Chapter 613: A Familiar Enemy

Seeing Meng Da, he was really passing by.

Now that the frost has fallen, there is still half a month before the beginning of winter in early October, and the winter wheat is irrigated after the beginning of winter, and then the first hunt will be carried out.

Before hunting, a detailed survey of the prey, terrain, and roads within the upper forest garden should be carried out, and a fence should be built early to restrain the herd that may be captured.

Then, it took about 10 days to formulate a hunting plan, and strive to mobilize 20,000 people, and gradually hunt, capture, and drive the herd to be dealt with in a centralized manner by alternately advancing the layers of nets.

When the weather is completely cold, it is suitable for large-scale hunting and slaughtering of animals, so that more meat can be preserved and transported to the city.

Over there, Meng Da heard the news and came to see Tian Xin, the county seat of Huhou is still the original county seat of Yuxian County, but the Huhou Mansion is repaired in the old residence of the Hugu Tingtian family, which can be started and is still laying the foundation.

It has long been abandoned, and for nearly thirty years of natural savage growth, except for the landmark stone monuments and the ruins of the pavilion, all other fields have been eroded and occupied by all kinds of forests, low shrubs, and thorns.

When Meng Da arrived, Tian Xin was still studying the schedule and analyzing the planting factors of this year's winter wheat.

Although the reduction and extinction of winter wheat production will not affect one's own food and drink, and will not even affect the minimum living security of the officials and families of the Beifu Prefecture, it will affect other people.

The old people of Guanzhong are also people, and the miscellaneous people who were co-opted by themselves are also people.

It was on the eighth day of the first month of August that he won the decisive battle in Guanzhong, and the solar term on this day was white dew; According to the song of winter wheat in my memory, "White dew is early, cold and dew is late, autumn equinox is the most suitable to plant wheat", and then after half a month of field preparation, the first wheat seeds were sown on the autumn equinox on August 23.

This is to take into account that the climate in Guanzhong and Nanyang is now warmer than that of later generations, so the second crop of wheat seeds was sown between the autumn equinox and the cold dew, and the labor force composed of the army could not be idle during the cold dew solar term, and the third crop of wheat seeds was replanted.

Among them, it was determined that the troops to be repatriated to Hedong and Hebei were only responsible for land consolidation, river canal dredging and other repetitive labor without technology; The sowing was carried out by the army in the Guanzhong area, and the officials of the northern province taught it hand in hand to ensure the quality of the sowing.

Although the first crop of wheat is a little early, it is a big deal to step on the seedlings one more time.

Stepping on the seedlings two or three times is not a fatal hazard.

Worry from time to time, and explain yourself from time to time, I don't know if Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Cao Pi, Sima Yi, these people who are responsible for major matters are also so worried all night.

"Princess, the servant is here."

Tian Xin grabbed the tea bowl and took a sip of strong tea and got up to go to the big tent next to him, and he followed the map in his hand to the big tent and hung it on the tent wall.

This is a road map for the construction of wooden rails planned by Tianxin, as far as the current situation in Guanzhong is concerned, there are Weishui and other water systems for shipping, in fact, the transportation pressure is not heavy.

If the transportation pressure exists, in the next 20 years, it will only be in the west, north, and east, and a wooden track connecting Chencang to Jincheng County will be built in the west, so as to ensure that the soldiers of Guanzhong Beifu can reach Jincheng at high speed and low cost.

If this wooden track is repaired, the entire Liangzhou will be basically stable; Twenty years later, the wooden track was repaired to the Hexi Corridor, and the affairs of the Western Regions were easy to handle.

The key to the governance of the Western Regions is that there is no river to transport materials, it is impossible to assemble a large army, and it is impossible to solve the problem once and for all like ploughing and sweeping the holes.

The wooden track in the north should be repaired to the north, and there is no need to expand it for the time being, so that the Beifu soldiers can use Mizhi as an outpost, and if necessary, they can go to the Hetao area to hunt grass valleys and collect cattle and horses. In the later period, the wooden track was built through Yulin, and then connected with the Wuyuan and Shuofang of the Hetao, so this wooden track was an important livestock trade route.

The east side is simple, as long as a wooden track from Hongnong is built to reach Luoyang, you can quickly and low-cost absorb the material resources of the Central Plains, and increase the economic ties between Guanzhong and Kanto.

As for building a wooden track to Nanyang...... It's too difficult, and you can only repair intermittent wooden rails in the valleys and river valleys of Wuguan Road.

These three Guanzhong radiation outward wood rail line is not in a hurry to start construction, with the current manpower and demand, there is no need to build all, and it is impossible to build together, can only choose to build according to the situation, focusing on a certain aspect of development.

Therefore, before the construction of these three wooden rails, it is necessary to choose a line for Meng Da to practice.

Meng Da entered the tent to salute, Tian Xin was not verbose, pulled Meng Da to stand in front of the tent wall hanging map, pointed to the new wooden track line, and said: "Zidugong, the winter wheat planting has been completed, and more than 30,000 troops are gathering in Lishan to cut down trees, and after the snow falls, they will be transported from the mountains to the flat land with the help of the snow." ”

Following Tian Xin's point, Meng Da can see a V-shaped black and white wooden rail route, which starts from Qipanling in the south, passes through Xinlantian County in the north, and leads to the Wei River on the east bank of Bashui and at the foot of Lishan Mountain.

In fact, there is no need to lead to Weishui, with the flow of Bashui, the wooden rail is connected to Bashui, which can naturally be converted into more traditional and labor-saving water transportation.

It's just that Tian Xin has other considerations, and would rather spend a little more work to build this wooden track that leads directly to Weishui.

Another wooden track starts from Shimen Pass in the south and spreads to Longshouyuan in the northwest, passing through Chanshui, which is a track that leads directly to Chang'an New Town.

Although there is no shadow of the new city, and all roads and lifang plans only stay in Tian Xin's drawings, but the north and bottom have an inevitable attitude towards the construction of the new city, and even the name is available, which is different from the old Chang'an City, and the new city is naturally the new Chang'an.

Either it is called Xin'an, or the old Chang'an City is completely burned to ashes, and the new city takes its place and is directly called Chang'an.

Meng Da heard that 30,000 troops were felling, the scale was too large, and the most important thing for the construction of wooden rails was the drawing and measurement in the early stage. After the wood is cut, it has to be processed for a long time, classified, and different parts are made by using the different textures of various woods.

Therefore, under the large project of collecting wood, it is necessary to build many wood raw material workshops to initially process wood. It is regarded as the prefabrication of wooden rail parts, and then according to the surveying and mapping data, the foundation is expanded and the wooden rail is laid in a splicing way.

Seeing Meng Da's surprised appearance, Tian Xin comforted: "Food is in short supply, and logging is manual work, so although 30,000 people are logging, the efficiency is about 10,000 people. By the time the winter wheat is ripe next year, I will repatriate 20,000 people. The remaining 10,000 people will be repatriated in May of the following year. ”

In this way, the 20,000 people repatriated next year will not be able to participate in the important spring and summer farming, which will affect Cao Wei's grain income.

At the same time, it also let these people see the advantages of winter wheat, accelerate the process of wheat planting in Hebei, and let Cao Wei have more grain and hold on a little more.

Meng Da was obviously not a simple-minded person, and immediately thought of the importance of these 30,000 young and middle-aged laborers to Cao Wei.

For the enemy, it is better to be an enemy who is familiar with each other and is easy to bully.

Killing the current enemy will change to a more unpredictable enemy, and the time will be in a hurry to deal with it...... Why is this so painful?

It's better to keep the vitality of this Cao Wei from the beginning, cover your head and develop Guanlong, and wait for Cao Wei to fail...... Just receive it again.

Self-respect?

Meng Da's thinking was divergent, and he asked bluntly: "Publicly, if the Wei people are treacherous, if this generation is driven to cut down and work, I am afraid that the matter of the wooden track will be leaked to the enemy country, should we take strict precautions?" If this is the case, I am afraid that the construction process will be affected. ”

"There is no need to take precautions, the four states of Kanto will also build wooden rails, and this thing is not a deep secret, so it is inevitable to learn it for the enemy country."

Tian Xin looked serious: "In this battle, the Wei State craftsman Ma Jun was captured, and there are two such characters, Zidugong doesn't have to care, just concentrate on doing things." ”

"Yes, what the public said is very true, it is a certain overthinking."

Meng Da smiled and apologized, it was inevitable to slander in his heart, the world's skilled craftsmen are scarce people, and the prime minister used Pu Yuan, a scholar, as a craftsman; I use craftsmen as scholars here.

The captured Ma Jun and other outstanding craftsmen in Wu Qianjun were arranged to be sent to Xiahou Kingdom to learn the existing advanced technology as soon as possible, but Tian Xin did not see Tian Xin treat Ma Jun, a skilled craftsman who 'has one and two', as an ordinary person.
