Chapter 3360: Transforming Nature
Gumara had no intention of concealing these things. In fact, after Vesutva I issued an edict, there was no room for improvement in this matter. Barak could not turn back, and there was no need for the Han Dynasty to turn back. Therefore, after Gumara adjusted her mentality, she said everything she should say.
Cao Cao was not sorry for this. It was no longer dissatisfied with Cao Cao's ability to get so many things with nothing. As for the matter of being greedy for Shu, Cao Cao did not have this mentality. It would be nice to have such a place.
With the edict of Vesutva I, Cao Cao had already entered Kandahar first. After going up to the Kandahar Plateau, the inherent advantages of the Han Dynasty finally began to show its presence, farming and farming everywhere. As long as there is water and soil, we can farm.
More importantly, Barack had no idea of resisting this behavior, and even opened his own defense zone and allowed Cao Cao to sort out the Beigui Mountain area.
To be honest, the living environment in Beigui is indeed not good, but in Cao Cao's opinion, it is not impossible to improve. Moreover, only strong soldiers can be produced if there are poor mountains and bad waters. A very good place can only be used to slaughter people. The source of troops that can be defeated are basically in places where it is difficult to live, fighting with God.
Besides, the natural transformation technology of the Han Dynasty was very advanced. More than a dozen water conservancy specialists conducted on-site inspections and revised the plan repeatedly, and provided Cao Cao with a water conservancy construction plan that could support millions of people - the Helmand River diversion plan.
This plan has occupied this empire in later generations. As long as it prospers, I have thought about it. However, even now, the Afghans have not completed it. The technical difficulty is on the one hand, and the organizational strength restricts the other hand, but in short, it cannot be built.
The logic behind this river channel diversion plan is actually very simple. It is to break the Helmand River, which is an inland river, to the southeast of the Lezistan Desert, to forcefully reduce the runoff area, and then create arable land.
The runoff of the Helmand River is actually not small, and the water flow is sufficient. You can even sail in the middle and upper reaches. However, after entering the Zillestan Desert, the runoff is getting smaller and smaller due to the desert environment, and finally it flows dry.
In addition, the Hermand River is too wide in the Zillestan Desert and the evaporation is too large, so it has not yet exerted the runoff advantage of this river. The desert is still a desert, and it is difficult for even the coast to become a place with lush water and grass.
Later Afghanistan renovated the water network on a tributary 33 kilometers northeast of Kandahar, and directly renovated more than 40,000 hectares of fertile land. In fact, as the main road of Helmand itself, Afghanistan has never been able to develop it, so he could only let the Helmand River flow to the Lezistan Desert and finally disappeared there.
Coupled with the problem of water absorption in the desert, the Helmand River flows into the desert, which will aggravate the salinization and soil erosion of the land on the edge of the desert. The result is that it is clearly a very important river, but it has torped all the arable land around its home to death.
The water conservancy specialists in the Han Dynasty did not consider this issue. The problem these people think about was actually very simple, and they solved this problem once and for all.
The leader is the Lelang Wang family. Because this family has done a very good water conservancy project, this project is called controlling the Yellow River. This project solved the floods of the Yellow River once and for all. Wang Jing completed the Yellow River. In the next thousand years, there was no major divert or major flood. Therefore, there is a saying that Wang Jing governed the River for thousands of years without any danger.
In fact, the problem of the floods of the Yellow River was actually caused by the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty broke the Yellow River embankment and flooded the Central Plains. From then on, the Yellow River seized the estuary of the Huai River after the Yellow River seized the Huai River, and it was not going to the Yellow Sea. It can be said that the Yellow River problem that occurred after the Song Dynasty started from the time when the Yellow River embankment was dug and flooded our own people, causing the Yellow River to run around the northern land.
The Wang family inherited this family, so the family's way of working is very rough. Either we don't do it or we just do this to the end. As long as no one makes trouble, the Wang family's water conservancy projects can be used until now like Dujiangyan.
Therefore, Lelang Wang took the lead in proposing a plan, Helmand diverted the route, surrounded the angle between the Surman Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains on the southwest side of Kandaha, and directly created a shock plain calculated based on tens of thousands of square kilometers, and then refined the water network and created fertile fields.
This plan is very bold and has a great impact on Cao Cao. Because it is too exaggerated, it directly creates fertile fields calculated based on tens of thousands of square kilometers. Can you handle this operation?
In fact, when Cao Cao asked this, he wanted to do this, but he felt that it was too difficult and needed more detailed investigation.
As a result, the Wang family, Li family and Sang family all gave evaluation reports and concluded that they were capable. Even if they were screwed up, they would be better than they do now. What's more, they would be able to control water if they screwed up. If they were screwed up, they were all very professional.
So Cao Cao hesitated for a while and agreed to the Helmand diversion plan, and the three families began to lead the people of the Great Yuezhi to fight for a better future.
Let you see how our Han Dynasty transformed nature, without a place to farm? It is impossible. Even if there is really no water and soil, we can create a piece of arable land.
Xun Yu and others were happy to see that it was successful. It was a problem that the two sides could not understand the language. Even if the Dayuezhi people still had a little bit of Central Plains, they were separated for too long and communication would become a big problem. By making them work together, it would help deepen the understanding between the two sides. After all, collective labor is also a way of communication.
The ones who are willing to follow the original original party are the real original party, and the original party is basically the group with the most adequate military management, so there is no pressure to come here to accept the military camp. Although the Great Yuezhi does not know how to farm, there are some ways for the Han Dynasty to teach these people to farm.
For Cao Cao, not being able to farm is not a big deal. As long as you obey the command, you can teach it sooner or later. Moreover, with Cao Cao's capital, you really can't raise so many idle people who don't work. However, the situation is not too bad. Under militarized management, many things are advancing in an orderly manner. After Princess Qinghe arrives, Cao Cao will be able to truly reorganize the legion.
There is no way, Cao Cao is not Liu Bei, and he can remember all the hometowns and appearances of his backbone. If he wants to control these tens of thousands of Kushan young men, he can only re-compile. Even if Cao Cao is willing to believe that Barack will not re-repeat him, he will choose to re-compile.
Without Liu Bei's ability to recognize people, and if the new legion was put into power and not reorganized, it would be a nuisance for him. I really thought that Liu Bei would dare to organize the commander of the Yellow Turbans and his soldiers under the same army, so that they could show their due extreme combat effectiveness. Cao Cao would dare to say that. Liu Bei was fearless. Cao Cao did not have the capital and was unwilling to test people's hearts.
Barack was actually very open about this matter. In fact, when he chose to surrender to the Han Dynasty and marry the princess, he was mentally prepared to be a rice insect in the future. It would be good to retain the title of Legion Commander, and he no longer had the luxury of anything else.
Anyway, he was able to marry the princess and fulfill their long-lasting wish of the Great Yuezhi, and Barack felt that even if he lost these things, he was still mentally prepared for what kind of trouble his choice would bring.
Therefore, in the face of Cao Cao's small actions, Barack made an open and honest statement, "You don't need to avoid me, you should reorganize me, and I was mentally prepared when I chose to marry the princess."
Cao Cao sighed after hearing this, patted Barak on the shoulder, saying that I, Cao Cao, did not doubt the employment of people. Since I had agreed that you were the commander of the legion, I would never leave you behind. I would be at ease.
In fact, although Cao Cao was afraid of Barack, he did not have the idea of refrigerating Barack. After all, Princess Qinghe is his daughter and Barack is his son-in-law. If you don’t believe it, then there must be, but if you want to refrigerate, it won’t be.
Therefore, the two sides sat down and had a good talk. The hidden dangers that might have been caused by the communication were quickly eliminated. Barak was quite amazed at Cao Cao's grandeur, and Cao Cao also expressed his appreciation for Barak's behavior. The two sides once again restored the harmony between the father-in-law and son-in-law.
At this time, Kabechi and Aesot had arrived in the Western Regions. At this time, the Western Regions were more like a construction site. Sima Lang was arranged here to be considered a failure, but many things were easier to arrange, such as the merger of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms.
After Sima Lang killed all the countries in the Western Regions, he immediately started building the road. He did not need the road to various regions. He only needed a road that could connect all countries in the Western Regions, and then he found a way to connect this road with the road that extended from Yumen Pass.
This road that Chen Xi planned for five years has not been completed. Even with the nature of the Central Plains infrastructure maniac and a large number of northern Hu slaves who voluntarily devoted themselves to the Han Dynasty and worked hard, there are still many sections of this road that have not been completed.
Speaking of the infrastructure planned by Chen Xi over the years, there are only a few projects that cannot be completed by life or death. The southwestern artery, the northwestern artery, the Grand Canal, and the underground pipeline laying, Chen Xi is shouting every year, but it is still not done. It’s not that Chen Xi can’t draw out more people to do this. It can only be said that these projects are indeed difficult to handle.
Now Aesot and others are at the entrance of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, looking at the wide concrete road, and they are amazed, with a look worthy of being the Han Dynasty.
