Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 529 The completion of the four major reservoirs of the capital, a great achievement!
Of course, the loan can also be repaid in advance.

But, what does that sentence say, why do you have to pay back the money you borrowed based on your ability?
Can borrow more.

Zhou Jinyong was also taken aback, but after careful consideration, what Zhang Haogu said seemed to make sense. Now that the imperial court is spending so much, it is really impossible to allocate funds from the central government for the time being.

Take a loan, take a loan!

As long as there is enough money, as long as Henan's economy develops and the money is repaid, there will be more than enough.

A province, still less than 500 billion?

Borrowing, gambling is the future development.

Can the future development of newly acquired areas be poor?

Definitely not bad!
Look at Shandong, and then look at the capital.

No money, there is no such thing as no money.

Zhou Jinyong left.

Zhang Haogu began to discuss with Zhu Youxiao about the steam pump again.

How to expand the use of water pumps, how to expand the scope of use of water pumps, and how to transform steam engines so that they can be used for weaving, the most important issue is the railway.

Zhang Haogu really couldn't wait to ask Zhu Youxiao to build the train quickly, but he also knew that this was unlikely.

Being able to produce the pumping level in such a short period of time has already surprised Zhang Haogu. It is not easy to expect him to produce the train in a short period of time.

Zuo Guangdou came again and reported on this year's water conservancy project. Although Zhang Haogu was extremely at odds with him, Zuo Guangdou still needed Zhang Haogu if he wanted to do a good job in this water conservancy project.

Over the past two years, Zuo Guangdou has still built four reservoirs in the capital area. One is the Miyun Reservoir at the beginning of its construction. In order to ensure construction and flood control, 65 villages in the reservoir area were relocated in two batches. The area reaches 188 square kilometers, the water surface is 137000 mu, and the water depth is 40 meters to 60 meters. The rivers entering the reservoir are mainly Baihe River and Chaohe River.

In addition, there are Guanting Reservoir, Huairou Reservoir, and Haizi Reservoir. Basically, the four major reservoirs in the Jingshi area have been built, and the largest is Miyun Reservoir.

Naturally, the quality is not as good as that of later generations, and don't expect the reservoir to generate electricity, but it still has the functions of flood control, water storage for irrigation, water supply, and fish farming.

This still needs to thank the use of gunpowder, cement, and steel bars.

With luck, it is estimated that it will last for seven or eighty years.

As for after seven or eighty years, at that time, the technology must have been further improved, and it will be maintained at that time.

In order to build the four major reservoirs, Zuo Guangdou was busy, back and forth, mobilizing a total of 20 manpower, and using countless cement and steel. Directly burned Daming's 1000 billion treasure notes.

Cement plants and iron and steel plants also belittle flowers. However, in order to ensure quality, Zhang Haogu forcibly merged these factories, but let the officials do the work, and established an extremely strict bottom-up supervision mechanism.

Over the past two years, Daming has directly cultivated a large number of technical celebrities, and it has also given countless refugees a chance to eat.

In fact, these two years were not only a test of Daming's financial ability, but also food.

At least 20% of these 80.00 people are out-of-workers. They are not engaged in agricultural production, but they need to consume a lot of food. You can give the Daming Banknote, but whether this Daming Banknote can buy food is also a question. test.

Why did Dayuan end the calf? Isn’t it because of the construction of the Yellow River?

And now the projects that have been carried out in the capital, and the people they have mobilized, will not be much inferior to the scale of the original Yellow River construction.

Zhang Haogu specially established the Daming Construction Bureau for this purpose.

Give workers' children preferential treatment for education. In addition, the working hours are stipulated to death, and some entertainment activities are provided for them.

Enrich the spiritual life of workers.

This can be done within two years.

However, the construction of the four major reservoirs can basically guarantee that the capital can survive the drought.

"Oh, Mr. Zuo's move is really beneficial for thousands of years!"

Zhang Haogu looked at Zuo Guangdou with a smile, and there was still a water conservancy map in front of him and Zhu Youxiao. Zuo Guangdou pointed to several areas, and said in a low voice, "It's all supported by Yuanfu!"

Seeing that Zhang Haogu was not pleasing to the eye, Zuo Guangdou also had to admit that he still had to count on Zhang Haogu's support for him to be able to go so smoothly.

The second is Zhang Haogu's farm construction.

The 65 villages in the reservoir area are not relocated just because they are relocated. If you say you have relocated to other places, you will be given land and compensated. People have to believe you.

However, after Zhang Haogu finished tossing this group of gentry, he said that he would move if he said he would move, and build a new farm. As long as the compensation was in place, they would not have any complaints.

"In this way, there is no need to worry about water in the capital area!" Zhang Haogu sighed: "Such a large project, only I, Ming, can do it!" "

Zuo Guangdou's eyes also revealed a little bit of pride. These reservoirs were created by himself with a lot of thought and energy from the beginning. No matter what, after a thousand years, they will be written in the history books.

It can be regarded as leaving a name in history!

However, the task is still far from complete.

The entire capital still needs a further water network. In the future, at least it will be convenient for water and irrigation in the capital area. It is hard to get so many workers. Disband on the spot?

These people have become skilled workers.

As for the Zuo Fudu Imperial Envoy, don’t do it, don’t always think about criticizing people, think about it, what else can you contribute to Daming, technical talents should learn from Xu Guangqi honestly, don’t do it if you have nothing to do Mix politics.

Zuo Guangdou is also contradictory now, he can't understand some of Zhang Haogu's behaviors.

It is believed that this person killed innocent people indiscriminately, which hurt the peace of heaven.

However, from another point of view, if Zhang Haogu hadn't killed so many gentry with a knife, such a large project would be absolutely unimaginable.

Zuo Guangdou felt quite contradictory.

Without Zhang Haogu, I really don't want to leave this great achievement, let alone leave a name in history.

Emotionally, he felt that Zhang Haogu was wrong, but rationally, he felt that Zhang Haogu was right.

Contradictions tangled!

Then, Zuo Guangdou discovered that he had somehow become the commander of the Daming Water Conservancy Department's Yamen. From then on, he began to look at the whole country, besides the capital, there were also Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi.

In charge of national water affairs.

Those who are capable work harder, as long as they are not exhausted, they will use it to death.
