"Work harder, what do you do! If anyone dares to be lazy, don't blame me for being rude! ”

At the foot of the Pingyun Mountains, the overseer was wielding his whip, looking coldly at the Tartars who were digging in the dirt below, and his face looked a little cold.

The man who had just come to the Ministry of Works told him that he had to ensure that the canal was repaired as soon as possible no matter what, and that if there was any delay, he would trouble him.

He didn't want to be in trouble for nothing, and he didn't want the news of his supervisor's disadvantage to reach the ears of the shopkeeper.

If this matter reached the ears of the shopkeeper, it would be a shame for him.

Therefore, he was also ruthless at this time, looking at the Tartars who were working, he scolded again and again, and if anyone made him find out that he was lazy, then don't blame him for whipping him directly.

The prisoners who were working below heard the scolding at this moment, and some of them didn't understand what the other party was saying, but with the sound of the other party's whip, they probably guessed the meaning of the other party's words, and they didn't dare to resist at all, so they hurriedly worked hard.

There were people who had escaped before, but after being divided into countless squads, whenever one of them escaped, the members of the squad were killed in public.

As a result, no one dares to run away now.

After all, when he ran, he was afraid of being betrayed by his own people.

"It's not bad."

Lu Chensheng came to the canal, looked at the people who were in full swing, and nodded slightly.

Everyone suddenly heard the voice, and hurriedly turned their heads to look over, and the overseer hurriedly ran over after seeing that it was the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper!"

The overseer called out respectfully.

Lu Chensheng glanced at the overseer and nodded, "How is it, nothing happened, right?" ”

Lu Chensheng naturally refers to whether there is turmoil or something, after all, they are all captives, and it is normal for some situations to happen when they work day and night.

"Back to the shopkeeper, except for some people who wanted to escape at the beginning, and then they were killed, no one had a mind, and everything went well."

The overseer immediately responded.

Lu Chensheng nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, "Continue to follow this progress, the canal is very important, don't delay the progress." ”

"Yes, the shopkeeper can rest assured, there will be no delay in progress!"

When the overseer heard this, he immediately responded.

After Lu Chensheng nodded, he continued to walk towards the front, the canal channel in front of him had been dug up, and it was extremely deep at a glance, and the width was enough.

Lu Chensheng glanced at it a few more times and continued to walk forward.

After a few moments, we came to the foot of the mountain, and on the side of it was a that was being built.

A few valleys only need to be closed with a gap, and the amount of water stored in them is enough to cope with the surge in water in the summer.

In addition, the canal leads to Xinghan City, and some of it will be used to irrigate the fields or something, so such a stepped diversion is enough to deal with the flood.

"The levees should be built better to ensure that they don't burst, understand?"

Lu Chensheng came to see it in person, mainly because he was afraid that the embankment would burst or something.

If the embankment fails, the place where it will rush through will be Seonghan City, which will definitely be very troublesome.

Moreover, according to Lu Chensheng's idea, in the future, Xu Shi will plant crops outside Xinghan City and use the water from this canal to water the fields.

If the embankment breaks, the fertile land will be completely destroyed.

Although Lu Chensheng has not seen the destructive power of the embankment, he still understands it to some extent.

When the craftsman in charge of building the embankment heard this, he immediately nodded, "The shopkeeper can rest assured that the embankment will definitely be repaired!" ”

After the dam is built, it will be repaired in the future, as long as there is no problem at the beginning, and then more inspections, timely detection of problems and repairs, it should not be too much of a problem.

It was built with cement, and steel bars were embedded in it, which was required by Lu Chensheng.

With hundreds of steel-made steel bars, I dived into it.

There are still a lot of them on the side, although there may not be any way to compare with the steel bars of later generations, and none of them are fully cylindrical, but this is the only way to do it today.

All in all, it's better to add this stuff than not to add it at all.

When the embankment was built, the craftsmen also dug up and down the rock layer according to Lu Chensheng's instructions, so that the embankment could be embedded in the rock layer to ensure the firmness of the foundation.

The mountains on both sides are actually similar, they are all dug into them, so that the embankments can be directly embedded in the mountains and integrated into one.

Lu Chensheng looked left and right, and saw that the mountains on both sides had been dug in, and they were all deep, and his face was also satisfied.

"Well done, the rest of the place is to that standard."

Lu Chensheng is still very satisfied with the progress of the project here.

After the canal is built, the iron ore dug from Dacangguo can be directly transported to Xinghan City, and river sand and the like can be directly transported to Xinghan City by boat.

I don't know how much effort and time can be saved.

At that time, the development of Xinghan City will be much faster, and his plan must be much earlier.

After inspecting around and making sure that the specifications of all the places were in line with his plan, Lu Chensheng walked back, got into the carriage and left.

Along the way, there were cavalry and Jinyi guards to escort him, but now Lu Chensheng's identity is different, and there are special people to escort him when he goes out.

After returning to the city, Lu Chensheng immediately called Uncle Lin.

"According to the plan, the canal can be built this year, Uncle Lin has led people to build ships before, and now he is building a dock."

When the canal opened, the demand for ships would suddenly rise, and there was still a need to build a dock.

Uncle Lin listened to Lu Chensheng's words, and nodded directly.

"This thing has been built before, and it is easy to rebuild it now, but I don't know where this dockyard is more appropriate? Is it outside the city or inside the valley? ”

Uncle Lin looked at Lu Chensheng and asked softly.

Lu Chensheng pondered for a moment when he heard this, looked left and right in the valley, and then said, "Just in the valley, now the canal has not been built, and it is difficult to determine the location of the dock built outside."

In addition, when the goods or something are brought to the city, it is better to build them in the city, and everything is more convenient.

Now that there is water in the city, the boats can be built and they can try to sail directly in the valley. ”

Lu Chensheng thought about it, it would be more convenient for the dock to be built directly in the valley, anyway, there are many canals here, which can also allow ships to sail.
