The time came in a blink of an eye, February 14th, the fourth year of Zhenguan.
This day is Li Chengqian's birthday, and it is also the day he chose to set out.
Because Qianzi Battalion headed to the Hetao area under the leadership of Cheng Hualiang two days ago.
Therefore, the only people following Li Chengqian on the journey this time were the maid Wuyou and Changsun Chong who had just participated in the Qiu Wei.
At noon, the green carriage they were riding in also slowly drove out of Chang'an City, heading north.
Until the shadow of the carriage disappeared.
Li Shimin, who stood at the top of Chang'an City, did not look back.
Changsun Wuji brought a fur cloak and put it on him.
"Your Majesty, the cold air of late spring is the most harmful to people. You should take care of yourself."
"Um……"
Li Shimin looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared and said, "This guy used to say hello to me when he left Chang'an."
"But this time, this guy didn't even say hello. He really needs to be dealt with."
tidy?
I'm afraid that your Majesty, you simply can't bear to part with me now.
Changsun Wuji chuckled: "When His Highness comes back, Your Majesty will have time to deal with him."
"But thinking about it, His Majesty may not be able to bear it anymore. It won't be long before he goes to Mobei Road to see him."
Hearing this, Li Shimin deliberately made a serious face and said: "Why are you looking at him? Let him make me angry again?"
"I don't have the good temper to deal with him. It's better if he leaves, so that no one will make me angry again."
Sure enough, Li Shimin is still Li Shimin.
Still so obsessed with saving face.
Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly and looked at Cheng Yaojin beside him and smiled.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast, and in just a blink of an eye, the children have all grown up."
"The mischievous looks of these three guys are still in front of us."
"Who says it isn't?"
Cheng Yaojin sighed softly and said, "Old Cheng, when I beat my son, it seems like it happened yesterday."
"But if you think about it carefully, that was a few years ago." The three of them looked at each other, and then they all looked up and smiled.
Whether it was the three gangsters in the early Tang Dynasty or the Iron Triangle in the early Tang Dynasty, they all seemed to have aged in the blink of an eye.
Among the three, Cheng Yaojin, the oldest, even has a little white cloud in his beard.
The youngest Li Shimin also has wrinkles at the corners of his eyes due to years of fatigue.
Until the three people's backs gradually disappeared from people's eyes.
The meaning of desolation arises spontaneously.
…
The book is brief.
In late February, Li Chengqian arrived in the Hetao area.
When he arrived here, Liu Min had already arranged everything he told him.
At Li Chengqian's request, Liu Min hired a total of one thousand workers.
Among them, 300 are from the Tang Dynasty, and the remaining 700 are all composed of the old Turkic people, also known as the "New Tang Dynasty people".
Li Chengqian's purpose for doing this is the same.
It is nothing more than trying to integrate NTDTV into the Tang Dynasty community as much as possible.
Looking at the more than a thousand people in front of me.
Li Chengqian stepped onto the wooden platform and said loudly: "From today on, we will all spend a year or even several years together."
"I have no other pursuits than fairness and justice."
"Whether it's Tang Dynasty or New Tang Dynasty, I won't favor anyone, let alone treat anyone poorly. It's the same for everyone."
"Before we start working, there are a few rules that I must explain to everyone in advance."
"First of all, there is the issue of everyone's wages. I believe Mr. Liu has told everyone before that the way I pay wages is different from others."
"If you plow an acre of land and pass the inspection, you can receive thirty copper plates."
"If you build a ditch ten paces long and pass the inspection, you can still receive thirty copper plates."
"I don't care how many ditches you built today or how much plowing you did today."
"I will only pay you according to your actual work quota.
"
"Here at my place, those who are capable work harder, and those who are capable earn more. If you have the ability to finish all the work in one day, I can afford to pay you."
"Of course, it must be according to my standards."
"And after the field construction is completed, I will assign jobs according to the amount of labor earned by everyone."
"If you perform extremely well, then when I assign you a job, I may put you in a position where the workload is light and you earn more."
"If your performance is extremely poor, then I'm sorry, I can only give you a grassroots job."
"If you're not satisfied, you can just leave. I won't stop you."
Li Chengqian looked at the crowd and said, "Do you have any opinions?"
"No!"
Everyone said in unison... .??.
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "The next is the second one. During the labor period, you are not allowed to fight, form parties, or bully others."
"If anyone dares to cause trouble in front of me, whether it is the attacker or the person being beaten, both should leave. Do you have any objections?"
Li Chengqian gave full play to his advantages from the 21st century.
All the principles for managing a company have been copied to this era.
Perhaps, in that extremely enlightened era, some people would complain that such a standard was unfair.
But those who are capable work harder, and those who are strong are better and those who are mediocre are inferior. This is always an eternal truth.
Following Li Chengqian's order.
Thousands of workers went to Yingkou opened by Qianzi Camp to receive work tools.
Then under Li Chengqian's arrangement, he started doing things in an orderly manner.
He divided the thousand people into three batches.
The first group of people went to build large ditches to introduce water from the Yellow River.
The second group of people went to build paddy fields for growing rice and wheat.
The third group of people went to plow the land to build dry fields.
Looking at the little bits of reclaimed land, a smile gradually appeared on Li Chengqian's face.
The happy time of being a kid in the farmhouse, just It’s about to begin…
…
Laborers do things.
It is impossible for Li Chengqian to be idle.
After all the projects were carried out smoothly, he returned to the temporary camp and began to draw drawings.
He planned to open dozens of canals for irrigation in this vast farmland.
Aqueducts seem simple, but are actually very complex.
If designed well, water can flow through large ditches that introduce water from the Yellow River and enter every ditch for farmland irrigation.
Furthermore, traditional farmland irrigation canals are less intelligent and require manual pumping and discharge of water.
Therefore, it is particularly important to seek a highly intelligent farmland irrigation canal that can automatically drain and inlet water.
In this era without machinery or any industry, it is very difficult to find an automated drainage and water filling method.
But this does not trouble Li Chengqian, a man from science and engineering.
His idea was simple, that is, to build a simple machine that could automatically pump water and stand at the entrance of the main canal and branch canal.
In this way, water can be continuously sent into the branch canals to irrigate farmland.
In the early days, people almost always used water trucks to irrigate their farmland.
The waterwheel existed as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty.
And it has been proven by history that this thing will be eliminated sooner or later.
Therefore, Li Chengqian didn't bother to use this outdated old guy at all.
After all, he is someone who can even research wind mills and propeller ships.
Can't we make a wind-powered water pump?
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian did what he said.
Within two days, he handed over the first draft to the craftsman.
These craftsmen were Zhang Carpenter and others brought by Li Chengqian.
These people have long been accustomed to Li Chengqian's whimsical ideas.
Therefore, after seeing the drawings, I did not hesitate and started construction immediately...
