Chapter 27 The cold goes with the Xia Embankment(2/2)
Holding on to the rope on the basket, he took the opportunity to ask. "May I ask you, Lord, is there something wrong with the project, or is Uncle Fang a little dissatisfied with this visit?"
"None of them." After hearing this, Gongsun Xun simply put down the basket in his hand, and just leaned on the lifting pole with a bitter smile and shook his head. "It's just because the project is about to be completed, and I was thinking randomly, but I didn't want Uncle Zi to see clearly."
"Why are we thinking wildly when the project is about to be completed?" Lou Gui pulled the basket and looked around, also puzzled. "Of course I don't understand water conservancy, but since the beginning of last month, I have worked hard for the past two months. Now the embankments are gradually completed and the ditches are also
It gradually became denser, and the people coming and going, both common people and dignitaries, were very happy. The swampland where Yiyang originally belonged was gradually emptied, and turned into fertile farmland visible to the naked eye... Everyone said that they would renovate it after the New Year.
Is this thing going to happen?"
"It is precisely because everyone's faces are so happy and the swamps can be seen transformed into fertile fields with the naked eye that I feel deeply impressed by this project." As he said this, Gongsun Xun actually sighed. "Uncle Zi, between you and me.
There is no need to hide anything. Others don’t know. You should know what I want when I come to Zhao to be an official. It’s just the qualifications for the place. Maybe I also want to compete for the local people’s hearts and talents. However, although the embankment construction this time is
It all worked out naturally, but suddenly I felt that it was a waste of people's energy."
"Have you thought too much, Lord?" Lou Gui's heart moved, and he suddenly realized what the other party meant. "Water conservancy is no different from other things. It is something that has been used for hundreds of years. The Baigong Canal in the south of Handan City has been in use for more than a hundred years...
But in a few years, the world will be in turmoil, and your hard work will not be in vain."
"I'm not worried that this Xia Di will be abandoned." Gongsun Xun shook his head and said. "I was on the embankment just now and saw the faces of the people who were building the embankment were happy, but I was worried that these people who worked hard to build the canal would not be able to enjoy their hard work.
... In a few years, if chaos really breaks out as you and I think, will these people really be able to farm here? And where will you and me be at that time? Maybe we can protect the people here.
?”
Lou Gui was silent for a while, and then he slowly shook his head: "The Lord is still wrong!"
"Uncle, please speak." Gongsun Xun was as frank as ever.
"Your Majesty, the world is about to be in turmoil. You are worried that the people of Zhao cannot survive alone. No matter how hard you work today, it will be in vain in the future, aren't you?"
"good."
"But sir, turmoil is ahead. The hard work of the people of Zhao may be useful or useless, let alone useless. What's the use of sighing here like you do?"
"..."
"I'm sorry to speak frankly." Lou Zibo was rarely serious. "When I was young, I, Lou Gui, felt that the world was going to be in chaos, so I recruited desperadoes all day long in order to gain some industry. But why did I go all out when I saw the prince?
How about letting the prince drive away? Isn’t it because I think that compared to me, the prince is the one who is more qualified to put down the turmoil? "
Gongsun Xun was silent for a moment.
"As for how to quell the turmoil." Lou Gui turned to look at the governor's ceremonial guard and a bunch of Zhao dignitaries and celebrities who suddenly appeared on the river embankment, but he showed disdain. "The prince has the power of a county, build a Xiaxia
The embankment will enable the people of a county to live and work in peace and contentment, but there are hundreds of counties in the world, so they are worried about the local people... However, if the king can one day take charge of hundreds of counties in the world, build hundreds of public schools, and build hundreds of dykes, how can he
Is there a commotion?!"
"I understand what Zibo means." Gongsun Xun bowed his hands in thanks. "In other words, if you cannot bring peace and happiness to one county today, how can you be qualified to bring peace and happiness to hundreds of counties in the future?"
At this point, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, but neither said anything more... However, they both knew in their hearts that if the world was not in chaos, why would a boy from a border county be in charge of the power and responsibility of a hundred counties?
Did you castrate yourself and enter the palace?!
————I am the dividing line that can withstand two hundred pounds————
"Taizu was the order of Handan and built a Xia dike on Luhe River in the north of Handan, opening up 5,000 hectares of fertile land in three counties. When it was about to be completed, Zibo followed Taizu on the embankment. Seeing that the people and the people were all happy, he sighed: 'The world is general.
There is chaos but you still don't know, the embankments are solid and the fertile fields are solid, how can you enjoy this joy for a few days in peace?" Taizu was not happy and rebuked: "Irrigation has been done for hundreds of years. His people will not receive this virtue, and his descendants will not!
