"Everyone, don't make personal attacks. You greet my father and I greet your mother. Why bother."
"The important thing is that no matter what kind of doctrine, it is just to let those in power manage the world well."
I saw that everyone was gradually being comforted by myself.
Yang Qian smiled and said, "You might as well express your opinions."
An old man stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if nothing else, although I am a descendant of the Mohist family, I am more interested in arithmetic."
"Such a massive project, a rough calculation would require at least one million people and one million gold plus countless supplies and food to build."
Another Mohist disciple said, "Building the canal is huge and not only wastes money and wastes people, but if too many people die, it will probably cause resentment among the people."
Confucian masters began to express their opinions.
"Everyone is talking about the disadvantages of the canal, but have you ever thought about it? Once this river is built, what a prosperous era it will be."
"Speaking of which, I wonder if we can use the Chuanyun River. You must know that the Chuanyun River is more than a thousand miles long."
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on this person.
He was startled and smiled.
Yang Gan's eyes couldn't help but light up. Yes, he just wanted to dig a canal of more than three thousand miles, but after all, he was only half-hearted.
Regarding water conservancy, I know everything about water conservancy, but I know nothing about it.
"Huh, Chuanyun River? Do you know why there is Chuanyun River, but my north is still short of water? That's because the branches of Chuanyun River are relatively stable, but the main vein of Chuanyun River is extremely turbulent, even more so than the Yellow River."
"Yes, so there is almost no farmland near the main vein of the Chuanyun River. Who knows when there will be a flood. Once the flood comes, everything will be gone."
Yang Qian, who was still sitting neatly, was now putting his feet up and using nail clippers to constantly correct his fingernails.
Fingernails that are too long have a serious impact not only on holding weapons or shooting arrows.
Nina and Moshashi kept holding the wine gourd, but there was nothing they could do. Yang Gan's wine gourd was too heavy, and it would only be heavier if it was full of wine.
"Ha~~~!"
An hour later, Yang Qian patted his mouth and let out a long yawn.
I have to say, no matter what, you just need to talk about it openly. If it doesn't work, just have a quarrel, and the effect will be good.
At least Yang Gan has felt that one end of the scale is beginning to tilt.
Sometimes, many people's talents are unstable. It just so happens that you don't need to think over it when you quarrel.
Debates among masters are slightly better than quarrels, and they will blurt out after a while.
Sometimes a flash of inspiration can create great miracles.
Whenever someone talks about a topic and explains the pros and cons, Yang Gan's eyes will light up and he will wave his hand.
Let Yu Zhuzi record it directly. Regardless of whether they are prairie people, all nobles on the prairie can still speak Chinese characters and languages to a certain extent.
After another hour, the voices of the debate gradually became quieter, and both sides restrained themselves and did not make any move.
Even though the Mohists were not very famous in later generations, the Confucianists were full of talented people, but in this era, both sides were extremely powerful.
Once it is torn open, there will definitely be blood.
Seeing that the situation was gradually becoming clearer, Yang Gan nodded to Xiao Yu, who immediately exited the camp.
Not long after, two stretchers were brought in.
Everyone looked around. Some masters couldn't recognize who it was, but some people recognized it instantly.
"Hey, isn't this a water tiger?"
"This, this is Shi Huacai who knows the mineral veins very well."
"What happened to the two of them? Are they beaten like this?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are blood stains on my butt, I'm afraid I was beaten hard."
"From now on, let's talk wisely, otherwise we will be the ones who are afraid of being beaten."
Yang Gan said to the two of them, "Each of you will be rewarded with ten military sticks. Do you agree?"
Shui Hu raised his head with difficulty and glanced at Yang Qian. He gasped and said respectfully, "When I am convinced, let alone ten sticks, even twenty sticks are not too much."
"Okay~~~! You ladies have just discussed it and feel that a canal of three thousand miles is not suitable in terms of money, food and personnel."
"Of course, some people agree with you two. After the canal is dug, it will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes to our Xia Kingdom. You are the canal director, so tell us."
Shuihu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and with the help of his servant, he carefully sat on the mat. The moment he touched it, he suddenly grinned.
"Your Majesty, I have figured it out in the past few days. If the various ancient rivers and artificially dug and abandoned canals could be connected in series, they might only be 2,500 miles long."
"In this way, we only need to build a few dams in key places to raise the water level to the desired height. The rest does not seem to be particularly difficult."
Yang Gan glanced at a nearby Confucian disciple, who immediately raised his hand.
"Master Water Tiger, if the Chuanyun River can be connected to the canal, can the amount of work be reduced?"
"This~~~!"
To be honest, Shuihu had never considered Chuanyunhe at all, and he didn't even look at the route map of Chuanyunhe when he told Yang Qian.
It's just a rough idea. Such a project cannot be discussed within a few months.
Who would have known that Junshang would be so fast? In just a few days, he would have gathered dozens of professionals.
In addition, he himself is not from the Xia Kingdom, but from the Shang Kingdom. He knows that all that can be seen in the Chuanyun River are branches, the water flow is gentle, and there are no waves.
"To be honest, I don't know much about Chuanyunhe. Can someone explain it to me?"
Confucian disciples like to educate others most, and one of them immediately jumped out and said.
"The Chuanyun River is the longest and widest river in our Xia Kingdom. We Xia people usually farm near its tributaries, because there are often floods in the main river, which is very unsafe."
"The Chuanyun River starts from Baiyun Pass and ends at Chaoxian. Although it is winding, it is not winding. Unfortunately, the lake is turbulent and not suitable for sailing."
After speaking, he marked Chuanyun River on the map and placed it on the table in front of Shuihu.
Shuihu took a deep breath, he was now on the verge of riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off.
To put it bluntly, I just mentioned a concept, but you want me to create something based on the concept. You really respect me.
But after all, he is a professional, has his own arrogance, and can endure beating himself with ten army sticks.
Failure to report the situation in a timely manner, modification of engineering drawings without authorization, and poor construction resulted in the death of 1,500 workers.
The three charges added together, let alone the ten army sticks, would not be unjust even if he beheaded himself.
But when it comes to professional fields, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, you are just a younger brother.
In the originally dull camp, as Shui Hu wrote and drew, everyone stood up one after another and gradually gathered around him.
"Hey, this is the first time I've seen a canal built like this."
"It's just a big circle, nothing unusual."
"If you look carefully, the access point of the canal is good. It is directly connected to the most turbulent part of the Chuanyun River, which is unexpected."
"If the Chuanyun River, which is more than a thousand miles long, is not used, the amount of work will increase from more than 2,500 miles to more than 1,500 miles. From this point of view, it is not impossible."
"Da da da~~~!"
Yang Gan looked at the drawings and tapped his fingers on the table.
To be honest, when he just heard about more than 3,000 miles, Yang Qian really wanted to twist off the water tiger's head.
I didn’t expect that after so many miles east and west, it was only about 1,500 miles.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Yang Qian. They didn't know how your Majesty would arrange such a huge project.
After a long time, Yang Qian took a long breath and said softly, "It's still too long."
He sat up straight and said loudly, "Although our water resources in the north are not as large as those in Monk Xingguo's country, we still have
There are many rivers. Can we start from the existing rivers? "
The water tiger suddenly became energetic, "Yes, if the existing river is widened, it can be reduced by more than 500 miles. In other words, the length of the river that needs to be dug will only be more than 1,000 miles."
"Water Tiger, how far did you dig in one year?"
Shuihu sighed, "According to previous calculations, the canal should be more than a hundred miles long. But after digging, we found that if it can be extended to more than 300 miles, we can open up four or five counties. The most important thing is to be able to follow the North Korean government." The virtuous are connected.”
Shi Huacai also said, "Your Majesty, once this canal is completed, it will be an eternal miracle."
"Connecting the east and west can not only promote cultural exchanges, but also trade, transport soldiers, grain and grass. Most importantly, with such an endless canal, my entire Xiaguo will become a fertile field and a land of abundance."
"It can also prevent soil loss and reduce the risk of drought. After digging through the Chuanyun River, it can also calm floods. This is a good thing that kills several birds with one stone."
Yang Gan sneered, "Yes, it's a good thing, but do you know how much it costs? How many slaves?"
"Other people say that I am good at making money, and people in the wealthy family also say that I am a bandit and a gangster, but in my opinion, compared with you, I am at a disadvantage."
Everyone couldn't help but smile.
If you want to talk about who is good at fighting, everyone will say so-and-so from Shang State, so-and-so from Liao State, and so-and-so from Xia State.
After all, Yang Qian has only become famous in the past few years.
But when it comes to making money, everyone who knows it knows that the richest person in the Xia Kingdom is Lord Wu An.
Even big businessmen who consider themselves businessmen admire Yang Gan.
Whatever Yang Gan manages can create several wealthy businessmen.
Tea, glass, skin care products and cosmetics, soap, perfume, alcohol, woolen sweaters, rapeseed oil, etc., are all produced by ourselves and have the greatest profit.
Among them, tea, perfume, and soap are undoubtedly the most profitable, because they don't cost much at all.
The cost of woolen sweaters is also very low, but unfortunately the transportation cost is high, so I can only make a little money, if the canal is opened.
Yang Qian can probably laugh in his dreams, and free shipping is available for large transactions.
There is also silk produced in Wufeng County. Yang Gan kept silent and took half of the share, causing the price of textiles on the market to rise.
