Starting from Yun County, we visited Fang County, Zhushan County, and Zhuxi County in turn.

When I returned to Yunxian, ten days had passed.

In ten days, it is generally enough for one prefecture in the plain to run through all the counties, but in Yunyang, only three counties in the south are gone.

The rugged area of Yunyang's topography is vividly reflected.

Especially from Zhuxi County to Yunxian County, take the most convenient land route, and walk for 3 days.

It's a situation where everyone rides a horse and doesn't carry too much luggage. If it is a cargo shipment, the time is more than doubled.

On the way, Wang Hongyu made a preliminary summary of his visit to the three counties.

The three counties have several things in common: rough roads, mountains everywhere, few fertile fields, lush vegetation, numerous rivers, limited populations, many displaced people, and independent villages.

Each seems to be a fatal flaw, but this kind of place is especially good for muffling and making a fortune.

The road is rugged, and the mountains are high and the civil officials are far away.

Everywhere there are mountains, a whole lot of minerals.

There is little fertile land and lush vegetation, just for sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as sheep and donkeys.

There are many rivers and a limited population, and the conditions for aquaculture, canals, and the development of tuntian and industry are all in place.

There are many displaced people, and the village is independent...... Is this still a thing? The eldest brother's family and friends have already laid out their contacts in this regard, and they will soon be able to help~

The commonalities of the three counties can be turned into advantages.

Then the three counties also have their own characteristics.

The differences in transportation and industry can be focused on in the follow-up planning.

The differences in the main contradictions in various places are very worthy of attention.

The main contradiction in the three localities is not the contradiction between man and land, the contradiction between peasants and landlords, because the three counties together have more than a dozen relatively rich households, there are no big landlords, and all counties can grant land, but the three counties do not have much flat land.

The librarian has taught us to seek truth from facts, and not to be rigid and dogmatic.

Therefore, as the librarian of the Jingshi Mobile School, Wang Hongyu will not use rigid methods and use orders and dogmas to fight local tyrants and divide the fields.

How many local tyrants and more than a dozen rich peasants are at most in these three counties, and beat them?

This is not the contradiction among the peasants, and it will kill people if they are rigid......

If anyone said that the librarian rose by fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, then his old man was the first to disagree.

……

This time I returned to Yunyang Prefecture to govern Yun County, and everything was like a world away.

At his own behest, the library carried out public publicity activities and made several exchanges with Yunshan Academy.

Of course, foreign missionaries were wary of some traditional Confucian literati.

However, Wang Zheng in the library, who has been running back and forth in the past few days, has made the corrupt Confucian have nothing to say with his ability in literature, science and engineering, speech, and translation, and has won the popularity of a group of local enlightened scholars.

With the assistance of the prefect and Tongzhi, a bookstore was selected to be built in Yunyang.

The location of the bookstore was chosen between the government office and the academy, and it was just convenient for these two groups to buy books on a daily basis in the county.

In addition to selling books, the bookstore also has the functions of renting books, reading books and tea shops.

As for the expanded catering, chess and card, drama, painting, and music industries, they also chose a few marginal places in the county, waiting for Wang Hongyu to make a decision.

During the 10-day inspection, Wang Hongyu instructed, Wang Zheng took the lead, and Zhou Zhaoan and other people who were familiar with the local area contributed to negotiate together.

Following Zhang Mingshi and other military generals, the civil and political talents around him finally have people who can be trusted, such as Wang Zheng and Zhou Zhaoan.

The cultural negotiation went smoothly, and the Hunhe Army did not have to worry.

After the arrival of the palace in the past few days, they were stationed outside the city, and according to the order, they sent 100 people to bring Zhou Dunji's coffin into the city to publicize the deeds of the bloody battle of the Hunhe River in Yunyang.

Yunyang does not have so many local and foreign differences, Zhou Dunji is a person who came here from Sichuan, that is, a local person, and the people are proud of him.

When Wang Hongyu went to Fang County, Zhushan County, and Zhuxi County to inspect the three counties, he considered that Li Tiezhu and Qiao Jibai's two and a half eldest children stayed in Yun County to carry out expansion work, which was an opportunity to train them.

Children have the benefits of children, these two big and small combinations have been quite harmonious, the so-called close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, the two children unconsciously affect each other, especially under mutual competition, mutual learning, and mutual supervision, the two have changed a lot.

Before leaving, Wang Hongyu explained to them that when the Hunhe Army first arrived in Yunyang, the first thing was to develop relations with the people of Yunyang, which was very important for the progress of developing Yunyang, and it was also related to whether the Hunhe Army could quickly develop and grow in Yunyang.

Previously, Wang Hongyu asked Li Tiezhu to learn architecture and mechanics from Wang Zheng. It is also recommended that the Song Dynasty compile a book of "Building the French Style" that was expanded and adapted by the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty for Li Tiezhu to learn.

In particular, it manufactures bamboo and wooden waterwheels, pears, flat-bottomed sand boats, fishing boats, small and medium-sized shack boats, two-wheeled carriages, and wheelbarrows. These agricultural and commercial products are exactly what Yunyang urgently needs.

On the way to Yunyang, along the way, I saw that the Han River meandered out of the mountain valley, and there was a lot of siltation on both banks.

There are many places where ordinary waterwheels can be used, and local carpenters can't build waterwheels, so they take water and water the ground is very primitive: rolling water, or wooden buckets to get water, not to mention wasting a lot of manpower, and the effect is very small.

In other words, the water wheel had to be automatically lifted by a water wheel, and the height of the water wheel had to be high, and the local carpenters did not have the ability to build such a large water wheel, and even if they could, there was no way to stand up and fix it.

More than 10 years ago, a landlord here saw a waterwheel in the Nanyang River, and felt that spending money to buy one would save the labor of watering in less than two years, but the flood in summer washed it away.

Hanshui is a big river, and even if the waterwheel can't wash away the big water in the rainy season, it will be damaged by the rocks brought by the rapids; In addition, boats traveling up and down will also run into waterwheels, which will be a big accident.

In Li Tiezhu's view, no matter how big the waterwheel is, it can stand up, because it is necessary to dig a semi-circular short diversion channel to erect a waterwheel near the big river, and the river water flows through the position of the waterwheel and flows back into the river.

The waterwheel is installed on the canal when there is no water in the canal, and the canal mouth is closed when the water is not used. Of course, the entrance and exit of the aqueduct should be built with stone blocks to prevent collapse.

In less than ten days, Li Tiezhu led his craftsmen and village carpenters to build the waterwheel, and it was built directly on the canal. As for digging ditches and building canal openings, the village will do it themselves.

When Wang Hongyu came back from the investigation, except for the masonry and stone, everything else was finished, and even the bamboo trough and branch canal for water diversion were dug up. More than 40 households in the village contributed money and efforts, and the help of the Hunhe Army was not fast?

There are more than 600 acres of land in this river bay in total, and after building a few waterwheels on the canal, it will completely become watered land, and a family will be rich and surplus if more than ten acres of watered land is planted with rice, not to mention that each family still has a lot of sloping land.

The Hunhe Army has been well received, and Li Tiezhu has become a fragrant glutton.

This village will be rich in the future, and some people will be able to join Wang Hongyu's industry.
