(Here it comes, it will be completed in 10,000 days!)

Xu Jin felt that Zhao Kun had no future, and Zhao Kun also felt that Zong Baosheng had no future.

"What's so good about farming? You only earn a few bags of grain all year round. It's so tiring and hard work that it's not worth it! Look, you can work on projects with me and easily save dozens of dollars a year.

Isn’t this better than farming?”

Zhao Kun said this to Zong Baosheng.

Zong Baosheng said honestly: "Boss Zhao, you are taking care of the villain. The villain knows better than anyone what kind of material the villain is. The villain is destined to farm. Doing this is not what the villain is good at."

……hey-hey."

Zhao Kun laughed and scolded: "You are really worthless. You have such a good opportunity, but you don't know how to cherish it. You have to plow the fields. What are you doing!"

Zong Baosheng just laughed.

Of course, Zhao Kun didn't say much, and he didn't want Zong Baosheng to follow him. What Xu Jin said about his rapid rise to prominence was irrelevant to him.

And as Zong Baosheng said, "I know what I am made of better than anyone else", Zong Baosheng knows that he is not suitable for any projects, and he, Zhao Kun, also knows that even if Zhang Heng gives him any opportunity to rise to fame, he will seize it.

Unable to live.

It is important for people to have self-awareness.

Dongnan East Road is actually lush in winter, but the weather is also cold, and everyone wears thick clothes, but at this time, the state government office is full of joy.

The magistrates and registrars from various counties gathered in the establishment hall. They had not seen each other for some time, and they were exchanging ideas quite excitedly.

When Zhang Heng came in and saw such a lively scene, he smiled and said: "It seems that everyone has finished measuring the fields, right?"

The magistrate of Xiangshan County, Shi Mingchen, said loudly: "Isn't that right? Everything has been measured, so we made an appointment to tell you the good news!"

Everyone laughed and looked beaming with joy.

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Sure, let's all report it?"

Shi Mingchen laughed and said: "Then I, Xiangshan, will come first. This time, my Xiangshan base will extend over 12,000 feet, creating 500 hectares of fertile land!"

Jia Ruolin, the magistrate of Panyu, smiled and said: "Old Shi, to make you so happy with just five hundred hectares of land, are you too short-sighted?"

The current land reclamation in the Pearl River Delta is expected to create a total of 20,000 hectares of land, but Xiangshan only has 500 hectares of land, which is indeed very small.

After hearing Jia Ruolin's ridicule, Shi Mingchen disagreed and said: "Of course you big dogs don't care about this little land, but what is our Xiangshan County? [Xiangshan is a city, an island in the sea, its land is the narrowest, and its people are the poorest]

, how do we Xiangshan people live? We rely on fishing, seaweed, and salt. The remaining thousands of acres of land can only be planted with whatever we want. To grow some vegetables for food, rice, noodles, etc., we all have to buy them from outside!

This time there are 500 hectares of land, which is 50,000 acres of land. After planting rice, we Xiangshan people will never be short of food in the future!"

Having said this, Shi Mingchen was so happy that he wiped away tears, which made many people quiet down. How could anyone laugh at the magistrate who loved his people like his own son?

Zhang Heng asked Jia Ruolin: "How is Panyu?"

Jia Ruolin said: "The base stretches over more than 12,000 feet and protects 1,500 hectares of fertile land."

As soon as Jia Ruolin said this, everyone immediately congratulated him. Jia Ruolin said calmly: "There are not many swamps and sandy fields in Panyu, which is quite helpful for Panyu. But the road around the embankment is an unexpected surprise."

As soon as Jia Ruolin said this, many magistrates and counties immediately scolded a big business owner for being able to increase their farmland by 1,500 hectares and still look so calm. It was enough to show off, but it was also true that the Panyu family was rich, so there really wasn't much to say.

.

Zhang Heng encouraged a few words. In fact, it is understandable that there are not many Xiangshan and Panyu. One is an isolated island and the other is a land that has already been formed. The potential for development is not very great. The key is the South China Sea, Shunde, and Dongguan.

several places.

Zhang Heng looked at Kang Qizu, the magistrate of Nanhai County.

Kang Qizu's face was full of excitement and great pride, and he loudly said: "The South China Sea stretches over more than 222,000 feet and protects 9,500 hectares of fertile land!"

"Wow!" All the magistrates were immediately shocked.

Even Jia Ruolin couldn't sit still and said in surprise: "So many?"

Although Zhang Heng had already expected it, he really didn't expect that there would be so much land, so he was quite surprised: "There are almost nearly ten thousand hectares of land?"

Kang Qizu nodded affirmatively and said: "Thanks to Han Zaozhuang, Han Zaozhuang is the one!"

Kang Qizu gave a thumbs up.

"When Hanzhou built the embankment, they surveyed a low-lying area, which was originally not within the scope. However, after Hanzhou's survey, he believed that the large area of ​​​​water was actually about to become a sand field. Although there is no way to grow rice as a sandfield for the time being.

, but it can be dug into a fish pond or a mulberry pond.

So I summarized it, which suddenly increased the land area by nearly three to four thousand hectares. But don’t get me wrong, in this way, not only did the construction cost not increase, but because of the uprightness, a full seven or eight thousand hectares of land were built.

Thousands of feet of embankment."

Everyone admired them, but although Nanhai's results were good, they were still lower than those of Shunde.

In fact, among the counties, Shunde is the most unique. Before the embankment was built, except for the county seat, which had a good piece of land, the rest was basically swampland. It was also a quite poor county.

According to the original trajectory, it was the people of Shunde who worked hard to build the embankment and built it for hundreds of thousands of years before the Shunde of later generations became a prosperous Shunde and had a high reputation as a hometown of delicious food.

Xia Gongzhi, the magistrate of Shunde County, was already flushed with excitement. He hurried behind Kang Qizu and said, "Shuai Cao, our performance in Shunde is pretty good. This time we built land by embankment, Shunde will be extended by 322,000 yuan."

More than a thousand feet, protecting 18,500 hectares of fertile land!"

"Boom!" All the magistrates and county bookkeepers started making a sensation.

Zhang Heng was also moved: "So many?"

Xia Gong rubbed his hands and laughed: "Not too much, not too much, there will be more in the future. Han Zhuangzhuang observed the hydrological and sediment conditions and said that in the past hundred years, the embankment has been built, and the water potential will change. By then, the mud

As more sand will be accumulated in Shunde, the area of ​​​​Shatian will become larger and larger. Maybe in a hundred years, the land in Shunde will be expanded several times!"

Everyone is envious.

Then there were reports from the Dongguan magistrate and others. Zhan Chongwen summarized it and reported to Zhang Henghui: "Captain Cao, I have made statistics and found that the seven counties in Guangzhou passed here to create land for dikes, and a total of 31,000 hectares of land were created!"

Zhang Heng had already made a rough calculation in his mind, and this was the number. It was a bit beyond his expectation. Originally, he had made a rough calculation and found that it was about 23,000 hectares, which is good. Unexpectedly, it was seven thousand more.

When it came out, it was an unexpected surprise.

However, this measurement was a preliminary measurement after the encirclement of the embankment. The embankment had not yet been completed, so Zhang Heng praised the magistrates and bookkeepers and asked them to go back and continue with the next work.

The embankment is enclosed, but there are still many things to do. The embankment needs to be reinforced, roads need to be paved on it, and then the land needs to be divided, farming needs to be organized, ponds need to be dug, mulberry trees need to be introduced, fish fry need to be cultivated... There are so many things that need to be done.

It’s too much, and it’s not time to celebrate yet.

Zhan Chongwen asked Zhang Heng: "Commander Cao, what should we do with the extra 10,000 hectares of land?"

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "Ten thousand were given to the people who participated in building the embankment, and ten thousand were sold to the investors. The remaining eleven thousand hectares..."

Zhan Chongwen looked at Zhang Heng with expectation: "How about it be put under the name of the state government and regarded as the property of the Guangzhou state government?"

Zhang Heng shook his head and said: "...Sell them all, not the current people. Zhan Tongpan, I will give you a task. You go to the north to recruit 110,000 farmers, and each household will be given ten acres of land.

Just give it when you come, no conditions required!"

Zhan Chongwen was surprised and said: "You don't have to pay for it?"

Zhang Heng nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, there is a boat to pick him up. Go south by sea. When you come, you will be given land and seeds and farming tools. Now there are many farmers who cannot survive on Hebei East and West Road, Hedong Road, Yongxing Military Road, and Jianghuai area.

, easy to recruit.”

Zhan Chongwen kept shaking his head and said: "No, no, what I'm asking is, these 11,000 hectares of farmland will be allocated like this without taking half a penny. Yes, we will also give seeds and farming tools..."

Zhang Heng sighed and said: "Well, you heard it right. I know you think this is too bad, but we are going to develop Guangnan East Road. Before Guangnan East Road, there was little land and the people were poor. In fact, it is not just the people who are poor.

, and there are few people.

There are only a few hundred thousand households in such a big road. Even if each household is calculated as five people, it is only 600,000 people!

There are only 600,000 people in such a big road. You think it’s too far off to say that there are only 600,000 people in such a big road. This place is not a wilderness, it is a wilderness!”

Zhang Heng looked at Zhan Chongwen and said: "So, my main task now is to continuously reclaim land and recruit northern refugees to Guangnan East Road. When will there be one million households on Guangnan East Road?"

, then you can be considered truly wealthy!”

Zhan Chongwen was speechless.

Mainly because Zhang Heng's target scared him.

There were only four roads with one million households in the Song Dynasty, one Liangzhe Road, one Jiangnan East Road, one Jiangnan West Road, and one Huainan West Road. These four roads were the real highlights of the Song Dynasty!

And what is Guangnan East Road?

He had the same problem as Guangnan West Road, and was the thinnest son in the Song Dynasty. People in the Song Dynasty always said this when they said someone was barbaric or poor [Look, that person looks like a barbarian from Guangdong].

Zhan Chongwen felt that Zhang Heng must have drifted off, so he made some achievements, and then he became drifting off, and even made such bold words... Zhan Chongwen wanted to ask, when should he go to bed before he can have such a sweet dream.

Of course, he didn't ask about this. If he did, it would be too offending.

Moreover, Zhan Chongwen also accepted this task because Zhang Heng gave him a promise that if he completed this task, he could recommend him to become the magistrate of the state.

This was of course a great temptation, so Zhan Chongwen obeyed.

But Zhan Chongwen didn't think Zhang Heng's wish could be realized, and Zhang Heng didn't explain it to him in detail.

Zhang Heng himself is quite confident, because he has more important measures to take next.

With tens of thousands of hectares of newly reclaimed land in the Pearl River Delta, Zhang Heng is confident that the population of Guangnan East Road will increase several times. Because with these lands, Guangnan East Road will be able to be self-sufficient in food.

Other population increase plans were also successfully implemented.
