When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 548 The prince’s meeting with Beibotong County (Part )
"Oh my, the prince has come from afar, but I am not welcome at all! I am not welcomed at all!"

When Xin Qu saw Zixun's motorcade arriving in Tong County, he immediately put on a warm smile and came to greet him personally at Shiliting.

As soon as we met, he was so enthusiastic, which somewhat made his depressed expression look better.

However, Zixun was not fooled by Xinqu's expression.

He jumped out of the car and took Xinqu directly to the river: "You came just in time. Tell me, what is that?"

When Xin Qu heard this, he looked over and saw that slaves were moving plants, trees and stones to build a dock across the county.

Xinqu wants to open a canal, and the canal needs to intercept a large amount of water.

At the same time, a strategic pass to defend the capital of Peking must also be built.

The parts that cannot be shaped by the natural environment can only be filled by manpower.

So Xin Qu ordered his people to dig directly through the north, east and south directions of Tong County and turn it into a lake.

At this time, Tong County's geographical location was quite advantageous.

It used to be a wetland peninsula in the south of Nishizawa. Xinqu deepened the wetland into a lake on this basis.

Next, Xinqu planned to divert all the river water between Nanyan Mountain and East Taihang into the lakes in Tongxian County.

Then the water in the lake is turned into several fish mouths, specially used for drainage and water intake.

After all, the amount of water in Peiping is limited, and many rivers in Yanshan are seasonal rivers, so most of the water is actually poured directly into Tianjin through the main trunk of the Chaobai River.

But there are still several rivers that flow into Langfang and Yongping respectively.

It can be said that once Tongxian is completed, it will be the east gate of Beiping.

As long as Tong County is not lost and relying on rivers, swamps, and lakes, the war situation in the east can still be stabilized.

Therefore, the construction of the first phase of the pier plank road has begun, but it is obvious that Zi Xun does not know why and is surprised.

"This is at the cofferdam." Xin Qu said casually.

Zixun frowned slightly. He didn't think it was a cofferdam, because the cofferdam shouldn't use so many stones, and it wasn't designed to be enclosed like this. The river water should be dredged to other places first, and then the enclosure started.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to sink earth and rocks in the swamp. If the foundation dries out one day or there is too much water, the earth-rock weir will collapse immediately.

"If you don't want to say it, I'm too lazy to ask." Zixun withdrew his gaze, then looked at the waterwheels scattered around the river and said, "I ordered people to buy these farm tools from you before, and your asking price is not low. It can’t be cheap.”

"Are we talking about business so soon?"

"No, the purpose of my coming here is to send Mo Xuwu to the Northeast. Since you have agreed, I naturally have no excuse to stay for a long time.

Besides, along the way, I also discovered clues about you.

It shouldn’t be difficult to copy new appliances. I just need samples, and then I will order nobles everywhere to learn, and then let them learn.

As for whether they use it or not, that is their business. "

Zixun said, and Xin Qu nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Xinqu could understand what Zixun meant. According to the current political system of various societies, tribes and feudal coexist.

This is a true feudal society, where rights and obligations are not equal.

Internal and external services are just tribute obligations framed by the distance and distance of blood relations and the dangers of geographical conditions.

In terms of politics, culture, and economy, each family is not a whole, and they only have a common owner in name.

Nobles have their own territory, their own castles, and can set up their own prisons. Even the king can only push people into the fire pit through shamanic sacrifices, and then burn those who don't like it to death.

Zixun can't control the rest.

Therefore, Zixun would not foolishly spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of things and then take advantage of the princes from all over the world. He will only win over those who are obedient.

Of course, as long as the princes from all over the country see something good, they will join in and get involved, either fighting, robbing, or buying. This has always been the case with the spread of technology.

"Sometimes I envy you." Zixun looked back with emotion, "Everyone in your country respects you, and they will also respect your children in the future. Your official system, title, and awards are not the same. Same."

"Far away places will also use tribute." Xinqu shook his head slightly, "For example, those tribes and clans living in the grassland, some who are friendly to us, all pay tribute."

"That's why I think you are terrible. Give you a few more years, and things will be different here." Zixun stopped talking, and then said after a moment, "I think it will be difficult for Amishang to stabilize the situation in Heluo. I want to Where do you think it’s appropriate to move the capital?”

"Ask me?" Xinqu asked doubtfully, "I don't know the situation and geography in the south. How do you choose? Shouldn't you come?"

"Hey, don't pretend in front of me." Zixun stared at Xin Qu and said, "If it were before, I would have thought you really didn't understand.

But as I walked along the river from Tianjin County to Tong County, you opened up so many towns and built so many lakes along the way. Don't tell me that you were preparing to store water for irrigation.

The area where you are located is not very short of water. There are many wetlands nearby. Are you telling me about irrigation? I'm afraid not, are you ready to imitate our merchant clan and form a sailing boat? "

Sad and silent.

Zixun squatted down and wrote on the ground: 桡桡淄水, 怡桡淄水, 怡淄淄淄。

After finishing writing, he Zixun stood up and said: "This is the specialty of some tribes of the Ying clan.

Last year, Weishanzi reported to me that Beibo had built waterways extensively, saying that the use of water conservancy could be a hundred times greater than that of the local area, which could divert floods and cultivate dry fields.

A hundred miles of business, without vertical and horizontal roads, will not have a hundred miles of feng shui.

Therefore, the cofferdams are used as dams, the enclosures are used as embankments, and the dredging and deep excavations are like the roads leading to the rivers in the late summer to facilitate boating, divide the nine states, and deploy troops in all directions.

Beibo built a river dredging industry to allow water to flow into the land, not only to prevent flood discharge, but also to make it navigable.

Therefore, he suggested that Gu go and confer a title on the Zhuo clan and send troops to garrison him.

At the same time, he built a new city in Zhuodi and was responsible for business dealings with the State of Yan. "

After hearing this, Xin Qu remained expressionless.

Zixun looked at it for a while, convinced that Xin Qu disagreed, and sighed: "Do you think that if I build the city in Zhuodi, it will not affect your development?"

"Of course." Xinqu finally nodded, "Since you know Zhuodi, you should also know how many times I have drained floods from Zhuodi over the years? After I finish building the Wuding River, if I drain floods here year after year, you will How much grain do you need to spend on Zhuodi to defend your city?
It should be noted that the terrain of Zhuozhou is low-lying, and it has been the drainage outlet of the entire East Taihang River System from the beginning. It was even the drainage outlet of a large river for a period of time.

If you choose to camp in Zhuozhou, the weather will teach you what it means to go against the will of nature without even having to take action from me. "

"But it is undeniable that Zhuodi can be used as a water conservancy and trade hub?"

"Not as good as Cangyi." Xin Qu sighed, "Tangyi (Baoding), Monyi (Renqiu), Cangyi (Cangzhou), among the three places, which one is not better than Zhuodi.

The reason why I moved Youzhou to Zhuodi is because of the influence of the big river.

You just have to manage these three cities well, and when I finish dredging the Haihe River system, I can divert the water from the river into Tianjin County.

In the future, won’t it become a canal? "

"Well, then you can give me some advice on where to build a capital." Zixun thought for a moment and said, "How about granting me the title of father?"

Xin Qu saw that this guy really wanted to get to the bottom of things, and he was tired of acting, so he could only explain: "Fengfu is located by the river, and the terrain is not enough, so it is easy to collapse due to the restlessness of the river.

Yanshi is located in the south of Dahe River. It is too close to the tribes in the west and too far away from me. You must be worried.

Others, such as Bo and Bi, are either too close to the mountain or far away from the river bank.

There are only four realms that are suitable for you. "

"Which four?"
