Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 539 Implementation of Canal Planning

After Gao Yanshou became Andong School Wei'an of Andong Protectorate, the entire Tang Dynasty's crusade against Goguryeo gradually came to an end.

First of all, Goguryeo's resistance to Datang has become much weaker.

Especially when the Tang Dynasty began to release, most of the Goguryeo nobles would be sent to Chang'an, and only a small number of Goguryeo nobles would stay. Wish I could stay too.

Of course, people like Gao Yanshou are full of envy and hatred.

After all, everyone knows that Gao Yanshou must have successfully landed, and he is a part of staying in Goguryeo.

This shows that Datang did not want to get all the Goguryeo people to Chang'an. To a certain extent, Gao Yanshou is the benchmark of Datang, and it is the sincerity shown by Datang.

But now he has become the envy of Goguryeo, and in the future he will become the object of hatred for those who leave.

For many Goguryeo soldiers, they also wanted to stay in Goguryeo, and they didn't want to go to Chang'an.

After all, the people of Goguryeo understood the fact that people left their hometowns and were cheap. They knew very well that if they continued to stay in Goguryeo, they would be the local emperor of Goguryeo.

Now being Datang's dog, he will be even more powerful.

What they wanted was to find a way to stay, except for Li Shimin who couldn't be found, Du Ruhui, Li Shiji, Li Daozong... even Li Tai was found.

However, before they found Li Tai, Li Tai left Pyongyang with his cronies first to inspect the environment.

"Wei Wang, although the snow has stopped, there is no need to go here personally!"

Fan Yuefeng couldn't help tightening the scarf, and said calmly, "Isn't it just to continue to arrange the location of the village and the village, just leave it to the minister!"

"Chuqing after the snow, just come out and take a look!" Li Tai calmly waved his hand and said,

"Next, you need to find the dragon's acupuncture points to arrange the places where these villages and villages are assembled.

There must be a certain distance between these locations, but at the same time not too far away. A certain amount of arable land is required, but it is not enough to meet the food needs of 5000 people.

And if possible, it is best to find a suitable port for the camp, so that they can build a dock in the future. "

"King Wei, since the arable land where we live is not enough for 5000 people's food needs, why do we need to build a 5000-person camp to let the people survive? Wouldn't it be better to have fewer people?!" Fan Yuefeng couldn't help but sigh.

"Keyi, you don't understand!" Wang Zhenru said with emotion, "People can't eat too much, if they are too full, they won't be interested in working.

The king of Wei set up this amount of farmland so that the people would not starve to death, but if they want to live well, they must either engage in fishing, or go to the seaside to dry salt, or do corvée for me.

In short, simply farming is useless. "

"Not bad, you know how to answer quickly!" Li Tai couldn't help but praised Wang Zhenru's words.

"However, I have been with you for a long time, King Wei, so I just have some experience on what to do!" Wang Zhenru smiled calmly, with a little emotion on his face,

"And when Keyi finishes surveying this place, I'm afraid it will be me again!"

"Actually, it's not impossible to let Chunfeng do it!" Li Tai said, looking at Li Chunfeng involuntarily.

"Wei Wang, I have been in Youzhou for more than ten years, and now I finally have the opportunity to be transferred back to Chang'an, please let me go!"

Li Chunfeng looked at Li Tai and quickly waved his hands, saying that he didn't want to eat this cake!
Seeing Li Chunfeng's appearance, Li Tai sighed helplessly, "Okay, okay! Only the true Confucian can stay!"

"It doesn't matter if I stay. After all, I'm either building roads here or going back to build the Silk Road." Wang Zhenru turned to Li Tai and said, "But I don't know what your purpose is, King Wei. Bad."

"To put it simply, it is a hundred-year plan. You have to spend several years here, and you should be able to complete the first step!" Li Tai said to Wang Zhenru with a bit of sigh.

"..." Wang Zhenru looked at the whiteness around him, and said calmly, "Please speak up, King Wei."

"The first step is to build a coastal road around the entire Bohai Sea from Tianjin to Dahang City, which is enough for at least eight carriages to travel side by side.

This does not need to be a galloping road. The only requirement for this road is durability and stability. How long will it take? "

Li Tai looked at Wang Zhenru and couldn't help asking.

"If it's just the construction of the main road, it's relatively simple. In addition, you, King Wei, gathered the villages and villages, and let these Goguryeo people be trained as corvees. I think this road should be able to be built in a year or two. .”

Wang Zhenru opened up his spiritual talent, and soon came to a simple conclusion.

"A year or two? It's faster than expected!" Li Tai was a little surprised when he heard the answer.

And Wang Zhenru explained, "With the experience of building plank roads this year, the people in Jicun Bingzhai have basically become familiar with it.

In addition, although this year's plank road will be eliminated after use this year, it is no problem to repair it and use it next year.

With this road, whether it is the transportation of personnel or the turnover of materials, it will be much more convenient.

And more importantly, the people's food is still supplied by the savings in Youzhou.

They don't have much savings in their hands, and if they miss a day of work, they will be hungry for a day, so they still know how to work! "

After doing so much work with corvee, Wang Zhenru has gradually understood that the kind of migrant workers with land and land are sometimes not as easy to use as ordinary corvee with almost no money and no property.

Because those migrant workers feel that it is not worthwhile, they will take the initiative to make trouble, shouting that they might as well go back to farm.

But these ordinary corvee workers who have neither property nor employment are different. Although the government will provide them with food, accommodation, and even uniform clothing, many of them go directly to the local area for consumption after receiving the money.

For example, visiting brothels, listening to opera, or gambling, especially after finding a good match, spending money is really like running water, and you can't save money at all.

As for what to do when the money is spent, then continue to return to the camp to stay.

After all, as long as you continue to work, the government will give you food, and around the middle of next month, you will almost get paid.

And after such a climate, to be honest, there are really not many corvees who can really save money.

These people who can save money in such a climate will let Wang Zhenru take a closer look, remember these people, and after three or four years of hard work, these people will be promoted one after another.

Because these people have a strong will and have their own principles, instead of following the trend. In other words, these people have perseverance.

Wang Zhenru likes these persevering people very much, and the wealth in their hands has been accumulated for three or four years, which is basically a considerable savings. Relatively speaking, he can feel more at ease when promoting them to important management positions.

In contrast, people like those who are basically moonlight or even Zhou Guang, although they seem to spend money generously, they can't keep money in their hands.

And as long as they are promoted to important positions, if the money is left in their hands, they are more likely to do something with the money than other people who have wealth in their hands. After all, their will is easier to shake .

The two most painful things in the world are saving money and losing weight. Saving money requires resisting temptation, while losing weight requires overcoming pain.

In this world, being able to do a little bit is at least one in a hundred. If you can do it, you must be a dragon and a phoenix among people.

Because these two things are so contrary to human nature, it makes everyone who tries it feel desperate.

"This passage along the Bohai Sea is very important. If possible, I even want to build a wide road in the entire Bohai Bay, but let's put it aside for now, and wait until you finish the next step!" Li Tai said.

"I also ask the king of Wei to order!" Wang Zhenru respectfully replied to Li Tai when he heard Li Tai's words.

And Li Tai's eyes fell on Fan Yuefeng and said, "Next, we need to trim a canal connecting Liaoshui and Nanshui to prepare for the development of a deeper area in the Northeast."

"Is there gold in it? It's worth digging a canal?!" Fan Yuefeng asked curiously.

"It's a special land that can grow five stones of grain." Li Tai sighed.

"Five stones?!" Fan Yuefeng couldn't help taking a deep breath when he heard this sentence, he couldn't believe it.

On the other hand, Li Tai looked at Wang Zhenru and said, "But the land is too far north, and you have seen the land on the northeast side. It's not a swamp, it's a swamp, and it will turn into all kinds of thick land in winter. permafrost.

It is unrealistic to build roads here, let's find a way to dig canals! "

"I understand!" Wang Zhenru nodded solemnly when he heard Li Tai's words. He already understood the meaning of his actions.

In other words, his first project was just to pave the way for the entire canal.

If the entire Bohai Sea coast can't be a little more prosperous, then go directly to dig this canal by yourself, and the materials consumed along the way may be able to dig such a canal again.

And no matter how strong Li Tai's ability to dispatch supplies was, it was impossible for him to waste supplies like this.

Therefore, when Datang regained the land of Liao, Li Tai was planning to use Goguryeo people to build this canal.

And the people of Goguryeo tried to migrate to the front line of the Bohai Sea in order to pave the way for the construction of the canal.

With the defeat of Goguryeo by the Tang Dynasty, not only was the biggest obstacle to building the canal gone, but more importantly, the people of Goguryeo could fill in this project, instead of having to find a way to dispatch people from the Central Plains.

If the people are dispatched from the Central Plains, don't mention the turmoil caused by the Central Plains. The most important thing is that any migration of the people can easily cause population loss.

In modern times, the word acclimatization is just taking medicine and lying in a hotel for a few days, but in ancient times, it was not lying on the bed, but directly lying on the corpse.

Now because of the war, Datang, as the victorious country, ruthlessly plundered Goguryeo, which can completely drive the people of Goguryeo to live in Bohai Bay, and at the same time provide enough basic population for the construction of the canal in the future.

Everything needs to consider the cost, even if Datang knows that as long as this piece of land is developed, it may become the foundation of Datang, not to mention eternal, but it is absolutely no problem to make Datang stable for a hundred years.

But even if you know the value of the black land, if the distance is too far, you can only give up.

Like now, even if Li Tai told those aristocratic families the news, not many would be willing to take the initiative to join in the construction of this canal.

Because the reason is very simple, it is not a family that can make a profit by repairing the canal, and even pay for it to maintain the canal.

After all, the population of the Northeast is too small. If it wants to develop, it may take at least five to ten years even if the canal is opened.

Therefore, for the aristocratic family, it would be too late for them to invest in the land in the northeast of Youzhou after the canal was opened.

Unlike in the hinterland of the Central Plains, when Li Tai said that he was building Chidao, the aristocratic families actively participated.

Because as long as the roads are built here, it will definitely make money, and every road is a money printing machine, so the aristocratic family is very enthusiastic.

To be honest, this kind of thing is the same for Austrian Modern. Many infrastructures require government investment to achieve zero-to-one technological breakthroughs.

Because this step seems simple, but no one knows how much money and resources are needed, as well as subsequent maintenance.

But the next one to one hundred will be handed over to private enterprises to solve.

Because for the government, they made this thing just so that they would not be stuck by others when they needed it.

But it is different for private enterprises. If they want to survive, they need to find the commercialization of this technology. What they need is to make money and make the technology have commercial value.

In addition, the question of the value of technicians is derived from this. It is the private enterprises that can really pay high salaries for technicians, not the state.

The country can provide all-round guarantees for technicians, and the dispatching resources are so abundant that private enterprise technician projects can even be customized wives for some top technicians, but if you want to give all technicians a high salary, Basically unrealistic.

Because for the country, he is the same as other public officials, there is no distinction between high and low, and the state can provide all guarantees, but the state will not let you work here for the sake of making money.

Only enterprises can really increase the salaries of scientific and technological personnel, because enterprises are profit-oriented organizations, and technological advantages can allow them to maintain market advantages and even monopoly positions, so they are willing to pay engineers high wages to maintain their market position.

Li Tai turned his head to look at Fan Yuefeng and said, "The terrain of this canal is for you to survey!"

"Please rest assured, King Wei!" Fan Yuefeng asked Li Tai again, "Do you have any detailed requirements?"
