Chapter 293: Great Chu's First National Goal (Part 2)

With the two questions raised by Kou Ge, the entire auditorium fell into silence.

All the officials were digesting what Kou Yan said.

Everyone is a civil servant, and no one understands it or understands it. It turns out that starting a war is so troublesome and difficult.

The journey is like a mountain. When we talked about war earlier, everyone thought that this kind of thing was just a matter of a king's mouth, and then the rest was all dependent on the generals and the soldiers' bravery.

Now I realize that there are so many things to pay attention to in a fight in love.

In fact, fighting a war is not so difficult, but Kou Yan is very cautious, especially when he is responsible for leading a war.

Don’t seek great victory, but seek victory!

So Kou Wei will not defeat the war, he will recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as a national war!

Fighting a national war is not a matter of a general, but a matter of a country. We must be firm and stable.

Either way, Kou Wei is so powerful that he is a commander like him who never takes any risk to defeat him.

After talking about two questions, Kou Wei took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued to talk down.

"The border defense and suffering from problems are as serious as my Dachu at present. It seems that there has not been any trouble yet, but I have to be careful to prevent it.

The first is Li Deming of the Western Xia. His family was the predecessor of the Dingnan Army of Li Tang. He was the Dangxiang clan. He has developed ambitions since the fall of the Li Tang country. Since his father Li Jiqian, he has started to create the Dangxiang text and intends to cut off the Central Plains civilization that the Dangxiang clan had already penetrated into the bones, and became independent in the Ling, Xia and other places.

However, it is located in the hinterland of Hetao and is deeply trapped between our Great Chu and Liao Kingdoms. Therefore, it has always been a fence-bearing man. If Liao is strong, it will be attached to Liao and disturb our Central Plains. If the Central Plains are strong, it will surrender and restrain the Liao Kingdom.

According to my husband's opinion, when dealing with the Dangxiang, you can use both kindness and power, drive strong troops to suppress the enemy, and reward a lot of money to comfort your heart, so you will definitely make it..."

Luo Yongsheng, who had never spoken, couldn't help it at this time.

"After all, I will never give a bronze medal from the alien race. If you want him to be honest, he must be honest. If you don't obey, you will fight. If you don't accept it, you will kill you! Since he founded the text and cut off my Chinese civilization, Dangxiang was not worthy of living anymore!"

All the officials suddenly felt a sudden stern.

At this moment, they all thought of the Fushui Man and Shunzhou Man in Guangxi.

Two ethnic groups, forty or five hundred thousand people, were completely slaughtered by Luo Chengwu.

Listening to Luo Yongsheng's words, he was trying to destroy the Western Xia country!

Since Luo Yongsheng was unwilling to adopt this suggestion, Kou Shi had to change his mind.

"Since that's the case, the court must build a defense line in Shaanxi within these five years, and be careful about the development of the Dangxiang, so as not to invade the border and harass the land of Guanzhong when our army is expeditioning north."

After saying that, Kou Yan glanced at Luo Yongsheng and found that the latter stopped speaking, so he continued to say.

"The last thing is the problem with the Yellow River.

In the past decade, the flood problem of the Yellow River has become increasingly serious. The root cause is that the riverbeds in the downstream are silted and difficult to pass through, resulting in different degrees of dam breakages in the middle and upper reaches during heavy rains. In the light, several counties will be flooded, and in the heavy, it will affect more than a dozen prefectures, which has reached a point where it has to be solved.

During the Xianping period, the Song Dynasty court had already come up with corresponding plans for the Yellow River issue, either dredging the downstream river channels, widening the middle and lower riverbeds, and excavating tributaries.

But in this way, it is expected that four to five million migrant workers will be used, 20 million stones of grain and 10 million pieces of winter clothes will be used, and the total cost will be no less than billions of qian!

Don’t forget that the Song Dynasty could be used to collect labor service, but our great Chu Dynasty was clear and clear, and no longer forced labor service, but it was changed to a labor system. Employment was to pay wages.

Four to five million people, working for two years, will have another 100 million yuan in less than this wage.

Within five years, the country's finances are already in difficulty, so where can we squeeze out these 200 million finances?

Earlier, Song Yang could not produce this astronomical figure, and there was a second plan, which was to break the dike and divert the Yellow River!"

Four words suddenly popped up in Luo Yongsheng's mind.

The battle to return to the river!

In history, due to the increasingly severe problem of the Yellow River flood, the Northern Song Dynasty court was unable to dredge the river channel and excavate tributaries, so it decided to forcibly divert the Yellow River to return to the former Yellow River route before the pre-Qin period, which was called "Return to the River".

However, the opposition tried hard to dissuade him, saying that once the dam is broken and the way is changed, the water of the Yellow River will inevitably fall into the sky like the Milky Way. How can human power be properly controlled? If there is a mistake, the people in the world will suffer.

The two factions formed a group, so this period is called the Battle of Huihe in history.

The battle for the return river finally won the change of course, but the destruction it brought was also very terrifying.

‘The river cannot accommodate it, so the next night, the drowning soldiers and the drifting artemisia are unsuccessful. Tens of millions of people died in the water’

Since the diverting of the route, the Yellow River floods have not only not improved, but have become more and more crazy. In just 50 years, there have been four large-scale breaches, and countless small and medium-sized breaches have been broken.

The deaths caused by the Yellow River floods are as large as tens of millions!

It is also because of this Yellow River that the world has reversed ten times in one year.

In the records of "History of the Song Dynasty" and "Such Zizhi Tongjian", countless hungry people rebelled on both sides of the Yellow River every year, and countless uprising people rebelled.

And this bitter fruit was planted by the Zhao Song court itself.

Thinking of this, Luo Yongsheng couldn't sit still and spoke directly.

"It is not feasible to change the route. Once the Yellow River breaks its dam, the water will be as strong as the Milky Way, and manpower will be difficult to bear. The Central Plains will become a country of marsh. So no matter how much money you spend, you must dredge the river channel, broaden the riverbed, and dig tributaries."

With Luo Yongsheng's words, Kou Yan felt much more at ease, but he sighed again.

"Since that's the case, the problem of governing the Yellow River will be the most difficult point in my Great Chu. Now all four issues have been raised. Please discuss with all the ministers and see how to solve it."

The auditorium suddenly became silent, including Luo Yongsheng.

The four questions raised by Kou Yu now seem to be the second and third points, but if the first point is connected, it will be difficult to deal with.

Because when it comes to the root, it needs to be solved.

Ask the central government for money!

So is the central government rich?

Luo Yongsheng had no choice but to look at Yan Yongxiao, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The latter stood up with a bitter face and bowed to Luo Yongsheng.

"Return to the king, my Great Chu earned only 19.8 million guan last year. At present, the Ministry of Revenue's treasury still relied on copying the treasury of the previous dynasty, and copied the 273 million guan, 8.4 million guan, and 900,000 guan from local wealthy families."

So poor?

Luo Yongsheng suddenly widened his eyes.

"Why are you a little older than that?"

With less than 20 million yuan in annual income, this is not even one-third of the previous dynasty.

For a moment, Luo Yongsheng even wondered whether all local officials in the world were corrupt.

Otherwise, how could this little money be made?

If the country is as poor as this bird, then what about the national goal?
