It has been five days since we returned to Taichu City. Compared with before we left, the roads inside and outside the city are smoother, and the silt accumulated after the flood has been completely cleared away.
The city was completely new, and the people were busy in full swing. Emperor Chu had just entered the city when Kou Zhun, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou came towards him.
After saluting, the three men followed the Emperor of Chu on both sides and began to inform the Emperor of Chu about the city's repairs, resettlement of the people, and land re-planning.
Starting yesterday, the refugees who went to Aurora City began to return one after another. Kou Zhun, Zhang Liang, and Zhuge Liang proposed a method. Every citizen can receive a resettlement fee from the government office in the city.
After that, the people were allowed to leave the city, return to their villages, and start post-disaster construction of the villages.
Emperor Chu gained a lot from his trip to Muke Village. Longyan was delighted. Hearing Kou Zhun's report, he chuckled and said: "The ministers have done a good job in rebuilding Taichu City. They entered the palace with me. After detailed reports, I
We will send people to Chang'an to notify the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry and ask them to send people to assist Kou Aiqing in completing the reconstruction work."
"At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, we must provide a place for every citizen before the severe winter arrives. The pressure on the ministers is not small."
Hear the sound.
Kou Zhun, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou followed closely behind Emperor Chu and galloped toward the palace. Outside the palace, Emperor Chu ordered Na Ya'a to go and tell Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, Bai Qi, Di Xin, Li Jing, Wei Qing, and Xue Rengui.
Xiang Yu and eight others entered the palace.
Along the way back from Muke Village, the Emperor of Chu made detailed arrangements for the government affairs before winter, and summoned all the ministers to discuss the affairs of Taichu City.
In addition to the battle in Duoluo City, Emperor Chu felt that it was time to end the confrontation with the Hill Empire. Li Cunxiao entered the hinterland of the Hill Empire alone. Now the two armies are facing each other and are in a stalemate under Tuoluo City.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, appeared at the gate of Tuoluo City with their armies. Otherwise, the Flying Tiger Army under Li Cunxiao would be defeated.
The Devouring Sky was destroyed and Guangming retreated. All the Chu army gathered in the four cities of Taichu, War King, Aurora, and Dragon and Phoenix. Emperor Chu decided to order Bai Qi, Di Xin, Li Jing, Wei Qing, Xue Rengui, and Xiang Yu to divide their troops into three groups.
OK, go to Hill, Divine Beast, and Yunhuan Three Kingdoms respectively, and strive to end the war completely before the New Year.
About half an hour later, everyone appeared in the Dezheng Hall. After taking their seats one after another, Emperor Chu was the first to ask:
"Kong Ming, Zifang, can you two calculate the amount of money and food needed for the dam, port, and post-disaster reconstruction?"
"Your Majesty, the approximate amount of money and food required has been calculated. Based on the current silver and food reserves in various treasuries, we can barely meet half of the requirements."
"Weichen believes that the money can be allocated uniformly from the national treasury. As for the food, it can last until the first half of next year. As long as Lord Kou fully mobilizes the people to cultivate and plant, there will be a harvest season next year, and the food problem will not be a problem at all."
After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Emperor Chu looked sideways at Kou Zhun, as if asking for his opinion. He saw Kou Zhun gently nodding his head and giving a salute with his fist.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have discussed this matter with Master Zhuge and Master Zhang. As Master Zhang said, the treasury has insufficient money. As for the food, it can completely satisfy itself. As long as the method is right, the food can be replaced next year."
"According to Zifang's words, the money will be transferred from the treasury and the food matter will be handed over to Kou Aiqing. After I return to Beijing, I will order the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Academy of Sciences to send the money. In addition, I will introduce the latest food from the empire and give it to the people of Taixu for planting."
"I hope to arrive in Taichu next time. Earth-shaking changes have taken place here. Ports and dams must be put on the agenda and construction begins as soon as possible."
"Kou Aiqing has a long way to go and must not live up to my high expectations!"
"I must fulfill my duties, live up to the divine grace, and do a good job in the construction and management of Taixu County."
Kou Zhun's expression was as firm as iron, and his sonorous voice sounded. Emperor Chu trusted him deeply. Now he was full of energy, and his blood boiled every day.
"Kong Ming, you two, Zifang, go down and discuss the details with Kou Aiqing. You will be apprenticed and return to the court in the near future."
The three people were ordered to leave. Emperor Chu's eyes stayed on Bai Qi's generals and said: "Bai Qi, I received a battle report from Cun Xiao. The Flying Tiger Army has invaded the Hill Empire's mansion and is currently facing off with the enemy.
Under Tuoluo City."
"I order you and Li Jing to lead your troops and set off for the Hill Empire immediately."
"Di Xin and Wei Qing listened to the order and ordered you and the others to lead the troops to the Yunhuan Empire. In the past, they turned against me and caused my Chu army to lose its troops. I will make them pay the due price for this."
"Xue Rengui and Xiang Yu listen to the order, and you two lead the troops to the Divine Beast Empire. If the kings of the Three Kingdoms do not choose to surrender to Chu and do not take responsibility for their actions, the army will never withdraw."
"There are still three months before the New Year's Eve. During the New Year's Day, I am waiting for the return of all the generals in Chang'an City. When the time comes, the whole world will celebrate. I am also waiting to have a drink with you and have a good time. I will not return until I am drunk."
The Emperor of Chu was high-spirited and majestic, and his domineering voice echoed in the Hall of Dezheng. Upon hearing the sound, all the generals rose up, raised their fists and saluted, the sound was like a bell, and they all said in unison:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will lead his troops to set off immediately and strive to end the war before the end of the year!"
The six generals Bai Qi, Xue Rengui, Wei Qing, Di Xin, Xiang Yu, and Li Jing got up and left in a hurry, returning to the military camp to gather troops and horses, ready to set off for the Three Kingdoms of Hill, Yunhuan, and Divine Beasts.
............
Two days later.
The three armies set out from Taichu City and headed there under the leadership of the generals. They were flying in the wind, with the golden dragon flags flapping in the wind until they disappeared at the end of the wilderness.
In the palace, Emperor Chu knew that the three armies were leaving today. He believed that under the leadership of the six generals, he would hear good news in the shortest time. The Chu army went to the Hill Three Kingdoms to teach them how to behave.
He defected before the battle, thinking that the Chu army would be defeated, but in the end he suffered the consequences.
Sometimes, if you do something, you will have to suffer the corresponding consequences. If the Chu army has not arrived at Hill, Yun Huan, the mythical beast, and the kings of the Three Kingdoms will be even more complacent.
Because of the trip to Muke Village, Emperor Chu met the powerful men of the Hill Empire. They dared to come to fight for the Longzhong treasure, which showed that they put Chu in their eyes.
He had never paid attention to Emperor Chu of the Three Kingdoms. At this moment, he had been waiting for Li Bing's arrival. Half a month had passed and he believed that Li Bing would arrive at Taichu City today.
In his free time these days, Emperor Chu conducted a detailed study of Li Bing's information. Historically, Li Bing was a famous water conservancy engineering expert in the Qin State during the Warring States Period.
In BC, he was the prefect of Shu County. During this period, Li Bing controlled the water and created extraordinary achievements. Few people may know about him, but many people should know about the Dujiangyan Irrigation System built by him.
The Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, which he and his son built together, is the most famous. The guiding ideology of the construction of the weir is the Taoist idea of "Tao follows nature" and "harmony between man and nature". For thousands of years, this project has served as the basis for the Chengdu Plain.
Lay a solid foundation for becoming a land of abundance.
Taichu City currently needs his arrival so much. With his arrival, the Tianhe dam construction project can be fully handed over to him, and Emperor Chu can return to Chang'an City without any worries. (To be continued)
