Yin sighed and said: "Hey, okay, you and I are both ministers of the king, so we can only do our best to complete this matter, it seems that you and I will not be able to be idle in the past few years." ”

Wei said with a smile: "Yin Shangshu said reasonably, he is also a minister of Daqi, and he should share his worries for the king, and this matter is also a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, Yin Shangshu is an old minister of the king, he should be familiar with the king's temperament, and he wants to do so much, since he came to you today, he should enjoy the moon and drink, and don't talk about political affairs, don't talk about political affairs." ”

Yin Dao: "Good! Today, the moon is full, and you and I will drink and admire the moon. ”

A few days later, an official document sent from Chang'an City was sent to Qigu Second City by fast horse.

In Chang'an City, after the notice posted by the government, and the patient explanation of the officials.

The people of Chang'an City all understood the new policy of the imperial court, but the people reacted mediocre and did not have the slightest intention of donating money and materials.

For two days, the household yamen was deserted, and no one even came to consult.

Yang Hao was extremely disappointed by this, which shows that he deliberately wants the people under his rule to be able to eat, clothe, and live with dignity, but now it seems that it is just wishful thinking.

When Yang Hao was a little disheartened, Shaoyan ran to the palace in a panic.

"King, King!"

Yang Hao's heart sank again when he saw this, and guessed if there was something annoying happening?

But this time he was wrong.

"What happened again?"

Seeing Yang Hao's ugly face, Shao Yan couldn't take a break, and hurriedly said, "King! This time it's a good thing. ”

Yang Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "A good thing? ”

Shaoyan said: "King, early that morning, as soon as the household yamen opened, there were more than 100 people who came to the household department to sign up, at first the minister was also a little surprised, after asking, I learned that these people have children to study in the school, these people at least donated half of this year's income, and even did not ask for returns, the king, I am the people of Daqi, it is really my luck to be in Daqi." ”

Yang Hao sat up from the chair and said, "Really! ”

"The minister doesn't dare to deceive!"

Shaoyan bowed.

Yang Hao couldn't help himself with excitement, and said with a fist: "Okay, good!" If the order is issued, it must not be owed to the people, and whoever has donated how much must be carefully recorded, and how to do it must be handled in accordance with the formulated policy. ”

Shao Yan said: "The king can rest assured, the minister knows that the household officials have recorded the people's materials in detail, and they will not treat the people badly." ”

Yang Hao nodded: "Okay, you go back to the household department now, if there is new news, send someone to spread it immediately." ”

Shaoyan bowed and said, "The minister retired." ”

After that, he didn't even bother to wipe his sweat, so he ran towards the outside of the palace in a hurry.

At this time, in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, dozens of students from the school were shouting with their necks pulled.

"The people of Daqi, Daqi is not thin to the people, now Daqi is in difficulty, it is the time for us to repay Daqi to return to the king, if you sit idly by, you still have a conscience, you have forgotten how we can have today's life?"

As more and more people watched, the more the students talked, the more excited they became, their vocabulary was poor, but they still said that the people of Chang'an City were self-conscious, and those who had signed up to donate looked at these compatriots with contempt, and some of them were emotional, and even began to scold.

I don't know which person's conscience found it, and walked towards the household yamen in a series of eyes.

With the first one to take the lead, more and more people gathered in front of the yamen of the Chang'an household department, which made the yamen, which seemed quite spacious in the past, suddenly a little crowded.

In order to speed up the record, the household officials directly gave up the bamboo slips and took out the extremely expensive parchment from the household warehouse.

Even so, until dark, the people in front of the yamen did not disperse.

This state lasted for three days, and in Chang'an City, which has a population of tens of thousands, it can be said that no one chose to sit idly by, even if the least donated was a hundred catties of grain.

Tens of thousands of people and thousands of people have received an incomparably large amount of materials.

As long as all these materials are collected, let alone build a dam, it will even be enough to support the pipes currently under construction until they are fully completed.

The news of Chang'an City1 spread extremely quickly in the hinterland of Qi State, and although the people of the other two cities were not as wealthy as the people of Chang'an, their enthusiasm for donation was no less than that of the people of Chang'an.

Yang Hao was extremely pleased, which showed that even though people were good to him, the people of Daqi had completely identified with the country from their hearts.

The key to the formation of a nation is mutual identity, Yang Hao does not know when Daqi will transform from a feudal centralized country into a feudal nation-state, but the people of Daqi let him see this hope.

The cohesion of a nation-state is incomparably terrible, no matter whether the Great Qi dies or not, future generations will have a common name Qi people, this title no longer calls whether you change the dynasty, or foreign invasion, Qi people are always Qi people.

The support of the people made Yang Hao completely worryless, looking at the records sent by the household department, Yang Hao felt that these materials had far exceeded his expectations.

To this end, Yang Hao plans to take out some of these materials and set up a nursing home in the three cities to take care of the disabled, the elderly and orphans who have lost their ability to live.

What Yang Hao can guarantee now is to save them from freezing and starving to death, as for a comfortable life, it is impossible to guarantee, but as soon as this policy came out, he had a new title in the hearts of the people, Eternal Renjun.

Its prestige even directly surpassed those legendary ancient sage kings, and the people of Daqi even felt that even if the legendary Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was resurrected, the great god Nuwa could not compare to everything Yang Hao had done.

After all, what Daqi brings to them is benefits that can be seen and touched, and what is more important to ordinary people.

In the middle of September in Hongwu, when the land of Qi was happy to harvest autumn, the personnel of the Ministry of Engineering who explored the construction of the dam had completed the topographic mapping around the dam.

In terms of map surveying and mapping, Qi Guo already has a set of more professional methods, and Yang Hao put forward the concept of contour lines for the first time.

Using this method, the three-dimensional terrain structure can be intuitively described in a two-dimensional plane, which is particularly important for the production of sand tables.

With the results of exploration, the Ministry of Engineering spent a week making a sand table of about seven or eight square meters.

Using this sand table as a reference, coupled with Yang Hao's participation, the construction of the dam began to be discussed.

Yang Hao does not want to build a modern dam, but just needs a dam that can control the flow of water, so that the difficulty of the project is much smaller, Daqi now has no cement, in the process of building the dam, can only maximize the ability of the wood and stone structure to the perfection, only in this way he dares to put it into use.
