The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 416 The Birth of an Infrastructure Madman

"Sure enough, as His Majesty has investigated, the water resources here are very bad..." Xun Biao, who served as the Governor of Xinzhou, came to the Western Regions and checked the hydrological conditions here himself.

Many rivers are seasonal rivers, with short flow and small water volume, and occasionally there will be direct drought for two or three months.It is obviously unrealistic to rely on such rivers for irrigation.Fortunately, there is still groundwater, which can be used as a supplement for residents.

Now they are near Kumtag, which is not too far from Turpan in later generations.

"Most of them are snowmelt water from high mountains, and there are also water sources from Lake Aiding. It is not suitable to build aqueducts here at all, but reservoirs and reservoirs may be considered, but these are within the scope of His Majesty's arrangements!" As Sun Kuang, who took office as mayor, came earlier than Xun Biao, and had already surveyed the surrounding situation.

"With this little water resources, how do we resettle the millions of people we brought along?" Xun Biao felt a little headache. Most of the way along the way was dominated by drought, and the areas suitable for planting were limited, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"There really can't be much resettlement here!" Sun Kuang pointed to the west, "There is a large oasis to the west, and that is the best place to resettle. It is estimated that we can arrange about [-] yuan here, which is considered very good. .”

"Okay, then I will leave you 20 people, and you will be responsible for arranging their work!" Xun Biao nodded and agreed after hearing the words and thinking for a while.In fact, as early as this time, he and Yiwu (Hami) in the rear arranged tens of thousands of people.

However, this arrangement at the time was mainly for the purpose of building Yiwu as an important logistics relay point. After all, it took six hundred miles north to find such an oasis after leaving Yumen Pass.In fact, this is the most fortunate thing. In future generations, there is no oasis that cannot be seen for three or four hundred kilometers. In the past thousand years, the green area has indeed been further reduced.

Of course, it is not entirely man-made. Changes in climate and rivers may cause an oasis to appear, or it may cause an oasis to disappear.In the past, the 36 countries in the Western Regions were built around the oasis. If the oasis exists, the country will exist. If the oasis disappears, the country will also disappear.

To the west of Turpan, it is naturally the largest city in Xinzhou, and it is also the state capital of this area.At least the prefecture selected by Shihui is here, and Xun Biao, as the governor, will naturally take office in the past.

Thankfully, that area, and the area further west, has more and more vegetation and relatively less desert area, making the whole area very suitable for living.

On the second day, Xun Biao marched westward with more than 80 people and supplies, leaving behind Sun Kuang with 20 people and supporting supplies.Here is an important relay point to go to the state, and even Yiwu is within the jurisdiction of this area. For the convenience of management, this area has set up three counties, plus Yiwu, a total of four counties .

County magistrates are elected directly among the common people. During this period, township and village chiefs will be selected first, and then gradually promoted on this basis.There used to be officials and common people in this area, and many of them could speak fluent Chinese language and write Chinese characters proficiently.The imperial court thought that it could give everyone a chance, whoever has the ability, who will serve as the county magistrate and city government officials.

Sun Kuang's identity is just a Juren of Dachu, who has just passed the exam, but he does not come to work in a place like Xinzhou. A Juren like him can directly serve as the mayor.Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Yi are promoted slowly due to their resumes, mainly because there are no battles to fight now. The Sun family needs a leader, and Sun Kuang can only do his part.

As for Sun Lang, you can't count on it at all. As long as he doesn't cause any problems in the army, he will be considered good.

Sun Kuang surveyed here for three days to determine where construction is needed and where construction cannot be done, where the ecology needs to be protected, and where trees need to be replanted.During this period, the common people were organized to learn the technology of drip irrigation, and the equipment was transported in place one after another.

"This oasis cannot be used for farming. The farming area must be carefully planned. At the same time, livestock and poultry should be mainly raised, and fruit trees should be planted as a supplementary source of food..." On the fourth day, Sun Kuang gave a planning map , Summon all the existing officials here.

"This is a big project, and it's not easy to do it!" Listening to Sun Kuang's analysis and looking at the planning map, an official soon came forward, "Besides, our term of office is three years, no more than six years. After making it, wouldn’t it just be cheaper for others in the end?”

"Everyone is a citizen of China!" Sun Kuang patted the table, "What we do is to enable the people here to live a better life, how can we ignore this because of political achievements? everything?"

Paused, coughed lightly, and continued: "But political achievements are related to promotion, so it's not surprising that you care about it. Your Majesty has already made arrangements for this situation! Large-scale projects like this have already begun to report to me from the beginning of construction. It will be reported to the state government later, and the state government will record and register. When the term is changed in three years, the above will send people down to verify the construction situation, and then calculate the performance according to the proportion. If you have the ability, you can take all the achievements last night. If you only do a little bit of work, then you can get less, as His Majesty said, whoever starts and who lays the foundation will have political achievements!"

"Then how about starting a few more projects?" Someone soon came up with a crooked idea.

"Do you think people in Jinyiwei are vegetarians if they start construction?" Sun Kuang shook his head, "Reporting to the project will send people to investigate on a regular basis. Ask for a review, these will affect the annual evaluation, if you want to die, don't take me with you!"

"That's not what I mean by being an official..." The official who made the proposal quickly apologized, but he didn't expect the higher-ups to think so thoroughly.

"I don't want to talk nonsense!" Sun Kuang pointed to the plan, "20 people will always need to eat and drink water. The houses can be simpler, and there is a shack to pay attention to. The main thing is to first The kang was built. Then water conservancy and farmland, greening is carried out at the end, at least the water supply of these people must be guaranteed before winter!"

"But you can't cut down trees. What about the firewood? After winter, it's very cold here!" an official asked.

"This time I brought a lot of coal, and later I will arrange for people to make briquettes and briquettes, which are burnable and much cheaper than firewood. The disadvantage is that there is a lot of black smoke, and the design of the kang requires a special smoke exhaust port. OK." Sun Kuang also had an argument for this, or the higher-ups had already made preparations.

"Since your lord has already arranged it properly, we naturally have no objection!" The officials discussed with each other, but they couldn't find any faults, so they agreed.

Relatively speaking, as Sun Kuang said, if opening a project, whether it is water conservancy, road construction, or urban construction, can be counted as political achievements, then Xinzhou can be said to be full of political achievements.After a few years of hard work, he may be directly promoted and made a fortune, or even transferred to a wealthy place in the Central Plains to serve as an official.

Just for this, what else is there to say, isn't it infrastructure?Not to mention the 20 people brought by Sun Kuang, there are tens of thousands of people living in this oasis, at least tens of thousands of people can directly put into labor!

Maybe Sun Kuang, and even Shi Hui didn't expect that Da Chu's infrastructure madness road would start to sprout in Xinzhou...

　To be precise, in the past in Jiaozhi County, this has already sprouted, right?
