Chapter 646: Drought
As we entered June, an expected drought struck Guanzhong.
Since May, there has been no rain.
In the middle of summer in June, all the crops are dried up, and the Yellow River is getting thinner.
In order to compete for the few remaining water sources, several small fights broke out in various places.
Although they were suppressed by the impeachment and several masterminds were beheaded for public display, the panic of the people was spreading.
Just a year or two of good life is about to go down the drain in the blink of an eye.
Yang Zheng is also a little angry, if it accumulates for another year this year, the vitality of Guanzhong will almost be restored, but God doesn't give it a try.
However, this land in Guanzhong has always been like this, every few years there are droughts, floods, and locust plagues, and several emperors of the Tang Dynasty have to go to Kanto to beg for food, not to mention Yang Zheng.
Fortunately, Zhang Fu, Li Mi, and Shouliang have vigorously built the Baochuan Road in the past two years, so that the materials in Shuzhong can be imported into Guanzhong.
Although there is a lot of wear and tear along the way, and the efficiency is not high, it is better than nothing.
In addition to Shuzhong, after so many years of operation, Hehuang has long become the granary of Qin.
The drought in Guanzhong did not affect the area.
"The grain and grass in Hehuangshu are enough to support Guanzhong for three months, plus the cattle and sheep in the pasture, it is not difficult to survive this year." The words that came out of Lu Zhi's mouth made Yang Zheng feel a lot more at ease.
"If you can get through this year, how about next year?"
As a monarch, Yang Zheng had to think farther.
If this drought continues into next year, the good fortune of Qin will collapse, and the people will flee back to Shuzhong.
"The king of Ji has his own natural appearance." Lu Zhi arched.
These words made Yang Zheng feel that he was going to give up treatment and lie down obediently.
"There is a big drought in Guanzhong, is there no big drought in Kanto?" Yang Zheng's gaze turned to Zhao Aqi.
Zhao Aqi said embarrassedly: "Back to the king, Huaibei and Qingxu continue to rain heavily, there are small-scale floods, the Han River is flooding, and Nanyang is ......."
What is the death of drought and waterlogging?
Yang Zheng also waved his hand weakly, telling him to stop talking.
The hall suddenly became silent.
Zhao Aqi's embarrassment spread to everyone, and everyone stared at each other.
Lu Zhi coughed, "Since the drought is inevitable this year, we will start this year to levy young and strong, expand Chang'an, repair the Qin Palace, and provide relief through work, so as to avoid the people being bewitched." ”
That's a good idea.
The capital of the Qin State must have been in Chang'an.
The current Chang'an has been ravaged since the end of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and Guo Yan are not the masters of pity and cherishing jade, killing people and setting fires are good hands, and governing the local ...... Forget it, Li Dao and Guo Yan attacked each other, when the three auxiliary people were still hundreds of thousands of households, and the soldiers and others released troops to rob the strategy, attacked the city, the people were hungry, and they ate each other in two years.
Chang'an is dilapidated and narrow, the water pollution is serious, and there is a surging bitter taste in the water that is eaten and drunk every day.
The urban pattern has no rules and regulations, no layout, and the government offices and residential buildings are staggered, which is very chaotic, and there is no atmosphere of a big country at all.
Yang Zheng's Qin Wangfu was also the general mansion of Zhengxi that year.
The territory of Great Qin is so big, you can't keep nesting in the dilapidated Chang'an City, right?
But instead of expanding, it's better to rebuild.
Chang'an City is bordered by Weishui in the north, and Weishui often shifts, and there is a threat of flooding Chang'an at any time, and waterlogging at every turn is really a troublesome matter. …
"How about rebuilding a city on the Dragon's Head?" Yang Zheng pointed to the sand table.
Sui Daxing, Tang Chang'an is actually here.
The terrain of Longshou Plateau is higher, close to Ba, Chan and Weisanshui, and it occupies a favorable geographical position militarily.
"If it is newly built, at least seven or eight years or more, now Tongguan has not been down, there will be a big war at any time, at this time the construction of a large number of people is only afraid of labor and money, and the city can not be built." Sure enough, Lu Zhi was the first to object.
Yang Zheng stared at the sand table, recalling the Chang'an City reproduced by later generations, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, "Of course, it is not achieved overnight, Chang'an can be planned as a workshop, and repairing a workshop is to repair a city, so as to continue to expand, seven or eight years can not be completed, ten or fifteen years can always be completed!" ”
This is the equivalent of a modular design for later generations.
Suo Jing arched his hand and said: "This strategy is very feasible!" ”
After all, young people are young people, with flexible minds, and they quickly understood what Yang Zheng meant.
"Now that there is a big drought, you can use work for relief, and in the future, you can also recruit people with wages." Yang Zheng lacks everything, but he is not short of money.
The salt lake in Qinghai, the leather in Liangzhou, the cattle and sheep in Hetao, and the brocade tea in Shu are all money, and the Hexi Corridor itself is money.
In the future, if there is no drought, people can be recruited to work and solve the employment ......
If the people have a way to live, they will not think about it every day, and they will not flee back to Shuzhong.
"If this can really be the case, it is also a policy to benefit the people." As long as he doesn't hurt the people, Lu Zhi will not object.
After Chang'an City was destroyed by Li Dao Guo Yan, it was no longer the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty in the past.
"Then this matter is decided, and it will be handed over to You'an, you can find good craftsmen in the world, and the children of Qingying can also be promoted, so you don't need to be in a hurry."
Suo Jing was stunned for a moment, "The minister takes the order." ”
Lu Zhi arched his hand and said: "The minister recommends one person, and he can assist Zuo You'an." ”
"Lu Gong, please speak."
"Uncle Ji Kang Ji night!"
Ji kang?
This person is an all-rounder like Du Pre, even if he doesn't understand architecture, he also understands aesthetics, and with him and Suo Jing, great things can be done.
Danqing calligraphy, like architecture, pays attention to layout and beauty.
Ji Kang even strikes iron, and the building should also be able to get started quickly.
Besides, Ji Kang has eaten white rice for so many years, he must do something, right?
"Ling Suo Jing is the construction envoy, and Ji Kang is the deputy construction envoy!" Yang Zheng made a decision directly.
Chen Shou wrote the requisition order, and the guards went with the paperwork in hand.
Chang'an City is not big, Ji Kang's mansion is next door to the Qin Palace, and there is at most a stick of incense back and forth.
But the guards replied with a depressed face, "King, Ji Kang refused to obey the order and drove his subordinates out!" ”
"What a big bold!" Liu Heng exploded on the spot.
But the people present have long been familiar with his character, and the more they take him seriously, the more people stop him, the more excited he becomes, and if no one pays attention, he will find himself to go down the stairs.
Lu Zhi arched his hand and said: "Uncle Ji is lying on the dragon at night, you can only see it, you can't bend it!" ”
Of course, the real celebrities who have the ability are more temperamental.
"Then Lone will go on a trip in person and look at the thatched house." Yang Zheng knows the elegance when he hears the string song, and his reputation is mutually successful.
Ji Kang is so high, and if he lifts him up, he will also get a name for his talent.
At that moment, Yang Zheng went straight to Ji Kang's mansion surrounded by a soldier.
Since Sima Zhao's violent death, Yang Zheng's security level has risen to a new level.
Clearly, there are more than 1,000 guards accompanying him, and secretly there are brocade guards to protect him.
came with such a big fanfare and murderous spirit, which made Ji Fu jump for a while.
"Oh no, King Qin has come to destroy the door!"
I don't know who roared inside, and suddenly the cry shook the sky.
Yang Zheng smiled bitterly, is his reputation so stinky?
"What howl? It's not yet time for you to mourn. Liu Heng yelled.
This guy was already ugly and vicious, and he was even more frightened inside.
Yang Zheng hurriedly entered.
Ji Kang and Yanghu sat opposite each other in the pavilion, looking at everything in front of them, "Why did King Qin come?" ”
Baume & Mercier is Baume & Mercier, Mount Tai collapses in front and does not change color.
After so many years, Ji Kang is still as outstanding and elegant as before.
No wonder Zhong will miss him.
