Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 214 Who Will Build the Canal?

On a small soil slope in Jiujiang County, Fusu no longer looks like he was in Jiujiang County, looking into the distance with a dusty face.

"map."

When Mi Xi heard this, she immediately opened the lid of a bamboo tube she was carrying, and took out the map.

Mi Xi is the grandson of Mi Lao Zhang, who is already twenty years old, and he is quite familiar with the terrain of Jiujiang County. In the past ten days, under the guidance of Mi Xi, Fusu has quickly figured out the terrain of Jiujiang County.

And the fallacy in the map of Jiujiang County has also been corrected.

Spreading out the map in his hand, comparing the mountains and rivers he saw, Fusu said: "The water flows down here, and the farmland goes up. How do you guys think this water can be brought into the farmland?"

When everyone heard this, it was obvious that they had never thought about Fusu's question, nor did they dare to think about it.

Ying Bu stood aside, scratched his head and said, "Young master, since ancient times, people go to high places, water flows to low places, this water flows down, and the farmland goes up, how can water be drawn into the farmland?"

Everyone echoed, but Fusu fell into deep thought.

It is a simple truth that water flows to low places.But Fusu was still a little bit unwilling to give up.

If water can be introduced into the farmland, tens of thousands of acres of fields can be irrigated.Those fields in the mountains can be turned into high-quality fields with an yield of five or even six shi per mu in an instant.

"Plumbing order, what do you think?" Fusu looked at a gray-haired old man next to him. He was the plumbing order that Fusu specially found this time.

Fusu knew that building a canal was not something that everyone could do, and the canal was not something that could be dug casually.

Digging channels, not to mention time-consuming and laborious, is more likely to do bad things with good intentions, and it is very likely to drown yourself.

"The fields are high and the water is low. It is not impossible to divert water to irrigate the fields. In this mountainous area, the eyes are the most deceiving."

Shui Gongling repeatedly looked at the map and the mountain in front of him, cupped his hands and said: "Young master, don't worry, please give me some time to find out the mountain, and then make a decision."

"Okay, then there will be a labor order." Fusu bowed his hands.

Over the past few days, under the suggestion of the water engineering order, Fusu has planned more than ten water canals in Jiujiang County. If these water conservancy projects can be completed in the end, then there will be a lot of food here and here.

The so-called spring drought, along with the completion of these water conservancy projects, will no longer occur.

Going down the mountain road, Fusu suddenly saw an official surrounded by a group of villagers, he was suspicious, and led them over.

"Mixi, go and ask what's going on?" After ordering, Fusu sat down anywhere.

After a while, Mi Xi came back and said, "My lord, that official is in charge of dividing the land."

"According to the little official, the county has confiscated the properties of many aristocratic families this time, and in Jiujiang County, there are still many people who are landless people, and some servants of aristocratic families have also been released. Therefore, the prefect ordered that these people be given fields to cultivate."

"Hmm!" Fusu nodded, obviously Wu Rui's way of handling it was quite to his liking.

Right now, there are not many days of spring plowing, and it is a day if you can seize it. Although the rain has saved many seedlings, in the end, the damage caused is still not small.

After thinking for a while, Fusu suddenly thought of a question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time. He had planned more than a dozen canals, who would build them?

The original plan, Fusu's plan was to borrow the landless people of Jiujiang County and recruit civilian husbands to build it, but now, Fusu abandoned this idea.

Because, in Fusu's mind, a bolder idea sprouted.

Fusu wanted to use Jiujiang County to build a canal to forge a new army for Daqin.

Daqin should also have its own engineers, an elite team that can open roads for Daqin's tiger and wolf divisions at any time, and build bridges when encountering water.

When this idea was born in Fusu's mind, it could never be eliminated.

Building water conservancy for the people in peacetime, but in wartime, it can be used as a pioneer to open the way.With this in mind, Fusu knew that the establishment of this army was imperative.

Shouchun City Governor's Mansion.

Fusu looked at Wu Rui who was busy in front of him, with a smile on his face.If he hadn't planned to set up this army, Fu Su really felt that Wu Rui had done a good job.

By distributing the land to the common people, the common people can plant the land and harvest food with peace of mind. At the same time, the tax of a county can also be increased.

"Wu Rui." With a sound of Fusu, Wu Rui's gaze was immediately attracted.

Wu Rui immediately stood up and said, "I don't know that the young master is here, but Wu Rui is far away to welcome you."

Wu Rui also knew that Fusu had gone to various places in Jiujiang County to survey the terrain these days, and before leaving, everything was properly divided.

Sima Xin was in charge of handing over the agricultural tools brought in from Shu County, while Wu Rui was fully responsible for the spring plowing and replanting of Jiujiang County and the distribution of Quyuanli because he was the sheriff of Jiujiang County.

Fusu, on the other hand, went out to survey the terrain, intending to build water conservancy.

"How is the spring plowing work going?" Fusu asked straightforwardly.

Wu Rui immediately cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the spring plowing has come to an end, and most of the land in the county has been replanted."

"Oh, I remember that the number of Quyuanli transported here should not be enough for every family. How could it be so fast?" Apparently, Fusu didn't believe Wu Rui's answer.

Wu Rui replied: "Young Master is right. The Quyuanli brought from Shu County is indeed not enough for one household. According to my calculation, it should be about five households. Therefore, I stipulate that every five households are a team and share one set." Qu Yuanli."

"And the five households have a clear division of labor. Young and strong laborers plow the land, and women, old and weak, are responsible for planting and covering the soil. In this way, the speed will be greatly improved."

Hearing what Wu Rui said, Fu Su was stunned, no wonder it was so fast, it made the best use of manpower.

Sighing inwardly that Wu Rui is a talent, Fu Su said with a smile: "I will write a briefing for the county guard later, and ask for credit for you in front of the emperor."

"I just think that the county guard's method can't help but be implemented in Jiujiang County. There are still many places in the world that can use the county guard's method. Please trouble the county guard to write a memorial and submit it back to Xianyang."

"The minister takes orders."

Fusu did not forget the business, and said: "On the way back to Shouchun, I saw an official presiding over the division of land. Is it the county guard?"

Wu Rui looked at Fusu suspiciously, and said, "My lord, is there anything wrong with this minister?"

"No." Fusu waved his hand immediately and said, "It's just that the county guard should stop this matter immediately. If you want to build an army, you need some soldiers. Right now, there are many young and strong people who have no land and are lonely. It means not to distribute fields to them, but to let them work in the army."
