"That's naturally the most beautiful thing about Little West Lake."

Li Yuanai said this without hesitation, "The West Lake is not a place to visit. There is a rebirth of thatch and muddy, and it is a paradise for snakes, rats, birds and beasts. It is not a matter of the word "Beauty."

What he said is true. Hangzhou suffered from the backflow of sea water and West Lake was greatly affected.

Today's West Lake is covered with grass and vines, and is a landslide lake with a pool of mud and stagnant water.

Li Mingda said in shock: "But when I was on the boat, my brother said that Hangzhou West Lake is famous all over the world!"

Li Yuanai held his forehead and smiled bitterly: "This is said many years later."

On the way to Jiangnan, Li Mingda was looking forward to the scenery of Jiangnan, and pestered Li Yuanai to introduce her to her to make her feel happy.

Speaking of Hangzhou, Li Yuanai casually said that West Lake in Hangzhou. After all, West Lake has become a symbol of Hangzhou in later generations. If you talk about Hangzhou, you have to talk about West Lake. If you talk about West Lake, it is natural that Hangzhou is Hangzhou.

I was quick-talking and didn't know how to talk, so the embarrassing scene appeared now.

The West Lake in later generations did not exist purely naturally. Its scenery is the product of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. It is not an exaggeration to say that the humanistic lake is prosperous.

The origin of the beautiful scenery of West Lake was Su Dongpo, a famous foodie in the Song Dynasty.

It was Su Shi dredged Maoshan River to accommodate the Qiantang River tide with the gate, and built the Yan River to specially accommodate the West Lake water, rebuilt the dike gate, controlling the accumulation and excretion of the West Lake water, so that the Qiantang River tide no longer entered the city of Hangzhou. He also used the remaining manpower to repair the six wells, piled up the dug silt in the West Lake, and built the long ditches and pedestrians since they passed by. The people in Wu planted water, and he hired manpower to plant water in the West Lake, so that the aquatic plants would no longer grow, and made the West Lake a wonderful scenery in Hangzhou.

All of this happened hundreds of years later, and the West Lake is now a mud pond.

Li Mingda said with regret, "I'm thinking about comparing it. Which side is more beautiful in West Lake in Hangzhou or the Bashui Villa?"

Li Yuanai looked at the sky, looked at Li Mingda's regretful look and said, "I really want to see it?"

Li Mingda nodded unexpectedly and expectantly.

Li Yuanai reached out and stroked Li Mingda's little head, and said, "Then your brother Ai will satisfy you! But you can't see it for a while. Come and shoot the tide first, and open your eyes to our little princess?"

Governing Hangzhou is Li Yuanai's last key move in governing Jiangnan.

From simple to difficult, plan step by step.

The simplest way to manage Suhu is to say that "Suhu is mature and the world is full". Relying on the natural geographical advantages of Taihu Lake, the fields in Suhu Lake are fertile, and there is almost no failure to harvest.

With the huge killing weapon of cotton, the economy of the two places has been directly driven.

The second is Quanzhou, which has the natural port of Quanzhou Bay and the foundation of China's shipbuilding industry. With a little luck, it has already been on track.

The caravans voyage to the Mediterranean are galloping above the sea.

Finally, it's Hangzhou's turn.

Hangzhou is no less than Suzhou and Quanzhou in terms of geographical location, and even more so: it is located in the lower reaches of Qiantang River and the southeast coast is also located at the starting point of the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It can be said that it is the throat of Wu and Yue, with powerful forces, water and flowers, and land controls mountain and wild.

However, the special geographical conditions have led to endless backflow of sea water.

It is common for Hangzhou to be flooded by sea water. No matter how convenient it is, it cannot cover up this fatal flaw.

Without solving the problem of Qiantang tide, Hangzhou will not be able to develop.

To manage Hangzhou, we must first fight with the sky and build a sea-shaking embankment on the coastline to block the backflow of sea water.

This is not a small project.

Officials of all generations have tried to build sea dams.

However, the Qiantang tide comes too frequently. At the beginning of each month, there are tides at the fifteenth day of each month. The tide is high and the force of the tide is strong. It is limited by manpower and material resources. Often, the seawall is still under renovation, and the surging tide comes, destroying and destroying the unfinished seawall.

The government spent a lot of money, consumed a lot of manpower, material resources, and even life. Because of the sudden tide, laborers had no time to withdraw from the seawall and were swept into the sea...

In ancient times of superstition, almost all the people in Jiangnan thought that the sea water was pouring back because of the unjust souls and tide gods. Over time, no one dared to mention the issue of controlling the tide.

Li Yuanai knew that sea water flowed backwards, and Qiantang tides were the product of the right time and place. The sea water flowed back to land due to the influence of the tide-induced force. The Qiantang River estuary is like a trumpet-shaped, and the tide is easy to advance but difficult to retreat. When a large amount of tides poured in from the Qiantang River estuary, the river surface quickly shrank, so the tide did not have time to rise evenly, so the back waves pushed the previous waves and stacked layer by layer.

In addition, the southeastern wind often blows along the southeast coast, and the wind direction is roughly consistent with the tide direction, which encourages the tide momentum.

This way of understanding the reason is to have a way to deal with it.

To put it bluntly, it is to seize time and build and form before the tide comes.

In January, August will begin. From August 15th to 18th, the sun, moon, and the earth are almost in a straight line, which is the time when the tide is at its greatest force.

Therefore, from the fifteenth to the eighth lunar month every year, the Qiantang River has the greatest tide.

After August, the tide will be much smaller.

After the August tide, it is the best time to build a sea-shaking embankment.

There will be a full year to start construction, which is a limited time given by God. The unfinished seawall will not be able to stop the August tide next year.

Li Mingda only felt that the big hands on his forehead were warm and his mind was blank, but he just nodded dullly.

I originally wanted to delay the governance of Hangzhou for another year and wait until the Tang Dynasty caravan that went out to sea in the distance came back.

Now, take this matter in advance and you can avoid the trouble of waiting.

After deciding to do it, Li Yuanai immediately ordered the recruitment of labor and prepared to build the Sea-Shaking Dike.

As Li Yuanai expected, many failures before and caused a considerable life accident, the people were a little nervous and frightened by the mobilization of the court.

Performing corvee is an obligation of the people in feudal society, and they have no right to fight, but this uneasy state will inevitably affect the progress of the project.

They are competing for time with God, and they will never be able to do without morale.

Sure enough, without a tide of challenge to God, it will show the courage and momentum of fighting against the sky, and stimulate the morale of the people, it will be difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people.

Li Yuanai also took out the secret order he asked for from Li Zhi: When he entered Beijing this time, he was like Li Zhi said about this.

To shoot the tide, the soldiers in Su, Hu and Hang provinces in his hands will definitely not work. They must be the kind of elite soldiers who can go to the battlefield and go to the battlefield.

The state soldiers who guard the place and the sergeant who actually go to the battlefield are completely different concepts.

Only by using elite and powerful martial arts can we understand all the people who observe the tide and understand their determination to govern Hangzhou.

Therefore, during the tide shooting, the soldiers stationed in Yangzhou were randomly mobilized by Li Yuanai.
