Chapter 528 Long live the big man
The escaped refugees were summoned one after another, first asking about their interests and abilities, and conducting preliminary screening.
After the screening is completed, the officials dispersed the refugees and did not allow the refugees from the same hometown to gather together, at least not to gather in large quantities. Then they were grouped and gave them the power to select the chief and the chief of the chief.
The refugees did not expect that they had just arrived and were already qualified to be an official. In particular, the officials promised that the security chief who performed well might be selected to be a local government and serve as a clerk.
Men and women are managed separately, and the discipline formed is responsible for supervision. Of course, there will be one to two hours of free activities at night. If a couple wants to get together, they can't stop them.
However, all the children stayed in Jinyang and were specially placed in the orphanage to take care of them. At the same time, they were sent to enlighten them.
By doing this, the refugees saw that the court did fulfill its promise, so they were allowed to go to work.
Listening to the sound of the children reading aloud, these refugees had no worries and moved forward according to the arrangements of the officials.
"So... everything has been successfully rolled out at present. With the investment of 300,000 young and strong people, it is expected that the railway from Yunzhong to Jinyang can be completed within one to two years." Xun Yuhui reported.
"How about railway surveying and mapping and land expropriation?" Liu Tao must ask, after all, this is the main problem that hinders railway construction in later generations.
"The main mountains have been avoided, and there are some problems with land acquisition, but it is not serious. Local people are very cooperative. The biggest problem is that they are worried that officials will privately seize more land." Xun Yu replied.
When Liu Tao heard this, he suddenly realized that there is a world of cooking systems, feudal era, especially in this era. What is the result of not accepting land acquisition? Those who are a little smart about it are clear.
Compared with the issue of land acquisition, local officials use the excuse of building railways and expropriating too much land, which is the primary issue.
Bingzhou is actually mountainous. The railway currently in nature starts from Yunzhong, goes to Dingxiang County to Mayi, passes Loufan County and enters the vicinity of Guangwu County, and then goes south and arrives at Jinyang through Dingxiang County.
It avoids the environment where mountains are relatively high and terrain is relatively complex, and the length is conservatively estimated to be more than 700 miles.
At the same time, I have a big question, which is how to pass through when I reach the south from the clouds and reach the vicinity of the Great Wall. If the Great Wall is dug, a gap will be left, which will bring convenience to the Hu people's invasion.
Not to mention that if the Hu people went south and occupied the railway, they could quickly transport the soldiers to Jinyang through the railway.
Therefore, the railway designed by the officials was only from Jinyang to Guangwu County (Dai County); another section of railway was set up in Yunzhong, only from Luo County; finally, from Yanmen County, that is, Wuzhou County in the Great Wall to Loufan County, a section was set up.
The railways in the three places are finally assisted in transportation through the galloping road and horses, so there is no need to demolish the Great Wall.
Some officials even don’t understand why they have to build a railway to Yunzhong, isn’t it good to have a railway from Jinyang to Pingyang, or Shangdang?!
A few people know that Liu Tao has been greedy for Baiyun Iron Mine for a long time and built this railway so that after the battle, he could transport soldiers and supplies continuously through the railway.
At the same time, after the Baiyun Iron Ore is drawn, it can be roughly processed in the clouds. The processed iron ingots will be continuously transported to Jinyang by railway.
From a long-term strategic perspective, this railway is very valuable. Moreover, as long as conditions allow, the railway leading to Pingyang, Shangdang and even Hanoi will definitely be built.
The construction of the railway this time was mainly to accumulate experience. Even though Liu Tao mentioned all the basic elements and key points of railway construction, for craftsmen and officials, railways are too unfamiliar.
Perhaps in the pre-Qin period, some craftsmen would know, but in the 400th year of the Han Dynasty, the railway was not paved, and the original railway was demolished by the people for their own use. There were no craftsmen who knew how the railway was paved.
It can be said that even the anticorrosion paint used for railways needs to be explored. When can the anticorrosion paint be used now and how long it will not be worn off by the wheels, it all needs to be tested.
It is said that it will take one or two years to test and the experiment can only be completed before the laying will begin.
However, Liu Tao is not equal, so he can only construct early and study while laying...
"Are there any decisions in the issue of the Great Wall?" Liu Tao asked, which was also a question he had been discussing for a while.
"There is already a plan!" Su Shuang left the line. After all, as a doctor in the Ministry of Works, this matter was under his charge. "Doctors of craftsmen from the Ministry of Works finally planned to set up several passes where the railway was passed, specifically for connecting the railway.
At the same time, the railways on both sides of the pass can be made into a type of suspension bridge that can be raised. As long as the warning is found, the railways on both sides will be raised immediately, then the door will be closed until the warning is lifted, and then the door will be closed and the railway will be put down."
This is very troublesome and it is not convenient to demolish it directly, but the Great Wall does give many people a sense of safety, even Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and even Shuofang are all the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Everyone is not afraid of the Hu people, but they have to protect the Great Wall to be at ease. The great man was not afraid of the Hu people, but he always had to be on guard. The Hu people suddenly penetrated through the Great Wall and attacked the hinterland.
There are not many defenders here. When the soldiers pass by, the Hu people have already left, so it is not worth it.
"I really want to say that our great man's territory is destined to continue to expand with our iron hooves and strong crossbows. You have also seen the warm kang, and at the same time, coal has gradually started to be put into use, and winter is no longer invincible. Winter wheat has proved that even when we reach a colder place, we can still grow crops and survive.
The desolation north of Yinshan Mountain can no longer stop our progress!" Liu Tao stood up and looked at everyone.
Yes, this is a policy that Liu Tao ascended the throne, or promoted before. Facts have proved that the people in the clouds are living a good life now, especially those refugees in the Taihang Mountains, and there is no discomfort.
Continue to go north, even the grassland north of Yinshan cannot stop their expansion. As long as they are willing, they can advance to places where winter wheat cannot be planted.
In fact, if there are potatoes, you can even continue to go north. If there are glass, you can even make it into a special greenhouse for cultivation. The development of technology allows people to overcome a more cruel environment!
"The Four Barbarians are destined to tremble under our blade. Our soldiers who are fearless and sufficient logistics supplies are the real Great Wall of the Han Dynasty!" Liu Tao said, "The Great Wall that can move and constantly expand outside!"
"Long live the great man!" Liu Yuanqi took the lead and shouted, Liu Tao's words made his blood boil.
"Long live the great man! Long live Your Majesty!" More ministers shouted out, and some people even saw the hope of the Yan Han Sanxing.
