Chapter 702. Mercenary Corps
Sure enough, it was a feudal era of all evils.
If in the future generations, the wages of migrant workers are in arrears, it will have to be immediately exposed on the Internet, and thousands of people will be scolded by thousands of people! But now, Wang Hou, the evil capitalist, is arrogantly and arrogantly dragging wages, and these poor workers have to thank Wang Hou! Like now.
"Thank you, General! Thank you, General! ”
On the side of the road, watching Wang Hou leading the pro-army and riding a majestic horse to inspect the past, the chieftains of more than a dozen Qiang people all bowed carefully and thanked him, and Wang Hou also talked to you about his ideals and the company's prospects if he had nothing to do.
"It should be! You're welcome! Wang was deeply entrusted by the imperial court and made a life for the people! Hurry up and get to work! ”
"Little obedience!"
After agreeing to a circle, these Qiang chieftains turned around and went back to the construction site again, shouting even harder at their own tribesmen.
And in the wilderness, the attached Dongqiang tribes did the same job as Sima Yi instructed the minions of Guanzhong to oppress the Qiang people a few days ago, that is, to dig ditches in the wilderness on a cold day.
The only difference is that this time the Qiang people no longer use wooden sticks to work, but with sharp hoes, and they do not work day and night, working eight hours a day from morning to night, and then the government provides three meals.
This makes Wang Hou, a vampire capitalist who is more than other bastards from Kanto.
Of course, in addition, the Qiang people were deceived and worked tirelessly for Wang Hou, and Wang Hou was like the bosses of the new development companies in later generations, and the big cake painted by these migrated Qiang people, everyone should do it well! At that time, like those military families, one person will be given 20 acres of land, and everyone's wife and children will be hot on the kang!
I guess that's a dream!
Archaeology in later generations, why did it take one or two decades to repair the emperor's tombs in ancient times? Or to carry out a large-scale public project, for decades and more than a hundred years, like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to build the Grand Canal, the great good thing that covered the world made him a tyranny?
Because Huaxia is a standard agricultural society, the big guys are farmers, all year round are either busy with ploughing or busy with grazing, like last year, Wang Hou spent more than half a year repairing a Sanqingguan, it is because there are too few migrant workers in the society, the recruitment of the people for a month, the labor for a month, the labor for a month, before the Sanqingguan to spell out!
Therefore, Wang Hou would rather make the local Han people in Guanzhong unhappy, but also recruit the Qiang people, in addition to sending a small number of troops to reduce the harassment from the north, the most important mission of the Qiang Department is to work for Wang Hou!
The first major project is to re-excavate the Zhengguo Canal built by the Qin State! After the Zhengguo Canal was dug and there were many water conservancy projects such as Chengguo Canal, Bai Canal, Liufu Canal, Longshou Canal and so on, which needed to be dredged again, the reason why the Western Han Dynasty was able to suppress the world with Guanzhong was related to these canals!
How important are water conservancy projects to agriculture in this era? When Liu Bang was the pavilion chief, it was because he could fight in the township every year and grab the water source, which accumulated his first prestige! Starting from the Zhengguo Canal, the successive regimes dug the Guanzhong Plain like the Tianzi grid, communicated with each other between Jingshui and Weishui, and the ditches like spider webs moistened all the fields in the Guanzhong Plain, and there were paddy fields everywhere, which created the grand scene of the Guanzhong standard.
Then to the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Mang's rebellion for decades, these large-scale water conservancy projects were all abandoned, to the Eastern Han Dynasty Guandong Shi clan in charge, there is no heart to repair these water conservancy projects, eight hundred miles of Guanzhong, when Wang Hou entered the customs, the suitable agricultural reclamation area has only shrunk to Jingshui, Weishui, Luoshui and other narrow tens of thousands of acres of land on both sides of the river, if you want to restore the prosperity of Guanzhong, it will take a few years to repair these water conservancy projects. Goshoya
Then, even if these Qiang people carry forward the iron man spirit and dredge all these ditches within a few years, the project is not finished! Wang Hou is ambitious to imitate Tang Chang'an City and build another international metropolis, which will take a few years.
Even if Chang'an City was repaired, the greatest impact on the Liaodong Trust Group was the trade route, and Wang Hou also planned to build a railway from the Loess Plateau to Yumen Pass along the Liangzhou in Guanzhong, which would take many years.
After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, immigrants went around doing business, so that future generations would call all the people who did business businessmen, I don't know if Wang Hou recruited the Qiang people, and the general public would call all the workers Qiang people in the future!
However, the benefits of having a professional construction team are really obvious, this good picture inspires the Qiang people to work hard for themselves, and on the other hand, the project really gives itself immediate results.
The Qiang men who were not selected to serve in the army were panting and digging with hoes, and the women and the old and weak were carrying bamboo baskets, and the silt and soil dug out of the old ditches were continuously transported out of the ditch and dumped in the barren fields on both sides, and then the poor Han Chang'an City was put on site, and the bricks and cement were paved to the bottom of the ditch, and the ditch that was as flat as the swimming pool in later generations had been repaired for more than 50 miles, and the Zhengguo Canal with a total length of 300 miles was enough to be repaired in six months according to this progress, and the first task of Mr. Cao was completed at that time.
Just when Wang Hou was looking at a wasteland, and the future was already floating in his mind, the fertile fields were thousands of miles away, full of golden wheat, and suddenly on the field, a ride on the red dust rushed over.
Since Le'er came, she was robbed of the position of the herald's own soldiers, her pretty face was flushed with excitement, and she was waving her little hand in a hurry.
"Father! Zhonglang General Wuqiu Jian has led the crowd to Huangling, and General Zhao Lun is known as the historian, and I will inform you to return to Gyeonggi as soon as possible! ”
"This kid, such a babbling thing, is not afraid of leaking military aircraft!"
smiled helplessly, and then Wang Hou also stretched out his hand high.
"Got it! Run slower! ”
The girl is really so spoiled!
…………
How did the Houjin Kingdom of the old wild boar skin develop in later generations? Relying on farming Jurchens alone for 10,000 years may not be able to shake a corner of the Ming Dynasty, but every time the Eight Banners Iron Horse enters the customs, it can make the Houjin and Taqing accelerate their development for ten years, so this farming is just to check and fill in the gaps, Wang Hou wants to develop in Guanzhong, and the main task is to fight! After all, the population of Guanzhong is now only three or four hundred thousand, and it will not be able to pop up if it dies, but at this time, the population of Liangzhou is mixed with Hu and Han, and there are almost 100,000 people who have fled.
This population is even more than that of Wang Hou's base camp Liaodong, and it is really a piece of fat meat that makes Wang Hou salivate.
Last year's battle of burning dang opened up the ancient Yulin Pass on the Loess Plateau, which was really of great significance to the expansion of Liaodong, when Wang Hou carried the main force of Guanzhong and arrived at Huangling to converge, the requisitioned Goguryeo people and the strong men of Fuyu Wuhuan had already pulled tens of thousands of stone of grain here with ox carts first, and the equipment was several times stronger than last year, and the rolling Xianbei iron cavalry wearing chain mail and carrying the Liaodong standard riding spear was also like a torrent of steel from the loess plate gap rushed down.
The tentacles of war in Liaodong have officially extended to Guanzhong Pingyuan!
