"From ancient times to the present, there have been countless rivers flowing from east to west, but there are very few that run through the north and the south! I have decided to dig a grand canal between Luoyang and Yangzhou, so that the subjects of the north and south can communicate with each other and come and go at any time, and I can also travel at any time to observe the people's feelings!"

On the morning of the second day after Yuwen Chengdu returned to Chang'an, Yang Guang said this.

"Your Majesty, Luoyang and Yangzhou, one in the north and one in the south, are thousands of mountains and rivers apart, not to mention when they will be dug up, just say that the silver taels in the palace alone may not be able to support such a huge project!" The ministers below discussed for a while, and Xu Lian, the head of the household, got out of the train, bowed to Yang Guang, and analyzed carefully.

Quiet...

It's quiet...

The ministers didn't speak, Yang Guang didn't speak, he seemed to be waiting for something...

"A bunch of nonsense!" Yang Guang's waiting person, Yu Wenhua, stood up, pointed at Xu Lian, and said in a convincing manner: "The excavation of the canal is a prosperous business in the north and south, and a major event for the benefit of thousands of generations.

"Who wants to play?" Listening to Yu Wenhua's words, Yang Guang nodded slightly, and then asked lightly.

Although it is an inquiry, the meaning of it is that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know it!

Except for Yuwen and his son, everyone bowed their heads and bowed: "My Emperor Shengming!"

"The minister should die, my emperor Shengming!" With the lessons of Wu Jianzhang and Tang Quanzhong, Xu Lian didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only bow down and confess together!

"Huh?" Yang Guang looked very surprised, looked left and right under the court, and then said: "That's right! Then I have to appoint someone to supervise the construction of the canal, who is up to this heavy task?"

"The last general will protect General Ma Shumou and take on this great responsibility!" Yuwen Chengdu saw Yu Wenhua and gave him a look, so he stepped forward and said to Yang Guang.

He felt that it didn't matter who supervised the canal, it wasn't his own anyway, after all, the errand of digging the canal would be scolded by the world at this time.

However, he remembered that the canal in the original book seemed to be built by this Uncle Ma, so he simply followed the history, or let him supervise it, Yuwen Chengdu thought so, because he had what he just said!

"Uncle Ma!" Yang Guang listened to Yuwen Chengdu's words, and immediately called Uncle Ma's name!

"The end will be!" Ma Shumou seemed to be very reluctant, and his tone was a little wrong.

This makes Yuwen Chengdu feel very strange, it stands to reason that he, a traitor who loves corruption, should like this fat poor!

But looking at this situation, why do you seem to be a little unhappy?

In fact, what Yuwen Chengdu didn't understand was that although this Uncle Ma was greedy, he also knew in his heart that he could be less greedy if he could complete the task, and if the task could not be completed, he would still be greedy!

When the time comes, I am only afraid that I will be greedy for my life, and I will not be able to spend my life!

And he, a military general, thinks that he can't do the digging of the Grand Canal, so of course he is not happy!

"Last time Nanyang Pass got rid of Wu Yunzhao's matter, I won't blame you and the King of Beiping!" Yang Guang first talked about the matter of Nanyang Pass (Yuwen Chengdu was sent by Yu Wenhua, so Wu Yunzhao didn't have much to do with him whether he ran or not, he was only a helper), and then said: "This time, I appointed you as the head of Kaihe, and I ordered you to complete it at the same time as the construction of the eastern capital Luoyang in May, and there must be no mistake!"

"Five... Five months... Emperor... Your Majesty..."Uncle Ma had no confidence in this matter, and at this time, he heard that the deadline was so short, he couldn't help but want to push this errand.

"What?, do you have a problem?" Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.

"Uh..." Ma Shumou looked at Yuwen Chengdu father and son, Yu Wenhua gave him a look, he didn't know the reason, but he still agreed: "There's nothing wrong, the last general will order!"

"The emperor is far-sighted, and he can be compared with Shang Tang Zhou Wu!" The ministers were all happy to see that this hot potato did not fall on their heads, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, kneeling and licking Yang Guangdao.

"Wait..."However, Yang Guang seemed to be a little disgusted that their licking was not in place, and frowned and said, "What did you say?"

"My emperor has made great contributions to Shang Tang Zhou Wu!" Yu Wenhua is the best at figuring out Yang Guang's thoughts, and when he saw him like this at this time, he knew what he wanted to hear, and immediately bowed down and bowed.

The rest of the ministers also followed suit, and shouted again: "My emperor has made great contributions to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

"Hmm!" Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand: "Retreat!"

。。。

Yesterday, Yuwen Chengdu accompanied Xiao Meiniang in the palace for a day because she was pregnant, and waited until the evening when Yang Guang was about to return to the palace.

After coming back, he went to find Chu Qiao, he never thought that this girl was not in the house, according to her personal maid Huan'er, she was dealing with things in the spy paper building!

Seeing that it was already late, Yuwen Chengdu didn't go to the spy paper building again, but went back to the room and slept with Bai Zhi in his arms!

Yes, after going down to the court today, Yuwen Chengdu wanted to go to the spy paper building to find Chu Qiao and talk to her, he estimated that this little girl was a little angry because he didn't go to him yesterday.

However, he never thought that as soon as he left the palace, Yuwen Chengdu was stopped by Ma Shumou, saying that he wanted to talk to him about something.

Yuwen Chengdu thought about it, agreed, and followed him to his house.

Ma Shumou's mansion is not far from Yuwen Mansion, on the same street, after the two entered the mansion, they came to the living room, Yuwen Chengdu sat unceremoniously on the first place, and his own maid poured tea.

"General, I know that you and Xiangye have always been kind to me, but I didn't expect that you gave me such a big errand this time, supervising the construction of the canal is the duty of the Ministry of Industry, and my Uncle Ma can't even tell the difference, which is this piece of material!

"This is the fattest errand in the world! How many people can't think of it, my father and I deliberately kept it for you, how dare you cower here?" Yuwen Chengdu took a sip of tea, and then said: "Moreover, the emperor has opened the golden mouth in the palace, and has appointed you as the head of the river, do you want to resist the decree?"

"General, you don't know how to conservancy, if you can't finish the work within three months, you will be killed!" Ma Shumou still had some worries in his heart.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, don't your subordinates understand?" Yuwen Chengdu was really a little speechless about Ma Shumou, how could it be completely different from the original book?

"Oh, general, there are all practitioners under the lowly subordinates, how can they understand this!" Ma Shumou still wanted to resign.

"Then you can find someone who understands!Hey, by the way, there is a person named Li Mi who may be able to help you, you should pay more attention!" Yuwen Chengdu suddenly thought that in the original book, it seemed that Li Mi only showed his prominence when he was digging the canal, he couldn't help but recommend it to Ma Shumou, and finally said in a deep voice: "In short, my father and I handed over this fat difference to you, and if you don't do it well, you can only let the emperor deal with it!"
