Emperor Liu Hong

() "Oh, it's so pitiful. In order to earn some water to irrigate the ground, this man's brain is like a dog's brain." Looking at the two gangs of villagers who were beaten to death, Liu Hong couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, these people are farmers in my fief, and they are my subjects no matter what, so I will show kindness and help them solve this matter."

Liu Hong is a typical man with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.Although he thought he was not a good person, when he saw the miserable appearance of the villagers, he was moved with compassion.

Originally, Liu Hong planned to build hydraulic facilities. After all, steelmaking on his farm required hydraulic blowing, and punching machines and lathes for making guns also needed hydraulic power. Even building a few mills in the fief also required hydraulic.However, due to too many projects in the near future, the construction has not started for a while. Now that this matter has caught up, it happens to be used as a personal favor, that is, it will not cost much more, and at the same time, it can gain a good reputation.

Don't look at later generations, the word "good man" has almost become a curse word.But in the Han Dynasty, a good reputation was of great use.If it weren't for his good reputation, how could Liu Bei get so many people to follow him with the name of a Han family clan member who doesn't know whether it is true or not.Even those who are kicked out are like a bereaved dog, and those who follow them will never leave. This shows the importance of a good reputation.

When they heard that Liu Hong was going to help them build water conservancy facilities, the villagers were all excited. They didn't bother to fight, and they all knelt on the ground to thank the young master for his kindness.

Hejian, named after the city surrounded by eight waters, will definitely not lack water. The common people have no water to irrigate the land, mainly because there are no ditches for water diversion.

Originally, Liu Hong had already prepared the design. He built two small reservoirs on the two hills of the farm, built a water building on the land, dug ditches, and led the water to the reservoir and the water building with water trucks. All the power problems were solved at once.Now it is necessary to add irrigation and flood discharge capabilities. Although the drawings need to be changed, the changes are not major, and it does not take much effort.

The folk customs in ancient times were simple and honest, and the common people were very down-to-earth.They heard that the young master was going to help build the irrigation system, and the people in the four villages and eight villages were grateful, and they all came to help spontaneously, and there were thousands of people.

Many people are powerful!

With so many people, plus the refugees recruited by Liu Hong, the number is almost tens of thousands.Even though Liu Hong didn't have enough shovels and picks, but with so many people rushing to work day and night, the ditch for water diversion was dug within a few days.

To say that the ditch was dug so quickly, in addition to the large number of people, Liu Hong's invention also contributed a lot.Liu Hong has built such a large farm, and he can make steel himself, so how could he not improve his tools.So once the steel was smelted, Liu Hong asked the craftsmen to make many tools, such as shovels, picks, Quyuan pears, columbine carts, hand windmills, etc., as long as he knew the agricultural tools and tools, all were made. .With the addition of cement and gunpowder quarrying, the progress will not be fast.

After digging the ditches and setting up the water truck, Liu Hong immediately sent back the villagers who helped.The rest of the project definitely cannot be completed in a short time, even if there is gunpowder to open mountains and quarry rocks, it is impossible to speed up the progress with cement.Although with the help of the villagers, the progress can be somewhat accelerated, but for Liu Hong's dedication, this progress is not proportional at all.

Although there are many people, the power is great, but the more people eat the more!

People help, although there is no wages, but you can't ignore the food and order people around for nothing, Liu Hong can't do it.But right now, when food prices are high and food prices are high, the meals for thousands of villagers are definitely not a small sum.

Regardless of the fact that the Hou Mansion's economic situation has improved now, it cannot stand up to the recent continuous big moves of the Hou Mansion.In addition, thousands of refugees were recruited, so that the Hou Mansion did not have much food left over. If it took a long time to feed thousands of villagers, the Hou Mansion would definitely not be able to hold on.

The villagers all went back, and Liu Hong stood by the side of the ditch, looking at the wide ditch.The canal is two or three meters wide, and the bottom and sides are made of stones and cement. It is not only very beautiful, but also strong enough.

Because Liu Hong knows that in the next few decades, floods, droughts, and locust plagues will occur frequently throughout Dahan.So Liu Hong directly built a high-standard ditch in order to fundamentally solve the problem.It's all right now, the problem seems to be solved, but Liu Hong still feels pain when he thinks about the cost.

"Damn, never be a good person again! No matter when, a good person will always be hurt!"

This can't be blamed on Liu Hong's emotion, although looking at the days of the Hou Mansion are still the same as before, how to live, or how to live.However, more than half of the family property accumulated by the Hou Mansion during this period of time was lost in one fell swoop.This means that the Hou Mansion is no longer what it used to be, so it didn't hurt the Hou Mansion. If it was put in the past, such a big expense would definitely make Liu Hong vomit blood.

The money has already been spent, so Liu Hong doesn't care about it anymore. Seeing that all the projects are proceeding in an orderly manner, Liu Hong is quite happy.

Liu Hong can't always stare at such a big project, after all, his purpose is to have fun, not to make mistakes on the construction site.After some consideration, I still handed over all these matters to the housekeeper.

Originally, Liu Hong saw that the housekeeper was so busy, so he wanted Liu Fu to be in charge, so that the housekeeper would be less concerned, and by the way, he would train Liu Fu so that he could take over the housekeeping duties in the future.

But this guy Liu Fu has no interest in this at all. He spends all day with the army, saying that he will be a general who will expand the territory in the future.After Liu Hong and the butler's persuasion failed, he had no choice but to let him go, and Liu Hong even handed over the guards to him.

After finishing the chores, Liu Hong thought he could relax, but he suddenly realized that he didn't have an intelligence network yet.For such an important thing, Liu Hong can't rest assured that others can make it, so he can only do it by himself.

As a time traveler, Liu Hong is well aware of the role of intelligence.And now is also a good time, he can take advantage of the opportunity of the large expansion of the restaurants and brothels in the Hou Mansion, so as to establish the framework of the intelligence system, and the details will be slowly built in the future.

The stir-fried dishes and noodles invented by Liu Hong have now become popular in the whole Han Dynasty.In the beginning, the housekeeper only opened one in Luoyang, the eastern capital, to see how it would work.Unexpectedly, as soon as the restaurant opened, it became popular immediately. There were people waiting in line to eat all day long, and even the butler opened several restaurants in Luoyang, but they did not solve the problem of overcrowding.

The restaurant is so popular, the housekeeper intends to promote it to the whole country.Years ago, the butler had trained enough chefs, and he wanted to make a fortune in Dahan after the new year.

Liu Hong's condiments are the key to the restaurant's attractiveness. As long as this stuff doesn't leak out, even if someone poachs the chef, he won't be able to produce delicious meals.So even if you open a store on a large scale, you are not afraid of others learning it.

<Hospital branch.I didn't expect the effect to be quite good. Although it didn't attract any big shots, the students of Tai Academy have already become famous in Liyuan, and gradually became famous.

The brothels are all open, and Liu Hong doesn't care about building a casino.Anyway, he knows that there are so many gambling tools in later generations, it is absolutely impossible to lose money by opening a casino.

With restaurants, brothels, and casinos, the main framework of the intelligence network has been set up, and the difficulty now is how to gather intelligence from various places as soon as possible.
