It's really a super ...... Invincible project......

And this project ...... There seems to be some impressions in Zhu Houwei's mind in the memories of later generations.

However, Zhu Houwei remembers that this super project was not planned by the state, but by some planning ideas from the private sector, and there was not even action, and the largest water conservancy plan planned by the state at that time was the south-to-north water diversion project.

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project, Zhu Houwei also thought about it, but it was too difficult, so it has never been really implemented, after all, compared with super infrastructure, he feels that it is more important to improve people's livelihood first.

However, Zhu Houzhao obviously didn't think so much, and still said excitedly: "If water can be introduced into Xinjiang, then the desert will become an oasis, at least 50,000 mu of fertile land can be reclaimed, and at least 20,000 people can be fed, and Xinjiang may become as rich as Jiangnan!"

"How?" The corners of Zhu Houwei's mouth twitched.

"It's easy!" Zhu Houzhao hated that he didn't have a map of the mountains and rivers in his hand, so he couldn't let him point out the country......

"I have two routes to bring water to Xinjiang, you see, the first one we can start from the Brahmaputra River, connect the Nu River, the Lancang River, the Jinsha River, the Yalong River, the Dadu River, the Min River, and the Bailong River that flow through the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, along the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, through the Yellow River Basin, the Wei River, and the Tao River...... Finally, it enters Xinjiang and introduces those water-scarce areas...... The second way, which is simpler, is to divert water from Lake Baikal as you are talking about......"

"Brother Huang is serious?"

Zhu Houzhao seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, because he heard a thick question from his brother's tone.

"Not feasible?" Zhu Houzhao asked, displeased.

Zhu Houwei shook his head and said: "From the source of the Brahmaputra River to divert water into Xinjiang, the total length is more than 10,000 li, the amount of work is outrageous, and the altitude of Tibet is too high, the height difference is huge, if you want to divert water, you must build a dam, and the height of the dam is not less than 300 zhang, in addition, there are many mountains on this line, and it is necessary to penetrate the mountain range through the tunnel, but this line is prone to earthquakes, once it encounters a larger earthquake, the tunnel will face the risk of collapse at any time."

There are also many Gobi and deserts in Xinjiang, and if you want to do such a water conservancy project, you must first control the environment in Xinjiang, which is another big project.

The reason why Xinjiang is short of water is because of the drought, the sunshine hours are too long, and the annual rainfall is even less than every, so the water will be brought in to face a large amount of sunshine evaporation, which is also another problem, and it is God's problem, at least the current manpower has almost no possibility of overcoming......"

Zhu Houzhao saw eight words from his brother's gaze......

Unrealistic, on paper!

"And what about from Lake Baikal?" Zhu Houzhao was a little unwilling.

"Lake Baikal does not have these problems, and the distance is only more than 2,000 miles, but it is ......"

"It's nothing, you just say it's feasible or not."

Zhu Houwei was speechless, Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake on the earth, with more than 300 rivers flowing into it, but to divert water from that side, unlike when the Brahmaputra River is diverted, you can pass through many rivers, but Baikal can only be dug hard to Xinjiang......

What is the amount of work to dig a river of more than 2,000 miles, and in order to ensure that the water source is abundant, this river channel must definitely be wide!

Later generations have also discussed this plan, but basically impossible, two reasons, one is that Lake Baikal is Russian, China cannot bring water from foreign countries, there are too many diplomatic contradictions, of course, this is not a problem now, because Lake Baikal is Ming.

There is also the amount of water, Xinjiang is seriously short of water, so the water diversion is indispensable, and it is useless to divert less water, but if a large amount of water is diverted from Lake Baikal into Xinjiang, it will inevitably cause serious damage to the ecological environment around Lake Baikal.

Obviously, it is impossible to convince Zhu Houzhao of this reason......

As for feasibility...... This one really has!

Compared with later generations, the current Ming Dynasty has obvious shortcomings, that is, there are no large-scale construction machinery, such as excavators......

But Qin Shi Huang was able to build the Great Wall two thousand years ago, and the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty was not picked out by manpower?

Today's Ming Dynasty is most lacking in manpower!

And there is no need to use the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is really impossible to go to the Americas, Western Europe, and the Middle East to work as coolies.

As for the Wa Kingdom...... Zhu Houwei really wanted to slaughter, and he did so in the past few months, and now the number of civilians slaughtered by the Ming army in the small half of the Japanese country has exceeded 3 million, and hundreds of thousands of women and children have been arrested......

Zhu Houzhao's words did not make him move the slightest compassion, the more merciful he was to the Japanese country, the more cruel he was to himself, and the more he could not overcome the hurdle in his heart.

But now Zhu Houwei suddenly felt that it was just like this, isn't it a bit cheap to be a ghost, if these ghosts are allowed to dig a river of 2,000 miles, and completely ignore the casualties, then the cost of this project will be minimized.

"Feasible!" Zhu Houwei finally said the decision that satisfied Zhu Houzhao!

"Zhou Ning!"

"The last general!"

"You also heard Emperor Taiwu's words, change the method of slaughter, continue to slaughter those over forty years old, and send the rest to Xinjiang and Lake Baikal to dig rivers as coolies, send troops to supervise the work, but if there are complaints or even resistance, they will be killed!"

"The last will obey!"

Zhu Houzhao's face finally looked too good, in fact, he was not against the massacre, and the reason why he opposed it was not because he felt that too many Japanese people had died, but because he found that his brother had become more and more violent recently, and out of his brother's concern, he had to stop it.

After all, Zhu Houwei is different from him, his brother has never even been on the battlefield, let alone seen what a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood is, uncontrolled killing is easy to have psychological problems, this is not a cold play, a stroke of the imperial pen, thousands of heads fall to the ground, this is the battlefield, no matter how vulnerable the Japanese army is, it is also a battlefield!

The battlefield is the place of death and life, and in the midst of the battlefield, you can feel what death is the most, even if you kill the enemy, you can kill unarmed civilians, and you can easily slaughter millions!

Even if it were him, he might not be able to bear it!

This is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao persuaded Zhu Houwei not to go to the expedition in person, the expedition is immersive, but if a general is dispatched, then even if the slaughter of the Japanese country is really extinct, when it is sent to Zhu Houwei, it is just a matter of a few words, what can you feel intuitively......

If you don't have an intuitive feeling, then even if you die a lot, it's just a number, but now in the Wa Kingdom, every massacre, the death of civilians is a miserable wail in the night sky, and the air seems to smell blood.

In the long run, how can the mind not be eroded, the Ming Dynasty finally radiated vitality under the governance of Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Houzhao naturally did not want to see the appearance of a tyrant, ruining everything that was hard-won......
