"Haha, my life is not something you can worry about for me at this time."

The handsome man smiled and said seriously:

"I don't understand water conservancy, I don't have any expertise in river engineering, but why can't I offer a solution to open channels?"

"Mencius said: Those who work hard to control people and labor hard to control people. Is this the reason? I am talking about my brain, which is much easier to use than those who understand water conservancy and river craftsmanship!"

The white-faced Confucian scholar said "Oh" and asked with a smile:

"Then how much trouble you are?"

"Hehe, it's very simple. It doesn't follow the common sense, and it goes against the rules. Since someone has offered the strategy of expanding the west of Chengguoqu, I will offer the strategy of expanding the east."

"You want to be more specific."

"The Chengguo Canal uses Mei County as its source, leads to the Wei River, flows northeast, passes through Wugong, Huaili, and Shanglinyuan into Menglong Canal. This is basically a river canal facing east, so when the county officials think of increasing irrigation and expanding military farms, they will only think of extending west to Chencang and introducing the vine water as the source."

"But if we do the opposite, Chengguo Canal will expand eastward. Guanzhong has a high terrain in the west and low terrain. When the west expansion into the Guo Canal, it also needs to increase the source of water. But if it expands into the Guo Canal in the east, it will be much simpler."

"The Chengguo Canal of the former Han Dynasty was only built from Mei County to Huaili, and then it was introduced into the Menglong Canal in Shanglinyuan. The only things that could be irrigated were Maoling and Pingling. But think about it, if you continue to expand eastward, expand the canal from northeast, gather the rivers in Weibei along the way, and finally arrive at Jingshui, how much more irrigated fertile fields can be added!"

After hearing what Junxiu said, the white-faced Confucian scholar nodded. He was not proficient in water conservancy. When Junxiu said it with scrupulousness, he did not hear any obvious flaws. He just looked at Junxiu in surprise and said:

"No wonder I said you haven't left the door these days. This strategy of opening the channel will probably take a lot of time to think about it."

"Haha, that's right. After all, my Meng family is also a big surname from Fufeng. There are also mountains and rivers and topography maps of counties at home. These days, I have planned with a few guests at home, and then I have come up with this plan to expand the eastward direction of the country's canal."

Seeing the handsome man becoming proud again, the white-faced Confucian scholar had to remind him again.

"Hehe, but I think about it, I'm still a little worried. The strategy of expanding the east side that you have taken on is not feasible. I'm afraid it's a false talk about abolishing affairs and a clean talk will ruin the country!"

But the handsome man was not grateful for this, and his smile became stiff.

"Xunzi said: Thousands of changes are the same. Zhuangzi said: If you do not separate from the sect, it is called heaven and man. After all, it is the same principle. You say that this strategy of expanding the country canal eastward may not be feasible, so there is still a feasible possibility, right?"

Speaking of this, the handsome man lowered his voice and said carefully:

"Besides, this strategy of opening the channel is just a rank that we have entered. Whether or not we can use it will naturally be decided by General Cavalry and his masters. But we can stand out and become atop many talents. What's wrong with this!"

Seeing the handsome man's face, the white-faced Confucian scholar pursed his lips helplessly and sighed.

"If you want to become an official, with your Meng family and your Meng Zijing's talent, you may not be able to establish counties and counties. Why do you need to disturb the strategy of expanding the eastward of the National Canal? This is related to the lives of tens of thousands of river workers and civil servants, and the cost of billions of national affairs!"

The handsome man snorted and answered in a deep voice:

"Of course I know this. But you still don't know. Do you know how much the Yan Piqi attaches to Guanzhong's water conservancy?"

“How much attention is it taken?”

"After the war last year, the Yan Piqi did not return to Hedong, but stayed in Guanzhong. What is the purpose of preventing and treating epidemics and pacifying people's hearts? The top priority is to inspect and restore the water conservancy projects in Guanzhong, the former Han Dynasty."

"Among the three auxiliary servants, Zuo Fengyi suffered the least damage in the war. Therefore, the prefect of Fengyi County was Wei Boyu from Hedong. Yan Piaoqi used Wei Boyu to ask him to preside over the repair and clear the Zhengguo Canal and Baiqu Canal in Fengyi County."

"In the winter last year alone, 20,000 to 30,000 people were used. Even the soldiers under the command of General Cavalry had to unload their armor and dig the soil to clean up the dredging. It is said that even General Cavalry was walking barefoot on the riverbed carrying river mud. Tell me, how much does this General Cavalry attach to the water conservancy in Guanzhong!"

After hearing this, the white-faced Confucian scholar thought, nodded without saying anything.

The handsome man didn't plan to stop talking at this time. He stared at him and continued:

"Let me talk about these famous families and powerful families of the Three Auxiliary families, and those with some talent but unwilling to be surrendered, who are not trying to curry favor with this cavalry general. In order to raise grain for the Hedong army, Zhang Ji not only emptied his own granary, but also took the officials and soldiers from Hedong to the various powerful docks and manors from house to house to move grain. What are you saying?"

"Let me talk about Su Ze, who is in the same county as you and me, who visited the General of Cavalry, offered grain and horses, and also gave advice on the troops stationed in Fufeng County, what are you talking about?"

"There are other powerful men in the countryside, and there are grains in the manor. They either transport corn or cloth to enrich military supplies, or release slaves, send children, and guests to act as river workers. Tell me, what is this for?"

"In addition, there are Yan Gan, Li Yi, and others from Zuo Fengyi. They ate a pot of slurry when the Hedong army entered Fengyi early to welcome the king's army. Then they either climbed up to the new Jingzhao prefect Yan Su or were supposed to be appointed to the General's Mansion of the Cavalry. What was the purpose of?"

Faced with the series of inquiries from the handsome man, the white-faced Confucian scholar's mouth curled up slightly without saying a word.

The handsome man didn't seem to have planned to let him speak, and said to the white-faced Confucian scholar with an elder's tone:

"After all, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. These powerful surnames donate relatives and export grain and silk. These three auxiliary talents offer paintings and open a palace to climb the scales of dragons and attach phoenixes to achieve their aspirations!"

Speaking of this, the handsome man added another sentence at the end.

"So, in order to attract the attention and personal reception of General Cavalry, I must meet his preferences, and must come up with strategies to expand the eastward trend of the country, so that I can stand out among these three auxiliary talents, show my ambitions, and fulfill my ambitions. Do you understand?"

The white-faced Confucian scholar shook his head and did not comment. After a while, he slowly said:

"Since you have taken this human relationship so clearly, why bother to bring me a lazy scholar like me?"

The handsome man smiled and changed his kind smile and said:

"Why should filial piety belittle yourself? Others don't know your talents? Don't I know your talents yet? You and I are old friends, and each has their own strengths. If I can be valued by General Cavalry, I will naturally recommend you to General Cavalry, the wise master, so that your talents can be fully utilized in this chaotic world."

"But if I am unfortunately making a mistake in making a mistake and anger General or his important officials, then you will come out to save me!"

The white-faced Confucian scholar rolled his eyes and said with a grin:

"You are so careful, and you are still worried about making mistakes and offending noble people? Even if you really offend noble people, I am afraid that I, a little scholar, can save you!"

"I can save it, I can save it."

Speaking of this, the handsome man laughed again, covering up his inner uneasiness, and his eyes flashed:

"Since my strategy of expanding the eastwards of the Knights, since I can stand out and let the General of the Cavalry personally meet, there is no big problem. But it is difficult to guarantee that the expansion of the Knights of the Knights will offend some important officials around the General of the Knights who advocate expansion in the west. If there is a slight mistake in words, I am afraid that there will be a disaster for the death, so I have to keep a backup plan, and you are the backup plan for me!"

"How to say it?"

"Xiaozhi, you are a good military guide and military strategy. You are familiar with Zhang and Chen's skills. I see that General Cavalry is a heroic and ambitious person. Although he has obtained the Three Guards, he wants more than these. Since he is also in charge of Yongliang, he will definitely use troops to Yongliang and seize the land of Longyou. People are not in trouble, and if you get Long, you will look forward to Shu. Haven't we been in Shu for a while? You have specially drawn a map of your entry into Shu."

"If my strategy of expanding the eastward of Chengguo Canal today doesn't work, you will just present a mountain and river topographic map to General Cavalry. If you can attach a good strategy to attack Yongliang and Bashu, it would be even better!"

"No, no, Zijing, you are not only buying me, but killing me. I have just been stranded in Hanzhong for some days. I have never entered this Shu area and have not walked all the way to enter Shu. I just want to show off in front of the generals of war. I want to live a few more years, but I don't want to risk the beheading and go to this muddy water with you. This matter is not discussed, no talk!"

Seeing the white-faced Confucian scholar who was about to escape again, the handsome man quickly grabbed his wide sleeve and said with a wry smile:

"Hey, how should I say that, your Legal family is also a family of officials from generation to generation. How can you endure your generation and decline after your generation?"

"Li Si, who entered Qin, also said that there is no greater criticism than humility, and no greater sorrow than poverty. Having a lowly position and a difficult place for a long time, it is not the world that hates profits, and entrusting itself to inaction. This is not the affection of a scholar."

"You must go this trip. Even if you don't give any advice, I'll secretly observe whether this cavalry general is the wise ruler of the world. Didn't you tell me when you left your hometown? You should look for a wise ruler in this troubled world and assist you--"

"Okay, okay, stop, stop!" Seeing that the man from Junxiu used this move again, the white-faced Confucian scholar looked helpless and looked at the man from Junxiu and laughed:

"You said that you, Mencius Jing, have calculated everything clearly and are still thinking about pulling me into the water. You are not afraid that I will meet the General of the Cavalry, talk freely, suppress your limelight, and make your official career clear-headed. "

After being said by the white-faced Confucian scholar, the handsome man's face turned cold and his uneasiness increased a little. But this was also a matter of a moment. Soon the handsome man abandoned his inner hesitation and smiled and said to the white-faced Confucian scholar:

"I see that you are filial and honest, just like Fan Ju who entered Qin. He will be rewarded for his virtue and revenge for his grudges. Even if he is really a good official, he will never forget me, my old friend for many years."

"Hahaha!" Seeing the handsome man's expression changing rapidly and saying these words in a complicated way, the white-faced Confucian scholar couldn't help but raise his head and laugh. After laughing, he nodded and smiled:

"A meal will be rewarded, and a grudge will be rewarded. There is nothing better than happiness in life. Since Fan Ju was mistaken by his friend, then I will be filial and upright, and today I will be misled by your Mencius Jing. But——"

Speaking of this, the white-faced Confucian scholar turned into a voice, which made the handsome man widen his eyes again, fearing that he would repent temporarily.

"Haha, but I, Fa Xiaozhi, will not let others sell myself. Even if I want to sell it, I will sell myself in exchange for his noble life. Hahaha, Qingnu, let's go!"

After saying that, the white-faced scholar called the donkey behind him to follow him slowly, sweating prostitutes, and rushed forward with a quick horse.

"Filial piety, filial piety!" The handsome man saw the white-faced Confucian scholar agreeing and rode his horse freely. While rushing to catch up, he quickly shouted:

"You ran the wrong way!"
