Chapter 2822: 50 kilometers is not enough, drive 100 kilometers

Among the big islands of Nanhua, Java Island has the most fertile land due to volcanic ash, and has the most developed agriculture. Jinshan Province (Kalimantan Island) has gold and tin, and Sumatra Island is rich in oil and gas resources (palm oil and petroleum. ), Luzon Island has a well-developed planting industry, and there are a lot of gold and silver. The Spice Islands have spices, and Babuhua Island has minerals and plantation economies.

Among the islands, Java Island is the leader and has the largest number of people. However, as Java Island develops, the population is increasing, and the place is too cramped. The problem is that there are more and more problems.

Compared with the other islands, the conditions of Java Island are not particularly good. If Tuao can be established as the capital, it can be established as an imperial capital forever!

Once the emperor said a word, everyone understood it completely, and no one dared to be negligent. It took only three days for Shi Kecheng and Qi Bansun to complete the setting up of the yamen, prepare the office location and go through the relevant procedures, and then set off for Tu'ao Went to field survey.

Nanhua's military and political operations place the first priority on intelligence. Without intelligence, there is no right to speak. Only after field surveys and first-hand information can we advance to the next step.

Action is also Nanhua's characteristic. Before there is no performance, it will leave quietly and rush to Tu'ao without making a big splash.

On the steamer bound for Tu'ao, Shi Kecheng said to Qi Bansun with emotion: "After reading a lot of information, I just realized that His Majesty is the best chess player!"

"How do you say that?" Qi Bansun asked jokingly.

"As early as the new establishment of Tuao, His Majesty strictly ordered not to over-develop and use groundwater, so that the number of immigrants should not be large, and there would be no large-scale construction. Therefore, after we move the mountain, the environment will change, and the impact will be great. The smallest! And as early as more than ten years ago, His Majesty instructed the climate and exploration departments to be permanently stationed in Tuao. Yue Guogong (Chen Zhongji) wanted to cut down the funds of the relevant departments in Tuao, but he couldn’t. He always guaranteed the funds, so we have the detailed information we have today. !"

He consulted the climate, geology, hydrology and other data of various places in Tuao, such as the annual precipitation in the Great Dividing Range, where the mountains are the thickest, where the mountains are the thinnest, where the soil is loose, where there are rocks, and the height of each place. Waiting, I found that the information is very rich and detailed. After tracing the source, I found out that the emperor had started to lay out Tuao a long time ago, which saved a lot of trouble.

You must know that isolated cases cannot be proved, and short-term data cannot be the basis for decision-making. Only long-term data can prove powerful.

"Encountering such a monarch is really a blessing for the country and a blessing for all the people!" Qi Bansun said with deep emotion.

"Do a good job!" The two ministers and engineering, military, financial, civil and other officials set the direction and rushed to the edge of the Great Divide. After landing, they declined the banquet from the local government and started working actively.

Immediate on-site exploration, day and night, day and night, busy looking for a suitable opening position, building a sand table, and repeatedly verifying and deducing whether it is feasible.

Very tired, very hard, very fulfilling, very happy!

Under the blue sky, the cliffs are full of greenery, and life is tenacious.

Overlooking the sea, a vast expanse of blue.

Looking back at the mountains, it's at your feet!

They have to keep on their way every day, carefully investigate, eat military rations at noon,

Wait until the setting sun is like blood, the mountains are silent, and you can rest after a hard day.

The Great Dividing Range is all mountains, there is no human habitation at all, no roads, and you have to climb mountains frequently, so you can't talk about supplies. You have to bring your own, so the food is not much better.

Because they often eat dry food and meat, drink less water, and have no vegetables and fruits, many people have hard stools, and it is very painful to poop.

Shi Kecheng never dreamed that he would fall into such a situation. The low and simple tent was the resting place for a dignitary in Nanhua, far away from the bustling city and his relatives, and only worked and lived in the wild, which was very boring. Very tough, sometimes can't take a shower for a week, and drinking water is also very difficult!

An official who worked in the navy said: "When we were on the ship, we only had two cups of water a day to wash everyone's face and hands. The conditions here are worse than those on the ship!"

The conditions are so poor, but everyone's heart is burning and the work spirit is high.

They encouraged each other, supported each other, and worked hard to complete the errands entrusted by the emperor.

Along the way, they all fell in love with donkeys, because donkeys carry supplies across mountains like walking on flat ground. In some places that are really difficult to pass, they simply carry the donkeys. Even Shi Kecheng also helped. Riding a little donkey.

He said triumphantly: "I have learned how to raise donkeys. After I have done this job, after I retire, I will set up a farm to raise donkeys, make donkey-hide gelatin, and eat it myself!"

Everyone laughed, and they were all overjoyed!

Three months later, they came up with a plan for the first phase and returned to Rising Sun City to report to the imperial court.

On the boat back, Shi Kecheng's face was tanned like an old farmer's, but his body was relaxed. He said to Qi Bansun, "I figured out another thing."

"What's the matter? Cheng Gong can teach me?" Qi Bansun asked.

"Why did Your Majesty wait until today? That's the reason!" Shi Kecheng pointed to the chimney on the steamer.

"Oh?" Qi Ban Sun Jing listened to the following.

"Only by steam power can this large project be completed. If only manpower is used to do it, it will be impossible to complete it in the Year of the Monkey!" The more Shi Kecheng went into this business, the more he felt that the emperor was unfathomable , he said: "We used to go to Tu'ao, and it took a long time to take a sailing boat, and we had to watch the monsoon to sail. Now, we can go and return whenever we want. It's really convenient!"

"Yes, yes!" Qi Bansun deeply agreed.

Still in Ju Ren Tang, the emperor, empress, prince, ministers, and generals gathered for a meeting to listen to Shi Kecheng's report.

He was full of energy, pointing on the map of Tu'ao with a pointer and said: "...After field investigations by ministers and others, it is believed that the vent in the Great Dividing Ridge is feasible and should be located here!"

The pointer pointed at the middle of the big watershed in the upper right corner of the map, and Shi Kecheng said the truth: "I dare you to call it Dongtianmen. The width from east to west~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is about 218. Kilometers, the soil is loose, there are few rocks, and the terrain is low. The highest point is less than 800 meters, and many places are 500 to 600 meters. If it is flattened, the average height is only 511 meters. Standing on the top of Dongtianmen I just feel the cool wind blowing..."

"Shi Qing's house, since the terrain is low and the cool wind blows, the water vapor should be able to pass through. Why is the west side of the Great Dividing Range still dry?" The queen asked softly.

Shi Kecheng has become half a climate expert, and immediately replied: "If you go back to your mother, this is the effect of 'dehydration'!"

He explained: "Although the mountains in the Great Dividing Range are not high, but this series of peaks are turned over, and each mountain is like a dehydrator.

The airflow directly rushes over the mountain peak, dehydrating continuously during the process of turning over the mountain, and the remaining water vapor continues to shed again when passing through the next mountain range, until it reaches the west side, it becomes very dry, and no more water vapor can fall down . "

"It seems that Shi Qing's family came prepared, which comforts me!" The queen said happily.

Shi Kecheng introduced the situation, and then suggested: "Fifty kilometers is not big enough, we should drive 100 kilometers!" 2084/10532228
