Su Li smiled at Gongye Siming''s request without saying anything. He just stretched out his hand and outlined it again on the scroll


    At the next moment, a picture of a river hanging on the ground is formed. The constantly rising embankment makes the river seem to be hanging high on the ridges on both sides. Once it overturns, it will be the sky!


    He didn''t say anything, but he had incorporated everything into this picture.


    At this time, although the river course of the mother river in the state of song is not so exaggerated, anyone who sees this painting will know that this painting is the future of the mother river in the long run!


    This painting seems to have magic, which makes the whole restaurant silent in an instant. All the people in the state of song, whether chatty scholars or dignitaries, are silent in front of this picture.


    A painting made them deeply aware of what was the great trouble of the state of song at present.


    If the river burst, it would definitely flood thousands of miles and turn most of the song country into a vast land.


    Even the scholar didn''t dare to talk any more, because he had no way to deal with such a scene. He even felt his hands and feet were cold and his heart was very anxious... After all, he was also a people of the state of song, and knew some good or bad.


    At this time, Su Li said calmly, "we have a clear idea of the danger of the mother river, but it is very difficult to manage it."


    "I believe we all understand why the riverbed becomes suspended above the... It is caused by the sediment washed down from the upstream and deposited here."


    "Therefore, in order to control the river, the most important thing is to prevent the sediment collapse in the upstream."


    His voice fell, and an old voice suddenly came from above his head: "the young man is right. However, the upstream of the mother river is located in the Northern Wei Dynasty. How can we let the Northern Wei Dynasty manage the river disaster for our song country?"


    Su Li looked up. Before he could say anything, Gongye Siming on the second floor had exclaimed, "Grandpa, why are you here!"


    There was another low uproar below, but I didn''t expect that Gongye taizai was also here!


    Su Li was slightly surprised, but still said quietly: "the management of the mother river has never been a single thing that a river section or a country can do. If we can''t start from the overall situation, it''s just a temporary solution."


    The Gongye taizai smiled. He condescended and asked, "do you have a good remedy for the symptoms, sir?"


    It has become the test of Su Li by Gongye taizai.


    Su Li still replied blandly: "the method of treating the symptoms is still used. It''s nothing more than repairing dams and dredging the river."


    As expected, the governor of Gongye nodded, and then said, "what about river dredging? I and others have also suggested this to the king, but in the end, because of the huge waste, I''m afraid it will affect spring farming, so I can''t implement it."


    All the scholars held their breath. I''m afraid this is the first time they touched on the specific implementation of the imperial court affairs. At the same time, it also makes them realize that the decision of any matter is not arbitrary, but needs to take into account a series of chain events.


    Just like at this time, river dredging is undoubtedly a good thing, but if it empties the Treasury, it will not be beautiful.


    Su Li still chose to paint this time.


    He carefully measured the upstream position of the big river map in his hand, and then wrote and added a dam extending from both sides to the middle of the big river. However, the dam is not closed in the center, but leaves a narrow space.


    In the picture, between the dams blocking the river, the torrent surged down, causing the water surface of the downstream river to churn


    Su Li''s brush seemed to have divine help, and the whole painting seemed to move by itself.


    After all, those scholars are empty talkers, watching this scene blankly.


    But the people on the third floor suddenly stood up, because they had been thinking about how to control the river, and when they saw nature, they immediately thought of it.


    "Beam of water and silt!" Gongye Siming on the second floor also woke up. He suddenly danced: "I see. Why didn''t I think it was so simple!"


    The old method of the state of song was to send more ships to dig mud back and forth in the mother river basin. This is a drop in the bucket. It''s inefficient. No wonder it''s expensive.


    But now Su Li''s method has suddenly opened up a new idea for them... Harness water and silt, and control water with water!


    "Sir, great talent!" Gongye taizai bowed.


    Su Li replied, "just because a friend had been ordered by the king to control the water, he thought about it."


    "So? Sir, it''s really......" Gongye taizai is confused. It''s a political achievement if he puts forward such a good recipe for water control!


    "As I said, governing the mother river should never be a matter of one country." Su Li said frankly.


    ... for the time being, let the monarch and Minister of the state of song manage this section of river for the Western Qin Dynasty first. After the sharp scholars of the Western Qin Dynasty captured the state of song, a lot of trouble can be saved.


    Su Li naturally has selfishness, but his selfishness is now said, and no one will believe it. Everyone can only think that he cares about the world.


    "Mr. Gao Yi!" Tai Zai bowed again, but this time he was even more respectful.


    The last time I only recognized Su Li''s talent, but now I recognize Su Li''s character and mind... People in the Song dynasty like to play this. People with outstanding talent and good conduct will be respected by them.


    This time, even the readers in the hall downstairs dared not have any disrespect. They all thanked respectfully: "Mr. Gao Yi!"


    This scene made Su Li a little embarrassed, but he found a good way to transfer his tension. He looked at the young man on the second floor and asked gently, "Gong yesiming, right? Do you have any questions?"


    Gongye Siming was a little embarrassed, but when he saw Su Li''s question, he couldn''t help saying, "Sir, great talent, I don''t know if there is a way to solve the urgent affairs of Song Dynasty?"


    "The rainy season is approaching, and it''s too late to try to clear the silt at this time. Seeing that the river is blocked, we will experience a big flood again... Please have mercy on millions of people in the state of song!"


    Su Li was slightly stunned... The rainy season in the state of song is coming. What else can we do at this time except to continue to strengthen the dam?


    But in this regard, he asked quietly, "what''s the opinion of Gongye taizai? Of course, it''s even if it''s a secret of the court."


    "It doesn''t hurt. I should tell these young people about the difficulties of the imperial court." old granny Zai said gently, without any intention of confidentiality.


    "Now the water level of the mother river is higher than in previous years, but it is almost certain that the mother river will be flooded when the rainy season comes."


    "Although the state of song did not slacken its efforts in building more dams, it was afraid that no matter how well the dams were built, they could not withstand the surging floods. Finally, the whole state of song became a land of prosperity."


    "So the court discussed with the central government whether it would be possible to dig a section of dam upstream for flood discharge when necessary... To exchange 100000 people for peace."


    The voice fell, and the whole restaurant was silent.


    The scholars downstairs felt suffocated... The government was far from as simple as they thought.
