Adou who can afford it

It's a pity that Liu Chan didn't finish reading Mao Xuan, otherwise he would have to set off a different revolution in this era.

I learned the fur, but this did not affect Liu Chan's attitude towards the family.

Liu Chan's goal has never been in Yizhou, a corner of peace, but the whole world, since his eyes are on the whole world, Liu Chan doesn't want the dynasty he worked hard to become a dynasty like the Jin Dynasty.

Living what he saw and heard in his previous life allowed Liu Chan to avoid many detours. This is the advantage of the traverser, not smarter than the ancients, but more than the ancients 1,800 years of knowledge, it can also be said to be experience, if you say knowledge in general, it is not wrong, but Liu Chan does not necessarily read more than the ancients, such as Pang Tong, Liu Chan's two lives combined do not have Pang Tong read more books in half of his life.

Therefore, Liu Chan now thinks back to his previous life, and is very grateful for the information age, where all knowledge can be simplified and quickly absorbed by those who see it.

The sound of rain was pouring down, and Pang Tong was surprised by the huge ambition in Liu Chan's heart, Liu Chan looked at the huge and hazy world through this small window.

The cheerful sound of the trumpet turned into a cheerful unknown singing voice, and although I couldn't understand what it was singing, the happiness in that tone couldn't be hidden.

At this moment, these people pulling the boat are indeed happy.

What makes them happy is only those two buckets of food.

After half an hour, the rain gradually became lighter, and Liu Chan could finally see the scene on the shore clearly.

The Xiangshui here is already very narrow, only more than 100 zhang wide, the two sides of the strait are the flat path that the slender man walked out of over the years, pulling the rope and the naked slender man pulling the boat hard, although it is difficult, but the step is steady, stepping on the muddy ground, step by step, there are few falls.

After a few more moments, the fleet came to a halt with a shout.

There is a reef area ahead, and there is no guide who is familiar with this section of water to lead the boat, so the large ship with a deep draft can easily run into the reef and sink.

There is a distance of 200 miles from Dong'an Township in Quanling to the junction of Lingqu and Xiangshui, and this distance is the most difficult to sail, even if it is pulled by a slender man, it will take a full seven days. If it is a small boat, it is much faster, a bamboo pole, a oar, can quickly pass through this water.

Liu Chan drew some patterns on the silk, and after a while, Liu Chan looked at the patterns on the silk, and said to Pang Tong, who had been watching next to him: "In the dry season, it may be difficult to pass the big boat here." These are the schematic diagrams of the dams, and the Quanling County Order should be able to understand them. "

On both sides of the river, a dam stretching into the middle of the river is built every 100 meters, and the left and right sides are stepped all the way upstream, and the center of the river is used for boats, which can not only play a role in not intercepting the river crossing, but also play a role in maximizing the storage of water in the river. To put it simply, it reduces the channel through which the water can go downstream.

After reading it, Pang Tong praised: "It's a good idea."

"If you have the manpower and financial resources, you can build a land route to the Ling Canal directly from Dong'an, so that it will be easier for large ships to travel through this water area empty." Liu Chan said.

"There is a small road, but if it is widened, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources, and Quanling County cannot afford it.

Liu Chan said: "Once we take Jiaozhou, after this road is repaired, whether it is our army going from south to north or caravan exchanges, it will be more convenient to pass, and the money spent on construction is not worth mentioning compared with the benefits obtained."

"Not only here, if the roads are built well and the waterways are also cleaned, it will be faster and more convenient to get from Jingzhou to Jiaozhou, which can not only strengthen Jingzhou's control over Jiaozhou, but also promote the commerce and trade of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, and the benefits are huge!" Liu Chan pondered.

Taking out a piece of silk again, Liu Chanfen wrote a book, stating to Pang Tong the benefits of connecting Jingzhou and Jiaozhou.

Pang Tong has long been familiar with Liu Chan's various thoughts, and he has long been used to this child giving him all kinds of accidents.

After Liu Chan finished writing, Pang Tong also helped revise it.

After a few days, the weather was clear, and finally reached the entrance of the Ling Canal, and the army leaned on the shore to rest temporarily.

Those slender people are also ready to leave, and when they return to Quanling County, they will receive the rewards and rewards they deserve.

At the border between Xiangshui and Lingqu, there are wharves on both sides, and there are merchant inns next to the wharf, for merchants to eat and rest, the arrival of the army makes the people on these wharves chill, it has been many years, and there has been no army here.

Zhao Yun also ordered the soldiers not to get off the ship and move privately, so the two sides did not commit any crimes.

After staying for a day, the fleet entered the Ling Canal, which was dug by the population, the water was slow and deep, and the big boat only needed to paddle to move.

After crossing the Ling Canal and entering the upper reaches of Lishui, the next step is to go down the river, and the speed will be much faster.

Liu Chan stood on the deck, looking at the flat terrain of the Lingqu, but there was little land for farming, remembering that in later generations, there were fields on both sides here, and the border between Xiangshui and Lingqu was the city.

However, the spirit canal in later generations is far less wide than now, and the current spirit canal can still pass large ships, although the spirit canal in later generations has been repaired, but because of the construction of sluices, the spirit canal has been cut off, and finally it can only be reduced to a small stream that irrigates farmland on both sides and provides water supply to the city.

"Farmland can be reclaimed on both sides of the strait, and this should be under the jurisdiction of Lingling County, and such a good land has not been reclaimed, which is a dereliction of duty by the county order of Lingling County." (Note: Lingling County Governance Office Quanling, now Lingling District, Yongzhou.) Lingling County also has Lingling County, bordering Quanling County)

"I have traveled all over Jingnan, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a lot of land that can be reclaimed for good land, but in the end, because the population is too small, it cannot be effectively reclaimed, and the same is true for Lingling County. Pang Tong said on the side.

Jingnan is sparsely populated, there are many reasons, the biggest reason is environmental factors, human beings are still in a stage of watching the sky to eat, allowing nature to give a way to live, far from reaching the process of conquering nature.

The process is extremely long, taking millennia.

However, the whole section of the Lingqu is not desolate, Liu Chan still saw a lot of villages on both sides of the river and scattered lonely huts, the people standing on the shore may have never seen so many ships sailing on the water at the same time, they all came out to watch, when they saw the soldiers wearing armor on the boats, some timid people also hurriedly ran into the house.

The width of the Ling Canal is not wide, the widest part is only 100 meters wide, most of them are 50 to 70 meters wide, and after entering the water from the Ling Canal, the water surface suddenly widens.

The river is wide and reaches more than 100 meters wide, and the further you go downstream, the wider the river becomes.

In later generations, Lishui belonged to the Pearl River water system, but in this era, across Guangxi, Guangdong is a big river called Yushui, this river is far longer than the Pearl River in later generations, the river is wider, control the seven counties of Jiaozhou, can not do without Yushui.

It's just that future generations can't see this big river comparable to the Yangtze River, which has undergone many changes in the long river of history, and finally only a small section remains.

Along the way, in the past, I could only see some simple situations in these places from official documents sent from various places, but now I can see it with my own eyes, and it is a different situation.

The four counties of Jingnan are still barren, and of course they also have huge development potential.

Dozens of miles down to Lishui, is Shi'an, which was called Guilin in later generations.

The name of the world is not yet the turn of Shi'an, the undeveloped wild mountains and forests, Jingnan is everywhere, and it is not a good-looking scene.

"This is the southernmost point of Lingling County, and if you go down, you will enter the boundary of Jiaozhou. We're going to rest here. He also had to send someone to Wu Ju to communicate, if his attitude was unclear, the three thousand army would directly reach Guangxin City. After getting off the boat, Pang Tong was responsible for taking Liu Chan into the city, while Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi needed to place the soldiers.

Liu Chan looked left and right at the location of Shi'an City, Lishui flows through the east of the city, there is only one wharf, it is in disrepair, but it is also usable, as for the city wall, it is a low earthen wall, and the defense ability is underneath.

Judging by its size, there should be only 10,000 or 20,000 residents in the city, and the city located on the trade route between the north and the south has developed like this.

"This Si'an has a good name, but it's too shabby. It should be positioned as the gateway to enter Jiaozhou from Jingzhou, and the gateway to Jingzhou from Jiaozhou. It shouldn't be so desolate and dilapidated. Liu Chan sighed and said.

Pang Tong already knew that Liu Chan was not for fun this trip, and he tried his best to answer Liu Chan's questions to solve his doubts.

"Shi'an was once the fief of Shi'anhou, although Shi'anhou has been cut off for a hundred years, but his family lineage has always been in Shi'an, this family is rampant in Shi'an, collecting heavy taxes, and Shangjiaduo is unwilling to stay again, so it is becoming more and more deserted. Pang Tong replied.

Liu Chan smiled: "This is something that you can't see in official documents." Master, Shi'an is a good place, and you can't spoil a party's feng shui because of a few grains of mouse droppings. This city should be more prosperous than Quanling, Lingling and even Linxiang. "

Ma Shun, you take two hundred white soldiers and go and copy the remnants of this Laoshizi Shi'an. "When encountering this kind of evil force that is the one side of the disaster, Liu Chan is too lazy to be reasonable, and it is most effective to send someone over to cut through the mess quickly.

Pang Tong did not object to Liu Chan's move, but said: "I'll go and meet the magistrate of Shi'an." "

The army did not enter the city, but built a camp outside the city, considering the control of Jiaozhou in the future, Zhao Yun planned to build a permanent military camp, so the site selection, construction materials Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi personally went into battle.

The location of the camp is in the northern part of Si'an City, on the shore of Lishui, and on the side are rolling mountains.

It took a few days to build the barracks, a few days to wait for Wu Ju's reply, and a minimum of five days for the army to stay in Si'an City.
