Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 396 Sweep
"In Wudang County, build a dike and weir for the Han River? Your Majesty, this... I'm afraid the project is huge. Even if there are cement and other materials, it may not be completed even if it takes decades for a county to build it." Li Yan listened to the white plan. After saying this, he frowned.

He really hopes to have an opportunity to make contributions and show off his abilities, but... Bai Tu's request is a bit embarrassing!
The Wudang area is rich in water systems. If Li Yan were to serve as Wudang Order, he would be able to build several new weirs and increase tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land within a few years...

But is that to build weirs for the tributaries of the Han River and collect them for one's own use? To build weirs for the Han River?The amount of this project is probably much larger than that of Duanyan!

"Of course it's not just Wudang County. If the project is started, half of the state's financial and human resources should be pooled, as well as the Ministry of Industry's comprehensive technical support." Bai Tu said matter-of-factly.

Pang Tong's "Zhen Qi Machine" has recently made a substantial breakthrough, taking a step closer to civilian use. As long as the energy problem can be solved, the big players in the steam industry will be launched one after another!

It is also the "genuine energy machine" that gave Baitu confidence. As long as the Han Weir can be built here at Wushankou, it is not only a question of how much water can be added to irrigate the fertile fields. The short-term strategic goal is to stabilize the water level of the upper reaches of the Han River. Can sail a warship!

Although the climate was relatively cold at this time, the amount of water in various places was generally higher than in later generations.

As for whether to go against the flow or not, that’s a story for another day…

Bai Tu also told Li Yan about the requirement that the dike should be equipped with Doumen Ship Channel - the earliest ship lock Doumen also appeared in the Qin Dynasty, and Li Yan was very familiar with it.

It's just that... Li Yan was a little unsure about such a big project!
At this time, Li Yan was very entangled. The original script in his mind should be like this - after the king discovered his talent, he was ready to reuse him, but someone among the tool people was jealous of him, so he created a problem for himself. In order to take care of the emotions of the tool people, the king I agreed to use difficult questions as a test, and then I passed the test in the eyes of others in disbelief...

In the last three years, he has served as minister and five years as a cabinet minister, reaching the pinnacle of his life!

But now...

A group of tool people are not good enough, but the king really wants to reuse himself, and even launched a big project, but...

It's too hard!
Why don't you say build a bridge over the Yangtze River?

Seeing Li Yan's troubled expression, Bai Tu breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Yan directly patted his chest to show that he was completely competent... then Bai Tu might not dare to leave it to him with confidence!

"I don't know much about the secrets of the Ministry of Industry, but the amount of people's power to be recruited is by no means a small amount..." Li Yan did not dare to take over everything.

Li Yan, like many people, is more modest in the fields he is good at. It is only in the fields he does not understand that he has no "beep" count.

When Bai Tu heard this, he said kindly: "In that case, Fang Zheng, are you willing to join the Six Ministries to observe government for one year? After one year, if you can take on this important task, the court will make its own arrangements. If you are still unable... Let the officials make arrangements."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Yan Ding will do his best!" Li Yan naturally heard that this was a very preferential treatment.

What Bai Tu means is that he hopes that Li Yan can understand the operating rules of the six departments this year and understand how to write the word "cooperation"!
"Work hard and try to build the Hanshui Weir, and then we will build the Yangtze River Bridge, hahaha..." Bai Tu smiled and patted Li Yan on the shoulder.

Li Yan:......

Li Yan was choked for a moment, and then realized... This is just a joking effort, right?
After focusing on promoting the deeds of Li Yan, the leader of Zigui, as a positive example, Bai Tu's "popularity" has also reached a higher level.

Among the counties and counties in Jingzhou, Li Yan has indeed performed outstandingly. This award is not only a credit to Li Yan, but also to other officials in Jingzhou.

Li Yan is a native of Nanyang. He is a county magistrate in Nanjun. Now because of his merits in governing the local area, he was immediately absorbed into the Six Ministries to Guanzheng. He looks like he wants to be reused. This will undoubtedly lead to conspiracy theories or the change of bosses. The sense of crisis dissipated somewhat.

After all, Bai Tu had been ruthless against two county magistrates who had serious problems before. Although the reasons were sufficient, especially in the local area, where a large number of accusations were posted, the empathy of rabbits dying and foxes pitiful is sometimes not so reasonable, let alone There are also instigators from people with evil intentions.

Moreover... after a county magistrate is promoted, you can appoint another trustworthy magistrate.

When passing by Zhijiang County, Dong He came directly to vote...

That is to say, while Bai Tu was reviewing government affairs in Zhijiang County, Dong He came to Naxian Hall!

It was a coincidence that he came to invest, otherwise Dong He's personal reputation and Dong's influence would not be ranked among those who would be visited by Bai Tu in person.

However, he took advantage of this moment and came to the Naxian Hall to recommend himself. However, after reporting the matter, he received a special interview from Bai Tu.

Bai Tu was not disgusted with this slightly naughty behavior. Not only did he comfort him with words, but he also made things normal.

After learning that the younger generation of the Dong family, including Dong He's son, would take the imperial examination this year, Bai Tu encouraged Dong's profound righteousness even more, and hinted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Dong He that he would be appointed as the Zigui Order in the future. …

Just Dong He's words, Bai Tu couldn't remember anything, but...

Dong He's son is called Dong Yun.

This made Bai Tu very happy.

Not only were they happy that Dong He and Dong Yun came to join him, but also because in history, Dong He, like Fei Boren, took refuge in Xichuan after the chaos in Jingzhou.

However, now Dong He has no intention of leaving, and instead joins the Chu State.

Sure enough, Fei Boren's relationship was just too strong, and it wasn't that his reputation was similar to Cao Cao's - this made Bai Tu very happy.

Who is Dong Yun?

The important official of the Shu Kingdom who appeared with Fei Yi in "The Master" was one of the Four Prime Ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty along with Fei Yi and Jiang Wan.

Well, if you round up, Bai Tu already has [-]% of Shushan's four phases...

Only the one from Nanyang is left...

But before going to Nanyang, Bai Tu had to go to Xiangyang first.

As the former center of Jingzhou Mansion, many civil and military officials left by Liu Biao were either waiting for Bai Tu to appease and praise them, or waiting at home for Bai Tu to invite...

Xiangyang is where Baitu has the most workload!

After all, those who really don't want to talk to Bai Tu will probably return to their hometown to take care of themselves or educate their children and grandchildren after the situation in Jingzhou seems to have stabilized.

The reason why Bai Tu travels from county to county is to invite these people. If they really don't want to go out, Bai Tu will try his best to take care of them, at least to spread the momentum in the local area.

As for those who have been living in Xiangyang City since they resigned...

"It's the source of my rainbow! Fortunately, my mental power is strong enough, otherwise I might be at risk of being drained dry!"

Bai Tu's mouth was gibbering, but his body was still very honest - he just wanted a step up. Compared to when he was in trouble, this was already a relatively happy trouble...
