The guests and hosts in the hall are singing praises for the prince out of sincerity, they are all from the Chongzhen Dynasty into the new Ming, the most aware of the two dynasties are completely different, the Chongzhen Dynasty is poor to death, the new Ming Dynasty is so rich that the money is terrible, the new Ming Dynasty continues to spend money, and the money is constantly pouring in.

He was busy with construction, and the large sums of money brought from overseas started a large number of construction projects: developing the urban and rural economy, building roads, building factories, opening mines, and building water conservancy.

Yes, Yao Minggong said that it was Bahe Town, where he was located, that was also excavating iron ore and panning for gold!

It is conceivable that when minerals are developed, everyone will make a fortune.

"Bahe Town is an outstanding person!" Plug Yinxi complimented.

"Now that private capital is very active, my third child also wants to intervene, but I stopped it, we can't do this kind of thing!" Yao Minggong said righteously and awe-inspiringly.

He knows the system, and now the control is becoming stricter, and officials cannot participate in business, and if they can not get into trouble, they will not get into trouble. Moreover, instead of investing in Bahe, there are also investments in other local industries or emerging stock market bonds or something, and there are many investment channels, such as the tens of millions of bonds publicly issued by the imperial court, Yao Minggong also subscribed for 100,000 silver dollars!

Compared with Chongzhen's first assistant Wei Zaode only donated five hundred taels at the head of the national disaster, it is simply a heaven and a place, this Wei brother does not fight and does not give money, Emperor Chongzhen begged him, he did not give money, and then Li Zicheng clamped him with a stick, and he handed over tens of thousands of taels of silver!

The two talked freely about national politics and personal friendship, and Yao Minggong immediately asked Du Yinxi to go to his villa on Huolu Ridge to live temporarily, and Du Yinxi happily accepted the invitation.

He stayed in Xishui County for three days, and the two went out to play together, drank tea and talked together, and they were very happy!

He was particularly interested in the local construction of the Shantang Reservoir, and carefully inquired about the construction, capacity and operation of the reservoir.

He is right, with Yan Changwu taking the throne of Nanjing, all the ghosts and ghosts in the society have disappeared, all the wishful thinking has returned to vanity, and the officials and people of the whole society have only one choice, that is, work hard and work hard!

Because their boss Yan Changwu, his main job is to swing hoes and push carts on the construction site, and even he, the prince who says nothing and the winner of life who married Bai Fumei, works so hard, what reason do others have not to be diligent!

After the autumn harvest is the agricultural slack, Yan Changwu shouted in the court, calling on the local government and farmers to take advantage of the slack farming, and carry out water conservancy construction during the dry season in winter, including the construction of reservoirs, ponds, irrigation canals, irrigation wells, water conservancy aqueducts, canals, dredging rivers and so on.

His positioning is very high: "Water conservancy is the lifeblood of agriculture and a century-old plan!" ”

As a result, his words were unanimously approved by the court officials (then again, it seems that Yan Changwu said that they all agreed), this is China's historical tradition, in China, starting from Dayu, Li Bing, Zheng Guo, all dynasties, from the emperor to the common people have formed a strong concept: water conservancy projects must be carried out, and they must be constantly done.

A country that has built a country on farming and warfare attaches absolutely importance to water conservancy construction, and without good water conservancy construction, there is no guarantee for agricultural harvest.

Allocate 8 million silver dollars and invest a lot of money in water conservancy construction!

It's not just talking, but physically and mentally, Yan Changwu descended to Huaiyin, Han Xin's hometown on the edge of the Huai River, and personally participated in the labor to build the rural mountain pond reservoir!

He personally hoeed the ground, pushed a cart to transport the soil, mixed the cement, and carried it shoulder to shoulder with the local villagers, and worked all day!

Working together and eating a big pot of rice together, he ate with relish and no embarrassment, while the local officials swallowed it forcefully and was a little embarrassed.

It doesn't matter if he is a show or sincere, but there is no doubt that he attaches great importance to water conservancy construction.

Led by him, the local farmers carried their own bedding to the construction site regardless of their wages, and the reservoir was several meters higher in one day!

He told officials, the public, and reporters: "It's very good that there are more reservoirs, and reservoirs are the lifeblood of life and the lifeblood of the country." ”

He waved his hand and said with a grin: "We must build a large number of super invincible reservoirs throughout the country to resist drought and flooding, flood control, power generation, water transportation and aquaculture, and comprehensively develop and utilize water resources!" ”

"What? Generate electricity? Everyone was dumbfounded, and a female reporter asked weakly: "Ask the prince, what is power generation?" ”

Yan Changwu slipped his mouth and said unhappily: "Power generation is not a thing!" ”

He didn't say it anymore, no one dared to ask, but since then "power generation" has become a new term, and finally many years later, China's infrastructure madness has succeeded in generating electricity, and people exclaimed that the king of the southeast is incredible, just like Cao Cao said, "SARS, my life is over!" "Just as tough!

Yan Changwu inspected Huaiyin, where rivers and lakes are crisscrossed and the water network is crisscrossed, and seeing this, he encouraged the local government to vigorously build rural mountain ponds and reservoirs, saying, "It doesn't need to be big, but there must be many." ”

The construction of these mountain ponds and reservoirs does not require a large amount of investment, and mainly relies on the terrain to develop the habit of storing water according to local conditions.

Yan Changwu donated 200,000 silver dollars to the local area, preparing to build the main irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu, as well as the Hongze Lake embankment!

The main irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu is a diversion canal more than 300 miles long, which is one of the outlets for the Huai River to discharge flood into the sea, as well as the diversion of water from Hongze Lake to irrigate millions of acres of farmland on both sides, which is a big project for the benefit of the country and the people!

Yang Tiansheng, who was traveling with him, donated 50,000 silver dollars!

He said: "We must establish a sufficient and reasonable reservoir system, and aqueduct system, the use of precious water resources to the extreme, in the summer when there is a lot of precipitation, the reservoir gate closed to store water, in the winter dry season, open the gate to release water, through these scientific and rational use of water resources, can ensure the people's safe and reliable domestic water, industrial water, and agricultural irrigation water...... Let every county have a lot of reservoirs as one of the indicators for evaluating officials! ”

The latter sentence was killed, and when they continued their journey and arrived at Siyang County, they did not notify the local officials in advance, Yan Changwu led five hundred dragoons, drove straight into the county seat, went to the county office, and asked where the county order was?

Knowing that the county ordered to go to the countryside and supervise the construction of the reservoir, he immediately sent the iron horse to "arrest" the county order, and it turned out that he really found him to supervise the construction site by the river, and the iron horse brought the official who was covered in mud back to the county office, Yan Changwu was very satisfied after seeing it!

He looked for it, and then took off a "Special War Meritorious Service Medal" from his military uniform and pinned it to the chest of the county commander.

The Special Medal for Meritorious Service, set with diamonds, is used to commend soldiers who have made great military achievements, and the words to civilian officials...... Yan Changwu said calmly: "Don't laugh, this is a special battle, when I think of the unfavorable water conservancy, the poor harvest of the farmland, and the grain storage warehouses in each county are not full, this king can't sleep!" ”

"This county order reassures the king that he has made outstanding achievements, so he will be rewarded with this 'Special War Meritorious Service Medal'!"

So this lucky county commander became the winner of the army's special military medal in a unique way!

Now that he has received the Battle Medal and the army has recorded him in the books, he can enjoy many benefits!
