In the midst of the carnival of the people, Li Chengji led all the officials to the Hero Mountain, twenty miles east of Malu City.

It was originally a nameless hill, and the terrain was not high, only more than 500 meters. It is also located in the transition zone between the desert and the green state, so in addition to the wild grass in the east and the west, there is a large area of bare Gobi on the mountain.

Under normal circumstances, except for the occasional herdsmen who come here to graze their cattle and the caravans who pass through the area, no one else comes here to pay their respects.

But Li Chengji just values the terrain that can overlook the whole city of Malu!

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry was ordered to build a Gongbei building complex covering an area of 100 acres here, which was used to bury ordinary people who made outstanding contributions to the Khorasan country, soldiers who died in battle, and officials who served for Khorasan.

In fact, in the world of Muslims, the Gongbei tomb building, which has different functional buildings such as mosques, prayer halls, and flower halls, should be used to bury respected religious elders. But in Lee Seungji's view, those who made outstanding contributions to the rise of Khorasan cannot but be remembered.

Therefore, a luxurious burial complex was built to house everyone.

And on the top of the mountain, a monument with a height of more than 30 meters will be built. The name of the person who was buried is engraved on it! National festivals are held here on major festivals.

It's just that at the moment, these are still assumptions. The nameless hill that was changed to Hero Mountain is still a stone mountain full of barren grass and Gobi.

But even so, Li Chengji still led the civil and military officials to come. For the sake of burying a person.

"Bow!" , Mu Erguo looked at the coffin that was slowly put into the tomb, pinched his throat, and said loudly.

Ruhua led her son, and she couldn't cry anymore. But when Liu Yi brought Juer Khan's holy decree from Daliao, he also brought Li Dayi's ashes. It is also hot weather, and the body should not be stored for too long. So before they came, they were burned to ashes.

Of course! There is also the reason why Li Dayi's corpse is too terrifying. Due to the severe torture, the corpse was covered with dense scars. After death, those places were the first to fester. So that it looks like it makes people's scalps tingle by looking white.

In order not to stimulate the emotions of Li Chengji and others, it is clear that out of sight.

Other arrested members of the Division have also been released. Like Wang Gui, in order to cover the escape of Li Xiao and Li Chengxue, he fell into the hands of the Liao army. Later, although he was severely tortured, he finally hung his life.

This time, in order to ease the relationship with Lee Seungji, he was also released.

But his body was injured too badly, and he couldn't recover in less than half a year. Therefore, he first sent people to Balasagon and took care of them on the spot. After getting better for a while, I will take him back to Khorasan to recuperate slowly.

After bowing in unison, Mu Erguo said in a loud voice: "The salute is over! ”。 Then the sand quickly poured into the tomb, slowly covering the coffin.

Li Chengji also bowed three times to express his condolences to Li Dayi. At the same time, he personally picked up the pen and wrote an epitaph for Li Dayi.

What a grace! Looking at the flowers, I couldn't stop my tears. Li Gao and others were all moved.

Subsequently, in front of everyone, Li Chengji instructed the departments under the Ministry of Industry to complete the construction of the Hero Mountain Cemetery diligently. He also ordered the Penal Department to do its best to transfer the prisoners who committed the crime here. The money and grain department of the household department should also cooperate with the money and grain. There is also the purchase of slaves, which should also be accelerated.

Although the territory of Khorasan has abolished the slave trade. But in this day and age, the best way to obtain manpower was to plunder and buy and sell. Due to the restrictions of Khorasan law, it was impossible to plunder the people into slavery.

Therefore, only the slave trade can obtain manpower as quickly as possible.

There is also the recruitment of a certain number of people and their participation in the construction. If you have this salary, you will naturally have to give it. It would certainly be higher than the prisoners who didn't want money and the slaves who bought it. So the number will not be too much, so as not to increase the financial pressure on the Treasury Division.

In addition to this, he also proposed a luxury! That is, to build a connecting canal between the Amu Darya River and the Mulghab River.

In later generations, the former Soviet Union built a Grand Canal between the Amu Darya River and the Murghab River. And it stretches all the way south to Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. The entire Karakum Desert has also added tens of thousands of green states.

In addition, due to the large amount of water, it is also possible to trade. So that the economy along the canal has been greatly developed.

However, this also makes the amount of water flowing into the Aral Sea less than the Amu Darya River, which has caused the area of the Aral Sea to shrink one after another. The problem of desertification and salinization of the land has also begun to become a nightmare in the lands around the Aral Sea.

Although Li Chengji is not an environmentalist, he also knows the consequences of ecological damage. So he didn't need to build such a long canal through the Karakum Desert, as in the former Soviet Union.

First, the temperature in the desert area is too high, and a large amount of water evaporates in vain. Second, such a large project consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. With the current economic size of Khorasan, it cannot support such a large project.

So he only built a canal! And only connect Male and Auntie, so that between the two, you can avoid the trouble of detouring.

In order to avoid a large amount of water evaporation, he also decided to take the form of a qanats and build part of the river underground.

Hero Mountain is located on the necessary place of the canal, and it will change from a barren land to a fertile green state. The number of pedestrians and business travelers passing by here will gradually increase. Where Hero Mountain is located, there is also the foundation for the development of a town.

This project is much larger than the Heroes Mountain Cemetery. The number of people needed is no less than 100,000. In terms of time, not to mention. But the biggest difficulty was the technical problems encountered during construction.

Fortunately, gunpowder has been continuously improved, and the obstacles of the natural environment will be reduced a lot.

And Lee Seung-ji was already planning to buy slaves from the Mongols.

Anyway, after a series of annexation battles, the Mongols had tens of thousands of subordinates. They are all private people in the hands of each Nayan, and they are private property. It can be used to buy and sell, and you can also earn some gold and silver.

I believe that those Nayan people are willing to do this business.

What's more, in a few years, the Mongol war for gold will begin. And the scale, one time bigger than the other. When the time comes, the people of the Central Plains will be like fish on a sticky board, slaughtered by others. Life is like a mustard, it is better than that.

Li Chengji has long wanted to change the intricate ethnic relations in Central Asia, so getting some people from the Central Plains over has always been his idea hidden deep in his heart.

But there are a lot of factors involved! Like politically! In Genghis Khan's vision, he definitely knew that the increase in population would help one side's forces. Therefore, in order to buy the population from the Mongols, it is necessary to find a convincing argument for Genghis Khan.

At a distance, Khorasan is too far away from Mongolia. Even if you want to buy and sell people, it is difficult to get such a large number of people.

Therefore, the implementation of this plan requires a very complete and detailed plan. The issues involved are also multifaceted. It is even more complicated to solve.

Fortunately, with the current conditions, Li Chengji does not need to think about this issue. After all, until Khorasan was not directly connected to Mongolia, the possibility of such a plan being implemented was not high.

Therefore, Lee Seungji only mentioned the prospect of building the aqueduct and the significance of the Heroic Mountain cemetery to Khorasan after it was completed. In the midst of a congratulatory voice, he returned to Malu.
