Chapter 740: An Hewei

"Now that Hehuang has resettled, the private tea garden in Shuzhong has contributed a lot. After the ban was lifted, although the direct income decreased, the tax revenue increased, and the amount of tea produced in Shu increased greatly, not only the tea farmers made a profit, the local economy was boosted, and the imperial income tax revenue compared with the direct income, there is also a trend of equalization. ”

"Besides, even if the private wells of the Han people are filled, there are still many small wells in the Yiren areas of Zhong, Wan, Rong, and Lu, so why should these be stopped? Isn't it necessary to set up additional sentry posts to prohibit smuggling? Then Nanxiyi, who has finally settled down, will there be no resentment? ”

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay for it."

Zhao Ji nodded: "Aiqing is an understanding person. ”

Shen Kuo arched his hand and said: "In fact, the truth of Shu salt is the same as Shu tea, or more important. Regarding the controversy about the ban on Shu tea, Su Shaobao said it very clearly and clearly in his previous recital, and many consequences afterwards were as expected. Shu tea is forbidden, and it is still such a big harm, not to mention Shu salt? ”

……

The next day, Zhao issued an edict to settle the controversy over the ban on Shu salt, and at the same time explained the reason for registering vehicles and compiling license plates. The call was written to discuss the feasibility of collecting road maintenance fees.

Lu Huiqing was very happy: "Cunzhong, what method did you use to get Your Majesty to agree to these two things immediately?" ”

Shen Kuo arched his hand and said: "The Holy Lord can take it, but he can't argue." If civilian vehicles can really be used in the military; Liao salt, Xixia salt, and Luzhou salt can really ban smuggling, and Shen Kuo naturally does not dare to disapprove. ”

"But these two things don't work. Therefore, as long as the explanation is clear, Your Majesty is wise, and there is no reason to disagree. ”

Lu Huiqing praised Shen Kuo, turned around and played Zhao Ji, Shen Kuo was shrewd and reasonable, and the dispatch to inspect Liangzhejiang Road was very well done, and asked His Majesty to agree to continue to check Hebei West Road.

Zhao Ji thought this idea was good, so he promoted Shen Kuo to become a knowledgeable envoy and a visiting envoy to Hexi.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Kuo was arranged by Lu Huiqing to make a clear statement.

……

Su You was still inspecting, looked at the dock, and went up along the Songjiang River to enter the Taihu Lake Basin.

Su You is only responsible for providing technical resources, and now Cai Jing is also on the road in management, so he is responsible for the finishing and consolidation of upstream water conservancy projects, as well as the north and south of the port polder, and the dredging and drainage project in the lower reaches of Taihu Lake.

Around the Taihu Lake, all the interfaces between Ligang and Taihu Lake must be replaced with all the same reinforced concrete prefabricated component facilities.

The wisdom of the working people is infinite, and the entire Taihu Lake is a large project of diverting water from the upstream into the canal, and then transporting it to the highlands around the Taihu Lake, forming a water network to flow to the Taihu Lake, and then irrigating the polders in the water network in the process.

The Taihu Lake basin is dominated by northwesterly winds, so all port openings are southwest-northeasterly. The sediment accumulation on the south bank brought by the current pushed by the monsoon is concentrated on the southeast side of the harbour, and will not block the entrance to the harbour.

The outlet of each port will be much narrower than the main canal in the polder, forming a water binding effect, and the speed of the water flow will increase sharply at the outlet, directly washing away the sediment accumulated by the lake at the outlet.

There are countless similar ingenuity, and science and engineering are the most important practice to achieve true knowledge, which have been summarized by engineering and technical personnel.

In the past, the ancestors did this from practical experiments, and now it is listed as a research topic, and most of the problems, the science and engineering personnel have figured out what the theoretical basis is.

The development and remediation project of Taihu Lake is not only for the purpose of cultivating land, but also to improve the overall planning ability of large-scale projects and the level of water conservancy theory research in the Great Song Dynasty, so that multiple disciplines such as climatology, hydrology, statistics, and finance and accounting can go hand in hand.

At the exit of a port, Jia Kang is explaining the structure to Su You.

On both sides of the exit are high embankments, which are the first line of defense against Taihu Lake.

On the high embankment is a mulberry forest, cotton fields, and at the mouth of the water is a figure 7 shaped stone fence to protect the water mouth.

Walk along the high embankment towards the harbor for a while, and it is the gate.

On both sides of the gate are concrete cement prefabricated facilities, each with deep grooves.

The villagers who took care of the gate showed Su You how to place the sluice.

The sluice gate is a thick wooden plank four meters long, fifteen centimeters thick, and forty centimeters wide, with huge iron rings installed on one side and two ends.

The villagers hooked the hoops with pennies with hooks, and each station placed the planks in the cement trough at one end.

The planks are very heavy, one piece is a few hundred catties, the first one is safe and the second one is added, and the upper plank will press down the bottom.

Patches of land were placed in this way, and it was not long before a waterway was closed.

Su You nodded: "Awesome!" ”

This polder is called Anhe Wei, which is one kilometer long from east to west and one and a half kilometers from north to south.

That's one and a half square miles, more than 2,000 acres of land.

Not far from the gate is a small village, Jia Yan introduced: "This is a small pilot project that was only made last year, this place is called Liujia Village, and the head of the family is an election official, named Liu Wanchun." ”

Standing on a high place and looking down, the whole polder, the high place is mulberry fruits, vegetables and vegetables, villages, and then to the polder part of the three layers of fertile fields, descending in turn, the center is a few fish ponds and wetland swamps, you can see geese and ducks, there is a small construction site on the side.

Walking towards the entrance of the village, a man of about forty years old and wearing a silk shirt greeted him.

Seeing Su You coming, the staff grabbed the first two steps and gave a deep salute: "After three years of peace, Liu Wanchun, a scholar, greets Shaobao." ”

This is because I was too poor in the exam to be an elected official, and then I was never selected, and I didn't have the money to buy an official, so I couldn't show my resume to talk about things.

Su You helped him for a moment: "Brother Shi doesn't have to be polite, look at your village in good order, rice and duck fat, this way of Qi family is also good." ”

Liu Wanchun said: "Don't dare, don't dare, please go into the village and rest less." ”

Su You waved his hand: "No, you can introduce us first, and then it's not too late to rest." ”

Liu Wanchun said: "Then please come with me." ”

After some exchanges, he knew that Liu Wanchun's hometown was in the mountains of Wenzhou, and he was a jinshi who tightened his belt in the clan and offered him out.

However, there are too many Jinshi on Liangzhejiang Road, and the ranking is slightly worse than the number, and after a few years in Beijing, I really can't see the future, so I have to go back to my hometown.

When Jia Kang was renovating the water conservancy, Liu Wanchun came to defect, but the flood was together, and Jia Kang himself was eaten, not to mention this unlucky bastard.

Fortunately, Su You immediately fished Jia back and gave him a lot of money and grain, so Liu Wanchun gritted his teeth and took the initiative to ask for a polder test in Huzhou.

The preliminary work must have been arduous, but there was great hope, and Liu Wanchun made a very risky decision to move the 100 people of the Ju family to Anhewei.

Fortunately, they moved over, otherwise this year's drought would have caused the He people to eat relief food.

Anhewei is different, Liu Wanchun led his clansmen to open up more than 1,000 acres of paddy fields, 200 acres of dry land, 300 acres of woodland, and dozens of acres of ponds.

Now that the paddy field has just harvested more than 4,000 stone of grain, seeing that there are still more than 1,000 stone of autumn grain, and the farmer also organizes fishing in the lake, Liu Wanchun is relieved now, and his family is basically standing firm on the shore of Taihu Lake.

Back in the village, Su You saw that the houses were still mud walls, but they were more advanced than bamboo fence mud, and they were mud embryo walls with grass roofs.

There is a big house in the village, which is an ancestral hall and a barnhouse.

When Su You entered the hall, the old patriarch was already a little senile, and took his hand: "Wanchun, has there been enough food in the village this year?" ”

Liu Wanchun was embarrassed: "Grandpa, this is Su Shaobao, I am Wanchun!" ”

The old patriarch looked at him: "The vegetarian bun is not good, you are a distinguished guest, you have to get something good!" ”

After speaking, he continued to pull Su You: "The guests are here, I have to get a few meat dishes." Wanchun, let the babies go to the mountains to shout, and the rabbits and pheasants will do something......"

Liu Wanchun said loudly: "Grandpa, we have all gone down the mountain, and now we have moved to the edge of Taihu Lake!" There are no more rabbit pheasants. ”
