Chapter 1357 Ju Yanhai

The two rivers that flow down from the Qilian Mountains and the Rouge Mountains merge in the middle of the Hexi Corridor into the great river known today as Heishui, which flows north to the huge lake in the desert.

That lake is called Juyanhai, and where the two rivers converge, there is an ancient city, which is Zhangye in the Han Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Ganzhou because of the sweet springs here.

Between Ganzhou and Liangzhou, on the bank of the river under the Rouge Mountain, there is a huge grassland, and now that place is called Delete Dan, and the largest horse farm in China in later generations - Shandan Military Horse Farm, is there.

The shogunate of the envoy of Hexi Jiedu was set up in Ganzhou, and along the black water to the north to Juyanze, it was the place where Su You carefully selected the place to build teeth for Chaogu.

The degree of sinicization of the people here has always been very high, Beiliang built the capital here, vigorously promoted the Han system, greatly promoted Confucianism, Buddhism, and highly developed agriculture.

The millet here is the best in the entire northwest, and there are many rice fields on both sides of the black water, and black rice has always been a tribute to the court in later generations.

The Tang Dynasty carried out agricultural development here, "opening up tuntian, taking advantage of water and land, harvesting rice harvests, dozens of grains, and accumulating military rations for decades." ”

Later, due to the wars in the Western Regions over the years, the former land of fish and rice, the land of ointment, was gradually abandoned.

It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that it was restored, and the military rations produced here were enough to supply the entire Hexi.

Marco Polo once passed through this place on his travels and marveled at the opulence of this place.

The mineral deposits here are also extremely rich, and the famous Qingfeng steel and Qilian iron in Western Xia are produced in the foothills of the Qilian Mountains in the southwest of Ganzhou.

In addition to the most powerful coal, iron, miscanthus salt, lime, tungsten, and manganese, it is also rich in gold, silver, copper, sulfur, potassium, chromium, and asbestos.

It can be said that it has all the resources needed for today's military industry.

There are horses, grain, mines, trade routes, and the capital to build a country.

This will be the main place of immigration in the future, and with the mining and metallurgical development technology of the Great Song Dynasty, it is even more important than Liangzhou.

If there are two new armies to defend Ganzhou, this will be the base camp for the expansion of the Great Song Dynasty to the surrounding areas in the future.

However, in order to achieve this step, it is necessary to first settle a large number of immigrants here, so that the two departments of Tugan Yeli are highly sinicized, and at least a large city with a household registration of more than 20,000 must be built, so that the Han people can occupy an absolute population advantage here, and then dare to start spreading industry.

Su You felt that at least more than ten years of continuous immigration was needed.

It's hard......

Things need to be done step by step, and now that it has entered March, what Su You has to do is to go to Juyanhai to help the herdsmen allocate their own pastoral areas.

After that, they will come back and wait for the high-quality stallion herd that has been relocated from the Sitong engineering team, the prospecting team and the Langdu Horse Farm.

After the transition period next year, Chaogu must come to sit in the town, and by then the cement plant and iron factory should have been built, and the second step is to build the city.

"Uncle! Uncle! Guoliang in his arms stretched out his little hand and pointed to a big deer in the woods.

Chao Guodong rode out and raised the small hunting gun in his hand, which was Uncle Su's gift to him.

There was a "bang", and the deer collapsed between the trees.

A few herders went over and lifted the deer and threw it on the cart at the back of the group.

Chao Guodong put the butt of the gun on the saddle, skillfully twisted and pulled the bolt, and a small brass bullet case popped out and flew into the air.

Chao Guodong quickly reset the bolt, leaned over and grabbed the bullet casings that fell to the ground, turned his head and excitedly showed Sun Neng: "Brother Sun, I did it!" ”

Sun Neng smiled: "You kid, this is your equestrian skills, don't lean over and grab the bullet shell if you have the ability." It's like this—"

Raised his hand and shot at the tree where the deer had just fallen, and his right hand holding the trigger flipped and swiped, and returned to an aiming posture.

Chao Guodong asked suspiciously, "Brother Sun, where are the bullet shells?" ”

Only then did Sun Neng put the gun down, spread out his right hand, and in the palm of his hand, there was a yellow bullet casing. Second Chinese Network

"Wow-" Chao Guodong's eyes lit up: "Brother Sun, you are too powerful!" ”

Tong Guan complained on the side: "That is, in order to practice this trick in the army, your eldest brother Sun showed off in the army, and the palms of his hands were calloused!" Silly or not......"

Chao Guodong doesn't care about this, this trick is simply too handsome: "Brother Sun, I'll look at the calluses on your hands, your calluses are so round......"

This time it was Su You's turn to complain: "Hmph! That's your eldest brother Sun used to be a gentleman in Bianjing City, and he was picked up for archery shooting, Guodong, you are a good boy, you must not learn from him in this regard. ”

Chao Guodong turned Sun Neng's hand over, and sure enough, there was also a scar on the back of his hand, which happened to be opposite to the palm of his hand: "Who is so powerful?" Even Brother Sun can't beat him. ”

Sun Neng rolled his eyes: "Hehe...... Xiaodong, you have to be reasonable, that person can't even beat your Uncle Su Yixi Weishe, how old am I?! ”

Su You: "......"

Juyanhai can't see the edge at a glance, and now is the most beautiful time.

Tong Guan looked at the abundant grassland under his feet: "Oh my God...... So big! ”

In fact, there was a brutal killing here, when Liang Yongneng and Jia Liang, led the Western Xia Iron Harrier, starting from here until Montenegro, to sweep the nomads in Mobei once.

However, this pot is all from Xia, and the Great Song Dynasty is here again now, with peace and beauty.

When you get here, it's not appropriate to do anything more than a hundred acres, a total of only 100,000 accounts, and you need to walk five days a week around the lake, it's like sprinkling sesame seeds.

Su You asked the Tu cadres to divide the tents according to the families, issued the title deeds, and stook the land according to the Westward Expansion Movement of the United States in later generations.

Today's Juyanhai is not the kind of desert of later generations, and the amount of black water is still very abundant, and there are even floods that cause diversions, causing Juyanhai to drift from east to west.

The desert is far from the lake area, and the trees are not only poplars, but a large number of wild animals live around the large lake, and the lake is full of dense migratory birds.

There is also an ancient city here, Juyan City, which was built here by Lu Bode, a strong crossbow commander in the Han Dynasty, and still exists until now.

Climb the ruins of the city and look around, some traces of the canal left by the Han Dynasty Tuntian are still faintly visible.

A large herd of livestock roosted on the edge of the lake in the distance, and Su You felt amazing: "Guodong, what is that?" ”

Chao Guodong glanced at it: "That's a herd of wild horses." The lost horses will rest on the grassland, and gradually form herds, and the big ones can have large herds, at least a few hundred. ”

"So powerful?" Tong Guan was dumbfounded: "I was so hard to ...... before the Great Song Dynasty Horse Prison"

Su You said with a smile: "When the land west of the river was at its peak, there were two million horses, where did this go?" ”

After speaking, he stomped his feet: "In the future, Hexi, Ningxia and Henan will be the horse farm of my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Tong Guan said with a smile: "That is, the grandfather of the country has the ability to scatter beans into soldiers and build grass for horses, and he is a barbarian who can't be scared to death and disobeys!" ”

Su You shook his head: "This is the northernmost part of the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and the Tatars are further north." ”

"After the sweeps of the Xia Kingdom in the past few years, the Tatars have already taken refuge in the north of Ossan, and when they develop here, they will go south to plunder."

"Therefore, it is necessary to maintain military strength, and we have to build Juyan City and send troops to support the cadres."

"If the Tatars come to trade with cattle, horses, and sheep, we welcome it, and if they dare to come and plunder......"

Chao Guodong shouted: "Beat them! ”

Su You laughed: "Yes, beat them, and after the beating, you have to catch them and send them to mine for us!" ”

Tu cadres are a tribe that started in business, and later changed to metallurgy, with Chaogu through Su oil smuggled books, the tribe's cultural level, science and engineering technology level, is the highest in the northwest.

There are a lot of talents in the clan who are clearly calculated and measured, and they don't have to worry about the division of land.

Anyway, the rules are fixed, no matter how big or small, they are all in accordance with the way of the fish scale household register that has been explored by the two Zhejiang roads, and the regional ownership is guaranteed to the greatest extent.

In this way, there is still a lot of open space in this area.
