    ¡°Pangu created the world, and China established its foundation Hey!¡±

    ¡°King Yu controlled the floods and made nine tripods of bronze Hey!¡±

    "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of Xia, Shang and Zhou, hundreds of schools of thought gathered during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods Hey!"

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The spring breeze blows, the ice and snow melt, and the trickle of water moistens the earth. When the tender grass breaks out of the ground and the earth turns green again, the project to repair Luoyang City begins!

    The scale of the project is huge, with more than 300,000 manpower invested. There are refugees brought from Hebei, civilians recruited from various counties and counties, and soldiers sent by the imperial court. Under the command of officials of all sizes, they shouted  The ancient labor chants are busy on the construction site!

    When the project started, problems began to arise. First of all, the houses were seriously damaged and tents were in short supply. In desperation, the villagers had no choice but to sleep in the wilderness, using the sky and the earth as their beds, the sun and the moon as their companions, lighting blazing bonfires, and communicating with each other.  Lean on for warmth!

    Secondly, Luoyang was severely deserted and could not provide enough food. It had to be raised from various places. Due to the impact of the war and road problems, it was very difficult to transport food. If it was distributed to hundreds of thousands of people, it would be a drop in the bucket. In order to fill the stomach,  , have the strength to work, people continue to lower the ration standards!

    Wheat cakes, rice bran, beans, wild vegetables, leaves, grass roots everything that can be eaten is collected, and after a little cooking, it becomes the main food of the people. If you can catch a few hares and mice,  That¡¯s an appetizing meal!

    There are also tools used for construction, which are also so shabby that it is heartbreaking. In this era, there is no mechanical equipment or heavy trucks. There are only primitive tools such as shovels, shovels, pliers, and hammers. They rely on people¡¯s flesh and blood to survive.  Little by little they were knocking rocks, moving soil, and some even died of exhaustion on the construction site!

    The environment was harsh, food was insufficient, and tools were crude. Faced with all kinds of difficulties, people still burst out with great enthusiasm. They did not need the supervision of officials at all. The peasants sweated and worked for more than eight hours a day. The most important thing is that no one complained.  Even though I was tired, no one escaped. This is unique among the projects in the past dynasties!

    Only those who have experienced war know the value of peace. Only those who have seen the destruction of cities will be more enthusiastic about construction. In the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people, they are building not just a Luoyang city, but a beautiful home for them in the future!

    ¡°Thousands of horses and troops, galloping around, peerless generals, fierce battles on the battlefield none of them can compare with the sweat of the common people. Construction is always greater than destruction, and it is more heartfelt and impressive!¡±

    Looking at the bustling labor scene, Xiao Yi couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. The war in China continues, and many civilizations have been destroyed. However, the descendants of Yan and Huang have repeatedly risen from the ruins, relying on diligence, intelligence, hard-working spirit!

    In the vast history, there have been many brave and capable peoples, including the Huns, Turks, Mongols, and Jurchens in the east, the Romans, Macedonians, Aryans, Gauls, and Slavs in the west  , with their bravery, they all established huge empires, but they were short-lived and soon disappeared without a trace!

    Only the Han nation in the East is brave and industrious. In addition to fighting on the battlefield, they can also endure hardships and know how to build their homes. Therefore, we have the Great Wall that stretches thousands of miles, the Grand Canal that connects the north and the south, and the four great inventions that have influenced mankind  Thousands of years have passed, and China is still China, proud of the world and immortal!

    There are thousands of emotions, compassion for people, sorrowful tears, and finally useless-it is a white-faced scholar!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The only one who can solve countless difficulties one by one when encountering countless difficulties is the iron-blooded army!

    Difficulties are for customer service, not for sighing. Xiao Yi used his brains and used the wisdom of the time traveler to start solving various difficulties. If the tent is not enough, then dig a tunnel and choose a place with thick and dry soil.  Dig a pit three feet long and a mile wide, spread hay underneath, and cover it with branches above to keep out the wind and keep warm. A dozen people can live there without being crowded!

    If food was insufficient, he would find a way to raise it. Xiao Yi used his personal connections to contact the Zhen family in Hebei, the Liang family in Jixian, and the Mi family in Xuzhou. He asked the three major chaebols to help, and they spent a lot of money to purchase grain from all over the country, and then let the caravan  Send it to Luoyang City!

    At the same time, Xiao Yi led thousands of soldiers in the army to launch a large-scale hunting in the Beimang Mountains. In the royal garden at that time, because no one hunted, wild beasts multiplied rapidly, including tigers, jackals, goats, elk  They gather in groups, just to supplement nutrition for the people. How can they do high-intensity physical work without eating meat!

    If the tools are crude, then you can invent them yourself. After all, you are a person who has gone to college. The basics areThere is no problem with the knowledge of mechanics, but heavy trucks cannot be built. Using the sliding principle, it is no problem to build a few gantry cranes. There are also shovels, dump trucks, ash buckets, iron foam They are all inventions that transcend the times, simple and efficient.  It was so easy to use that people were stunned. Some craftsmen even painted a portrait of Xiao Yi, worshiped him in the morning and evening, and called him 'Master Craftsman!'  ¡¯

    Small problems have been solved, but there are still three major problems that are bothering everyone and affecting the progress of the project:

    First of all, in order to repair Luoyang City, all parts of the country are raising materials, and then transporting them along the Yellow River waterway and landing at Luoshui Wharf. The problem is that there is still more than thirty miles from the wharf to the Luoyang construction site, and so many materials must be transported.  Materials are not an easy thing!

    Secondly, repairing a huge city requires a lot of wood and loess, and these things also need to be transported, especially giant logs that grow deep in the mountains, making them difficult to cut down and even more difficult to transport!

    Finally, Luoyang has been ravaged by war, and there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere. If you want to build a new city, the ruins must be cleaned up, and a lot of manpower is needed to transport them!

    Someone has estimated that the three transportations combined would require at least 300,000 civilians and would take more than two years to barely complete. As for the money and food consumed, it would be countless!

    "The supplies are all piled on the dock, and there are not enough vehicles to transport them. I have to ask the Grand Sima to make a decision!"

    "There are not enough logs, there is also a shortage of loess and stones, and the progress of the project is seriously delayed. What should we do?"

    "At the current rate, we won't be able to repair Luoyang City even if it takes ten or eight years!"

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Hundreds of officials, big and small, all came with sad faces, and some even brought ropes. The problem could no longer be solved, so they had no choice but to hang themselves in a crooked tree, unable to face the expectant eyes!

    "Why are you all so panicked? It's just a small difficulty. If you use your brain a little, you can come up with a solution In ancient times, there was a taboo on horse racing, but now there is a sudden change!"

    While speaking, Xiao Yi threw out a blueprint, and then looked at everyone with pride. As a time-travelling clan, he has a sense of superiority!

    It turned out to be a topographic map of Luoyang, with rivers, mountains, flat landthe terrain was clearly high and low. There was also a red line drawn on it, marking the dams and sluices. It looked like a canal!

    The project in Luoyang is tight, and manpower is already very tight. Now allocating manpower to dig a canal will make things worse. Looking at Da Sima's appearance, it doesn't look like a prank. Could there be a deep meaning in it?

    "Da Sima had a wonderful idea to use the water flow to transport various supplies. It is really a good way to achieve multiple goals with one stone!"

    After a while, Cao Zhi was the first to understand. Holding the drawing in his hand, his whole body trembling with excitement, his eyes full of admiration, he pointed to the route of the canal and explained it to everyone

    Xiao Yi's method is very simple, which is to dig a canal, starting from Luoshui Wharf, passing through Beimang Mountain, and then entering Luoyang City to connect the three places. In this way, the ships transporting supplies can go directly to the construction site, saving money.  The pain of human transportation!

    The huge logs cut down in the Beimang Mountains can also be tied into rafts and sent down the river directly to Luoyang City without any manpower. There is also a lot of excavated loess that is used in construction projects.  trouble!

    Finally, after the various projects were completed, all the broken bricks and tiles in Luoyang City were filled into the canal. The garbage was disposed of, and the smooth road was restored, allowing cars and horses to drive!

    "Da Sima is really a man from heaven. Such a method that achieves multiple goals with one stone is both convenient and labor-saving. The restoration of Luoyang City is just around the corner!"

    After figuring it out, the officials, big and small, fell to their knees one after another. They were really convinced and admired. The most important thing was that they didn't have to hang themselves!

    If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, build cities, and dig rivers. All other projects are suspended. Hundreds of thousands of people gather together and start digging canals. Even Xiao Yi puts on coarse clothes and joins the work with a shovel.  , not to mention how much work can be done, at least it can boost morale!

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Boom!Boom! Boom!"

    ¡°The gate is openlet¡¯s release the water!¡±

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    With people united, Mount Tai can move, not to mention a canal of dozens of miles. A month later, amidst the loud sound of gongs and drums, the canal was finally dug!

    The water rippled and the boats rowed. Through this canal, various materials were continuously delivered to the construction site. With the help of new tools, the progress of the project immediately accelerated. According to optimistic estimates, Luoyang can be built in about a year and a half.  Basic outline now!

    "Report! The Prime Minister's Office has issued an order. It is extremely urgent, and the Chief Sima has been summoned to return to Xuchang to discuss major military affairs!"

    When the project was in full swing, a Hongling messenger appeared. The highest-ranking Babaili rushed directly into the Chinese army's tent with a red copper token in hand!

    Xiao Yi did not dare to neglect, and immediately took the military newspaper, unfolded it and looked at it carefully. There were only eight words on it - "Shanyue rebelled, Jiangdong was in chaos!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com)nbsp; "Report!
