Chapter 200

"As everyone knows, I have always been a conservative!"

"My suggestion is that instead of hanging a sword over the head of Da Qian, it is better to hang this sword over someone else's neck."

A group of ministers: "???"

Lu Zhen was shocked.

Cui Xinghe was shocked.

The officials were all dumbfounded.

Even Wu Zhao couldn't help but ask, "How to hang the sword over someone else's neck?"

Gao Yang revealed a smile that made Shangguan Wan'er's heart tremble, and he continued, "I have not only studied merchants and military strategy a little, but I also have some research on the flow of Da Qian's rivers!"

"It's just that this strategy of mine consumes much more manpower than building the Ling Canal, but once successful, it will hang the sword over the necks of the Chu Kingdom and Great Yan."

For a moment, the officials' gazes all gathered on Gao Yang.

"Our Da Qian's terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and most rivers flow from west to east, such as the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Huai River, etc., but there are also rivers with other directions."

"The Canglan River flows south all the way, while the Yarlung Tsangpo River in our Great Qian plateau area flows east first, and then flows south."

"To the south of Great Qian are the Chu Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom. Both countries are often drought-stricken and lack water. The main rivers within their borders are just changing names; half of their water is the water from our Great Qian's Canglan River and Yarlung Tsangpo River flowing in."

"If we can cut off the water flow from the Yaluzangbujiang and the Lancang River and divert water into the sources of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, not only can our Da Qian have ten thousand more acres of fertile land, but we can also cut off the flowing water within Great Chu and the Yan Kingdom. They will definitely be more drought-stricken, and if we want to make them have floods, it is just a matter of a single thought!"

"What do you think of this plan of mine?"

Once these words were spoken.

The entire Jin Luandian instantly fell into a deathly silence, everyone's eyes widened, somewhat unable to believe it.

Wu Zhao also clenched her fists, her beautiful eyes wide.

Shangguan Wan'er almost couldn't stand steady and fell to the ground.

Great Chu and the Yan Kingdom are drought-stricken all year round. If Da Qian can cut off the rivers of the Canglan River and the Yarlung Tsangpo River, it can hang a knife over the necks of Great Chu and the Yan Kingdom.

Even artificially creating floods!

Cui Xinghe's face twitched wildly, and he looked in horror at the place where Gao Yang was. All the civil officials in the court, along with Gao Feng and Gao Tianlong, were shocked.

Is this a plan proposed by a human?

He said that building the Ling Canal was labor-intensive and costly, but blocking a river and diverting it to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, isn't this project ten times more vast?

Isn't this even more labor-intensive and costly?

Cui Xinghe originally thought Gao Yang was really a conservative, but he didn't expect him to be a conservative who felt the radicals were too conservative!

If this were really done, the end of Great Chu and Great Yan would arrive, and even in a single thought, it could make Great Chu and Great Yan unable to make a living, with wailing everywhere!

Wu Zhao's eyes shifted, and her phoenix eyes became brighter and brighter.

As soon as Gao Yang saw Wu Zhao's expression, he knew that Wu Zhao was moved.

But Cui Xinghe came back to his senses and said flatly, "This matter must not be done!"

"Not to mention the rivers of the Canglan River and the Yarlung Tsangpo River, just relying on our Da Qian's current national strength to cut them off and introduce them into the sources of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, even if it succeeds, the price behind this is something our Da Qian cannot bear!"

"Furthermore, once this large-scale project starts, it will definitely not be hidden from Great Chu and Great Yan. They will definitely send troops to attack, otherwise, the two countries will truly have a sword of our Da Qian hanging over their necks!"

"War will arrive in an instant!"

Prime Minister Xu Xuanji also stood out and said, "The Yaluzangbujiang is located on the plateau. In that environment, wanting to cut off the river, I don't know how many corvee laborers will be needed and how many people will die."

"Although there are huge benefits after this is built, the price mentioned by Lord Gao is too high."

Lu Zhen and other military generals said one after another, "A bunch of old fools, human effort can achieve anything; wouldn't people die building the Ling Canal?"

"You are all just being high-sounding; this is just a difference in how many people die!"

"I support the brilliant plan of the Assistant Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. Instead of hanging a knife over our own heads, it is better to hang the knife over someone else's neck!"

For a moment, the Jin Luandian was in an uproar.

But the instigator, Gao Yang, remained calm.

A poisonous strategist only needs to propose a poisonous plan; as for whether it is feasible or whether it is adopted, that is the business of Wu Zhao and the officials.

Wu Zhao came back to her senses and also felt that this matter was too fantastic.

But this argument could drag this matter on, which also achieved her goal.

"Enough!"

As soon as her voice came out, the officials immediately became quiet.

Wu Zhao looked at the officials, "The world is stable now; for our Da Qian, it is not appropriate to be labor-intensive and costly."

"I will consider this matter carefully. Assistant Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, follow me. Court dismissed!"

After Wu Zhao finished speaking, she stood up and walked away!

"Yes!"

Gao Yang also hurriedly followed.

Soon, Wu Zhao took Gao Yang to the Imperial Garden in the back palace.

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang and said, "Today in the court, whether it was the preemptive strike against Prince Rong or the later disruption, I am very satisfied!"

"With you assisting me, I will definitely create a hegemony."

Wu Zhao came back to her senses; her noble face, without any flaws, was filled with breathtaking beauty under the golden sunlight.

Gao Yang said with a confused face, "Your Majesty, where did I disrupt the situation?"
