Below the dam is a reservoir, and a wide canal is connected to the west side of the reservoir. Pick up the telescope to see it. You can see other directions in the reservoir, and there are several gates. There should be other canals below.

There are obvious artificial traces on the water canal on the west. At first glance, it was artificially built.

The same is true of the reservoir. There are obvious traces of artificial construction on the edge, and the dam is also new. It should be accumulated from the soil dug out below.

"This reservoir should have it before?" Jin Feng speculated.

If this reservoir is dug out, the amount of engineering is too large, Wei Datong cannot complete it so quickly, and the dug out of the earth will not only be such a little.

"Sir, he was like a torch, and saw it at a glance!" Wei Datong took a horse fart, and then took out a hand -painted map to explain to Jin Feng:

"This reservoir used to be a lake before, the canal used to be a river, but some places were relatively narrow and shallow. I pushed the water in the upstream, and then repaired the river.

Connecting it, it becomes a dry canal.

On the reservoir, I also put the water dry, mobilized the people to repair it, increased the weaker dams before, and dig a few canals so that the water in the reservoir can flow along the two counties on the bottom.

With seven counties, the last few canals brought together the Tongjiang Reservoir in the south.

There are also several canals under the Tongjiang Reservoir, which can radiate three counties and eleven counties below, and finally remit from different places into the Yangtze River. "

"With these canals, hundreds of miles of farmland in Sichuan Shudong will benefit endlessly!" Jin Feng looked at the map and said with emotion.

"Not only farmland, but also transportation!" Wei Datong said: "If these canals were in the past, I did n’t have to go to Yuzhou in the eastern Sichuan area!"

After the establishment of the Iron and Steel Factory, Manchun was trying to build the first small steam engine production line. Although it has not been successful at present, it can be successful sooner or later.

After the production of small steam engines can be produced in batches, it can produce fastboats in batches.

For the speedboat, the canal is the highway.

Now that the speedboat has become the main transportation tool for distributing the Jinchuan Daily. They first loaded the boat at the Jinchuan Wharf, and then followed the Jialing River to go down, and follow the original river to go to all parts of Sichuan Shu.

It took me a few days to run for horses to run. It only takes half a day to use the speedboat to send the newspaper.

This is still most of the artificial canals that have not been completed. After these canals are through the water, the speedboat can quickly rush to the hinterland of Sichuan and Shu.

At that time, the control of Sichuan Shu will reach a new height.

This is another reason why Jin Feng attaches great importance to the water conservancy project.

Jin Feng looked at the wide reservoir in front of him, and patted Wei Datong's shoulder with emotion: "Hard work!"

It has been less than a year since the construction of Dujiangyan. In such a short period of time, Wei Datong was able to build so many reservoirs. Although most of them were transformed into the water canal that had some lakes and rivers in the past, it was still very difficult.

"I don't have to go down to lift the basket in person, there is any hard work, the real hard is the people."

Wei Datong said with emotion: "Mr. Mr. has been fighting in the north recently. It may be unknown. Many people know that the court wants to fight. There is no money to repair the reservoir and water canal.

"Is there still such a thing?" Jin Feng frowned slightly.

He really didn't know about this.

"Sir, haven't you discovered that since a few months ago, your Majesty's allocation for relief-for-work has been reduced by 20%?" Wei Datong asked.

"I know this," Jin Feng said, "Isn't this why Wuyang has stopped some work-for-relief projects?"

"Some official projects have been stopped, but the water conservancy project I am responsible for has not been stopped. Many people come to work for free during the slack period."

Wei Datong said with emotion: "My husband once said that the power of the masses is endless, and now I finally realize it! If it weren't for them, how could I, Wei Datong, have accomplished such a feat in less than a year?"

What a canal!”

After sighing with emotion, he did not forget to flatter him: "Of course, such a situation is possible only because Mr. and Your Majesty are considerate of the people. Now the people praise Mr. and Your Majesty as the most sage emperors and..."

Having said this, Wei Datong suddenly paused.

Because the people are talking about the emperor and the queen.

The Ninth Princess is the emperor, so it is self-evident who the queen is.

Nowadays, the story of Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess is almost well-known to every household. Many people talk about it after dinner and even joke that Jin Feng is the first male queen in history and the most powerful man in history.

Because Jin Feng was the first man to make the emperor a concubine!

Although Wei Datong knew that this was a joke of the common people, with Jin Feng's character, he would not necessarily be angry even if he knew it, but no matter how stupid he was, he would not say it in front of Jin Feng.n

So he quickly changed his words and said: "The people all praise Mr. and Your Majesty as the most sage emperors and state advisors throughout the ages!"

"They are also the best people in the world!" Jin Feng also sighed.

He initially implemented work-for-relief, just to pity the people of Sichuan and Sichuan and did not want them to starve to death in the cold disaster.

After the Ninth Princess implemented the New Deal last year, the taxes of the people of Sichuan and Sichuan were reduced by more than half, and there was no extortion by wealthy bandits, so their incomes were greatly increased.

Although we still can't say that we have enough food and clothing, people starve to death rarely happen anymore.

To put it bluntly, the food-for-work program is to give the people a bite to eat. Logically speaking, now that the people have food reserves, the number of people participating in the work-for-relief program will decrease a lot. But in fact, more and more people are participating in the work-for-relief program.

many.

Especially during the two months of slack farming after the autumn harvest last year, almost more than half of the people in Sichuan and Sichuan took the initiative to participate in various work-for-relief projects.

Many of them were just like Wei Datong said, they didn't ask for wages at all, they just came to take care of the food.

Some families with good conditions don't even eat, but bring their own dry food.

After Jin Feng finished sighing, he suddenly asked: "Chen Wenyuan's contribution is indispensable here, right?"

Although the people of Sichuan and Sichuan are simple and simple, who doesn't know how to enjoy happiness?

Even if you are really idle, you can just reclaim some wasteland yourself. It's better than working for the government for free, right?

So Jin Feng guessed that there must be other reasons for this.

To mobilize so many people, ordinary methods will definitely not work. The only thing that can be done is Jinchuan Daily.an5

Sure enough, Wei Datong nodded and said: "Editor Chen really contributed a lot to the current situation!"

"What did he say in the newspaper?" Jin Feng asked curiously.
