Dugu Shuming stared at this picture, his face becoming more and more solemn.

Li Chengkong finished painting and waved his hand, and Yuan Ziyan hurriedly laid out another plain note.

Li Chengkong continued to paint with his brush, then Yuan Ziyan changed the paper again, and Li Chengkong continued to paint.

Twelve of them were drawn in one go.

Dugu Shuming's face sank like water, and his bright eyes flashed like morning stars.

Li Chengkong put down the pen, took the towel handed by Yuan Ziyan, wiped his hands and said, "Madame, are you afraid?"

"This is one for one province, right?" Dugu Shuming said.

"Exactly. Li Chengkong nodded: "The topography of the twelve provinces is different, and the construction methods of the canals are also different, so they cannot be generalized. ”

"Alas......" Dugu Shuming shook his head lightly: "This project is too huge, I'm afraid it ......"

She could imagine that as soon as it was raised in the court, there would be a wave of opposition immediately, and there would even be death advice.

The amount of people required for this is so great that even the people will complain, and it is not known whether it will provoke a popular uprising.

If anyone takes the opportunity to incite it, it is likely that the world will be in chaos.

It's too dangerous.

Li Chengkong smiled and didn't speak.

Dugu Shuming frowned lightly: "Otherwise, come step by step." ”

Cultivate a little bit every year, with your current prestige, you should be able to carry it out, and it is almost impossible to think about it.

Li Chengkong said with a smile: "Madam, if you want to seek stability now, it will be too late when the drought comes, and there will be no place to cry when the time comes, so the people will obediently wait for death." ”

Dugu Shuming groaned: "Start storing grain now and buy grain from other countries." ”

The islands of Tianyuanhai are all warm and humid, and it is almost impossible to be dry, and people will think: Surrounded by the sea, there will be drought?

Therefore, canal irrigation is extremely slack, and the harvest basically depends on the sky, and the most common is waterlogging.

Too much rain led to a failed harvest.

Li Chengkong sighed: "This time the climate is abnormal, Xiyang Island will have a great drought, and the rest of the islands will not be calm, and the entire Tianyuan Sea will not be spared." ”

There is a great drought on Xiyang Island, and some islands will be flooded, and once the balance is broken, it will be unbalanced everywhere, and then it will become a natural disaster.

This year's Tianyuanhai people will not have a good time, and the waterlogging is better, after all, they all have experience in facing it, but the drought is too rare, and if there is no preparation, there will be no harvest.

"So grim?"

"You have to be prepared in advance. ”

Yuan Ziyan said: "Master, then do you want to inform the other islands?"

Li Chengkong groaned.

It may not be effective for him to say it in person, and the emperor of the Tianyuan Sea Islands may believe in his Qin Tianjian more.

"Otherwise, I reminded the Candle Yin Division. ”

"Well, that's the only way to keep them from passing it on. Li Chengkong nodded: "I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”

If the spread spreads, the imperial court will feel that the martial arts sects are inciting the people and disturbing the people's hearts.

Dugu Shuming's expression was solemn.

Li Chengkong said: "If it really doesn't work, let the Candle Yin Division come? ”

"Sir, they won't agree. Yuan Ziyan hurriedly shook his head.

How can these martial arts masters be extremely arrogant? How can they do what the servants do? It's okay to let them kill people, let them dig ditches and build ditches, they would definitely rather die than obey.

Li Chengkong smiled: "Then it depends on your means as the master, there will be brave men under the heavy reward." ”

"Master, what kind of reward do you get?" Yuan Ziyan said, "If you take the silver, they will definitely not agree." ”

"What's the reward?"

"Martial arts secrets?"

"Then use the secret of martial arts. ”

"Master, where are you going to get so many secrets? Yuan Ziyan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's impossible." ”

Li Chengkong muttered: "I will create a mental method to refine the body and increase strength and speed. ”

"What kind of mental method?" Yuan Ziyan said curiously.

"Let's call it Lingqu Jue. Li Chengkong smiled: "Give me ten days, and I can create it." ”

Yuan Ziyan said with a smile: "Master, they may not buy it, even if it is created by you yourself, Master." ”

Li Chengkong nodded.

"Then find a group of obedient ones. Li Chengkong said: "But don't say that I created it? ”

People often believe in the wisdom of the ancients more than in the people of today? Especially in martial arts? The slightest mistake is a mistake that leads to madness and even disgrace? A mental method that has not passed the test of time cannot be trusted.

"Yes. Yuan Ziyan nodded.

Li Chengkong looked at Dugu Shuming: "Madam, where the terrain is precipitous, let the martial arts masters of the Candle Yin Division come, and let the people come in the easy places, how about it?"

He picked up his pen again and sketched on the twelve maps, marking which people cultivated and which martial arts masters cultivated.

Yuan Ziyan stared at the twelve maps and said, "Master, could it be that you have taken the terrain of the entire Great Moon into your mind?"

"What's so hard about that. Li Chengkong put down his pen.

Dugu Shuming said: "I will find a way to implement it." ”

Li Chengkong has already achieved this level, and if he can't implement it, he will be too incompetent as an emperor.

Li Chengkong smiled: "It really depends on Madame's means, as well as Ziyan's methods." ”

"Don't worry, sir, wrap it up on me. Yuan Ziyan patted his towering chest.

Dugu Shuming still looked solemn.

She wasn't completely sure, and she really needed to think about how to minimize the resistance.

The construction of the imperial court often loses the hearts of the people, because the officials will squeeze the people to the greatest extent, which is a good opportunity for the officials to make a fortune, and they will never let it go.

Even as an emperor, he was powerless to stop this chaos, and the officials at this time, the upper and lower levels were one, full of tacit understanding, and the court could not catch the handle.

You can't think that they are corrupt, think that they are deductible, so just arrest them, there must be evidence, but it is difficult to find evidence.

In the next few days, Dugu Shuming always slept badly, tossing and turning, and his face was solemn.

When the family had dinner in the morning, Dugu Xian was very interesting and well-behaved, and he didn't stick to Dugu Shuming.

Li Chengkong didn't come up with any more ideas.

Dugu Shuming is qualified as an emperor, he can face problems alone, and he only needs to support himself in the back, needless to say.

Song Yuzheng was also notified by him that he was going to build a canal, but as expected, he encountered great resistance, and the courtiers opposed it in unison.

Even this matter has spread to the people, and the people have already discussed it, thinking that this female emperor is so happy, but she is really not a Ming Jun.

She hasn't built a canal for hundreds of years, and as soon as she, the emperor, takes the throne, she has to build a canal, what is this for?

It is said that it is a great drought, but how have there been any major droughts in so many years, only waterlogging, and repairing the canal is a waste of effort, in order to leave a mark, right?

This matter made Song Yuzheng almost a public enemy, and the opposition of the court was unanimous, and it could not be implemented.

She wanted to come hard and force it to be carried out by the holy decree, but the two old ministers hit the golden pillar with their heads, and they wanted to admonish each other to death, and they immediately stalemate there.

If she really wants to make a holy decree, these two old ministers will definitely hang themselves at home, but she firmly believes in Li Chengkong's judgment that if the canal is not built, it will definitely suffer.

In the end, she was ruthless and directly put the two old ministers under house arrest and isolated them from the world, so as to make a strong order.
