As for the fuel, Yuan Huan could only think of coal.
China was rich in coal resources. Except for Shanghai, it was distributed in other provinces and regions, but the distribution was extremely uneven.
There was no coal mining technology at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era. Although it was similar to iron and copper mining technology, a gas explosion was enough to make Yuan Huan give up the mining industry!
It was very simple!
There was an open-air coal mine in Shanxi. Wouldn't it be much easier to find someone to pick up the coal from the basket? Although the journey was a little far, it saved money for research on excavation technology!
More importantly, in his previous life, Yuan Huan had been fortunate enough to go to Shanxi and visit a large-scale coal exhibition. He had a general understanding of Shanxi's open-pit coal mines, which greatly shortened the time needed to explore the mineral deposits!
Saving money, effort, and time, killing three birds with one stone, why not?
After Yuan Huan repeatedly reminded Zhang Zhao of the principle of confidentiality, they returned to their respective rooms to rest.
As the four pests of Xiacai had been removed, Yuan Huan began to carry out urban construction in a bold and decisive manner. The entire Xiacai was filled with ravines. The flood control and drainage pipes were laid bit by bit, and the entire system was rapidly improving.
Many commoners expressed that they did not understand. After all, dust and smoke were flying everywhere every day, which had seriously affected their lives. Some people even reported to the government, hoping to stop the installation of the pipeline!
However, Yuan Hen's attitude was very firm!
The flood control and drainage system was an important project for the people's livelihood. It had to be completed unwaveringly. Therefore, he ignored the opinions of the people of Xiacai and asked for the construction to continue!
Yuan Huan encouraged the people to take the government's side, but he would not indulge them because of this. This was just like how power had to be democratic, but sometimes it had to be concentrated. Otherwise, no matter what, it would be difficult to implement it.
Of course, Yuan Hen did something!
In the places where the pipes had been laid, Yuan Hen sent people to transport large bluestone bricks and covered them with them to pave the roads. Immediately, a clean, tidy, and dust-free broad road appeared in front of them.
The common people liked this kind of clean and tidy streets very much. It made the quality of life of the entire town have a qualitative leap. The common people could feel the beauty, so they could naturally temporarily endure the dust!
On a certain day.
Frowning, Zhou Tai timidly looked for Yuan Huan and said,""My lord! That lowly general!"
Yuan Huan looked at Zhou Tai curiously and sneered,""You Ping, what happened to you? When did she become so bashful, like a girl!”
Zhang Zhao, who was standing at the side, snickered to himself." Is there a need to ask? He must have something on his mind!"”
Zhou Tai scratched his head and chuckled."My lord, military counselor, I do need your help!”
Yuan Hen nodded and asked curiously,""Oh my, our patrol captain also needs help? If you have something to say, say it directly. Don't hide it in your heart.”
Zhou Tai took a deep breath and said,"Lord, this is what happened!"
After some conversation, Yuan Huan found out that Zhou Tai had to patrol for an entire day to complete his inspection because the newly reclaimed wasteland was too large!
Therefore, in order to protect the fruits of their labor more efficiently, Zhou Tai suggested to Yuan Huan to set up sentry towers at key locations and send elite soldiers to guard them in case of any accidents.
Yuan Huan praised sincerely. He looked Zhou Tai up and down carefully, making his hair stand on end.
Zhang Zhao, who was at the side, laughed lightly and said,"You Ping!" You and my lord are thinking the same thing. My lord is discussing with me to set up a special garrison army!”
" That's great!" Zhou Tai said happily." If my lord can do that, that's great!"
This general is willing to incorporate the patrol team into the garrison army. These veterans will train the new recruits, and the yamen will patrol and monitor them daily. This way, if anything unexpected happens, they can also enter the battle in the shortest time possible!”
"Youping, how many sentry towers do you think are suitable? Where do you think is suitable?”
Yuan Hen pushed the blueprint to Zhou Tai's side, gesturing for him to point it out.
Zhou Tai pointed without hesitation."Here, here, and here. These places need to be there. And here, here, and here.”
Yuan Huan and Zhang Zhao looked at the place Zhou Tai had pointed at and nodded."Zibu! In our plan, according to You Ping's suggestion, we should add more sentry towers!”
Zhou Tai was shocked!
"Zi Bu!" Yuan Huan ordered. In a few more months, the rice would be ripe. This matter should be carried out with manpower, material resources, and financial resources. There must be no mistakes!”
