Chapter 83 Water Diversion

After returning from his second sister, Liu Che started his drawings again. He had only one purpose of doing these, which was to divert water, spread the water of the lake, and quickly expand the dry wasteland or farmland of Shangjun, attract more people to move in, so as to truly build this place into a rich and border city comparable to Chang'an.

There are twenty-three counties in Shangjun City, and Qianshui County where Hongjiannao is located is dozens of miles away from the center of the border city, and there is also a Pingdu County in the middle. If the project is to be started, all these must be discussed with Li Guang, the county magistrate.

"Sister He'er, this is lamb leg. You can try it. Your brother has eaten it, so don't worry about it." Liu Che said, pointing to a plate of chopped lamb leg meat on the table.

Ma Zhiyu wanted to argue that he didn't eat, but was forced back by Liu Che's sharp eyes and was very depressed.

After pushing the lamb leg back, Ma Heer said, "The soldiers fought desperately, but Heer had not made any achievements and dared not eat this sumptuous meal. Let's give them to the soldiers under the prince's brother!"

"Oh, let me tell you the truth. This mutton was snatched back from the Huns. They went to escape with their lives. Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep that were just used as food were thrown aside, which made it cheaper for me and the soldiers.

On average, each person can divide seven or eight cattle and sheep. Not only did they repay the cows borrowed from the people, but they also made the soldiers rich. The lamb leg meat on the table was made just now, so you can eat it with peace of mind!" Liu Che looked at Ma Heer with a smile.

"Yes, sister, don't be polite. This is specially made by the prince for you. The prince and I have never tasted it before!" Ma Zhiyu saw that Liu Che looked at him and knew that he had said too much, he continued in a low voice.

No wonder the ancients used war to support war. The materials obtained through robbery could indeed provide consumption of their own army. Only this method could persist in fighting the war and robbing the land of gold, silver, treasure, cattle, sheep, slaves and land obtained in war was a guarantee that they could return home in glory in the eyes of generals and soldiers.

When Ma He'er heard what his brother said, he couldn't help Liu Che's refusal, so he picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and sent it to Liu Che's mouth.

He wanted to dodge, but Ma He'er refused to do so and pretended to give it to his brother, so he handed it to Ma Zhiyu.

"Well, it smells so good." Ma Zhiyu smelled it.

Liu Che quickly said that the mutton on the chopsticks disappeared. Ma Zhiyu, who could not even be found, turned his eyes to Liu Che. When he saw this, he burst into tears. Prince, you are so cruel!

"Prince, this is what my sister gives me!"

With an innocent expression and eating with relish, Liu Che ignored it, but turned to ask Ma Heer: "Sister Heer, is this what you gave me to eat?"

"yes……"

The city wall was destroyed by the Huns. Looking at the blood-red wall that was beyond recognition, Li Guang no longer wanted to say anything. This blood was flowing desperately, and the frontier war was really a evil demon's cave.

It is necessary to repair the wall. At this time, he had already asked Shi Tou to recruit hundreds of civilians and asked them to repair it within three days. Without a complete barrier, Li Guang could not rest assured. As a county magistrate, he was the emperor to manage the land on behalf of the emperor, and the contribution of the city wall was understandable.

Li Guang took good care of the people and did not urge them. He also asked the kitchen to add half a pound of beef and mutton to their food.

Anyway, it was stolen, so I don’t feel sorry for spending it at all…

But the people are very useful. Meat is an extremely luxurious thing on weekdays. Eating a piece of meat is enough to make them work hard to repair the wall.

With a lot of thoughts, Liu Che came to the bottom of the city wall with his achievements for a few days - the road drawing for diversion of water.

Li Guang personally went to the battle to build the wall, which made Liu Che look up to him. It has been a few years since he came to the Han Dynasty. What impressed him the most was the suffering of the people. The hunger that could be seen everywhere along the way to the border, and the princes who oppressed the people put him on the verge of collapse.

But before he ascended the throne, he would have no power for a day, and Liu Che was powerless and could only urge the rushing army to speed up and treat it as if it was invisible.

He also joined the ranks of civil servants, but unfortunately, he was discovered by Li Guang shortly after working for a long time. The reason was that his body was about 1.5 meters tall, so it was too obvious. Isn’t this recruiting child labor!

He pulled the prince to the tree beside him, and Li Guang laughed and said, "Criminal, where are you doing this? Just Li Guang can do these jobs, so I can trouble you."

"What the people do is hard work and livelihood. What can't be done in this palace?"

"Uh, the prince's opinion is very real!"

"I came to you for one thing, and you have to agree to this."

He took out the drawings in his arms, handed them to Li Guang, and signaled him to take a look.

I don’t know what the prince was trying to do, but Li Guang looked at it carefully, but after reading it, he became even more confused, "Crown Prince, what are you doing? The route above has passed through several counties in Shangjun. Does it have any deep meaning?"

"In order to divert water! The water from Hongjianao has many tributaries, and the source is very stable. If the lake water is diverted into the main city of this border, it is believed that the border will become prosperous. At that time, using this place as a transit, it will be more convenient to capture the territory of the Huns!"

Li Guang immediately stood up and said in surprise: "Is it appropriate to build a canal? Will the people reject it? They have always been on guard, but now they are taking over the Hetao area. They have never been done before, which makes Li Guang a little worried."

"With this palace's reputation as Hong, you can rest assured that the people. Attacking the rich land of Hetao is a matter of benefit. Isn't it necessary to pursue it while you are victorious?

The Huns can oppress us Han people. Could it be that our palace is going straight in and conquering this foreign ambition, isn’t it a boundless achievement that the people expect?” Liu Che said lightly.

"Li Guang agreed with this snatching the Hetao area. He regards He Xiong as the most glorious thing, and counterattacking the Huns is a rare opportunity, but Li Guang is puzzled whether this water diversion can bring practical results."

In Liu Che's opinion, it is very common to draw water and build a waterway, but he is confused in front of these brave famous generals.

There was no larger waterway at this time

Water diversion is not very popular

It makes them worry very much

Although Liu Che didn't think this was a difficult decision at all

I had to make the fire worse, "General Li Guang, what do you think of the credibility of this palace?

Since this matter of diversion of water was proposed by our palace, isn’t it credible?

This palace never believes in slandering. What can be done is like a small enemy, or a powerful soldier is like a trick on you?"

"This... the prince must draw this water?"

"It must be led!"

With a long sigh, Li Guang stretched out his big palm, "If you want to do it, Li Guang will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman!

This water needs to be diverted, and this land needs to be robbed!

Having shared joys and sorrows, Li Guang knew that the prince was a reliable person and hoped to do something big with the prince that he had never done before!

Flashing high as a swearing!"

"Hahaha, if you follow me, Li Guang, no one will say that Li Guang will be difficult to seal it!"

After slapping a briskly, Liu Che laughed.
Chapter completed!
