Chapter Twenty-Three: Accumulation
With the "overwhelmed" of the "Hanyue Relaxation Road", the major project in Wuhan is indeed about to be launched, and it is not one or two, Zhang De led people to argue several times, and decided to stick the "Hanyue Relaxation Road" south of Luhu Lake and expand another embankment.
At this time, the south bank of the Yangtze River is a little different from later generations, it is almost attached to the "Hanyue Chi Road", and down the Lu Lake, it is a continuous and wide tidal flat, where a large number of reeds and mud swamps form a piece. However, after years of erosion, the river has gradually moved to the north, and after the siltation of sediment, it has gradually formed a sandbar with a large area.
And in the center of this sandbar is a waterway, and on the south side of the waterway is a vast body of water, shaped like an axe. Therefore, it is called "Axe Lake", but because it has opened into the river, it is also called "Axe Mouth".
The big project that Zhang De has to do this time is to directly enclose the sandbar with a dam, so that the "Axe Lake" is completely far away from the Yangtze River, and then the narrow waterway separated by the Yangtze River will connect the Lu Lake.
In fact, in the past few years, similar preliminary work has been done one after another, in the southwest of the "axe", two lakes have been enclosed one after another, and after dredging and leveling the ditch, more than 200,000 acres of land have been added, which belongs to the largest "farm land" in Wuhan. In the past few years, the grain purchased by the big households in Puqi County has been purchased from the "Cathu Farm".
And this cathu town is the southwest town of Wuhan to control Jiangxia lakes and swamps. Starting from the town of Cathu, the entire course of the embankment is to try to consolidate on the sandbar, first to the east and then to the northwest. This makes the section of the Yangtze River west of Luhu Lake, Ezhou has a prominent sandbar tidal flat, like a tongue, licking Jiangbei frantically......
None of the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River have the ability to launch such a huge and extremely difficult project, but Wuhan is the only one that has this qualification.
It's not just a technical problem, but the quantity and quality of the people that can be mobilized by the Wuhan side, which the outside world simply cannot understand.
According to the current rate of population import in Wuhan, it will swell to 2 million residents in less than ten years, which is an ironclad thing.
Of course, the registered population is still very nonsense, whether it is Hanyang or Jiangxia, it is still a county on the desk of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
can be called the "magic capital on the earth", and naturally it also has the scale of "capital".
Some foreign second ancestors who have quite a lot of family resources are now most willing to do one thing, which is "100,000 yuan around the waist, romantic Yunmengzhou", which is a place where people can fly up waves.
After several years of unremitting efforts, the sandbar and tidal flats near Luhu Lake in the lower reaches have finally become more and more fertile, and it is not a problem to increase the land of several hundred thousand mu by mobilizing the great power of nature.
Just if you want the land to be developed, you need time to deposition and manpower.
But for Wuhan, it is already possible to completely turn the "axe mouth" into an "axe lake".
The short-term goal of the Jianghan Observation Embassy is to expand the scale of the "Cathu Town" and build a market directly in the southern area of the sealed mouth of the Axe Lake, that is, close to the "Hanyue Chi Road".
And the size of this market, is a county.
In other words, the goal of Jianghan's observation of the embassy is to directly create a county, just because it has to go through the process of reporting to the imperial court and temporarily locate a "town".
In this way, the pressure of "Hanyue Chidao" can be greatly released, and the role of this "town" can not only adjust transit logistics and trade, but also play a role in saving population.
Rao is the entire Wuhan bureaucratic team has already predicted the future, and the planning is extremely advanced, but because of the particularity of the times and the unscrupulous plundering of the population, the expansion rate of the resident population has exceeded the speed of urban expansion and development.
If it weren't for the extremely strict management of the middle and lower classes in Wuhan, instead of the free-range management of "imperial power does not go to the countryside", the entire Wuhan area would have begun to blow itself up long ago in accordance with historical practice, and then plagued the entire Yangtze River.
One of the things that Zhang De is most fortunate about is that before he left for Chang'an, he began to cultivate non-mainstream talents, and after arriving in Chang'an, he began to dig into the corners of imperialism, and the focus has always been on digging two handfuls in the crotch of the imperial education right, and it has not been mixed into the strange power struggle at the top of the empire.
The style of the "Wuhan Department" bureaucracy or talent is so distinctive in this era, but today, Lao Zhang has reached the age of establishment, but he also dares to say that if it is a famous family, his "Wuhan Department" is the first in the world.
This is also something that cannot be helped, a large number of officials in the "Wuhan Department" have a talent pool for selection, and there is no door at all. The imperial court can still pick and choose from the "cold doors", but if Wuhan wants to expand to a metropolis with a population of one million, it is almost impossible to rely on groups with families.
Because most of the cases are self-cultivation and self-transfusion, this leads to the "Wuhan department" having to hold together, whether it is a group for warmth or a group fight, it is a last resort.
In the world outside Wuhan, there are only two ways to give them their ambitions, one is to have a good family background, and they are not afraid of not having a "confidant" to help them do it, and the other is to kneel and lick it comprehensively, only seeking an official and a half-job.
Lao Zhang has worked hard for 20 years to toss this lump of "rising channels", and "his own people" naturally can't see outsiders parachuting in to "pick fruits", and the situation of holding together is naturally deepening.
But in any case, the vitality of the entire Wuhan officialdom is still quite good, especially for large projects, although the phenomenon of "dog eats dog" occurs from time to time in various departments, it is rare to deliberately "pull back the legs". After all, many local positions in Wuhan are theoretically only regarded as "officials", and even just the "staff" of the observation envoys, and they do not directly get the official status from the imperial court.
Once you make a mistake, you don't need to go through the ministry at all, and after a little discussion in the house, the hook is the hook.
Although I don't know what kind of charter the high-level officials in the government have made, the actions on the market have made many people more excited.
"You actually want to levy a lot of people?"
"Even the workshop has to be sent out according to the proportion, this time it is levied in batches, and the first batch of people, foot strength, and large and small workers are actually 50,000 people!"
"50,000 ......"
"The division of the area has begun, each subcontractor has been subcontracted, the large, medium and small captains are ready to start the selection, the supervisor has been in place, and there are already a lot of houses and materials in the 'axe'."
"The quarry southeast of 'Axe' has opened up a big road, how much movement is this?"
Shangguan Tingzhi and Li Yuanxiang, who were interning with the "seniors", looked tired at the notice office, from shock to numbness to mechanical work, not even half a year.
In the past, as soon as Li Yuanxiang heard that he had mobilized 50,000 people, he would definitely be shocked. What is the concept of 50,000? This is still the first batch, eating, drinking, Lazar plus management, that is really not something that ordinary people can do.
But in fact, this is not the case in Wuhan, the management is different from the imperial court, not to mention that the "people's husbands" are often not people's husbands, and most of them do not have Wuhan hukou and are not registered population. And these people are far easier to manage than the people, as long as the lump sum area is divided, from the team leader, squadron leader to the team leader, they are all orderly and quite familiar with this set of processes.
Even though some people are paddling and fishing, overall, it is quite efficient and stable.
This is something that no other part of the imperial court can do in any way.
Li Yuanxiang's time in Wuhan was too short, and he couldn't imagine what Wuhan had experienced during the grassroots period, which would naturally develop to this point.
Rao has already started a mechanical work Nissan, but His Royal Highness King Jiang occasionally will be obscene, if these 50,000 people are mobilized, directly to Luoyang in the past, it is a vote, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to sweep Jianghuai Henan, right?
"Is this really going to be a 'town'?"
Jiang Wang Palace's early scale of the current project feels a little nowhere to comment.
