Chapter 1961 The north and the south are connected, and China is one
In addition to making more use of the old river channels, there are also many large and small lakes, rivers, etc. along the Honggou. As long as they are dredged or even directly excavated tributaries, they can become canals and reservoirs under the Honggou water flow system.
In addition, many years of war have left many lowland farmlands abandoned and gradually turned into reed tidal flats and swamps. Now the Han Dynasty still does not have that many people to reclaim these wastelands, so they built dams around them and turned them into reservoirs.
A good choice.
Use more, that is, as long as you can use it, it is best not to let it go.
The funds of the Han Dynasty are already limited, and the Ministry of Industry cannot empty out the treasury of the Han Dynasty for the purpose of benefiting future generations. It is naturally more efficient to transform and dredge the old rivers and lakes than to dig a new one on the flat land.
convenient.
What's more, these rivers are originally relics of the canals of the ancients. The ancients have proven that they can be used as canals. It is naturally better than digging a new river and facing many unknown difficulties and challenges.
What Li Xingchen needs is cost-effectiveness, not extravagance and waste.
In history, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was indeed powerful, and he devoted all his efforts to digging the canal, but in the end, he didn't give away the country. Even the Grand Canal benefited the Tang Dynasty in vain, and established the foundation for the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the south and achieve a prosperous age.
What a great contribution.
"Congratulations to your majesty!" The ministers accompanying him, starting from Wu Ping, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, all expressed their congratulations to Li Xingchen.
The water surface had returned to calm and the sounds of everything going well came from time to time, making everyone eager to express their congratulations to Li Xingchen.
Of course they know what opening the chasm means.
The north and south of the Han Dynasty will be more closely connected as a whole. From the farthest Annan, through the Ling Canal, the Xiang River enters the Dajiang River, and then through the Hangou to enter the Huai River, and finally through the Chasm into the Dajiang River. From Panyu in the south,
From Guilin to Jingzhou in the middle reaches of the river, to Jiankang in the lower reaches, then to the Huaihe River, and finally to Luoyang in the Central Plains and Chang'an in Guanzhong, and even Bajun and Chengdu Prefecture in Bashu. These important towns inside and outside the Han Dynasty will be connected by water networks and rivers.
As long as you have a boat, you can travel anywhere in the world.
It turns out that the Central Plains, as the heartland, was outside the entire Han Dynasty water network. In fact, it was also outside the Han Dynasty's economic network. If Li Xingchen himself was not in Luoyang, and the Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition was becoming more and more powerful,
I am afraid that the Central Plains will gradually become the end of the Han Dynasty's economic development.
Now that there is a gap, communication between the north, south, and east of China will naturally no longer be hindered. The vertical and horizontal water flows can fully meet the needs of the Han Dynasty for material transportation, economic exchanges and even cultural integration. The actual gap reappears, and the gap that originally spanned the north and south
The gap between them gradually disappears.
Since then, communication between the north and the south of China has become smoother, and the unity of the nine states is no longer an empty talk.
Therefore, both Li Xingchen himself and the officials of the Han Dynasty were sincerely happy.
At least this is enough to prove that what they brought to this land was not the usual war and suffering, but new life and revival.

Luoyang, Longmen.
Longmen is far away from the city of Luoyang. It is one of the few quiet places around Luoyang except Beimang. Naturally, no one wants to stay in Beimang for a long time. The mausoleums of emperors and the tombs of famous ministers and generals are undulating in a row. In the eyes of people of any era,
All of them are too yin-qi.
In comparison, Longmen on the bank of Yishui is naturally perfect as an academy.
Some of the giant Buddhas that were excavated during the Northern Wei Dynasty have been completed, while others only reveal the outline of the Buddha. Most of them were destroyed in the previous extermination of Buddhas. However, there are still some that survived, overlooking the long Yishui River and the long mountain road.
, adding a somewhat solemn atmosphere to this dragon gate. Many hermits had already gathered around the dragon gate before, waiting for the end of the troubled times.
Longmen was the place chosen by the imperial court for its quiet and academic atmosphere.
The construction of Longmen Academy has already started, and the enrollment of Longmen Academy will not even be completed before the academy is fully built.
The imperial court had been stabilizing the north for a long time, and it urgently needed to instill the culture of the Han Dynasty in the north through academies and recruit northern scholars to be used by the Han Dynasty. When a large-scale academy was built, it would be the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
After Pei Ju took office, he drew on the experience of the Han Dynasty in establishing Chengdu Academy, Jinling Academy, etc., and first conquered some existing temples and monasteries in Longmen and converted them into academies. He even did not spare many surrounding huts. Anyway, most of these houses were
It has been abandoned. Even the few who still have owners will not refuse the heavy money from the court. There are only one or two nail households left, which is embarrassing. Pei Ju is not going to reason with you, or you can choose to enter
Becoming a school janitor in the academy will be arranged by the academy, or you can ask the accompanying guards if the blades are sharp enough.
It's not good to drink wine as a penalty if you don't eat the toast.
Therefore, Longmen Academy soon had its own makeshift school building and was ready to enroll students.
After hearing the news, Li Xingchen could only lament that people in this era still don't understand the value of school district housing. Pei Ju's neatness also made Li Xingchen more convinced that his trust was correct.
It is no secret that Longmen Academy is the future Taixue, or the name of Taixue is Longmen Academy. Taixue chose this place, which naturally shows that this is a geomantic treasure, so many private academies are also opening in Longmen Academy.
Ground is being broken around.
These private academies do not belong to the imperial court in name, but in fact there are more or less figures from the imperial ministries and the inner government behind them. For example, Longmen Institute of Technology is supported by the Ministry of Industry, and Longmen Medical College naturally has the inner government behind it.
Injection of funds, but on the surface we still cannot break the rule that official education is presided over by the Ministry of Rites. In addition, it can also allow private capital to enter the school more logically.
Whether it is private workshops, pharmacies, or other walks of life, after realizing that academies can not only cultivate talents for officials, but also elite talents in the industry, they naturally do not mind investing in professional academies in this industry.
Funds, through signing talent introduction agreements and obtaining more employment promotion opportunities, will gain greater advantages when talents from these colleges graduate and obtain more professional talents.
In particular, the rapid advancement of science and technology has made every workshop realize that if they just stick to the original technology, they will soon be eliminated by the times. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce more talents with more advanced theoretical knowledge as soon as possible.
As for investing a small amount of money in the construction of the college, it is really nothing to them who have deep pockets.
With their support behind them, all kinds of academies have naturally sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Some of them are even faster, and the construction is faster than Longmen Academy. Moreover, the Ministry of Industry is nearby to supervise, and the quality is guaranteed.
