Chapter Eighty-Five: Great Construction is a Great Plan

The experience of building wells and canals is accumulated over many years, and it takes a lot of data and experience to budget for earthwork, how many shafts to drill, and how wide the diversion canal is compared to the above-ground rivers and groundwater.

In the average artisan family, up to five generations, most of these techniques are lost, and then they return to the extremely primitive method of water storage. Of course, this way is very convenient and fast, just call the old and young brothers in the hometown, and run next door to grab water with knives, guns and sticks.

Before the first emperor ruled the world, there was a saying called "Yu Lie of Fen VI", who was as virtuous as Qin Xiangong and Qin Xiaogong, and could only watch the Qin people cut each other in order to grab water......

Why are the Qin people so able to fight? Maybe they are environmentalists who cherish water resources, so they can't see the Six Nations wasting anything.

"This Hetao well canal, it seems that there is a difference between Guanzhong and Longyou?"

Guo Xiaoke, who also has the title of Changshi, met with the "inspection group" from Chang'an and Hetao, and the old brother who led the team liked the grassland very much, and was a veteran who loved riding horses.

"I don't understand the truth here, but when I came to Dunhuang, there were many construction projects in Hetao, Hexi, and Chang'an, and I could send someone to ask about it."

"Well, anyway, the total is also a matter of the Governor's Office. Set the first time, and rest first. ”

"Thank you for the long history."

Su Lie took people to say goodbye, but instead of staying in the official house, he found a chic guest house, took the veterans from Mobei, and took a good bath.

"General, if we can come to the Western Regions, why can we stay in Dunhuang with a group of craftsmen?"

"You know very well, if it weren't for most of the protection, and there was Hongshen Gong to pull the strings, how could we be our turn. Are there any of us in the Western Regions who can ride horses? ”

After a few years of mixing under the old devil, Su Lie, who has a tendon, has also become a little more sleek. As a soldier and a fighter, it is nothing to be able to fight, and if you can fight, you can be promoted and make a fortune, this is the real ruthless character.

When I went to Chang'an before, I originally wanted to visit Li Jing, but Wei Gong, who cultivated immortals and gods and beasts at home all day long, actually didn't close the door at night......

Afraid of being told that he was going to rebel, this Nima is simply amazing.

Leading the army and leading the troops, mixed up to this kind of share, it's better to die, what more bicycles?

"The old man has reached the year of destiny, if it is like before, I am afraid that it will take ten or twenty years. How many decades are there in life? ”

Su Lie grabbed his hair by himself, then wrapped a rough knot, fastened the crown of his head, and inserted a copper rod at will, even if it was cleaned up.

"General, but when I see the Governor's Mansion in the south of the country, it seems that I want to stop the army and recuperate."

"It's not a fake to strike the army, and it's not a fake to rest, but do you think that there is no credit to be found?"

"Please also ask the general to clear his doubts."

Pushing the door out and looking left and right, Su Lie closed the door, and then said in a deep voice: "When the old man came to Dunhuang, Zou Guo sent the old man to tell the old man about the important things here. If calculated according to the imperial court, it is to imitate the means of building the Grand Canal in the former Sui Dynasty, and want to consume the people's power in the Western Regions. ”

"Isn't that a rebellion?"

"Someone rebelled, isn't it someone who wants to put down the rebellion?"

Su Dingfang only said what Zhang Gongjin explained to him, and these old brothers immediately understood the spirit. The doorway inside is very simple, the imperial court is simply planning to squeeze the Western Regions, and there is an invincible army on the side, and there is no fear of rebellion from the people of the Western Regions.

"In this way, this well and canal is not very difficult to repair."

"The craftsmen who came with them, many of them have a big river workshop, and it is said that it has something to do with the soil quality, and it has something to do with what is hot and cold, and the water is slow, in short, it is not simple."

"What do we want to do? When someone makes a rebellion, it is not the cavalry that will put down the chaos first. I came to the Western Regions to earn this credit. ”

"I heard that there is still a living, but I don't know how to make a living."

"Afraid? The general and the Jianghan observer have long had a relationship, so didn't Ashina Simo also rely on Zhang Jianghan to make a fortune? The so-called appearance is presentable, we have learned. ”

Speaking of which, someone asked Su Lie: "General, is the China Resources an industry of Zhang Jianghan?" ”

Su Dingfang scratched his head, and his tone was uncertain: "It's not easy to say, it's his to say that it's his, but there is no important evidence, if you don't say it's not, whoever stretches out his hand will be killed by the gang of people from the 'Zhongyi Society'." Thinking that Chai Shao's son, he cried all the way back to Chang'an from Luoyang, if it wasn't for the emperor's help, Chai Shao's little family background would not be enough to compensate. ”

"I think that since the Dahe Workshop said that we have a great future in the Western Regions, it must not be this military merit, and we don't have any private property, so what else do we have to mess with?"

"Wait a few more days, and there will be news."

Naturally, the news would not make Su Dingfang wait too long, and the news still came from Wuhan. Zhang De knew that Su Lie was a cavalry general, and now that the eldest grandson Chong had lost contact with the Western Regions, he had to have a powerful role in order to pick up his eldest cousin.

Of course, this is not what Lao Zhang means alone, and the "sincerity" that the eldest grandson Wuji took out for this is also quite impressive.

At the head of the big stall in Dunhuang, China Resources gave Su Lie a booklet, which described in detail Luoyang's ten-year operation of the Western Regions.

This news, ordinary people really can't get it, such as Guo Xiaoke, Qiao Shiwang and others, in Luoyang's view, they are just puppets like chess pieces, and there is no need to tell them too much.

On the one hand, the imperial court wanted to encourage production in Middle-earth, and on the other hand, it wanted to squeeze the people of the Western Regions, and at the same time prepare agriculture for the population explosion ten years later.

Even now, in the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, except for the core areas, such as the trade routes along the Hexi Corridor, most of the population is still at the level of semi-starvation.

Most of these areas have the attributes of lack of water, barren land, difficult transportation, and complex ethnic groups, and the power of the imperial court is simply impossible to look at county-level units like Guanluo, Huaiyang, and Suzhou and Hangzhou.

As for Wuhan, Zhang De can easily influence the appointment of officials in a town or township, even if it is three to five hundred years.

The unanimous will of the government and the people is to profit from the new land of the Western Regions. It can be done, and it's very good.

In the Tibetan region, such as Tubo and Dongnu kingdoms are either destroyed or collapsed, the new land of the Western Regions can quickly enter the Tianzhu countries through the Bolu Pass. The profits are quite amazing, especially a large number of Tianzhu gold, silver, jewelry, spices and even gray sugar, which have promoted the great prosperity of Dunhuang in recent years.

Today's Dunhuang is just a copy of the previous Liangzhou.

At present, the emperor regarded the Western Regions as the previous Guanluo, and the military power west of the Western Regions was the former Shandong Shi clan.

Unlike the Shandong Shi clan, which needed to worry about shaking the ruling foundation, the actual ruling class of the remnants of the Western Regions was not at all under pressure on the emperor.

If it was five years before Zhenguan, Emperor Li might still have to consider whether to use friendly means to reduce costs, maybe he would also seal a few little khans, or get a handful of detainers, hang a bunch of useless thorn histories and so on.

But now, the disparity in strength is so great that Emperor Li himself thinks it is amazing, and Zhenguan and famous ministers also think it is too special and incredible, and they all feel that they are far superior to Xiao He and Zhang Liang, otherwise they can't explain this unscientific phenomenon.

Knowing that the operation of the Western Regions was a matter of great concern, Su Dingfang suddenly had a plan, so he asked the help of the China Resources to let people publicize the matter of "Wuji Captain".

"General, Captain Wuji in the Han Dynasty, why do you want to preach like this?"

Su Dingfang's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "No, if you really rescue Changsun Chong, how can you seem to be such an extraordinary act?" ”
