Chapter 448 Jia Xu: Uncle Wants to Take Liangzhou? I Think I Need to Help(2/3)
Looking down from a high altitude, water channels of various sizes are like spider webs, covering a large area.
Hundreds of thousands of hectares of land were covered.
This is not a water canal at all, this is a lifeline, a line of wealth, and a line of food security!
From now on, as long as the water canals are not damaged, these hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland will be able to maintain harvests even if they encounter a severe drought.
At this time, it was the severe winter period, the weather was so cold that many parts of the Yellow River froze.
The surface of the main canal of Longshou Canal is also covered with a thick layer of ice.
However, it did not reach the bottom, and there was still water flowing underneath.
However, some of the shallower branch canals were almost completely frozen.
There were children running and sliding on the water channel that was covered with a thick layer of ice. They were very happy.
Even if he falls down if he is not careful, he still has a great time playing, as if he doesn't know the pain.
Sometimes, some people can find some surprises in the ditch.
Under the ice, there will be some fish swimming in from the river, trapped at the bottom by the thick ice...
However, these children generally do not have a lot of fun, and adults often call them back and prevent them from playing here.
It's not that they are afraid that they will be in danger, but that the children will destroy the water channel that was finally repaired.
The water canal was not easy to come by, and many people participated in it and worked hard for it.
Moreover, in the future, the water canals can truly benefit them.
How do you keep them from getting distracted by this?
Even though they know that the damage that children may cause to the water channel by playing here is minimal, they still don't want the children to play here for a long time.
I want to avoid any damage at all.
After the canal was built and the entire line was connected to water, the people of Feng Yi County were extremely happy.
Many people ran and cheered, shouted and jumped along with the water flowing along the canal.
That kind of joy cannot be described in words.
Even now, many people still come out from time to time to walk by the ditch and take a look.
Look at the canal, and then look at the wheat fields covered with heavy snow on both sides of the canal. Although my heart is chilled by the cold wind, my heart is soaring.
However, compared with before, these people's moods were somewhat heavy while being soaring.
Uncle Liu suffered unfair treatment because he allocated fields to them, fought against all opinions, provided money and food, and organized manpower to repair canals.
His military power was taken away and he was left idle!
How could such a good person be deprived of military power, and how could he be treated so unfairly?
Many people felt aggrieved in their hearts and felt aggrieved on behalf of the emperor's uncle.
This is so bullying.
If their lives were not stable now, and they were worried that acting randomly would bring greater disaster to the emperor's uncle, many people wanted to go to Chang'an with sickles, hammers, hoes, etc. to ask Dong Taishi and others.
What is the situation, why do you treat Uncle Liu Huang like this...
"Uncle Huang...Uncle Huang, are you really okay?"
Here in Feng Yi County, there are several people standing on the edge of a canal.
The person who spoke was the stuttering young man Ma Jun.
One of the people standing next to him was Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.
At this time, Jia Wenhe became paler than when he was building the canal.
Not as dark and shiny as before.
This is mainly because after entering winter, the sun is not as harsh as before, and the canals are almost built, so we don't have to be exposed to wind and sun every day as before.
His position has also been promoted. After the successful construction of Longshou Canal, he has officially become the prefect of Feng Yi County.
This is the seventeenth time Ma Jun has asked Jia Xu.
Jia Xu had a gentle smile on her face, and she didn't feel impatient with Ma Jun's question.
On the one hand, it was because this matter involved the emperor's uncle, and on the other hand, he admired Ma Jun, the young man who was about to be crowned.
The young man, like him, had a bad background, but was extremely smart.
Especially in all kinds of tricks, he is particularly talented.
Not to mention other things, when it came to the construction of Longshou Canal, because of his many constructive suggestions, the construction of Longshou Canal was completed at least more than a month in advance.
Otherwise, after the severe winter comes, construction will no longer be possible. If you want to completely build the Longshou Canal, you will have to wait until next spring.
He valued Ma Jun very much.
Of course, the emperor's uncle also valued it very much.
Otherwise, the printing technology would not be handed over to Ma Jun to study.
Jia Xu is a smart man.
Although Ma Jun has not completely mastered printing until now, he has already thought of many things and some far-reaching considerations based on some of the things that printing can now display.
Although many of them don’t have a clear idea yet, they already have some awareness in their hearts...
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. It's just that you have been taken away from military power. There is nothing else.
Further harm will not occur.
If you are worried, study printing carefully and complete it as soon as possible. Then you can take these to Yushan to see the emperor.
The emperor's uncle will be very happy to see you mastering printing."
Jia Xu looked at Ma Jun and said with a smile, with some gentleness in his voice.
Ma Jun was overjoyed when he heard this: "I, I, this, this, go and get it!"
After that, he bowed his hands to Jia Xu and the other people who were following Jia Xu, and ran away in a hurry.
Looking at Ma Jun, who was flying away quickly and full of energy, the smile on Jia Xu's face became even brighter.
He is really becoming more and more optimistic about Ma Jun.
“…Drains cannot be repaired once they are repaired. If you want the drains to function in the future, you need to maintain them in the future. You must find problems in time and repair the drains in time.
The subordinates felt that the canals on the land of each village should be divided into various villages.
It’s not that the canal has become their private property, but the responsibility for repairing and protecting the canal has been assigned to them, allowing them to inspect it daily and repair it in a timely manner if they find problems.
Don't let small problems accumulate into big problems...
If a water channel somewhere is broken and has not been repaired for a long time, the person responsible will be held accountable.
If the canal is damaged where it flows from the junction of two villages or several villages, these villages will work together to contribute..."
Jia Xu nodded after hearing this: "This proposal is good and can be enacted.
Even if the water channel cannot be repaired, even if it is repaired, you can just lie there and enjoy the convenience brought by the water channel in the future. You need to pay attention to maintenance..."
After dealing with this matter, someone else made a suggestion: "We are here in Feng Yi County, and to the north is Shang County.
It was previously occupied by the Huns, and there are Huns activities, so we need to be prepared for the Huns to thresh the grass in winter."
Jia Xu nodded and said: "This does need to be guarded, but there is no need to worry. Dong Yue, the younger brother of the Taishi clan, has already been dispatched by the Taishi to lead troops and horses to guard the northern front line.
With them here, the Southern Huns, who had been in captivity for hundreds of years, did not have such courage.
Even if you are brave, you will be beaten to lose your courage.
Today is different from previous years.
The troops here in Guanzhong are really strong now, and the Huns will worry about us going to attack them...
But we have to be careful, there will be people who will deceive the Huns and do some unwise things at this time..."
After dealing with some things one after another, he was the only one left around Jia Xu.
He stood here, staring at the ditch in front of him, and then turned his gaze in the direction of Liangzhou.
With a smile on his face, he whispered in a low voice: "It's a big game of chess, but I don't know if Han Sui, Ma Teng and others will fall for it.
Just relying on these current methods, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
Han Sui's fellow is not very wise or well-organized, but he is more timid and cautious..."
As a Liangzhou native, Jia Xu naturally has feelings for Liangzhou. It is his hometown no matter what.
The Han Dynasty also had many things to do with Liangzhou. Compared with its rule over other places, Liangzhou, a place with a complex population, remoteness and trouble-prone places, used very rough methods.
Many times, the damage from big men will even exceed the damage from bandits and the like...
If someone else wanted to plot to take Liangzhou, after realizing this intention, Jia Xu would not just sit idly by and ignore it. He would help the people in Liangzhou do something.
Even if Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng start attacking Liangzhou as soon as they come to Guanzhong, the most that Jia Xu can do is to keep silent and not help each other.
To be continued...
