sweeping the world

Chapter 650 Unhappy Trust

Guanzhong is not too hot in summer, and with the influence of the Little Ice Age, the summer in Guanzhong can even be said to be comfortable.

Liu Yan wanted to choose Guanzhong as his capital, and he didn't just say a word and it was done.His plan was to build a new capital near the Qinling Mountains without building walls and to use various passes as defense.

"The drought in Xiliang is an established fact, and it is for this reason that the construction of the capital is imperative." Liu Yan's recent attention is not only on the military, but most of his attention is on the rainfall in various places: "The rainfall in the Central Plains is partial. There is less rainfall, with the north having the least rainfall. No abnormalities have been found in the south for the time being, so Jingzhou needs to pay close attention to its development."

When they arrived in Chang'an, Liu Yan and other members of the royal family naturally lived in Miyagi. It must be said that Miyagi was very dilapidated, almost dilapidated everywhere, and they were simply cleaned up.

The entire city of Chang'an looked dilapidated, but it became more popular because people migrated from all over the place. After the big guys arrived, they cleaned up the ruins, and a large amount of garbage was sent out of the city every day.

As the core area, the palace city is no better than the city. It is even because it was the palace city that suffered the most serious damage. After the Xiongnu and Zhao fell, various ethnic groups led by the Jie people rushed in, looted and set fire to it. Anyone who dares can come in and hunt for treasures. Not to mention the ruins and excrement everywhere.

Before Liu Yan decided to settle in Chang'an City, what Captain Qinzhou did was to clean up the palace city in advance. The excrement and some damaged things could be cleaned up, but the damaged buildings were difficult to repair in a short time.

Now, the grand court meeting of the Han Dynasty is held in a dilapidated hall, and the interior is tidied up very cleanly, but when you look up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds through a lot of holes, and the pillars in the hall can see the scars that have been peeled off , if it weren't for the carpet on the ground, you would definitely see some potholes filled with mud.

The carpet is a kind of felt, and the main material is wool. With the current technology, it is impossible to completely remove the smell of livestock. As a result, even if there are vents everywhere in the hall, if it is not covered with sandalwood, the air will still smell A distinct odor.

Jingzhou is an important development town determined by Liu Yan during his southern tour. Mainly relying on the local convenience, he reclaimed a lot of new farming areas, stationed in the Tuntian Corps, and rented the land to the people in a lease model.

The development of Jingzhou is of course to cope with the severe drought that will occur in the Central Plains in the next few years. Except for Jingzhou, areas in the south with suitable environment are stepping up the development of farming. Most of the slaves who were originally arranging the irrigation system in the north were transferred to the south.

The irrigation system in the north has been sorted out for at least three years, and the answer after the evaluation is more cruel. Even if the original irrigation system is restored, the grain output in the Central Plains will still be worrying, so the construction force will be dispatched to those affected by the drought. The least affected South.

This is the advantage of a country with a large territory. It will not be destroyed by a sudden natural disaster because of a small territory. When necessary, resources can be allocated from other regions to support the disaster-stricken area.

Of course, there are some unspeakable things about a large territory. For example, the larger the territory, the higher the ruling pressure of the center, not only in terms of national defense, but also in the development of people's livelihood. If there are few, there must be poor areas.

"Construction of the capital will enable work-for-relief to be carried out effectively." Ji Chang is the prime minister. If a drought really occurs in the future, he will be under great pressure. How to carry out disaster relief is a big problem: "In the future, Guanzhong will be a big man." It can also attract more people to settle in the customs.”

A drought is about to occur, and too many places will have no harvests. If we only mobilize food to go to various places for charity, even if we really mobilize food to go to various places, how will we carry out disaster relief, and how will we prevent corruption, which will lead to disasters? Man-made disasters are even greater and have always been a serious problem for the ruling class.

Liu Yan didn't want to build a new city because he was idle and bored. The existing Chang'an was too dilapidated and almost worthless to repair. It was more of a big project to enter into more effective supervision.

All people are gathered together for formation management, and the people participating in the labor have a stable source of food.Because it is a state of supervision, more social order will be guaranteed, and social order under natural disasters will be guaranteed to the greatest extent.What’s more, it’s fundamental to get what you work for. People who have some dignity don’t want to get charity. Using labor to exchange materials for survival can at least make people think that what they get is labor income, and they can feel more at ease. will feel humbled.

Building a new capital city will be a big project, which can attract people from Guanzhong, and even people from Hedong, Hanoi, Henan and other areas outside Guanzhong can come here. This is equivalent to large-scale migration with forced administrative orders.

After the drought, participating in the construction in Guanzhong will provide a stable source of food, which will inevitably attract a large number of people to enter Guanzhong. They will become locals in Guanzhong in the future to fill in the missing population in Guanzhong.This kind of action does not involve any administrative coercion, and it will not cause public resentment at all. On the contrary, they have to be a little grateful to survive the entry into the customs in the year of catastrophe.

"In addition to the construction of the capital in Guanzhong, the same can be done in all counties and counties." Cai You said that relief is based on work: "Disasters are naturally a bad thing. Since all regions need disaster relief, why not resume local construction nationwide."

Liu Yan looked at Tian Shuo.

Working-for-relief is naturally a good idea, but everything has a basis, that is, food must keep up. Without enough food, everything is fake.

It can even be said that food is only basic materials, such as clothes, bedding, melon bowls and pans, and corresponding labor tools, etc. The materials needed are simply massive calculations.

Liu Yan is the new generation under the red banner, and he still belongs to the group of the 80s. He is not as unfamiliar with certain things as he was after [-], and he is very clear about some things.

The people born in the [-]s and [-]s grew up during the period of rapid development in the Chinese dynasty. At least until they reached adulthood, they were in a protected environment. They were exposed to things and things that were basically in line with the world. They were interested in electronic products and some entertainment. Get more familiar.

Some people born in the 1980s and before have so many electronic products and entertainment. Even those born in the 1970s have participated in various types of labor since childhood. Their understanding of the new era may not be as good as those born in [-]. The problem is that they understand Different levels lead to different ideas.

To put it bluntly, if you really want to travel back in time after [-], most people will only play with electronic products and are more familiar with entertainment. In ancient times without electronic products and entertainment, they will definitely not be able to do as many things as their predecessors. .They want to engage in "high technology", but any technology is based on a series of supporting processes and technologies. If they really want to engage in it, they have to start from the basics. If they want to do it, they must have practical skills, but any basics involve Knowledge can be calculated in immeasurable quantities.

To put it simply, I know how to manufacture a car, but qualified related steel and aluminum materials must be able to be produced, and then internal combustion engines, power distribution, plastics, everything must be made from scratch, because there were no such things in ancient times. Those, that is, the individual has a full set of knowledge, but he does not have a corresponding team. If he does it alone, can he handle it in a lifetime?If you really want to build a car, you need oil to start it, so let's go to chemistry!
After 1980s, at least they were no strangers to farming. Those before the 70s knew better. Any development is based on the premise of not starving to death.

The innate skills of flower growers are limited to the vast majority of people born in the 1990s. Some people may not have even seen farmland with their own eyes and have no practical hands-on ability. There really was no high-tech soil in ancient times, and some simple soil tools are more suitable. .

The Han Dynasty conquered the grassland. In order to make the grassland have its value, farming was difficult and impossible, so grazing naturally could not be stopped. Since the fifth year of Yuanshuo, the grassland has been providing a large amount of textiles to the hinterland and driving cattle from various places. And sheep also brought meat to the table.

Because of Liu Yan's vigorous promotion, the climate in various places is really getting colder. Wool clothing is replacing the linen market at a very fast speed.

"Dahan has mature stamping technology. As long as the raw materials can keep up, related utensils will not be a problem at all." Cai You is most comfortable with this. In the past, even making money was a troublesome thing. Now as long as the mold is figured out, there is nothing that cannot be made. , especially some tools that don’t need to emphasize small differences in size: “Maybe it can really turn a bad thing into a good thing.”

Cai You is talking about the national system, what the country is eager to accomplish, and the mobilization of all officials from the government to the private sector. In order to complete the work-for-relief program, related production must keep up. Even if it is just making spoons, it will promote an industry.

The nationwide scale of work-for-work requires a bottomless pit of supplies, and the pressure will not be small.

"No matter how difficult it is, we must do our best to complete it." Liu Yan has long been aware of the development and internal affairs of the ministers. He has heard a lot of things when he was growing up. That is really to build a sound industrial foundation. : "Food and other materials, if you can't meet them in the country, go out and grab them. If you don't understand the relevant workshops, go to understand them. Anyway, they must be built!"

There are a large number of people having fun on the Indochina Peninsula. They have robbed Linyi and Funan of the land, and they should use the production capacity of those lands.If the Indochina Peninsula is not enough, the government can even support them to go to Ah San's territory. As long as they can grab what the country needs, there is nothing the government can't support.

Yu Yi, who was standing in the train, grinned. They had made up their minds long ago, no matter how many monkeys would starve to death, if the king wanted food, they would keep searching for food from the Indochina Peninsula.As soon as he heard what Liu Yan said, he knew that there would be new areas for fun, and he didn't care who he would meet wherever he went. With the backing of a powerful country, he just wanted to be angry anyway, regardless of the process of being angry. No matter how much losses they suffered, it was indispensable for them to earn.

Not only Yu Yi was happy, Ji Chang, Cai You, Tian Shuo and other officials whose functions were involved in civil affairs were all very happy. When it came to internal affairs, what they were afraid of was that the king didn't want to do anything. None.

The Central Plains is going to be in a drought, and if they don’t do anything, they will wait for the people to have a hard time living. They don’t know much about Liu Yan’s arrangements, but they can draw a blueprint in their minds. There is no limit to the work-for-relief, so that the huge labor force can do anything that is good for the local infrastructure.The state vigorously supports folk workshops, and the output of the workshops has a fixed and stable market, and almost everything they do is for nothing.

The main hall was very dilapidated, and the wind would blow down from the roof from time to time. However, most people felt hot in their hearts, and those who were a little depressed were probably the military.

If you want to use work for relief, you will definitely need supervisors, including Xu Zheng and a group of military personnel. What is depressed is that the country has made such a big move. Don't think about what big moves it can make to the outside world. Without war, the military cannot make achievements.

As a warrior, it is his duty to be on the battlefield. Besides his duty, it is his ideal to win titles and generals. Peace is definitely good for most people, but it is really sad for warriors.

Xu Zheng felt somewhat relieved that Liu Yan more or less promised the military to keep the two standing armies in a state of war, which caused him to keep thinking about how to use them, whether to target the Xianbei Grassland, or to Xigao who dared to stretch out his hands and feet. The car bared its fangs.

"We... will become the chief supervisor in the future?" Huan Wen came to Chang'an from the south two days ago, and stood behind Xu Zheng, unable to hide the depression in his heart at all: "It's completely understandable in the Central Plains, but it's also necessary in the South." in this way."

Concentrating a large group of people must have an effective management system. Management by the army is definitely more suitable than the local official system. Then the various military generals in the center have really become the chief supervisors.They not only have to manage people, but also manage a large amount of allocated materials. From their understanding, a lot of bullshit will be unavoidable in the future.

Huan Wen was depressed not only because he wanted to be the head of the supervisor, but because his application to the Central Committee for wanton shipbuilding was rejected, and his army entering the Indochina Peninsula was even more rejected. Taking only a small number of warships across the sea is two different things from leading a large number of warships across the sea. , It is even more disappointing not to be able to go to Indochina to bully monkeys.

"We are military generals, we are military generals!" Huan Wen glanced at Liu Yan secretly, and then glanced angrily at the civilian officials who were all happy: "They are responsible for murder and arson, and they should not be responsible for construction. What to do?"

Xu Zheng rolled his eyes when he heard that, he was actually very desperate before, okay, so he even complained to Liu Yan, but it was of no use, even because Liu Yan's few words made him almost excited shock.

"Your Majesty trusts us." Xu Zheng didn't hold back his voice, and said: "It's because the civil servants have done too many dirty things, so they really can't control the right to mobilize supplies, or they don't know how many corrupt and corrupt things will happen. thing."

Huan Wen understood. Liu Yan was not at ease with the vast amount of supplies that civilian officials could control. He had more trust in the military, but he was really not happy at all: [As long as there is no rebellion, more supplies will mean more trouble, okay? ! 】

Xu Zheng's voice was not low, and the surrounding civil servants immediately had a bad face when they heard it.
