"Prime Minister, is it worth building such a huge reservoir?" After looking at the design drawings and planning drawings, He Chou couldn't help but ask.

He Chou already knew that the labor recruited by Zou Yu was all paid labor, so he asked like this, after all, there were no more than 100,000 people, and it would definitely not be able to be repaired.

"It's definitely worth it! The construction of this reservoir will make it much easier for the people to irrigate the land of Yizhou in the future; And I'm no longer afraid of a big drought! Even if it is a rare occurrence in a hundred years, it can ensure that the people have water to drink and a certain grain harvest.

Such a meritorious thing in the present and beneficial in the future, do you say it is worth it? Zou Yu asked solemnly.

"The prime minister is wise! Xia Guan is willing to be a craftsman and build a reservoir for the people! He Chou nodded admiringly, and said without hesitation.

"Haha! Hurry up and get free! With the help of He Shaofu, a certain fortunate thing! Great luck for the people! Zou Yu smiled happily and helped He Chou up.

"The prime minister has won the award!" He Chou smiled modestly.

Zou Yu was very happy to get He Chou to join, as for the five hundred soldiers who Dou Jiande arranged to escort, they saw the life of the people in Yizhou, where did they have a reason to go back.

However, Zou Yu asked people to tell them to go back and bring other people over with them, and at the same time, those who have family members also bring their families over.

Seducing the people in other places, this thing has not stopped, Guanzhong Li Yuan blockade is relatively tight, but this is also difficult to people, Zou Yu dispatched a small number of soldiers, pretending to be fishermen, crossed from the Yellow River, and secretly helped relocate a lot.

As for Wang Shichong here, because of negligent management, the people close to the border of Zou Yu are about to be relocated, especially with the help of Tongji Canal, which is fast and convenient.

The most important thing is that Zou Yu only needs people to come here, and the government subsidizes houses, land, clothes and grain, and even firewood, oil, salt and sauce, etc., all of which are fully equipped.

This is the advantage of centralized construction of villages, easy to manage, unlike other places, where the people have one east and one west, even if they don't show up for ten days and half a month, no one knows.

By the time Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and others found out that something was wrong, the border line was dozens of miles away!

The impact of this incident was very great, because the people left in a hurry, and only brought a little clothes and food at home, and the rest of the things that were not worth much were left in place, which looked a little weird. It's like people suddenly abandoning their homes and disappearing. The treacherous thing was once rumored.

To say the worst, or Liang Shidu, inexplicably, was beaten by fat, lost four county seats, lost thousands of soldiers, the key is that he was rampant, has long caused the people to be dissatisfied, this time the border line is lost, the people naturally flee, the people of Shuozhou, there are thirty percent, take the opportunity to run to the Zou Yu territory, after all, continue to stay, already starve to death, let alone spend the winter.

After the summer harvest, many people returned home to pick up their families and relatives, and the news slowly spread, and by the beginning of winter, more than 100,000 people took the initiative to flee to Bingzhou and other places, not to mention those who were seduced by propaganda to help relocate. In one year, more than 200,000 people were relocated and distributed among several families, almost each of which was equivalent to losing the population of two or three county seats.

For this reason, several families had to strengthen population control, and relatively speaking, the oppression of the people was not so ruthless.

However, Zou Yu still has a caravan, and the caravan where various families go out, there is also a human task, which is to bring back the population, whether they are stealing, abducting, robbing, or buying, anyway, every time they go out, they must bring some people back.

Wang Shichong and others also thought about countermeasures, and they also came to rob Zou Yu's population, but in front of a large number of dog troops, the losses would be light, and more would be put back, so that the family would leave, and so on several times. Wang Shichong simply didn't care, just continued to strengthen the border blockade.

Li Chun went back to the room, fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already the morning of the next day, he drank a bowl of ginseng soup, and appeared in front of Zou Yu full of energy.

"Prime Minister!" Li Chun shouted gratefully and bowed deeply.

"Li Langzhong came just in time! The auspicious time is coming. Zou Yu smiled and helped Li Chundao up.

Looking at the 50,000 people waiting below, Li Chun's mood was agitated, and he arched his hand again: "Please give the Prime Minister's order!" ”

"It's auspicious! Worship the sky! Start! Zou Yu nodded, took two steps forward, and shouted in a serious voice.

"Prime Minister's Order! It's auspicious! Worship the sky! Start! Immediately afterwards, someone passed Zou Yu's words far away.

"Worship the heavens! Start! An old man with gray hair shouted solemnly.

With his shout, an old cow, a sheep, and a pig were brought up! Then three men with knives stepped forward. Between the knives entering, the cattle and sheep fell! Blood spurted on the ground!

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Let's go! The people immediately shouted excitedly.

Sacrificing cows, sheep and pigs to the sky is one of the heaviest rituals. However, the project was huge, and Li Chun strongly demanded the use of ancient rites, so he prepared three animals.

The blood of the three animals was sprinkled along the altar built at the construction site, and then the construction of the dam began amid the cheers of the people.

A huge pit, three meters deep, one by one thumb-thick steel bars, wrist-thick steel pipes were driven into the ground! Then the manually mixed concrete was poured down!

"It's too... It's too extravagant! He Chou said excitedly.

"Not bad! The steel cost alone is enough to equip an army of 100,000! But for the sake of building a millennium project, it is worth it! Zou Yu also had some pain, his cheeks twitched in pain, and he gritted his teeth and said.

Although this concrete is worse than that of later generations, he added more cement to increase its strength. It can be said that the most cement and steel consumption of the whole project lies in the foundation!

Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, the most important thing is the foundation, which cannot be lost!

Tens of thousands of people, it took three days to cast the foundation, because there was no vibrating rod, just mixing and shaking, it took 30,000 people, and there were more than 10,000 people for transportation, you can imagine how big the consumption is.

After the foundation was laid, it took another three days for the initial solidification to begin the construction of the upper part. The common people shouted slogans, lifted the bluestones, and then placed them neatly in rows.

"This kind of bluestone is scattered, even if you don't use cement, you can't run water! However, with cement, there is no need to polish the bluestone, so it is much faster. Li Chun introduced.

Li Chun's meaning is that in the previous construction projects, the bluestones were all polished, and they could indeed be staggered without leakage; But then time is too slow.

Using cement as a binder, even if the bluestone is uneven, it is used in the same way, which undoubtedly speeds up the progress of the project.

Piece by piece, the bluestone is placed on top of the log from the mining site and then dragged to the resting place. Like ants moving, the whole dam, like a stack of building blocks, is piled up.

The most difficult point is to mine bluestone, fortunately, there is still concrete that can be used, the outside is used bluestone accumulation, and the middle is made of concrete, but this kind of concrete does not use steel bars, otherwise Zou Yu will go bankrupt.

Hemp stalk! It is the kind that takes hemp to make threads, the thickness of a finger, and is inserted into the middle of the concrete and used as a connection, which Zou Yu believes in Li Chun's opinion.

According to Li Chun, this is fast enough, after all, the pure stone has been used, and the sand and stone by the river are much faster than the simple stone, not to mention that the bluestone inside does not necessarily have to be used, and the ordinary stone is the same.

The cub was not distressed when he sold Yetian, and Li Chun, who was ruthless, deliberately built three 100-meter-long water-dividing dams on the side of the water. There is a dam to divide the water, so that the pressure on the main dam is much smaller, which is equivalent to being divided into three parts.

After staying on the dam for more than half a month, Zou Yu left to return to Jinyang, after all, the next thing is to do things step by step, for this dam, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Yizhou are working hard for it.
