The construction of dams in Ruqing and Yingrui can basically be solved by traditional techniques. The emergence of small blast furnaces only provides a certain amount of cast iron tools to achieve engineering goals more easily and conveniently.
To say there is any qualitative leap, actually there is not.
It is purely a primitive way of stacking labor hours, and the operation difficulty is very low.
However, for alligators, brave men and martyrs who have retired due to injury, this is a good place for transformation and experience. If management ability is not genius, it all depends on practice.
There are many opportunities for exercise, so naturally, you have your own set of management methods.
And it is effective within a certain range.
When he was busy, Li Jie inspected more than 20 construction sites in a row. Generally speaking, the chaos was orderly. The prestige brought by the victory over Chu State could indeed suppress the Huaiyi, Jingman and various small country barbarians from daring to act arrogantly.
.
Even the bad habits of private fighting were eliminated by him due to the strict "General's Order".
"Huaishang Yicong" can easily suppress a conflict of two to three hundred people with a small team just by relying on Li Jie's name.
Even when the group was so excited that the leader was killed on the spot, the troublemaking group did not dare to resist.
Li Jie is a man of faith.
As long as he makes a promise, everyone on both sides of the Huai River will believe him, no matter which country he is from.
If you say you should be whipped if you break the rules, then you are whipped.
When we say hanging in public, we mean hanging, not cutting in half, not quartering...
Pu River enters the west of Huaikou.
Li Jie picked up the telescope and looked at the swamp on a mound. After that, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, if a ditch is dug in the southeast direction, it can indeed drain water and clear out silt. You have made great progress."
"They are all cultivated by the Lord!"
Jiang Wu and Chen Kui immediately said in unison.
"The nearby silt is directly used to fertilize the fields, and we can plant a batch of grass heads before winter."
"yes!"
The grass head is southern alfalfa. It was brought to Wu State by Huai County teachers from their hometown in Qin State to sow it. It was originally intended to be fed to sheep. However, when the old monster was still alive, he found that this stuff was very durable after being dehydrated, so he used it as military rations.
Important addition.
In fact, this stuff can be used as green manure, and the yield is quite high. Li Jie's horse farm in Jiangbei mainly relies on this to survive.
The reason why it is said that it continues to live is because there is still a big difference between southern alfalfa and alfalfa.
"My lord, there are not enough 'Leymus chinensis' seeds. We can only plant about three to four thousand acres."
Jiang Wu called "Caotou" "Leymus chinensis" because when he was in the Biyang Kingdom, there was also a supply of grass heads and the Wu people used them to feed sheep, so the people of Qi called this kind of thing "Leymus chinensis".
"Plant first and save more seeds this year."
"yes!"
Grass heads are just like leeks. During the growth period, you can keep cutting them until they are really old, have yellow flowers and decline, and then you are done.
And the vitality is extremely tenacious. In Jiangyin-eup, there are many kinds of cress, water shield, and grass in the ditch, and they can grow wildly on both sides of the ditch without management.
There is not much difference in yield between wild grass heads and artificially grown grass heads. The only difference is in taste. The ones served by human beings are more tender. But if they are both used for dehydration and storage, there is no difference at all.
And because it turns khaki after dehydration, the locals in the Wangji area of Gusu also call it "gold cauliflower".
From Commissioner Li's point of view, there is no alfalfa, so it is okay to use southern alfalfa to make up the number.
It's a pity that the Qin State raided the Western Regions and brought back not many high-quality crops. Some of them have not spread to the East and are only grown west of Xianyang.
Take broad beans, for example. The Qin people's military rations used to be taro, but now there are more broad beans. The old Qin people call them "broad beans". Whether they are fried or boiled with salt, they are very anti-hungry, and because they are smaller than soybeans, black beans are longer.
It is large and packed in sacks, so the loss is much less.
Under the general background of "Wu and Qin are good", the people of Qin were also quite sincere and brought a lot of "beans" as dowry. Unfortunately, they have not yet taken root in Wu and are still halfway there.
Is it possible to grow up in the Wu Kingdom now... Commissioner Li was puzzled by this thought.
No matter how you look at it, the idea of being outnumbered is not reliable.
"Ready to start work!"
"yes!"
Jiang Wu and Chen Kui took the newly formed Third Brigade and Fourth Brigade of martyrs to take care of the civilian husbands and slave laborers.
Li Jie, on the other hand, ordered the crocodile man to drill his eyes and prepare to explode.
On the five-mile-long hardened land, there are more than 20 construction sections, and each construction section has a blasting team that is destined to live and die.
If you have enough black powder, you can blow it up and it's done.
If you blow up the city wall, it won't work, but if you open the eyes of the earth, it won't be a problem.
As the whistle sounded, the flag waved, and under the attention of thousands of people, there was a fierce fart sound.
Turtle, turtle, turtle, turtle, turtle...
From far to near, it finally turned into a roaring roar, which was not earth-shattering at all.
But it still suppressed hundreds of newly recruited martyrs. It's not that I have never seen the "Power of the Dragon God" in action, but I have never seen it on this scale.
As for those civilians and slave workers, they knew nothing about power in the first place, and now they have carried out their ignorance to the end.
Sand and sand are flying and smoke is billowing.
That scene, that posture, was like an old monster returning from resurrection. Commissioner Li was thinking about this special effect and filming "The Return of King Wu Wei" would be a big hit.
"Okay, the soil has been loosened, let's dig."
"Yes Yes……"
After the smoke and dust dispersed, the pleasant smell of burning gunpowder still filled the air.
The hardened land has been violently loosened and is now quite soft, but unfortunately there is no water.
"The 'Power of the Dragon God' is so useful."
Commissioner Li was very pleased. It was too wasteful to use black powder in warfare. It was better to use it in the engineering field.
What originally required tens of thousands of people to do the work might require the scrapping of tens of thousands of kilograms of cast-iron farm implements and tools. Now isn't it just a matter of indiscriminate bombing?
Save time, effort and high efficiency, Dragon God’s method is really good!
Originally, to supervise the peasants and slave workers, they had to rely on Wu hooks, spears and machetes. Now, with an "earth-shaking" special effects display, these peasant husbands and slave workers who came to the west of Pu River are actually more obedient than ever before.
Those prickly heads who were famous for being fierce and domineering back home in the Dabie Mountains are now more cowardly than turtles, and they are still turtles that don't bite.
"Good luck, good luck."
Commissioner Li is very pleased that peaceful development is indeed the mainstream of the times.
I thought that those civilians and slave workers would run away in fear after seeing this special effect, but I never expected that they were all too frightened to move. Now, in the name of Li Jie, the righteous supervisors asked them to go to work.
I don't need to be pushed when I'm working, and I'm very obedient.
Even if the language communication between the two parties is inconvenient, it is just like the epiphany when reading. The language barrier makes it difficult to understand the spirit.
It can be seen that people can communicate and communicate with each other as long as they have a little patience.
"After draining and clearing the swamps in this area, we will try to grow a season of rice next year. The iron smelting plant west of Pushui will rely on these new fields for supply."
"Yes! Lord, please rest assured!"
Li Jie waved his hand, turned and left.
Where is the great cause of farming? How can we rest assured that there is such a small area, but there is such a large piece of land and no one is in control?
After Commissioner Li showed off his "Dragon God Power", he is now wondering whether this training center that deceives people and money is branded by Lanxiang or New Oriental?
