That night, Su Jin racked his brains to write a memo, in which in addition to Li Zhihe's case, he also wrote some of his own views on the construction of the Weizhou border city, and more importantly, important people.

Su Jin now urgently feels the lack of manpower around him, Wang Dynasty Mahan and others are difficult to take on big responsibilities, being a thug is more than enough and loyal, but when it comes to the construction of Weizhou City in the future, none of these people can take on a big role, and the general judge in Weizhou City and the managers of several departments have been taken down, and the positions of the chief officials of many departments have been vacant, Su Jin only temporarily designated the deputy to take over, but it is not a way after all.

If he waited for the imperial court to appoint, Su Jin was afraid that the person who came would not be able to pee in the same pot as himself, so Su Jin unceremoniously named and asked for someone in the song.

The first thing to ask for is Li Chong, in Tianchang, Su Jin has seen him lead people to build canals and roads to make a little Tianchang prosperous, this big black man is careless and careful, and more importantly, he is very compatible with himself, and working together is a happy life, so Su Jin asked him to come to Weizhou as a general judge.

In addition, he also asked Wei Songhe, who is now in a small county in the south as a county commander, Yangzhou has deployed the commander Pan Jiang, Wei Songhe Su Jin is planning to arrange him to be the head of the government, and Pan Jiang's appointment is not up to him, Su Jin just suggested that Pan Jiang be transferred to replace Ge Huaimin, so after all, the case involves Ge Huaimin, although he said a lot of good things for Ge Huaimin, but the death penalty can be avoided, the punishment is certain, and the worst is also the use of demotion.

The appointment of the rest of the officials, Su Jin has the right to appoint them on his own, but Su Jin also has to observe, the existing personnel are not very familiar, the imperial court is best to send people, if not, Su Jin intends to correct them according to the performance of the deputy temporary generation, after all, it is not a role that can turn the sky upside down, with their own sitting, if they derail their words and deeds, they can be removed immediately.

On the construction of Weizhou City, Su Jin wrote very carefully, talking about planning, construction, and post-war reconstruction, closely following a theme, that is, to tell Zhao Zhen that he was determined to take Weizhou as a blueprint, and after the war, he would let the northwest quickly get rid of the appearance of relying on the imperial court to relieve himself, I believe that this will inevitably catch Zhao Zhen's attention, the Northwest Fourth Road has now become the biggest burden to the imperial court, millions of people need relief, and the annual relief food spent in the northwest is no less than millions of stones, and the money is nearly millions, if Su Jin can find a way to be self-sufficient, Naturally, Zhao Zhen was happy to see it.

Su Jin also knew that the war was not over but talked about the construction after the war, and seemed to believe that the war was about to end, and the two countries of Song and Xia were going to talk about peace, after this piece of war was sent to the capital, there must be some people in the DPRK and China, but Su Jin just wanted to show his advanced vision, after all, in Su Jin's memory, the war in Song and Xia was about to end, if it was really because of his own crossing to change the original face of history, Su Jin could only consider himself unlucky, but in the long run, there is no war that does not end, even if it is fought for ten or twenty years, it will end after all, It's not hard to prevaricate.

After the 10,000-word fold was written, Su Jin wrote two more letters, one was addressed to Yan Shu, who reported the situation in the northwest to him in detail, and after saying some polite words, he asked for money and food.

Originally, Su Jin got a lot of money from Li Zhi and them this time, and this group of people was very rich, although some of their property was transferred to other places by them, but the nearly 600,000 yuan of money left in Weizhou alone was enough to make Su Jin feel that he was not busy in vain this time; But this kind of money Su Jin said that he would not take it out, this is hard-earned money.

But more than 100,000 people in Weizhou opened their mouths to eat, and they reopened their labor, and promised to give wages, this money is naturally to be paid by the three divisions, of course, the most important thing is food, and the food must not be cut off, otherwise it will be difficult to support the situation even if he has great ability, so Su Jin had to ask Yan Shu for the first time, hoping that he would open the back door and give more money and grain distribution in Weizhou, so as to facilitate his own business in Weizhou.

The other letter is a letter to Yan Biyun's family, in addition to reporting safety, it is to apologize to Yan Biyun, Yan Biyun is pregnant, and she came out soon after her marriage, naturally she feels deeply guilty, and at the same time she also greets the daughters in the family, asks her mother to say goodbye, and promises to take time to return to the capital once she is free from affairs.

Early the next morning, the dynasty took a hundred horse soldiers to escort Li Zhihe and other seven or eight prisoners on the way back to the capital, Su Jin sent the dynasty out of the city for ten miles, and when he turned around and came to the city gate, he found that the city gate was wide open, and the city gate was bustling with people, all with axes and saws, and some were carrying small baskets, and they all went to the west in the direction of Longshan.

Su Jin knew that this was the people going to Longshan to cut wood and take stones, but Su Jin was depressed, did these people plan to move the wood and stones back empty-handed? The road of dozens of miles is completely carried by manpower, which is exhausting, and this efficiency will be extremely low.

Su Jin hurriedly ordered someone to find the official in charge of this matter to hear the news, and the official said aggrievedly: "The livestock, mules and horses in the city have long been slaughtered and eaten, where are the cattle pulling carts?" Besides, this trip to Longshan is full of Qianmo trails and no driving, and there is no way to transport it back by car, so it can only be carried back by manpower. ”

Su Jin was stunned, he originally planned to take out the hundreds of Xixia war horses that he had snatched from Fan Zhongyan last time as cattle to pull the cart, and the speed of manpower pushing and pulling would definitely be very fast, but he didn't expect that there was no road from here to Longshan that could be driven by a car.

Damn, the infrastructure is really backward, how to attract foreign investment? Su Jin's stomach turned upside down, if he completely relied on carrying luck, even tens of thousands of people would not be able to get much back in a day, how to cope with the huge construction needs?

Su Jin hurriedly stomped his feet, stood at the gate of the city and meditated, and suddenly saw a child holding a small boat made of broken leaves playing by the stinky ditch, suddenly his heart lit up, and he turned his head and asked: "Where does the snow on Longshan Mountain flow after it melts and gathers?" ”

The official said: "The snow melts and gathers at the foot of the mountain to form the Huishui River, and then runs for dozens of miles to join the Weishui River in the south, which is a tributary of the Weishui. ”

Su Jin said: "What is the water potential? ”

The official said: "Sometimes it is more and sometimes less, it is one or two feet deep during the flood season, and it is only two feet deep when it dries up." ”

Su Jin pondered: "At this time, it is the height of summer, the snow on the top of the mountain melts very quickly, and the water level will not be very low. ”

The official said, "What do you mean...... With the help of hydraulics? ”

Su Jin said: "Yes, all the trees cut down are transported to the nearby Longshui River, and then float on the water surface to use the water flow downstream, let's send people to salvage and transport them back in the downstream river, wouldn't it save trouble and effort?" ”

The official slapped his hands and said, "Yes, Master Su's method is wonderful." ”

But suddenly, his face became sad again, and he said, "But my lord, this matter is also quite troublesome." ”

Su Jin said: "What? ”

"Longshui does not pass through our Weizhou City, the wood after being soaked in water is heavier, and it will take more people to carry it back than to carry it back directly from the mountain, isn't that the same?"

Su Jin said: "How many miles is the nearest river from the city?" ”

The official said: "Twenty miles to the south." ”

"Is there a road to it?"

"That's right, the official road is direct."

Su Jin smiled: "Isn't that the end?" I'll give you 400 horses, and you can arrange manpower to get one or two hundred carts to transport back and forth, won't that be solved? ”

The official was overjoyed and said, "Everything is fine over there with cattle pulling carts!" Yes, the stones can be filled with baskets, and simple wooden rows can be tied on them and float down the river, and it is also saved to carry the stones back, so that the speed is several times faster. ”

Su Jin smiled: "Your brain is quite fast, so how much wood do you say you can transport back in a day?" How much can the stone transport? ”

The official said: "According to the adult's method, the more than 10,000 people I sent to the mountain can cut down at least 5,000 pieces of wood a day, and the stones depend on the progress of the mountain, which is not easy to say." ”

Su Jin said: "Okay, I want you to bring back at least 3,000 pieces of wood every day, and 3,000 baskets of stones, it's not difficult." ”

The official patted his chest and said, "This matter is wrapped up in the humble position, if you can't do it well, the adults will cut me." ”

Su Jin said: "If you can't do it, I won't cut you, but I will remove your official position and let you cut down trees and take stones with everyone; If it's done, you are now the temporary representative of the Kurashi, and I will let you directly become the Kurashi and reward you for doing your best, how about it? ”

The official knelt down and kowtowed, "Master Xie cultivates, and he will do his best." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "Everything depends on you, the opportunity is given to you, it depends on you whether you can catch it or not." What is your name? ”

The official rolled his eyes, and after making trouble for a long time, he didn't even have a name in the eyes of the prefect, so he reported his name, Su Jin remembered it in his heart, and asked him to hurry up and arrange the dispatch.
