With the "Han Yuechi Road" being overwhelmed, Wuhan's major projects were indeed going to be launched, and not one or two. After several arguments, Zhang De led his men to argue, he decided to stick the "Han Yuechi Road" south of Lake Lu to expand another embankment. .

At this time, the south bank of the Yangtze River was a little different from later generations. It was almost adjacent to the "Han Yue Chi Road". When Lake Lu came down, it was a vast mudflat with a large number of reeds and mud. However, after years of erosion, the river water had gradually moved to the north. After the silt, it gradually formed a large area of ​​sand.

In the center of this sandbar is a waterway. On the south side of the waterway is a vast area of ​​water, shaped like an axe. Therefore, it is called "Axe Lake", but because it is opened into the river, it is also called "Axe Mouth".

The major project Zhang De wants to do this time is to directly circle the sandbanks with dams, so that the "Axe Lake" is completely away from the Yangtze River, and then the narrow waterway divided by the Yangtze River can connect Lake Lu.

In fact, similar preliminary work has been done in recent years. In the southwest of "Axekou", two lakes have been surrounded and dredged. After clearing and flattening the ditches, more than 200,000 mu of land have been added, which is the largest "farm land" in Wuhan. The grain purchased by large households in Puqi County has been purchased from "Niaodu Farm" in recent years.

This Niudu Town is the southwest important town where Wuhan manages Jiangxia Lake and swamps. Starting from Niudu Town, the entire river embankment is trying its best to consolidate the direction of the sandbank, first going east and then northwest. This makes Ezhou a prominent sandbank mudflat like a tongue licking Jiangbei crazy...

No county or county in the south of the Yangtze River does not have the ability to launch such a huge and extremely difficult project, but Wuhan has this qualification.

It is not just a technical issue, but the quantity and quality of the civilians that Wuhan can mobilize, which cannot be understood by the outside world at all.

According to the current population input rate in Wuhan, it will take only ten years to expand to two million permanent resident, which is a foregone conclusion.

Of course, the population of the local population is still very nonsense. Whether it is Hanyang or Jiangxia, it is still a county on the desk of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

It can be called the "Earth Demon City", but it naturally has the scale of the "City".

Some second-generation ancestors from other places who are well-funded, are most willing to do one thing now, which is to "bear one hundred thousand yuan and be romantic in Yunmengzhou", which is a place where people can fly.

The river embankment of "Niudu Town" has been consolidated. After several years of unremitting efforts, the sandbank tidal flats in the downstream near Luhu Lake have become thicker and thicker. By mobilizing the power of nature, it is no problem to add hundreds of thousands of acres of land.

It just takes time to deposit and manpower to invest.

But for Wuhan, the construction of "Axe Mouth" can be started completely turning into "Axe Lake".

The short-term goal of Jianghan Observation Mansion is to expand the scale of "Niudu Town", relying on "Niudu Farm", and directly build a market in the southern area where the Axe Lake is sealed, that is, close to "Hanyuechi Road".

And the size of this market is a county.

In other words, the goal of the Jianghan Observation Mansion is to create a county directly, but because it is necessary to follow the procedures to report to the court and temporarily position a "city" for the time being.

In this way, the pressure of "Han Yue Chi Dao" can be greatly released. The role of this "city" can be used to not only adjust the transit logistics and trade, but also to accumulate population.

Even though the entire Wuhan bureaucratic team has already predicted the future and is extremely advanced in planning, due to the particularity of the times and the unscrupulous plunder of population, the expansion speed of the permanent population has exceeded the speed of urban expansion and development.

If Wuhan had not had the extremely strict management of the middle and lower classes, rather than the free-range management of "imperial power does not go to the countryside", the entire Wuhan area would have already begun to self-destruct, and then harmed the entire Yangtze River according to historical practices.

One of the things that Zhang De was most grateful for was that before he left for Chang'an, he began to cultivate non-mainstream talents. After arriving in Chang'an, he began to dig out the imperialist corners. The focus was on the crotch of the imperial education power, and it did not mix in the strange power struggles of the imperial senior leaders.

The style of bureaucrats or talents in the "Wuhan Group" is so distinctive in this era, but today, Lao Zhang is already in his thirties, but he dares to say that if he talks about famous families, his "Wuhan Group" is the first in the world.

This is also impossible. The large number of officials in the "Wuhan Group" have no talent pool to select. The court can still pick from the "poor families". However, if Wuhan wants to expand into a metropolis with a population of one million, it is almost impossible to rely on a group with family background.

Because most of the situations are self-cultivation and self-transfusion, this leads to the "Wuhan Group" having to join forces to join forces to keep warm or fight together, they are all forced to do it.

There are only two ways to show their ambitions outside of Wuhan. One is that they have a good family background and are not afraid of not having a "confidant" to help them do the work, and the other is that they are kneeling down and only seeking one or half of their positions.

Lao Zhang worked hard for twenty years and had to work hard for all these "upward channels". Naturally, "his own people" could not bear to see outsiders coming over to "pick fruits". The situation of joining together naturally deepened.

But no matter what, the vitality of the entire Wuhan officialdom is still quite good, especially for large projects. Although the phenomenon of "dog biting dogs" occurs from time to time in various departments, it is rare to deliberately "pull the back". After all, many local positions in Wuhan are theoretically only considered "officials", and even just observe the "affiliation" of the adults and do not directly obtain official positions from the court.

Once you make a mistake, you don’t need to go through the Ministry of Personnel. If you have a brief discussion in the office, you will be a ticker.

This time, the incident caused by the "Han Yue Chi Dao" was busy with officials in the government. Although I don't know what regulations the senior management of the government decided, the actions on the market have made many people even more excited.

"You actually want to recruit so many civilians?"

"Even the factory has to be distributed in proportion. This time, it is collected in batches. The first batch of civilians, foot strength, and large workers are actually 50,000!"

"Fifty thousand people..."

"The areas have been divided into sections, each subcontracted, the team leader is ready to start selection, the supervisor has been in place, and there are already many more houses and materials in the "Axe"."

"The quarry in the southeast of the 'Axe' has set off a lot of road. How much does it take?"

Shangguan Tingzhi and Li Yuanxiang, who were interning with the "seniors", looked exhausted at the notice, from shock to numbness to mechanical work, they didn't even have half a year.

If it were the past, Li Yuanxiang would have been shocked when he heard that he had mobilized 50,000 yuan for civilians. What is the concept of 50,000 yuan? This is the first batch. Eating, drinking, defecation, and management are really not something that ordinary people can do.

But in fact, this is not the case in Wuhan. If the government does not say that the management is different, the "civilians" are often not civilians. Most of them do not have Wuhan household registration and are not registered. These people are far easier to use and manage than civilians. As long as the contract area is divided well, from the team leader, the squadron leader to the team leader, they are all orderly and familiar with this process.

Even though some people take advantage of the situation, overall, they are still quite efficient and stable.

This is something that other parts of the court cannot do in any way.

Li Yuanxiang's time to come to Wuhan was too short, and he could not imagine what he had experienced during the founding period of Wuhan that naturally developed to this extent.

Even though he had already started working with Nissan, His Highness Jiang Wang would occasionally fantasize about it. If these 50,000 people were mobilized, they would just go directly to Luoyang and just do something. It would probably be no problem to sweep Jianghuai and Henan, right?

"Is this really going to build a 'city'?"
