Chapter 5: South-to-North Water Diversion, Li Shimin's shock!

You said that the eighth prince should drink water, but he just like a buffalo, drinking a lot of it, making a loud noise.

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly frowned, looked at Wei Zheng, and said, "Duke Zheng, what do you think of the advice I gave to Duke Zhao just now?"

"Ah? This, this... Emperor, I..."

Wei Zheng was stunned.

Because he had been talking to Li Chengfeng just now, he had not finished listening to the conversation between Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was angry in an instant, slapped the dragon throne with his big hand and shouted: "Duke Zheng, is it a joke to go to court? He is talking about major events in the world with Duke Zhao, but you are wandering around? Duke Zheng? Do you know your guilt?"

Li Shimin was angry? Wei Zheng was shocked in an instant and hurriedly crawled to the ground and said, "Prince forgives me! Yes, it is the Eighth Prince, who has been in the old minister's ears and makes some strange sounds, which makes the old minister unable to hear the emperor's holy words clearly!"

"Feng'er..."

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng opened his eyes wide and said, "Wei Zheng lied to others. I have never talked to him. It was him who kept arguing with me. If you don't believe me, Eunuch Wu can testify!"

"Yes, the eighth prince of my family has never disturbed anyone. However, Duke Zheng has been talking to the eighth prince!"

As Li Chengfeng's servant, Eunuch Wu must be standing next to Li Chengfeng.

Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng coldly.

Deceiving the king is the crime of beheading!

What's more, Wei Zheng also slandered that it was the eighth prince who quarreled him. Isn't this equivalent to slapping Li Shimin in the face?

Li Shimin said: "Wei Zheng, you must give me an explanation today!"

Wei Zheng knelt down on the ground, and said in fear, "Your Majesty, the old minister knows the crime, the old minister knows the crime!"

"Hmph, the prime minister of the dynasty did not listen to national affairs and wandered out of heaven? Come on, drag Wei Zheng out and beat him up!"

"Yes, the emperor!"

So, Wei Zheng was ordered by Li Shimin to drag him out to spank.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were sweating in cold sweat.

They knew that although Li Chengfeng was young, he was only six years old.

But this cute little kid has many ideas.

The two thought to themselves that no matter who they offend in the future, they should not offend the Eighth Prince.

Otherwise, if it is serious, it would be like being hit by a board. Maybe the black hats on their heads will fall off!

If it is serious, you may even lose your head.

Of course, Li Shimin knew that Wei Zheng must have been distracted by Li Chengfeng's quarrel.

But the majesty of the royal family cannot be removed.

To teach Li Chengfeng a lesson, it is also to teach him a lesson himself, not Wei Zheng said!

So Li Shimin looked at Li Chengfeng with a smile and said, "Eighth Prince, then what do you think about the opinions I gave to Duke Zhao just now?"

Li Shimin originally thought that Li Chengfeng would never be able to answer.

Regardless of whether he listened or not, even if he listened, what else could he say, a six-year-old child besides applauding his hands and applauding?

However, Li Chengfeng shook his little head and said, "No, I don't think so!"

"no?"

"What? Eighth Prince, please don't come out and make trouble, okay?"

"Yes, the Eighth Prince, do you know what national affairs are? You don't understand, don't participate in the work, don't anger the emperor!"

Li Chengfeng actually dared to say no in front of Li Shimin?

Could it be that the father and son are about to start slapping each other in the face again?

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were both begging Li Chengfeng to tell him not to say anything.

However, Li Chengfeng said: "Father, although your method can solve temporary natural disasters, it cannot be implemented for a long time! It can be said that it can be treated with symptoms but not the root cause!"

"Oh? Then I want to listen to the emperor, how to use a solution to the root cause?"

Li Shimin was a little shocked.

Seeing that Li Chengfeng was confidently telling his shortcomings, Li Shimin was not angry.

Since Li Chengfeng said that his method is to treat the symptoms, what is the root cause?

Li Chengfeng said: "Father! Duke Zhao said before that this year, there was a severe drought, and the people were short of water, and the grain harvest was sharply reduced, and the people were living in poverty!"

"And the method given by the father is to open the treasury, release the granary, and relieve the people to survive the drought year!"

"Yes, do you think there is something wrong with this method?"

Li Shimin touched his beard and looked at Li Chengfeng with interest.

Over the years, droughts, floods, locust plagues, and people’s food shortages have been relied on the treasury to open warehouses and release grain to solve the problem?

Could it be that Feng'er has a better way?

Li Chengfeng cleared his throat and continued: "Father, my son believes that it is not wrong to open the national treasury to help the people in every natural disaster, but sooner or later, this will consume the granary stock of the national treasury!"

"Yes, but how can I bear to help the people of the world if I don't open the granary and help the people?"

"Then the question is here!"

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Father, within the borders of our Tang Dynasty, the southern waters are abundant in the north. The north is full of droughts all year round! In the hot summer, the north will inevitably suffer from droughts, and in the rainy season, the south will inevitably suffer from floods..."

"Why not..."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin immediately glared at the sight. Could it be that Feng'er really did it?

Li Chengfeng continued to speak and said, "Why not, my father is building a giant water storage in the south! During the rainy season, the water storage will be stored so that the people in the south can avoid flooding! My father is building a grand canal that is leaping and transparent between the north and the south. Whenever there is drought, open the gates and release water, and transport the water in the southern reservoir to the north! In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

"Boom boom boom..."

After hearing what Li Chengfeng said, Li Shimin's mind felt like it exploded and suddenly became clear.

All the civil and military officials in the court were surprised and looked at Li Chengfeng with incredible eyes.

This idea seems simple, but no emperor or minister of all dynasties could come up with such an idea!

Now, he said it from a cute six-year-old child. Can this not surprise Li Shimin and others?

And this idea is really too advanced.

Li Shimin never dared to imagine that Li Chengfeng dared to use manpower to fight against God's will with his own words?

Could this be the legendary man conquers nature?

And this idea is good and feasible!

As long as the reservoir and the Grand Canal are completed, will the difficulties that have plagued the people's natural disasters that have plagued emperors of all generations be solved?

"Father, what do you think of the son minister?"

"Hahaha, OK, Feng'er, you have really helped the country!"

Li Shimin laughed excitedly and his hands were trembling.

Li Chengfeng rubbed his nose mischievously.

That's of course. In the 21st century, the advanced idea of ​​the South-to-North Water Diversion, the people who can think of it are all geniuses among geniuses!

After Li Shimin was happy, he pursed his lips again.

I have to say that this time Li Chengfeng has really helped the country a lot.

Li Shimin also admitted that Li Chengfeng is really a genius of national destiny.

If Li Chengfeng was allowed to govern the country, the Tang Dynasty in the future would definitely be more prosperous!
Chapter completed!
