big dry son-in-law

Chapter 1706 Qin Xiangru teaches his grandson!
"Good boy, you've already smoked!" Qin Xiangru looked at Tianxin with a smile. Seeing him sitting there in a daze, he couldn't help but said, "What, you don't know me anymore?"

Tianxin reacted and was overjoyed. She rushed over and hugged Qin Xiangru, "Master, why are you here!

This is too sudden! "

He hasn't seen any of his family members since he left Beijing, and now he suddenly sees Azu, the one who loves him the most, thousands of miles away in the west. How could he not be happy?
At this time, Qin Xiuying also came over, and Tianxin put Qin Xiangru down and said, "Auntie, you are here too, oh, and Mr. Gao is here too!"

Qin Xiuying said: "Your father talks about you eight hundred times a day. All day long he talks about how my eldest grandson is trying to live up to his ambition. He will get in trouble with anyone who doesn't let him come!"

Gao Shilian also smiled and said: "The Great Emperor, the Emperor saw that you managed the central city in an orderly manner, and he praised you all the way!"

Tian Xin was a little embarrassed to be told, "It's a small fight, it's all the strategy of me and my father, otherwise, in this desolate place in the west, trying to build a big city with dozens of people living in it is simply a fantasy!" "

There is a city wall here, but the city wall is not used to resist foreign enemies, but to resist wind and sand.

"Why, I've come all the way here, and you just plan to talk to me about business all the time?" Qin Xiangru said.

"Oh, Master, you haven't eaten yet, come home with me, Xun'er and Yuanjun must have cooked something delicious." Tianxin took Qin Xiangru's hand, "I'll tell you another piece of good news, Yuanjun is here, You are going to be a grandpa again!"

"Good thing!" Qin Xiangru smiled so hard that the creases on his face gathered together. He was already old, and no matter how good the news was, it was not as good as this.

What he hopes now is for his family to be full of descendants, and for his lineage to flourish.

Fortunately, the children of the Qin family are all quite up to date. Tianxin, Brother Feng, Huo Lin'er, and Niu Duzi are all fathers.

In the future, he might not even be able to call the children below by their names.

When he thought of hundreds of children kneeling in front of him to wish him New Year's greetings in the future, Old Qin was filled with joy.

But I just don't know if he can live that long.

The group of people followed Tianxin to the courtyard in the city. Although the courtyard was large, it was very ordinary, no different from an ordinary residential building.

The courtyard is surrounded by officials, and the music is particularly simple. Tianxin's style has always been simple.

Seeing this scene, Qin Xiangru kept nodding.

Qin Xiuying was a little worried. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Qin Ge digging sand in the yard, like a child in the countryside. It made her feel terrible.

Upon learning that Qin Xiangru was coming, Tang Xun'er and the pregnant Yuan Jun also hurriedly put down what they were doing and came out to salute.

"Okay, you two, don't be so distant. We are all one family." Qin Xiangru waved his hand. He was always kind to the younger members of the family. Plus, it was good for these two girls to follow Tianxin here to suffer.

Qin Xiuying held the child in her arms and then pulled the two girls in. Qin Xiangru was drinking tea in the yard with Tianxin and Gao Shilian.

After a conversation, Qin Xiangru said: "Do you regret coming here?"

"I don't regret it." Tianxin said firmly: "If you don't come here, you will never know the problems in the central part. If you don't develop this area, then this area will become a no man's land.

If I develop this place better, it will be more convenient for people to take over and manage it later.Perhaps after several generations of management, the desert will turn into an oasis, and with the resources here, it will definitely become a livable place. "

"You are ambitious, and your father and I have not wasted our efforts." Qin Xiangru said: "Although other places are prosperous, they are just the icing on the cake. As long as we follow the footsteps of the imperial court, we will definitely become more and more prosperous.

However, the west side can only rely on gold prospectors and developers. The number of people is always small, and the extraction of resources will extremely pollute the land.

Don't be afraid of failure. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. As long as it is for the court and the people, even if you are wrong, it is still worth trying! "

Qin Xiangru was very aware of the problems in the west. There were many deserts here, and it was not easy to develop them.

Those who built the Central City used 20 slaves and 3 people died of exhaustion before the Central City was built.

But no one knows how long this oasis can last. Looking at the entire west, Midtown is like a little green in the yellow sand. No one knows that this green will be swallowed up.

And now, what he sees in Midtown is better than he imagined. After these years of development and afforestation, the oasis has spread outward for more than a mile, surrounding Midtown. Although some saplings are still very small, over time, here If there were Baili Woods, who would dare to say that Zhongcheng was not good?

"But there are also problems here. If we rely on a small lake here, the water is not enough. There is a big river a hundred miles away. Unless the water from the big river is diverted, too much water will be used for afforestation." Qin Xiangru said: " So if you have the courage, open a river channel. With the river channel, it will save a lot of trouble to plant forests along this river channel!"

Digging rivers to divert water?
It’s not like Tianxin hasn’t thought about this, “Sir, that river is about 150 miles away from here. At least 10 people will be mobilized. The construction period is the fastest, which will take three years and cost tens of millions of taels.

It’s hard to support Midtown’s taxes. "

"How long will it take you to afforestation?" Qin Xiangru shook his head, "Have you never thought about connecting the cities around Zhongcheng and working together?"

As he spoke, he dipped his fingers in tea and sketched out a simple map, "To open up the north and south, you can't just rely on a central city. It also requires the efforts of the court.

Therefore, simply diverting water from a river is not enough.

Therefore, it must be transparent from north to south and run through the west. Although this project is large, it can benefit the west to the greatest extent.

There is living water, which means that people can live here.

Purifying the river water, delivering clean water to the people in the city, and then planting forests is much more convenient than using brute force.

And once the court determines this strategy, you will have more power at your disposal.

The most important thing is that one day you will leave the west and go to govern in a better place.

If you leave, what will happen to your next one?

Will he still plant trees as tirelessly as you?
Will the rules you have set now change?
Therefore, you have to use your identity to promote this matter. "

Tianxin was stunned, but he knew clearly that Azu was teaching him how to do things. He stood up in a hurry and said, "Thank you for your advice!"

Qin Xiangru stroked his beard and said, "To tell you the truth, your father planned to build a north-south Grand Canal. However, because it required too much manpower and there were few cities in the Ming Dynasty at that time, the plan was abandoned. Stranded.”
