Three Kingdoms start to kill Guan Yu

Chapter 481 Hua Xiong: Let me show you something magical
It was already a month after Hua Xiong returned to Guanzhong.

Hua Xiong discovered that he was a life that kept fighting and fighting.

Go out, lead the army on the battlefield, fight the enemy, fight to the death.

After returning, they will fight and fight with their wives and concubines.

can not stop.

Although this kind of fighting is not the kind of life and death, deciding the outcome, but after a long time, it is still unbearable.

A month of hard work, fighting and fighting, Hua Xiong, an extremely tough person, can't stand it.

I feel pain in my back.

Leaving Chang'an this time, it was said that he was going to Zheng Guoqu's place to check the repair speed of Zheng Guoqu in person, but Hua Xiong couldn't afford to fight and wanted to find an excuse to go out slowly.

Hua Xiong, who is able to win every battle on the battlefield, no matter who is blocking the way, can be killed by swiping the three-pointed two-edged knife, can flee. Cai Yan, Diaochan, Wang Yi and others can really do it. Brag about it and be proud of it.

They have done what many princes and generals want to do, but they are unable to do.

Regardless of whether the hard work yielded results, Hua Xiong led his people out.

It's kind of like running away...

In front of Hua Xiong, there are some constructed canals, but there is no water at this time.

Hua Xiong's complexion was not very good-looking.

It was not because the canals built by Ma Jun did not meet Hua Xiong's requirements.

I don't think that Ma Jun's repair of Zheng Guoqu is too slow.

In fact, under today's production conditions, it is very rare for Ma Jun to be able to reach the current progress at this time.

The reason why Hua Xiong looked so ugly was because he suddenly remembered something.

That is the severe drought recorded in history!
Hua Xiong himself had an impression of this severe drought that affected a very large area. There was one reason why he ordered Ma Jun to repair the Zhengguo Canal before.

However, at that time, Huaxiong could not determine the exact year when such a severe drought occurred, only that it was in the last few years.

But now, Hua Xiong has determined the time of the severe drought through some memories.

Not the year after tomorrow, the year after the next year, the year after the next year, or next year!

This severe drought has a particularly wide range of effects.

After Hua Xiong's memory, Lu Bu and Cao Cao stopped fighting because of this.

Here in Guanzhong, disaster victims are everywhere.

The little emperor Liu Xie, as well as some aristocratic families, wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to use food and grass to help the victims.

So as to improve the reputation of the emperor.

And take the opportunity to get some other benefits.

It belongs to serve multiple purposes.

As a result, Li Jue and Guo Si, who held great power, directly robbed the money and food prepared by the emperor, Gongqing and others...

This led to starvation in Guanzhong.

A large number of people who could not survive began to flee.

Many fled to Yizhou, Jingzhou, and a small number went to Liangzhou...

After this incident, Guanzhong was severely injured.

The original Guanzhong was relatively prosperous.

Especially after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, a large number of people came in.

Although these populations died a lot due to various reasons.

But many more survived.

But after experiencing this severe drought, Guanzhong immediately declined.

A large number of people were lost.

It is even smaller than the population before Dong Zhuo moved the capital!
After confirming that the severe drought will happen next year, and remembering how great the disaster caused by the combination of the severe drought and man-made disasters, it would be strange if Hua Xiong looked good.

He is taking care of Guanzhong as his own foundation.

Looking at the present, after allocating fields and land, eliminating aristocratic families, rectifying officials and other means, Guanzhong is now thriving and is developing towards the situation I want.

But now, he is told that there will be an extremely severe drought next year.

Many of the things he has worked so hard to build will be destroyed due to the severe drought...

Under such circumstances, Hua Xiong's mood is almost irrelevant.

Suddenly there was an urge to scold my mother.

Isn't this guy just playing with people?

If the drought happened in the year after, even if it was the year after, Hua Xiong would not be so urgent.

Because the time is long enough, he can arrange various countermeasures relatively calmly.

But the drought will happen next year.

It’s already August, and next year is less than four months away.

Even if the drought is not a spring drought, but a summer drought, it will be less than a year away from this severe drought! !

According to the current repair speed, it is obviously impossible to complete the repair and put the Zhengguo Canal into use before the severe drought occurs.

If Zheng Guoqu cannot be put into use, Guanzhong's ability to withstand drought will be greatly reduced...

Hua Xiong's original good mood disappeared suddenly now.

"See... see... see the general... the general."

Ma Jun came to Hua Xiong in a hurry, saluted Hua Xiong and greeted him.

Ma Jun at this time, compared with Ma Jun when Hua Xiong left Guanzhong, was much darker and thinner.

I don't know if it's because he lost weight and looks taller, or because he has really grown taller. At this time, Ma Jun looks much taller than before.

He was wearing coarse linen clothes with his trousers rolled up high, and many parts of his body were stained with mud.

However, compared with the time when he first met Hua Xiong, the whole person's energy and spirit had undergone an earth-shaking change.

It is no longer the kind of cautious, unconfident, and afraid to speak.

Hua Xiong smiled and stretched out his hand to tell Ma Jun not to be too polite.

After first asking Ma Jun some questions about his life and whether his work was going well, he began to ask Ma Jun when it was estimated that all the repairs of Zheng Guoqu would be completed.

Although Ma Jun's spirit and spirit have changed a lot, he still stutters.

Stuttering is a serious problem.

In this regard, Hua Xiong has no good solution.

I just suggest that Ma Jun speak more. When speaking, don't be in a hurry, try to calm down as much as possible, slow down the speed of speech, and control yourself not to repeat what you said.

After a long time of practice, there may be a certain effect.

According to Hua Xiong's confession, Ma Jun practiced a lot in private.

By this time, he was no longer so stammering.

However, when talking to people, as long as he meets someone who can read, he still likes to use pen and paper instead of language.

"The Zhengguo Canal is more than [-] miles long. This is the main canal. In order to irrigate the fields well, it is necessary to build many large and small branch canals, and the workload is very heavy.

However, with the large amount of labor the General has brought in, the speed has increased a lot.

According to the current speed, it is estimated that it will probably be completed in the autumn of the next year. "

Ma Jun wrote such a paragraph on the paper.

When writing these, especially when he wrote that in the fall of the following year, all Zheng Guoqu canals would be successfully repaired, Ma Jun showed some pride on his face.

After all, it is very rare for such a large amount of work to be completed in such a short period of time.

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiong praised Ma Jun aloud.

When Ma Jun heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Deheng, can you speed up and finish this matter as quickly as possible?"

The smile on Ma Jun's face froze slightly, what do you mean?
General, do you still think that your own construction speed is slow?
All the compliments she had just given were to take care of her own face?

However, I did my best.

It can be said that even if some people who are proficient in large-scale water conservancy construction come to do this work, they may not be as fast as their own construction.

"It's not that you are building Deheng slowly, it's already very fast. It's just that due to some unusual reasons, you need to repair the canal as well as possible."

Hua Xiong looked at Ma Jun and explained, not letting Ma Jun think too much.

Upon hearing this, Ma Jun nodded.

He didn't speak immediately, but began to bow his head and count here.

After doing this for a while, write on the paper: "Up to one month in advance."

Only a month early?

It was too far from Hua Xiong's request.

"If manpower and material resources, I opened up the supply?"

Hua Xiong thought for a while, looked at Ma Jun and said so.

Hearing this, Ma Jun also became more solemn.

Knowing this matter must be very important in General Hua's heart.

Otherwise, he would not have uttered the word of open supply.

Ma Jun didn't dare to neglect, he bowed his head again and calculated.

This time, he calculated for a longer time and was more serious.

Hua Xiong didn't urge him, he just stood here and waited quietly.

After a while, Ma Jun finally finished his calculations.

After hesitating for a while, he wrote on the paper again: "In this case, it will probably be able to advance around September next year."

Seeing this, Hua Xiong frowned.

It is said that this has been advanced enough.

But still not.

In September, the summer grain has already been harvested, and the autumn grain is about to be harvested at this time. Sometimes, the autumn grain has already been harvested, and the land has been plowed to plant winter wheat.

It can be said that next year's harvest has been completely set.

The effects of drought cannot be avoided.

"Deheng, can you bring it forward before March next year?
Before April at the latest. "

Hua Xiong looked at Ma Jun and asked.

Hearing this, Ma Jun showed a look of embarrassment.

Although he really wanted to help General Hua solve this problem and wanted to nod, but he knew that he couldn't nod.

Because he really has no way to solve this matter and advance it for such a long time.

For some things, it doesn't mean that opening up the supply can be quickly built.

"Then you think, where are the restrictions on the speed of canal construction?"

Hua Xiong decided to ask in another direction.

Ma Jun wrote: "There are many places where the soil is not good, it is too loose, and it is easy to collapse.

Needs to be tamped down.

There are many places that even need to be built with stones.

It's troublesome..."

After hearing Ma Jun's words, Hua Xiong's eyes lit up and said: "If we can produce something with very strong adhesiveness, it is very convenient to lay bricks and stones, and it is also very strong.

Even if there is a lack of masonry, you can just use it in large quantities. After drying, it will be like a stone...

If so, when can you advance it? "

After hearing Hua Xiong's words, Ma Jun was taken aback, is there really such a magical thing?
Why don't you know?
