Chapter 291: Repairing Bridges and Repairing Roads
Li Wenyuan was silent after listening, Zhuang Fudi was the general he personally ordered to go on the expedition, and he was chosen because Zhang Juntai was also leading the army to patrol the Central Asian region in the west, and he had been on guard against the counterattack from the Western Turks and the counterattack of the Sassanid Empire. Therefore, as an honor student from a military academy like Zhang Juntai, Zhuang Fudi naturally took the position that should have been garrisoned by Zhang Juntai on the eastern front. In fact, one of these two people is extremely good at strategy, while the other is good at seizing the moment on the battlefield and adapting to the situation. This should have been a very compatible pair, but it is a pity that these two are very stubborn and unwilling to admit that each other's ideas are correct. Therefore, if you want these two people to cooperate, unless the heaven and earth are reversed, the sun will not come out in the west, because of this situation, Zhang Juntai and Zhuang Fudi will be placed on both sides of the force by Li Wenyuan, and Li Wenyuan himself will sit in the middle to coordinate the overall situation.
However, although the two men have completely opposite temperaments and are both very stubborn, fortunately, these fights are only limited to the two men who get together to argue about tactics. And once on the battlefield, these two people will calm down, and the calmness even makes people feel a little frightened. They are able to analyze all the information they have without any emotion, and choose the most effective solution to the situation based on the knowledge they have in their heads, whether radical or conservative, and what works is the best.
Thinking of this, Li Wenyuan was temporarily relieved in his heart. He doesn't have any strategic plans that are too hurried now, so it is okay for Zhuang Fudi to keep the anxious situation on the eastern front for a long time, and he can confuse the enemy through this appearance, so that the surrounding people and even the various forces in the Central Plains region thousands of miles away can feel that the actual combat effectiveness of his army is not as strong as rumored, and the reason why he can defeat the Turks is only because of good luck. It would be great if those people could think like that. Li Wenyuan couldn't wait to let all the forces in the world look down on the army under his command, so that he could surprise them when he faced them off in the future, and catch them off guard.
So Li Wenyuan is no longer urging Zhuang Fudi, not to mention that he has accumulated a large number of official things in his own hands that he has not done. Although Xue Renyue was able to handle most of the affairs in Central Asia, there were some major matters that Li Wenyuan still needed to make decisions about. Although there are not so many major events, even if there is only one major event in a county town in the vast Central Asian region, the accumulation is enough for Li Wenyuan to deal with it for a while. What's more, a county town can't have only one major event, so after Li Wenyuan solved the worries in his heart, he devoted himself to the relevant construction in his territory.
Due to the topography of grasslands and mountains, the newly conquered Central Asian region had to think about many possible future transportation problems at the beginning of the establishment of the prefecture and county, as well as the problem of mineral deposits buried under the current land. Li Wenyuan didn't want his territory to be like the United States during the gold rush, because of a gold mine and a city quickly appeared, and then with the depletion of the gold mine, the city slowly became a ghost town without people. Therefore, when establishing state cities and counties, it was natural to refer to the methods of later generations. Only after taking into account all the factors will the final site be selected, but this does not mean that the establishment will be over after the site selection is completed, and official roads will be built between these state cities and counties. After all, during the rainy season, many straw mats on the grassland that can usually walk will turn into big smoke bubbles. If a person accidentally falls inside, they often struggle to climb out for fear reasons, but the more a person struggles in the big smoke bubble, the faster the fall will be. So often, within a quarter of an hour, the person who fell into the big bubble of smoke had already lost his life. After all, once a person is buried in the chest, then death is not far away. In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to build official roads in various prefectures, prefectures, and counties. However, at any time, the construction of roads and bridges is an extremely expensive expenditure, and once the amount of expenditure exceeds the upper limit of the number that Xue Renyue can use, Li Wenyuan needs to come forward to make a decision in person.
According to the construction habits of the Western Regions in their own territory, each project must have three alternatives. Therefore, Li Wenyuan made choices and instructions one by one for the construction of each official road, and then these documents will be sent to Li Wenyuan's newly established Ministry of Finance, which will verify the funds and allocate funds to Xue Renyue in Central Asia. Then Xue Renyue took the money to build official roads and bridges according to the plan. With the expansion of Li Wenyuan's territory day by day, the Ministry of Commerce alone can no longer meet the financial operations of Li Wenyuan. Therefore, after inviting Empress Xiao, Li Wenyuan took the opportunity to propose to divest the financial rights from the hands of the Ministry of Commerce, and set up a separate financial department to take charge of the financial operations in the territory.
After all, one is military power, and the other is wealth. Either of these two things is too large, it will undoubtedly pose a great threat to the rule of the royal family. Li Wenyuan is now promoting the democratic process in his own domain, and no one can be emperor in the republic. However, if these two departments are too powerful, they can still affect the normal operation of the democratic regime. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, the financial power was stripped from the hands of the Ministry of Commerce as early as possible, and a separate department was established.
In Central Asia, except for roads and bridges. One of the most important things is the construction of the reservoir. There is no shortage of rain and no shortage of groundwater in Central Asia. But in some very special areas, the water table is very deep. So it's a lot cheaper to build a new reservoir than it would have cost to dig a well deeper. Therefore, after having the experience of water conservancy construction in the Western Regions, Xue Renyue was familiar with planning hundreds of reservoirs in Central Asia. After reporting the plan to Li Wenyuan, Li Wenyuan cut down some reservoirs in overlapping areas in combination with the map surveyed and mapped by the military commanders, and then nodded and agreed to the construction of these reservoir projects.
In addition to these, there is also Xue Renyue who organized immigrants into Central Asia to seize the time to replant some cash crops, and plant as many as they can. In this way, when it comes to autumn, you will be able to make some profit anyway, and you will not waste a whole year in vain.
