Wang Ran's words immediately made him pay more attention to him.
Even Song Yang looked at him, hoping that he really saw the problem.
Wang Ran smiled and said: "Everyone, look at Fushui east of Yangxin."
Everyone looked at the position Wang Ran mentioned, and Song Yang also knew that Wang Ran had probably noticed it.
Sure enough, Wang Ran continued: "The rich water here originally flowed meanderingly, forming an arc-shaped plain."
"But what the prince's map shows is a relatively straight river."
"Did the prince make a mistake?"
Wang Ran shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you are right, because the earthquake changed the course of the rich water!"
"The current actual situation is exactly as marked on the map of the prince!"
Wang Ran's words made everyone suddenly realize that the previous major earthquake had changed a lot of landforms.
"That's it! Your Majesty actually achieved such a fine level of detail!"
After awakening, everyone once again admired Song Yang's extremely accurate map.
"My lords, due to the changes in the terrain caused by the earthquake, some important terrains originally recorded are no longer accurate."
"So the last time I went out, in addition to drawing maps, another task was to explore the terrain."
"Just like Mr. Chen mentioned about Jinghu Lake, after my on-site exploration, Jinghu Lake is like this now."
"Then why does the king need to explore the terrain in such detail?"
"Let me give an example, let's talk about Jinghu Lake."
"Now that we know that the area of Jinghu Lake is larger, can we use the extra part to develop some fisheries?"
"There is also a diversion of Fushui. Wouldn't it be closer to Yangxin's residence?"
"Then can we use the rich water to create some hydraulic machinery such as water hammers and waterwheels?"
"So this is my purpose, to detail the topography and landforms, so as to achieve restoration and development based on local conditions."
After Song Yang finished speaking, he looked at the stunned people.
After a while, Wang Ran shook his head and said, "It's not as good as that! I don't have as many subordinates as the prince!"
"I admire you! I admire you! Your Majesty is really far-sighted! He is a high-ranking official! He is so unpredictable!" Liu Huairen exclaimed in surprise.
What's exaggerated is that he was so shocked that his beard flickered, as if he was about to take off!
"It is truly an honor for students to follow the prince!" Zhang Heng said after swallowing.
This prince is extremely considerate. Fortunately, he did not go out to cause trouble, otherwise he would not know how he would die in the future!
If nothing else, as long as you have this accurate map in hand, you can fight with twice the result with half the effort!
Just when Zhang Heng thought of this, Yu Ming, who had been silent until now, spoke.
Yu Ming stood up, everyone clasped their fists and said solemnly:
"My lords, this map is the masterpiece of the prince's painstaking efforts. I hope that your lords will take good care of it."
"This map involves many secrets. Do not let it fall into the hands of people with evil intentions."
After everyone heard what he said, they all realized that this kind of detailed map was a strategic level resource in troubled times.
It must not fall into the hands of others.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise that only your subordinates can see this picture!" Liu Huairen patted his strong chest and said.
There is no sound, maybe it's because the hair on the heart is too heavy...
Qiao Jinglong nodded solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as your Lordship said, this picture from the provincial government must be kept properly!"
"When I get back, I will make a copy of it, and use the one from the Yamen for the base map, so that I can always use the original map from the Yamen." Chen Fu was smart, so he wouldn't be afraid of the details of the map being leaked.
"People are here and plans are here!" Wang Ran expressed concisely and concisely.
Song Yang smiled when he saw everyone expressing their opinions and said:
"My lords, although this picture is important, you don't need to take too much care of it. It should be used when it needs to be used."
"As long as this picture doesn't get onto the market."
Maps should not be made public in this era.
Especially detailed pictures can be exploited by opportunists.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Song Yang then revealed the matter about the map.
Of course, before that, Song Yang assigned another task to everyone.
Because he didn't go to many places on his last trip, although this picture is detailed, there is still a lot of content that needs to be updated.
Giving each person a copy of this map also allows them to update the contents of the areas under their jurisdiction one by one after they return.
"I only had four missions for my last trip, and I have finished them now."
"How's it going? Is there anything you want to add?"
Song Yang smiled and looked at everyone.
"Down……"
"that……"
Qiao Jinglong and Chen Fu opened their mouths at the same time and shut up at the same time.
"Haha. Let's do this. Raise your hands to speak." Song Yang laughed.
The two of them gave in again, and finally Qiao Jinglong spoke first: "The prince just mentioned the hydraulic facilities, and I think they should be vigorously developed."
"It's best to build as many hydraulic rice pounding mortars as possible before the autumn harvest."
"Haha. What Mr. Qiao said is exactly what he wanted to do." Chen Fu said with a smile.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"We have counted the personnel situation before to see how many craftsmen there are and which industries they are in. We will make a summary in the past few days."
"Master Fang is responsible for this matter."
"After the personnel situation is calculated, a centralized deployment method should be adopted to form a team of craftsmen and try to have a team of craftsmen in each county."
“In addition, craftsmen’s households should be abolished and unified into civilian households!”
Everyone I mentioned above takes it for granted.
Only the last one, canceling the craftsmanship, everyone had some opinions for a while.
"Your Majesty, if the craftsmen's household is abolished, I'm afraid there will be no craftsmen available in the future!" Chen Fu said.
"Yes, yes! I also think it is best not to cancel the contract." Qiao Jinglong said.
"Craftsmen have been working for generations. If we cancel the craftsmanship, wouldn't it be equivalent to abandoning the main business?" Liu Huairen said.
Wang Ran and Zhang Heng did not speak.
Song Yang looked at them.
Wang Ran still considered it for a long time before saying:
"Your Majesty, I think the craftsmanship can be abolished...but corresponding measures must be taken to ensure that the skills of the craftsmen can be passed on."
"Students think so too. The household registration system of the Qian Dynasty can indeed be changed. It is a special period. It is all for the sake of revival." Zhang Heng also nodded and said.
"If the treatment of craftsmen is improved so that craftsmen can live by their craftsmanship, and even live better than others by relying on their craftsmanship, does that mean that the craftsmen's craftsmanship can be passed down on their own initiative?" Zhang Heng added.
"Then the common people have gone to work as craftsmen, and no one is farming. Isn't the land deserted?" Chen Fu asked rhetorically.
Qiao Jinglong nodded in agreement, while Liu Huairen said nothing and lowered his head in deep thought.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen."
Zhang Heng hugged everyone and continued:
"To be honest, the student has a relative in his family. His family is a farmer, but he lives a good life in Pengze County with his blacksmithing skills."
