Regarding the news from the northeast of Great Qin, the imperial court did not send any news. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, in accordance with Hu Hai's order, the cabinet and the six ministries began to study a feasible plan to relocate 600,000 people to Heilongjiang, Liaoning, and Goryeo counties within three years.
Once the plan is perfected, the two successive migrations of 600,000 Guanzhong and the people of the Central Plains into the bitterly cold Northeast Hell will be the largest migration since the First Emperor of Great Qin sent 500,000 old Qin people south to guard Nanyue.
It is the largest number of people, and it is also the largest number of people. Although these 600,000 people will be relocated to Heilongjiang, Liaoning, and Goryeo counties in two periods within three years, they still exceed the scale of the first emperor's southern expedition to South Vietnam.
In the southern expedition to South Vietnam, 200,000 Chu troops surrendered, 100,000 Jing Rui Qin army building boatmen, and 200,000 old Qin people.
The most important thing is that the emperor only gave the cabinet and the six ministries a month to sort out the plan, and then the news was sent to the various county guards who needed to be relocated, and the county guards cooperated with the officials of the six ministries to be responsible for the specific personnel and the heavy allocation of grain and grass.
The cabinet here is still studying, and Shangfang is already working overtime to make box trucks. This relocation is expected to require at least 10,000 multiplying box trucks. At that time, it was estimated that the galloping road from Daqin to Liaodong would be a spectacular scene of thousands of cars.
Here, the cabinet is secretly studying a plan to relocate the people. On the other hand, two major events that left a heavy mark in the entire history of Great Qin, the entire China and even the entire world took place in Great Qin.
……
On the 18th day of April in the Great Qin calendar, the two banks of the Huai River outside Guangling City in Donghai County (near Yangzhou in later generations) were unprecedented. The people of Guangling City and dozens of miles nearby poured out of their nests and gathered on the bank of the Huai River. On the other side, the same is true of the people of Qu'a City in Huiji County (near Qu'a, Jiangsu in later generations) and dozens of miles nearby.
Because today, the Ministry of Industry of Daqin will build the first bridge over the Huai River near Guangling to connect the two banks of the Huai River.
At the beginning, Xiang Yu killed himself on the edge of the Huai River outside Guangling City.
Of course, the location was located in this section of the Huai River in Guangling City, and it was naturally not because Xiang Yu killed himself here. However, this section of the river is the narrowest, and now it has just entered the chun, and Jiangnan has not yet entered the rainy season. Although the water of the Huai River has risen compared with winter, it has not increased much.
Winter is naturally the best time to build a bridge, but it is a pity that at that time, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works and the Shofang are resting and repairing the river and building the embankment. While accumulating experience, it is necessary to find locations to build bridges, and some people are really not enough manpower.
Walk along the Huai River, until the section of Guangling, finally found the most suitable place to build a bridge, accumulate the difficulty from just right. Of course. The most important thing is that near Guangling City, there is not only the Huai River, but also the Yangtze River to the south.
If the Huai River and the Yangtze River are to communicate in the future, then the best choice can only be to dig a canal from Guangling.
I don't know what the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry think, so it was determined that in the future, the imperial court would definitely communicate with the two major water systems of the Yangtze River and the Huai River. However, when they reported it, they selected the section of Guangling where the bridge was built.
The Ministry of Industry naturally needs to play the cabinet, but the cabinet does not dare to call the shots in this matter, after all, the matter of building the bridge was decided by the emperor. It is definitely necessary to listen to the emperor's opinion, no.
Hu Hai naturally didn't have any opinions. Communicating with Jianghuai is what must be done to vigorously develop water transport in the future. After all, from the construction of the bridge on the Huai River, Hu Hai can see it. With Daqin's current technology, even if there are Mohist craftsmen as the main force, it is impossible to build a bridge across both sides of the Yangtze River.
Since it is impossible to build bridges, it seems that the only way to do this is to vigorously develop water transport!
In this way, the first bridge across the Great River in Daqin was decided under the decision of Hu Hai.
Today, it will be the ceremony of the groundbreaking of this Guangling Bridge.
The bridge spans both sides of the Huai River to connect the East China Sea and Huiji, which is naturally best for the people of the two counties. Therefore, it is normal for this grand occasion to occur.
Zhou Qingchen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, personally rushed from Xianyang to Guangling to hold the groundbreaking ceremony of the bridge on behalf of the imperial court.
In the overwhelming cheers, the construction of Guangling Bridge began.
Guangling Bridge, will be built by 100,000 Chu soldiers under the deployment of the Ministry of Works, 100,000 people to build the bridge is naturally too much, the canal connecting the Guangling Huai River and the Yangtze River, will also start construction at the same time, the main force is also the 100,000 Chu army soldiers.
The Xuanwu army Weng Zhong moved from Chen County to Guangling, and 50,000 Xuanwu troops were overwhelmed.
What many people don't know is that as early as a month before the construction of the Guangling Bridge, 200,000 Chu soldiers had already set off northward under the escort of the 20,000 Suzaku Army cavalry who had suppressed the Jiangdong counties.
The 300,000 Chu soldiers have become a professional engineer team or construction corps in Daqin. Eat well and sleep well, and the family has also received a compensation from the imperial court, so naturally no one will still think about rebelling against Daqin.
What's more, the Jiangdong Xiang clan lives in a simple place, and it is not good to be obedient. Without the backbone, Da Qin You did not abuse them, and the military heart was naturally available.
100,000 Chu troops surrendered to the construction corps, built the Guangling Bridge, and dug a canal connecting the Huai River and the Yangtze River. And the destination of these 200,000 Chu soldiers was Handan City, which was thousands of miles away.
Under the guidance of Hu Hai, after nearly a year and a half of exploration, Shangfang craftsmen finally found a large iron ore and coal mountain in the west of Jiuyuan Fortress and north of Handan City.
There is not much iron ore in Guanzhong at all. Although iron ore can also be found, it is obvious that the meager amount is far from enough for the consumption of the entire world of Great Qin.
After the First Emperor unified the world, except for Shangfang, all copper and iron things in the entire world were confiscated, even the spatulas were confiscated, not to mention those workshops that could occasionally smelt iron and copper.
Nowadays, there are only iron-smelting workshops in Shangfang and suggested iron furnaces on the banks of the Huai River near Chen County. However, the iron furnace in Chen County was demolished long after the people of Chen County lived and worked in peace and contentment.
In other words, all the iron used in the entire Great Qin can only be produced from Shangfang, and Shangfang also has to mint various sè coins and weapons. It is far from meeting the needs of Daqin's development.
Then, the establishment of more ironworks has become a matter that must be solved.
Handan and Jiuyuan (Baotou) have iron ore and coal mines, and it is estimated that no one in later generations will not know about them. Under Hu Hai's guidance, the prospectors of Shangfang really found iron ore and coal mountains in Handan and Jiuyuan Fortress.
Now Hu Hai needs to choose whether to build ironworks in both places or choose only one of them.
In the end, Hu Hai weighed the pros and cons and decided that the second iron-making yard would also be the largest iron-making yard in Daqin for a long time to come. Jiuyuan is really too far away from Guanzhong, while Handan is much safer.
200,000 Chu troops descended north to Handan, and it was under the command of Shangfang craftsmen that this new ironworks were built.
On April 29 of the Great Qin calendar, the construction of Handan Iron Yard (not a factory) began! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to m.. Read. )
