Since the Wei River has always been a difficult transport route, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already opened and closed the Central Cao Canal to make up for the shortage of water transportation on the Wei River.
After the Sui Dynasty unified northern China, the old canals of the Han Dynasty had been blocked for a long time and could not be used, so they had to still use the Wei River for canal transportation.
However, the Wei River is sandy and the flow is shallow and deep, making it difficult for those who water it. As a last resort, the Wei River was diverted from the east of Chang'an to Tongguan for more than 300 miles, and it was named Guangtong Canal.
Although a canal has been built, unfortunately, the mainstay of Sanmenxia on the Yellow River still hinders shipping in the Kanto region.
And the problem continued until this dynasty and there was no way to solve it. Water transportation into Guanzhong was still a big headache.
After hearing Li Ke's explanation, Cheng Chubi's face gradually became serious. Although Cheng Chubi did not study history, he still knew it.
Since the Tang Dynasty, there seems to have been no unified dynasty with its capital in Chang'an.
The reason seems to be due to over-development from ancient times to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
As a result, the fertile land of the Guanzhong Plain has begun to decline. Coupled with the difficult transportation, it cannot support a large population focus.
Thinking of this, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but hit his teeth and mouth with pain.
"Then based on this, your father will have to make frequent trips to Dongdu to have a good meal."
Withdrawing his resentful gaze, Li Ke could only nod in agreement.
"I'm afraid it's very possible. After all, the population in Guanzhong has increased dramatically in recent years, which has become a big headache for my father and the Prime Minister."
"I remember my father once said that in the early days of martial arts, one only needs to enter Guanzhong 200,000 stones to make Guanzhong full of food."
"Now, haha..."
Li Ke could only laugh, because he didn't know how many thousands of stones of food were needed now, so he could only maintain the mystery with an enigmatic smile.
Cheng Chubi smacked his mouth and rolled his eyes. "In that case, if you don't just move the capital to Luoyang, why do you have to stay in Chang'an?"
Hearing this, Li Kedun became anxious and reminded Cheng with an anxious face that this proposal was very important.
"Brother Chu Bi, you have to think carefully. The foundation of the Tang Dynasty lies in the land of Guanzhong."
"The imperial troops of the Tang Dynasty were one-third as strong as the Guan Nei Dao alone. Setting the capital in Chang'an would be advantageous for the imperial troops to defend the capital."
After hearing what Li Ke said, Cheng Chubi was not happy. "If we leave Chang'an, won't Luoyang be able to defend it?"
"Now that I have said it, the number of elites in Fanshang remains at tens of thousands all year round. Just eating food is a big problem."
"In this case, why not just eat in Luoyang and live in Luoyang?"
Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi with a dumbfounded expression. He always felt that this was not the case, but now his mind was a little confused and he didn't know how to refute.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and an alluring fragrance suddenly hit his nostrils.
Li Ke and Cheng Chubi immediately put the topic behind them and took a deep breath at the same time.
This is the special aroma that the delicious mushroom stew has.
"Hey, dear, why do I feel that the smell of this fungus is different from the one here in Luzhou?"
"Haha, that's natural. There are many fungi that can only be found in Yaozhou. Come on, come on, bring it up quickly. By the way, dear brother, where's the wine?"
"Li De, hurry up and bring the Yun Ban Xian Zui from the back of the underground kiln. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Brother, you have made great contributions to the country. We should have a drink to celebrate."

Aged wine, plus delicious fungi and preserved meat, not only the fungi are smooth and crispy, but also there are more preserved meats, making it more delicious and not greasy.
Especially the stewed soup, once you take a sip, it is like a god.
Cheng Chubi and Li Ke were bragging and spanking while eating.
Li De and others did not have the opportunity to rush to Yaozhou to make great achievements and enjoy good food and drink. The guards of Prince Wu's mansion feasted outside the house with the guards of the old Cheng family.
The delicious flavor makes one or two mouth-watering mouthfuls full of praise.
Eating meat and mushrooms, drinking delicious soup, and sipping high-end wine, Cheng Chubi was very happy.
But what is a bit regretful is that we are missing a good brother with whom we can drink, eat meat and play cards together.
"By the way, Brother Xian, I have already returned from Yaozhou. Why hasn't Brother Jun returned to Luzhou? Is it possible that the war in Yazhou is not over yet?"
Li Ke nodded and explained.
"The war in Yazhou is over, but several forts destroyed by the Tibetan army still need to be repaired."
"If the Tibetan army leaves and comes back at this time, it will suffer a big loss."
"However, little brother, I received a letter from Brother Jun some time ago, saying that I still trained the army with your training code.
Although their combat power is slightly inferior to that of our elite soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, it is still extremely rare. After all, they can only form an army within a few months."
Having said this, Li Ke raised his glass to Cheng Chubi. Li Ke could only describe him as sincerely convinced towards Brother Chubi.
At that time, Cheng Chubi recruited those soldiers to join the Luzhou Governor's Mansion, more like to appease the Luzhou people.
After all, Xuezhou's rebellion really made everyone uneasy. Fortunately, Brother Chu Bi used thunderbolts to seize the beasts.
Later, the Xuezhou Lie Shou Lu was able to lead the elite Xuezhou Lie army to surrender, which was not only a pledge of honor, but also a statement of attitude to the governor-general.
But then Brother Chu Bi actually built a new army camp outside Luzhou City and recruited soldiers from various states to join the army.
After that, the drill code was tinkered with, and then there was the scene where Li Ji, the old driver, rushed to the New Army camp to stay guard.

Meng Shezhao advocated Le Jin and asked to get off the boat and look up at the Luzhou City a few miles away.
I finally came to the familiar Luzhou City again, but this time, I didn't come anxiously to ask for help.
Instead, I was anxious to send my daughter off. Well... I can't call it sending my daughter off, but I should bring my daughter over to meet someone.
After all, His Highness King Wu, who has not yet become his son-in-law, did not speak very clearly.
It probably means that his biological father arranged for his teacher to come over just because he wanted to see his beloved daughter.
After hearing the news, Zhang Lejinqiu naturally did not dare to neglect and personally led a team to escort his beloved daughter all the way north.
I finally arrived in Luzhou, but I don’t know if the teacher of His Highness King Wu is an overly strict person.
Otherwise, given the very different nature of my daughter from the Han women, I am afraid...
Thinking of this, the sad-looking Zhang Lejinqiu turned his head and saw his beloved daughter standing pretty behind him.
A pair of bright black and white eyes were looking into the distance expectantly.
Soon, I saw my beloved daughter Jialan's eyes suddenly lit up, she raised her arms high and waved towards the distance...
When Zhang Lejinqiu raised his eyes, he saw the familiar restaurant and His Highness the King of Wu standing there on the second floor, who was even more beautiful than his beloved daughter.
