Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 371 Li Tai's Kindness

To be honest, compared to the canal because Tai Sui had helped Li Tai complete the construction work, all Li Tai needed was dredging and maintenance.

Relatively speaking, this is really not a difficult task. As long as standardization is implemented and taxes are collected, the mouth-to-mouth system can basically be implemented smoothly.

But road construction is different, because no one occupies the river, or even if some bandits occupy a certain section of the river, the imperial court can send troops to wipe out the other party, and let the soldiers improve their experience to accelerate their growth. .

On the road, this method will not work.

Because a lot of land is owned by the owner, it would be easier to say if we only widen the original road. With Wang Zhenru's working experience all the time, this is not a difficult task at all.

What is really difficult is Li Tai's proposal to build a highway specially for cars and horses to run.

To be precise, Li Tai proposed to build this road in the form of a viaduct, so as to realize the diversion between freight vehicles and pedestrians, so as to further increase the speed of goods flow.

However, earth cement was produced by accident, no matter what the principle is, after a year of adjustments, the supply has been stabilized.

But because I don't know the specific principle, it is still very difficult to make further improvements, and it is still at the soil cement level.

However, this level of cement is definitely enough to build roads, especially the roads that build winding mountains, which is even more precious.

Because between regions in China, there is often a detour due to mountains and rivers.

And Li Tai pointed out that the roads to be built are either viaducts or winding mountain roads.

Both of these are not too difficult technically, at least for Datang, he has already mastered the corresponding technology.

For example, as long as it has the level of Tianjin Bridge, it is not difficult to build a viaduct on the road.

As for the winding mountain road, it is a representative of high quality and low price, not to mention that there is a large section of winding mountain road from Qinzhi to Shaanxi.

In fact, before the technology of the shield machine was fully mastered by Huaxia, the mainstream of Huaxia's infrastructure was still a relatively easy way to climb mountains and ridges, such as winding mountain roads.

However, since the mastery of the shield machine, the large and small places in the country that need to go around the mountain have basically used the shield machine to create tunnels to realize the new infrastructure.

So things like winding mountain roads are actually quite ancient road inventions, but they may not be completely eliminated even in modern times.

As for the shield machine, did Li Tai dare to think about it? !
Li Tai's steam engine can effectively exert the power of a horse, Li Tai is afraid that the corners of Li Tai's mouth will burst into tears in his dreams.

Li Tai only hopes that the steam engine can follow Moore's Law sometime.

But the reality is that although I pour money into the steam engine every year, I am still far from seeing the real and effective results.

Now the most successful and effective invention of the steam engine in agriculture is the steam mill, but in terms of cost, water conservancy is more convenient, not to mention water conservancy, the cost of even a donkey is much lower than that of a steam mill.

All in all, keep going.

"Forced relocation!?" Wang Zhenru shook his head repeatedly when he heard Li Tai's suggestion.

"Relocating the land again, if forced to relocate, I am afraid that it will cause public resentment, and we are watching the road construction from top to bottom.

It would be bad if there were public grievances, or even human lives! "

"Who are these people who disagree?" Li Tai asked after hearing Wang Zhenru's words.

Wang Zhenru said helplessly: "The road we want to build is to go from Luoyang to Zhengzhou through the northern foot of Songshan Mountain.

Whether it is the people who fled to the mountains in the Sui Dynasty, or hermits like Dubiejia or Sun Shenxian, there are actually quite a lot of them in this section! "

"There are still people fleeing from the former Sui Dynasty in Songshan Mountain?" Li Tai couldn't help being a little stunned when he heard Wang Zhenru's words. As for the hermits, they were basically from aristocratic families, and they were handed over to the Zheng family in Xingyang.

"There must be!" Wang Zhenru looked at Li Tai as if he couldn't believe it at all, and explained,
"The people who fled to the deep mountains are generally not alone, but several families fled to the deep mountains together.

They usually reclaim a piece of land on a sunny slope and try to grow food to survive.

It’s fine if it’s not reclaimed, but as long as it’s reclaimed, basically you won’t go down the mountain except to buy necessities like salt! "

"But wouldn't they be out of touch with society in this way? Could it be that when they came down, they didn't see the development of the town, and they were willing to guard the one-acre three-point field on the mountain?" Li Tai expressed his incomprehension when he heard Wang Zhenru's words.

And Wang Zhenru couldn't help but think of the small villages on the mountains that he and Fan Yuefeng saw when they went to draw, and said helplessly: "There is no tax on the mountains, and no one manages their fields, so they live relatively peacefully!"

"A tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger..." Li Tai didn't know that he wasn't complaining, but he understood the mentality of those people on the mountain.

It's very simple, it's just looking for a security.

Don't look at the fields they have reclaimed, but these fields are all Susukida. Even if the rich want to seize it, they will seize the kind of rich fields by the water. Who cares about the fields on these mountains.

You must know that even the landlord will calculate the cost, and these mountain fields are basically ignored.

When collecting rent, it is impossible for four or five people to come over the mountains and mountains. As a result, a village only collects one stone of rice, which is not enough for these people's rations!
So some people in the town knew that many people had fled to the mountains, so they just turned a blind eye.

Of course, at the end of the dynasty, these places were also the easiest to transfer from villagers to bandits, and it was relatively difficult to clean them up.

"King Wei, please be careful, now that the saints rule the world, the sea is clear and the rivers are quiet, where does the tyranny come from that is fiercer than a tiger!" Wang Zhenru said.

To be honest, Wang Zhenru really didn't understand that Wei Wang was born in the royal family, so he was considered intelligent.

But this mouth has also suffered a lot. How can I speak so frighteningly!

Li Tai waved his hand and said, "It is such a closed society, with the development of time, there will definitely be population problems.

The biggest possibility is that the lack of daughter-in-law is difficult, and it will breed women's business, which has become a chronic disease in Henan! "

Li Tai sighed, pressed his temple, and said, "So we must force them down the mountain!"

When Wang Zhenru heard Li Tai's words, he looked at Li Tai suspiciously.

Because Wang Zhenru knew it well, he instinctively felt that for King Wei, individuals wanted to be included in his own production system.

Don't say that you just want to stay in peace, as long as Wei Wang sees you, then Wei Wang wants to arrange a job for you, and then let you work gratefully for the rest of your life.

"It's hard!" Wang Zhenru said very seriously to Li Tai: "Those who were forced to the mountains may not want to go back to the city, but the problem is that it is really difficult for them to return to the town."

Some people aim for Rome, some live in Rome.

For these people living on the mountain, the most painful thing is that even they themselves know that if they go down the mountain, they may not be able to survive in the villages and towns.

Because even if you sell yourself as a slave in this era, not everyone accepts it.

It’s a fairy tale to get ahead after going down the mountain, to get promoted and get rich, and it’s more about working hard in other places for a few years, from nothing to being heavily in debt, and can only escape home, and finally guard a few acres of land on the hillside live.

Although the life is poor, at least there is a full stomach, and then these small villages are passed on like this, becoming more closed and ignorant.

"So, to get these people down from the mountain, we first need to build a village under the mountain!" Li Tai took a deep breath and finally made such a decision.

"Let's build a village?" Hearing Li Tai's words, Wang Zhenru couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Wang Zhenru said to Li Tai, "Wei Wang, are you serious?
You must know that it is not only the section from Luoyang to Xingyang, but also other sections.

If all villages are to be built, how many villages need to be built! ? "

"No matter how many villages need to be built, as long as the whole project can be carried out, no matter how many villages need to be built!"

Li Tai took a deep breath and said, "And I know better that everyone is watching how the road between Luoyang and Xingyang should be constructed.

In this process, not only the technology used will become the benchmark, but also the policy will become the benchmark.

Because of this, we need to build a village, a village that can accommodate these people on the mountain! "

Hearing Li Tai's insistence, Wang Zhenru shut up.

After all, Wang Zhenru knew that he was just an executor. Since Li Tai had already made a decision, it was enough to execute the decision Li Tai made.

I don't need to think too much, because from the time I knew King Wei to the present, the policies that King Wei has done are all right!

"First of all, we need to give these villages a precise positioning!" Li Tai said,

"We can't build a village and just throw people into it and don't care about anything, it will kill people!"

Wang Zhenru breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Tai's words.

In any case, although the king of Wei is very messy in many cases, every policy of the king of Wei takes the lives and even survival of the people into consideration.

It is also true that I am quite motivated to work under King Wei, because King Wei is a great king who really cares about the people.

And Li Tai didn't know what Wang Zhenru was thinking, even if he knew, he would blush.

Because it's very simple, Li Tai's position is not how these people live, but how the people in this village should work...

For Li Tai, since you were discovered by him, then don't run away, and work for me!

So Li Tai has kindness, but not much.

Li Tai said to Wang Zhenru: "These places are located in relatively good transportation hubs in various regions.

Didn't Fan Yuefeng give us the best transportation points? Most of those places are in wasteland and need to be rebuilt from scratch.

We just built some fences there to keep out the beasts, and then built some houses for the common people to live in. It shouldn't be too difficult! "

"No problem!" Wang Zhenru nodded when he heard Li Tai's words, and said, "But it's impossible to build a village and stuff people into it. How should they survive?"

"Indeed, survival is a big problem, I hope this kind of village can be built into a big village that can accommodate 5000 to [-] people!" Li Tai murmured: "If they can't even survive, then it's meaningless! "

"Not easy?" Wang Zhenru shook his head and said, "Although those places are indeed in a relatively good traffic location.

But because it is far away from the water source, or the local land is not suitable for large-scale farming, it is all wasteland.

It would be fine if we only built a small post station. If we want to build such a big village, we can't live with so many people! "

"The water source is easy to solve. Each family digs a large snow storage pool and helps them build a relatively simple filtration system.

Store the winter snow and wait for it to melt when needed, and it will become water! " Li Tai said thoughtfully,

"In addition, Fan Yuefeng can try to find out if there is groundwater. If there is groundwater, drill a well for each household. It is enough if you think about it!"

"Then the land is not suitable for farming?!" Wang Zhenru asked again after hearing Li Tai's words.

"Whether the land is suitable for cultivation can only be decided after the professionals from the agricultural college come to inspect it.

If wheat is not suitable, sorghum should be planted; if sorghum is not suitable, millet should be planted;

Even if there are none, then it is good to plant medicinal materials in a large area here.

As long as the local land can be utilized, it should not be difficult to keep the people from starving. "

After Li Tai said this, he continued:
"The problems of water source and food have been solved, and what remains is the development and positioning of the entire city.

In the beginning, this city must have worked with you professional conscripts, and every day’s labor was counted as a day’s wages, so that these local people would not starve to death, and let them survive in an unfamiliar environment.

At the same time, they passed the corvee team and helped these people living on the mountain integrate into the whole society.

At the same time, basic living facilities such as medical dormitory, agricultural society, elementary school, bathhouse, etc., can also be arranged by themselves along the way.

With the existence of these local residents, I don't need to worry. With the departure of your construction teams, the entire village will be forced to relocate, and even its own supporting facilities will have to be relocated.

It really hurts me to move! "

"Actually, the supporting facilities you mentioned, King Wei, why don't you stay in the local area? I see that occasionally people from other areas will be attracted here. I think they will become villages soon!" Wang Zhenru couldn't help but said.

"I can't afford it!" Li Tai shook his head and said,

"Many of these infrastructures are supported by full-time population, and without a sufficient population base, it is impossible to support supporting facilities.

Forget it carefully, each of these villages needs at least 4000 people to start.

In other words, when you pull people down from the mountain, it is best to make a statistics first, and don’t let the village we built be too vacant, otherwise the supporting facilities will not survive, and it will be very troublesome! "

"Wei Wang, then I'll go down and deal with this matter!" Wang Zhenru said to Li Tai with a salute.

"Bring Wei Xu!" Li Tai looked at Wang Zhenru and said, "You are a good person, and the wicked let him do it with bad people!"

"Eh..." Wang Zhenru nodded seriously when he heard Li Tai's words, "Thank you King Wei for your size!"
