Anyuan is very capable. It's no problem to give him the deputy department. If it wasn't for Anyuan's long-term presence, he didn't know much about the center of gravity of China, and he even wanted Anyuan to become the main department.
Anyuan has a lot of experience in construction. He presides over the construction of many places. It's just right for Zhang Yu to let him take charge of the canal.
Zhang Yu took Anyuan and went straight back to the capital.
After returning home, Anyuan wants to take office immediately. Zhang Yu stops him. Zhang Yu asks him to walk around the city for five days, go to the Academy for five days, read materials for five days, and arrange the rest half a month by himself. He can only take office after one month.
Anyuan is talented, but he has been abroad for many years. He needs to get to know Huaxia again. Today's Huaxia is very different from the past.
Anyuan has no choice but to comply with the order.
After he came back, he also actively went to get to know about it. With this understanding, he realized that there were too many changes and that he needed to learn too much. Even Anyuan thought that he was not qualified for the post of vice minister.
Anyuan wandered around the city for a few days, especially in pubs and teahouses.
It's changed a lot.
He had not read the semimonthly before, and then he began to read it after collecting more than ten.
"My Lord is so wise that he managed the empire so well."
After a period of time in the capital, he realized how powerful the empire is now.
Of course, he had a good idea of the wealth he brought back from Fusang. It was too much. He had at least a hundred million silver dollars a year.
There will be even more. Fusang is not only a silver mine, but also a lot of copper mines and other gold and silver mines.
These huge wealth made the Empire develop rapidly.
Anyuan was filled with emotion that the Empire could develop so fast.
Now it's all the layout of provinces, cities and counties, and it will be stable for a long time in the future.
Twenty days later, Anyuan came into contact with the canal information given to him by the College of engineering.
"President Zhang, it's not very difficult to dig more than 1000 Li. It's just to dig in sections without deviation. The rest is to manage the workers and logistics well." Anyuan said to the dean of engineering college.
President Zhang nodded and said: "segmented excavation can really complete the task faster. Some counties along the way can help us a lot. In addition to recruiting long-term workers, we can also recruit some farmers in the nearby leisure time."
"These temporary workers, calculated by the day, give money on the spot, and no matter what they eat, give more money for one day's meals. In this way, we can not only save costs, but also dig the canal faster."
President Zhang's proposal was immediately adopted by Anyuan.
"Very good, you just need to send some students to survey along the way, don't deviate, others will organize nearby people to start digging."
Anyuan plans to arrange professional construction teams for those far away from the city, while those near the city recruit a certain number of temporary workers every day.
When temporary workers come, they don't have high requirements. Let them start to work. As long as they provide good tools, they can settle their wages directly when they are finished.
This method is very good. A person only needs more than ten copper coins a day.
Even if you ask them to help transport the soil, or dig the soil, there is no difficulty at all, they are competent.
The president said, "in fact, your majesty has asked us to plan more than one canal."
President Zhang spread out another map and said, "we have planned a total of four canals from Luoyang to the East and so on."
Anyuan has a look at it. There are other canals.
The canal could connect several water systems, which was very important to the Empire.
"These were all confidential before. Your majesty is afraid that people in the world will accuse him, so he dare not publish them, but they have been planned."
"This time, if we have enough experience to dig other canals with the lowest cost, your majesty will certainly agree."
President Zhang very much hopes to dig other canals and make them public to Anyuan. Anyuan has enough qualifications to read these materials.
"It's true that the amount of work is large, but before this canal is opened, it's absolutely forbidden to dig other canals at the same time."
Anyuan understands that there are too many imperial projects nowadays. The roads follow the city, and a batch of them will be built. I'm afraid there will be construction sites everywhere in the past three years.
In this case, if we continue to recruit people to dig, the Empire will not be able to bear it.
In the south, Zhang Yu also cultivated a large number of farmland, which also needed to build many canals.
This is one project after another. Although the empire is strong, it cannot do so.
President Zhang wanted to build it very much, but he knew the difficulties.
"Lord an, it can't be repaired at the moment, but please pay more attention to talents. When this is finished, we will ask your majesty to build other projects."
Anyuan nodded, he can see clearly, these canals are very important.
"President Zhang, don't worry, but you can survey all the lines first, and find out the difficulties. By then, they will start to dig the difficult areas half a year in advance." Anyuan said.
President Zhang and Anyuan began to study. At this time, Anyuan had a deeper understanding of Zhang Yu's strategy.
He predicted that it would take ten years to dig all the holes.
Now that the country is strong, a large number of people can be recruited to dig.
Anyuan said: "Your Majesty is brilliant. I'm afraid he won't just satisfy these needs. In the future, he will repair all the roads in the world. I'm afraid you have to prepare in advance and cultivate relevant talents."
Zhang Yuan Chang laughs. Zhang Yu has no support for them.
Zhang Yu directly allocated 10 million yuan to them from the beginning, but it hasn't been used up yet.
What they use most in their academic research is to go out for investigation, buy field equipment, and hire labor to live and eat.
If, as Anyuan said, Zhang Yu had to build all kinds of roads after he finished the canal construction, the amount of work would be really huge, and they had a lot of work to do.
They decided on some plans and studied them for a few days.
After a month's life in Beijing, Anyuan has a good understanding of his work.
This is a new era, he confidently went to find Zhang Yu and asked to start.
For more than a month, Zhang Yu has gathered the information of fund-raising.
"Yes, 36 million, better than expected."
This time, Zhang Yu raised a total of 36 million yuan to speed up the construction of the canal.
Anyuan comes to find Zhang Yu with a map.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to go and organize the construction of the canal immediately." Anyuan said.
"Well, an Qing's family has been used to it for a month?" Zhang Yu asked.
"Thank you for your concern. My subordinates have adapted."
Zhang Yu nodded, and then went to prepare the relevant edicts and documents.
This time, Zhang Yu assigned 500 guards to Anyuan, and asked that 50 of them must follow him all the time.
Anyuan is a talented person. It's not so easy to dig a canal. Especially after recruiting hundreds of thousands of people, accidents are not allowed.
