1.63 Building a city first

Quanzhou, "When you spend 80 miles of water spring, you can see the meaning of clear water flowing in spring."

The city is located downstream of the water and water. The city wall is more than seven meters wide (17 meters), divided into two cities inside and outside, all built in rammed earth. The outer city is three miles away, and most of the city walls are destroyed by floods. Now there is only one mile left in the inner city, which is still intact. There is a gate in the southern city wall. In the fourth year of Yuanshou in the Han Dynasty (119 BC), a salt official was established in Quanzhou. At that time, there were 38 counties with salt officials, which were one of them. If there was no flood, it would be a very prosperous city.

"Farm rent and tuition, the benefits of salt and iron." There are gardens in the west of Ji Kingdom and fishing salt in the east. As long as you need to control floods, why worry about not being rich in the world?

It is different from the north-south canal built by Cao Mengde when he was expeditioning Wuhuan. Liu Bei wanted to build an east-west canal. The territory was connected from east to west: Yishui, Yushui, Hutuohui, Jumashui, Shengshui,?Shui, Gushui, Baoqiuhui, and Wushui (Gengshui), and the Zhijin are countless huge water systems, connecting them into one.

Although the water network in the middle of the country is crisscrossing, the nine rivers are divided into three places in the east, middle and west into the sea. It is difficult to connect with each other. According to the original plan, Liu Bei wanted to connect the nine rivers and set up Du Kangze along the way, dig Lidian, Yongnushu, and several other large lakes to regulate the water source. When the water is abundant, the remaining water can be injected into the marsh canals along the canal to prevent floods. When the water is dry, the water in the marsh canals will be irrigated against the farmland to renew the waterway.

Several zeshu in the territory are natural reservoirs. They have a huge role. In the future, wetlands that can play an important role in resisting floods, regulating runoff, purifying water pollution, and conserving water sources are called the kidneys of the earth. This is why.

Swamp is a type of wetland. Later Conventions define wetlands as: "It refers to swamps, peatlands or water areas that do not concern themselves as natural or artificial, long or temporary, with either stationary or flowing, or fresh water, brackish water or saltwater bodies, including waters with a depth of no more than six meters at low tide."

Therefore, wetlands in a broad sense include: rivers, lakes, swamps, coral reefs, etc. In addition, they also include artificial wetlands, such as reservoirs, fish (shrimp) ponds, salt ponds, and rice fields (please note).

Just as everyone regards refugees as a flood, Liu Bei regards them as strategic resources and continues to accumulate. From another perspective, the zoo is also of great benefit. From the west to the east, a lake zoo that is prescribed for miles, dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of miles in the territory is the kidney of Ji State. It is the military farming for Ji State to nourish the people and continue to produce blood.

The so-called "water area with a water depth of no more than six meters at low tide" is replaced by the current statement: "It cannot be opened to cars and horses in shallow areas, and it cannot be carried by boats in deep areas."

Let’s see. The truth has been the same throughout the ages. It’s just a different statement.

When Liu Bei's king arrived, Quanzhou Governor Bing Yuan was busy rebuilding the outer city.

Jue Yuan then accused him of guilt: "I originally wanted to build the city before the lord and the king arrived. However, the world did not fulfill his wish, but it has not been achieved yet."

"It's okay." Liu Bei helped Bing Yuan up: "The great talent in Mingting should be valued. When he moved to this place, he felt guilty."

"Quanzhou is also the land of Ji State. How can we let it wither and ignore it? I am dull and not good at speaking. I am willing to do my best to the king." Bing Yuan bowed again.

Looking around the solid outer city wall, Liu Bei couldn't help but ask: "Quanzhou is located in the south of the water, Gushui River merges, and Giant Horses merged into the north of the Hutuo River. There are natural barriers above and below, which are difficult for thieves to overcome. Since there is no safety, why did Mingting build a city first instead of a pier?"

Bingyuan was stunned: "I all think that building a city is the first priority."

"Oh?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up: "I would like to hear the details."

"Although the three of me and the three were moved to other places, they often had letters. You'an and Ziyu thought that the six counties in Ji State wanted to accept millions of people, except Linxiang, the remaining five counties should perform their duties. Anci was repeatedly invaded by sea and was salted in the soil. It was not suitable for rice to grow alfalfa. Quanzhou has the benefits of fishing and salt, and it also connects with rivers and seas. It is the first choice for the port city. Therefore, it is built first to build a city and then do other things." Bingyuan talked freely.

"Haha..." Liu Bei smiled: "A dragon in the North Sea, it turns out to be true!"

"The lord is wrong, I am ashamed and dare not take it." Bing Yuan bowed and bowed.

After the three of them understood the plot of Dingguo, Liu Bei was not worried but happy. Then he asked happily: "Where is Quanzhou Port going to be built?"

"Look at it, lord." Bing Yuan took a branch in his hand and drew it carefully on the ground. The surrounding mountains and rivers were all in his heart, which showed his good intentions.

"The Gu River goes out of the southeast outside the border, and merges with water in the west, and enters the sea at Quanzhou." First, draw the trend of a river. Bingyuan said again: "The Baoqiu Water merges with water in the east, and then enters the 'Xiaze' in the south, and is more than ten miles from the south, and the 'Peqianze' in the north, and the 'Peqianze' in the north, and the 'South of the south, and the 'Quinu County' in the east, and enters the sea at the east."

Two rivers are like two arms, gathering from the Thousand Miles of Yongnu Soushous. By the way, should Your Majesty simply divide Yongnu County into Ji State, or transfer the entire Thousand Miles of Yongnu Soushous to Ji State? If the Yongnu Soushous are all in the country, the country's borders will be more than a thousand miles. Well, find time to ask clearly.

"The Quanzhou Canal is opened under the city, and the Baoqiu Water is connected to the southeast. You can borrow Xiaze and Peiqian Lake above, and transfer to the Yu(jū) River to the Geng River and Rushui. You can pass through the east-west Li Tiandian to connect to the Juma Water and Hutuo Water. Once the waterway is connected, you will build a dike and open a canal to build a pier and embankment. Water accumulates in the Yongnu Shou, and it will flow into the sea from the east."

"Quanzhou Canal..." Liu Bei's eyes wandered back and forth on this Changtui from northeast to southwest, and then he realized: "This canal connects to the Wushui, Baoqiu, Gushui, ?shui, Giant Horse, Wushui; after connecting the three cities of Yongnu, Quanzhou and Yichang, it entered Dongdian. Then, through the channel excavated by his former Dushuichang, we went south to Hutuo Water, then turned to Zhangshui, and then entered the river through Nanpi."

"That's right!"

Quanzhou Canal is different from Jiguo Canal. Jiguo Canal is a golden waterway connecting Yishui, Juma Water, Holy Water, and Gushui through Fanyang, Fangcheng, Anci, and Yongnu.

Both waterways can connect to the nine major water systems in the territory.

Obviously, in terms of cost, Quanzhou Canal is lower. However, in terms of coverage area and economic benefits, Jiguo Canal, which occupies the middle, is stronger.

Because if you travel to the six counties in the east and west through the Quanzhou Canal in the south, all the cities in the north need to be detoured. Especially from the capital of Ji State, it is too far away from the capital of Ji State. However, in terms of water transportation, there are hundreds of miles of water routes, which is just one day late.

However, the labor and construction cost of this Quanzhou Canal is far lower than that of Jiguo Canal. A bigger advantage is that this canal can pass through Geng River to the Lu River and directly reach the residence of Wuhuan Royal Court in Youbeiping. It can also go out through Rushui to reach Baitan City, and the Baihai shore where the deputy Fuluo family set up Gaoche Wangting. In the long run, the effect of Quanzhou Canal will be greater.

"Why not dig the Quanzhou Canal first and then build the Jiguo Canal." Liu Bei made up his mind.

The problem is that the two great zodiacs of "Xiaze" and "Peqianze" are both north of Yongnu. There is also "Yanfangdian" west of it. "Yanfangdian is hundreds of miles in size, and geese and baiji gather in spring, and there are many shiitake rice in summer and autumn."

Later generations, "Yanfangdian", "Xiaze" and "Peqianze" distributed from west to east, and are now part of the Yongnushu. They are boundless and boundless, with water and sky connected, which is the northern border of Yongnushu.

Just like digging a lid, the Yongnu Shu is shared by several surrounding counties, but not all belong to Yongnu County.
