Yang Chong did not evade, and said with a sharp glint in his eyes: "It depends on whether the King of Chu is ready to return to Chang'an or sit in Jiangdu." ”

"Go back to Chang'an." At the critical moment, Du Fuwei did not hesitate at all, staying in Jiangdu, his own Shangshu order became an honor, since he had no intention of rebelling, why let people guess. Yang Chong nodded and said: "Then it's decided, after defeating Jiangdu, I will send Qu Tutong to serve as the left-behind guard, and the southeast province will have Li Jing and Fu Gongyou as the chief and deputy managers, and the Jianghuai army will first set up a separate guard, and then set up a guard when it hits Jiangnan, with Fu Gongyou and Wang Xiong as the generals." ”

The Hexi Army is different from other armies, they are all veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and then establish a guard establishment, Du Fuwei knew that Yang Chong's price was not low, and agreed on the spot. The next day, in the political affairs hall, everyone passed this resolution, and when Du Fuwei returned, Cui Kaiyuan would take charge of Shangshu Province; Feng Fu Gongyou was the Duke of Danyang County, Wang Xiong was appointed as the Duke of Liuhe County, Li Baiyao was appointed as the county guard of Danyang, and Kan Ling was the county guard of Xiapi.

When the imperial historians heard the news, they spoke out against it, but the bigwigs were silent, Du Fuwei left like this, and Yang Chong disappeared immediately, this time there was no expedition, just to inspect the people's situation near Chang'an, and go out early and return late. The strange thing is that as soon as Yang Chong returned to Chang'an, the discussion about Luoyang stopped abruptly, which made people have to suspect that the excitement of the crowd at that time, if nothing else, was to ask Yang Chong to return to Chang'an.

Yang Chong is not so much about inspection, but about wandering, in the blink of an eye, Yang Chong took Zhang Guolao, Hao Ming, Sima Caizhang, Tianqi, Yuan Hongzhao, Yuan Junbao, Zhang Liang, pretending to be a big family, specially went to Kunming Pond in the southwest of Chang'an City to see the Cao Canal, two hundred cavalry guards far away on the side of the road.

The autumn wind blows the water of Kunming Pond, the lotus flowers have begun to shrink, the sky is dark, only the water birds chirp and sweep through the pool, sometimes sliding out of the water waves on the water waves; More than a dozen fishing boats are fishing, nets up and down, busy non-stop. The artificial canal dug by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Caoqu, the canal starts from Kunming Pond, flows through Weinan, Huayin to Tongguan in the northeast, leads directly to the Yellow River, is 300 miles long, accepts the rivers such as Chan, Ba, Hui and Chishui along the way, not only the water volume is sufficient, the shipping is convenient, but also irrigates more than 10,000 hectares of farmland on both sides of the canal.

Yang Chong felt the wind of Kunming Lake, so cool, closed his eyes to feel it, and then opened his eyes, he felt that the scenery in front of him was extremely beautiful. Yang Chong understands that he is just a drop in the ocean, no matter when, it is impossible to finish his heart for thousands of people in the world, but with his current power, he can do something for the veterans who followed him all the way from Gaochang, and Kunming Chi is such a stage.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty excavated the Kunming Pond, which was built in imitation of the Dianchi Lake in Kunming, and the main purpose was to train the naval army to attack the Nanyue Kingdom and the Kunming Kingdom, so as to pacify the world's traffic foreign countries. After the Kunming Pool was repaired, it did play a role for the naval army of the Western Han Dynasty, pacifying the south and southwest. Kunming Pond is to naturally divert and drain water along the flow direction of the water from south to north, and the water storage is in the low-lying area, and the selection of the water outlet is carried out according to the needs of water diversion and flood discharge.

The north bank of Kunming Pond is a belt-like highland that roughly runs east-west, more than four miles long from east to west, and the inlet canal has a fork, the widest point reaches 420 meters, and the narrow one is mostly between 40 and 160 meters; The three aqueducts are located on the north bank of Kunming Pond, with a minimum width of 20 to 50 meters, and some are paved with large pebbles at the bottom and on both sides; Another aqueduct is on the west bank and is used for flood discharge.

Yu Wenkai has investigated, Kunming Pond from the Qinling Mountains, there will be a lot of rain flowing out from the depths of the Qinling Mountains in the rainy season every year, but it is too close to the Wei River, the drop is too big, basically all flow away in vain, the Han Dynasty is to use this natural water advantage to open the lake and store water on the spot, the formation of Kunming Pond, at present due to the decline of national strength, several years have not been maintained, the Kunming Pond has dried up for land around it, the area of the pool has shrunk by nearly one-third, the water level has dropped greatly, the big ships can not drive in, only change from the Wei River, resulting in the Wei River capacity tension.

Sima Caizhang looked at the water and said, "Guogong, this project is not small, and it can't reduce much capacity. ”

Yang Chong shook his head with a smile and said: "Cao Yun will definitely not be able to row, the granaries of the government are not nearby, but trade is a good place, those buildings of the Han Dynasty can be used, build a small town and wharf here, only need to have a transit cargo station at the entrance of the Yellow River, and many materials will be transported directly here without the need for travel and horses." The river beach area surrounded by Weishui, Lihe, Fengshui and Hushui is open and unsuitable for farming because of flooding, but the grass is abundant and abundant, and it is an ideal pasture land that can be built on a private pasture. ”

Yuan Hongzhao felt the cool breeze and said with a smile: "I have checked, they are all ownerless land, in addition to buying 1,300 acres of river beach, there are also two hectares of land in the water, the water, and the Fengshui. ”

Everyone laughed, daring to love Yang Chong to come to see his own land; Yang Chong turned back to Yuan Hongzhao and said: "First place a hundred disabled veterans here to raise cattle, sheep, and horses; If there are family members, take them over, gradually increase the population according to the practice of Baijiangzhuang, and finally build a village with schools and workshops. Jiang Fei said that Yang Lei's sentence was almost over, and asked him if he wanted to, he would come to this farm to be a steward; In the area of water, water, and water, you can find Tianyu or Yuwenwen to build a manor like Shannan Villa, and the two of us will be here to support the elderly. ”

Zhang Guolao said with a smile: "Yang Chong, you are only thirty, and Yuan Hongzhao is not fifty, and you two have begun to calculate the pension, so what should the people of the world do?" ”

Hao Ying also smiled and said: "Guogong, you will have the right to run Kyushu in the future, and you don't need to build another courtyard by yourself." ”

Yang Chongzheng said: "Now Chang'an has a population of only one million, what if it has a population of two million or three million in the future?" ”

Ah, Hao Ying and the others were dumbfounded, with a population of two million or three million, what kind of city would it be; Zhang Guolao stared at Yang Chong tightly and asked, "Is there really such a big city?" ”

Yang Chong's mind flashed the picture of Shanghai, Tokyo, and Guangzhou, which are all tens of millions of cities, Yang Chong looked at Kunming Pool, and sighed after a long time: "Guo Lao, you will settle in Chang'an, I need you, and I also want you to see a new city I built on the edge of Kunming Pool." ”

Zhang Guolao patted Yang Chong, Yang Chong's distraction just now made Zhang Guolao have a strange feeling, that is, Yang Chong has really seen a city of two or three million people, but Zhang Guolao has seen the research results of Yang Chong and several academies, there are no such cities in Great Sui, Persia, and Byzantium, where did Yang Chong see it, is there really a fairyland? However, according to Zhang Guolao's experience, there are very few people who become immortals, and it is impossible for there to be so many immortals in the fairyland.
