Crisis in the Tang Dynasty: the Wei River Never Flows Out

During the Tianbao period, the Tang Dynasty was in full bloom, the city of Chang'an was prosperous with singing and dancing, and all nations came to court. However, the umbilical cord of the empire, the water transport on the Weishui River, was suddenly blocked! Millions of stones of grain were stranded in the rivers.

The rivers are blocked not only by sediment, but also by the greed of people! The scope of this water transport case was beyond his imagination, and it pointed directly at the source of the trouble that shook the country...
