Chapter 895 The Real Purpose of Zhuping
Guan Tao's words made Tiezhen very happy. He had always been worried about whether the immigrants would be excluded by the locals. It seems that in the face of actual interests, they still chose to obey.
Who would go against interests? !
In fact, those families in Shanghe Village who did not accept the land reform of the Han tribe have begun to regret it now. Seeing that the sixty or seventy acres of land of others planted more food than their own hundreds of acres, and the growth was so gratifying, who would not envy them?
Even the various crop seeds that Tiezhen brought this time, they were doubtful whether the Han tribe would not give them, but when Tiezhen announced that every family would have one, they were relieved at this time.
Although Tiezhen made a bet with them to compete in corn production, it was only to let the local people understand the benefits of the Han tribe system, not to target them. The original purpose of the Han tribe was nothing more than to make them willing to abide by the land reform system. Since the local people are willing to accept the reform, there is no need to confront them anymore.
After understanding the situation, Tiezhen immediately decided, "Guan Tao, since everyone in your village is willing to accept the redistribution of land, I will ask someone to register the land and house books for the rest of you tomorrow. As for the grain this time, we will distribute it uniformly after all the registrations are completed."
"Okay, we have no problem. It's all up to the county governor." Guan Tao also happily agreed.
Shanghe Village was originally a very harmonious village, and it was also a relatively closed village. Originally, the more than 100 families were their own people. Now because of the Han tribe, especially the bet proposed by Tiezhen, the village has been vaguely divided into two factions, and they have begun to be hostile to each other.
Now the people on the other side are finally willing to bow their heads and admit their mistakes. This is a good thing. As an elder in the village, Guan Tao will not play any tricks to pretend to be awesome. At this time, it is a serious matter to repair the relationship and rifts between the villagers. After all, neighbors who are seen every day, are they really going to become enemies?
Tiezhen and the villagers agreed to re-measure and register the land, and then accompanied by Guan Tao, they went to inspect the farmland. They were relieved to learn that they were doing well under the leadership of Jing Chun.
Everyone began to unload the various building materials on the boat, first piled them on the high ground by the river, and then prepared to slowly move them to the village. As for whether someone would steal bricks?
That was impossible. Now all the living people in the entire Qiongzhou Island were under the rule of the Han tribe. Except for the villages in various places, there would be no one wandering around outside, so even if someone stole, it could only be the villagers themselves. But what was the use of them stealing bricks? Were they sure that others could not see it?
The next day, with the redistribution of the land in the village, Shanghe Village returned to a harmonious state again. Jing Chun began to teach the remaining villagers the skills of growing corn in a targeted manner, and the foreman and carpenter sent by Tiezhen also began to build houses.
Guan Tao took the villagers to help transport building materials and learn the techniques of building houses from the Han tribe. There were even some skilled people in the village who were cutting bamboo and weaving some daily necessities for the new immigrants.
There were many projects that needed to be built this time. First, there were resettlement houses for immigrants from various villages on Qiongzhou Island. Then, each village had to build a mill to grind wheat and corn for the villagers. There was also a tofu shop and an oil press, which were also used in the village.
There were no large settlements on Qiongzhou Island, and the people were very scattered. If they wanted to meet their living needs, they could only rely on this method.
Compared with the situation of the Han tribe, the economic system of places like Qiongzhou was a real small peasant economy. There was basically no need for commercial trade between villages, because they could all produce and use their own products, and at most they would exchange some things with each other in the village.
Finally, there was a school in each village. It didn't need to be too big. As long as there were two or three large houses, and a yard would be enough to meet the needs.
Anyway, the students are all children from the village. There are no more than 200 school-age children, divided into two or three classes. They don’t need accommodation, let alone a canteen. It’s only a few steps to go home after school.
As time goes on, the entire Qiongzhou Island has entered a period of rapid construction. The captives captured in the previous battle with the Xin tribe are currently assigned to various counties for construction, but this is not their final destination, because there are bigger projects waiting for them.
Jiahai County at the northwest end of Qiongzhou Island is one end of the dark bridge connected to the mainland. The current county governor of Jiahai County is Elder Zhu Pingzhu. Because he is just a mascot, Xue Qingyao did not let him be responsible for the government affairs of Jiahai County. Anyway, he doesn’t understand the system of the Han tribe. How can he be allowed to manage a county?
Tiezhen and Niuwei were different. Although Tiezhen was the Jin elder of the Xin tribe, he was originally from the Han tribe and was familiar with the affairs of the Han tribe. Although Niuwei was the Shang elder of the Xin tribe, he had been an envoy to the Han tribe and studied in Hanyang County. Later, during the Han-Xin War, he was taken away by Luo Chong to Xuefu County in Ruyang County to serve as the county magistrate of the Han tribe. This guy was very familiar with the government affairs of the Han tribe, so it was natural for him to be the county governor.
As for Zhuping, he did not understand the government affairs of the Han tribe, but he knew how to build houses! This was why Luo Chong asked him to be the nominal county governor of Jiahai County.
He didn't need to take care of the government affairs of Jiahai County, but there was a construction project that needed him, that is, the cross-sea bridge of Jiahai County.
At this time, Xue Qingyao sorted out the government affairs of Qiongzhou and handed them over to the county governors of the counties below, and arranged the eight departments of the governor's office to guide and supervise, and then he went to Jiahai County himself.
On this day, he and Zhuping were studying the construction plan of the cross-sea bridge on a boat. The cross-sea bridge project was originally proposed by Shouya to fool the Xin tribe. The Xin tribe did listen to it, but they were too weak and never really started.
Now this work has been left to the hands of the Han tribe. The Han tribe naturally wants to build it. They must open up the connection between Qiongzhou Island and the mainland.
Xue Qingyao stood by the boat, holding a letter from Luo Chong, and said, "The leader said that this bridge cannot be built into a sea-blocking dam. That is to say, we have to build a bridge, but we can't just fill it with stones and earth and raise it roughly to expose it to the sea as in the previous plan." "
Why? Isn't this the method proposed by the Han envoy before? Isn't this the simplest method?" Zhu Ping asked puzzledly. He was the one who worried the most about the cross-sea bridge project.
"The leader said that this would destroy the ecology and affect the communication of organisms on both ends of the strait. There must have been fish passing through here frequently in the past. If we directly block this place, who knows what will happen in the future?
Also, if we directly adopt the method of filling the sea to build a dam and bridge, will it affect the tide here? If this sea-blocking dam is built, will it affect the land on both sides of the strait? What if the tide rises and the seawater can't get out here, and directly floods Qiongzhou Island?" Xue Qingyao showed the letter from Luo Chong in front of Zhu Ping and said.
"Then, then, how to build it? Do we need to use boats to build a floating bridge?" Zhuping had never thought about this question before. He only thought about the technical aspects of bridge construction, but never considered the ecological impact.
Luo Chong was different. He came from a modern civilized society, and his vision and knowledge were much higher than those of the people here.
In modern infrastructure construction, geological and environmental considerations must be given priority. For example, in order to protect the grassland ecology of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the wild Tibetan antelopes and yaks living there, the country spent a lot of money on environmental protection when building the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
Some sections of the road could have been directly laid on the ground, which would have saved a lot of costs. However, in order to facilitate the migration of Tibetan antelopes and yaks, the country deliberately spent money to build more viaducts, allowing trains to pass on the bridges, so that Tibetan antelopes and yaks can migrate calmly under the bridges, thus avoiding affecting their lives.
The same is true for the cross-sea bridge of the Han tribe. It cannot affect the passage of fish in the strait, nor can it cut off the sea water and affect the tides, thus avoiding unpredictable consequences.
Therefore, Luo Chong specially wrote this opinion letter to Xue Qingyao on the construction of a cross-sea bridge connecting Qiongzhou Island to the grassland.
This document first proposed considerations on ecological protection and geographical and hydrological environment, and finally decided to change the original construction plan of the sea-blocking dam to a continuous arch bridge, and deliberately raised the quality standards of the cross-sea bridge, because the original plan was to pass people and carriages, but now the goal has become the passage of heavy-loaded trains, and the construction standards are naturally different.
It also mentioned the political relationship between Qiongzhou Island and the entire Han tribe in the future, as well as the development direction. The most important part is that Luo Chong plans to use the railway from east to west to run through the entire Qiongzhou Island, and then connect to the grassland through the cross-sea bridge at the west end of Qiongzhou Island, and then turn east from the grassland through the coastal area on the south bank of Honghu Lake, and finally connect to the future capital, and gather this cross-sea railway into the transportation network of the entire Han tribe.
With the existence of this cross-sea bridge and cross-sea railway, no matter how the political situation of Qiongzhou Island changes in the future, it will never be out of the control of the mainland. Luo Chong will never let the place he has finally conquered split away again.
Even if the Han Empire falls and the world changes dynasties in the future, Qiongzhou Island will never think of independence.
Of course, this is just a saying. With the current level of technological civilization of the Han tribe, there is basically no danger to the outside world. Unless there is an internal split, this will never happen.
"The leader said that we should first erect the bridge piers like high buildings, and then build arches on the piers, and then add small arches on the arches, and finally lay the bridge deck." Xue Qingyao took out a structural sketch from the file and introduced it to Zhuping.
