Wang Rong looked at the simple spinning wheel, shook his head, and then asked Lin Musen on the side: "Uncle Lin, I don't know much about the affairs of the craftsman's house, with Tu Shenze's situation, can I use water power to build a water-powered spinning wheel?" ”

Lin Musen shook his head with an embarrassed face, and said, "So that the commander knows that the entrance to Tu Shenze is blocked by the sediment carried by the upper reaches of the big river every year. Over the years, Tushenze's area has been shrinking day by day, on the one hand, because of indiscriminate cutting and indiscriminate production, and on the other hand, because the soil in the upper reaches of the river is involved in the river water, forming sediment, and gradually blocking the interface between Tushenze and the river. ”

Wang Rong listened to Lin Musen's words, frowned, and asked, "So this Tu Shenze is not enough to use whether it is the amount of water or the flow of water?" ”

Lin Musen nodded and said, "What Du Wei said is extremely true, the inlet of the river is small, and it can't form such a big momentum, so you can also see that we didn't build a water drain or a water wheel in Tu Shenze. ”

Wang Rong then asked: "Didn't the Li County Order organize people to carry out dredging and expand the river inlet?" ”

Wang Rong looked at Lin Musen's expression, and instantly understood that he had asked a nonsense. In the past two years, the war has not stopped, and when the war stopped, it was the busy season of agriculture or the cold winter and wax moon, how could there be manpower and time to build water conservancy.

Wang Wei said goodbye to Lin Musen and asked Lin Musen to find a way to improve the spinning wheel, and as long as the craftsmen who could come up with a way and successfully improve it, they would reward them with good land and goods.

Wang Rong's decision greatly inspired the craftsmen of the craftsman institute, and they brought all kinds of spinning wheels to the craftsman institute, and all kinds of strange ideas emerged one after another

Wang Rong didn't care about these things, but came to the Ya of Luchuan County and saw Li Qian who was working there. Wang Rong didn't bother too much, but sat quietly on the side. Wang Mo was very discerning and sent a pot of tea.

Li Qian buried his head in the document, and after processing the last approval, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and reached for the teacup on the side. Then, he watched in amazement as Wang Rong sat there leisurely drinking tea.

Li Qian hurriedly got up, walked in front of Wang Rong, bowed and saluted: "The captain is coming, if you miss the distance, forgive your sins." ”

Wang Rong smiled, got up and helped Li Qian up, and said, "Li Lao is working the case, and the kid can't bear to disturb him. ”

Li Qian knew that Wang Rong would not easily come to the county government, and there must be something wrong when he came, so he asked with a puzzled face: "Du Wei came this time, but is there anything important?" ”

Wang Rong nodded and said: "I went to the craftsman's institute today to inspect the situation of Tu Shenze, and found that the opening of the river into Ze is already very small, and it is basically about to be blocked, so I want to come over and ask Li Lao Ke if there is any way?" ”

Li Qian listened to Wang Rong's words, with a helpless face, he sat on the seat next to him, looked at Wang Rong and said: "Duwei, do you know something, since the reconstruction of the city, various projects have been launched, and there have been several wars, the young and strong have suffered heavy casualties, and the people's power has basically been exhausted. ”

Wang Rong knew that what Li Qian said was the truth, he nodded and said: "I have already figured out these situations, so I have an idea, I don't know if it will work." ”

"Captain, please."

Li Qian was very curious about Wang Rong's thoughts.

Wang Rong said: "Now that the war in my Shuofang County is over, I mean to put the soldiers back home, let them rest well, and cultivate their own fields. ”

Li Qian nodded, now that spring plowing is about to begin, if there is no green and strong, then the farmland will not be planted well, and if the farmland is not planted well, there will be no food, and without food, there will be a risk of famine.

Wang Rong took a sip of tea, and then said: "When the spring ploughing is over and the young and strong labor is liberated, I plan to gather them together for water conservancy construction." ”

Li Qian quickly understood the four words of water conservancy construction, and he asked incredulously: "Duwei, are you planning to slaughter Shen Ze?" ”

Wang Rong nodded and said: "The Craftsman Institute now has cement as a building material, and I plan to use cement to reinforce the south, west and east banks of Tushenze, let go of the north bank, and at the same time expand and strengthen the river inlet." ”

Li Qian frowned, thought about it carefully, and said: "Du Wei's idea is feasible, the north shore of Tu Shenze is all sandy, and there is very little grassland and arable land. However, Duwei, even if the inlet of the river is expanded, when the quicksand in the upper reaches is infiltrated and the sediment gathers, just expanding the inlet will not solve the fundamental problem. ”

Li Qian is telling the truth, in the earliest days, the northern branch of the river was the main stream of the river, and under the perennial months, due to the infiltration of quicksand and the alluvial floods of Wolf Mountain, the riverbed was raised and silted. The northern and southern tributaries became the two main tributaries of the river, while the southern tributaries increasingly overshadowed the northern tributaries.

Of course, Wang Rong knew how huge a project he wanted to control the river was, but he had to do it, and throughout history, every city in China was prosperous when the water was prosperous, and the people were prosperous when the water dried up. If the northern tributary river is not treated now, even if Tushenze is built into a reservoir, it will be no source of water.

Wang Rong listened to Li Qian's words, nodded, and said: "Elder Li's concerns are right, so I am ready to introduce a policy to encourage urban residents to plant trees on both sides of the river, one tree for each type of life, and reward 100 yuan." If you plant a tree in the southern desert, you will be rewarded with 200 yuan. ”

Li Qian heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Captain, this is another big expense." ”

Wang Rong said with a smile: "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. And it's better to give this money to the people than to store it in a warehouse and rot. ”

Wang's original intention was to stimulate the economy, and people would plant trees as rewards, so that they would have more money to spend. As long as the people consume, there will be commercial taxes. Dayong's commercial tax is 10 taxes and 1, which is much heavier than the 15 taxes of agricultural tax. Due to the reconstruction of the city, the commercial tax and agricultural tax were both ten taxes and one, and the poll tax was abolished and incorporated into the commercial tax and agricultural tax. This not only stimulates people's livelihood, but also makes the county government rich.

Wang Rong chatted with Li Qian about some things about the city in the county office, and then got up and took his leave.

When Wang Rong walked into the Duwei Mansion, Changshi Chu Kun walked over quickly, and after bowing his hand, he said to Wang Rong: "Duwei, the military report transferred from the Northern Army, after the Pusha Army from afar retreated westward, did not return to the Western Regions, but attacked Juyanze, burned and plundered the tribes there. ”
