The corner of Yang Gan's mouth raised, "Can you please invite him to come to Yuntong?"
"Contemporary giants rarely move around anymore. After all, they are too old."
Yang Qian's smile suddenly froze.
He quickly called over the Mohist disciples he had brought with him.
"May I have your name."
"I'm from the Mo family, Leng Shaoyuan."
"This is Wing Chun, Ip Man."
Yang Qian secretly complained that his introduction was very good, but he still introduced Shuihu's idea to Leng Shaoyuan.
After all, being able to come to Xinhuo Academy and be recognized by the academy means that Yang Qian's policies are recognized to a certain extent.
Leng Shaoyuan was horrified and exclaimed, "Such a project, this, can this really be realized?"
Yang Gan pointed at the entire map and said.
"I've looked at it. It's not a big problem, but it will definitely take a lot of time. But I've thought about it. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools."
"As long as we have the right tools and slaves, there should be no problem without sacrificing national power."
Leng Shaoyuan looked at the map and murmured, "In this way, once the entire Xia Kingdom is connected, it will have incomparable and huge benefits for both trade and farming."
"wrong."
Yang Gan corrected, "Not only for trade and farming, but also for the transportation of troops and the prevention of droughts and floods."
Suddenly Leng Shaoyuan frowned.
"Does Your Majesty know that I, a descendant of the Mo family, have spent my entire life mediating disputes in the Central Plains?"
"Once the canal is built, wouldn't the Xia Kingdom be able to dominate the world? Then the Central Plains will be in turmoil again. This is contrary to my Mohist ideas."
After saying that, he flicked his long sleeves and said in a cold voice, "I'm sorry, but I can't get involved in this matter."
Yang Gan pursed his lips and chuckled, before he could say anything.
Leng Shaoyuan added, "I know what your Majesty is going to say. Your eloquence is so good that no one in the world can find a match for you. Naturally, I am no match for your Majesty."
Yang Qian was stunned. Good guy, if you don't talk to yourself, how can you convince me?
"Your Mohist family only wants to eliminate the wars between countries. But from the time when the Mohist family was founded to now, has it been eliminated?"
Yang Qian was not the kind of person to be led by others, so he spoke directly without giving him a moment.
Leng Shaoyuan was stunned and opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
"The core of universal love is undifferentiated love, which means that it does not care about origin, status, or blood, and can even tolerate each other across classes."
"If we can realize love between people, love between families, and love between countries, then the world will be governed."
"It seems that you haven't realized it in hundreds of years. That kind of love only exists in fantasy."
"There is no such thing as gratuitous love and gratuitous hate in the world. If you do nothing, you can get love that exceeds what you give. Isn't that love very cheap?"
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Leng Shaoyuan's forehead.
"Non-offensive, oppose unjust wars and support just wars."
The more Yang Qian spoke, the louder he laughed, "Then what is justice and what is injustice? Who has the final say between justice and injustice?"
"Even if you Mohists decide who is just, is the justice you think is the justice that the world's leaders and people need?"
"Pfft~~~!" A mouthful of old blood spurted out.
Leng Shaoyuan was not feeling well.
"Ah~~~You monster, how dare you break my Taoist heart!!!"
Leng Shaoyuan sneered and asked, "What do you think is justice?"
"There is no justice."
Yang Gan clenched his fists and said fiercely, "Even if there is justice, then since it is justice within the range of my bow and arrow, and since it is truth wherever my iron hooves gallop, justice will come with just a mouth?"
Leng Shaoyuan cupped his hands to Yang Qian, quickly ran out of the carriage, came to a nearby place, and lay facelessly on the ground, vomiting heavily.
Then he covered his face and cried.
"ah
, I’m sorry to the Mo family, I actually think what your Majesty said makes sense~~~! "
Yang Qian and the two women looked at each other, and Mu Qing twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Today I finally know why the masters in the academy don't like to talk to you and even jokingly call you a saint."
"If you can argue until others vomit, you can be considered the first of its kind."
Yang Gan brushed his long hair hanging down from his temples and said with a smile.
"What does this mean? It's just that, after hundreds of years, there has been no progress in science, so what else do you want to do? To be righteous, I am still destroying the enemy on behalf of the moon."
"However, their mechanism skills are quite remarkable. If they can get the support of the Mohist disciples, it will be a powerful help."
Mu Qing grabbed Yang Qian's arm and said anxiously, "You don't really plan to build such a huge canal. This is not something a county can afford."
There was a sudden "whoosh" sound.
Leng Shaoyuan rushed up and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, I have thought about it for a long time and feel that even if we put aside the theory, such a huge project cannot be built in one generation."
Yang Qian's smile gradually widened and he said to Xiao Yu, "Immediately contact the academy and find a master who knows arithmetic and waterwork and ask them to come over quickly."
"promise!"
As a disciple, Xiao Yu naturally followed Yang Qian's orders.
Mu Qing stamped his feet, rushed outside the carriage, pulled Cao Wushuang in, and told him everything.
Cao Wushuang also looked like a monster.
Such projects have transcended the limitations of this era.
"Have you decided yet?"
Yang Gan shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to build it. If I want to build it, someone has to convince me."
"My money doesn't come from strong winds, and who knows how much it will cost to build such a canal. If there is too much money, I can't come up with it, and it won't be built."
Yang Gan's words are very down-to-earth and realistic.
Just thinking about the canal that runs through the entire Xia Kingdom can make people tremble with excitement.
But building a canal is not just about money.
Money, materials, food, craftsmen, and labor are all indispensable.
Money, this is easy to understand. Having money is nothing great, but without money, you will definitely not be able to accomplish anything.
Materials, if a certain material is overused, it can easily cause price increases in the market, disrupt the market, and even disrupt an industry.
Food and grass, Yang Gan had a lot of food, but it was not unlimited. Not only did he have to feed the border troops, he also had to trade. Once he spent too much, he would be in trouble if he couldn't make ends meet.
Craftsmen are easy to find. They may be in charge of the overall situation. There are too few management talents. Many craftsmen only know how to work but cannot manage people. They all do their own thing. In the end, each of them will only ruin this huge project.
Labor, this is the most critical point. As I said before, if we let our own people do this, we will have to spend a lot of money and food. If there are too many people die, there will be trouble, and even lead to domestic unrest.
If slaves are used, then the entire border army will be occupied. Someone must take care of these slaves. Otherwise, what will happen if they run away or rebel.
Yang Qian doesn't think about anything now. Don't worry, a large number of brain cells will be dead before the project is finalized. It won't be worth it.
When he came to the shore and looked at the slaves working continuously, Yang Gan couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhang Yumeng handed over a cigarette and said with a smile, "Don't keep scratching your hair, otherwise your hair will be bald when you are twenty."
Yang Qian told the whole story, which surprised Zhang Yumeng.
"Shui Hu seemed to be quite reliable in the past, but now it seems like a fantasy."
"Oh? You don't think so too?"
Zhang Yu dreamed for a while and said, "It's not that simple. The terrain here is flat, but there are mountains in some places. It's a different place. What should I do? Move the mountains away."
"Alas~~~!"
Yang Qian suddenly said fiercely.
"This attack on the street was originally a one-time attack. This time I wanted to give him two beatings to arouse my curiosity, but I found that it is almost impossible to achieve."
"This time I called some professionals and came over day and night. We held a meeting to discuss it. My brain is always limited."
Zhang Yumeng looked around and whispered, "If this canal has an impact on us, it's better not to build it."
"Didn't you say that the best way to end the troubled times is war? If you dominate the world, we will be in no danger."
Yang Gan looked at Zhang Yumeng in surprise, "You, weren't you an anti-war person before?"
"Go to hell with the anti-war people, I have recently seen the intelligence from Shang Guo and Liao Guo, and I feel that this world is too unstable."
"The princely states are not happy. Let's fight. If you lose face, fight again. Anyway, if you find an excuse, you will give them a stick. When will it end? It seems that they are all in mad dog mode."
Zhang Yumeng is a woman. She originally wanted to have a sense of security, do some small business, and have thick legs, but the situation outside was not optimistic.
I couldn't tell whether the vassal states would fight, but I couldn't stop it. Xiao Yu and Mu Qing were analyzing it.
The staff department of Tianshou Division will also report the results of the analysis one by one.
The amount of information in it is really amazing.
Yang Qian took a deep drag on his cigarette and sneered, "I want to, too, but I can't move now. The situation in the Central Plains can affect the whole body."
"If it's not a war to destroy the country, I can just do it casually, but it won't do me any good."
"Once it involves a war to annihilate the country, other countries will also feel the crisis. In the face of death, they will inevitably join forces to attack me."
"If the war is effective, it's okay. But if the war is ineffective, then I will be the most perfect scapegoat in the world. The nobles and aristocratic families will definitely not give up on me. The entire Xia Kingdom's clan will gather their strength to destroy my entire Yuntong structure. Almost exhausted."
"Then what's next for you..." Zhang Yumeng asked carefully.
Yang Gan touched his nose, looked at the hard-working but shackled slave below, thought for a while and said.
"I will not interfere in the war in the Central Plains. I will either not do it or do it absolutely. Once I intervene rashly, I will be trapped in a deep quagmire. Don't say I want to eat meat. It's still unclear whether I can climb out. You don't have to do this. Take care of it."
What he said was what Yang Qian was thinking in his heart, but there was one sentence he didn't say out loud.
In this way, he became more determined to kill Goguryeo.
Killing your own caravan is just an excuse to fight or not. After all, merchants have a low social status, so it doesn't matter. This is the case in all countries.
