Among the major islands in South China, Java has the most fertile land due to volcanic ash and has the most developed agriculture. The Jinshan province (Kalimantan) has gold and tin, while Sumatra is rich in oil and gas resources (palm oil and oil). Luzon has developed planting industry and a lot of gold and silver. The spice archipelago has spices, and Pabuhua has minerals and plantation economy.

The islands are led by Java, and the number of people is the largest. However, as Java Island develops, the population is increasing, and the local area is becoming more and more cramped. The problem is that it is increasing.

Compared with the islands, Java Island is not particularly good. If you can establish a capital of Tu'ao, you can establish an imperial capital for all generations!

With the emperor's words, everyone completely understood that no one dared to neglect it. Shi Kecheng and Qi Bansun completed the yamen setting up in just three days, prepared their office location and completed the relevant procedures, and then set off for Tu'ao for on-site investigation.

The military and political operations of South China are the top priority for intelligence. Without intelligence, there is no right to speak. Only after on-site exploration and obtaining first-hand information can we advance to the next step.

Action is also a feature of Nanhua. Without performance, you will leave quietly and rush to Tujia.

On the steamer heading to Tuo O, Shi Kecheng said to Qi Bansun with emotion: "I read a lot of information and only then did I realize that Your Majesty is the most wise chess player!"

"How do you say this?" Qi Bansun asked intriguedly.

"As early as Tuyao was established, Your Majesty had strictly ordered not to over-exploitate and cannot use groundwater, so that the number of immigrants was not large-scale construction. Therefore, after we moved the mountain, the environmental changes would be minimal, and the impact would be minimal! Moreover, Your Majesty had instructed the climate more than ten years ago that the exploration department was stationed in Tuyao. The Duke of Yue (Chen Zhongji) wanted to cut funds from relevant departments of Tuyao that year but was not allowed. He always guaranteed the funds, so we have detailed information today!"

He checked the climate, geology, hydrology and other information in various places in Tu'ao, such as the annual precipitation in various places in the Great Dividing Sea, where the mountains are thickest, where the mountains are thinnest, where the soil is loose, where the places are full of rocks, where the heights are everywhere, etc. He found that the information was very rich and detailed, and after tracing the roots, he realized that the emperor had started to lay out Tu'ao a long time ago, which saved a lot of trouble.

You should know that isolated cases cannot be proven, and short-term data cannot be used as the basis for decision-making. Only long-term data can prove it powerful.

"It is a blessing for the country and a blessing for all people when meeting such a monarch!" Qi Bansun said with emotion.

"Do your work well!" The two ministers and engineering, army, finance, civil and other officials set the direction and rushed to the watershed. After landing, they refused the banquet from the local government and actively carried out their work.

Immediately explored on the spot, day and night, busy looking for the appropriate opening position, established a sand table, and repeatedly verified whether the deduction was feasible.

Very tired, very hard, fulfilling, and very happy!

Under the blue sky, cliffs, green spots, life is tenacious.

Looking at the sea, it is a blue sky.

Looking back at the mountains, right at your feet!

They have to rush on their way every day, conduct careful investigation, and eat military rations at noon.

Only when the setting sun is like blood, the mountains are silent, and you work hard for a day can you rest.

The watersheds are all mountains, there is no population or roads. I often have to climb mountains, so there is no way to talk about supply. I rely on my own, so the food will naturally not be much better.

Because I often eat dry food and meat, drink less water, and have no vegetables, fruits and vegetables, many people have sucked hard shit, and it is very painful to not pull it out. I even have to help each other and use my hands to pick it out. It feels very comfortable to pick it out!

Shi Kecheng never dreamed that he would fall to such a low and simple tent, which was a resting place for Nanhua officials. It was far away from the bustling city, far away from relatives, and only worked and lived in the wild. It was very boring and difficult. Sometimes it was impossible to take a bath for a week, and it was also difficult to drink water!

An official who had worked in the navy said: "When we were on the boat, we only had two cups of water to wash everyone's face and hands a day. The conditions here are worse than those on the boat!"

The conditions are so different, but everyone is in a hot mood and their work is in high spirits.

They encouraged each other, supported each other, and worked hard to complete the errands assigned by the emperor.

As they walked along the way, they all fell in love with donkeys because they walked along the mountains with supplies as if they were walking on flat ground. In some really difficult places, everyone just carried the donkeys on it. Even Shi Kecheng made a move, and he rode a small donkey himself.

He said proudly: "I learned to raise donkeys. After I have done this, after retirement, I will book a farm to raise donkeys, make donkey gelatin, and eat it by myself!"

Everyone laughed and were overjoyed!

Three months later, they came up with the first phase of the plan and returned to the Rising Sun City to report to the court.

On the boat back, Shi Kecheng's face turned dark like an old farmer, but he was relaxed. He said to Qi Bansun: "I figured out another thing."

"What's the matter? Mr. Cheng can teach me?" Qi Bansun asked.

"Why did Your Majesty last until today? The reason is it!" Shi Kecheng pointed to the chimney on the steamer.

"Oh?" Sun Jing, Qi Ban, listened to the following words.

"Only steam power can this major project be completed. If it is done by manpower alone, it will not be completed in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month!" The more Shi Kecheng goes into this business, the more he feels that the emperor is unfathomable. He said: "We used to go to Tuo O, and it took a long time to take a sailboat, and we had to see the monsoon sailing. Now, we can go wherever we want and go back whenever we want, which is really convenient!"

"Yes, yes!" Qi Bansun Shen agreed.

It was still in Jurentang, the emperor, the empress, the prince, the ministers and generals gathered together for a meeting to listen to Shi Kecheng's report.

He was refreshed and pointed and pointed at the map of Tuo O with his teaching stick, saying, "... After on-site investigation by Chen and others, he believed that the vents of the Great Dividing Sea were feasible and should be set here!"

The teaching point was pointed at the middle section of the Great Divide in the upper right corner of the map. Shi Kecheng said the truth: "I dared to call it Dongtianmen. It is about 218 kilometers wide from east to west. The soil is loose, there are few rocks, and the terrain is also low. The highest point is less than 800 meters. Many places are five or six hundred meters. If it is flat, the average height is only 511 meters. Standing on the top of the mountain at Dongtianmen, I just feel the cool breeze coming..."

"Shi Qing's family, since the terrain is low and the cool breeze blows, the water vapor should be able to pass. Why is it still dry on the west side of the Great Dividing?" the queen asked in a soft voice.

Shi Kecheng has become half a climate expert and immediately replied: "Reply to the Queen Mother, this is the 'dehydration' effect!"

He explained: "Although the mountain tops of the Great Dividing Mountain are not high, when these peaks are over, each mountain is like a dehydrator.

The airflow directly rushes across the mountain peaks and keeps dehydrating during the process of climbing the mountain. The remaining water vapor continues to remove again when passing through the next mountain range until it reaches the west side, it becomes very dry and no more water vapor can land."

"It seems that the Shiqing family is prepared, which makes me feel relieved!" The queen said happily.
Chapter completed!
