February 8, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

Li Dongwen rushed to Tongcheng.

Although the beginning of spring has passed, the copper city outside the Saiwai is still icy and snowy, and there is no trace of spring.

Qin Weimin and Jiang Haibo, both of whom were brought from Tongyuan at the beginning, later served as the captain, and now they have been transferred by Wang Jun to preside over the work of the Tongcheng side, which can be regarded as entering the sequence of "feudal officials" in the peach blossom system, which is a kind of promotion.

Qin Weimin and Jiang Haibo are also demobilized soldiers, and Wang Shujun and Wang Jun are barely comrades-in-arms, although the time of joining the army and the time of demobilization are different, and they are not in the same army, but they have both served as soldiers, and they are both soldiers of the expedition, and they are also comrades-in-arms.

Expanding the territory is certainly not a simple matter. Fortunately, the two of them still have some experience, and in Liangzhou, they started from a 10-person team and developed into a 10,000-person team, which is the most effective experience.

The current headquarters is located in Tongcheng District, because Hongshui County is farther away from the mining area, and Tongcheng District is the nearest frontier. Qin Weimin and Jiang Haibo planned to move their headquarters forward to the township after the snow melted, and even set up it in the mining area to fight side by side with everyone.

When Li Dongwen arrived in Tongcheng District, Qin Weimin and Jiang Haibo had already led five squad leaders and a cadre of financial and administrative logistics support personnel to greet them.

Well, the spirit is not bad.

The mining area contracted by Peach Blossom Fairy has been covered by heavy snow since it was bombed at the end of last year, and it has not been surveyed yet, so I don't know what it has become, and there is no way to talk about detailed planning.

Qin Weimin and Jiang Haibo basically follow the idea of developing Liangzhou, planning to build roads first, then plant grass, then plant trees, and if there is a suitable place, plant some vegetables or other cash crops.

Li Dongwen first affirmed their ideas, and then asked them to pay close attention to recruitment, organize the team, and be ready to start work at any time.

Li Dongwen is back, this heavy snow, of course, can no longer cover the earth like this, and it should melt.

Early spring February.

In the past few days, the people of Tongcheng obviously felt that the temperature began to rise sharply, the ice and snow covered the land for a winter, and obviously began to recover, the ice and snow melted, and the melting snow not only penetrated into the earth, but also formed a trickle, and finally converged into a rushing river, flowing eastward.

The sudden appearance of the river can find a way out, and after filling the original dry valley, it will go all the way down until it joins the Hongshui River, a tributary of the Yellow River.

Water is impermanent. There was some destructiveness, with several small bridges washed away and submerged, and the banks of the valley that used to dry up were now largely cut off by land.

Shangquan Township and Xiaquan Township were thus in turmoil. This year's spring flood came too early and too suddenly, which caught everyone off guard. In the spring of previous years, it was all about fighting drought, but this year it was changed to flood control? Fortunately, drought and flood control are all the same departments, so it is an unshirkable responsibility. When this happens, I can't blame others, and it seems that I can only complain about last year's snow, which fell too much.

The emergence of this river has directly stimulated the economic development of Shangquan Township and Xiaquan Township. The small bridge that was washed out needs to be rebuilt, but now that the river is flowing, the small bridge obviously needs to be built.

To build the bridge, the township obviously has no financial budget, and must turn to the county for help. When Yue Dalong, the head of Shangquan Township, and Lu Dalin, the head of Xiaquan Township, found Ding Changhe, the head of Hongshui County, together, the county magistrate Ding also expressed great difficulty.

"This is a natural disaster that has not been encountered in a century, and we still have to overcome it and focus on emergency rescue and disaster relief. If this river dries up after a while, there is no need to close the bridge, first build a pontoon bridge, connect the two banks, and ensure pedestrian passage first. ”

This creek has dried up since the mine was opened decades ago, and the little water it has is not enough for the mine, so where will it drain downstream? Last year, the mine was suddenly blown up and a heavy snowfall caught up with the stream.

Many young people in the town do not know that this was once a small river, because they have never seen a continuous flow of water here since they were born, and only when it rains heavily, there are only a few days of water accumulation.

The few old people still remember the situation in the past, the rolling green hills in the distance, the stream in front of the door around the village, the green water and green mountains in the past. Now Qingshan has been blown up twice before and after, and it has been dug up for decades, and I don't know what it has become, but this green water is back now, but I don't know if it was a flash in the pan, and it soon dried up again.

Yue Dalong and Lu Dalin, the two township chiefs, also had no idea how long the river could flow, so they didn't have much hope for the construction of the bridge, but just wanted to take the opportunity to complain and get some benefits from the county. But the county magistrate is obviously more shrewd than the two of them, and let the township deal with it with the pontoon bridge first, and talk about it later.

However, the Peach Blossom Fairy Company did not deal with it so temporarily, and after the snow melted, the first advance team drove along the stream and into the mountains on foot.

Entering the mountains, everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them!

Standing on a high slope, the view is too wide to block the view of the mountains are all gone, and although the ground is still occasionally undulating, it is already very gentle. The original ditches and ditches, potholes and holes, all of them are gone, and they are almost a flat river!

Qin Weimin grabbed a handful of black soil on the ground, found that the soil was very moist and delicate, and dug down with a shovel, and found that the soil layer was very deep, digging more than two feet deep, it was still soil, and the stone had not yet been dug up.

This can be planted directly, and as far as the eye can see, it is a thousand pours of fertile land!

Following the river, all the way up, five tributaries were found, and the five mountain streams continued to converge into four, three, two, and converged into one at the edge of the mining area, and then rushed towards the small gallop.

The water was crystal clear, with no sign of turbidity, as if it had been flowing for thousands of years.

Li Dongwen was secretly refreshed in his heart, do you think that your buddy's "thousands of years" technique was in vain? This land is equivalent to tens of thousands of years of natural sedimentation, tens of thousands of years of weathering, and tens of thousands of years of recuperation.

After the expedition team entered the mountain, it was divided into five teams according to the stream, and they went around the entire mining area until the evening. The expedition team assembled at the foot of the mountain and drove back to the headquarters overnight.

Early the next morning, instead of rushing into the mountain, everyone held a working meeting. Qin Weimin felt that the first task was to redraw the map, the topography of this area has completely changed, and a radius of more than 20 kilometers must be re-surveyed. A detailed survey is impossible, it is too much time to waste, and a survey is probably enough.

Road construction can be carried out at the same time, and in some places even bridges are built. Transportation is indispensable for the development of this place.

Jiang Haibo proposed that the general headquarters be moved forward, to a place that could be reached by car, set up camp at the foot of the mountain, set up tents and simple houses, and then all the work was carried out at the same time. Jiang Haibo's division of labor is responsible for logistics support, and he feels that this is more efficient.

"I'm afraid the power supply of our Hongshui Farm is a bit troublesome. Jiang Haibo looked at Li Dongwen and said suddenly.
