Chapter 234

"What an atrocity... Human life is not a number. How can we convert numbers so simply?" the scholar said incoherently.

Although it is not very impressive, this statement itself still has a market in the state of song.

The monarchs and ministers on the third floor did not show any sarcastic look. There are similar reasons why it is difficult for them to make a decision.

There were many brilliant people in the Song Dynasty, and the monarch was not good at making decisions, so the matter of flood control has been delayed. At this time, let Gongye taizai release the wind. I don't want to see how the people discuss this matter.

Gongye taizai looked gloomy. Obviously, he didn't know how to answer. The scholar retorted powerlessly. The second floor of Gongye Siming saw his most respected grandfather questioned, but he couldn't say anything... He felt that he was too rash for the first time.

Su Li smiled calmly and said, "human life is really not a number. If possible, it is better to work together to tide over the difficulties."

"But we can't always look forward to the best without preparing for the worst."

"Now the situation is that once the rainy season comes, 80% of the mother river of the state of song may burst. At that time, not only the farmland along the river, but also the big hill may be flooded... You should make plans early."

Su Li's words were not alarmist, but tore open a corner where people didn't want to think more.

He seemed gentle, but with a very cold attitude, he showed everything to these naive readers, and then said:

"The mother river will be flooded, and if we continue to maintain the status quo, it is likely that a major breach will occur when the flood is most serious. At that time, the whole country will be flooded, and Daqiu will also be affected, let alone your hometown."

"After that, because the whole country was affected by the disaster in that year, the state of song lost thousands of hectares of good farmland. The rich still have surplus grain, but how can these millions of people give relief?"

"When famine is everywhere and ruoer and others are the center, have you ever thought about how to settle the victims and deal with the possible rebellion?"

"Food is the most important thing for the people, and if the people have no food, they are against it."

"How can you save yourself when you wait for the state of song with relaxed military equipment?"

A series of questions seemed to have penetrated the present and saw the future. They not only made the scholars present speechless, but also made the kings and ministers of the state of song sweat.

This kind of future may be alarmist, but there are no fools here. The phrase "food is the most important thing for the people" is really brilliant.

Even if the people of the state of song bite their teeth after the disaster, and continue to suffer the disaster next time and next time, sooner or later they will not be able to stand up!

Not because the government of the Song Dynasty was corrupt, but because they had to rob the rich and noble food, otherwise they would not survive.

The scholars present could not say a word. If they really wanted to take them to that important position and make far-reaching decisions, they only felt the pressure, and their thinking began to knot.

In his embarrassment, the scholar could only ask in a desperate struggle: "so, according to your meaning, are you in favor of digging dams by yourself and exchanging the lives of a few people for the lives of most people?"

Su Li just smiled and didn't respond, but continued to write on his paintings

At a sharp turning point in the river, he suddenly drew a gap.

Then the vast water potential impacted down, forming a land of Ze in a low-lying place in the north of the river.

Then Su Licai said in a gentle voice, "when digging the dike in advance to discharge the flood has become an inevitable choice, the next thing to be discussed is the location of digging the dike. How to minimize the loss and even how to benefit both the country and the people."

"Most of the tributaries of the mother river in the Song Dynasty are on the south bank, so there are many good fields on the south bank and barren on the north bank."

"Most of the north bank is short of water for irrigation, and there are often severe droughts in addition to severe floods. It can be said that there are mostly poor fields cultivated by poor farmers."

"To discharge the flood here can minimize the loss in the state of song."

"As for your concerns, they can also be solved. Send soldiers to relocate farmers in advance and give sufficient compensation. The place is sparsely populated and the workload will not be too large."

At this point, the ministers of the state of song looked at each other and felt the gap between themselves and Su Li.

They are still hesitating whether to release the flood ahead of time, but Su Li has thought about what to do after the flood discharge... The problem that was heavy and difficult to decide in their hearts has become a trivial matter worth mentioning here.

On the one hand, the monarchs and officials of the state of song were used to ease and rarely made such important decisions. On the other hand, it was Su Li's eternal wisdom.

But before this was over, Su Li continued, "when I visited here earlier, I found that this is a low-lying area of more than one million hectares. Maybe I can give up these bad fields and simply take the flood as an opportunity to turn it into a new land of water."

"There are few water veins on the North Bank of the mother river. With this daze, most of the bad fields on the north bank can become good fields within three years."

"With this daze, it can store water in case of flood, supplemented by the method of beam water scouring and silting. Many dare not say that there can be no worry about drought and flood in the song state within a hundred years."

There was a moment of silence. This time, people were not worried about the mother river. They were simply shocked by Su Li's talent.

Because what people ask and think about is this year's flood, which is now. But with the help of this year's flood, Su Li made a long-term plan!

People finally have a clear understanding of what it is to prosper the country with one word.

If the mother river is really no longer flooded in this century, then the people of the state of song should prosper, not just three generations?

At this moment, the scholar who came to trouble Su Li was speechless and ashamed... Su Li's rude behavior in their eyes has now become the pride of a great talent. Many scholars look forward to Su Li

On the second floor, Gong yesiming's eyes are about to "show stars". He lives high above and looks at Su Li's painting. His feeling is even more profound. It seems that he is fascinated by the feeling of wanton use of heaven and earth as a chessboard.

Then on the third floor, Gongye taizai suddenly said respectfully, "Sir is an unparalleled national scholar. The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty are willing to invite Sir to join the court with the highest ceremony. Any official position under the king can be selected by Sir!"

What an urgent solicitation? It's desperate.

But it's understandable. After all, Su Li just set the tone for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty in a short moment.

Just will Su Li promise?

Obviously impossible.

He just shook his head and bowed to it, then took his pet and servant and turned away from the restaurant.

This product has already been tasted. Next, he is going to participate in the so-called righteous Alliance... If he wants to fight visually, he must think about the posture of the sword sect and be worthy of their thousands of instructions before going out.

……

There was a silence in the building. No one could be happy when such a great talent left.

However, the picture of the mother river drawn by Su Li suddenly became a treasure in the hearts of the people... Because the painting skills of this picture, let alone, really showed Su Li's whole river control strategy!

After Su Li left, it naturally fell into the hands of the unseen monarch of the state of song. Then the emperor ordered people to frame it carefully and hang it in their study... People in the state of song seem to want to use this picture as a treasure handed down from generation to generation.
