Chapter 272 Twelve Words (Part 1)

It’s getting cold. Every morning when I wake up, the windows are covered with beautiful ice flowers. Although they are pure and beautiful, the cold air quietly pushes people's hearts along with the ice flowers.

The plank road project was suspended and had to stop.

The weather was cold and the hands were not quick. On the cliffs, some defensive measures were also made, such as mooring several small boats under the cliffs, with several civilians with good water properties, specializing in rescue. They played a lot of roles, unlike in Sanmen, no matter how good the water properties fell, there was no way to rescue them. The water level under the Danshui River was still smooth. Even if the water flow was surging rapidly, it could not be compared with Sanmen. Sometimes, civilians fell into the water and immediately fished them up.

It was a very humane measure. However, when the weather was cold, there was thin ice on the river surface, which was eventually dangerous. Five civilians had already died. Of course, compared with such a huge project, there were not many. But the concepts were different. Li Wei finally lived in the future for the rest of his life and would not treat the people so cheaply. So he simply stopped.

But the beach removal project is still continuing.

It was proceeding very slowly. There were nearly 300 large and small tidal flats and reefs from Caoqiaoguan to the intersection of Danshui and Hanshui. There were also many civilians who were expropriated, with more than 20,000 civilians and nearly 100 ships assisting. Then they built an embankment to block the mudal flats and then pulled out the water. It was also very difficult because it was necessary to navigate, and at least it was guaranteed to be more than two meters deep during the dry season. Therefore, some very long water trucks were specially made to remove accumulated water and water from time to time. Then they hollowed out the sand and gravel bit by bit. These sand and gravels could not be poured into the river. Unlike the Yellow River, the water level was flat and cushioned and did not leave. They had to be pulled to the shore with a boat, especially some large reefs. It was not considered that navigation was a scenery, but navigation became a roadblock. These large reefs were like a small hill and were even more difficult to eliminate. After being thrown away, they had to be pulled up and could not be placed in the middle of the river.

Therefore, when Li Wei left, he only carved out more than 20 mudflats, all of which were all sandy beaches. It can only be said that although he spent a lot of money, the people did not think it was hard to be a benevolent government. After all, the salary was not too low, and the project could be carried out for five months, saving money and saving six or seven yuan. For farmers, it was also a considerable income, which could buy half a cow, or it could be worth the two years of rent-in-one regime in the court.

In fact, the constraints project is not manpower, nor has it any connection with financial resources, it is materials. Especially iron, the court has to fight eastward and defend against Tubo, and there are many troops. Armor, weapons and vehicles all require a lot of steel, agricultural tools, and workshops also require iron, but this cage-type ** requires more iron pillars, so the imperial court does not have enough pig iron resources.

In the middle of the winter month, Li Wei began to set off to return to Chang'an. He stayed in Danshui, not only commanded, but also sent many people to the middle and upper reaches of Danshui Canal and Zheng Dangqu. He touched it again and made a detailed supplement to the information written by Wei Hongji.

As soon as he arrived at Lantian Pass, he heard the news again. My father was not in Chang'an and was hunting under the Quwu Yuan in Huashan. Some things happened before. First, there was a meeting and the band was divided into two parts. My father asked Li Xian to host the East and Li Xian to host the West. The East and West competitions were won and lost. Hao Chujun advised: "King Yong and King Zhou were young and had ambitions and had no determination. They should recommend pears and dates to be together. Now they are divided into two parts, competing for each other, and they are competing for each other. They are extremely arrogant and may be in order to compete for victory and defeat, and they are not restrained in their words and ridiculed each other. They are not advocating etiquette and morality and encouraging friendship."

The father said, "Hao Qing's vision is beyond everyone's reach."

It was a normal advice, but Li Wei could hear something vaguely. Hao Chujun's words evaluated the second and third brothers as young and had ambitions, but there were many outliers. Later, Li Bi died suddenly at the banquet and gave up the drinking party for a day.

It seems that joy leads to sorrow.

This news did not attract much attention from Li Wei. After all, among the few prime ministers, Liu Rengui was not to doubt it, and Hao Chujun also supported him vigorously. But with another news, Li Wei took it seriously.

Zhang Junche, the deputy general of Jizhou, falsely accused the governor Jiang Wang Li Yun and his son Wang Wei of Runan County, and Li Yun was the seventh son of Li Shimin. He was his own uncle. However, this man had no ambition and liked to play. When he left office in Anzhou, he made many tools to play. After leaving office, he used 400 cars to pull these tools. The prefectures and counties were unable to bear the labor, and some officials submitted impeachments. This was also an example of enlightenment in the early Tang Dynasty, and ministers dared to give advice. It was not only aimed at Li Wei's various fantasies.

My father was lenient and did not ask. Later, he served as the governor of Suizhou and the governor of Xiangzhou.

If others can rebel, such a prince may not rebel. Besides, now the world is governed and the people are happy, who is willing to rebel? Not to mention that the prince and officials are the prince, even if they are the prince, dare to force their father to abdicate through military counsel? Although he does not have many resources, it is far more than the resources controlled by Li Yun.

However, Li Zhi seriously sent Xue Sizhen, a general servant, to investigate the matter. After hearing this, Li Yun hanged himself because he was afraid. His father knew that it was not a crime, so he killed Zhang Junche and four others, and asked Li Yun to bury Zhaoling. On the surface, he was falsely accused.

But Li Wei didn't think so. How dare a record officer joining the army, a first-class prince? Then contact his father to mobilize a large number of hunting, or force his father to be impatient, and his father is using this to declare the world that I am in good health. Don't think about it. Li Yun was just a chicken, killing this chicken, and shaking all the ministers in the court. It's not easy to kill them openly, so he used this method?

After staying in the East Palace for a long time, I can't help but think about conspiracy theories.

Maybe, maybe not, with a nervous mind, he went to Quwuyuan. Among the hunters, in addition to the ministers, there were two other people who attracted attention. One was Yuchi Fuxiong, the King of Khotan, and the other was Beilus, the King of Persian. Li Wei could guess the purpose of these two people without asking. The Western Turkic tribes made the Tang Dynasty disabled, either surrendered to Tubo or surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Yuchi Fuxiong was not satisfied with the exploitation of Tubo, so he had to hold the Tang Dynasty's thigh. Persia in Beilus was crippled and could not gain a foothold, so he came to the Tang Dynasty for help. However, the problems of Tubo in the Tang Dynasty were not solved, so how could it be possible to send troops to Dashi? This was also a destined to be fruitless.

When I saw my father, I greeted me respectfully.

Li Zhi said, "You are here just in time. I am going to go to Dongdu. You can go with me."

According to the previous practice, if Li Zhi went to Dongdu, he would be punished by the state, but this time there was no. Li Wei was not at all, why didn't you let me govern the state? He had to answer: "My son is so honorable."

Li Zhi asked about the construction of the two canals again, and Li Wei answered. Then he ordered Bier, Wan'er and Wei Yue to come together, and the large group of people set out towards Luoyang.

When he arrived in Shanzhou, Li Zhi was in good health for about the past few months. He also took a detour to Sanmen, stood on the top of the mountain, and watched the construction of the newly opened river in the Renmen Peninsula in the north. The weather was already very cold, but the construction did not stop. After all, it was necessary to be completed next year when the river was flooded. It was not like later generations, and there was a scientific measurement data. No, Wei Hongji had to try his best to build it deep and wide. He didn't even plan to stop work in the twelfth lunar month. It was not silt, it would freeze. With sufficient financial resources, some of it would be beneficial for the slow navigation flow in the future. But like Danshui Canal, it is limited to insufficient materials, and not like Danshui Canal, each section of the project is hundreds of miles long and can accommodate more people. Just like this big peninsula, after recruiting eight thousand civilians, there is no way to recruit again. So time is tight.

It is separated by three doors, but the weather is good and the light is sufficient, so you can clearly see the construction scene.

Before the two sides were opened, the river water reached the lowest time, so Wei Hongji sent someone to start to get out of the net. The interception was a bit far away and was about to cut the center of the Renmen River. Of course, Wei Hongji's determination and the depth of the new river were also seen.

The embankment had not yet been formed, and many mud bags were thrown with iron net bags on both sides, like a big open mouth, closing in the middle. Many civilians on the peninsula were busy, moving the gravel to the middle of the door and throwing it. The middle of the Xinkai River was a little deeper. Even standing on the top of the mountain, the people in the deepest part of the Xinhe River could not see it. They only saw baskets placed and then filled with gravel and pulled up. From time to time, there were explosions of gunpowder, white air from watering and vinegar, and thick smoke from burning coal.

There are countless tents and several houses on the edge of the peninsula, which are made of materials, and many people are watching on the top of the mountain. This construction method still makes the people feel novel, and even Luoyang has people come to watch.

Wei Yue whispered: "Your Highness, can I go and have a look?"

This is definitely not possible. If you are on the Ghost Gate Peninsula, you can still find a small path to inspect, but there is a Yellow River that cannot be ferried here. Moreover, there are thousands of people in the car. The emperor went there to inspect it personally, which was too mobilized.

Li Wei whispered: "Yue'er, you want to see. After you arrive in Dongdu another day, Gu will quietly take you out of the palace and come over to see it."

After hearing this, Pei Yuhe smirked with her little mouth.

It was considered to have seen it, and it was seen by the emperor, so Li Zhi gave a lot of wine and meat to the people. After hearing this, the people were happy and cheered. Li Zhi left with satisfaction.

But not long after driving, I stopped again.

Bier is about to give birth.

Bier is still very low-key, but the child in her belly is not low-key. She had to stop.

The childbirth was quite smooth. After all, Bier was in the East Palace and often participated in labor, and her body was considered healthy. Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his son and son were safe. Bier was too young, which made him very worried. The midwife took out a baby and frowned. She was born, and she couldn't tell that she was ugly and handsome, but a boy.

Liu Rengui grinned and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness."

He was very happy. He was one of the most loyal ***. However, the repeated repetition of His Majesty finally made him a little worried. At this time, the prince had a son. Although his mother was a little cold and thin, it was also an excellent bargaining chip.

Bier's face was also filled with joy, and she whispered: "Your Highness, give him a name."

"Call Li Lu."

What you are born on the road actually has another meaning. Your destiny is also halfway, life and death are uncertain, and misfortunes are unpredictable.

But Li Zhi immediately changed the name. He was still very happy to have a grandson. After hearing Li Lu's name, he nodded and said, "Okay, Li Lu, it was time for the two canals to clear the waterways. Where can I come, I will pass on my edict to pardon the people of Luzhou for one year."

Wu Zetian was also very happy and said, "Honger, come here, I will show you something."
