The Yellow River water control project in China is a project of the century, with a large investment, but it has been accurately calculated.

After 20 years of development and accumulation, Huaxia has a certain foundation for industry. In agriculture, in addition to the widespread use of livestock, fertilizers and pesticides have also been used. This makes the production efficiency of agriculture very high, and it is possible for one person to cultivate more than ten acres of land and produce 10,000 catties of grain or more potatoes.

In industry, steam engine technology has basically matured, and various basic equipment has also been produced. Basic industrial products are widely used in society, which also greatly improves social productivity.

By the twenty-second year of China, most of the slaves in China had basically left their nationality, which also increased their enthusiasm for production and thus increased social wealth.

After rational planning, although the Yellow River water control project has diverted some of the social productive forces, it has not affected the development of society.

On the contrary, because of the state's investment in this project, it stimulates the further development of industrial research and expands more industrial output. These research and outputs were fed back into the agricultural field, accelerating the development of agriculture, and at the same time, it also began to liberate the agricultural population and began to transform the social industry.

At the beginning, the Yellow River water control project mainly used manpower and animal power, and later on, it was mainly based on various machinery and equipment. In this process, Yellow River University has really grown. China's heavy industry system has also become more and more perfect.

The start of the Yellow River water control project in China is undoubtedly the most joyful. As a result, Xirong's pressure dropped sharply, but instead of recuperating, Chizhong began to seize every minute and second, calculating every portion of money and food for construction and growth.

Their slave capture party went west deep into the snow-capped mountains of the plateau, and the farthest point is said to have reached the area farther west of the Tien Shan Mountains, where they captured a large number of people. This brought the population of Xirong to 700,000 in the 30th year of China, and even increasing.

Their investment in Zhengguoqu, Shudao and Dujiangyan is counted. Therefore, it only took Li Bing four years to build Dujiangyan, and they took seven years.

However, after the completion of Dujiangyan, the effect was almost immediate, and the swamps in Shuzhong gradually turned into plains, so that the fertile fields in Xirong increased innumerable.

This made Chizhong slightly increase his investment in Shu Dao and Zheng Guoqu. Not much, though.

The increase in fertile land in Shuzhong did not make the Xirong people richer. Therefore, the investment in building cities, ordnance, domesticating livestock, and accumulating grain has basically reached the extreme of their income.

In ten years, Sijon built eleven cities. In addition, there are countless military villages close to the Chinese frontier. Almost all of these walled cities were made of brick and stone, and they were so strong that they could not be opened.

The slaves who mined in Xijon worked day and night, the flames of the blacksmith workshops kept going on day and night, and the ordnance was anointed and maintained, and the warehouses were stacked in rows and far in sight.

It's just a slave or an ordinary farmer, still using broken or rotten tools.

The livestock farming industry in Xijon is extremely developed. After judging that it was impossible for China to advance westward in the near future, Chizhong once sold a large number of livestock to China. In exchange for countless materials in Huaxia, he hoped to promote the great cause of water control in Huaxia in this way, so that the Chinese people would completely fall into this quagmire. In fact, most of those animals just enriched the dining table of the Chinese people.

Xirong's grain is completely nationalized, and all new grain must be put into storage. Farmers can only eat potatoes that are difficult to preserve or old grains that can be replaced.

The implementation of this policy has indeed allowed Xirong to completely control the direction of each of its grains, allowing them to make full use of all the resources in the country for construction.

Under this rigid management, life became more and more difficult for the people of Xijon. The workers on the bank of Zheng Guoqu watched the two of them drinking meat porridge, and their eyes were green.

After more than ten years of wind and frost, the young man is so old that there are not a few teeth left. His grandson, Ha You, has grown into a proud man.

The man took a sip of porridge, slipped his beard, looked at the wolf workers next to him who were gnawing on the blackened dead dough cakes baked by old grain, and opened his mouth and said, "Let them all come and take a sip, they all call me master." ”

Ha You added a spoonful to the Qiufu's bowl, stood up and said, "Bring the bowl over, don't cook much, one spoon per person, don't complain after dividing it." ”

The wolf people swarmed over, but they consciously lined up in front of the pot. Ha You put half a spoonful of porridge water in each person's bowl, and the people happily took the bowl aside. Soak the cake in the porridge water before eating, and the cake will become salty and flavorful, which is considered a delicacy.

After the people dispersed, the man held the bowl and said, "O iniquity, how can we have suffered such a sin since we followed the king thirty or forty years ago!" Now they don't even have enough to eat, and it's better when they're in the jungle. ”

Heyou said: "I heard them say that the Shu Road has been opened, and the grain in Shu is constantly being transported out, I thought they would have a better life, but I don't know that it is still like this." If I had given them more manpower here, they had opened this canal two years earlier, and countless fertile fields were available around it, so why would they be trapped like this. ”

The man's eyes flickered for a moment and then he smiled: "I'm afraid it's all for their leader." ”

Speaking of this, Ha You came to his senses: "I heard that this is true. That Hu Xiao is said to have lived an extremely luxurious life. Don't eat meat that isn't domesticated, don't drink wine that isn't Chaolin, and don't wear cloth that isn't Hongan...... It is said that Killer Whale City has a special ship to send seafood to Shenguang City, and Shenguang City dug one hundred and fifty ice caves here, storing ice in winter, just so that he can eat fresh seafood in summer, which costs ...... Gee. ”

Qiu Fu smiled: "It's not bad, didn't this money and grain just happen to me to earn Huaxia?" ”

The grandfather and grandson laughed for a while, and after a while, He You lowered his voice and said: "I heard that this Hu Xiao drinks and has fun every day, and now he has collapsed, and he is looking for a doctor to save him in Chaolin City." ”

"And this?" The man's face turned solemn.

Ha You nodded and said, "I heard about it when I went into the city to get meat. At that time, I also saw a lot of fast horses going out of the city. ”

The man put down the bowl and said, "I'll write a letter, you can help me send it back to Chaolin City, and I must hand it over to the king yourself." ”

Ha You was a little stunned: "The king naturally has someone from the intelligence department to inform you about this matter, so we don't have to interfere, right?" And I'm gone, what are you going to do? ”

Qiu Fu said angrily: "The old man is very tough, and he can't live without you?" ”

"That's not what I meant......"

"Hmph, I know you care about me, but what are you afraid of? These people are all my disciples, and they don't even dare to grab our porridge on weekdays, so they dare to touch me when you leave? Aren't they afraid that the king will trouble them? There are also a few old buddies of the Seven Trees here. They can take care of me. And when you come to build the canal, don't you have a secret order from the king? By the end, the humber had lowered his voice.

Ha You heard that there was a secret order from the king, and although he was a little reluctant, he didn't dare to refute the false man.

The man went into the house and wrote a letter, sealed it in a leather seal, and handed it to Ha You to keep close to him. Although he doesn't know much, it's rare that he didn't let Ha Woo write it this time, obviously this matter is extremely important, or he has been prepared for a long time.

The man instructed, "This time you will go back, and you will say that the king's wedding is coming soon, and you will go back to celebrate the king's holiday." Catch a car and take Mi Niang and the children back by the way. ”

Mi Niang is Heyou's daughter-in-law, a female slave girl given to him by Chizhong a few years ago, and the two got along well, so they got married here. Now she has given birth to two children for Ha You.

Ha You said: "This is not necessary, right?" The canal will be completed in half a year at most, so we'll go back together when we're done. She stays and can take care of you. ”

The man said with a cold face: "You are also a person who doesn't know how to hurt people." You tell her every day that Chaolin is prosperous, and now that you are back, if you don't take her with you, can she have no complaints in her heart? And my eldest great-grandson is already six years old, it is the age of going to school, Chaolin City will start school in a few months, he happens to know some children in Chaolin, and then go to school together. Do you want him to go to school until next year? ”

Ha You thought about this as well, so he went back to the village not far from the construction site to pack his bags, and the next morning he drove the carriage and took his daughter-in-law and children to say goodbye to the husband.

The husband touched the heads of the two children, full of reluctance. Other Chinese craftsmen also came to see them off, and by the way, they also asked Ha You to carry letters.

Seeing that everyone was talking about something else, the man took off the watch on his wrist and stuffed it into his great-grandson's arms, and eagerly urged Ha You to go on the road: "Be careful about everything on the road, don't be greedy for the scenery on the road, and miss the return trip." ”

These words also meant that Ha You hurried to deliver the letter, and Ha You did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly drove the carriage on the road.

Watching the carriage go away, the man whispered to the people beside him: "Thank you." ”
