Chapter 246 Building the Canal (Second Update, Asking for Subscription)

At night, Xiang Yu was running his qi and blood, and his whole body was flashing with golden light, like a Buddha.

The acupuncture points in the whole body were wide open, turning into a whirlpool, absorbing the aura of the outside world, and the aura was like a tide, entering the body, constantly refining, and turning into true qi.

The true qi swirls and enters the physical body, nourishing the physical body and strengthening the acupuncture points at the same time.

Knock knock!

The heart was beating violently, and Xiang Yu was running the breathing method, tempering the internal organs.

Then, there was a trace of true qi that entered the dantian, reinforcing the surroundings of the dantian, and at the same time, the periphery of the dantian was slowly expanding.

The diameter of the dantian has reached the size of ten kilometers, and it is still slowly expanding.

In the dantian, the true qi turned into real liquid, precipitated together, turned into a lake, and stored in it.

These true qi are all reserve energy, which can support the long-term outbreak of martial artists.

After a long time, Xiang Yu opened his eyes.

A punch was struck, and the void shattered and turned into a huge crack.

The cracks were pitch black, as if they were leading to an unknown place.

It only lasted for a moment, and the black crack disappeared.

Xiang Yu retracted his breath and returned to his dull appearance.

After estimating, his current combat effectiveness is not inferior to Xiang Yutian at the peak moment.

At this moment, if you fight with Xiang Yutian, it will be Xiang Yutian who will die.

"Cihang Sword Codex, I can be regarded as taking a new path, as long as I follow the path I have opened up...... It will surely shatter the void. This can be regarded as compensation for Cihang Jingzhai! ”

Xiang Yu said in his heart.

At this moment, as long as he wants, he can shatter the void and leave.

But at the moment of shattering the void, Xiang Yu felt a sense of unease.

It seems that after being broken, there is a great danger, and it is forcibly suppressed.

Standing up, Xiang Yu began to write the "Cihang Sword Codex: Broken Chapter", supplementing the shortcomings of the Cihang Sword Codex, but it was still very difficult to enter the broken realm.

It's like reading a lot of Sun Tzu's Art of War, but after reading it, very few people become famous generals.

……

I woke up the next day and continued to patrol the canal.

Oversaw the construction of the canal.

The construction of the canal involved 500,000 migrant workers, military escorts, many engineering designers, and many surveying and mapping.

It's busy, it's building canals.

Far away, it looks like a huge construction site.

In the Sui Dynasty, men were required to serve regular duty until the age of 60 at the age of 21 for one month a year, which was later changed to 20 days a year. Of course, in practice, two months in a row, or even three months, of forced labor also happen from time to time.

During the period of conscription, it is free labor and is not paid.

Conscription, mainly after the autumn harvest and before spring ploughing, has a limited impact on society without delaying the agricultural season.

There are two kinds of conscription, one is the nearby conscription, mainly in the county, mainly to build roads, build canals, dig wells, dig river dams, etc., mainly for the benefit of the local area.

This kind of forced labor has almost no harm to the people, but it is very beneficial.

One is long-distance conscription, mainly out of the state, to hundreds of miles, thousands of miles away, to serve in the conscription. In the absence of a train, walking fifty miles a day, ten days on the road, and a month.

The distance is far away, the number of people is large, and all kinds of problems converge, which is easy to cause problems.

The stone man has one eye, beating the world against it.

The Yuan Dynasty was to repair the Yellow River and build the world to rebel.

In fact, is it wrong to repair the Yellow River?

No!

The Yellow River is uneasy, the world is uneasy!!

There is nothing wrong with repairing the Yellow River, but it can be mismanaged in an extensive way, which has caused a big mess.

In fact, it doesn't cost much to build a canal, anyway, it's free, and many things are free. It can be managed extensively, and it will cause big problems.

500,000 people gathered together, Xiang Yu was like a marshal, organized into an army, divided into fifty units, and worked in sections.

Monitor all over the place, and deal with problems in a timely manner.

"It's still too short. The harvest begins in September, and at the end of October, the harvest is completed, and spring planting begins in March next year. In other words, in the middle, there are only four months to build the canal...... If you calculate, it will be a month to go back and forth. There are only three months of construction time per year to build the canal! ”

Xiang Yu calculated the project, as well as the excavated earthwork.

Half a million people gathered, and the daily cost of food was enough to bring the price of food to the neighborhood.

It is also necessary to prevent officials from withholding food from migrant workers.

The canal should be built, and the autumn harvest and spring plowing should not be delayed. This is not something that can be compensated by paying migrant workers, and many times, even if you have money, you can't buy food.

Because of the inconvenient transportation, a lot of grain cannot be transported in.

Or, by the time the food arrived, many people would have starved to death.

Second, migrant workers must not be allowed to go hungry. The migrant workers of later generations are just arrears of wages. But many black-hearted officials in the Sui Dynasty were in arrears even in terms of food.

For example, shoddy, trade-in, sand, reselling grain, and so on.

Even if Xiang Yu, the prince, personally serves as the foreman, there are still subordinates who are corrupt.

Hundreds of heads were cut off in a row, and many officials relented.

After a long time of hard work, it is finally almost finished.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, in two years, Shanyang has been successfully built!" Xiao Meiniang said respectfully, at this moment, she is dressed as a man, like a handsome son.

"Shanyang, also known as the ancient ditch, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the husband was built, and the lonely was just dredged and expanded, and the amount of work was not large!"

Xiang Yu said: "Besides, this place is located in Huainan, and it is not too cold in winter, but in the north, especially Tongji Canal, it is difficult to say!" ”

In this era, there is no cotton, and there are no cotton clothes, and many people will freeze to death during winter construction.

Moreover, even if there is cotton, it is better not to do winter construction.

But if you don't do winter construction, it will only be a month at most.

It takes one month a year to build, which takes decades to complete the northern section of the canal.

"It's better to extend the construction period and pay your wages...... It should be a 100,000-strong engineering team to be responsible for the construction of a special factory, which can greatly increase wages...... In nature, it can be similar to the Production and Construction Corps! ”

Xiang Yu estimated.

Gathering hundreds of thousands, millions of people, gathered together, it seems okay to serve in the short term, but long-term service will affect the spring plowing and autumn harvest.

Moreover, the peasants are technically inferior to specialized workers

100,000 people can work 12 months a year, which is more efficient than millions of people, high efficiency, saving money, and easy to manage.

Shanyang, after the construction is completed.

The people of the neighborhood were disbanded one after another, and some of the taxes were exempted as a price for two consecutive years of forced labor.

At the same time, Xiang Yu led everyone to the north to build the Tongji Canal.

Tongji Canal is mainly to communicate the Huai River and the Yellow River, together with Sizhou and Kaifeng, to the Luoyang area.

……

Halfway through, the ranks parted.

Some of them were led by Yu Wenkai and continued to carry out surveying and mapping; Partly, Xiang Yu led more than a dozen guards towards Luoyang.

Walking and walking, the tiger prison is close at hand.

Looking at the steep checkpoint, Xiang Yu suddenly thought that in history, the Tang army fought here to fight the Great Xia Army, and in the fierce battle, Li Shimin led five hundred Xuanjia Army, won a surprise victory, attacked the key points of the Great Xia Army, broke the formation in one fell swoop, captured Dou Jiande, and completely laid the pattern of the Tang Dynasty dominating the world.

Still, here he comes.

Whether it is Li Yuan or Li Shimin, he is no longer able to establish the Tang Dynasty.

Walking here, gradually slowing down, the moss marks on the side of the stone steps are new, the canopy on both sides of the mountain road is green, the warbler does not cry, and the grass blades are crystal tender and yellow.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but stop the war horse, and couldn't help but feel agitated.

At this moment, a man and a woman also walked on the side of the road, the woman was in her twenties, her eyes were like water, her appearance was as beautiful as a fairy, she had a purple wood hairpin on her head, and she was dressed in a white dress, which was simple and charming.

The man is in his early twenties, elegant and indifferent.

"Brother Pei, it's been good lately!"

Xiang Yushang asked.

"Meet the Prince!" Pei Ju said respectfully, "Prince, but you want to go back to Beijing!" ”

Xiang Yu said: "That's right. If the canal is not repaired, the world will be uneasy. But simply relying on forced labor will delay spring ploughing; Don't delay spring ploughing, I don't know what year and month, before the construction can be completed! Therefore, I plan to set up an engineer corps to engage in the construction of specialized projects......"

Talking about some of his plans.

Pei Ju listened, and after a long time, he spoke: "Your Highness is diligent!" ”

Xiang Yu said: "The world is uneasy, the people's food and clothing have not been solved, I am uneasy!" ”

looked at Pei Ju and the accompanying woman again, one young and handsome, the other enchanting and colorful, like a fairy.

couldn't help laughing: "This is a lady?" ”

Pei Ju shook his head: "No! ”

The woman in white was Hui Zhilanxin, and immediately made a fortune, and said: "The concubine is lonely and clearing, this is polite." My father is Dugu Xin, my sister is Dugu Jialuo, and I am the seventh in the family. The prince should call me little aunt! ”

Xiang Yu was slightly stunned, but he still said respectfully: "Meet my little aunt!" ”

Dugu Qingxue said: "Prince, you can learn the Cihang Sword Codex!" ”

"Yes!"

Dugu Qing said: "Cihang Jingzhai actually accepted a male disciple!" ”

Xiang Yu was speechless.

Xiao Meiniang stepped forward and said, "Little aunt, but I'm going to Guanzhong!" ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Meiniang said again: "Little aunt, but if you want to see the queen!" ”

Dugu Qingxue flashed a trace of loneliness and said: "At that time, my father was killed, I was only three years old, I entered the Yin Kwai Sect, and I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so I may not be close!" ”

The plain dress, the indifferent state of mind, is like a female crown.

But the lying autumn waves, jade nose and cherry lips, slender waist, and soft body seem to not eat incense in the world.

Xiang Yu, Dugu Qingxue and Xiao Meiniang, when they arrived at a small pavilion, sat at the stone table, the rain outside the pavilion was Xiao Xiao, and the distant mountains were misty.

Looking at the indifferent lonely snow, it is obviously close in front of you, but it is far away in the sky, like a slender shadow of a lady on an ink painting.

Xiao Meiniang asked, and Dugu Qingxue replied.

Xiang Yu listened from the side.

Three glasses and two light wines, to a mountain of smoke and rain, the three of them chatted and speculated.
