The city buildings and buildings of Licheng and Dukang were completed as soon as possible. Officials, big and small, were appointed from the academic world. Assassins, thieves, scouts, and meticulous work, have settled in one after another. The pressure on Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin plummeted. Only in this way can we free up our hands and concentrate on training.

Successive years of severe drought. There is little water in the giant horse, and the water in Daze is shallow.

The imperial court also carried out the 'big goose'.

It is also known as "雩礼", abbreviated as "雩". It is an ancient auspicious gift. In ancient times, the sacrifice of praying for rain, the pheasant sacrifice was to pray for rain. There are two kinds of ceasantries: the regular ceremonial ceremony held by the Son of Heaven in April in Mengxia, called the "Great Pheasant Emperor", with a grand dance and music procession, to worship the Emperor of Heaven and the gods of mountains, forests, rivers and rivers, in order to seek smooth wind and rain, abundant harvest, with a festive atmosphere. The other is due to the drought, from time to time, with witch dance instead of music, the atmosphere is serious, and the prayer is earnest.

In addition, the two ditches of Li Ting and Du Kang divert the giant horse water. The water level of Dukang Daze has dropped significantly. Even the long-abandoned Linxiang City is becoming more and more visible.

Wheel boats transport bamboo cages and gravel back and forth. The construction of the embankment is progressing very quickly. Thousands of manpower can build embankments of hundreds of meters in a day.

In ancient times, it was four feet wide and six feet deep, which was called a ditch.

When Liu Bei built the Liting ditch and the Dukang ditch, they were both expanded. Eight zhang wide, more than three zhang deep.

The construction of embankments and canals was not the first initiative of Liu Bei.

The former Han Dynasty experienced the "rule of Wenjing", and the country was rich in wealth and economic wealth. The book contains: "The wealth of the Beijing division is huge, and it is decaying and cannot be studied." The millet of Taicang, Chen Chen Xiang, is full of dew and accumulates outside, so that it is rotten and inedible. It means that the grain in the official warehouse is increasing year by year, and the old grain is pressed on the old grain, and it is filled with the granary and leaks outside, and it is rotten and cannot be eaten. Chang'an's shipping through Weishui, through the big river, and into the East China Sea can no longer meet the needs of economic development. At that time, Zheng, who was the great Si Nong, offered a message to the emperor to "lead Wei through the canal".

"Hanshu • Geographical Chronicles" contains: "At that time, Zheng was a great Sinong at that time, and said: 'At a different time, the Kanto Caosu went from Weishang to spend June. And the Weishui Road is more than 900 miles, and there are difficulties from time to time. Lead Wei through the canal from Chang'an, under the south mountain, to the river more than 300 miles, the path, easy to suffer, the degree can make three months; And more than 10,000 hectares of land under the canal, which can be irrigated, this damage saves the pawn, and the land in the middle of the fertilizer is to get the grain. ’”

"(The emperor) thought so, and ordered Xu Bobiao, a water engineer of Qi, to send tens of thousands of people to wear the canal, and pass through at the age of three. With Cao, great convenience. Later, there was a little more, and the people under the canal were quite able to irrigate. ”

The Cao Canal leads Weishui into the canal from Chang'an, follows the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains to the east, and then enters the big river. Cao Zhou can be transferred from the big river to Cao Canal to Chang'an. The original 900-mile Weishui bend from Tongguan to Chang'an has been shortened to more than 300 li, the annual transportation time has been shortened from half a year to three months, the annual transportation capacity has been increased from hundreds of thousands of stones per year to 6 million stones, and the farmland under the canal has also benefited from irrigation.

Such a big project took only three years.

A ditch of more than 100 miles is enough for half a year.

After spring and summer, the embankment was completed in late autumn.

The embankment is ninety-nine miles long and three hundred and seventy-five square steps. The embankment is more than two zhang wide, more than two zhang high, and the bottom is five zhang wide. Moved the people of Huai Sishan and built the city in the polders.

Lou Sang, Licheng, Du Kang, the rice field is fragrant, and it is the appearance of great ripeness.

There are also more than 70 miles of embankment in Litinggou. There are two embankments of Liting and Dukang, and the embankment surface and slope are all planted with alfalfa. When the alfalfa grows, the Xilin herdsmen come to cut the grass in high carts. Liu Bei also sent sergeants to protect along the way. The grass that was cut was piled up in Xilinyi.

Lousang and Licheng, Du Kang, the waterway is unimpeded. It is quite convenient whether you are driving or sailing. It's just that the Hu people are afraid of water and avoid boats, so they like to take high cars.

After the embankment was built, the craftsmen were divided into two, entered the city, supervised Kang, and assisted in building the building. Double the progress.

Especially the city of Dokang. Dry bars and heavy buildings have spread all over the hills. Looking from afar, the heavy buildings and long houses are lined up with each other. The streets are raised one after another, and the pedestrian stairs are extensive, which is spectacular. Especially at night. The lights are shining brightly, cascading on top of each other. Heaps of light like day.

The wells were particularly deep. Water towers have been built in every household. The vertical keel in the tower overturns, leads the water upstairs, and the drinking water is worry-free.

All the convenience is the same as Lou Sang. The underground pipe network is also divided into two channels. Rain and sewage diversion. Rainwater flows into the ditch. Fertilizer water is injected into the Mizusawa polder.

Seilin-eup is also on the bank of Cheonggye. Go out of the wild forest and go left into the Liting ditch, and you can reach Licheng. Go down along the clear stream, cross the white lake water pavilion and enter the right line into the Dukang ditch, and you can reach the Dukang city. With such convenience, if you don't build a port, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing.

A good craftsman supervised the construction of Xilin Port, and the rest of the month was completed.

Xilin Harbor resembles an urn city. The back is directly connected to the eup, and the port can be isolated by simply closing the gate of the eup. The port was commanded by Yan Rou and the newly recruited Hu crossbowmen. Among them are many condor shooters. Hu people are good at shooting. The number of crossbowmen commanded by his father-in-law, Huang Zhong, has increased to 1,000. The good shooters among the mountain barbarians were all selected.

Unified in the martial arts arena stationed for exercises. To be trained, it will be distributed everywhere and the acropolis will be arched. Crossbowmen are also divided into wu, shi, tun, and qu. There are orders to enter and exit. It is stationed everywhere in peacetime and mobilized by order in wartime. The soldiers and generals held all the orders in Liu Bei's hands.

The significance of the martial arts arena lies in. Not only to train combat skills, but also to familiarize yourself with military equipment. It also teaches marching formations, and battalion rules and military discipline. Whether it is a mountain barbarian or a Hu people, you need to keep it in mind. Military law is ruthless, but it is not just talk.

The Qingji refugees who rushed to Lousang were not lacking in the young and strong people who were powerful. He was also drafted into the army.

The number of dragon riders increased to 500. Xu Rong, Tiangang and other generals practiced every day. The horses were all sold by Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping from Beiping County. At this time, the horse is fat and the grass grows, and it is just going north.

Lifting the arrow car onto the newly built wheel boat, Liu Bei and the others will bid farewell to the two in the water of Baihu Lake.

Right Beiping Wuhuan, since the exchange of markets with Liu Bei, the wealth has increased greatly. Strength stop loss rebounds. There is still money left to buy the Hu people outside the Guanwai to go south and join the tribe. According to Wu Lian, in a few years, he will have the strength to fight with Xianbei in the south.

Xianbei is strong.

The leader, Tanshi Huai, was brave and resourceful when he was young, and was promoted as the leader of the tribe. Establish a royal court in Gaoliu Beidanhan Mountain, plunder the border counties to the south, resist Ding Ling in the north, repel Fuyu in the east, attack Wusun in the west, and base the Xiongnu homeland, reaching more than 14,000 li from east to west, and more than 7,000 li from north to south.

Emperor Huan was very jealous. I want to crown Tanshi Huai as the king and make peace with him. Instead of being accepted, Tanshi Huai stepped up its plundering of the border plugs. and divided the territory into three parts, each of which was led by a large man.

Xianbei has been Koubian for many years. In the north, "the border is depressed, there are relics, obstacles are destroyed, and the pavilion is extinct. ”

The people of the border counties moved south one after another.

Lü Bu also went south with his father. Attached to the subordinates of Ding Yuan, the assassin envoy of Bingzhou, he left Wuyuan County from then on.

Before and after the cold dew, news came from the county.

In other words, another group of Huaisi refugees has crossed the river. I'm coming to Youzhou. Most of the destinations are the hometown food towns of the young princes.

The counties they pass through are like facing a great enemy. Trembling, send out of the country. The cold winter is coming, for fear of provoking a civil uprising, and the homeless people who are good for life will become frozen and poor.

Anyway.

Everything was expected by Liu Bei.
