Guanzhong, is the place of shape and victory, and it has been the place of Longxing since ancient times!

Zhou Xing from Guanzhong, will be the prince of the world to destroy the Shang, on behalf of the business and the world co-master, until more than 400 years.

The Zhou dynasty moved eastward, and Qin migrated from Longxi to Guanzhong, and then invaded the six countries eastward, and finally dominated the world.

At the end of Qin, the world was in turmoil, and Gaozu took Guanzhong as the foundation, and then annexed the world by force.

So much so that Taishi said: "Those who do things must be in the southeast, and those who reap merit will always be in the northwest." ”

Although this is just Tai Shi Gong's summary of his previous historical trends.

However, for a long period of time after that, historical evolution still proved that this view was valid.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, due to the great destruction of Guanzhong, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty chose Luoyang instead of Chang'an.

After that, the Wei and Jin dynasties all followed the old practice of the Later Han Dynasty and built their capitals in Luoyang.

However, the system of the three capitals of the Later Han Dynasty and the system of the five capitals of Cao Wei were all based on Chang'an as the western capital.

Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty made a system of stone letters, stipulating that non-clans were not allowed to suppress Guanzhong, which can also be seen the importance of Guanzhong.

As soon as he took Chang'an and recovered Guanzhong, Wei Shuo began to think about how to revitalize Guanzhong.

Over the past 100 years, Guanzhong has experienced wars and turmoil, and Guanzhong really needs to rest and recuperate.

Therefore, the first decree issued by Wei Shuo in the main customs was to announce the exemption of agricultural taxes for three years.

As soon as this order came out, the people of Guanzhong cried with joy and rushed to tell each other.

To be honest, for the current Hexi, the three-year tax exemption sacrifice is a bit big.

Fortunately, only agricultural taxes are exempted, and commercial taxes still have to be paid in accordance with regulations.

It's not that Wei Shuo plays with words and plays tricks on the people, but it's impossible to avoid everything.

After all, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers under Hexi's rule, and if you don't collect a little tax, then everyone can only drink the northwest wind.

The exemption of agricultural taxes has greatly reduced the burden on the common people, and commercial taxes are generally not collected from them.

Before the wave of tax exemption passed, Dadu Hu announced a second decree to the outside world: the Juntian release order.

In addition, the new government began to distribute new farming tools such as zigzag plows and cocoon carts to farmers.

Even the Duhu Prefecture urgently transferred countless cattle, horses, and livestock from Shuofang to assist the people of Guanzhong in farming.

Under the leadership of the new government organization, the people of Guanzhong burst out with great enthusiasm and began to work in full swing.

Historically, after the fall of the Later Qin, Guanzhong was in chaos for hundreds of years.

It was not until the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty that it slowly recovered, and it regained its brilliance in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Now that Hou Qin was pacified by Hexi so quickly, Wei Shuo couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

The pacification of Guanzhong will lay a solid foundation for the future unification of the world in Hexi.

Wei Shuo believes that in a few years, when Guanzhong is revived, Hexi will officially have the strength to unify the world.

……

The weather is getting hotter, and in the Chang'an Palace, Cui Hong, Jiang Ji, Guo Yi, Wei Daofu and others are busy with sweat.

They are gathering to investigate the situation in various places in order to find out the cause of Guanzhong's decline and find a way to revitalize Guanzhong.

"How? Do you already have a clue? ”

Everyone followed the prestige, but saw most of them walking in like a tiger.

Wei Shuo sat on the top, glanced at everyone and asked: "These days, everyone has been buried in the case, consulting countless materials, I don't know if there is anything to gain?" ”

"After consulting various materials since the Han Dynasty, the reason for the decline of Guanzhong has been found."

"Oh, is it? Please ask Uncle Xuan to hurry up and listen. Wei Shuo couldn't wait.

"If you want to distinguish the rise and fall of Guanzhong, you need to first understand the rise and fall of water conservancy in Guanzhong."

Cui Hong said eloquently: "Through investigation, the ministers found that the governance of water conservancy and the governance of Guanzhong are very closely related. ”

"It can be said that only if you know water conservancy, you can understand Guanzhong."

"Since the Han Dynasty, there have been continuous wars in Guanzhong, which has made the water conservancy conditions in Guanzhong continue to decline since the Qin and Han dynasties."

"The earliest large-scale water conservancy project in Guanzhong is the Zhengguo Canal built by the Qin State during the Warring States Period."

"Zhengguo Canal is a large-scale irrigation canal that uses Jingshui as a water source to irrigate the farmland in Weibei."

"After the completion of the Zhengguo Canal, the political and economic benefits are remarkable."

"It is to take Guanzhong as a fertile field, there is no fierce year, Qin is rich and strong, and he is a prince."

"Since then, Zheng Guoqu has been in use for hundreds of years until it was destroyed in war."

"After Henkel settled in Dingzhong, it also attached great importance to the development of farmland and water conservancy."

"During the period of Emperor Wu, the imperial court successively excavated a series of water conservancy projects such as the Liufu Canal, the White Canal, and the Chengguo Canal."

"It is said that after the completion of the Baiqu, the area of Gukou and Chiyang has become a high-yield area without drought and flood because of the irrigation of Zhengbai and Bai."

"At that time, there was a popular folk song in the local area to sing the praises of the two canals."

"Where is the field, Chiyang Taniguchi."

"Zheng Guo is in front, Baiqu is in the back."

"Lifting a gong is a cloud, and breaking a ditch is rain."

"One stone of Jingshui, several buckets of mud."

"And irrigation and dung, grow my corn."

"Food and clothing, the mouth of hundreds of millions."

"It can be said that as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, Guanzhong Water Conservancy formed three major canal systems based on Jingshui, Weishui and Luoshui."

"These water conservancy projects have ensured the prosperity of Guanzhong and are an important foundation for Guanzhong to become rich in the world."

"However, since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Guanzhong Water Conservancy Project has not only not increased, but has been destroyed in the war again and again."

"In the past 100 years, due to the political turmoil, Guanzhong's farmland and water conservancy have no time to be repaired or destroyed by war, and finally Guanzhong has been in a state of exhaustion."

"During the reign of the former Qin, Prime Minister Wang Meng was ordered to govern Guanzhong."

"Although he ordered the renovation of part of the water conservancy, the irrigation effect is far inferior to that of the Zhengguo Canal, let alone the White Canal and the Liufu Canal?"

"Therefore, the ministers and others believe that the key factor in the decline of Guanzhong is the sharp decline in water conservancy conditions."

"In this way, as long as the local water conservancy conditions are restored, it is expected that Guanzhong will be revived?" Wei Shuo said excitedly.

"Hmm...... That's pretty much it. ”

"What? Are there other reasons? ”

"Well, this, the ministers are not too clear."

Cui Hong hesitated slightly: "When the minister checked the information, he found that the geographical environment of Guanzhong was worse than that of the Qin and Han dynasties. ”

"Originally, the edge of the Qinling Mountains was full of primeval forests, but now except for the depths of the Qinling Mountains, there are few forests in the hinterland of Guanzhong."

"The minister doesn't know if this is one of the reasons for the decline of Guanzhong."

"However, according to the survey, after the reduction of trees, the climatic conditions in Guanzhong are worse than in previous years, and several major rivers such as Weishui, Jingshui and Luoshui are frequently flooded."

"Well, Xuan Bogong's guess is very reasonable, and the destruction of vegetation in Guanzhong must also be one of the reasons for the decline of Guanzhong."

"Now that everyone has found the root cause of Guanzhong's decline, I don't know what countermeasures there are?"

"Hui Lord, the ministers and others plan to start from two aspects, one of which is naturally to vigorously renovate the Guanzhong Water Conservancy."

"After a preliminary survey, the ministers decided to renovate the national canal and start to restore the Guanzhong water conservancy project."

"Chengguo Qu?" Wei Shuo said thoughtfully.

"Yes! Although the Chengguo Canal was built in the middle of the Han Dynasty, it is a little old. ”

"However, during the Cao Wei period, because Guanzhong was the base of the Shu War, Cao Wei expanded the Chengguo Canal twice out of the demand for military food and transportation."

"It's a pity that Cao Wei Guozuo is very short, and its renovation channels are not for agricultural production, but more for military needs."

"Therefore, the effect is not very ideal, but it has laid a good foundation for the revival of Guanzhong in Hexi."

"How?"

"First of all, we must renovate the Chengguo canal, extend it, rebuild it, and strive to restore the canal."

"Secondly, we must try to increase the water source of the Chengguo Canal and improve its irrigation capacity."

"For this reason, the ministers have two ideas, one of which is to lead Wu'an water into the canal."

"The second is to overhaul the Liumen weir and increase the water of Mogu and Xianggu to further enrich the water volume of the Chengguo Canal."

"It is estimated that if this project is successfully completed, it will be able to meet the agricultural production of Wugong, Xianyang, Gaolu and other counties."

"In the future, Guanzhong will add at least 20,000 hectares of fertile land, and the irrigation area will surpass the Zheng and Bai canals."

"Good! According to your suggestion, Shuo sent a letter to the Metropolitan Protectorate, requesting that water conservancy technicians be transferred to the customs as soon as possible. ”

"In addition to the Chengguo Canal, the ministers also plan to renovate the Zhengguo Canal and the White Canal."

"However, due to the large sediment content of Jingshui at present, the renovation effect is estimated to be unsatisfactory, and it is difficult to restore it to the glory of the Qin and Han dynasties."

"Even so, the minister thinks that at least 10,000 hectares of irrigable land can be added."

"In addition to vigorously renovating the water conservancy project, the minister suggested that the lord immediately issue a ban on cutting down trees."

"In order to further improve the geographical environment of Guanzhong, the minister also suggested that the lord should prohibit the cultivation of farmland on both sides of the Jingshui, Weishui, Luoshui and other waterways."

"After the ban on farmland reclamation, all the land on both sides of the waterway should be planted with trees to prevent flooding."

"Quasi, quasi, quasi! Everything is done according to the opinions of Qing and others. ”
