"What is the Yellow River? It's the Mother River! ”

As soon as Li Yuanxing spoke, the audience fell silent.

"In the pre-Qin period, the Yellow River was called a big river, and the water was clear at that time. Of course, it's definitely much stronger than it is now. weishenme will be like this, this king thought it was the Three Kingdoms period, and the trees were cut down too much. How much sediment is in the water of the Yellow River, this is to bring down all the soil upstream, and the riverbed is getting higher and higher, and the floods will naturally increase. ”

"Does Your Highness want to control the river?" Several Governors asked in unison.

"To govern a Yellow River, Datang has more than 2 million hectares of fertile land, to govern or not to govern?" Li Yuanxing asked rhetorically.

Li Er spoke at this time: "Wulang, how much do you vote." How many years has it been governed? ”

"Eighty million runs, ten years to cure yellow. At least two million more hectares of fertile land, and most importantly, in the process of harnessing the Yellow River, we have gained even more. The cost is greater than that of Uncle Cousin's canal, but the benefits are greater. For example, this is a dam, and this dam alone can protect the safety of the downstream 800 miles of prefectures and counties. On the Yellow River, the younger brother planned to build six dams, and after these six dams, any one dam could use the electricity generated by hydropower, which could be used by ten Chang'an. And ......"

When it comes to it, Li Yuanxing doesn't have enough confidence.

"The river is out of Kunlun and white. The canal is not a thousand seven hundred and one rivers, and the color is yellow" Yan Lide, who was not good at words, suddenly shouted.

His sentence is from the Han Dynasty: "Erya? Water Release.

"The saint is out, the Yellow River is clear!" Wu Cao suddenly said, but it shocked Li Er.

Li Yuanxing shook his head gently, because this sentence came from the Ming Dynasty. Legend has it that the water of the Yellow River will become clear once in 500 years. When the time comes, a saint will be born. So the original words should be, the Yellow River is clear, and the sage is out.

"It's rare to see the Yellow River clear for a thousand years!" Li Er also said with emotion.

80 million guan is a huge amount of money for the current Datang, even exceeding the consumption of building a new Chang'an City. Chang'an Bashui and Bahui, after the repair, only spent 2 million guan and more than 10 million stone grains. But these eight rivers and eight benefits have brought 8 million acres of fertile land to Chang'an City and its surroundings.

Whole or not!

Two million hectares of fertile land!

The officials all knew that Li Yuanxing never spoke full, and this expense must have been exaggerated. But the earnings are definitely discounted.

The minister suggested. Vote! However, does Your Highness have a proposal to control the Yellow River! "Wang Jishan, as the pavilion master of Tianying Pavilion, naturally has to speak for him at this time.

Li Yuanxing turned his head violently: "Girl! ”

"Come on, carry it up!" Wu Cao is definitely fully prepared for Li Yuanxing in this regard.

Twenty large chests. A total of 120 sets of materials. Naturally, not everyone has it. Of course, there must be a share of the identity. This is a proposal for the management of the Yellow River that has been summarized for 2,000 years in later generations, and even includes the most mistakes in the Sanmenxia and the ideas for later improvements.

Soil and water conservation in the upper stream. management and control of river dredging, etc.

As well as artificial reflow sand discharge, there are several modern ways of sand discharge, pushing sand ponds and so on.

Compared with the modern times of later generations, the first is that there are fewer people, and the people of Datang did not dare to cut down trees indiscriminately. The second is easy to manage, under a government order, whoever dares to destroy the water and soil Li Yuanxing will turn his whole family into slaves. The third is that after having the experience of later generations, Li Yuanxing believes that he can do better.

The whole venue was filled with the sound of heavy breathing and the sound of turning pages.

Even the waiters who poured water did not dare to walk heavily, for fear of affecting the reading of the materials by these officials.

Suddenly, the governor of Longxi stood up, thought about it and sat down again, holding his forehead with one hand.

"Did you have a head stroke?" Dugu Xiude smiled.

The governor of Longxi is actually Yu Wenshi, who resigned as the head of the province, and his relationship with Dugu Xiude is already good. Hearing such a question, he immediately stood up: "I'm afraid that the tree will make a big move and make you a fool." I don't care anymore, the investment in the Longyangxia Dam in this book is only 500,000 yuan, and we want to build it in Longxi. We pooled the money, the picture on this, just fish farming is 100,000 acres of paddy fields, which can guarantee 300,000 hectares of fertile land, why not tidy! ”

Li Yuanxing said in his heart, 500,000 yuan, it can't be a mistake.

500,000 yuan, in fact, is about 2 billion in later generations, this number is not right, 2 billion to build a dam, nervous.

Li Yuanxing hurriedly flipped through it: "I'm afraid you're wrong about this, this is money." It takes at least 200,000 workers to work for two years, and you don't have to produce the steel bars and cement yourself, and transport them from Chang'an, with a lot of freight, plus the food and drink of the craftsmen, so 500,000 yuan is definitely not enough. ”

Li Er closed the information in his hand.

"Wulang, the people of Chang'an say that King Qin will give a discount when he speaks. The cost is reported high, and the output is reported small. My brother listened to it and watched it. One million dams is not enough, and one and a half million is not enough. If you cultivate ten, it will only be 15 million guan, so you will say that you have spent more, but 20 million guan is not enough. Actually, where do you spend it? ”

Li Yuanxing smiled.

Such a question could not help but bother him.

"Brother Huang, there is another big head, which is to plant trees. How many trees should be planted on both sides of the Yellow River, how can there be hundreds of millions of trees? In addition, in addition to the use of labor, the construction of dams will also affect the livelihoods of some people, and they will have to pay for their relocation. Because the water has to be temporarily diverted, it costs money to dig a canal, which affects the field production, and it must be supplied to the farmers! ”

Li Yuanxing began to sit down and calculate slowly, all of which were small accounts.

Li Er also had a way, and gave Cui Junsu a look.

Cui Junsu immediately asked those under his command to start planning and calculating the expenses that Li Yuanxing said.

Li Yuanxing had to build 20 bridges with a width of 40 zhang and pure reinforced concrete, six large dams, more than 70 small water conservancy facilities, six artificial lakes for sand discharge, and a total of 300 miles of branch canals.

Hydropower station control, generators, and the design of 100,000 miles of power supply for steel wires, 10 zhang high composite pure steel tower.

Counting the cement highway along the river, Li Yuanxing directly drove 10,000 miles.

Zuihou, Li Yuanxing even dam management, garrison, granary.

In Zuihou's Zuihou, Li Yuanxing even added the inflation rate, on the grounds that labor costs would rise, and the prices of many livelihood products and materials would definitely rise somewhat, and Li Yuanxing gave 5 percent a year.

Cui Junsu's subordinates finished counting, and did not immediately give it to Li Yuanxing, but to Wu Cao.

After Wu Cao read it, she knew that Li Yuanxing's calculation was high, and the inflation rate of Datang was about two to three percent at most, and luxury goods could not be counted in the inflation rate.

The cost of the dam has been calculated in detail by Wu Cao, and the only thing that is limited at the moment is the amount of steel produced.

Therefore, in the next three years, only one dam can be built at a selected site.

In Wu Cao's heart, he still planned to put it in Luoyang, that is, Sanmenxia, or Xiaolangdi.

The actual expenditure of Cui Junsu's subordinates is 32 million yuan, and this is the expenditure of ten years, not taken out all at once in a year, and the gold that your Royal Highness King Qin brought back from Wadao alone, not even the silver, has far exceeded this number.

Wu Cao nodded slightly. Whispered: "It's high! ”

"Princess Mingyue's opinion is, how much higher?" Cui Junsu sincerely asked for advice, when it comes to budgeting, especially this kind of advanced product, Wu Cao is definitely the first person in Datang.

Wu Cao approached Cui Junsu and said softly: "If the control is good, there is no waste, or the officials are greedy, it is about twenty percent higher, and it will definitely be less than twenty-six million." ”

Cui Junsu understood, and asked in a low voice: "Why did Your Highness say 80 million guan!" ”

"You can interpret that he is full of nonsense!"

Wu Cao replied with a smile, but Cui Junsu shook his head because he didn't believe it.

There is no need for His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty to talk nonsense here, let alone make up a random number and talk nonsense when he opens his mouth.

Seeing that Cui Junsu didn't believe it, Wu Cao also secretly praised Li Yuanxing's reputation for being really high.

Wu Cao also became much more serious, and said in a low voice: "However, if you count the docks, boats, and surrounding practical facilities. And in the past ten years, all the officials who have governed the Yellow River, as well as the soldiers who have patrolled, plus the railway from Huating to Yizhou, and supporting facilities, 80 million yuan is not nonsense. ”

Li Er also heard it, and came closer and asked, "Why didn't Gorou mention the railway just now?" ”

"He wanted to get the money first, and then he would consider whether to build the railway. I know that he is very embarrassed, because this railway is too long, he is afraid that someone will steal his tracks, and he is even more afraid that there is no haode management on the road, this train is extremely fast, if it hits the people, it will kill people. Not to mention, this railway is not easy to repair! ”

Wu Cao's explanation, Li Er could understand.

Because as soon as Li Yuanxing speaks, I don't know how many officials will support this railway matter.

It is definitely not like the governance of the Yellow River still needs to be voted on.

To build the railway, Li Yuanxing dared to say that it would be repaired to the Eastern Roman Empire, and the officials dared to pass it unanimously, so Li Yuanxing pressed the railway down.

Li Yuanxing saw Li Er, Wu Cao, and Cui Junsu discussing in a low voice, and he didn't come closer.

He knew that Wu Cao would definitely talk about the railway, and it was okay to say it on a small scale.

Wu Cao said again: "There is another Li Yuanxing considered, doing such a project will definitely kill people." And it will definitely not be one or two people, he budgets a little more money, and he intends to compensate these people's families in the future. ”

It is no secret that Li Yuanxing loves the people.

If it is placed in the former Sui, let alone a slave, no one cares if hundreds of people die.

Yang Guangzheng Goguryeo, there are more than 10,000 people who died on the road, who he has managed, and who has the officials managed.

Datang now has a pension for the death of a sergeant, but what about the people. Li Yuanxing didn't dare to mention it easily, he was afraid that the Datang scholars would react too violently, and he was also worried that his people's livelihood policy would go too fast.

Wu Cao understood in his heart that after Li Yuanxing was hit by the return of the wounded soldier that year, he still left some shadows in his heart. (To be continued......)
