I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Regardless of whether it was before or after the crossing, Liu Tan was also the first to see the dam open. When he saw the water flowing out of the dam, he couldn't help being excited.

And the people on the other side of him were already excited to the extreme.

For many years, they have guarded the Yellow River but there is no water to use. Because the Yellow River is too far away, carrying water is also a burden, so unless it is too dry, they will not easily carry water.

There is also well water, but because the amount of water is limited, and there is only a little when it is suitable for irrigation every year, a year's work will be wasted if the farming season is missed, so fighting for water is fought every year.

Now they finally have water, even though the oxbow lake is still far away from them, the artificial river dug along the way is very close to them, especially I heard that the irrigation network will extend from the artificial river to the ground, which means that in the future they will not be able to No need to look at God's face anymore.

Liu Tan watched those people laughing and jumping, and couldn't help laughing.

There was never a moment that gave him such a sense of accomplishment as now, and made him feel that he had done something that benefited the country and the people.

In the past, those things remained on the surface. He knew that he was doing the right thing through the paperwork and the treasury revenue of the northern border country, but those cold figures actually did not satisfy him.

After the dam was opened and the water was released, nothing happened. Liu Tan turned around and pedaled to leave, and asked the guards to release the restraint on the people.

After the guards withdrew, some of the people jumped into the ditch in an instant. Liu Tan was shocked when he saw it in the car.

At the same time, more common people knelt and kowtowed to Liu Tan's carriage on the opposite bank. They seemed to be still shouting something, but he couldn't hear it clearly because they were too far away.

But even if he didn't hear clearly, he could still know that those people should be thanking him.

Liu Tan sat in the car, and the frame followed the canal all the way to the oxbow lake. The enlarged oxbow lake was only about one-third full of water before, and now the water line is constantly rising.

Huo Guang was riding outside, took a look and said, "With this lake, we won't be afraid of drought in the future."

Liu Tan got out of the car and took a look at the sparkling lake, touched his chin and said, "We still need to use it. We should raise fish, shrimp and lotus root. Well, we should also raise some crabs."

After hearing this, Huo Guang laughed and said, "Your Highness is talking nonsense again, we don't have a sea here, how can we raise crabs?"

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, looked up at him and said, "Crab, doesn't the crab taste good too?"

Huo Guang was slightly taken aback: "Crabs? There are people who eat river crabs, but there are not many of them. Raising river crabs... we will have to look again."

Liu Tanxin said that it must be because you are eating the river crab in the wrong posture!

In Liu Tan's heart, river crabs and sea crabs have their own advantages and disadvantages. Sea crabs eat a delicious seafood, while river crabs are more fragrant.

Xu Lin, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help asking after hearing this, "Crab...what is it?"

Both Liu Tan and Huo Guang had a meal, Liu Tan asked: "Haven't you heard of it?"

Xu Lin shook his head blankly, and Liu Tan was not surprised either. The traffic is blocked these days, and there are no suitable long-distance transportation conditions. Both sea crabs and river crabs have to be marinated into sauce before they can be transported to farther places.

Even so, there are very few people who can eat crab sauce.

Huo Guang knew about crabs, one was that he had eaten crab sauce, and the other was that he had traveled east with Liu Che. With Liu Che's habit of going to the seaside every year to find immortals, seafood must be indispensable, and Huo Guang must have eaten it.

And Xu Lin grew up in the inland since he was a child, so he must have never eaten crabs, or maybe he has never heard of them.

You must know that even after the liberation of later generations, there have been people who took lotus roots to sell in places that did not produce lotus roots. As a result, the locals did not know them and were almost regarded as liars.

Liu Tan couldn't explain what a crab is to Xu Lin, so he thought for a while and said, "I'm telling you now that you definitely can't imagine it. I'll ask someone to make a wooden version of the crab later. As for the real crab... hey, I can’t even eat it now, just think about it.”

Huo Guang said with a smile: "Your Highness told His Majesty that His Majesty will definitely send someone to deliver it."

Liu Tan shook his head: "Forget it, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, I'm afraid it will stink when we send it here, when we...forget it, let's find a way to raise river crabs."

As soon as Huo Guang heard it, he knew that Liu Tan must have moved his mind to go to the beach, but now most of the places suitable for visiting are in Qi State. Liu Tan must have met Qi Wang Liu Fuling in the past, and he must not want to see him now. .

Xu Lin didn't mind after hearing this, he had already found his direction in life, and not being able to see something he hadn't seen before didn't make him feel disappointed.

He cautiously asked tentatively: "Your Highness, next...can you build a relatively large gravity dam?"

Liu Tan smiled and said, "Already thinking about the next one? Didn't I tell you to rest for a while? I don't want to kill chickens to get eggs."

Xu Lin quickly said: "It will take a long time to prepare, don't worry, with this experience, I can handle it well when I am older."

Liu Tan didn't agree very much, but although Xu Lin's eyes were covered with green cloth, Liu Tan could still feel the other party's eagerness from his body.

Xu Lin really loves water conservancy. Liu Tan thinks about it when he encounters something he likes to do.

He simply said: "You also said that the preparatory work is all about preparation work. A large-scale gravity dam is not a concept with this. You need to get all the data clear, and you may even encounter many problems during the construction process, so first Go back, after you go back, while you are recuperating, write me a document for all these, and if there is no problem after I read it, you can go again."

Xu Lin was relieved now, he was really worried that Liu Tan would not let him continue because of his health, that would be a pity.

Liu Tan directly took Xu Lin back to the capital, and on the first day back, he directly raised Xu Lin's salary and gave him a lot of rewards along the way.

But in Liu Tan's view, these are all official articles, and Xu Lin may not care about these extraneous things.

It's not that everyone doesn't care. Xu Lin, a disabled person, can be reused. Those who failed in the previous scientific examinations will inevitably feel sour. Gradually, all kinds of unpleasant words will come out, which are nothing more than criticism. Xu Lin's body.

No matter how much Xu Lin kept his ears shut, he would inevitably hear some rumors, so he had no choice but to lock himself in the house and not go out.

After Liu Tan knew about it, he felt that this was not good. If he was bored like this, he would get sick sooner or later.

He simply brought someone to Xu Lin's house. Xu Lin was startled when he heard that he was coming: "Why did His Highness come in person? If you need anything, just send someone to tell you."

Liu Tan sat down and said: "It's not a big deal, I just suddenly remembered that you once promised me to teach the students of the academy, but you haven't been to the academy until now, so I won't remind you. Did you just forget?"

After hearing this, Xu Lin lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's not right for me to be like this."

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows: "I say yes, who dares to say no?"

Xu Lin pursed his lips: "I... I have to get help when I go in and out, and it is easy to have a bad influence."

Liu Tan stipulates that everyone in the academy must walk, no matter how noble his status is, even he will walk there in person when he goes to the academy.

Although Xu Lin has a special status, he also needs to be carried, which invisibly breaks Liu Tan's rules.

After hearing this, Liu Tan said: "It's just right, the reward I gave you before is the same as I left behind."

Xu Lin asked in confusion, "What?"

Liu Tan said, "Bring it in."

A brand new black painted wooden wheelchair was placed in front of Xu Lin, Liu Tan said: "I have prepared a new means of transportation for you, try it."
