After a few days of statistics, a total of 901,843 refugees were brought in this time. The county decree divided the refugees into 180 villages and distributed them to various points on the Gobi Desert!

900,000 people eat and drink Lazar, it is not an easy task! Especially solving the problem of drinking water on the Gobi Desert, this is a difficult task! One hundred and eighty villages, each village needs to send 100 people to pull water every day! If you don't bring water one day, the village will have no water available, and it is estimated that it will not take half a day to become chaotic.

Since Li Yao abolished the Guanguo Army and the Temporary Management Army, there have been more and more problems for the refugees, although each village has elected a village head, but let a village chief manage the food, drink and Lazar of 5,000 people, it is obvious that it can't be managed, Li Yao had no choice but to let the village head select a hundred people based on the Guanguo Army and the Temporary Management Army to assist in the management of the village!

At the same time, Li Yao's secret agents have also infiltrated these refugees under the command of the dog head, and some refugees will disappear every day for no reason, as for where they went, no one will know, but the security of the refugees is indeed much better these days!

Now that everything has stabilized, it is time to start digging the canal, and it is impossible for Yi County to take out 900,000 tools, so the county order went to several counties next door to buy them, and scraped together 50,000 tools!

In addition, the Craftsman King's Mechanic Bureau also began to build, and Li Yao issued an order among the refugees: "Those who used to be craftsmen, or who know how to craft craftsmen, can register with the village chief, whether they are carpenters or blacksmiths!" After registering for the name, the unified went to the craftsman king to elect, and the election was not only fed, but also had two days a month to eat meat. In addition, there is a salary of 200 Wen! ”

This order was issued and it drove those refugees crazy! As long as you have worked a little carpenter and blacksmith at home, you have all signed up, and tens of thousands of people participated in the election at one time!

This is too busy for the craftsman king, but fortunately, the craftsman king's family has a great cause, there are hundreds of disciples, and elections are held every day, and finally there are 5,000 good foundations left to join the mechanic bureau! The rest of the people were immediately repatriated to the village, and the 10,000 foot soldiers sent to Li Yao by King Qi were all withdrawn after the refugees were divided. Therefore, these refugees should not be given any opportunity to interact with each other, lest they have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

There is a curfew in the Gobi Desert at night, although the Gobi Desert is very large, and it is impossible to completely manage it, but it is not completely unmanageable. There are not many dog-headed spies, and there are less than ten people in each village.

5,000 people sleep in the open air at night, and there are torches around the camp, and these spies are squatting at various points, if someone goes out at night and does not return all night, they will be targeted by the spies, and if they are targeted for two consecutive days, the spies will report to the dog's head, and at this time, Li Feng's city guards will be dispatched to take those people away at night when they are unaware!

Li Yao was worried that this would be too ruthless, but the dog head and the county order thought that it had to be done. The blind man has nothing special except for the high point of martial arts, and if he wants to make an idea in this matter, he will listen to the eldest brother!

So Li Yao listened to the opinions of the dog head and the county order, and the specific implementation was also the two of them!

After absorbing 5,000 craftsmen, the Mechanic Bureau of the King of Craftsmen began to make agricultural tools, because the production of agricultural tools was relatively simple. Moreover, Li Yao also needs a large number of farm tools at present, and making farm tools can also allow these five thousand craftsmen to run in as soon as possible to reach the level of making weapons.

The method of making gunpowder has been handed over to the craftsman king, who directs these man-made gunpowders all day long, in addition to making agricultural tools.

The three materials were completely separated, so the King Craftsman was not worried that they would master the method of making gunpowder. It didn't take long for 10,000 catties of gunpowder to be made, and it seemed that the gunpowder that opened the mountain and diverted water was completely sufficient.

The situation of digging canals in various villages is also in full swing, although the early farm tools are not enough, but the five thousand craftsmen of the craftsman king can make tens of thousands of farm tools every day, and after a few days, the tools are slowly enough!

With the hard work of 900,000 people, it took less than a month to build a house and dig a canal, and the canal was almost completed, and this canal was designed by the county magistrate himself, of which there are five main canals, which are 20 zhang wide and 2 zhang high. Each main canal is nearly 100 miles long. There are more than 20 branch canals, three zhang wide and one zhang high.

The water canal on the ground is almost completed, and the canal on the mountain is also being carried out intensively, the county order is designed to treat the mountain as a large reservoir, and all the water drawn down from the mountain is concentrated in the reservoir, but fortunately Li Yao has many people migrating this time, otherwise there is no way to complete such a huge project, this reservoir is about half a mile long, about half a mile wide, and the height is twenty zhang high! With the efforts of 200,000 people, it took half a month to dig up the reservoir.

The aqueduct on the mountain was also blown up, because they couldn't find a suitable explosion point, so a lot of gunpowder was wasted, but fortunately, the canal on the mountain was completed on time!

After a month and a half, the huge project was finally completed, and with the last explosion, the water rumbled down the mountain and into the reservoir. When the water bank is full, the water flows along the five main canals to the branches, and in one day, the villages use the water from the canals, and there is no longer any need to send people to pull water.

Now that there is a water source, you can start farming, but the land on the Gobi Desert is too alkaline, so Li Yao called on everyone to start digging alkali canals, and for a while, everyone started construction again.

It's just that the matter of digging and draining the alkali canal is not very urgent now, after all, the farmland has not yet been reclaimed, so at this time, the main thing is to let everyone improve the living environment and plant saplings next to the canal, which is also a good way to prevent soil erosion and consolidate the canal.

In the past month and a half of digging the canal, everyone has worked very hard, and the number of people reported by the dog-headed spies has reached nearly 5,000, and the city guards have arrested all of them. These people, Li Yao did not immediately execute, but let them build a dungeon under the ground and let them fry gunpowder in it!

A while ago, there was a gunpowder explosion in the Mechanic Bureau, and the craftsman immediately stopped the manufacture of gunpowder and told Li Yao about the situation, so from then on, Li Yao did not immediately execute those suspicious people, but all of them were locked up in the dungeon to fry gunpowder.

The gunpowder produced from the dungeon will not be used immediately, but will be spot-checked and tested, and if it is found that someone has coped with the problem and the gunpowder cannot be used, the city guards will be immediately sent to kill them, because that person has no use value, and can also be used to make an example.

At this time, there was a news from Wang Du, and this news really made Li Yao laugh.
