Chapter 834: The River
When building a village for the savages, Qian Rujun also helped to do a lot of Zhen construction, and the construction of the water Zhen can eliminate the problem of flooding, and can also allow the farmland to have more water for irrigation, in this case, they can harvest several times more, of course, this is very related to the establishment of Qian Rujun's waterwheel.
The sheer number of things adds up to make the place where the Savage Village is located a great place.
Qian Rujun also helped the waterwheel to leave a lot of room for irrigation, so that people in their vicinity could learn to build the waterwheel and sort out the water from the river next to it to become a source of irrigation.
There are a lot of sufferings in the world of the Han Dynasty, and there is no kind of suffering that Qian Rujun can solve alone.
If you want to solve a lot of suffering, with Qian Rujun's ability, you may be able to solve some of it, but some suffering is relative, and if you solve the same problem, it will lead to another.
It is very difficult to make people suffer in this world, but if they can live in a more satisfying situation, some difficulties will not endanger their lives, and they will not be miserable to live.
For most people, it's a very happy world.
So Qian Rujun thought, how to make the people in this place happier In fact, at this time, maybe Qian Rujun's imagination of happiness is very different from others, in fact, in this era, if you want to make most people happy, as long as they have food, basically many people will feel very happy.
Qian Rujun thought, if when she crossed over, her parents were people who had enough food, would she still throw her daughter into the water? Even if her daughter looked more malnourished and not as good-looking as her brother, would she not do such a thing to her because she was at least born to them, in them, Qian Rujun very much understood what is called patriarchy, if it weren't for this, Qian Rujun would not want to leave that family, but to fight with them.
Because for the middle patriarchy, the daughter has basically become a subordinate existence. In their eyes, they no longer regard their daughter as a person.
Continuation, what is continuation, only real men can?
After a few years, Qian Rujun realized that she seemed to be back to square one, in fact, to make the people of Dahan happy, the easiest thing is to let the ordinary people of Dahan have better farming techniques and better water sources, instead of waiting for the government to do this most of the time.
Because most of the money for the government to do these things is also obtained from the gentry, so all their construction must be beneficial to the gentry, and by the way, it can be beneficial to these ordinary people, but in this case, in fact, it is easier to cause the gap between the rich and the poor to be constantly widened.
It's not that the gap between the rich and the poor in this place is too different from other places, or that among the people in this place, the rich will become richer, and the people without money may also become a little richer, but this gap is still widening, and Qian Rujun is thinking about how to make construction more useful to the common people.
But Qian Rujun regretted to find that we have no way to exclude the rich when doing all the construction, because in fact, most of the rich people's fields are also in the middle of the common people, as long as the benefits are given to the common people, the rich must be benefited, of course, this is why the rich people also get benefits when they are making benefits for themselves.
In any case, the gap between the rich and the poor is very equal to the flood, so Qian Rujun should not make any difference between anyone when controlling the flood.
And after the water is cured, it must also be spread evenly throughout the land, benefiting everyone equally.
Otherwise, the rich man will look at the poor man's words and the land of water, and try to take the poor man's water to himself, and drive the poor away, and as for his original field, he will not be able to give the poor to work because of this, unless the poor man is their tenant farmer.
In other words, the change of Qian Rujun's return will make the rich have a new sense of temperament, and once the rich have a new ambition, it is likely to destroy the world again.
So Qian Rujun decided to let go of everything, before Jinmai City only did such a thing to the people in the jurisdiction of Jinmai City, if more people get benefits, when life begins to get better, in fact, people's sense of identity with Dahan will be better.
Corrupt officials will be relatively reduced, because when people become rich, people will begin to notice how excessive the behavior of these corrupt officials is, and the reason why corrupt officials are greedy is because if they are not greedy, there is no way to live, because if they are not greedy, they will not even be paid, so at the beginning, most people are greedy because they are poor.
But there is a part of the people, when he is not poor, he will give up coveting such things, but really start, and spend part of his energy on taking care of the people.
However, Qian Rujun did not want to use his personal strength to help people with such a large piece of land now.
Because she knew that no matter what she did, it would be slow.
She is now a planner, how can she let the people under her rule go out to help the people of such a large land.
If she can use more people, then the faster this bad land will change, and the sooner Qian Rujun's wish will be fulfilled.
When Qian Rujun achieves these wishes, maybe she will be able to disappear from this land with peace of mind, and she will not miss them in her heart, Qian Rujun only feels that she is very hypocritical, but there is no way to explain why Qian Rujun cares about the people of the Han Dynasty.
Maybe this is also her task after crossing over, God let her earn so much money, not to let her live a rich and chic life, but to let him have more spare money to use on others.
In fact, Qian Rujun does have a way to continue to make more money, but Dahan's money is actually so much, when more production cannot be delivered to others, it is basically a waste.
But why is there no way to get food into someone else's hands?
Qian Rujun knows very clearly that this is because the traffic wants to manage this land well, in fact, there are a lot of things that need to be done, the floods need to be cured, the traffic needs to be done well, and the people need to be given better tools, and if these things are done, no matter how the officials at the top are corrupt, the people will have something to eat, even if they are tenant farmers, as long as the rich people above are not too exploitative, they can live.
Of course, if the rich do not exploit.
Basically, they can be said to be good people, but most of the rich people actually grow up by exploiting others.
Everything must be done step by step, sometimes everything is done together, it is easy to cause waste, do it on the demolition, dismantle and do, is not an efficient method, in this land, the most important thing to do, is to control the flood.
While the flood is well controlled, we will be able to be of greater help to the people, and only then can this kind of life be truly improved.
As for the floods, after the flood is treated, what Qian Rujun has to do is to improve the transportation.
It is not necessary to connect to Jinmai City, but to the largest city nearby, the city becomes bigger, and the number of people will naturally increase, but now there is one of the biggest problems is that the Han Dynasty is relatively strict about population control, and does not allow the population to move around, and believes that most of the population does not have to go to the city to engage in the behavior of merchants, but must work hard in the countryside.
It's just that since each person has to cultivate a relatively large amount of land, the settlement where most of these people gather will not be too large, and in the case of a settlement that is not too large, it will be very difficult to develop a commercial economy and form a scale.
However, in order to allow the material circulation of a place, in fact, the scale of commerce cannot be less.
Things here are sent out, and things from other places can be sent in, and the most valuable things are produced.
It should be said that the things suitable for production in each place are different, and if each place can produce specialized, it can greatly increase the production capacity of the land.
On the contrary, everything is produced in every place, and everything can be eaten, but in the end, the production of each piece of land is very small, which forms a waste of land productivity.
It's very easy to treat water in your mouth, but when you actually start to treat it, you will find that water never listens to you.
In order to move the water eastward, the whole process must be through all kinds of imagination, and through all kinds of human inputs, and these human inputs are life-threatening.
So when many people have to risk their lives to move the water, there is a lot of controversy, because many people think that life in this world is the most precious.
But for the emperor, life is actually very precious, and it cannot be lost casually, because there is enough life to be able to produce more things for the emperor to use, so the emperor knows very well that only with enough people can she have such a big country and power, and there are people who can help him fight wars, and only people can help him plow the land, and only then can someone help him manage the country.
All of this cannot be separated from the existence of people, so the emperor attaches great importance to people.
It's just that there are always some people who sabotage other people's production, so the emperor has to find a way to let these people go to another place to use their expertise.
It's just that in such a place, sometimes if you want to move people there, it will cause some difficulties, and in short, it depends on people to control the water.
Because in this era, there is no professional machinery to control the water, and it will be very difficult to make the water flow safe and stable, so Qian Rujun must study the water flow in each place before controlling the water, and let the students of Xuetang Island plan the possible flow direction, safe flow direction, and create a relatively stable production method, from simple to difficult, in fact, if from simple to difficult, maybe the final difficulty will not be broken.
The last difficulty may have to be broken through by the era of more advanced science and technology, but if it is from difficult to simple, it may be that all the water will be treated, and then people will have too much open space, but there is a problem that the time it takes is actually very long, and the speed of people's production, it should be said that the speed of people's fertility is not so fast, so there is still no one to cultivate the land in this place.
Under such circumstances, Qian Rujun had to set his land in places where there were no people at all, but the cultivated land, and the basic cultivation methods, were to distribute the land, and to prohibit the initial buying and selling, and they had to wait until they had cultivated it for decades before they were allowed to buy or sell.
In such a situation, the land will not be occupied by the rich for the first time, and ordinary people can quickly get rich, if such land has not yet made him rich, then even if such land is annexed by the people next to him, there is no way to blame others for not letting him survive, the growth of the rich will appear in any era, and it cannot be stopped at all, and some people will always sell the land, because they are poor, because they want to earn some other money, it is possible.
From Jiang Wan'er's report, Qian Rujun should have known that in fact, if the transportation facilities were built before the land was properly managed, then these transportation facilities were very important and could be destroyed immediately.
Qian Rujun knew that she wanted to control the water, and the ability to fly could better observe the flow of water and make better plans for the water conservancy plan.
Qian Rujun began to draw and draw maps, which was originally an act that Qian Rujun was good at.
Of course, Qian Rujun's map is not a detailed map, but a simple flow direction of large and small rivers, and there are some elevation differences, and Qian Rujun must hand over more detailed work to the students of Xuetang Island in the future.
Divide into categories, start to make detailed maps, and do hydrological planning, to control the water, not to dig up the river at the first time.
For the river, in the process of flowing, it will bring sediment accumulation, and when the sediment accumulates to a high level, it will begin to flood, and after the flooding, he may find that there is a lower place to go elsewhere, and the diversion will occur.
If the river comes back, in most cases, the river thinks he is very satisfied with the river and does not want to move it for the time being.
Therefore, if you want the river not to swing, you have to find a way to build an embankment.
However, after the embankment is built, it is necessary to prevent the long-term accumulation of sediment in the river, and it is necessary to continuously dig up the sand.
Another way is to let the river swim from one river to another every once in a while, and start digging the sand hard, and then when the time is almost up, the river will be dug back again, so the old river will start digging sand again, and these sands are actually precious soil supplies.
