The Red House starts from Liaodong

Tang Qing'an and Lin Ruhai drank tea and discussed how to recruit a domestic talent.

This talent.

It can turn waste into treasure in Liaodong.

Yes.

In the eyes of many elders in the imperial court, as well as people's old impressions, Liaodong is a place of bitter cold.

It is a place where sinners are exiled.

The general wants to invite a technical official who is good at water conservancy from home to Liaodong to take charge of the water conservancy projects in the entire territory.

Hearing the general's plan, Lin Ruhai was shocked.

Locally, the ditches that use surface water or groundwater to extend canals are compared to building a canal that runs through Liaodong.

It requires the use of human, material and financial resources, and the difficulty of the two is very different.

The scale of Liaodong's ability to gather millions of people has exceeded Lin Ruhai's imagination before coming here.

Now listen to the general's plan.

The future Liaodong, together with Nuer Gansi, will reach the scale of gathering thousands of people. Such a big ambition really makes Lin Ruhai speechless.

"This?"

Lin Ruhai didn't know how to speak.

Building this kind of ditches is really no joke.

When Qin State built the canal, Qin State survived, so it won, but if it did not survive, it would be lost forever.

Does Liaodong have this strength?

Even Liaodong and Nuergansi, can they feed tens of millions of people?

As for immigration from China, Lin Ruhai is not very worried about whether the number of immigrants can reach tens of millions.

There are many hermits in the country.

The imperial court has not checked the population for many years, and still uses the yellow book from the beginning of the founding of the country, and it has not changed since then.

Whether in the north or the south, there are countless poor people struggling on the line of life and death.

"Let's not talk about Nuer Gansi, just Liaodong alone can support tens of millions of people, I'm absolutely sure."

Of course Tang Qing'an had this confidence.

Seeing the general's expression, Lin Ruhai hesitated.

The general's strategy is beyond the reach of others, and he dare not deny it easily.But he also had deep doubts.

Is it because of successive years of victories that the general feels proud?After all, the general has not yet arrived at thirty.

Liaodong alone can support tens of millions of people, which is beyond Lin Ruhai's imagination. He can't figure out how Liaodong can support these many people.

As a well-read historian, he certainly knows it well.

Since ancient times, Liaodong has been recorded in historical records as a land of grain production during the Warring States period.

It is no surprise to Lin Ruhai that it can feed millions of people, but he also thinks it is the limit of Liaodong, and the general said [-] million people.

Lin Ruhai could only be more inclined in his heart, the young general, after all, was a young man, and he got carried away with complacency.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's worried expression, Tang Qing'an knew the other party's question.

This is a matter of vision.

There is a reason why Liaodong has been separated from the Central Plains for hundreds of years. Even if Liaodong was regained in the former Ming Dynasty, the population was insufficient at the beginning of the founding of the country, and there was no fundamental change.

In addition, there are many forces in Liaodong, which belong to the frontier area, where the war is endless, and the government is also weak, or cannot organize reclamation due to military threats.

After the abolition of prefectures and counties, the system of guards was implemented, mainly small-scale military settlements in various military forts.

In the later period, the politics were dim, and the local people did not have a living, and it was impossible to build water conservancy projects.

There are many reasons.

In short.

In Dazhou, there is insufficient awareness of Liaodong, and the old impression is maintained.

...

But Tang Qing'an knew it.

In the future, in the absence of any change in productivity, the population of Liaodong will reach 3000 million with the addition of Nuer Gansi, just relying on the people spontaneously entering the Guandong.

It is one of the largest population migrations of the Han nationality in the history of thousands of years.

The wealth of this land has not revealed the shining points that he should have in front of people.

Including the Liaodong people on the land of Liaodong.

They also kept the old impression, unable to recognize the huge energy contained in the land of Liaodong.

"I asked the local governments to count the rivers in Liaodong. According to statistics, there are 31 rivers in super-large basins and [-] rivers in large-scale basins.

There are as many as 340 rivers with medium drainage area.

The main rivers are Liaohe River, Hunhe River, Taizi River, Raoyang River, Yalu River, Dayang River..."

Tang Qing'an reported his data.

Lin Ruhai was shocked again.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, I am only in this mountain.

Rich to luxurious surface water.

It is the fundamental reason why the people who will enter the Guandong in the future will be able to support a population of tens of millions on their own without relying on the power of the government.

Lin Ruhai's doubts subsided, and he raised another level of worry.

"However, the construction of such a large-scale ditch may exhaust the vitality of Jinjiang Town, and even put Jinjiang Town in a difficult situation.

In case something goes wrong, for example, the country adopts tough measures, I am afraid that Jinjiang Town will not be able to deal with it at that time. "

Tang Qing'an nodded.

Lin Ruhai is a great talent, in terms of his own talent, Tang Qing'an's aptitude is far inferior to Lin Ruhai's.

The other party's worries are the prudence that a prudent person should have.

But Tang Qing'an was different, he was a fish who had jumped across the river and saw clearly the scenes behind the various tributary rivers, and knew what choice to make.

Because of the Tumu Fortress change in Daming, maybe a small butterfly wing influenced Yu Qian, causing him to be defeated by the conservatives, leading to the downfall of Daming.

The last one to rise is Da Zhou.

But the changes of the people who live on the land cannot affect nature.

Today is still the Little Ice Age.

The next few years or even more than ten years will be the period when various natural disasters occur most frequently, and even Tang Qing'an is powerless to change it.

But he has Liaodong.

Liaodong will also be affected, so he will build large-scale water conservancy to offset the impact of natural disasters.

Break through the Kanto period.

But there is no large-scale construction of water conservancy by the government.

Calculated in this way, Tang Qing'an is confident that he can fulfill his plan.

Countless people lost their families in the natural disaster.

Natural disasters lead to man-made disasters.

More people died in man-made disasters.

Since Tang Qing'an has come to this era, of course he has to shoulder his responsibilities. This is the awareness that every person who grew up under the red banner will have.

He is not a saint, of course he has his desires, and he is reluctant to bear power, but in the face of big right and wrong, he will not make wrong choices.

As for Lin Ruhai's concern about domestic attitudes.

Tang Qing'an predicted that with the ability of the Great Zhou court, it was too exhausted to deal with natural disasters and prevent man-made disasters, so it was completely unable to take care of him.

...

But he couldn't explain it to Lin Ruhai.

But he has prestige.

Jinjiang Town was established by him alone. When he sets a goal, he has the ability to promote it, but he can't completely go his own way.

Among them, there is a degree in nature, and there is a degree in everything.

"The construction of water conservancy requires manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Jinjiang Town barely supplies the material and financial resources.

But at present we have abundant manpower, which can alleviate the demand for financial and material resources. "

Lin Ruhai understood what the general said.

Jin Jiangzhen does not implicate a good person, nor does it spare a bad person.

At the beginning, the old slave built palaces and various fortifications. After years of war, he enslaved countless Liao people and caused countless deaths and injuries to Liao people.

More than [-] people of various ethnic groups were selected in Jinjiang Town, such as Jilimi, Kuyi, Kuwu, Daur, Qiliemi, Beishan, Haixi, and Yehe.

They are all under the banner of Jinjiang Town to maintain peace and develop together.

But there are also many barbarians, according to the crimes they committed, they were either beheaded for public display, or sent to local prisons.

Building water conservancy is the most labor-intensive thing. Even Tang Qing'an's fathers before crossing over, building reservoirs were exhausted, let alone the current era.

There are too many people in prison, and they can't produce anything, they can only consume it. It is indeed the best policy to pay for crimes with work.

Lin Ruhai no longer objected, and approved the general's plan.

But who can take on this important task?
Constructing water conservancy is a technical task. It is not a person who can understand and be proficient in ordinary people, but also a great talent that cannot be found.

Especially in unfamiliar places, it is a huge project just to find out the terrain of many rivers.

Those who are proficient in the management and construction of large-scale water conservancy can leave their names in the annals of history.

For example, during the Yongle period of the former Ming Dynasty, large-scale construction of water conservancy projects, from ministers to local gentry, as long as they made contributions, were recorded in Ming history.

Including the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Whether it is the organizers and experts who harnessed the Yellow River or built large-scale water conservancy, they are all included in the annals of history.

And this kind of experience-based experts.

Only in the government, relevant yamen can emerge.

However, since the Supreme Emperor retreated behind the scenes, due to various reasons, there have been no river harnessing and water conservancy projects for many years.

No one knows if there is any talent in this area.

After all these years.

The old generation is dead, and the new generation is inexperienced.

If you choose carefully, you end up finding a person with great ambition and talent, who speaks eloquently, but is actually a person who embroiders pillows.

Holding him accountable is secondary.

Jin Jiang Town couldn't bear such a huge loss.

If the ditches are not built well, it is not a joke. Not only will the savings during the construction be wasted, but if one is not good, it can cause huge losses.

Especially the general's plan, a water conservancy project of this scale.

After the completion, Liaodong will be another Jinling.

If the repair is broken, there may be several torrents in Liaodong in the future.

Lin Ruhai has been an official in the country for many years, and he has met many people, not comparable to Xie Youcheng and others. Even Jia Jian's status in the country is far inferior to Lin Ruhai's, and it is even more difficult to get in touch with relevant people.

If the recommendation is good, the credit is not great, but if the recommendation is bad, the responsibility is huge.

Lin Ruhai, who saw the danger at a glance, did not boast about recommending it, but was extremely cautious and did not dare to speak lightly.

"Can't even Mr. Lin find anyone?"

Tang Qing'an asked depressedly.

Let him rule the river and build canals, even if he is cut clean.

With an endless river and a long distance, how to judge the trend, the high land, so that the construction project will not cause floods, I am afraid he will not even be able to touch the door.

There is a specialization in surgery.

Lin Ruhai frowned in embarrassment.

He is not someone who does not dare to take responsibility. He has been able to sit firmly in the history of Xunyan Yu for many years without taking responsibility.

"This matter is too important to make a decision lightly. Let me go back and think about it. If I don't find the right person, I will definitely not start the work."

Lin Ruhai's words are of course correct.

Tang Qing'an would never move the river rashly if he couldn't find a trustworthy talent.

After bidding farewell to Lin Ruhai, Tang Qing'an went back to the mansion.

Went to the east courtyard.

"Xiaogan is leaving in two days."

Qin Keqing suddenly turned her head and looked at her husband with complicated eyes.

According to human nature.

The letter from the lord of North Korea, at least on the surface, should take the initiative to ask Tang Yangan to stay in Jinzhou for a while, don't worry about it.

But the letter from the lord of North Korea only talked about the domestic situation.

He was in a hurry.

The Red House starts from Liaodong
