Chen Xin sat on the chair, holding his forehead, thinking carefully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the current situation, stability within one's own forces comes first.

The civil affairs department has been purged before, and it is likely that major surgery will be performed on the navy next.

This can basically be regarded as a Stalinist purge, and there will be many problems that will continue to emerge in the future, and there will be things that need to be handled carefully.

Therefore, we can no longer let there be greater fluctuations in the territory, and orderly production under a stable society is the cornerstone of our continuous victories in the past few years, and it is also the guarantee for the future elimination of Houjin, and there must be no problems.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin secretly made up his mind and said, "Then, I will give up the plan I set before for the expedition master.

There are also plans for war against the Dutch people in Batavia, which I will also put on hold for the time being.

In addition, I will plan to retire some of the military in the future, so that they can go to the military management committee to help stabilize social order. ”

"Your Excellency is wise."

"Don't be a sycophant, all plans will have to be revised now, and we will probably have to change the national defense policy of active offensive to active defense for a long time.

So, I would like to know, what are your next steps, how are you going to resettle so many refugees?

Or more specifically, how long will it take you to completely digest the displaced people and make them our help, not a burden? ”

"Your Majesty, we are ready to take advantage of the current opportunity of extremely abundant human resources to carry out large-scale transformation of the newly occupied area.

First of all, it is necessary to block the estuaries of the rivers and lakes in the newly occupied areas. ”

Chen Xin really didn't expect that the other party would have such a plan, and couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's like this, the area before belonged to Korea, and now the aborigines there have long been killed by the Tartars, and that vast area is almost no man's land.

In those places, although there are many rivers and lakes, most of them cannot be navigated by boats carrying more than 10 people.

In addition, during the rainy season, most of the water flows into the sea in vain and is wasted.

In addition, because the local government did not pay much attention to water conservancy facilities in the past, and the hills and rivers in this area were longitudinal, it was difficult to water the fields, and most of the land was dry land.

In the dry season, because of the lack of water, the harvest of the fields is very poor, and the people do not have enough to eat every year.

After investigation, the Military Management Commission believes that growing food crops on such fields is not only a waste of human resources, but also very likely to be unable to achieve self-sufficiency.

We believe that the root cause of all this is water shortage, and the most important thing for that place to develop is to vigorously develop and utilize water resources. ”

Chen Xin listened carefully to the other party's introduction, and his eyes kept scanning a map spread out on the table, as if he was imagining the scene after the mouth of the sea was blocked in his mind.

"In the past, neither the Kingdom of Korea nor South Korea used this method because of the large population or some other reason.

However, in the past six months, the tug-of-war between our army and the Houjin side has provided us with an opportunity.

There is almost no population in that area now.

At our current rate of migration, even another 10 years of great migration will not be able to fill that area.

Instead of putting so many of the farmer's dry fields there in vain, it is better to carry out a major transformation of the land, and it is very likely that more dry fields will be converted into paddy fields. ”

Chen Xin was very interested in this plan, nodded, and motioned for the other party to continue.

"So, we're going to close all the estuaries of the newly occupied rivers.

Then there is a plan to use the hilly and mountainous terrain that crisscrosses the open land, supplemented by some artificial transformation, to turn that area into a water town.

In this way, not only can the area of paddy fields be expanded. Moreover, after the end of the water storage, the abundant water resources can be used to vigorously develop the development mode of land recycling such as forestry, fishery, and animal husbandry.

Moreover, as the dam is built bigger and higher, we can connect several large rivers in the inland area through careful planning and transformation, greatly improving the transportation conditions between inland parts and strengthening local control. ”

Chen Xin was almost stunned by the CMC's plan.

Because the distance between the big rivers and rivers in these newly occupied areas on the map is not short, the Military Management Commission actually wants to open up all the inland shipping channels?

Suddenly, Chen Xin remembered the Grand Canal, although now all his jurisdictions are not the size of a province in Daming, and it is impossible to achieve a project as huge as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

However, even if there is only one percent of the construction volume, it is impossible for one's own population to support it.

Although Chen Xin was very tempted by the plan of the Military Management Commission, a voice kept coming out of his head, "Promise him, promise him." ”

However, from the brain hole of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Chen Xin thought of the fate of Emperor Yang of Sui.

As an important part of China's Grand Canal, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal built during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty has been highlighted in many textbooks in later generations.

Chen Xinji knows very well that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the starting point at the northern end is Beijing, and the south reaches as far as Hangzhou.

Along the way, it flows through six provinces or cities of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei, Tianjin and Beijing, with a total length of more than 1,700 kilometers.

There is another data that is easier to remember, that is, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is ten times longer than the Suez Canal and 20 times longer than the Panama Canal, is the longest artificially dug canal in the world.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has played a huge role in the economic and cultural development and exchanges between the north and south of China, especially the development of the industrial and agricultural economy along the route.

In the Yuan Dynasty, it became a water transportation artery connecting the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, running through the north and south.

The Ming and Qing dynasties maintained the foundation of the Yuan Canal, and the Ming Dynasty re-dredged the river section in Shandong that had been silted up at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, from the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, between Weishan Lake and Qingjiangpu in Shandong, the canal projects such as the Kailukou Canal, the Tongji New River, and the Zhonghe River were carried out in the middle of the Yellow River, and the Yuehe River was excavated between the Jianghuai River and carried out the project of separating the lake and the river.

As the main traffic artery between the north and the south, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has played a huge role in history.

The opening of the canal has promoted the rapid development of coastal cities.

Although the excavation of the Grand Canal has a lot of benefits, Chen Xin does not dare to forget the fate of Emperor Yang of Sui repairing the canal.

The arduous project of digging the canal was a disaster for the working people.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty forcibly requisitioned millions of migrant workers to build the canal, which seriously damaged production and caused thousands of migrant workers to die tragically on the canal construction site.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent cool officials to take charge of repairing the river, forcing all Ding men over the age of 15 to serve, and a total of 3.6 million people were levied.

At the same time, one person from five families, whether old, young, or female, was assigned to provide food and cooking for migrant workers.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also sent 50,000 biao-shaped men, each with a cane, as a supervisor to supervise the labor of migrant workers.

Because the labor burden is very heavy and the supervision of the supervisors is too urgent, in less than a year, 2.5 million of the 3.6 million migrant workers died.

In the end, the great uprising that swept the whole country, and the years of chaos that followed, are all lessons learned.

The past does not forget the teacher of the future, Chen Xin is not willing to repeat the mistakes of the past.
