"As far as I can tell you sir, two main canals have been completed."
Wei Datong replied: "The other several items are also at the end of the term and can be completed within two months."
"Put the long-term projects near the main canal on hold for a while, move people to the main canal nearby, and concentrate our efforts to ensure the construction progress of the main canal first, and strive to get the main canal open to water before the flood arrives."
Jin Feng expressed his decision: "I will write to Chen Wenyuan later and ask him to publish a few more reports in Jinchuan Daily, try to mobilize as many people as possible, and if possible, strive to take over the branch canals that are about to be completed.
Pass!"
In the previous life, Li Bing and his son spent more than ten years building canals in their later years.
However, the number of people they could mobilize at that time was limited, and their tools were also very backward.
Because of the fight against local tyrants to divide their land, Jin Feng's control over Sichuan and Sichuan has basically been completed. Coupled with the propaganda of Jinchuan Daily, Jin Feng's influence among the people is stronger than that of Li Bing and his son.
We are still in the slack period of farming. If Jin Feng stood up and called for help, many people would respond.
With more people and greater strength, even if there are no modern heavy machinery, as long as enough people participate, it is not impossible to complete the remaining main canals before the flood season arrives.
Wei Datong had actually thought of this method a long time ago, but he knew that Sichuan and Shu were in financial difficulties recently. Although he knew that Zhang Liang and Qinghuai had seized granaries in the south of the Yangtze River, a huge amount of money and grain had been spent on building water conservancy projects. Wei Datong really couldn't do it.
He opened his mouth and asked Jin Feng for more.
In the end, who knew that Jin Feng took the initiative to bring up the matter again.
Wei Datong was both excited and a little embarrassed: "Sir, it would be better if more people could be mobilized, but we don't have enough money and food..."
"Don't worry about money and food, they will be delivered soon." Jin Feng said confidently.
After Zhang Liang and Qinghuai seized the granary in Jiangnan, Zhenyuan No. 2 continued to pull grain back from Jiangnan day and night.
However, the Zhenyuan No. 2 is too big to enter the canal, so the grain can only be unloaded at the dock on the Jialing River, and then transported to the hinterland by speedboats and horse-drawn carriages.
Jin Feng specially sent someone to ask before he came. In the next few days, the food can be delivered to Xichuan...
"It will be easier if you have money and food!"
When Wei Datong heard that the money and food problem had been solved, he breathed a long sigh of relief and then asked:
"The weather in spring is relatively mild, and the changes are generally not too drastic. At present, I only open one main canal to complete the flood discharge. If the water level of the Jinma River rises to near the warning line, I will open the gate of another main canal.
There are two main canals to discharge floods, and it can also buy some time for the construction of other canals. What do you think, sir?"
"There is nothing wrong with the idea, but the weather in recent years is different from before, so we cannot fully refer to historical experience." Jin Feng reminded.
The main feature of the Little Ice Age is that in addition to the overall downward trend in temperature, another obvious feature is the increase in extreme weather.
What's more, even if it wasn't the Little Ice Age, Jin Feng also experienced drastic weather changes in spring in his previous life.
He was clearly wearing short-sleeves yesterday and it was extremely hot. The temperature suddenly dropped sharply the next day. He didn't pay attention. He wore a coat and wandered outside for a long time. That afternoon, he caught a cold and had a fever of forty degrees.
Thinking of this, Jin Feng quickly reminded: "Although the weather is getting warmer now, it is important to be careful of the wind and cold when letting people work. It is also important to have hot soup to dispel the cold at the construction site at all times."
Although Jin Feng has been vigorously supporting medical development, medical development takes time, and Wei Wuya's main focus has turned to cultivating improved seeds, and Zhou Jin's focus is also on military medicine. When ordinary people get sick, they basically have to rely on
Carry it yourself.
In this era, people's health is generally weak, and colds are a disaster for many people.
Although the living conditions of the people in Sichuan and Sichuan are much better than before, they can only barely eat enough. They are still far from eating well, and their body resistance is not very good.
"I remember." Wei Datong nodded.
Next, Jin Feng, accompanied by Wei Datong, visited the entire Dujiangyan.
Wei Datong's execution ability is very strong, and the entire project is basically completed according to Jin Feng's design. The recent flood season is also a test for Dujiangyan.
Judging from the current feedback results, Jin Feng is quite satisfied.
Now only one main canal is opened, which can handle the minor flood season. Once all the main canals and branch canals are completed, there is basically no need to worry.
Jin Feng attaches great importance to Dujiangyan. His visit was not just a quick tour, but a real inspection of every key location.
The normal visit lasted until the evening, and we did not go back for lunch. Instead, we sent someone to deliver the meals to the embankment, and a group of people ate on the embankment.
When he returned to the inn, Tang Xiaobei took off his shoes and threw himself on the bed, not even wanting to move.
Although she has been running around a lot recently, she usually takes a carriage instead of walking.
She was exhausted from walking so much all at once today.
"You must be exhausted. I told you not to go, so you have to follow me."
Jin Feng smiled and sat aside, rubbing Tang Xiaobei's calves.
"The Dujiangyan Irrigation System in Wei Datong is a hole that cannot be filled. At least 30% of the money I worked hard to earn went to him. Of course I have to go and see what he did with so much money.
!”
Tang Xiaobei said angrily.
Because of the policy of light corvee and low taxation, the main source of income for the Sichuan and Shu regimes was, first, the money and grain seized from the landlords' homes by dividing the land among local tyrants, and second, the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, Jinchuan Inn and Jinchuan Bank under Tang Xiaobei's command.
Including those factories in Jinchuan, most of the products produced must be distributed through chambers of commerce and supply and marketing cooperatives. Tang Xiaobei needs to make unified deployment according to the different conditions of each place.
Therefore, those factories are basically under the jurisdiction of Tang Xiaobei.
Tang Xiaobei can be said to be the financial manager of Sichuan and Shu.
The Dujiangyan project indeed cost a huge amount of money, so it was normal for Tang Xiaobei to be dissatisfied.
It is normal for a Sichuan and Shu woman to call herself "I", but Jin Feng's status in the family is too high. Guan Xiaorourun's mother wanted to give him up and she would not call herself "I" in front of Jin Feng.
Bei Qianxun is not very afraid of Jin Feng, but she is from the Central Plains and is not used to calling herself Lao Tzu.
That is, Tang Xiaobei, who occasionally shouted "I" in front of Jin Feng, which made Jin Feng find it quite interesting. He couldn't help but think of the joke in his previous life, and he also wanted to play around, and suddenly said: "Tang Xiaobei, Lao
