it be bad if you accidentally dug it into a Zeguo?

In order to go back to see Lu Xuan as soon as possible, Liu Tan diligently researched the map in his tent.

Although he didn't summon the county guards, who among those county guards would dare to let the king of the northern border work and they would watch from the sidelines?

Especially for the sake of face, Sang Qian is like a bloody chicken. He is a little better than other county guards, but the problem is that there is no course on the management of the Yellow River in his education, so when Liu Tan no longer explains , After starting to worry about his own business, Sang Qian could only understand while watching.

After Liu Tan was busy for two days, the governor of Wuyuan County came to him happily and said, "Your Highness, I found it, I found it!"

I have to say that under the high pressure of Liu Tan, the governor of Wuyuan County's polite words have improved a lot. It is also difficult for him to change a lot in the past 20 years. what kind of pressure.

Liu Tan looked up in a daze: "What did you find?"

The sheriff of Wuyuan County said cautiously: "It is... the person His Highness asked us to find, and we found it."

Liu Tan thought about it carefully and then suddenly realized: "Where is the person? Bring it here, by the way, what is his origin?"

The governor of Wuyuan County was a little embarrassed and said: "I...don't know."

Liu Tan was shocked: Did you let me come to see you without checking your identity?

When that person was brought over, Liu Tan finally understood why the sheriff of Wuyuan County didn't check the identity of the other person, because there was no need at all, and the risk factor of this person was too low.
