If they can't reach the stronghold tonight, they will starve to death or freeze to death.

Halfway through the crowd, a group of people came to meet them, and now everyone was saved.

......

A mountain top dozens of miles away.

Camp.

The people were settled here.

Qin Mu and Li Er changed into clean clothes in the tent, and drank ginger syrup to drive away the cold.

moment.

Several officials came in.

"Qian Liang, the prefect of Shanzhou City, my humble minister, sees His Majesty, and sees the son-in-law."

"Weichen Shanzhou City Mayor Li Zhaokai sees His Majesty, sees Prince Consort."

"The last general, Commander-in-Chief of the Shanzhou Army, Zhang Yu, sees His Majesty and Prince Consort."

......

A few of them were shocked today.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty and Prince Consort came to Shanzhou in person.

Li Er waved his hand with joy on his face.

"You don't need to be too polite, dear ones. I have heard about your affairs. You are all good. You are all ministers of my great Tang humerus."

"You really put the safety of the people in your heart."

Li Erfang just inquired about it.

Qian Liang and his team started to organize manpower to manage and save people as soon as the flood occurred.

Moreover, in the past few days, he has been on the front line with the people day and night.

This made Li Er very happy.

Datang's officialdom gradually cleared up, and there were more and more parents.

Qian Liang and the others hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Originally they thought that Li Er would blame them for their ineffectiveness. After all, there were not many places with floods this year, but Shanzhou City was the first to bear the brunt.

Moreover, wherever His Majesty and Prince Consort went, there would be a bloodbath.

But today, instead of blaming them, they even praised them.

Of course, Li Er also understands that there is no way to deal with natural and man-made disasters, and the focus is on the follow-up governance of local officials.

Immediately afterwards, Li Er continued to ask: "How many towns in Shanzhou were affected by the disaster this time, and how many people are there?"

Qian Liang responded, "Return to Your Majesty, there are five counties and towns, six villages, and about 7000 households."

Li Er nodded slightly, and frowned slightly, "It seems that there are not many people affected by the disaster, and it is only tens of thousands."

Compared to the past few years, this has been very good.

In the past few years, millions of people were affected by floods in the south of the Yangtze River, but after treatment, the situation improved a lot.

As the old saying goes, floods are not blocked, but dredged.

Now all places are supplemented by reinforcement of dams, and mainly by dredging rivers and building canals.

In this way, it not only solves the flood disaster, but also increases the irrigated area, which is a good thing.

Li Er continued to ask: "Have you thought of a solution to the resettlement of these people?"

Qian Liang responded: "Your Majesty, we have already worked out a preliminary plan to combine the six villages into one town, and then find six places with higher terrain to build county towns, so as to avoid such dangerous situations from happening again in the future. "

Chapter 1266 I spent more than 70 silver

Hearing this, Li Er frowned slightly.

It is not impossible to combine six villages into one town, and then build another six towns.

In this way, it saves a lot of things.

Immediately afterwards, Li Er asked: "Then have you chosen the address? This is allocated by the Ministry of Households, and the imperial court funded the construction of these six towns."

Hearing this, Qian Liang was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, I have already selected the address. It is just around Shanzhou City, and there are large areas of fertile land. If there is another flood in the future, don't worry about it." Was washed out of town."

Li Er nodded, "Okay, when the things here are almost settled, I will ask my son-in-law to help you plan the county town, and then you can just tell me where to build it."

Qian Liang saluted and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Er waved his hand, "You guys go get busy, you don't have to worry about me here, let's take a good rest."

Hearing this, Qian Liang and the others cupped their hands and bowed in salute, "It's Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Then they left the tent.

Li Er and the others were roasting by the fire, wearing loose military uniforms.

"My son-in-law, please tell me how to plan the overall plan here."

"Didn't Qian Liang just say that six counties and towns will be built?"

Qin Mu frowned slightly, and murmured.

"In fact, the six counties and towns are nothing. The most important thing is that we have to wait. Now that the mountain torrents in Shanzhou have not subsided, materials such as cement and bricks need to be transported here from Chang'an City."

"Therefore, His Majesty must be fully prepared for craftsmen."

"Otherwise, don't expect to finish the project years ago."

what?

Li Er was shocked when he heard this.

need......

Does it take this long?

But thinking about it, just the time to go back and forth to transport materials is enough for them to delay for a while.

"That's fine." Li Er pondered and said: "Right now, I don't have any major problems, why don't we just wait here, and when the county and town start construction, before we leave, how can you not care about the cement house?" Let me see what it's like."

Li Er roughly estimated that these six towns were a huge investment.

......

half a month later.

The flood in Shanzhou finally receded.

The Shanzhou Army began to repair official roads and public facilities that had been washed away by the flood.

But don't worry about the newly planted corn, the arable land is soaked.

Under Li Er's transfer order, truckloads of grain were transported from Chang'an granary to Shanzhou.

It's not that the granary in Shanzhou was damaged, but mainly because Li Er wanted to subsidize some grain for the people.

Shanzhou City.

Western suburbs.

fifty miles away.

Halfway up a hill.

Thousands of artisans from the Ministry of Industry gather here.

Cement, red bricks, glass, etc. from Mangya Industrial Zone are continuously transported here.

This is the new address of Hongye Town.

It is also a project jointly undertaken by the Mangya Engineering Team and the Ministry of Industry Engineering Team.

This place will become the benchmark of Datang folk houses in the future.

Li Er and Qin Mu were wearing hard hats and wandering around the construction site.

As far as the eye can see, everything is real gold and silver.

Li Er turned his head to look at Qin Mu, and said in a deep voice.

"My son-in-law, you are really ruthless. Do you know how much money I need to invest in this private house? Nearly a hundred taels of silver."

"The construction of these six towns will cost me a total of 70 taels!"

"70 taels!"

"Do you know that Dai Zhou almost came to Shanzhou to look for me!"

When this matter was mentioned, Li Er became very angry.

Qin Mu frowned slightly, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, then I didn't propose this matter. Didn't you beg for nothing to build a cement house? The cost of this thing is not cheap."

"Nowadays, the income of ordinary people is not low, and it takes a few years to renovate a cement house like this."

Li Er said in a deep voice: "You son of a bitch, if this cement house is not as good as you said, I will never end with you."

Qin Mu said disapprovingly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the concrete house is warm in winter and cool in summer, shelters from wind and rain, and is very strong. It must be much stronger than these mud ovaries."

Li Er flicked his sleeves and snorted, "At any rate, the common people's income is high now, otherwise who can afford this house?"

Hearing this, Qin Mu didn't say anything, Li Er invested a lot this time, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.

moment.

Everyone came to a foundation not far away.

This is the first cement house in Hongye Town, and it is also the place where Li Er inspected the results.

He had to know how and where he spent the more than 70 taels of silver.

Thinking of this now, Li Er still feels very heartbroken. If he had known about spending so much money, he would have invested in it.

At this time, the foundation of this cement house has been laid, and the bricklayers are skillfully blending cement, sieving sand, moving bricks, and laying bricks.

A set of movements is smooth and flowing, extremely skillful, and the coordination is quite tacit.

Li Er was quite happy to see it. After all, it was professionals doing professional work, and all the bricklayers were masters.

at the same time.

Fu Donglin, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, ran over and saluted, "I see your majesty, my son-in-law."

Li Er nodded, his brows beamed with joy, and he muttered: "The Ministry of Industry is doing a good job. I see that each of these bricklayers is skilled and serious in their work. You officials have merit."

Hearing this, Fu Donglin frowned, and said falteringly: "Return...Return to Your Majesty, these bricklayers are all from the Mangya Engineering Team, not...not from our Ministry of Industry Engineering Team."

Li Er was taken aback, and then said in surprise, "They're all from the Mangya engineering team? What about our engineering team from the Ministry of Industry?"

Fu Donglin pointed to the construction site and explained: "Those who mix cement, those who sieve sand, those who throw bricks, those who lay tiles..."

Li Er: ...

The Ministry of Industry has existed since ancient times, and it is one of the major departments of the century-old imperial court.

Nowadays, it is not as good as a Mangya engineering team that has just been established a few years ago?

The people in the Mangya engineering team are all bricklayers, and the people in the engineering team of the Ministry of Industry are all handymen?

Where do I put my face! ?

Li Er looked at Fu Donglin angrily.

Fu Donglin bowed his head and remained silent.

Qin Mu stood aside and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be angry about this. The cement house was originally researched in the Mangya Industrial Zone. These craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry have never even seen the blueprint, let alone how to build it."

"The Mangya engineering team is professionally trained. They are familiar with every brick and tile of this cement house."

"After the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry have followed this project, I think they will be able to undertake this project independently in the future."

Hearing this, Li Er's eyebrows stretched, and he nodded slightly, but it was the same reason.
