The Village Doctress Chapter 793: The idea of the Grand Canal
What Lin Fufu remembered was the Sui and Tang Dynasties Grand Canal, the most famous in the history of the previous life, with great achievements for thousands of years!
Given that the business of Great Wei is so developed at present, as long as the treasury has enough money, the Grand Canal can be built through the north, south, east and west!
Lin Fufu's eyes became brighter and brighter, which made Princess Ruoshui confused.
"Girl, what are you thinking?" Princess Ruoshui patted the back of Lin Fufu's hand and looked at her worriedly.
Lin Fufu's apricot eyes turned brightly, he grasped Princess Ruoshui's hand, and said a little excitedly: "Auntie, what you said just now reminded me that I went north from the southern Xinjiang to the capital, and I also watched along the way." I have visited many big rivers, and what I think is that we can use the Ministry of Industry to organize people to draw a land hydrological map in the territory of Wei, and see if we can develop a set of one or several artificial Grand Canals combined with the hydrological characteristics of various places!"
Princess Ruoshui was stunned when she heard the words.
She has been in power for decades, and she has never thought about this, not because she couldn't think of it, but because she didn't dare to think about it!
Even if it is mentioned by Lin Fufu now, she still dare not think about it.
Seeing that Princess Ruoshui was silent for a long time, Lin Fufu frowned in doubt, "Auntie, is this not possible?"
She thinks it is very feasible.
It will definitely take a lot of manpower and material resources to excavate the Grand Canal manually, but as long as you work hard, you can always do it!
One generation is not enough, then two generations will work hard, if two generations are not enough, then three generations will continue to work, as long as you don't give up, as long as you keep working hard, you will be able to dig out one day!
As long as the North-South Grand Canal is excavated, it will be a merit for future generations and benefit future generations!
Just like the Sui and Tang Dynasties Grand Canal, since it was successfully excavated, it is still making contributions to future generations, and it is a great contribution!
"Auntie, if we succeed in digging the artificial Grand Canal, then the circulation of materials between our north and the south will be closer, and our business in Dawei will be more developed! Moreover, it can also store water for irrigation, which is also very beneficial to agriculture. The drought is estimated to be alleviated..."
Lin Fufu's eyes lit up, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became. Of course, Princess Ruoshui knew very well what she said meant.
When the circulation of materials between the north and the south is tight, commerce must be developed, and more developed commerce means that the court can have more taxes.
Not to mention the contribution to agriculture.
Princess Ruoshui was also moved.
And...
Lin Fufu narrowed his bright eyes, and whispered in Princess Ruoshui's ear, "Auntie, the most important thing is that there are actually military benefits. You can also transport troops and grain by water! In this way, no matter whether it is north or south, the big problem of dispatching troops and grain and grass can be easily solved in case of war! Even if it can’t solve all the problems, at least it can save a lot of time !”
What Lin Fufu said completely moved Princess Ruoshui.
In Princess Ruoshui's mind, if the Great Wei had to build an artificial Grand Canal at this time, the most important thing would be military use!
Who made most of Wei's land border on other countries?
If there are too many neighboring countries, there will be more wars and more invasions by enemy countries.
Although most of the countries bordering the Great Wei are small countries, if the small countries are united together, the lethality will be great.
This time the Nanban small country alliance attacked the Great Wei is a living example!
When Lin Fufu talked about the military benefits, he also understood it.
In the long history of the previous life, in order to consolidate their respective regimes, the feudal supreme rulers of all dynasties passively or actively launched wars and continued conquests. the best choice.
Therefore, digging canals is undoubtedly necessary for military operations to communicate the north-south water transport.
If the Great Wei really made up his mind to open the Grand Canal, in the final analysis, it was just to facilitate the consolidation and development of the Great Wei regime. Military operations were the most direct purpose, while agriculture and economy were secondary goals!
Lin Fufu knows that as the regent princess who has been in power for decades, Princess Ruoshui must value the huge benefits of military operations the most.
Although economy and agriculture are the most important things to her, Princess Ruoshui definitely thinks bigger than her situation.
Because if Wei could not protect himself in military operations, what about economy and agriculture?
This is the difference between a real politician and Lin Fufu, a non-politician.
In terms of the political situation, Lin Fufu knew that he would never be able to surpass Princess Ruoshui in his life.
Of course, she doesn't care about this.
"Well, you said that the excavation of the artificial Grand Canal is something that I have to think about in the past few days. It is indeed necessary at first glance!" very.
Because there are many mountains and rivers in southern Xinjiang, it is very inconvenient to dispatch troops and transport food and grass.
Fortunately, Meng Bufan led his troops south without hesitation. Even so, he almost died in the southern border.
He was able to triumph in the end and return safely. In Princess Ruoshui's heart, Lin Fufu must be credited.
So, she now thinks, if there is such a dug grand canal connecting the north and the south, maybe it will be much easier to win the battle in southern Xinjiang!
Lin Fufu knew that Princess Ruoshui had already approved it.
Of course, it is impossible for Dawei to decide on such a big event with a single mouth of her, the regent princess, and this has to be discussed in the court.
But if the water princess agrees and agrees, then the resistance will be much smaller.
"It's natural for my aunt to think carefully about such a big event for a few days." Lin Fufu accepted it as soon as he saw it, and he had already made it up in his heart. .
For the money, Lin Fufu still feels that she is willing to do so. After earning such a large family business, she can save some of it for future generations, and the rest is best for the people to use for the people.
Furthermore, if her descendants can only cheat old people in the future, then she has failed too much, this is absolutely not allowed!
"Auntie, Eldest Sister!" Lin Si gave the last piece of watermelon on the plate to his younger sister Lin Nian, and turned around to find Lin Fufu and Princess Ruoshui standing at the flower bed and looking at them with a smile on their faces. The little guy hurriedly stood up and saluted the two of them.
Hearing his brother's voice, Lin Nian hurriedly put the last piece of watermelon into his mouth with a silver fork, then ran out of the pavilion with a smile on his cheeks puffed out.
"Mother, Eldest Sister, you are here!" Lin Nian held Lin Fufu and Princess Ruoshui's hands one by one.
"Well, I'll come to see you, and I'll tell you by the way that I'm going back, and I'll come to see you some other day." Lin Fufu said with a smile.
When the two little guys heard that she was going back to Tiangui's eldest princess' mansion, both of them showed reluctance on their faces, which made Lin Fufu feel soft.
