As early as when Wu Shitong was the governor of Lizhou, the ambassador of Dushui was staring at the embankment along the river from Xiangyang to Jiujiang, but it cost a lot of people's power, and most of the real reinforcement was still in the southeast of Shannan Province and the northwest of Jiangnan Province.

Tick –

A rapid whistle sounded, and then I saw the foreman of the construction team waving a flag on the road leading to Yuezhou through Puqi County.

And in the sky, in the gondola of a hot air balloon, an aerial geographer is looking at the mountain road with a telescope. In the past, surveying, mapping and measurement were extremely troublesome things, which consumed great manpower and took a long time.

To find a suitable road through the mountains, it is not only necessary to have an experienced guide, but also to adjust the means of construction.

However, after the small-scale use of hot air balloons began to be used in the Wuhan area, the problem of surveying and mapping planning has been solved. Although it is not once and for all, the overlook view can allow the construction party to quickly survey a preferred route, and the financial and material resources saved, in the past, were spent tens of thousands of yuan, and more than 50,000 yuan were levied from the people.

"Are the mines planted?"

"Buried!"

"Prepare to blast!"

"Blast ready!"

"Prepare to blast twice!"

"Blast ready!"

"Ignition!"

"Ignition!"

Bang bang......

From a distance, it looked like an earth dragon was advancing from underground. This is a section of the mountain with a mixture of earth and rock, and it had to be cleared in advance to prevent landslides and landslides. The most difficult section of the construction in the entire Ezhou area is also here, but because the output of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant has been greatly increased, the strength of the subgrade structure has been qualitatively improved.

In the model of the mountain road in Linzhang Mountain, the design index is to reach the point where three four-wheeled carriages can be passed, and the carriages are fully loaded.

In the entire construction team, the only people who really master the blasting technology and know what is going on are Zhang De's students and Jiangyin relatives.

Although the "fireworks" set off during the New Year's holidays have attracted many people's exploration, it is only the point, and people's attention has never been on the Jianghan Observation Why the Embassy was able to build roads so quickly.

Even if there are professionals to explore, but because every construction has to be cleared, so the external and internal caliber is the workers who work diligently.

"This road to Yuezhou, with this new road, it is more than five or ten times more than to transport grain."

"Yuezhou wants grain for the pond dam, and now the cement is in short supply, and the observation actually really agrees with the unreasonable troubles of the Yuezhou guys. I don't know what to think about the observation. ”

"The observation is to let Yuezhou be a granary."

When the staff talks about this, they will ponder the interaction between Wuhan and the surrounding cities. Zhang De has repeatedly emphasized that industry needs to be nurtured by agriculture, and the old-style bureaucrats may not be able to understand it, but the new-style bureaucrats who accept the new learning Wang Xue, most of them come from the grassroots, and even some of the staff, who may have been the masters of a certain county earlier, and have a great future, but for the sake of progress, they chose to observe the embassy in Jianghan as a clerk or even a clerk.

"This grass lake, if it can build water conservancy and dig canals, it can indeed increase the acres of land. For example, in Changsha, the yield per mu can reach three stones, and small households have 300 acres of land, and if they can build ponds and dams, the hills can increase their fields by three or four hundred acres, and the grain grown in these lands can be regarded as net profits. ”

The grain supply of Xintian can be escaped, but in fact, this kind of hilly land maintained by pond and dam irrigation can produce one and a half stones per mu in that year, which is already comparable to those middle fields in the north, and this is still the rice produced.

"The observer said that in the future, Wuhan will be stationed in Dingkou, and there will be 1.5 million people. At present, they have begun to buy rice from Poyang, Nanchang, Changsha, and Xiangyang, and they will enter it in the future. It's like Yangzhou, Zhenguan for 14 years, and still sells rice to Suzhou, now what? Ask Changzhou and Xuzhou to buy rice with Suzhou. It is true that there is no work and no wealth, but if the workers do not cultivate the land, the grain will come out of the land. ”

"One and a half million, I'm afraid it's not more than Chang'an Luoyang."

"Luoyang's current situation is more than 1.5 million?"

A staff member tugged at his fingers, "We can't just count the accounts as officials, how many times a year is the household registration book checked?" In addition to the Wuhan-like places in the world, it is only checked once in five years and ten years, and the household registration of the Tang Dynasty is not clear, which is not as good as the former Sui. It is said that the Zhenguan Dynasty increased Dingkou by 5 million, but this source is just that the Ministry of Civil Affairs checked the accounts of the deposed ambassadors of various provinces. Is it really five million, is it more or less, how many people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs can say clearly? ”

"As I have observed, checking the household registration is a big project, which is not easy to do, and it offends people."

"Who can you offend? It's nothing more than a big one. Cui's can be exiled, what are you afraid of? Sooner or later, the household registration will have to be re-checked. It's just that at the moment, if we go out to be an official and take charge of a county, how can we only focus on the books and accounts, and only focus on the people under the rule? What if ...... For example, in Xinnan City, Luoyang, there are hundreds of industries and industries, and there are countless workers, who are the feet of the car and ship shop, and now it is not as good as in previous years, and they are also paid for their work. If it is ordinary to go to the county, it will be stopped, but if it is such a boundary, how can you turn a blind eye? ”

"That's why it's called a mobile dingkou?"

"What is mobile, how can you flow by yourself if you are illiterate, it is not used as an animal, sold, and then it is 'flowing'. Those who can pass the ferry are either literate or knowledgeable. ”

"You don't care how it flows, even if the widow is sold, it's still flowing. Flow does not ask where it comes from. ”

As the bureaucrats were talking, they suddenly saw a convoy of horses coming in the distance, so they said: "Okay, the grain team from Yuezhou has arrived, and they are all ready to prepare, and they will turn around after receiving it." ”

"Do you want to eat fish in Jiangxia City at night?"

"Jiangxia's grilled fish is not as good as Hanyang's, I don't know if there is a boat at night, and if there is a boat, I will go back to Jiangbei to eat."

"I don't have a place to live in Jiangbei."

"Living in Brother Xiao's place, his mother-in-law went to Suzhou to get silk cloth, just to rest."

Laughing and laughing, he saw a group of grain heads from Yuezhou coming over, and saw the bureaucrats of the Jianghan Observation Embassy and the Wuhan Records Department, and hurriedly saluted and greeted.

Because Wuhan's demand for grain is increasing, relying on grain merchants alone to reconcile in the past is not enough to meet the current demand. Therefore, a large number of new granaries have been added in the Wuhan area, not only to meet the actual demand, but also to deal with the possible "food crisis".

Lao Zhang can't believe the grain merchants' temperament, and second, he can't believe the weather in the Yangtze River basin.

At this time, it is not uncommon for a flood to be replanted more than a thousand years later, and the yield of "duang" can be halved or turned into one-third.

Why is the Central Plains China? Because the grain yield in the Central Plains may not be the highest, but it is the most stable and suitable for cultivation.

"Changsha rice, on!"

"Green Grass Lake Sago, Middle-upper!"

Different rice, reporting different qualities, accompanied by the shouts of the inspectors, the registrars are constantly entering......
