12. Decisive to open the mountain and river weir
"My grandma, you seem to have lost weight after you came to Xingyuan Mansion." The next day, Yun Shao and Yun He were fiddling with the garden in the narrow alley, Yun Shao asked with concern.
Yunhe smiled and shook her head, saying that maybe she was a little unacceptable. Then she stared at her sister with some curiosity.
"What's the matter?"
"No, nothing." Yunhe came with some thoughts and lowered his head.
Then she pointed her jade-white fingers on the seedling leaves in the nursery until a buzzing ladybug flew up.
On the flower porch there, Zhihui, who was passing by with a food plate, slowed down. Yunhe, who was still unaware of it, stopped for a moment.
Half a month later, at the Shanhewei north of Xingyuan Prefecture, many white grass soldiers stood in the center holding various straight or crank iron pots on the heightened dam, and first dug a small gap.
The sound of water suddenly roared, and the uncontrollable Baoshui carried the black mud and splashed out frantically along the gap, spraying like a water dragon to the opposite side of the embankment. Then the white grass soldiers shouted in groups, reminding each other, scattering to give in to both sides. Every time they retreated, a gap was dug out, and another water dragon was sprayed out.
Soon, water dragons shot out from all sections of Shanhewei, and gradually the body of the dam was wailing with broken and leaking.
Gao Yue, Liu Deshi, Jie Shanji, Mingxuan and others, who were standing on Chi Cliff, clearly saw that more and more small streams of water splashed out from all over the Shanhewei, cutting square pieces of soil sharply and rolling down.
Finally, the thunderous sound of thunder exploded, and more than a dozen small gaps were washed into a large gap. The turbid Baoshui roared and passed through the mountain river and dams. It soon spread along the Chi Cliff to the northwest of Xingyuan Prefecture. The originally slightly white land was soaked into an endless country of maria. The color was red and yellow, slightly black.
"Next year, we will mix rice and wheat here." Gao Yue pointed to this land and said.
This is an almost unsolicited industry - because Chiya Pass in Baocheng is a piece of braised land, the land price is about zero, and no households are working here - so Gao Yue allocated 70% of his land to Baicao Junmen and Zhou Bingjunmen, and the remaining 20% were divided into "school fields" and "job fields" (the crop harvest was used to set up schools and provide additional food for officials), and 10% was added. Gao Yue encouraged his confidants, including his own family, to occupy it.
In order to obtain labor, Gao Yue simply changed all the united children in the state to field soldiers. The food, vegetables, sauces and medicine they received from their service were supplied as usual, and they still had a wealth of rice in the military farm. Of course, the family of Baicaojun was also the main force in the field.
After the Shanheyan broke the dike, the shipyard in Xingyuanfucheng was also close to completion. Gao Yue's "volunteer" recruited from Shu before, that is, hundreds of "shipmen" selected from the lower third-class poor households, have begun to accept the timber carried on small boats traveling along the Han River from Yangzhou and started to build ships.
This ship is called the "Zhijiang Ship", with a load of about 500 hu (about 22 tons now). The ship's shape drawings are provided by Liu Yan, and the instructor is also under Liu Yan's old command. In the past, Liu Yan was fully responsible for the transportation of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Huai River, and could recruit many skilled craftsmen.
In addition, the shipmakers he brought from Shu by Gao Yue was not low (during the Tang and Song dynasties, Fengxiang and Shu were both famous inland shipbuilding bases in the country), so the entire work process went very smoothly.
On the newly completed Tianhan Tower, facing the cool wind in late summer, Gao Yue stood on the high ground, looking at the sparkling Han River. There were ships of sails standing on the pier in the south of the city. Many small merchants from Yangzhou and Jinzhou had already begun to rush to Xingyuan Mansion for lively short-term trade. Here you can buy salt from Dongchuan, local rice, tea and brocade from Shu. Of course, Sanchuan Xingying and Puwang's mansion, migrating to Xingyuan Mansion also brought great vitality and consumption power to the city.
While the Xia water had not yet fallen back, the four thousand-hu boats of Han Huan also followed the city of Xingyuan Mansion. Eighty-wide bamboo sails were spread on their towering masts, and ten red soft sails on the top of the masts were floating and rotating, and arrived at the dock in the south of the city with people's cheers. The momentum of this large ship shocked and excited all the people of Xingyuan Mansion.
"It's great for the soldiers to see such a big ship. What does it mean? It represents wealth. After the stone beach in Yunxiang is resolved, ships from Xiangyang City, Ezhou City, Jiangling Prefecture, Hongzhou and Tanzhou can carry all kinds of goods to trade with our Xingyuan Prefecture. One day, Xingyuan Prefecture will also build a thousand-hu boat the size of the Xuanzhou shipyard!" Gao Yue on the Tianhan Tower was full of hesitation.
Soon, the large-scale equipment from Chenggu that had been transported to the four thousand-hu boats.
Gao Yue asked Han Huan to ask the 200 Xuanrun crossbowmen to take the passengers to escort the four ships, and then he and Li Jie, Wei Ping, Guo Zaizhen, Gao Gu, Mingxuan, and 200 craftsmen to "go to Yunxiang immediately without delay."
When he set out, Gao Yue stood at the bow of the ship, and could clearly see the people who came to see him off on the walls of Xingyuan Prefecture and the Han River, as well as the umbrella cover of the King of Pu. Previously, the news that Gao Yue had made Sun Tongxuan prosperous within a month had spread throughout the palace. Now he heard that this young Yin was going to Yunxiang, Junzhou again to fight with Shitan.
"Shaoyin is going to subdue the god of the beach."
"Awesome, I don't know how many ships have overturned the stone beach in ancient times!"
"I don't know if the second-leader Young Yin can have good luck this time."
People talked and talked a lot.
"Songqing, Songqing, be careful when you go here!" His wife Yun Shao was standing on the pavilion of Tianhan Tower with his sister Yunhe, waving the brocade handkerchief in her hand, reluctant to leave.
"Brother-in-law, I want to return safely!" Yunhe was wearing pink clothes and was also silently praying for Gao Yue.
"Don't worry, A Ni, Wei Tuotian and Zhihui are all beside me." As the waves rose up with the rumbling of the wind, Gao Yue also waved his hand to his wife and sister.
"Vomit..." At this time, a gust of wind brought the smell of paint on the wooden beams of Tianhan Tower, and blew into Yun Shao's nose. She couldn't help but feel dizzy and nauseous.
"Sister, are you okay?" Yunhe hurriedly supported her.
"It's okay, it's okay, it seems." Yun Shao felt his heart was moving, so he showed joy on his face and said to Amei, "My mother, I'm so effective. I feel I'm pregnant again."
After saying that, Yun Shao felt embarrassed, she was afraid that Yunhe would ask about it.
But under the sunset beside the Han River, Yunhe's face turned even red.
That night, she was in the small side hall of the central hall, and she could hear clearly what her brother-in-law Li Tian sowed. Of course, she knew how her sister got pregnant.
After seeing Gao Yue away, Yun Shao's reaction became more and more intense in the next few days. She remembered that when she was a child, she felt nauseous and dry retching a month later, but this time her little life was very naughty.
