Chapter 413 Prefect Li Bing
Hearing this, Wu Tian's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Since there is such a powerful person, the Grand Master should have brought him and introduced him to me."
Wu Yong said: "I have ordered him to come to Youzhou City, and I guess it's time to arrive today."
As he was speaking, an eunuch came in, bowed to Wu Tian, and said, "Your Majesty, there is a man named Li Bing outside the palace, saying that the Grand Master invited him."
When Wu Tian heard that Li Bing was coming, he was very happy and said to the eunuch: "Li Bing is my guest, please invite him in."
When the eunuch went out, he soon led a middle-aged man in.
"My minister Li Bing, I have met Your Majesty and the Grand Master."
Li Bing stood up and bowed without kneeling.
Wu Tian didn't mind either. He pointed to an empty seat and said to Li Bing: "Li Aiqing, you have worked hard all the way. Sit down, have a drink with me, and talk about the new water conservancy matters."
Li Bing bowed to Wu Tian: "I am just a small official in Shu, so how dare I sit with Your Majesty and the Grand Master? I should stand and talk."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "In my eyes, as long as you can do something that is beneficial to Liang State, you will be my guest of honor, and it has nothing to do with your official position."
Li Bing hesitated, and Wu Yong interrupted, "Your Majesty has said that, just sit down. It is convenient to talk to us when you sit down."
Seeing that Wu Yong had said this, Li Bing stopped insisting, bowed to the two of them, and sat down.
"I heard that Li Aiqing established Dujiangyan in Shu, protected the harvest of thousands of miles of Chengdu Plain, and relieved the flood. Tokyo City, Luoyang City and Chang'an City have floods. I want my husband to find a way to deal with these three floods. First, we can protect the safety of these escorts, and second, we can take the opportunity to develop agriculture around these escorts, develop the economy, and enhance the strength of Liang State."
Wu Tian said bluntly.
Li Bing bowed to Wu Tian and said, "Your Majesty's kindness, I can understand it. But I dare not assure you that you will definitely relieve the floods of the three major escorts. Because the terrain, water level and situations of the three major escorts are located in different ways, so the corresponding treatment methods are different. In addition, the treatment of floods cannot be blocked, but should be guided. Only reasonable drainage will not accumulate together, and there will be no flooding. The last point is to repair the river. The manpower and financial resources required in this regard are not simple. Back then, I spent nearly 100,000 manpower and millions of grain just to build Dujiangyan in Shu. The construction of the three escorts may consume far above Dujiangyan."
Wu Tian pondered for a while and nodded.
"Li Aiqing, you don't need to worry about the matter of manpower and money. Money can be dispatched from the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Lingnan areas on the spot. As for manpower, the Central Plains, Guanzhong areas can be dispatched. The population of the Central Plains and Guanzhong areas are no less than one million. These two people can be dispatched by Aiqing."
Hearing this, Li Bing nodded.
"If this is the case, I will have the confidence to manage the floods of these three accompanying capitals."
"Since my dear agrees to accept this matter, I will now designate you as the governor of the river and also serve as the governor of the river. You are responsible for all river management. If someone stops you, take action first and then report."
Wu Tian ordered with a serious expression.
