"Empress, third brother!" Zhao Yuanzuo quickly stepped forward to salute Empress Li and third brother.

"Brother, what good idea have you thought of?" Zhao Yuankan asked excitedly.

Queen Li sighed slightly. In fact, she was also curious. Even the civil and military officials in the court could not think of a solution. What good idea did Zhao Yuanzuo come up with? However, she knew that this was a state secret and would not ask for it. Although Zhao Yuankan was 18 years old, she was still a little unlucky.

Sure enough, Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly and said, "This is a major national event. It is not advisable to talk about it before it is completely decided! Dalang finally came here. Our family will not talk about state affairs today, but just talk about family matters."

"Yes!" Everyone quickly agreed, and a palace maid brought snacks and tea.

Everyone sat together to talk about family matters, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Zhao Yuankan said as he spoke: "Brother, a new pair of cousins ​​came to my mansion. The woman named Liu E, who is best at drum songs (rocking drums and singing). If you have the opportunity, please ask my man to go to my mansion to listen."

Zhao Yuanzuo pondered for a moment and said, "Third brother, are you a royal noble? Don't have too many entanglements with these people in the world.

I have also heard of this person. She was born in a poor and humble background and had long married a silversmith. She married Gong Mei, a young silversmith. Liu married her husband and followed Gong Mei to Kaifeng, the capital to make a living. Liu appeared with her husband and sang and made money, and she had a good reputation. Gong Mei learned that it was her third brother's choice girl, so she was unwilling to give up this opportunity, so she changed her name to Liu's cousin and let Liu enter the royal palace.

This person can give away his wife, so he must have some ideas. Please think twice!”

But Zhao Yuankan was like he was stepped on his tail and screamed, "Impossible! Liu Mei is not such a person! He is kind and loyal to me. How could he do such a thing? My brother must have heard some rumors. I tell you that it is all others who are jealous of Liu E and spread rumors and slander."

Zhao Yuankan's face turned pale and looked a little scary. Zhao Guangyi was furious when he saw this. He slapped the table and knocked the teacup to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

"I have also heard your wet nurse report this to me. I always think that you are so old and you should know what to do. I didn't expect that you would accuse your elder brother for a fair woman. It really disappointed me!"

Queen Li was also startled and hurried forward and said, "Don't be angry! Don't be angry! Third brother is young after all, so it's better for the official to teach him well."

Zhao Yuanzuo did not expect that these few words would cause so many things, so he quickly stepped forward to plead: "Dad, don't be angry, the third brother was deceived by others for a while. I see that the third brother is already at the age of getting married. In the future, he will stay away from this woman. Dad will introduce him to a good woman as his wife, which will make him feel at ease."

"Well, the man said it is reasonable! He sent an order to drive Liu out of the capital and never allow her to come back. The eighth daughter of Pan Mei, the governor of Zhongwu Army, was a virtuous and virtuous Pan, who was 16 years old. She was named the wife of Ju. She was granted marriage to King Han."

Zhao Yuankan was stunned for a while and said nothing. When Empress Li saw Zhao Guangyi's expression changed again, she quickly pulled Zhao Yuankan and said, "You are not grateful yet!"

Zhao Yuankan was a little stubborn and didn't say anything, but seeing Zhao Guangyi snorting coldly, he finally chose to compromise and stood up to thank him: "Thank you, Dad!"

Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly and said nothing more. Zhao Yuankan lowered his head secretly, and on the surface he surrendered, but he was very angry. Of course, he was angry and did not dare to face Zhao Guangyi's attack, so he could only secretly resent Zhao Yuanzuo.

I kindly asked you to listen to the opera, but you sued me in front of my father. We are brothers, why do you want this to harm me?

Although Zhao Yuankan nodded and agreed, he was indignant and the rift between his brothers arose from then on.

It was a good family gathering, but it ended like this. Zhao Guangyi was also very unhappy and hurriedly ended the party and asked them to go back and rest.

The next day, Zhao Guangyi threw out the suggestion of Water Great Wall in the court, but it was regarded by the ministers as the most unreliable proposal ever.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the King of Chu, and Zhao Yuanzuo stepped out and said, "I will report to the officials! Please hang the map of Hebei Road in the main hall, and the minister will explain it to everyone."

Zhao Guangyi nodded, and two eunuchs stood on both sides holding a huge map. Everyone's eyes were staring at it. Zhao Yuanzuo stepped up and prepared to explain it to everyone.

Zhao Yuanzuo coughed and said softly, "Officials, ministers, if we open the mouth of Yihe River in the west of Yichuan County, and guide the water to the east to the sea, more than 300 miles from east to west, fifty or seventy miles from north to south, and build dikes and store water for military farms, we can stop the enemy's cavalry from running away.

Our plan is called the Great Wall of Water. It is from Shenyuanbo, northwest of Baozhou (now northeast of Xushui County) in the west to Niguhaikou, Cangzhou (now Jinnigu today) in the east to Niguhaikou (now Jinnigu)

After completion: the water starts from the border of Cangzhou in the east, the coast of Heilonggang, and the west ends at Ganning Army. It combines along the Yongji River to break the boat and Huidian, and the square lake is one water, one hundred and twenty miles in Hengguang, dozens of miles to one hundred and thirty miles in length, and five feet deep. It starts from the Ganning Army in the east, and the Yongji Canal of the West Xin'an Army is one water, and the west joins the Echao Dian, Chenrendian, Yandandian, Daguang Dian, and Mengzong Dian are one water, one hundred and twenty miles in width, and thirty miles in length, or fifty miles in depth, and more than meter or six feet deep.

The east starts from the Yongji Canal of Xin'an Army, and the west ends at Mojinkou of Bazhou. Heshui Wendian, Xiaguangdian, Xiaoqian, Lizidian, and Dalandian are one water, Hengguangdian, 70 miles away, fifteen miles away or six miles away, and the depth is six or seven feet away... From the west of Baozhou, Hejiqiquan is Hejiqiquan, Shangquan is rice fields, square fields, Hengguang ten miles away, and the depth is five to three feet away, which is called Xitangpo. Since He Chengju took Huang Mao as the judge, he started to set up military fields, build dikes and store water to block and solidify, and then it has increased. All rivers along the border, such as Hutuo, Hulu, Yongji, etc., all rivers gather in the pond.

All adults know that Xiongzhou and Yingzhou generation are mostly abandoned saline-alkali land. If irrigated with water, rice can be planted, and instead, more than 10,000 mu of fertile land will be added to subsidize military use."

After hearing this, everyone came forward to watch and ask.

Zhao Yuanzuo explained to them one by one: "My sirs, I have some considerations to propose this Water Great Wall plan.

In fact, as early as the Han-Hungary War, Emperor Wu of Han had transformed the Yellow River to replace the Great Wall and resisted the Xiongnu cavalry. However, the construction technology in the Han Dynasty was too low, so he had to give up. Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms era also built a pond in Liuhe, Jiangsu with a scale of 100,000 manpower, successfully withstood the impact of the Wei cavalry.

Compared with the past, our construction level has increased significantly, and the project volume of this plan is relatively small. Just dig up the existing rivers, lakes, and swamps, and supplement it with a small number of fortresses.

Moreover, it is also relatively hidden when implemented, giving the Liao people the impression that they are building water conservancy farming rather than overhauling fortifications, so they will not attract harassment and damage from the enemy.

The third is what I mentioned just now. These areas have more saline-alkali land and are not suitable for planting dry land crops. If the land is diverted and flooded, and rice fields are replaced, military farms can be developed to subsidize military use."

After listening to Zhao Yuanzuo's explanation, Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed and slapped the Long Shu desk and said, "Return the Youji, and destroy the forest Hu will be the best!"

Although Zhao Yuanzuo's explanation was explained, everyone was still a little confused, but they did not come out to object. Apart from the Northern Expedition last summer, Zhao Yuanzuo never went to Hebei to work. How could he come up with this plan? It was clearly the decision of the government, but it was just for him to propose it!

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Yuanzuo finished speaking, Zhao Guangyi made a statement that the government wanted to act arbitrary and no one could stop him!

"It is planned to appoint He Chengju, deputy governor of the Zhangwu Army, as the commander of the border military farming envoy in Hebei. He ordered the surrounding prefectures and counties to recruit labor and dispatch labor, guard the imperial guards of various prefectures and assist the border troops, and it is estimated that 20,000 people will build the Great Wall of Water."

He Chengju? This is another irrelevant person. In history, he proposed and directed the construction of the Great Wall of Water. Guan Wei has already advanced the views of others by 2 years. Please give the credit for this main construction to others!

Zhao Yuanzuo was recommended by Guan Wei and had known He Chengju. This person is a civil and military genius. Currently, with Mi Xin as the deputy envoy of the Zhangwu Army in Xingzhou. Mi Xin was illiterate and acted violently. He was the governor of the Zhangwu Army and was deployed in Xingzhou. However, he was not familiar with political affairs at all, and He Chengju was responsible for all matters.

At that time, Xingzhou implemented square fields, and He Chengju was responsible for the matter of all kinds of military farming. It was just right for him to preside over the construction of the Great Wall of Water and military farming!

How did Guan Wei find such a suitable candidate?

Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Zhao Guangyi continued: "I planned to promote Yichuan County to Anshun Army, surrender Xiongzhou to Waqiao Pass, and establish Anshun Village. Add Yang Yanzhao to the commander of Anshun Army, and also the defense envoy of Waqiao Pass, Yijin Pass, and Yukou Pass; Niu Quanzhong was the chief magistrate of Anshun Army."

"I ordered all parts of Hebei to collect people and fill them up. If each household has ten cents, it will give 150 mu of land; if it is seven cents, it will be 70 mu; if it is five cents, it will be 50 mu; if it is three cents, it will be 30 mu. It will be announced that everyone has no seeds and no plowing oxen, and they can borrow it from the government; if it is five years after the land is opened, the government will collect rent and taxes."

Zhao Guangyi had obviously thought about it a long time ago. After the imperial edicts were issued one by one, the Song Dynasty began to operate again.

Guan Wei has been relatively leisurely these days. Eighth Sister and Jiu Mei have also resigned from this position of Dutou and asked Yang Ji to be this Dutou. In fact, he thought it should be the Black Tiger to follow him, but Black Tiger has been in the army for a short time after all, and Yang Ji is from an old military background, which is obviously more suitable.
