12. Break open the mountain and river weirs

"Li Niang, you seem to have lost some weight after coming to Xingyuan Mansion." The next day, when Yun Shao and Yun He were fiddling with the garden in the narrow alley, Yun Shao asked with concern.

Yunhe shook his head with a smile, saying that maybe he was a little uncomfortable, and then Shuangshui Lingling's eyes stared at Sister with some curiosity.

"What?"

"No, nothing." Yunhe hung his head with a little bit of concern.

Then her jade-white fingers dotted on the small seedling leaves in the nursery, until a buzzing little ladybug flew up.

On the flower corridor over there, Zhi Hui, who passed by with a food plate, slowed down, and stopped for a moment on Yunhe, who was still unconscious.

Half a month later, at the mountain and river weir in the north of Xingyuan Mansion, many soldiers of the White Grass Army stood in the center on the raised weir embankment, holding iron woks with various straight handles or cranks, and first dug a short gap.

The sound of the water suddenly roared, and the uncontrollable water carried the black mud, and splashed out frantically along the gap, like a water dragon, sprayed to the opposite side of the weir embankment, and then the soldiers of the White Grass Army shouted in groups of three or five, reminding each other, scattering to both sides to retreat, and every time they retreated, they dug a gap, and then sprayed out a water dragon.

Soon, water dragons shot out from all sections of the mountain and river weirs, and gradually the body of the embankment let out a wail of cracking and leaking.

Gao Yue, Liu Demur, Xie Shanji, Ming Xuan and others standing on the red cliff clearly saw that more and more small streams of water were splashing out from all parts of the mountain and river weirs, cutting a square of soil and rolling down.

Finally, a thunderous thunderbolt exploded, and more than a dozen small gaps were washed down into a large gap, and the turbid water roared, passing through the mountain and river weirs, and soon spread wantonly along the red cliff until the northwest of Xingyuan Mansion, and the originally slightly white land was soaked into the boundless Zeguo, and the color was reddish-yellow, slightly black.

"Next year, there will be a mix of rice and wheat here." Gao Yue pointed to this piece of Zeguo and said.

This is almost a capitalless industry - because Baocheng Chiya Pass is a piece of marinated land, so the land price is about equal to zero, and there are no households to cultivate here - so Gao Yue allocated seventy percent of his land to Baicao Juntun and Zhou Bingjuntun, and the remaining two percent were divided into "Xuetian" and "Zhitian" (the crops were harvested to build schools and provide additional food for officials), and Yicheng, Gao Yue encouraged his cronies around him, of course, to take possession of his own home.

In order to obtain labor, Gao Yue simply changed all the united children in the state to Tianshi, and the rations, vegetables, sauces, and medicines they received from their service were provided as usual.

After the dam burst and the shipyard of Xingyuan Fucheng was also nearly completed, Gao Yue's previous "volunteer" recruiters from Shudi, that is, hundreds of "boatmen" selected from poor families in the lower third class, had begun to accept timber from small boats that traveled along the Han River from Yangzhou and began to build boats.

This ship, called the "Zhijiang Boat", has a carrying capacity of about 500 Hu (about 22 tons now), the ship type drawings are provided by Liu Yan, and the instructor is also Liu Yan's old command - in the past, Liu Yan was fully responsible for the transportation between the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Huaishui, and could recruit many skilled craftsmen.

In addition, the level of the shipwright that Gao Yue got from Shu was not low (during the Tang and Song dynasties, Fengxiang and Shu were both famous inland shipbuilding bases in the country), so the whole work process was very smooth.

On the Tianhan Tower that has just been completed, facing the cool wind at the end of summer, Gao Yue stands on a high place, looking at the sparkling Han River, there are ships with various sails erected on the wharf in the south of the city, many small merchants in Yangzhou and Jinzhou have begun to rush to Xingyuan Mansion to carry out lively short-distance trade, where you can buy Dongchuan salt, local rice, as well as tea and brocade from Shudi, of course, Sanchuan Xingying and Puwang's mansion, migrated to Xingyuan Mansion City, but also brought great vitality and consumption power to the city.

Taking advantage of the fact that the summer water has not yet fallen, Han Rong's four Qianhu boats also traced the river to the city of Xingyuan Mansion, their towering masts are stretched with eighty wide bamboo sails, and the ten crimson soft sails at the top of the mast are fluttering and rotating, and they arrived at the wharf in the south of the city in the cheers of the people, and the momentum of this big ship makes all the people of Xingyuan Mansion feel shocked and excited.

"It's great that the people and the soldiers have seen this kind of big ship, what does it represent? It represents wealth, and when the rocky beach in Yunxiang is solved, the ships of Xiangyang City, Ezhou City, Jiangling Mansion, Hongzhou, and Tanzhou can carry all kinds of goods to and from our Xingyuan Mansion to trade - there will always be a day when Xingyuan Mansion will also build a thousand ships of the same size as the Xuanzhou Shipyard! Gao Yue on the Tianhan Tower was full of hesitation.

Soon, the large equipment that broke the rocky beach from Chenggu was transported onto the four Qianhu ships.

Gao Yue then invited the two hundred Xuanrun crossbowmen sent by Han Yun to take Zhang Xi to escort the four ships, and then he and Li Wei, Wei Ping, Guo Zaizhen, Gao Gu, and Ming Xuan, together with two hundred craftsmen, "Without further ado, immediately march to Yunxiang." ”

When leaving, Gao Yue stood at the bow of the ship, and could clearly see the people who came to see off on the wall of Xingyuan Mansion and the Han River, as well as the umbrella cover of King Pu's guard of honor.

"Shao Yin is going to subdue the beach god."

"It's amazing, I don't know how many ships have capsized in that rocky beach!"

"I don't know if the second pole Shaoyin can have good luck this time."

People are talking and talking.

"Songqing, Songqing, be careful when you go!" His wife Yun Shao was standing on the pavilion of Tianhan Tower with his wife and sister Yun He, waving the Jinpa in his hand, reluctant to give up.

"Brother-in-law, come back safely!" Yunhe was wearing a peach-colored shirt, and he was also silently praying for Gao Yue's blessings.

"Don't worry, Ah Ni, Wei Daotian and Zhi Hui are by my side." As the winch rumbled with the waves, Gao Yue also waved his hand at the location of his wife and sister-in-law.

At this time, a gust ......of wind, carrying the smell of lacquer on the wooden beams of Tianhan Tower, blew into Yun Shao's nose, and she couldn't help but feel dizzy and nauseous.

"Sister, are you alright?" Yunhe hurriedly hugged her.

"It's okay, it's okay, it seems to be." Yun Shao felt that his heart was moving, so he said to Ah Mei with a happy face, "Li Niang, I feel like I'm pregnant again." ”

After speaking, Yun Shao felt embarrassed, she was afraid that Yun He would ask what was going on.

But under the sunset by the Han River, Yunhe's face turned even redder.

That night, she was in the small side hall of the middle hall, and her brother-in-law Litian could hear the sowing of seeds clearly, and of course she knew how her sister was pregnant.

After sending Gao Yue away, Yun Shao's reaction became more and more intense in the next few days, she remembered that when she was a child, she felt nauseous and retching a month later, but this time the little life was very naughty.

At this time, the four Qianhu ships where Gao Yue was located had already braved the wind and waves and arrived at the Hanyin realm.
