191 Ditching

Resettlement site planning is very critical to the overall disaster relief, and a reasonable resettlement site can maximize the allocation of resources and save the ineffective time.

The issue of the allocation of soldiers to patrols has been resolved, and there is an urgent need for more detailed planning of the resettlement sites.

Now there is no water source near this resettlement site, and there is no way to do this.

It is difficult to get water at Heiyaguan, and you have to go to a place more than ten miles away to fetch water, and the nearest water source on the resettlement site is 30 miles, which is equivalent to walking 15 kilometers, and that place is not a river or lake, or a mountain spring, if there are too many people in the place, you have to queue up, and you have to rely on a mountain spring to supply tens of thousands of people.

Even now these workers and the people who have been resettled can only get up early every day to get water, and a special team has been arranged to fetch water, and the daily work is to run back and forth to deliver water, so far there is no problem in the supply, after all, there are not many people, but when the time comes, a large number of disaster victims will definitely expose the problem.

Hu Yuan's biggest headache now is the problem of water, what to eat is okay to say, if you can't drink water, it's really urgent, especially when the weather is still so hot, a large number of victims are working under the scorching sun, and if you are not careful, you will suffer from heat stroke, and if you can't even drink water, it will be easy to die.

"Your Highness, do you want to send an additional team of men and horses to make some large water wheels to pull water near Qingzhou City?"

"Can you be sure when the disaster will pass?"

Hu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Old decay can't be sure." ”

"This method is useful, but there is no way to solve the fundamental problem, we can't determine when the disaster will end, if it lasts for a year and a half, people will go over to pull water every day, and it will still supply water to tens of thousands of people, how many times do you have to pull, and how many manpower will be allocated to pull water at that time?"

Hu Yuan hurriedly bowed his head: "It's the old decay who didn't think about it." ”

"I don't mean to blame the Master, don't take it personally." Chen Ze said softly: "After thinking about it, it's best to find a way to do it once and for all." ”

Hu Yuan was stunned: "Open, open a ditch?" ”

Chen Ze bowed slightly: "It seems that this can only be the case now." ”

"Your Royal Highness, this ......" Hu Yuan hurriedly said: "You care about the people, it is the blessing of the people, but a ditch is often tens of thousands of taels, and it requires a lot of recruitment, not to mention that most of this area is rocky, and it is not easy to open a ditch. ”

"I know that this will definitely be a loss in the short term, but Master, from a long-term perspective, if we can open a ditch and connect it directly to Heiya Pass, then from now on, from Qingzhou City to Heiya Pass, which is nearly a hundred miles away, is it possible to open up wasteland? How many people will this land be able to support? So from a long-term point of view, this ditch is definitely extremely cost-effective. ”

"Of course, this matter is very important, and opening a ditch does not mean that I can open it if I want to, it also depends on whether there is a possibility of opening a ditch in this place, I will go back and discuss this matter with Lu Fuzi and others, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible!"

Hu Yuan immediately sighed deeply: "Your Highness is very good! ”

"Master, polite, I'll go back now to discuss this matter, I still need to work hard here in the resettlement site."

Chen Ze did not waste time, and immediately set off to rush back to Qingzhou, and after arriving at the office, he began to discuss with Lu Qingyun and others about opening a ditch.

As soon as they heard that Chen Ze was going to open a ditch to reach the Black Tooth Pass, Lu Qingyun, Lin Yuanchao and the others also smiled bitterly, and then ...... Hurry up and persuade.

Trenching is a very large project, and it requires so much manpower and financial resources that even the preparation for digging a trench is at least a few months.

After all, if you want to open a ditch, you have to make the most of the local terrain, otherwise the cost will be outrageous.

There is a mountain in front of it is impossible to directly let people move the mountain, if you want to go through, you have to find the weakest point, manual excavation, even if it is blown up with gunpowder, it is quite time-consuming and laborious to carry away these residues, this year there is no too accurate blasting technology, it is a bit metaphysical to want to use gunpowder to open the way, and the gunpowder needed to open the ditch is also a huge amount, and the money for the purchase of gunpowder is used to pay monthly money to the people who pull the water, and it is not a problem for the whole year and a half.

Everyone knows very well that this is a long-term beneficial thing, but the problem is that the current situation is not allowed, all the money should be spent on the blade, and for the time being, do not do any larger projects, at present, if you can deal with it, you will deal with it temporarily, and it is not too late to consider these problems when the finances are really relaxed.

Even if they agree to open a ditch, the people of Qingzhou may not necessarily be able to understand.

Now to open a ditch is definitely a waste of money, not everyone has a long-term vision, can not be said to be ignorant, but most people are more concerned about the changes in front of them, the matter of opening a ditch is not what the people of Qingzhou urgently need, not necessarily able to support you.

After hearing everyone's thoughts, Chen Ze's mind calmed down suddenly.

Although it was not an impulsive idea, it was still carefully considered, but after such a deeper analysis by Lu Qingyun and others, Chen Ze also found that he had ignored some problems.

Many times Chen Ze will subconsciously look at the problem with the eyes of modern people, and this kind of ditching thing must be welcomed by everyone in the original world, because of the solid foundation of a big country, things like ditching have become very easy, and it can't reach the point of working hard and losing money.

The second is that everyone in the original world is generally educated, and they also have a materialist view of history, knowing that opening ditches is a long-term beneficial thing, but most of the people at the bottom of Dachu focus on what they can eat today and whether they will starve to death tomorrow, and they will not think so much about it at all.

The loss was that he was persuaded by Lu Qingyun and others, and Chen Ze also temporarily gave up the idea of opening a ditch, and when the technology matures in the future, it will not be too late to open it again if there are conditions.

Since you have given up digging ditches, you still have to follow Hu Yuan's method, send people to pull water, and then build a large reservoir directly near the resettlement site to supply water, and then this water puller must recruit a group of people, and at the same time have to start making some relatively large water wheels, this task soon fell on the cement workshop.

Xu Hai was quite confident in this task, and immediately took over the task, ensuring that all tasks would be completed within seven days!
