Chapter 856 Construction

"This man is dangerous." Shen Kuo came to Jiaozhi, and he couldn't bear it for a minute if he could give Cai Cheng eye medicine.

If he hadn't been cheated by Cai Qu to Xuanzhou and fell under Su Mingrun's nose, he would have been caught here?!

The more the official does, the farther and farther away from the Chinese book, "thousands of miles to find the marquis", judging from the distance, it is not an exaggeration, but a real number.

He has now become the governor of the southernmost state of the Great Song Dynasty.

Starting from Bianjing, go down the Bianhe River, enter the canal, go to Qiantang, and then the Shanghai boat comes all the way, just 10,000 miles.

There is a magical inevitability in history, and this vast territory was named Meizhou by Zhao Ji, taking the meaning of "in the water of Mei".

Su You was in a trance when he received the report from the imperial court, will there be a famous minister named Mekong here in the future, and then the Jiulong River will finally be renamed the Mekong River?

Shaking his head and throwing away this nonsensical thought, he smiled at Shen Kuo and said, "Dazhou is too guarded by a radius of thousands of miles, and you can be regarded as a mixed head in the middle of the store." ”

"Don't say it so nicely!" Shen Kuo really cried when he received the appointment: "Shaobao, how can you cheat me like this? ”

He and Pham Shi Zhe have already negotiated a new land boundary, west of the original jurisdiction of Sai Kung, with the main stream of the Kowloon River and the North River as the boundary, and the entire southern delta swamp area cut out, up to the seashore, is under the jurisdiction of Sai Kung and belongs to the Song land.

Giving up the fight for the land, Chenla was given more than 70,000 weapons, including 3,000 new swords, as well as a variety of weapons collected from the Cochin army.

Jiaozhi military weapons are superior in the entire Indochina Peninsula, and Zhenla feels that the Great Song Dynasty is really wealthy, and everyone starts doing business, which is quite cost-effective.

The Zhenla people themselves don't know how big this rainy season is full of water, the dry season is full of mud, and the crocodiles and pythons are rampant, only the geographical investigation team under Su You knows - a full 40,000 square kilometers, and the area of Haikou is still moving 80 meters to the southeast every year.

But then again, without the intervention of the flower growers, with the crowds of the Indochina Peninsula, there are still a lot of wilderness in this land after a thousand years.

The outer sea of this territory is called the Kunlun Sea, and there are some islands to the south, and there are many dark-skinned and curly-haired people on the islands.

Speaking of which, the territory is quite vast, but now the real place to live is the area around Jiading Village.

The arrival of tens of thousands of people has injected vitality into Saigon, which is truly a land of fish and rice, and the immigrants have not yet experienced the power of typhoons and scorching heat, and they feel that they have come to heaven.

Militarized management is a must, but fortunately, several of them are cadres, and with the help of elephants, the project is progressing by leaps and bounds.

There is a magical rice in Zhenla, which is floating rice.

The Yuan people recorded in the "Zhenla Wind and Soil Record", "There is another first-class field, which does not plant everlasting water, and it grows to one zhang, and the rice is also tied to it, and I want to have another one." ”

Ancient books refer to this kind of rice field as "Yu Tian", and it is recorded that rice "goes down and down from the tide", which is its special growth characteristics.

When the rainy season comes, the paddy field is waterlogged, the water level rises, and the rice stem gradually elongates, and the floating rice can sometimes grow 30 cm tall in a day in the rainy season.

In the event of heavy rainstorms, floods and rapids, the roots of the floating rice will be separated from the soil, the upper leaves will float on the surface of the water, and the whole floating rice plant will drift with the water, absorb the nutrients in the water, continue to grow, and after the water recedes, the roots will sink into the silt.

The whole stem can be more than five meters long, and by January the flood water has withdrawn and the floating rice is ripe and ready for harvesting.

Su You found this baby when he visited Zhenla, this is even more refreshing, Zhenla people that they can't play, for flower growers, take bamboo to weave into a huge bamboo basket with buoyancy, put it in the swamp, and then throw this rice into the bamboo basket, you can form a piece of rice field.

Su You knows that the water spinach commonly planted on Fujian Road and Guangnan East and West Road can actually be cultivated through this planting method, which is the number of ways for flower growers to play old.

This kind of rice has a relatively long planting period, and threshing is more troublesome than ordinary rice, but it has an advantage - large grains, high yield, and one mu of water can harvest 500 catties!

With the help of threshing machinery, the biggest trouble of rice farmers has been solved by Su You, and now the dry land and paddy fields of Saigon are still very precious, but the floodplain, that is too much to want!

Jia Kang was not idle, the first batch of polders had harvested 600,000 catties of rice in three months, and the fertility of the soil made him eager to move this land to Liangzhe Road.

The area around the first polder has been planted with sugar cane and acacia saplings, as well as some coffee, the lower paddy fields have been reclaimed and are being fed with water, and in the ponds in the central area, lotus roots, chicken head rice, lilies, wild rice, and dozens of buffaloes have been raised.

As soon as Shen Kuo came, the construction of the big project was handed over to him.

The northern refugees were inexplicably surprised by the evergreen, warm and suitable winters here, and began to carry out large-scale construction under the guidance of the polytechnic team.

The rainy season will arrive in April, so polders and houses must be built at the same time.

Fortunately, there are primeval rainforests here, and there is so much wood that you don't want to want, Fan Shizhe was very surprised by the Song people's ability to cut down trees, because Zhenla does not have such an artifact as a large saw.

More than 10,000 people were divided into logging teams, water conservancy teams, and infrastructure construction teams by Shen Kuo and Su You.

With Jiading Village as the center, the second phase of the project is like a huge semicircle, unfolding on the south bank of the North River of the Jiulong River.

In the same way, there are several dots, spread out on the highlands and stone fields on the Jiulong River Plain.

Of course, there are many troubles, snakes, insects, beasts, and beasts, and now they are still the masters of this land.

There are even two kinds of crocodiles, so I ask you if you are afraid!

The first batch of chicks brought by Su You were almost all fed with these things.

On top of that, illness is also a challenge.

Although it is a water town, Su You and Shi Wei still use military law to enforce health regulations, Shi Wei is responsible for curing diseases, and Su You is responsible for digging wells.

The well was designed by Su You, and a large pit was dug first, and then a willow section was added to surround the well, and charcoal and river sand were buried around it.

Then they buried the same two things at the bottom of the well, covered them with stone slabs, and after two days of continuous scouring, a clean and hygienic well was built.

After that, wells were built and gazebos were built to avoid rainwater pollution.

Although the well water, which has been filtered through charcoal and river sand, is very hygienic, Su You and Shi Wei still demand that the migrants drink cool boiled water.

In order to develop a good habit of immigrants, Shi Wei simply taught the immigrants to make herbal tea.

There are many large bamboos here, and a section of the bamboo tube is sawn off to make it a kettle, so it is easy to carry it when working.

There are also vines and reeds, and most of the immigrants are Hedong people, and they are also experts in playing reed weaving and wicker weaving, so there is no need to teach this aspect.

However, it is more troublesome to repair a house than Shuzhong, and it is necessary to build a bamboo building similar to that of the Dai people in Yunnan in later generations.

However, there are huge Yunqiu bamboos, moso bamboos, Jiannan, as well as hydraulic carpentry workshops and wheel saws, and countless bamboo materials can be produced every day on the large construction site.

Bamboo is a standard piece, and a mortise and tenon structure can also be used, but it needs to be wound and tied tightly with hemp rope up and down the hole.

In order to produce efficiently, 10,000 people were organized according to the Tuntian Army, Liao En and his clansmen, who arrived in advance, became the team leader, and the same five people, one guarantee and ten people in a team, tightly organized, collectively went to work and worked collectively every day, and vigorously built under the leadership of Jia Kang, Shen Kuo, and Su You.

Soon, pottery mills, salt farms, fishing grounds, boat yards, villages, barns, drying yards, government offices, quarries, timber yards, forage yards, livestock sheds, ...... They were built one after another.

The most dangerous are the logging teams, who often encounter some accident injuries, as well as tigers, leopards, crocodiles, pythons, and even wild elephants and bison, which also often hurt people.

Su You transferred a team of gods from Jiaozhi to protect them, and after Sun Neng and Wang Shao heard about it, they took turns to lead the team to rotate.

There were constant gunshots in the jungle, and Su You got a lot of good skins because of it.

This was originally a unique salt farm, when the salt reserves reached 30,000 catties, Su You organized a sea fishing.

The abundance of crustacean shellfish species in the South China Sea is breathtaking, and now the open sea is an area that the fishermen who drive canoes in Champa dare not set foot in.
