The official responsible for assessing the Yi Shen Zheng was called Guo Xi, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Khitan. He was a Han Chinese who was born in the Khitan. He had good strategism and was a good hand in administration.

Yi Shenzheng's character was flawed, but his talent was undoubted. He quickly passed the examination and was appointed magistrate of Lekang County.

Lekang is located in Taizhou, Khitan, which is later known as Sijiazi Village on the north bank of the Taoer River in the northeast of Taonan City, Jilin Province. It was deserted in the early years, but because it is located in the lower reaches of the Hun River, there is a large area of ​​land that can be reclaimed around it. Yelu Abaoji will move from there

The people plundered from the Central Plains were settled here and gradually formed a small village.

Yi Shenzheng is good at flattering people and adapting to the wind. A sycophant like him will never treat him badly. He has been a prime minister, so if he is asked to do the county magistrate's work, he will be easily captured.

He first relied on his extraordinary emotional intelligence to establish a relationship with the wealthy gentry in Lekang County, and saw the shortcomings of Lekang County. With his sharp tongue, he encouraged the wealthy gentry to invest in building roads and diverting water, so that the water from the Hun River could be introduced into the Lekang County.

Field area.

The main direction of water diversion here is the land owned by the wealthy gentry, but the surrounding people can also get a share of the pie.

In just over a month, Yi Shenzheng has become a good official loved by everyone in Lekang County.

One day, Yi Shenzheng received an order from Shangfeng, asking him to lead the people of Lekang County to dredge a canal and divert the water from the Hun River to the Xiliao River.

This order made Yi Shenzheng feel baffled.

The Northeast at this moment is truly the Great Northern Wilderness. Without heavy equipment, it is impossible to reclaim wasteland in many places.

The distance from the Hun River to the Xiliao River is not long, but there are dense swamps and dense forests along the way, and the land is hard and unsuitable for human survival. It is completely meaningless to divert the water to the Xiliao River.

However, Yi Shenzheng's greatest advantage is that he is obedient. He just does what Shangfeng arranges. He doesn't ask too many questions, let alone show his specialness, and calls on the people to obey orders.

The Khitan was very satisfied with Yi Shenzheng's attitude, and asked him to supervise the work, entrusting tens of thousands of people around him to manage, and asked him to dig a canal two feet wide and one foot deep within a limited time.

Yi Shenzheng had even more doubts in his mind. How could an irrigation river need to be two feet wide and one foot deep?

Yi Shenzheng was curious and took advantage of his position to discuss the matter with his subordinate county magistrate.

Many county magistrates complained repeatedly, especially in the process of digging canals, that they were in urgent need of craftsmen.

After careful investigation, Yi Shenzheng was keenly aware that five years ago, craftsmen suddenly became a rare commodity. Many craftsmen in his village went to big towns to make a living, and it was said that they were doing well.

Immediately review

Zheng Lean thought of the strange stories in the village: it was said that there was a dragon causing trouble in the upper reaches of the Hun River. If their fishing boats approached, they would be swallowed by the dragon. Some people also said that there was a group of cannibal savages living in the upper reaches of the Hun River. There were already more than a dozen people in the village who did not believe in evil.

The fisherman disappeared.

Moreover, some ship wood chips and some domestic garbage will drift down the upper reaches from time to time.

Yi Shenzheng put these things together and noticed some clues. Looking at the canals they dug, he thought, this is not irrigation but boating, right?

Yi Shenzheng found a map and found that as long as the Hun River and Liao River were connected, this canal would lead directly to the Liaodong Gulf.

Wu Desi found Yi Shenzheng at this time.

Yi Shenzheng told Wu Desi's spies about his findings, and sure enough, they discovered the shipyard and their navy in the upper reaches of the Hun River.

When Yi Shenzheng was rewarded, his eyes were filled with achievements. He wrote a letter in person, adding information about how he cleverly discovered the traces of the Khitan navy.

Jealousy, Wu Desi's spy was passed to Luo Youdu.

Luo Youdu learned about the Khitan navy and contacted his superiors to understand Yelu Wuzhi's plan. He immediately pretended to be arrogant and used the plan to lure the snake out of the cave.

Luo Youdu put the news in his hand into the fire and burned it, and said loudly: "Quickly, summon the generals to discuss the matter."

Even though it was early in the morning, the core generals still gathered in the imperial tent within three tongs and drums!
