Chapter 382 Surveying Water Sources
Chapter 382 Surveying the Water Source
The scope of the new third district is actually very wide. The area where the county is located, three hundred miles to the north, is the territory of the new third district!
But when it was first built, it was definitely not possible to spread the stalls so large!
Therefore, the army started to stop fifty miles away from the residential area, and then took this place as the core, circled outwards, pushed forward from here to the surrounding area, and started to build a new area from here.

This entire new area was originally built within a hundred miles.

Get well developed, and then slowly push outward.

The construction of a district must have a phased plan.

Qin Yang had great expectations for the new third district, and gave three five-year plans, that is to say, Qin Yang gave 15 years to complete the construction of the area within three hundred miles.

Within 15 years, this area can be built according to his plan, which is tantamount to success.

If the time can be shortened, that is of course good, but if the time cannot be shortened, it is also possible to develop step by step and develop for 15 years.

Both Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo had seen the three five-year plans, and they all praised them.

The current first five-year plan is to build the inner city of the new third district within a hundred miles.

Because the new third district not only has the responsibility of an ordinary residential area, but also has the responsibility of acting as a checkpoint.

Of course, the outermost place, because of the large uninhabited land with harsh environment, even the grassland tribes, would not easily step over it, and every time they came, it was for the purpose of plundering.

But relying solely on natural checkpoints is obviously not enough.

As for the county city, there are actually several barriers outside the county city, and the county city itself is even more of a checkpoint.

But these, after Qin Yang became the King of Youzhou, they will naturally change.

People in Chang'an regard the county town of Youzhou as a checkpoint to stop the grassland people, which is no problem.But if the people of Youzhou regard the county as the first checkpoint, there will be a big problem!
Isn't this tantamount to acquiescing that you are living on the front line of danger?Even the county town of a county is the first and most dangerous. How can the people living in this place feel safe?

How could they be willing to live and thrive in this place?
This is also the reason why Youzhou, as a county, has the least number of people in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Because everything that can go, goes!
Who wants to be the first person to be stabbed after the prairie people invaded the Central Plains!
To stay, there needs to be more benefits to make people nostalgic, not just because there is nowhere to go.

What Qin Yang has to do now is to create a few more artificial checkpoints for the periphery of Youzhou!And it's strong enough!Let even people who live in these levels realize that they are safe enough!Not cannon fodder!They are not border residents who can be easily abandoned!

This is the goal Qin Yang set for himself!
After all, to others, Youzhou is just a county, but to Qin Yang, Youzhou is his fiefdom!It is the place where I want to live for a long time in the future!
It's just that after Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo walked around the area for tens of miles, they felt a little worried.

The reason they were worried was that there was no river nearby!

Within a radius of dozens of miles, there is not a single river!

Even if there is a river farther away, but there is no river nearby, how will the people live, how will they eat and live, and how will they live?

The water bladders they bring are enough so that they don't have to worry about running out of water for a few days!

How many days later?

Even if one or two lakes can be found, more than 6 people are not enough!
The two were worried when an eagle flew down and landed on Cheng Chumo's raised arm.

On one of the eagle's talons, a letter box is tied.

Cheng Chumo took out the letter from inside, opened it, and became happy.

"Father, the king is coming!"

"The king is coming?"

Cheng Yaojin was a little surprised: "The king is in such a hurry? Come here now?"

"Yes, the king will arrive in an hour at most."

It's morning now. They started their journey the morning before yesterday. They rested for the common people on the way. They walked dozens of miles. They arrived at their destination yesterday. Today is the early morning after camping for the night.

Didn't expect the king to arrive so soon?
However, if the majesty came on horseback, it would indeed be faster than their stop-and-go, tens of miles, in fact, he could arrive very quickly.

Sure enough, not long after they received the news, Qin Yang arrived with his own soldiers.

As soon as he arrived, Cheng Yaojin immediately went up to meet him and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you will come here in a few days?"

He was not surprised that Qin Yang would come over, after all, Qin Yang had said before that he would survey the water source.

And surveying groundwater is a very important thing to establish the new three districts.

Qin Yang said with a smile: "I happened to finish dealing with government affairs, so I might as well come here earlier. Why, didn't I find any other water source?"

When he saw the expressions of the father and son, he guessed something.

Cheng Chumo smiled wryly: "The source of water is really hard to find. We have searched hard, but we couldn't even find a small river."

Qin Yang comforted him and said, "I've walked all the way and found that the vegetation here is lush and lush. In this case, if there are no surface rivers, there must be a lot of groundwater. Don't worry, I will go to survey and let someone dig a well."

The people he brought along, including veteran well-drillers, all came with tools.

Hearing that His Majesty is here, and he is going to survey the water source, the generals who followed Cheng's father and son were very curious.

Of course they knew about the supernatural powers of the king, but hearing about it was one thing, but seeing it with their own eyes was another.

His Majesty is indeed a good-looking talent, and he looks extraordinary, but they have lived for so long, but they have never seen anything miraculous with their own eyes.This has never been seen before, so naturally I am dubious.

Especially with regard to things like groundwater surveying, this kind of thing should be a specialization in the art industry, right?
There are also some people in their team who are good at this, but so far, they haven't been sure which place can drill wells.

Your Majesty is so young, it is said that he knows a lot, and is also good at other aspects. A person's energy is always limited, right?Could it be that the king is so young, he can really understand so many things at the same time?
These generals and clerks all followed the Cheng family father and son, and accompanied Qin Yang around.

Relying on the special function given by the system, Qin Yang rode a horse and walked back and forth.

Seeing that he was so leisurely, he didn't get off his horse to watch, and he just watched the flowers like this, the others were a little bit guilty.

Someone whispered to his companions: "Can your lord really find the source of water? Why does this seem strange? Just ride on a horse like this and walk around, and you can see where water can come from?"

Are they reading fairy tales?
But the problem is, this is reality!

They had never seen anyone who could tell where there was water with just a glance like this!

Which one is not able to draw a conclusion after careful observation?

The Cheng family's father and son naturally saw that their subordinates were dubious, but in fact, the two of them were also a little bit guilty.
