Chapter 445 New Qinzhong
"The Qin army took back the land in Henan and named it Xin Qinzhong. The Marquis of Wuwei will reclaim cultivated land in Xin Qinzhong and prepare for military farming. If the farmers in the world have the wish to promote agriculture, they can go to Shangjun County to carry out their own treatment. After the Shangjun County governors made an appointment, they personally recommend it to Wuwei."
When the Qin-Hungary War ended, the news spread back to Xianyang and to the Central Plains. At the same time, the news that Meng Tian invited the peasant children to go north to Xin Qinzhong spread rapidly throughout the country.
Dang County manages the county, fifty miles away from the county town, and in the southwest suburbs, dozens of families accumulate in front of a secluded valley.
After the demise of Wei, Qin established Dang County on the original land of Wei. The troops of Wei were mainly concentrated in Daliang City. The direction of the Qin army's attack was mainly the capital of Wei Daliang. The rest of Wei was not damaged much.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people often lived together in order to prevent thieves and facilitate rescue, and called it Li. This village in front of the valley was named Xu Shili.
Because the people in the Xu family, the surname Xu, account for the vast majority.
On this day, a young man came hurriedly on the path inside and outside the Xu family on a thin horse.
Instead of going to the owner's house, he ran directly to a thatched cottage near the wall in Xu's family.
"Sir, my disciple went to Sui and found a pleasant news?"
"Chen Xiang, how many times have I told you that you should be calm and calm. How can you do it like you?
The old man named Xu Xin, who was named Xu Xin, held a strange seed in his hand and looked at it carefully, without forgetting to teach his disciples a lesson.
"Sir, this is really good news!"
Chen Xiang sat down on his own, picked up the kettle on the table, drank a big sip of water to moisten his throat. Before Xu Xin could speak, he continued to speak: "Wuwei Hou was stationed in Xinqinzhong and recruited peasant disciples."
"New Qinzhong?"
"It's the land of Henan that the Qin army just took back."
"You said that Wuwei Hou recruited peasant disciples, what's going on?"
Xu Xin put away the seeds in her hand and became cautious. Over the years, the top leaders have recruited peasants, and this is the first time that the big girl has been in a sedan chair.
Since Mencius criticized Xu Xing, a pioneer of peasant families, among the hundreds of schools, farmers are not popular and no different from novelists.
"The Marquis of Wuwei asked for the peasant disciples in Xinqinzhong to invite the peasant family to go north to Xinqinzhong to help the Qin people carry out military farming. Mr., the new Qinzhong was occupied by the Huns before, but now he has just returned to Qin. The agricultural foundation is blank. When the peasant family goes to this time, they can let go of their hands and feet."
Chen Xiang became more and more excited as he talked, and he danced and wanted to leave immediately to Xinqinzhong.
"Chen Xiang, since Shang Yang's reform, Qin State has established a country with legalists. Legalists advocate the emphasis on agriculture. Logically speaking, we don't need to have a peasant family, but why did Wuwei Marquis recruit their peasant children?"
Xu Xin stroked her long beard and expressed her doubts.
"I don't know what Wuwei Hou was thinking. But I heard that Wuwei Hou had conducted an experiment in the new Qin Dynasty called the soil erosion experiment."
“Soil erosion?”
This is the first time Xu Xin has heard of this concept.
"Yes, soil erosion." Chen Xiang said in detail what he heard, "Wuwei chose a hillside, and all the grass on the north side of the hillside was removed, while the grass on the south side was retained. At this time, the same water was poured into both sides. The grass side was nothing unusual, but the bare side was covered with mud and sand.
Wuwei Houdao, Xinqinzhong is close to the river. In summer, it is rainy enough and farmland is adopted. If measures cannot be taken to prevent soil erosion, then the river will become the Yellow River after a hundred decades. The mud and sand flow into the river, and there is more sand than water. Guizhou in the lower reaches of the river will suffer much disaster!"
"The Marquis of Wuwei can be said to be kind and virtuous."
Xu Xin stopped stroking her beard's right hand, gently placed it on the desk in front of her, and supported her body to stand up.
"Chen Xiang, I'm going to pack up my things, but I decided to go north to Xin Qinzhong..."
In the Qin army camp in Hetao, Meng Tian held the outlined Great Wall design in his hand, and was full of ambition.
"Feng Wuze, this Great Wall construction design drawing is really well drawn.
With the existing staff, I don’t know how long it will take to be completed?”
"General, in the eyes of the general, Li Bi and others have to go out of the frontier to expel the Huns. Ganluo has taken away another group of people. The people who built the Great Wall are in severe shortage and cannot be completed without five years."
"It's been a bit long in five years."
Meng Tian frowned slightly.
"If you want to speed up the construction period, you have to recruit Guizhou from the mainland."
"Guizhou can be recruited, but we cannot rush to rush the construction period in an impatient way, especially to reduce the number of deaths."
In terms of Henan and Hetao, it is equivalent to the area of a Warring States Period. In such a large place, the Qin army soldiers and garrison soldiers were only 300,000, which is indeed a small number.
"The Huns captured by our army cannot support them for nothing, so I will give them to you. According to the customs of the Huns, these Huns are slaves of our army. Let them work hard and redeem themselves."
Meng Tian didn't care so much about the Huns.
Benevolence and other things can only be left to your own ethnic group.
"Secretary of the School of War, you were responsible for building weapons before, but now the war has come to an end, and you will temporarily turn the army into civilians and build production equipment for this general."
Meng Tian turned his head and his eyes fell on Sen.
Craftsman Sen followed Meng Tian for so many years to build chariots and crossbows and create catapults. He made great contributions and won the title of five major doctors. The craftsman of Qin State, Sen was still the first person to win such a high title over the years.
"What kind of equipment does the general want to build?"
Sen raised his head, under his rosy face, his eyes were filled with anticipation.
The crossbows and catapults in Meng Tian’s army have long range and easy assembly. Everyone thought that this was all Sen’s credit. Only Sen himself knew that these crossbows and catapults could be made, and Meng Tian’s ideas provided by him made great contributions.
Meng Tian now asks Sen to build the equipment for the Great Wall. Sen can meet them, and Meng Tian will come up with many applaudable ideas.
"It doesn't matter what kind of equipment is, the most important thing is to save manpower." Meng Tian took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and spread it on the table in front of him.
"You see this thing, called pulleys. After the production is completed, you can use very little effort to transport soil, stones, etc. to a high place, so that a lot of manpower can be saved."
"General, let me take a closer look."
Sen looked at the silk cloth on the table and rushed forward involuntarily, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the pattern on it carefully.
The round pulleys, long chains, and huge hooks. The drawings drawn by Meng Tian can see the principle at a glance in the eyes of Sen, who is studying the equipment.
