Chapter 1112 Laojun Mountain
"I think there is a Yangtze River navy and a sea dragon army along the coast, but the Yellow River has nothing."
Zhang Weiqing said sincerely: "Since the recovery of Guanzhong, there have been endless merchants coming and going. As far as I know, in June alone, the relevant tax was nearly 50,000 yuan, which is very busy and is waiting to be under the jurisdiction of the court."
"In addition, the newly established naval commander of the Yellow River can also clear mud and sand and promote shipping on a daily basis. Moreover, the only thing north of Luoyang is that Mengjindu is extremely weak. With a navy, you can also be prepared."
"What you said is reasonable!" Looking at Zhang Weiqing's solemn appearance, Li Jia couldn't help but nodded and expressed her approval. Then, looking at the Yellow River water, she couldn't help but say: "But have you forgotten a little bit that the Yellow River will freeze when it comes to winter."
"This..." Hearing this, Zhang Weiqing's pupils shrank, and he was stunned. Why didn't he expect it? Once it freezes, the navy will be useless?
"Hahaha--" Li Huai, who was standing beside him, couldn't help laughing, looking at Zhang Weiqing who was confused, he felt more and more amused in his heart.
"I am aware of my despicability!" Zhang Weiqing lowered his head in shame, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Hahaha!" Li Jia also smiled. After a while, he pointed to the Yellow River and said, "But you are right. Beyond Luoyang, you can't defend it by leaning against the Yellow River alone. Besides, it's still a river that freezes in winter."
The Yellow River is said to be an antenna dangerous, but it is actually true. The waves are turbulent and extremely wide. Crossing the river is more difficult than the Yangtze River, and building a floating bridge is even more difficult. But in winter, it freezes and loses its name as a natural danger.
Li Huai, who was standing beside him, also lost his smile, and he also looked at the Yellow River, thinking inexplicably.
Since ancient times, the harm of the Central Plains dynasty is naturally the north, and north of Luoyang is Shanxi and the Yellow River is difficult!
"Frozen in winter, then break the ice!"
Li Jiahao was so angry that he said, "I don't believe it. I can't do anything about this little ice?"
"The shipbuilding industry in Jiangnan is quite prosperous, so we specially customized some icebreakers and sand control ships. The biggest figures of the Yellow River Navy are sand control and icebreaking."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Weiqing was very excited. Although this was just a talk on paper and he had doubts about the craftsmen's abilities, he hoped that it was not.
In order to protect Luoyang, this thing is worth doing.
There are endless ships on the Yellow River, but there are also many boatmen on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The prosperity of business has driven the economy and also has driven employment. As long as you have a bite of food, there will naturally be no rebellion.
If the Yellow River breaks ice in winter and can be shipped, it will be worth it to drive the jobs of many people and protect the safety of Luoyang at all costs.
"Drink half a bowl of mud in one bowl!" Li Jia looked at the rushing Yellow River and couldn't help but sigh: "From Zhengzhou, there are all hanging rivers, which are growing over time and increasing. Once there is any change, the dike will collapse and be decayed for thousands of miles. The Yellow River has become unreasonable."
Li Huai and Zhang Weiqing on the side were also speechless. Isn’t the reason why they moved from Bianliang to Luoyang because it was too dangerous? Once they were negligent, it would be no joke to return to Bianliang.
Although Bianliang is prosperous, it is necessary to have the fate to enjoy it.
"Zhang Weiqing, in this way, you also serve as the Yellow River Water Transport Author and comfort the violent Hebo. First of all, start with sand control!"
Li Jia said casually, Zhang Weiqing could only respond.
Although the Yellow River collapsed, although it was nothing for Luoyang, Henan Prefecture was the most capital. It was affected by disasters. How could Luoyang escape the influence? Bianliang was destroyed, what should I do if the canal transportation was transported?
Thinking of this, he even regretted setting up the capital in Luoyang, but there was no way, and only this place was the most suitable.
After Zhang Weiqing took on the heavy burden, the emperor walked around and went south directly towards Funiu Mountain.
After all, he never forgot that he came out to escape the summer heat.
Funiu Mountain is the remnant of the Qinling Mountains, and the north of the Nanyang Basin is the biggest obstacle to its northward journey.
Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu made the capital of Luoyang, and he could not help but want to be near Nanyang. After all, this is his basic base and his fellow villagers are located.
Li Jia went south leisurely, but it was not far away. She was in Lushi County near Luoyang, and there was a mountain called Laojun Mountain.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Yuchi Jingde was sent to build it, and he gave the plaque written by the imperial pen and wrote it in person, "Famous Mountains in the World".
When I learned that the future of the Imperial Veterans, the entire Lushi County had been looking forward to it for a long time. On both sides of the road, they were planted with turf, flowers and trees, and even sent people to take care of them regularly every day. When the Imperial Veterans arrived, they always looked like green grass and flowers, so as to make the king and father smile.
Sure enough, when the emperor came and saw the flowers, although he felt it was a bit wasteful, he felt much better, and the sultry along the way was not that annoying.
"Lushi County is intent!"
After getting off the carriage, the imperial carriage came to a house contributed by the imperial merchants. Li Jia sighed lightly, and the Lu County Magistrate next to him felt that his bones had been lighter, and his face was full of flattery.
As for words, he had no choice but to speak. Huang Dezhang, the prefect of Henan, was accompanying him, chatting and laughing, which made him particularly jealous and wished he could replace him.
"Dezhang, if you know Henan Prefecture, don't forget the Yellow River!"
Li Jia sighed softly: "If you understand craftsmanship, it will naturally be beneficial to desertification control, and you also need more help to Governor Zhang."
"I know!" Huang Dezhang said softly: "The Yellow River is difficult to control desertification, but a long-term solution is impossible for a while."
"However, at present, your Majesty's summer resort is considered a serious matter."
"Hahaha!" Li Jia pointed at him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you have been a prefect for two years and have become smooth."
"Then, I will hand it over to you this time. If you want to allocate money from Shaofu Temple, don't be too extravagant, just one million guan."
The emperor sighed and said, "By the way, the autumn tax in Lushi County this year is exempted. The labor force has mobilized a lot of trouble."
"Your Majesty is as kind as a mountain, and the whole country of Lu's County is very grateful!" The Lu's County Magistrate finally found the opportunity to speak and said gratefully.
The emperor's words benefited tens of thousands of people. Of course, every move also affected many people. He knew very well the behavior of the bureaucrats below, so he would not bother without trouble.
The Summer Palace is set up in Laojun Mountain, more than 200 miles, which is not too much trouble.
The next day, the emperor traveled to Laojun Mountain, and the Taoist priests in the entire Laojun Mountain Taoist Temple were in high spirits and had already arrived at the foot of the mountain, sprinkled spices, and waited for a long time.
After getting off the carriage, the emperor looked at Laojun Mountain, which was only more than 2,000 meters high, and suddenly he had a fighting spirit: "Let's be sincere, how about climbing the mountain?"
Li Huai and Huang Dezhang were shocked. The emperor was afraid that he was not stupid. How difficult it was!
The Taoists were also caught off guard by this action.
"Help, help--" Suddenly, under heavy protection, Li Jia suddenly heard the shout and frowned.
