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

As happy as Zhang Chenghan was, so sad was the sheriff of Zhangye County.

In the past, the two counties were almost unlucky. Although my side was worse, there was still someone to accompany me anyway.

The results are good now... I see that he is going to be prosperous. By then, there will be Dunhuang County on his left and Wuwei County on the right. Both counties will become richer and richer, and Zhangye County will be mixed with him, weak and helpless, oh No, in fact, there is another Jiuquan County between him and Dunhuang, but Jiuquan County is better than him, because from the beginning, the governor of Jiuquan County has a relatively good relationship with Kou Zhengda, the governor of Dunhuang County.

So during this period of time, Jiuquan County has often organized people to go to Dunhuang County to help, and the governor of Dunhuang County is also short of people, so they just took people in and gave them work, but they didn't let them settle down, which means that these people made a lot of money. Money and taxes still have to be paid in Jiuquan County, which is much better than Wuwei County and Zhangye County.

And if people live well there, the people here will go to other people.

What's the use of household registration here?The household registration in the counties of the Northern Kingdom is not so strict, as long as you follow certain procedures, you can settle directly.

I think many people from Dunhuang County ran to him back then, and he accepted them so flatteringly.

As a result, since the opening of the city, the population of his place has decreased a little bit, and they all ran to Dunhuang County.

It's not that he hasn't protested before, but when Kou Zhengda, the magistrate of Dunhuang County, protested to him, what did he say to others?

Oh, the common people have their own legs, so how can they control where they go?

Now people have kicked this sentence back to him intact, and the sheriff of Zhangye County is suffering and can't tell.

Now Wuwei County is about to get up, no, he has to save himself, if he doesn’t save himself, he will die. You must know that he was reprimanded by the Prime Minister when he came to submit the summary this time. The reason is that the population of other places is basically increasing. The trend turned into a decline when it came to him, and he was very out of gregarious.

The magistrate of Zhangye County thought about it and didn't know how to save himself. If he had that ability, would he still need to spend 20 years in Zhangye?

So in the end, he simply went to Huo Guang, the Prime Minister of the State, to make fun of him, no, to describe his grievances.

When he was complaining, he burst into tears, it was like crying when he heard it, but Huo Guang clenched his fists tightly, wanting to beat this guy up.

Of course the sheriff of Zhangye County could see that Huo Guang's patience was running out, but he didn't stop.

He is now going all out, and would rather be beaten up by the Prime Minister to get an idea.

But he dared it only in front of Huo Guang. The country's prime minister is a gentle gentleman. Although he is unsmiling and strict in his actions, he is reasonable.

If it were His Royal Highness King of the Northern Territory, the governor of Zhangye County would probably not dare to say a word, for fear that His Highness would be angry and end him with a sword, so where would he go to reason?

Huo Guang took a deep breath and said, "I know about Zhangye's affairs, and I will report it to His Highness. How to do it depends on His Highness's wishes. You...you wipe your face quickly. How dignified is it for the majestic court to order officials to act like shrews?" !"

Although the sheriff of Zhangye County didn't get an idea, he felt relieved when he got Huo Guang's promise.

Since the Prime Minister said that he would report to His Highness, he would definitely do so. It has to be said that the biggest characteristic of the northern border country from top to bottom is that it will not be perfunctory.

This is probably the characteristic of the imperial court during the rising and pioneering period, and of course it may have something to do with the high-level young people.

The younger you are, the more serious you are, and the more convinced you are that every spittle is a nail.

The sheriff of Zhangye County wiped away his tears and left. Huo Guang sighed. In fact, he had thought about this problem a long time ago. As some areas have additional income, the development of these counties in the northern border country will gradually be divided. wait.

It's just that when he first arrived in the northern border country, Huo Guang thought that the county closest to the Central Plains would develop first, but he didn't expect that the place bordering the Western Regions and the Huns would develop the fastest.

I always feel that there is a feeling of surprise and not too much surprise.

Huo Guang carefully sorted out the general situation of all the counties, and went directly to the palace with his things.

When he arrived at the palace, Liu Tan was wreaking havoc on his lawn with Gong Shucan.

Gong Shucan made a model, but this time the model is not particularly small, because if things like farm tools are too small, many problems will not be revealed, and it will be too late to really start making discoveries.

So Gong Shucan made a medium-sized model, which can be used for experiments with grass. Of course, the grass should not be too tall or thick, preferably below the knees.

When Liu Tan heard that Gong Shucan had made something, he was excited for a while and didn't bother to look for other places. He simply experimented in his harem. Anyway, although this place is well maintained on weekdays, Liu Tan seldom sets foot here. , and the harem of the King of the North is equivalent to no, and no one else to appreciate it, even if the lawn is bald, it's okay, anyway, the grass will turn yellow after a while.

When Huo Guang passed by, Liu Tan happened to be discussing with Gong Shucan what to improve.

Hearing Huo Guang approaching, he simply asked someone to take Huo Guang to the back.

If it was in Weiyang Palace, even if the emperor asked Huo Guang to meet him in the harem, Huo Guang would refuse, but in the palace of the King of the North... Huo Guang went in without any pressure.

As soon as he entered, he saw Liu Tan waving to him and said, "Come here, Prime Minister, and take a look at this harvester."

Huo Guang walked over quickly, and when he got there, he saw a reduced version of the harvester, but now he also knows the public loser, or the way Liu Tan taught the public loser - don't rush to do new things Finished product, try to make a model first.

Huo Guang bent down and took a closer look at the harvester. He saw the hook on the outside for the first time and asked, "This is it?"

Liu Tan said: "This one, I call this a reel. It is used to guide the crops to the direction of the cutting wheel, and at the same time erect the fallen crops so that the cutter can cut quickly."

Inside the reel is a disc-shaped cutting knife, which is in the shape of a sharp gear.

Originally, Gongshu Charn made the cutting knife like an ordinary sickle, using a sharp blade to cut, but after experimenting, it felt that the effect was not particularly good, so he changed it to this gear shape.

Huo Guang stretched out his hand and pushed the handrail for a test, and found that the cutting was indeed fast, but at the same time, there was a problem, that is, no matter how sharp the disc cutter was during the cutting process, fish would inevitably slip through the net, because some crops would be caught. The disc gears are brought out so that these crops cannot be cut directly.

The problems that Huo Guang can find, Liu Tan and Gong Shucan can also find, so what the two of them are discussing now is how to improve the cutter.

Liu Tan walked around the harvester and finally said: "If it's really not possible, let's make multiple small circular blades so that even if there are fish that slip through the net, they will cut each other."

Gong Shucan thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "It's feasible. Place the disc blades at different heights, so that this kind of situation can basically be avoided. I'll go back and modify it!"

Gong Shucan was about to leave after finishing speaking, Huo Guang reached out his hand to stop him and asked, "If this is modified, can it be put into use directly?"

Gong Shucan hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be fine, but we haven't made a real cutting machine yet, so it's only in theory."

Huo Guang asked: "How long will it take to make a real one and put it into use?"

Gong Shucan said with some uncertainty: "It will be about ten days at most." After saying this, he said with great certainty: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will definitely make it within ten days!"

Huo Guang nodded earnestly and said: "Okay, I have worked so hard to defeat Qiu Guan."

Gong Shucan waved his hands again and again: "This is the job of a subordinate official."

After talking about Gong Shucan, he hurriedly resigned and left. Ten days is a bit tight, but it is not impossible.

After Gong Shucan left, Liu Tan looked at Huo Guang and asked, "Why are you here suddenly?"

Huo Guang shook the document in his hand and said: "The situation in the sixteen counties of the Northern Kingdom has been sorted out in the first half of the year, and I will wait for His Highness to have a look."

Liu Tan clapped his hands and said, "Go, go back to the study and talk."

After returning to the study, Liu Tan first took a rough look at the overall data, and the expression on his face was relatively flat, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.

He had expected the situation in Dunhuang County a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to develop so quickly.

He looked up at Huo Guang and asked, "Does the governor of Dunhuang County want to rebuild the county?"

Huo Guang nodded and said, "That's right."

Liu Tan nodded: "This can be approved, the county town of Dunhuang County is really too dilapidated."

Huo Guang said: "I think so too, but the problem now is whether to re-select the site to build the county or rebuild on the original basis."

Liu Tan thought for a while and said: "From the perspective of saving money, it must be more appropriate to relocate, but if relocate, it is basically equivalent to relocating the location of the county, which is definitely not suitable for the common people. , try to rebuild on the original county town.”

Huo Guang said: "Then the form of the construction of the county is to follow that of the king's capital, or let them build it on their own?"

Liu Tan said: "Let the magistrate of Dunhuang County choose by himself, it is not compulsory."

Shuofang City is built like this because of its characteristics and security. As a king's capital, it must be well-organized to have momentum. But for other cities, Liu Tan thinks it is best to retain the local characteristics. If tourism can be developed in the future, it can be regarded as a cultural landscape.

If they are all similar to Shuofang City, the only difference is the size of the city, then who would like to go to these cities?

So Liu Tan didn't intend to force other cities in the Northern Territory to follow Shuofang City at all. Anyway, as long as the plan is well planned, they can do whatever they want.

Huo Guang wrote it down and said: "The sheriff of Wuwei County has already selected a place. In the initial stage, a total of seven workshops will be built, three of which belong to His Highness."

Liu Tan nodded: "Okay, let them do it as soon as possible, turn back and weave the fine wool, and the rest will weave the inferior wool first."

This is Liu Tan's own plan, and Huo Guang naturally doesn't care about it, so he asked: "Today, the governor of Zhangye County found the minister and said... he wants to find a way out, otherwise I am afraid that in the future, Wuwei and Dunhuang counties will be divided up. gone."

Liu Tan sneered: "Damn, there is Jiuquan to the west of him, how could Dunhuang divide up his martial power? And his brain is too dull, he is not suitable to be a county guard."

Huo Guang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he suddenly understood why these people dared not go to the King of the Northern Territory to complain easily, and he quickly said: "Your Highness, Your Highness! Now it's time for employing people, and the sheriff of Wuwei County has not developed enough but has succeeded It's not bad, even if His Highness wants to replace him, he will have to wait until there are more talents."

Liu Tan smacked his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Forget it, since that's the case, I'll give him a clear path."

Huo Guang looked at Liu Tan curiously, and he also wanted to know what direction Liu Tan would set for Wuwei County.
