Chapter 628 Important people and land(2/2)
Yang Fan walked out of the cabin and came to the bow of the ship, and heard Cheng Mingzhen sigh: "This is the world-famous Guozhou. It has cliffs in the sky, a stronghold on the river, fast currents, and dangerous terrain. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
"
Yang Fan looked down and was shocked that Cheng Mingzhen had such knowledge.
According to "Shui Jing Zhu" records: "The river flows out of the gorge, flows southeast, and reaches Jinggu City Island. The island is attached to the north bank, and the head of the island is called Guozhou. It is two miles long and one mile wide. There is a step to explain the ancient city above, and the radius is called the island.
The week is a little full."
The sounds of "Guo" and "Ge" are similar, so it was called "Gezhouba" in later generations.
Gezhouba Power Station has become the largest power station in Huaxia in recent decades. This is a treasure land.
Cheng Mingzhen could see the value of this place, and it was indeed well-deserved.
I originally thought that this guy was a tough guy and just a strong general, but it seems that he judged people by their appearance!
Looking at Cheng Mingting's strong figure, which is not inferior to Xi Junmai's, I thought he was just a strong man with strong muscles and brains, but I completely forgot that he was a scholar.
Cheng Mingzhen felt a little guilty when he saw Yang Fan's surprised eyes.
He simply wanted to show off and attract Yang Fan's attention.
Could it be that this Mr. Bangchui was dissatisfied?
Yang Fan turned his head, looked at this ancient historical site, and said in his heart: "What you don't know is that more than 1,000 years later, later generations built a hydropower station here to provide a steady stream of electricity for the construction of New China. It can be said that
It is an extremely important strategic resource!”
Under the command of the guide, the fleet bypassed the rapid river water and merged into the waterway on one side.
Guozhou is surrounded by waterways. It was also an ancient battlefield where warriors and horses fought to the death. However, with the unification of the world, it has now been abandoned.
On both sides are mountains and rivers rising from the plains. The trees in the mountains are green and beautiful.
There are low-lying areas near the river in the northwest, the ridges in the north are steep, and the southern foothills are lush with trees and pavilions, which must have been a gathering place for celebrities.
"The water here is too strong and many boats have had accidents. Please be careful."
Seeing Yang Fan's interest, Quan Wanji quickly reminded him.
Yang Fan raised his head and looked at the surrounding mountains, then at Guozhou Dam behind him, and asked: "Is this place within the fiefdom of His Highness King Wu?"
"It is under the rule of His Highness King Wu."
Yang Fan waved his hand and ordered: "I will write a letter to King Wu immediately, asking him to place this area under the jurisdiction of the Maritime Yamen, and Junyangfang will be responsible for paying for the construction of a power station for use."
Just kidding, this was the largest power station in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Is there anything more stupid than leaving such a strategically located place unused?
As a long history officer, Quan Wanji naturally knew that his family Yang Fan had a close relationship with His Highness the King of Wu. With just one word from Yang Fan, it would be easy to conquer a barren land.
What's more, this is not Yang Fan's request, but it is placed under the name of "Maritime Yamen Jurisdiction".
By the way, the whole world knows that Yang Fan is in the heart of the emperor, not to mention that Yang Fan only wants a useless river dam?
Although they don't know what a power station is, no one dares to question Yang Fan's words.
For the rest of the trip, everyone was no longer interested in starting, and one or two of them became very sick.
There was no other way, Yang Fan could only find a pier to dock.
As soon as Yang Fan spoke, the crew members disembarked one after another.
Both Yang Fan's guards and the concubines of various major families were organized by Yang Fan according to the military organization of later generations. Ten people were in a column, five columns were in a team, two teams were in a company, and company commanders, battalions, and regiments were respectively set up...
On this trip to Jiangnan, Yang Fan personally led a convoy of more than 1,500 people.
In addition to a part that went to Quanzhou to escort the engine, the rest of the guards and an entourage composed of concubines from major families followed Yang Fan.
When Yang Fan's leading boat gradually slowed down and stopped, a group of entourage behind him scrambled to get off the boat, which made Yang Fan's head hurt.
I thought to myself, when I wait for Huating Town, I will train these dandies to death.
These people are all the most difficult to deal with in the major families. If they are trained to death, they will become good helpers.
These bastards from aristocratic families had no idea that their end was coming, and they lay staggering on the ground as soon as they got off the boat.
It's not that these people are of low quality and don't understand etiquette. Most of them are children of aristocratic families, and all kinds of etiquette are taught by experts.
It's just that most of these people have never been on a boat. They have been on a boat for more than ten days. The journey is more than a thousand miles?
It’s really hard for these dandy boys to persist until now.
