Li Shimin picked up the wine jar, slowly filled Tang Sufan with wine, and said quickly: "Tang, please tell me."
Tang Sufan glanced at it, it seemed that Lao Li was very wise~
So he slowly began to say: "It's easy to say it's easy, but I don't know if Li Er wants it~"
"Water conservancy is the lifeblood of agriculture, and building water conservancy is the lifeblood of development. Water conservancy has three major benefits to the country: river control and flood control, farmland development, and water transportation~"
Although Li Shimin knew some of what Tang Sufan said before, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, but no matter how gorgeous the effect is, there is no way to implement it without capital.
Tang Sufan paused and sorted out the river map in his mind: "There are three major rivers in the Guanzhong Plain, the Wei River, the Jing River, and the Beiluo River~"
"The construction of these water conservancy projects began in the Qin Dynasty, but they gradually fell into disuse after the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially during the turmoil of the Wei, Jin and late Sui Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms."
"For example, this year, if water conservancy facilities are built in advance, such as the construction of canals and dams, then the autumn floods can store water, and this year's floods will not be so serious. And when there is a drought, the gates can be opened to release water and irrigation can be achieved. In this way, Even if there is a disaster, it won’t be too serious.”
Li Shimin interjected: "Having said that, no one knows that when the Yin Yang dawns, there will be four years of disasters. The imperial court has had many affairs in the past three years, and it can only deal with the immediate affairs."
Tang Sufan nodded. After all, not everyone has his God's perspective.
"This is also a reason. Let's put it this way, if the water conservancy is built in time this year, after the heavy snowfall this winter, water can be stored and used during the thaw in early spring, and it can be used for the severe drought next year. As for the autumn flood, it can be used in the summer By dredging the river at this time and letting the flood flow into the Yellow River, the flood disaster can be solved next year~"
"So although building a water project will not solve the temporary suffering, it is a long-term solution. In this way, even if the weather is unfavorable in the next few years, it will not be too bad."
"So the construction of water conservancy projects cannot wait. Otherwise, it will be delayed until spring and there will be no time to store water. There will be severe drought in summer and floods in autumn. The court will be in a hurry again."
Li Shimin and others were shocked. They nodded repeatedly and pondered in their hearts. Tang Sufan was right. In the past two years, the court was busy with matters at hand and ignored the end. It did not make long-term plans, so it was in chaos now.
The strategy for water control mentioned by this guy Tang Sufan is even more thought-provoking~
Li Shimin raised his head and asked: "Although this is a long-term plan and a good strategy, what does it have to do with the wealthy clan?"
After Tang Sufan drank the wine, his face turned red. He tapped the bowl with chopsticks and asked slowly: "Let me ask you, why didn't Li Er mention water conservancy in the past three years?"
Before Li Shimin and others could ask back, Tang Sufan said: "To put it bluntly, Li Er is so fucking poor~"
This sentence is like a small knife, piercing into Li Shimin's heart~
Seeing that his boss was being criticized, Fang Xuanling said with a glass of wine: "But the national treasury is tight today, and I never thought that the disaster would last three years and the people's livelihood will be exhausted. Therefore, the best way to improve people's livelihood is to make peace with them. At this time, shouldn't we be reckless?" Are you talking about civil engineering and water conservancy?"
"Tsk, this roundabout approach only treats the symptoms but not the root cause~"
Tang Sufan looked at the old locust tree in the yard. Yun Danfeng Qing pointed out the meaning of Jiangshan, which was a bit good. He continued: "In fact, it is meaningless to blindly provide relief to the victims, because blind consumption cannot produce any value. Think about it. If you want to eat, if you can, then help the country with work, this is! Work! Instead of! Relief!"
"This can not only relieve the victims, but also build water conservancy projects. In this way, the snow will melt in spring, the snow will help droughts, and droughts will lead to autumn floods. In this way, this year's snow disaster will be auspicious snow and a good harvest!"
Work-for-relief! Snow disaster turns into auspiciousness! ! !
The eyes of Li Shimin and others lit up at the same time. They stared at Tang Sufan, who had the courage to guide the country, with fiery eyes. What Tang Sufan said was every word! No matter what!
A complete set of water conservancy projects, controlling three disasters in a row, sharing weal and woe, and even helping the victims to develop national strength. This guy is truly a great talent in governing the country!
Immediately, the excited people slowly calmed down. This work-for-relief program makes it easy for the victims to work, just food!
But what is most lacking in the world now is food!
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "But Mr. Tang, although the method you mentioned is indeed a good strategy, there is a food shortage in the world today. Even the Yangzhou area has begun to be short of food. It is even harder for other places to have surplus food~"
Suzhou and Hangzhou have been known as the "Land of Fish and Rice" since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At that time, most of the food supply in the Central Plains came from there.
The weather has been unfavorable in the past few years, not to mention that after the autumn floods, I'm afraid I won't be able to collect much food now~
As for Guanzhong and the North and Central Plains of China, let alone that.
"Although there is no food in the world today, those big dog owners in the world have food~"
Li Shimin asked: "Tang boy, the big dog in your mouth, is he a member of the gentry family?"
"Yes, actually, those big dogs and big families in Guanzhong, including the Central Plains, Jizhou, and Youzhou areas, are where wealthy families gather. Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they have built their own forts, and these people have built their own granaries."
"Think about it, ordinary people had no food at all because of the war in the late Sui Dynasty, but most of them did not perform military service or pay taxes on food, so there must be food in the warehouse, but it is just well hidden."
"For three years, they were just waiting to see the emperor Li Er."
"how do I say this?"
"These big dog owners are just a bunch of grassroots. In the past three years, they have been waiting to see if Li Er can secure the throne. In the past three years, the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty and the remnants of Li Jiancheng have been eradicated by the court. It can be said that, The world in Guan is settled!"
"So now, as long as Li Er thinks of some means, they will lend the grain to the court or sell it to the court in exchange for high-ranking officials' salaries. So if you really want to get their food, you just need some means."
"As for the means, that goes without saying! If it really doesn't work, he has a large group of orthodox bandits who are doing the old business of allocating land to landlords. Aren't those old gangsters familiar with the job?"
"If both parties were to be gentle and show some dignity, exchanging grain for officials and clearly marking the price, at this time, no one would be serious enough to scold Li Er for selling officials and titles for the sake of the people's rations."
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly shone. Tang Xiaozi now listed all the solutions to all his problems from top to bottom!
With Tang Sufan's guidance, if he, Li Shimin, doesn't understand anymore, then he really is not worthy of being the emperor~
All problems are solved!
Li Shimin exclaimed happily: "What a good plan! Mr. Tang, I didn't expect that you, a young man, have such a talent for governing the country! Even though the whole court is full of people, no one has come up with such a big plan!"
Tang Sufan shook his head and smiled: "Tsk, most of those so-called high-ranking officials are from wealthy families. They are not stupid. They opened their trouser pockets and let Li Er take it out~"
Li Shimin snorted secretly in his heart, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, when I get my hands on it, I will definitely pull out these nails one by one with my own hands!
Du Ruhui was completely convinced by this young man who lived in the village. He held up his wine glass respectfully and said, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Mr. Tang, I admire you!"
Tang Sufan laughed and clinked the wine glasses casually: "As long as you can listen, as long as I don't listen to you as much as I listen to you, then I didn't say it in vain~"
