(TXT ) (TXT ) (TXT) Wang Yongqin's men and horses, all the way slowly spent a day out of Jinghai into the territory of Qingxian, Li Dacheng felt that the world was a little different, because there were pedestrians sporadically on the road, and there was life between the world and the world. (TXT )

From Gyeongshi to Jinghae, apart from the sporadic pedestrians you can encounter around Gyeongshi, out of the Gyeonggi area, the land in the snow is dead and silent, and even the birds are not easy to see.

Caoyun will be temporarily rested in winter, in the past, every time in winter, the Jingu area should be lively, but after a bloody battle, the Jingu area has almost become a ghost, seeing the popularity of Qingxian County, thinking of the dead silence along the way, Li Dacheng's heart is also somewhat unhappy.

Standing on the edge of the stable, Li Dacheng looked at the starry sky, no one knew what he was thinking?

"Second master, it's late, it's time to rest!"

In addition to taking care of Second Master Li's daily life according to Gui Beile's instructions, he also has to arrange the tasks assigned by Second Master Li to the Yamen officials headed by Zhou Frame one by one.

For the current situation, Wang Yongqin is not only not resentful, but very motivated, which shows that Bei Leye attaches importance to him, sitting on a cold bench in the idle yamen, he has sat enough, if Li Erye can really promote the repair of the river, he Wang Yongqin also wants to be famous in history, so, for Li Erye, he is sincerely grateful and respectful.

"Yongqin, I'm on the road today, I'm thinking about a question, how long do you think it will take to build a new canal?"

The Grand Canal stretches from south to north, about 1,500 kilometers, and there are at least more than 1,000 kilometers of river to be repaired, excluding the Jiangsu section with abundant water and wide river channels. Let the future river channel be able to pass the whole process of 500 tons of barges, although the difficulty of the project is not small, but the amount of work is larger, with the current engineering technology, such a large project. If you don't get it right, it's a ten-year, or even a decades-long project.

The renovation of the pass of the Grand Canal in Shandong, coupled with the renovation of the Yellow River, will make the project even larger, and if the Grand Canal is not navigable for ten or eight years, even if it is completed later. It won't have much effect on him Li Dacheng.

"If the water quantity problem can be solved, it will take at least five years to excavate the river channel and build a new embankment!"

Through a summary of the canal in the Zhili section, Zhou Frame also roughly came to a conclusion that he wanted to follow Li Erye's standards. The time to repair the canal can be calculated at least five years.

"It's too long!"

"Second master, it's so troublesome to repair the river, one or two years is not enough time!"

"Two years is too long, it's better to finish it in a year or half a year!"

"This ......"

This is a joke! Wang Yongqin naturally didn't dare to say this, the Grand Canal, which is nearly 3,000 miles, let alone repaired, is to walk down on foot. It will take a month or two, a year or half a year, to build a 500-ton barge. And most of the river is the Grand Canal reinforced with stone embankments, so it's not such a good thing to dream of!

"What's the difficulty? Manpower? ”

Wang Yongqin has a problem, this is a good thing, it is good to have a problem solved, I am afraid that there is no problem, a year or half a year. Li Dacheng also felt a little harsh, but the current situation is not waiting for me!

Li Dacheng couldn't wait for it. When you wake up, the Grand Canal is navigable. Wars, seizure of power are secondary, the economy is the most important, with a grand canal to temporarily pull the economy of the north, settle the people in the disaster, the people are stable The situation will be stable, the situation will be stable, business can develop, this cycle, once there is a node wrong, the result is the collapse of the entire business environment, there is no business, there is no money circulation, there is no silver money circulation, the situation is still a pool of stagnant water, the situation has really become a pool of stagnant water, and it is difficult for the gods to stir up the situation.

"Second master, you should know this, we don't lack manpower, along the canal, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Zhili have more than 10 million strong men? Even if there are not enough strong men in these three provinces, we can still send strong men in Anhui, Henan and even Shaanxi.

To repair the canal, manpower is not a problem, the key is that the river can not be repaired overnight, and all sections of the river must be measured one by one before they can be repaired, and the repairs are carried out one by one. ”

For repairing the river, Wang Yongqin is not a layman, repairing the river is not another job, a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, the flood is fiercer than the tiger, once the river is repaired, the overall plan is out of the fork, whether it is the Haihe River bursting, or the Yellow River bursting, the impact is not a state and a government, the Yellow River flooded in history, Sulu and Yu will suffer, the Haihe River floods and Luyu suffers, no one can afford such a responsibility.

"Paragraph by paragraph?

Can't you get the whole paragraph together? ”

Li Dacheng listened not to the embarrassment in Wang Yongqin's words, but the method, tens of millions of strong men to construct the whole section, as soon as this idea came out, Li Dacheng also felt wonderful.

Tens of millions of strong men, not to mention tens of millions, is millions of strong men, can also stimulate the economic development of several provinces, to repair the river to give money, with money has to spend, spending money can promote the development of commerce, commercial development will also have a large amount of money circulation, the interests in this, with a hair and move the whole body to describe the most appropriate, this method must be good.

"All together?

Second master, you can try to plan this matter, but I am afraid that the court will not allow so many river workers to gather at once! ”

The whole section of the river, this thing has been done since ancient times, the speed is fast, but there is also a big problem, the Yuan Dynasty is because of the problem of the Yellow River River, which led to the rebellion in the world, such a reason for opposition, the Qing Dynasty is afraid that many people can say it when they open their mouths.

"The affairs of the imperial court are handled by Lord Belle, you don't need to worry about this, is there any technical problem with the river repair?"

The imperial court is a pass, but it is easy to step on the past, the current Qing Dynasty, but not the Qing court has the final say, there are foreign devils next to it, if the foreign devils are strongly persecuted, and only a full section of the river is repaired, it is not a problem at all, can foreign devils make a move? This is even simpler, the technology of renovating the Grand Canal, Li Da wants to use foreign devils to come out, the funds and technology are all from foreign devils, and under the entanglement of interests, foreign devils can't help but not speak.

"Yes! We can't build a lock for a 500-ton barge, how to divert the water of the Yellow River into the canal, and prevent the sediment of the Yellow River from silting up the canal. These are the two biggest problems, and the rest of the problems should be solved. ”

Hearing these two questions, Li Dacheng smiled, lock. As for the sediment of the Yellow River, Li Dacheng can say that the last problem to be solved is to dig a reservoir or lake dedicated to sediment sediment at the intersection of the Yellow River and the canal and the water diversion point, as for how to plan and build. It's not something he's supposed to be concerned about.

"These two problems can be solved, and I already have a plan in my heart!

You send a message to Lord Belle and ask him to invite the foreign devils who are interested in participating in the renovation of the canal to ......

Yongqin, where do you say they are waiting for us? ”

The renovation of the Grand Canal is no longer a matter of the Qing Dynasty. It is a matter of the world, gathering the wisdom of the world and the manpower of the Qing Dynasty to renovate the Grand Canal and the Yellow River, which is also a grand event.

No one has no technology, this problem is simpler, put a ring, headhunters, and renovate the Grand Canal and the Yellow River. The benefits are endless, and in addition to the benefits, there is also a great reputation waiting for capable people around the world. With fame and fortune, why worry about no one and no technology?

The next thing to do is to hunt the world's elites one by one......

"There are foreign devils involved......

Second master, how is Cangzhou Mansion?

Cangzhou Mansion can be connected to the sea in the east, connecting the Haihe River on the top and the Yellow River on the bottom, and the Grand Canal crosses. How about the location in Cangzhou Prefecture? ”

The location chosen by Wang Yongqin is also in line with Li Dacheng's wishes. Cangzhou is a martial arts nest, and he originally wanted to recruit a group of boxers in Cangzhou Mansion. Now that the canal project has been added, the headhunting thing can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

"Good! That's great!

Yongqin, what kind of things do you need to use in repairing the river? ”

With manpower, engineering and technical personnel are about to be available, the river repair project will enter the real preparatory period, weapons are needed to fight a war, and the same is true for dry projects.

"Our side is nothing more than shovels, shovels, carts, baskets, hemp ropes, flat poles, cattle and horses, and dredgers of foreign devils, we don't use them much, whether we can use them or not."

Repairing the river, at this time, it is all manpower, pure crowd tactics, Wang Yongqin said shovels, shovels, cars, baskets, hemp ropes, and flat poles, Li Dacheng's eyes lit up again, isn't this a ready-made business?

After the Boxer Rebellion, the people's livelihood withered, without the Boxers, the people's livelihood in the Qing Dynasty also withered, shovels, carts, baskets, hemp ropes, flat shoulders, these things, the people themselves can almost do it, temporarily alleviate the people's livelihood, this statement is also timely.

"Make a drawing of these tools and I'll take a look."

"Second master, what are you talking about?"

"Shovels, shovels, carts, baskets, these things."

"Second master, how can there be any drawings for this, they are all brought by the strong men, or made by the blacksmith on the spot."

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, if you don't have it, you can paint, cows, horses and animals, you don't think about it, mainly manpower, and the wheelbarrow should be designed!

The railways and rails of foreign devils should also be referred to, the amount of earthwork excavated is too large, and it is not enough to point to the wheelbarrow!

So be it! When you arrive at Cangzhou Mansion, you let the state capitals along the river send out a notice to recruit talents, these two days, you let Zhou Frame plan first, and what is missing is explained in the notice, the people of the world participate in the grand event, how can it not be done? ”

As he spoke, Li Dacheng couldn't help laughing, headhunting in Cangzhou Mansion, this idea is simply wonderful, a river repair project, there are too many things used.

At the beginning of the renovation of the Grand Canal, Li Dacheng planned to exchange international funds and technology.

Whether it is engineering or industry, the renovation of the Grand Canal can involve many fields, the canal project is too big, some industries have to build factories along the canal, technical personnel are ready-made, the funds are abundant, as long as the plan is taken, the construction can start immediately.

"The second master is clever, how to write the letter to Lord Baylor?"

"Is this it? A request to the Queen Mother to tell the benefits of the river repair project; Second, let the foreign devils send engineers to participate in the initial planning; Third, within the whole country, recruit talents and participate in the grand event; Fourth, and the most important point, pulling Li Hongzhang and others into the game, there was a matter of the medical government before, and it was easier to pull people, and clearly told Lord Belle that the matter of repairing the river must not be our family involved! ”

Before and after the incident, Li Dacheng's heart was much happier, with this vigorous river repair, how much can gather people's hearts, as for whether it can attract popularity for the Qing court, this Li Dacheng is also very sure, no!

It is certainly possible in the early stage, but the Qing court has become accustomed to eating the people, and when a large amount of silver money is sent down as wages, what will the officials of the Qing court do? After the project began, the Qing court's collection of taxes along the canal became a foregone conclusion.

This will only make the Qing court lose the hearts of the people again, as far as the river is repaired and the Qing Dynasty, the benefits are not small, but the people of the Qing Dynasty can't do good things, they can also do bad things, and they want them to be high-spirited and bright, for the sake of the people, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
