Chapter 6765 Differences and Similarities
Based on the idea that the Han Dynasty's water conservancy construction level is second in the world and no one dares to claim to be first, and that if Persia can build up the Sistan region, then the Han Dynasty can certainly build it too, Chen Xi thinks that the plan of King Li Sang and his group can be promoted.

Besides, the large irrigation area of ​​Sistan covering nearly 100,000 square kilometers is a very important asset to any force. With such a thing, the Cao family has a real foundation.

As for the things that Lao Cao had done before, such as the three million mu large plantation built near Kandahar, close to the middle and lower reaches of the Helmand River, they were pure jokes to Chen Xi.

Three million acres does sound like a lot, and because the three families of Li, Sang and Wang relied on the water network for construction, there was enough water resources and silt available. They also deceived the people of Kuaiji Wang to come and build Leijitai. It can be said that the farmland conditions are extremely good and very fertile, which greatly supplemented Cao Cao's food gap, and there was even enough capacity to build a large sugar factory.

But in Chen Xi's eyes, it is really not worth mentioning. Three million acres converted into square kilometers is only 2,000 square kilometers. The land is fertile and has excellent fertility, but can it be compared with the Ganges?

The Ganges is a complete alluvial plain, where rain and heat occur at the same time and three crops a year are as easy as playing. In such a place, someone like Wang Ke, who is six levels lower in title than Cao Cao, can get 10,000 square kilometers as long as he lives to the time of enfeoffment.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Guang covered his face. If he made some progress in the Ganges and changed his identity, he could get 2,000 square kilometers when the time came to divide the land. Compared with this, Cao's plantation was nothing but a joke.

However, in the past, Lao Cao's route was a plundering route. The Kabul Valley was a good place for farming, and Lao Cao was obsessed with taking over Kabul, and had never thought about construction. The plan that the three big bosses of Li, Sang, and Wang had been thinking about was shelved.

Today, Lao Cao is in trouble and Cao Ang has taken over Kandahar. Influenced by Chen Xi, he has great patience for this long-term construction plan. After all, large-scale and long-term infrastructure can effectively stabilize people's hearts.

There is work to do, food to eat, and a future. As long as they are not born bad, most people are willing to work hard. The important reason why Chen Xi was able to make the snowball roll in Taishan by relying on work-for-relief was that the people who worked had food to eat now and could get the houses they built in the future, right?

Now Cao Ang has simply changed his approach. It may take ten years to build the Sistan irrigation area, but after ten years, he will be able to obtain an irrigation area of ​​about 100,000 square kilometers, of which nearly 80,000 square kilometers are excellent grain-producing land, and the rest of the land can also be used for animal husbandry. With such a range, even if Cao Ang makes an agreement with Wanmin to divide the land at the beginning of construction, he will still make a lot of money later.

After all, 1.5 square kilometers of irrigation area means million mu, which is enough to support Cao Ang to do everything. Even if he fails to take Kabul, Cao Ang can still attack or defend.

And unlike other places, after the construction of the Sistan irrigation area, it will be a basin blocked by plateaus and mountains. Kandahar and Herat guard the east and north, with the Ghan Mountains in the northwest, the Sahad Mountains in the west, and the Makran Coast Mountains in the south.

These mountains are not too high, only about two thousand meters, but just like the Qinling Mountains, although they are not high, it is very difficult to get here, and Sistan is surrounded by these things.

This is also why the Sistan region has been the birthplace of the Persians for a long time, because after occupying it, they can attack or defend, and food is no longer a problem.

Later, around the 14s, the Mongol Khanate fought a series of wars here, completely destroying the irrigation area here. Since then, there has been no one in Central Asia who could integrate and rebuild this area.

After the 21st century, the technology was capable of restoring the Sistan irrigation area, but Afghanistan and Iran could not reach an agreement on the allocation of water from the Helmand River, so construction could not be carried out here.

On the contrary, this problem did not exist in Cao Ang's era, and the construction of the Sistan Irrigation Area was not a one-time project. If part of it was built, it would have some effect, just like the Zhengguo Canal and the Liufu Canal. If some were built, some would be achieved.

Therefore, when Chen Xi received the thing handed over by Liu Ye, he was still very satisfied with Cao Ang. He did not like the idea of ​​mutual plunder. In Chen Xi's opinion, construction is the future.

As for whether this thing requires his own endorsement or something, if it were any other thing, Chen Xi might still weigh it up, but this kind of thing has been confirmed in history and is very effective, and more importantly, it shows the difference between Cao Ang and Cao Cao, so Chen Xi is still willing to help promote it.

After all, letting Cao Cao's forces go to ruin was not in line with Chen Xi's idea. Chen Xi was willing to lend a helping hand with minimal investment, even though this investment might seem a bit large to others.

"I don't agree." Fa Zheng said angrily, "Why are you asked to endorse something? What if you mess it up?"

"If Cao Ang wants to do it, then do it. If he can't do it, then don't do it. He even wrote to you asking you to endorse it. Isn't his mind clear?" This is what Guo Jia meant.

Everyone knows that Chen Xi's reputation is useful, but why should I give it to you? Who do you think you are? Who knows whether you are doing this to build this place called Sistan, or whether you realize that you cannot stabilize Kandahar and are gambling with Chen Xi's reputation.

"I've reviewed the plan. It's a pretty good plan. I should even say that this is the plan I've always wanted to see." Chen Xi exhaled and said, "As for something like credibility, it's not impossible to lend it to the other party. Of course, what you said is right."

After this plan is reviewed and sent back by Chen Xi, Cao Ang will be able to use this plan to stabilize the people of Kandahar. There will be a future and a present, and there is a big boss who has spent twenty years rebuilding the moral system and establishing credibility and is willing to guarantee it. What else can he say?

To put it bluntly, all the things Cao has done since Liu Bachao's launch until now are not as effective in stabilizing people's hearts as what Cao Ang is doing now, because this matter has been approved and agreed by Chen Xi.

With this plan, or this ballast in Kandahar, Cao's soldiers will not rebel, and the pressure and resistance faced by Cao Ang will be much smaller. More importantly, with this thing, Cao will at least have a stable future.

Nothing can calm people's hearts more than a bright future and hope!
"Let me see." Zhuge Liang raised his hand and said to Chen Xi. He needed to see what was written in the plan to make it worthy of such praise from Chen Xi.

"Take a look. You should be the one who understands this the best." Chen Xi did not refuse and handed the yellowed plan to Zhuge Liang, who took it and quickly browsed through it.

Zhuge Liang didn't take too long to finish reading the plan which consisted of dozens of pages, and his expression was complicated after finishing it.

"Zichuan, are you sure you can build it?" Zhuge Liang said with a serious look on his face.

"Yes, the three families have made it very clear in the plan. It will be completely built in about ten years, and will form an irrigation area of ​​more than 100 million mu. Even if there is abnormal climate, it can cope with most droughts and floods." Chen Xi explained briefly that the water of the Helmand River is the meltwater of the mountain snow cap, which is the same as the source of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

This is also the reason why inland rivers like the Helmand River, especially inland rivers located in extremely water-scarce areas, have not dried up in the 21st century. The Sulaiman Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains are saying, who are you looking down on? We have dozens of snow-capped mountains 7,000 meters high here!

"A water conservancy project more magnificent than the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, right?" Zhuge Liang sighed. He had been to Central Asia, so he was very familiar with the terrain there, and also knew the situation in Sistan. If a place like that was repaired, it would become another Chengdu Plain.

"Yes, it is very likely. However, due to the problem of the water network structure, the maintenance cost of this water conservancy project is relatively high. Moreover, compared with the risk resistance of Dujiangyan, this risk resistance is basically the same as that of Zhengguo Canal." Chen Xi made a rough comparison and said.

"But the irrigation area is large, more than 100 million mu." Zhuge Liang said softly. There was no need to stop it. The Li, Sang and Wang families had also conducted very detailed research. Even if there were difficulties, the fact that the three families dared to sign was enough to explain the problem.

"Well, Kong Ming has passed." Chen Xi said to Guo Jia and Fa Zheng. They both raised their eyebrows when they heard it, and then reached out to take the plan from Zhuge Liang.

"You can endorse it, but you need to send someone from Chang'an." Zhuge Liang suggested, "You need to ensure the construction period and the use of manpower. After all, you have endorsed it, so these have to be considered."

Chen Xi nodded. This was a matter of course. Although he was willing to endorse Cao Ang to complete this task, some things still had to be paid attention to. If he just wanted to send someone over, Chen Xi began to think about who to send.

To be honest, no one wanted to send a top water conservancy boss over there, because the Han Dynasty also needed him. In fact, the Han Dynasty was holding on tightly to such high-level technical talents because there were too many places where they were needed.

"When will Weishuo be able to come back?" Chen Xi turned his head to look at Mi Zhu and asked. After the affairs in Xinzhou were dealt with, Liu Yan went back to studying reincarnation. He hasn't figured out anything recently, but he hasn't been seen for a while. When elite technical personnel are needed, Chen Xi thinks of Liu Yan.

"Weishuo and Masinde are working together to screen suitable personnel for training in schools across the country." Mi Zhu answered without thinking.

"Did you find the right people?" Chen Xi asked casually.

"We have obtained a lot, but they still need education. Overall, the efficiency is much higher than before. Visoh is very satisfied with this and is planning to find someone to open a teaching and training base in Luoyang." Mi Zhu thought for a while and said, there has been great progress in the study of reincarnation. Liu Yan has become excited and his efficiency has been explosive recently.

"Why open it in Luoyang?" Chen Xi asked with some surprise.

"If we open it in Luoyang, Xianhe expressed their willingness to contribute part of the funds. If we open it in Chang'an, Weishuo said that there are too many powerful people and they are worried that universities will poach talents before they are trained." Mi Zhu's words were very direct. After all, Chen Xi had already seen this. There was no point in hiding it, so it was better to just say it directly.

Chen Xi looked up and recalled. It was true that the university poaching incident was quite outrageous, especially for the technical university in Chang'an that was built by concentrating the national strength. Now the major families were fighting each other to poach the talents.

What Chen Xi had encountered before, where Yuan Yang besieged Kong Rong, was not a big deal. It could even be said to be relatively civilized. Recently, I heard that several aristocratic families had already had a big fight at the university.

That’s right, I’m talking about the Wang family. It’s different from what Chen Xi had heard before. The knowledge and authority are gone, and no one knows which dungeon Kong Rong was thrown into. The Wang family directly prepared a classic black material for college students, with a big screen playing the image of Yuan Sui taking off his clothes and trying to rape and kill Kong Rong.

The whole world was in an uproar. Although these days people don't care about these things, the Liu family is bidirectional and it's nothing for aristocrats to play around, but Kong Rong refused madly. Then Yuan Sui took off his clothes and rushed forward. What would the students of this university think? Damn it, the Yuan family!

That's pretty much what it means. Who made the Yuan family act like they wanted to lock up Kong Rong? After all, Kong Rong is the vice president of the university, and he solves all the problems of food, clothing and other expenses for the students. He has a considerable status in the students' minds.

As a result, his vice-president was treated like this by the Yuan family. Even though the Yuan family repeatedly stated that they did nothing, and there were even other footage that was shot throughout, it was useless. Prejudice had already been formed.

As a result, the Yuan family is basically finished. Nowadays, there are plenty of places for professional talents to go. Although the old Yuan family is good, they were blackmailed by the old Wang family and there is no explanation. Basically, no one invests in them.

The two old men of the Yuan family were so angry that they wanted to fight to the death with the Wang family. Then the Wang family found an old man older than Yuan Sui from the Wang family of Donghai, and he took a cane and wanted to fight Yuan Sui to the death.

Chang'an was in chaos, but as of now, there is no hope for the Yuan family. They have lost this time.

At this point, Chen Xi also realized that Kong Rong had probably done it on purpose, and that the Yang family, a group of shameless people, had probably already gotten what they wanted and directly sold Old Yuan. It was possible that this group of people had decided to sell the Yuan family from the beginning.

Thinking about the rapid development of the Gongsun family in Central Asia, Chen Xi realized that many wealthy families could no longer tolerate the Yuan family and began to concentrate on holding the Yuan family back.

You don't want to fight with Rome anymore. You want to concentrate on cultivating your inner strength and developing the economy, right? Come on, brothers, let's hold the Yuan family back together!

That's pretty much the situation.

Considering that the university with Chen Xi's background has been messed up like this, it is understandable that Liu Yan did not set up a teaching and training base in Chang'an. There are indeed many powerful people here. Even Chen Xi has to admit this. There are too many!
