Chapter 101: Severing the Dragon Veins
The Hun River originates from Changbai Mountain and winds down.
Now it is the most important road for transporting coal from Fushun. And further up. The muddy river water becomes darker. Even some lakes are black.
In fact, this kind of pollution is not considered black now. In future generations, it will be very conspicuously black when viewed from satellite maps. Both sides of the Hun River are piled up coal mountains, one after another, which is a spectacular sight. This is all coal waiting to be transported.
And behind this coal mountain, there are artificially dug river channels. This is for fire protection.
Because coal piles will spontaneously ignite.
There are many things that you don’t know if you haven’t experienced them. This was after several fires. Just summed up the experience. Dig a channel. Separate living areas from coal mining areas. Of course, the water here is also black.
After crossing this river, there is the accommodation area.
The accommodation area is also built with logs as the foundation and rammed earth on both sides. Very thick. And there is no shortage of coal here at all. Use it however you want. As long as the coal pile is not burned.
Although it is so simple. But it is also where Zhu Yuanzhang will stay this time.
Since we came here, it was already very late. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang also fell asleep in a hurry.
The next day, I didn’t wait for daylight. Zhu Yuanzhang stood up. He Xi could only follow immediately. this
The first thing Zhu Yuanzhang had to look at was the coal mining surface. The coal mining surface is a narrow strip of land one mile wide and about three to four meters long, which is more than ten meters deep underground. Dig in layer by layer from both sides. If you look down from the sky, it's like the earth opens a black eye.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood on a high place and looked down at this huge eye and said: "Is this the largest open-pit coal mine in Northeast China you mentioned?"
He Xi said: "No. This is just the beginning. At about this position, the coal seam dropped fifty or sixty meters, and the deepest point was about a hundred meters. Later, the Japanese lifted up this bottom layer, forming a An open-pit mining area with a radius of nearly ten square kilometers.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The soil layer tens of meters thick has been lifted?"
He Xi said: "Exactly. Even these rocks are shale oil ores. The Japanese also extracted a lot of oil from these rocks."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath. I was shocked by this power to change the world.
to be honest. It’s not like Zhu Yuanzhang has never seen big scenes. He also knew the measurement unit of later generations, the so-called meter. I also know how much earthwork this is. It can be said that this project is even larger than Zhu Di's project to build Beijing City.
And this is still a coal mine.
He really felt the huge gap in productivity. Youyou sighed, all the luck in his heart. All disappeared without a trace.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you know why I come here?"
He Xi said: "Coal and iron are the most important foundation of industry. Your Majesty wants to come and take a look."
Zhu Yuanzhang said; "Although it is important, there is no need for me to come and see it. As long as you are here, it doesn't matter whether I come to see it or not. After all, only you can do this."
He Xi said: "What does your Majesty mean?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The world's dragon veins come out of Kunlun and are divided into three. They are called North Dragon, Zhonglong and South Dragon. The Zhonglong one comes from Guanzhong to Heluo. Once it reaches Kaifeng. This is the orthodoxy of China. The North Dragon one comes from Mobei. The mountains, Yanshan, and even Changbai Mountain. This is the remnant of the Yi Di. The Southern Dragon goes south along the Yangtze River and finally ends in Nanjing. It is just the so-called Southern Dynasties. Therefore, although Nanjing is the seat of the emperor, it is the tail of the Southern Dragon, with a deep twilight atmosphere. The dynasties in Nanjing. The country did not last long. As for Lin'an, we waited and waited. At the beginning of the founding of the country, I hired magicians from all over the world to seek ways to govern the country and stabilize the country. At that time, I thought about moving the capital to Xi'an and Luoyang, and once sealed Kaifeng as Beijing. It is the orthodoxy of connecting China. However, it is broken everywhere. The earth's veins have been exhausted. It is not enough to rule the world. I spent a lot of effort to build Fengyang, the central capital, to connect the dragon's veins in the world. But in the end, it was not possible. "
"Look at the situation in the next six hundred years. The Northern Dragon will always be better than the Southern Dragon. And the Tatars originated at the foot of Changbai Mountain. Although you have killed all the so-called Aisin Gioro lineage. However, the prosperity of a clan is not It depends on man-made things and the atmosphere of the land. This is why I want you to open up Liaodong. Although the Northeast is a deserted place, it will look at hundreds of history books in the future. There is dragon energy in the Northeast, which is also the purpose of my visit this time. "
He Xi didn't know how to react after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
There is something in the bones. It's very difficult to change.
Just like Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang never believed in ghosts and gods. Gein conquered this world by himself. He didn't feel that he had any help from ghosts and gods when he was conquering the world. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang sealed the city god and the gods in various places, it was only to govern the people. Let the people believe in gods and karma. etc.
Very convenient to manage. Zhu Yuanzhang himself didn't believe it at all.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had some faith in Xuanzhi, Xuanqi luck, dragon veins and other Feng Shui techniques, as well as divination. Even after He Xi arrived, he taught Zhu Yuanzhang a lot of scientific knowledge. Zhu Yuanzhang himself also learned a lot. But it did not change Zhu Yuanzhang's belief. On the contrary, it became deeper.
Because there is a question that He Xi cannot explain, that is, how did He Xi come to this world?
Zhu Yuanzhang explained himself as destiny.
It's like Jiang Ziya descended from heaven and opened up the country for 800 years. The arrival of He Xi was also a warning from fate to Zhu Yuanzhang. This is why even though Zhu Yuanzhang was very afraid of He Xi, he even had murderous intentions more than once. The reason for finally giving up.
Because destiny cannot be violated.
Of course. He Xi didn't know this.
However, he knew that he could not convince Zhu Yuanzhang in this regard. After all, even if he succeeds in the imperial examination in later generations. There are still many successful people who believe this. It’s no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang also believed in this. Persuasion is useless.
He Xi could only follow him and say: "Your Majesty came to Liaodong -----?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Break the dragon's veins." Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was firm, but then he softened his tone and said, "Many people in later generations said that I ordered Liu Ji to cut off the dragon's veins in the world and expose Changbai Mountain alone. I myself know that there is no such thing. Even in the Before this, I didn't know that this dragon vein could be broken. Over the years, I have gathered wise people from all over the world. I came to the conclusion that it is impossible to break the dragon vein. The seal dragon vein is naturally long, where all things are created, and people with their insignificant bodies are in it. How is heaven and earth different from ants? How can they do such a thing? However, the dragon's veins cannot be cut off, but there are ways to suppress one or two. For example, Qin Shihuang opened the Qinhuai River and vented the Jinling King's Qi. The Jinling King's Qi was suppressed for hundreds of years. After that, he rose again. Now I have to do the same thing. You know, where the Manchus entered the pass, where is the imperial mausoleum?"
He Xi's heart moved and she said, "Is it near Shenyang?"
He Xi didn't care where Nurhaci and Huang Taiji were buried. He just made a simple inference. After all, Shenyang is the old capital of the Manchus. Both Nurhachi and Huang Taiji died in Shenyang City, and they would definitely not be buried far away.
He Xi didn't care about this. Zhu Yuanzhang cared very much.
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Yes. It's not far nearby. I'm here to explore this hidden dragon vein and cut it off. This is why I want to bring the fourth child here."
He Xi was stunned and didn't know what the secret was.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I am the founder of the country. The fourth son also has the emperor's order. It is enough to suppress the situation. There are also Zhang Tianshi, Quanzhen Longmen Sect, and more than a dozen sect leaders who are following secretly. They must be foolproof."
He Xi's mouth opened and closed slightly. Finally, he said: "I wish your Majesty immediate success."
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that He Xi didn't believe this. He couldn't explain it clearly to He Xi. After all, there is a generation gap between the two sides that spans hundreds of years. He said he couldn't understand it. However, if Zhu Yuanzhang is telling He Xi now, He Xi will naturally be needed. If he is not needed, there is no need to tell He Xi at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You will go with me this time. Firstly, you are familiar with Liaodong, and many things need to be done by you. Secondly, I will also borrow your destiny."
He Xi was stunned again. He was too surprised today. The expression on his face was almost running out. Said: "What is my destiny?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What do you mean by your destiny? There are so many people in the world. Why did you travel through time? Is it you and not someone else?"
He Xi smiled bitterly in her heart. He thought to himself: "In this case, I am indeed destined to be extraordinary."
