The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 282: Being a little warlord quietly is obviously sorry for his status as a time traveler!
Wazhou, Wuying, and Taoyang are three serious industrial and commercial towns that currently exist or are planned in the Yungu system.

Wuying is limited by its geographical location. The limit of development is to be a distinctive industrial and commercial town with limited development space. In the future, Song Yingkui's idea is to transform into precision manufacturing and become small and excellent. Otherwise, it will be difficult to move forward. develop.

The space of Taoyang City is quite large. Geographically, it is the core of the Dalintao (Dahe Prefecture) region and is the best choice for the regional center.However, its radiation ability is blocked by the mountains around the north, making it difficult to radiate and drive areas other than the Lintao area.

In comparison, Wazhou has the most advantageous geographical conditions. It sits on the Yellow River. In addition to radiating the entire Xisu abandoned land, it can also connect Hehuang and Hexi.The most important thing is that Yinzhou, the central capital of Beixiang, can be reached through the Yellow River water transport. When Yungu and Beixiang engage in an all-out war, it will play a vital role.

Because of this, Wazhou has become one of the Yungu military government and central cities, which has important strategic value.Only with the dual-core drive of Taoyang and Wazhou can Yungu truly take off.

However, the problem with Wazhou is that the core hinterland of Wazhouchuan is too small to support a large city!Except for the Yuhara River, there is no area suitable for large-scale population settlement in the surrounding area.Before the feudal dynasty, the Yuhara River was relatively prosperous due to the natural reproduction of the population.

Nowadays, the Yuhara River is deserted. As a dry river, large-scale immigration in a short period of time is too risky and is not a suitable option.Even if the military government is determined, the refugees are not willing.

Everyone fled to Yungu to live a better life. You sent them to dry rivers with no water to make them self-reliant. Can the refugees stay there?
The refugees are not part of Yungu's own population. They have just arrived in a new place and have a weak sense of belonging. People rely on the sky for food. They might as well go back to their hometown. If they simply rely on the sky for food, Qinzhou, Guanzhong, and Yungu are better. many.

In recent years, there has been a steady stream of refugees coming to Yungu. On the one hand, it is because of the good policies and industrial and commercial environment. But the most important thing is that even if it is not possible to come here, you can still get a few acres of irrigated land, which can be seen by people. Guarantee of harvest.If they are forcibly assigned to areas without water, Yungu's good reputation in the hearts of the refugees will be ruined, and it will be very difficult to absorb the refugees in the future.

There is no water in such a large river, which makes people very nervous!No, it’s not that there’s no water in the Yuhara River, it’s just that it’s not used.

The Yellow River passes through the northwest corner of Yuyuanchuan, and then turns around to the north. To be precise, Yuyuanchuan and the Yellow River are not separated by mountains. There is a connection between the two.It's just that the terrain of the Yuyuan River is much higher than the water level of the Yellow River, so it's impossible to introduce the water from the Yellow River into the Yuyuan River.If the Yellow River water can be introduced into the Yuyuan River, there will be another 30 million acres of water-irrigated farmland.

It's just that the height difference is too large. With existing technical means, it is difficult to carry out large-scale water diversion for irrigation. This idea is very unrealistic.

"The Executive Office organized professionals to conduct a detailed survey of the geographical advantages of Yuyuan Sichuan, and draw a map of the height difference between Yuyuan Sichuan and the Yellow River within the territory this year. Based on this map, demonstrate and plan the plan to divert the Yellow River into Sichuan to develop paddy fields. ." Since we are close to the Yellow River, we will find a way to see if the water from the Yellow River can be used.Let the administrative department organize personnel to find out first. It is unrealistic to create 30 million acres of paddy fields. There is always the possibility of creating [-] to [-] acres of paddy fields, right?
According to Song Yingkui's simple estimate, the height difference between the Yuyuan main river area and the Yellow River channel should be about 500 meters. It is definitely impossible to lift water to such a height with existing technology. Water trucks driven by flowing water are not equipped to carry out step-by-step irrigation. .However, we still have the ability to lift water by 20 to [-] meters. At the high point where the Yellow River enters the Sichuan, a cluster water tanker lifting and irrigation point will be built to collect the water brought up by the cluster water tanker into a main canal. The main irrigation canal If the location design is reasonable, it should be feasible to cover tens of thousands of acres of low-lying river land.

"It is not feasible to lead the Yellow River into the Yuyuan River, right? There is a gap of more than ten feet between the main river and the Yellow River waterway. At most, it will only create [-] to [-] acres of farmland near Zijinbao. There is no need to waste manpower. Conduct an inspection of the entire Sichuan." When the second uncle saw Song Yingkui's whimsical plan to divert the Yellow River water into the Yuyuan River, he hurriedly came to give advice.Don't make the scale too large. This area can only develop tens of thousands of acres of farmland at most, and wasting manpower is not necessary for the entire Sichuan survey.

"Let's conduct a survey of the whole Sichuan! Just because we don't have the ability to lift water to a higher level now, doesn't mean we won't have the ability in the future. Once we understand the specific conditions of the entire Sichuan, we can design irrigation canals more rationally so that we don't have to lift the water higher in the future. , when new canals need to be built, the old canals become obstacles." Water trucks cannot lift irrigation step by step. If a steam engine is successfully developed, but if it has this capability, high-speed centrifugal pumps cannot be built, and reciprocating piston vacuum water pumps are not difficult. Bar?Therefore, when designing lifting and irrigation channels, one still has to have a certain degree of foresight.

Song Yingkui optimistically estimated that within ten years, a steam engine that could drive a reciprocating vacuum pump would be available.It is necessary to preset its application scenarios in advance.

This doll, if you think about it, it will come out. How can there be any way in this world to lift water more than ten feet?You can't rely on manpower or stored energy, right?Fortunately, a comprehensive survey of the Yuyuan River will also help to grasp the specific data of this area, which can be used when planning roads and regulating farmland in the future. It is not a pure waste of manpower, and the second uncle can't stop it. , then he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to admonish and let Song Yingkui do whatever he wanted!

I hope the Machinery Research and Development Institute can give me some help!It will take a few years to build a steam engine that is initially practical. Once the Yuyuan River can create more than 30 acres of irrigated land, then Pingchuan Prefecture in the north will be taken over and another 50 million acres of paddy fields will be filled. .Wazhou will now have an economic development hinterland that can stably support more than [-] people. By then, it will not be a problem to support a city of about [-] people mainly focused on industry and commerce.

The population is recovering, science and technology are advancing, the direction of future key development and construction in the region is clear, and the purpose of military construction is also determined. In the next few years, Yungu will enter a period of rapid development, and its strength will be qualitatively improved.

After this period of time has passed, it will be time to seriously set his sights on the world. Being a quiet little warlord is obviously sorry for his status as a time traveler.In the first ten years of time travel, we have embarrassed the travelers, but we can no longer be so cautious about future development.

In a few years, at least forces like Beixiang and Xifan will no longer be able to defeat such behemoths. We must seek to surpass them!
