Ji Tang

Chapter 583 Water Journey and Danyang
The Han River, also known as the Han River, is a tributary of the Yangtze River. It has three sources: the Yangshui River in the middle, the Jushui River in the north, and the Yudai River in the south. They are all in Hanzhong at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. They flow through Mian County and are called Mianshui. When it reaches Hanzhong, it is called Han River.

The section from Ankang to Danjiangkou was called Canglangshui in ancient times. It is also known as Xiangjiang River and Xiangshui below Xiangyang.It flows into the Yangtze River from Jiangzhou.

Ji Song took this road, passing through Xiangyang, and then headed east from Xiangjiang River.

Apart from the fresh energy at the beginning, no one was interested in enjoying the scenery along the way.

Many people in the Ji family are familiar with the nature of water, and You Ning grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, so he will not be acclimated to it.

But the new slave who joined the team was in trouble. He was fine when he first got on the boat, but within a day he was afraid of the water like a tiger and vomited. Even though he had adapted a lot at this time, he did not dare to look at the mighty river. .

She has lived in the mountains since she was a child and has never seen a larger river. Where has she ever seen such a mighty river?
Ji Song gave her several special pills and left her alone.

I don’t know if this child has a clueless brain or if he is innocent and looks familiar. Even Ji Song has a headache!
It's fine now, my ears are finally clear.

Now he finally knew why You Ning agreed to Liu's request so readily.

It turned out that Ms. Liu told You Ning that she hoped she could find a good in-law for her silly daughter and did not want her to stay in the mountains like this.

This aroused You Ning's interest in helping others, and he agreed without thinking, promising to find a good home for his slave.

Ji Song held his forehead and smiled bitterly. This silly woman was tricked and counted money for others. She was like no one else.

But he really couldn't talk about it. He hesitated several times, but in the end he had no choice but to let them go.

Anyway, I don't have that thought, I just want to find a good family to marry when the time comes.

To be honest, he still likes the little girl, but it has nothing to do with anything else, it's just a simple liking.Because she always brings joy to people, she has become the pistachio in the team, and no one dislikes her.

"Where are you now?"

Looking at the towering mountains on both sides of the bank, Ji Song looked at the increasingly wider water surface.

"We should be arriving in Jiangcheng soon." Daniel said uncertainly.

Ji Song's face darkened. Why should he come to Jiangcheng?

"If you don't know, just ask. If you don't know anything about this, what's the use of you?"

When Daniel heard this, he didn't dare to stay any longer. When Master Hou got angry, he would definitely not get any good results, so it was better to leave first.

These old people have figured out the temperament of their own prince. Once the prince is really angry, they will run as far as they can. If they are beaten, they will run away quickly.

The Marquis never strikes lightly or harshly, whether it is himself or Xue Li, who has not been beaten by the Marquis?Didn’t it take a long time to raise that one?
Ji Song's face turned darker when he saw Daniel driving the boat to the shore. Is he so scary?

After a while, Daniel came back.

"Master Marquis, we are indeed approaching the boundary of Jiangzhou. It is estimated that we will enter the Yangtze River in less than a day."

Ji Song nodded when he heard this, thought for a moment and said: "After arriving in Jiangzhou, send people ashore to purchase supplies, and then set off directly. After arriving in Danyang, we will dock, and we will disembark there."

Daniel was stunned and hesitated: "Master Hou, why don't we enter the tributaries of the Yangtze River? Wouldn't that be faster?"

"Danyang has many strong soldiers since ancient times, and its geographical environment is second to none in the south of the Yangtze River. Wherever there is what I need, the next plan is inseparable from Danyang."

Of course Ji Song will disembark in Danyang, Ma'anshan. If the iron ore resources here are developed, it is not much, just one percent, and Datang can take off completely.

As for the little Xuanzhou, taking off is just a matter of course!Ma'anshan should now be located in Danyang, Dangtu, and Luzhou.

The mining area is located in the Ningwu-Luohe metallogenic belt in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. There are 31 iron ore origins and 10 associated mineral origins that have been proven in later generations. The total iron ore reserves are 16.35 billion tons, accounting for 57.32% of the total iron ore reserves in Anhui Province. %, of which more than 10 billion tons can satisfy industrial mining.

The size of the ore deposits is mainly large and medium-sized, with large ore bodies. There are 5 deposits with reserves of more than 36.55 million tons. The average ore grade is 53%. Most of them are magnet ores that are easy to select. After the separation process, the concentrate grade can be obtained at 64%~[-]%. .

Pyrite ore is concentrated in the Xiangshan and Mashan areas on the outskirts of Ma'anshan, with total reserves of approximately 2.62 million tons.

The associated phosphorus resources have large reserves and high grade. Calculated only based on the phosphorus contained in the stopes and tailings dams of Nanshan Iron Mine, the reserves amount to 1427 million tons.

Although the quality of the minerals is average, they cannot support the large quantities.

Located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, it will be a great convenience for both transportation and commercial purposes.

Along the Yangtze River and across Xiangshui River, you can reach Hanzhong.

Yangzhou, the starting point of the Grand Canal, is right next to Xuanzhou, so you can quickly and easily go north to Zhuozhou, Hebei.Along the way it passes Henan Road, Shandong Road, and the Yellow River.

It can also enter the hinterland of the Central Plains. In such a ground environment, Xuanzhou cannot even think about taking off.

This is also the reason why Xuanzhou rose rapidly after the mid-Tang Dynasty and even became one of the three most prosperous cities in Jiangnan.

The key is that the location is great. The current Xuanzhou is not the Xuanzhou that was divided in later generations. It not only has a large area, but also has a large population, a large area of ​​cultivated land, and most of it has rivers passing through it.

As long as water conservancy is built and three-season rice is introduced, Ji Song will still worry that this place will not develop?

What a joke, as long as the initial investment and infrastructure are done well, it is only a matter of time before this place becomes the center of Jiangnan.

This is Ji Song. If it were anyone else, Li Shimin would never let Xuanzhou develop so easily.

The idea of ​​Guanzhong as the standard has been deeply rooted since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches is the truth pursued by the current dynasty. If Ji Song hadn't lured him with huge profits, it would be strange that the emperor would agree!
Because once this place develops, it will definitely become an important strategic location for the Tang Dynasty, not to mention garrisoning troops.

He believed that Li Shimin had already begun to consider garrisoning the army at this time.

As long as there is development here in Ji Song, heavy troops will be quickly stationed to protect it.

This is further control of Jiangnan.

Of course, these are a bit far away now. In his opinion, it would take at least three years to reach that point.

When everything is on track, that's when Ji Song will leave office.

This is not because the emperor is worried about Ji Song, but because Ji Song asked for it.

His purpose was not to control Xuanzhou, but to explore a way to enrich the people and strengthen the country.

There are people, resources and convenient transportation here.It is not difficult to develop, but how to start is difficult. Without a mature template, no one dares to start.

Because no one knows the consequences of doing so, they would rather keep the territory unchanged than try it easily.

But as long as Ji Song succeeds, there will be a template and everyone will be familiar with the process.He also knows what difficulties he will encounter. When the time comes, there will be no need to urge others to follow suit.

How could the literati of the Tang Dynasty miss the opportunity to leave their mark in history by serving in government and benefiting all people?
