Chapter 340: Dangyang Nagasaka
More than 20,000 acres of paddy fields are not much, because during this period, according to the news brought by some caravans attached to the Huaxia State, a large number of nearly 100,000 homeless people composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled that the Wei State intended to expel had been slowly gathering towards Jiangling City through the area of Dangyang Changbanpo.
Although due to the existence of Huaxia Kingdom and the provision of a large number of jobs and soup kitchens, the sudden increase of 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people still brought a lot of trouble to Huaxia Guo's land reclamation plan.
After a long journey, most of these displaced people are already in a state of extreme exhaustion, and they need something to satisfy their hunger and shelter from the wind and rain, so that they can recover their already severely overdrawn physical strength.
Until their physical and mental state is restored, Huaxia will not be able to obtain a large amount of cheap labor from these displaced people.
On the contrary, the people of Huaxia Kingdom also had to send more people to take charge of the order of the homeless gathering areas.
If the hope that these people who are on the verge of life and death can be cut off, once there is a riot or riot, it is simply not something that the members of the Huaxia Kingdom in Gangneung City can deal with.
If this caused Wei Minsheng to kill ordinary people, all the efforts he had made before would be in vain.
After investing a lot of manpower and food in free soup kitchens to ensure the stability of the displaced people's gathering areas, Wei Minsheng summoned the heads of several departments to make arrangements for the development plan around Jiangling City in the near future.
In order to shorten the distance from Dangyang to Jiangling and reduce the casualties of these displaced people on the way, Wei Minsheng decided to use the human resources that had now been organized to connect the land passage between Dangyang and Jiangling City.
Dangyang is located less than 70 kilometers in a straight line northwest of Gangneung.
Although it is only separated by a mountain from Yiling in the west of Gangneung, there is no road between the two cities, and the majestic Jingshan Mountain blocks all kinds of communication between the two cities.
Although Hengheng's mountain range between the two cities was very high, in Wei Minsheng's eyes, it was just a raw material yard that could provide the foundation for his development plan.
In particular, the Changban slope in the south of Dangyang City belongs to the Gangling area formed by the southward branch of the remaining veins of Jingshan.
This Gangling area is located in the northwest of Yunmengze, and its altitude is nearly 200 meters higher than that of Gangneung City.
Although the straight-line distance from Changbanpo to Gangneung is only more than 60 kilometers, in fact, due to the complex terrain, these displaced people have to follow the direction of the mountain range all the way south to the Yangtze River to reach Gangneung down the river.
Therefore, these homeless armies, mainly composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled, traveled all the way from Dangyang City, and it was impossible to bypass Shuize and reach Jiangling City in three or five days.
Fortunately, around this water, the number of grass roots, tree bark, birds, beasts, insects and fish is very abundant, and the situation is much better than that of the fields in the north of the Han River.
As long as you are willing to put in the effort, it is still possible to find at least something that can fill your stomach, but there is no guarantee that the taste of these things can provide the necessary nutrients for the human body, after all, compared to taste and nutrition, survival is the most important thing.
According to Wei Minsheng's plan, on the one hand, a large number of standardized wooden planks were transported from Zigui Wharf, and then the existing human resources were organized to build a large number of temporary houses on the newly built embankment in the water outside Jiangling City to accommodate these displaced people who had gathered from the mountains and rivers.
On the other hand, two truckloads of gasoline were mobilized again from the real world, and the gasoline was sprinkled between Nagasaka Slope and Gangneung Castle in the dark night, and a straight line channel with a width of more than 500 meters was burned.
The fire that turned red the night sky terrified the displaced people who had made a detour into Gangneung from Dangyang, after all, the flames that were rolling several feet high were not something that could be seen normally.
The next day, the official members of the Huaxia Kingdom were given a new task of building a temporary aisle for at least two carts to run in parallel from the middle of the burned passage of earth and stone excavated from the river.
Since this temporary aisle is not a levee, it only needs to be slightly higher than the water surface of Mizusawa to ensure the passage of people and vehicles on it.
After this period of running-in, those people in Jiangling City have become familiar with the style of doing things in Huaxia Kingdom, and under the arrangement of those official members of Huaxia Kingdom, hundreds of wheelbarrows have been sent to Shuizawa in a steady stream of earth and stone according to the way of passing on the right side and dividing the two roads.
Due to the orderly order and less amount of landfill, the path stretches from Gangneung to Nagasaka-po at a rate of almost one meter per minute.
Due to the fact that part of the previously constructed cofferdam has been extended, and the course of the Nagasaka slope, it is really impossible to pass through the swamp that needs to be landfilled, and the distance is actually less than 10 kilometers.
Moreover, the road burned by Wei Minsheng has been screened according to the terrain on the collected digital photos, and it is almost a road that requires the least amount of earth-rock landfill, so that the direction of the Jingshan Mountains can be used as much as possible.
The straight road takes a slight turn to connect small hills, and then you can use these hills as a springboard to dig up earth and rocks on the spot and quickly approach Nagasaka Slope.
At this rate, it will only take a week at most to open the nearest passage between Nagasaka Slope and Gangneung.
The more the aborigines who carried out the landfill work, the more surprised they became, as if these official members of the Huaxia Kingdom could see the terrain in the winding waters, and they only needed to look at what they had in hand to immediately determine the next direction that needed to be filled.
The most amazing thing is that no matter which direction they choose, they will eventually find that there is a small hill that can be used at most ten zhang away in this direction.
