It wasn't long after lunch, and it was a quarter of an hour's rest.

The soldiers came again with whips, "Whatever you are doing sitting here, hurry up and get to work." ”

After saying that, they also waved the whips in their hands, and threw them to the ground one by one, throwing the ground into dust and making the hearts of the prisoners tremble.

Guo Gu Pozi and the others, who had just rested, held back their whole body soreness, got up from the ground and picked up their tools and went to work again.

Looking at this large area of mining land, their hearts are full of despair, how long will it take for such a large place to be mined, and how long will they have to work before they can be liberated?

This makes them feel that they can't see the road ahead, and they feel lost and hopeless.

Such a big thing quickly spread throughout the surrounding villages, and Gu Anning, who was in the Gu Mansion, also listened to the villagers when she went out for a walk with a small bun.

For Mrs. Gu and her party who are suffering in the mine, she is happy to see it happen.

Vaguely, she seemed to have guessed something.

General Wang, Ah Mo's subordinates, still came to let a group of prisoners go to mine ore on Ah Mo's orders.

Among the prisoners were Mrs. Gu and her entourage, as well as the brothers who wanted to buy themselves as daughters-in-law.

connected here, as long as Jun Beimo is asked, her thoughts can be confirmed.

In fact, things are as she thought, the reason why Jun Beimo, who was far away in the capital, ordered General Wang to lead a group of prisoners to mine ore was to teach a lesson to those who had ill intentions towards Ah Ning.

Second, it can increase manpower and speed up mining.

……………………………………

Far away in the capital, many officials gathered in Jun Beimo's study at this moment, and Jun Beimo, who was sitting behind the desk, talked with them with a serious face about the problem of the great drought in the Western Desert that he had thought about before.

About two quarters of an hour later, Jun Beimo took the detailed map of this dynasty from Jun Yi and hung it behind him.

On the map, a thick red winding red line crosses the entire Western Desert, surrounded by small red winding red lines.

Looking at these lines drawn by himself with a cinnabar pen, he pointed at the beginning of the red line with two fingers together, looked at the officials below and said in a deep voice: "Hanfeng Mountain, this mountain is located in the north of my face, and the water is abundant. Every rainy season, there are floods, which deeply affect the people of this area.

The northern desert region is dry and short of water, and there will be continuous droughts every year, so we must make good use of the abundant water in the northern region to nourish the northern desert. ”

"Lord Wang, do you want to dig a river?"

The officials are not stupid lords, and as soon as he heard what the prince meant, he immediately understood in his heart.

"But Lord Wang, the terrain in the Western Desert is relatively high, and if we dig a river, it will not only cost the people and money, but also will not play any role." One official made his own point.

Jun Beimo nodded when he heard this, glanced at them and said, "The question you raised is very good." Not on three of the four sides of Hanfeng Mountain, this side is higher than the West Desert, so we dig the river again and follow it to Ximo. ”

Two fingers followed the winding red line to the end of the Western Desert, and then signaled to everyone the surrounding tributaries, and then explained.

In the end, everyone agreed with this approach.

"Lord Wang, this matter is huge, I'm afraid it won't be completed in three years."

"This king knows that although the problem of drought in the Western Desert cannot be solved in the past few years, in the long run, this project can solve this problem forever, and it is to solve it from the root."

Jun Beimo put his hands behind his back, and his deep eyes were full of wisdom.

The route he chose was able to lead the water to the Western Desert region, and the distance was the shortest. Among them, diversion can better solve the problem of drought in various parts of the western desert area.

In this, he also took into account the problem of stone. So as not to cause a lot of trouble when you decide to dig again.

When the official heard this, he then bowed to Jun Beimo's admiration.

"This matter is handed over to Jiang Hongtao by the king and asked him to direct all matters of the excavation."

Jiang Hongtao was a famous master of water conservancy engineering in this dynasty, and he reached the pinnacle in digging rivers and building river dams, and the rivers in his hands were always indestructible.

Now such a huge and heavy project, how can it be handed over to someone else's hands?

Immediately afterwards, Jun Beimo began to set out to allocate silver and levy workers in the people.

When expropriating the people, there are naturally conditions, and the people themselves must be willing, and no one is allowed to coerce.

Moreover, the people in the requisitioned income team can receive a reward of two taels of silver every month, which can be said to be very generous.

However, it is not your own volition, not only can you enter the team, but also check whether you are seriously ill.

You have to pass the test before you can enter the team.

After the orders were issued, the lower-level officials were also busy with the orders distributed from above.

When he gave another order, he also recruited a general of Sanpin and asked him to lead 200,000 troops to dig a river to build a dam and protect the lives of the people who enlisted.

Knowing that the prince attaches great importance to this river excavation, everyone is full of enthusiasm and does not dare to have the slightest neglect and disobedience.

When they were all gone, he came to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked at the silence outside, he reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.

For this matter, he has not rested for a long time, and he gets up after resting for an hour or two every day.

"Lord Wang, the matter has been dealt with, you go back to your room to rest and rest."

At this time, the butler's voice came from behind him.

Looking at the prince who had lost a lot of weight, he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart. But he also knew that the prince had affairs that he could not delay, and he also knew that he could not stop and rest.

Jun Beimo turned to look at the worried old butler, so he nodded rarely.

This order was issued, and the entire capital and surrounding cities were boiling.

Many poor people have gone to sign up.

……………………………

Six days later, Gu Anning, who was at home, went out of the house with a small bun.

Sitting in the carriage, along the way, she felt that something was wrong with the people in the village today, they all gathered together in twos and threes to talk about things, and she didn't know what they were talking about.

When he arrived in the town, Gu Anning, who got out of the carriage with a small bun, carefully placed it on the ground like a little bun, held his little hand with one hand, and walked forward with him.

Gu Anning, who was shopping with Xiao Baozi, noticed something, and she found that many people in the town were walking in the direction of the yamen.

Because of the loud and loud voice, she didn't get any useful information.
