Chapter 343 Reservoir Inaugurated

"Whether it's the Great Wall or the canal, it's far worse than this dam!" Li Chun said proudly.

"Great work! Take a good rest for a while, and when the final test of the reservoir is passed, build a bigger reservoir! Zou Yu gently patted Li Chun on the shoulder and said.

"The subordinates are not tired! There is no need to rest, Prime Minister, where do you say the next reservoir will be built? Subordinates prepare immediately! Li Chun said energetically.

"Look at you in the past six months, you have lost so much weight, there are still so many places in the country, there are still so many reservoirs that need to be built, you are tired, do you want me to repair it?" Zou Yu pretended to be angry and glared at him.

"Hey, hey! Subordinates obey! Li Chun naturally knew that Zou Yu was not angry, and smiled embarrassedly and touched the back of his head.

"At present, the output of cement and steel bars is limited, so I still hope that you will supervise the next reservoir together!" Looking at He Chou next to him, Zou Yu said gently.

"It's an honor for my subordinates!" He Chou did not answer with any dissatisfaction.

He Chou was very interested in building such a large project and using so many new things at the same time, so he was not a little dissatisfied, but he didn't expect that the next reservoir would be so big.

The next reservoir will be built in Miyun, which will provide agricultural water for the entire Youzhou in the future, and the location has been preliminarily explored, but there are many places that need to be built in Miyun, unlike the reservoir of Zhulu, which only needs a dam. Miyun not only needs to build two dams, but also has to build five auxiliary dams, so that the overall water level is flat and the water storage is enough! At the same time, it can also release water in all directions, you must know that this is the agricultural water of the whole county, at least twice a year, the storage of less water can not be done, and the reservoir needs to face all directions, the release time, the water level, the height of the dam, the height of the sluice gate, all need to be calculated, not overnight can be completed.

At present, the most important thing is to wait to see whether the bearing capacity of cement can meet the standard, especially this kind of large-scale project that has been used for hundreds or even hundreds of years.

The biggest headache for Zou Yu is manpower, building roads, repairing reservoirs, urgently need a large number of manpower, and building roads can be slowly built with prisoners, but the reservoir can't do it, after all, from the beginning of construction, it has slowly begun to store water, so not only can it not be stopped at the beginning, but it can't be slow.

The construction of the reservoir is generally done by the people of the county, and it will take more to mobilize the wages of the people from other places, after all, they will not benefit from it in the future.

There is also a reason that such a large-scale project will inevitably have casualties, so it is better to use prisoners, of course.

"We're short of manpower!" Zou Yu rubbed his forehead and said.

"This is also a helpless thing, the population increases, it can't be done overnight, not to mention that we are very strict around us now!" Fang Xuanling frowned slightly.

"Xuan Ling is really a sincere gentleman, the prince means that there is a shortage of prisoners!" Li Jing said with a smile.

Through getting along for a long time, Li Jing can be regarded as knowing Fang Xuanling, who is a good hand at handling government affairs, and has many methods, only when choosing a plan, he is a little hesitant, or he is used to choosing some gentle means.

Li Jing is different, he is a very qualified military strategist, everything is based on the principle of achieving the goal, so Zou Yuyi said, his first reaction is to capture prisoners to solve the problem of lack of manpower.

"Huh! I thought the lord was talking about his own people. Fang Xuanling said.

"Brother Fang is a gentleman, I am really sorry to be busy by me and think about some dirty things all day long!" Zou Yu said apologetically.

"Where does the prince speak, it is Fang Qiao's honor to be able to see such a wonderful world." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Several people smiled similarly, and then stopped complimenting each other, Li Jing asked with a smile: "Doesn't the prince want to do something to the Turks again?" ”

"Yes, Jieli Khan succeeded to the throne and reunified the steppe, whether he wants to establish his power or take revenge, sooner or later he will do something to us, so it is better to wait for them to do it." The corners of Zou Yu's mouth lifted.

"When is the prince going to do it? How many people are mobilized? Li Jing perked up and asked curiously. At present, except for the generals who are guarding various places, the most suitable person to lead the troops is still himself, so he feels very excited.

At present, the generals who have known Zou Yu for the longest time, and the generals who are suitable for leading the troops, are Li Keshi, Zhang Zhongjian, Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang, and Han Qianxun. Han Qianxun guarded Liaodong, Zhang Zhongjian guarded Pingzhou, Li Keshi guarded Tongguan, Yongfengcang; Su Dingfang is currently guarding Puzhou and Shuofang. Relatively speaking, Qin Qiong is more suitable for being a general, not for being a handsome, if it weren't for Zou Yu personally leading the troops, naturally only his own family would be the most suitable.

has only led the troops to fight a few battles, for a military strategist, this is definitely not enough, and even what he has learned in his heart has not had time to correct it one by one, it can be said that the current Li Jing is the most looking forward to fighting.

"How can I go after the New Year, how to attack, of course, listen to Li Shangshu's opinion." Zou Yu said with a smile.

Seeing Zou Yu's trust as always, Li Jing's heart warmed, and he replied respectfully: "It depends on how many people the prince plans to give." ”

"The Tatar clan came to complain a few years ago, saying that the Tatar clan only has 30,000 people who can fight young and strong, and I hope I will not recruit them for the time being." Zou Yu suddenly said something unrelated.

"The people of the Devil have become smarter!" Fang Xuanling said with a smile. He was very clear about Zou Yu's intentions, because this was something that the two had communicated.

"In my opinion, it's not that I'm getting smarter, but I'm more greedy, but I'm worried that the power in my hands will weaken and I will get fewer good things in the future." Zou Yu said with a sneer. Da Zuorong, the purpose of the patriarchs of Luosang Chi, he saw it very clearly. Come to think of it, Baishan Heishui, Su Mo, and the three Yan Clans are inherently incompatible, how can they care about each other's life or death.

In Liaodong over the years, he has dealt with nomads a lot, and Zou Yu has a deep understanding that the hatred between tribes will not end unless one party disappears, or it is expected to submit to another tribe, so it is very difficult to let them live in harmony.

"Then what are your plans, Lord Wang? If there are not enough benefits, I am afraid that the Yan tribe will not send troops again, even if the prince is recruited, they will be disobedient! Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"It's simple, I'm going to use it again, but this time all 30,000 people must be dispatched!" The corners of Zou Yu's mouth lifted.

"Then how did the prince tempt them?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously.

"I have prepared a few big houses in Jinyang for Da Zuorong and others! In addition, after this battle, the people of the Yan Tatar were placed in Yizhou, Youzhou, and Pingzhou! Zou Yu said with a smile.
