Nongmen's elder sister-in-law is the richest in the world

Chapter 878 The husband and wife both made famous and a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes
By now, the name of Shen Zhan had been known by many people in the Yamato Dynasty, and the name Shen Zhan Desert God of War could not help but become famous.

When the people talked about Shen Zhanju, they all stretched out their thumbs and exaggerated how brave this national hero was in chasing the Huns like a miracle, and how he rode thousands of miles into the enemy army alone and assassinated Tuoba Mountain Ghost, the Huns. Wang is so powerful, and there is a legend that an arrow can kill an opponent at a distance of half a mile.

Because of He Shiyu's shouting on the battlefield, the people not only called him God of War in the desert, but also called him Shen Yanluo proudly. At that time, this meant that Shen Zhan was like the King of Yama of the Huns.

At the same time, Shen Jianwan was controlling water in Taohua County at this time. One of their husband and wife killed the enemy at the border to defend the family and the country, and the other worked hard for the people's livelihood in water control. For a time, the people couldn't help but praise their husband and wife, and the husband and wife immediately became more popular among the people Yes, it is said that the two are a match made in heaven.

At this time, sweet potatoes also began to be harvested on a large scale, and their yields were higher than expected. In such a dry weather, the ten prefectures headed by Ding'an Prefecture, which planted sweet potatoes, even yielded more than [-] catties per mu. The yield per mu has even reached [-] catties!

After the harvest of this batch of sweet potatoes, the food shortage problem of Yamato Dynasty was solved in one fell swoop, and there was even a surplus of food.

For a while, Shen Jianwan's voice in the folk became louder.

At this time, Shen Jianwan learned about Shen Zhan's deeds from the big guy, and also received the "report" letter sent by Master Shen himself. She frowned and was extremely worried about the other party's safety.

I heard that Shen Zhan killed all the Xiongnu cavalry who came to Yamato to burn, kill and loot. He also single-handedly assassinated the Tuoba Mountain Ghost in Shangda Desert and fought the most ferocious two feet to drive all the Huns out of the Tianyan Mountains. She was proud to see him late, but she was even more worried about his safety, but there was nothing she could do.

She knew that her brother Shen Zhan was all about making contributions at the border so that he could have the opportunity to return to Ding'an and have enough power to protect her and her family, so she had to work harder to make them reach the strength they needed as soon as possible.

So with this kind of heart, Shen Jianwan worked very hard in water control in Taohua County. In addition to digging Qianshi Mountain, she also had people dig the river channels of the tributaries of the Liangjiang River at the same time, and began to use bamboo cages filled with large and small stones to sink the Liangjiang River. A small island was built at the bottom of the river to divide the Liangjiang into two, and the water of the Liangjiang flowed into the eastern side of the river.

In addition, she also used the same method to build another dam near the source of the Liangjiang tributary opened by Liangjiang water into Qianshi, and several projects were carried out at the same time according to strict plans.

Among them, the role of the Qianshi Mountain and the tributaries of the Liangjiang River is not to be mentioned. The purpose of building a small island in the Liangjiang River is to divide the Liangjiang into two parts according to the ratio of four to six.

Because the riverbed of Liangjiang is just opposite to the ground, it is low in the east and high in the west, and the water flows down, so the river water from upstream is bound to flow into Jiangdong first, so that this small island can be used to force the Liangjiang water into the Jiangdong side.

Moreover, the flow rate of the upper layer of the river is faster, and the water in the upper layer will flow into the east of the river first, because the river sand is heavy and the water in the upper layer has little river sand, and the river sand sinks in the lower layer of the Liangjiang River. The riverbed will not be blocked by the accumulation of river sand in the future.

As for the water flowing to Jiangxi, a part of it is divided to go to Jiangdong, so it can suppress the outbreak of floods in the future, and its sand and stones will also form beaches on the riverside.

As for the construction of a dam near Qianshishan where Liangjiang water is injected, it is also to divert the river water again. The reason is the same as that of a small island. As long as they control the height of the dam, they can control the amount of water entering the opening of Qianshishan again. When the river water exceeds Liangjiang As long as the tributary can carry the range, it will overflow and flow back to Jiangxi, and what the Jiangdong side also needs is the upper layer water, which once again plays the role of removing sediment.

It can be said that the construction of this small island in the river and this dam will control the amount of water and sediment flowing to the east of the river in the future, so that the riverbed on the east side of the river will not be blocked, and the water volume of the Liangjiang branch will not exceed its bearing range and cause floods.

As for the diversion from Jiangxi to Jiangdong, its past flood disasters will also be greatly reduced, preventing the land around and downstream from being flooded again.

From the excavation of Qianshi Mountain, to excavation of the riverbed of the tributaries of the Liangjiang River, to the construction of small islands and dams in the river, this series of measures is easy to say, but it is far from simple to implement.

Just controlling the respective progress of these projects and not letting them conflict is a matter of knowledge, let alone how to design the direction of the tributaries of the Liangjiang River, how to open the opening of Qianshi Mountain, how high the dam is, etc. These are all knowledge.

So these days, Shen Jianwan has been out early and returning late. Every day, he takes officials from the Ministry of Industry to run between Jiangdong and Jiangxi, doing countless surveys and explorations for the construction authors of the project.

It is worth mentioning that, because Zheng Jimin wrote to Shen Xuan that reading ten thousand volumes of books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, and this view has also been strongly supported by Shen Jianwan, so now both brothers Shen Xuan and Shen Dong have come to see Shen Jian. Later they built the water conservancy project.

Then Shen Jianwan was very pleasantly surprised to find that the shy Shen Dong was extremely talented in water control. According to the words of the people in the technological world before the invincible Tianzun passed through, Shen Dong was a genius who studied civil engineering.

So, seeing this, Shen Jianwan couldn't help but take Shen Dong with him from time to time while presiding over the water conservancy project, and taught him all the knowledge about water conservancy without reservation.

Seeing that Shen Dong followed Shen Jianwan to study water conservancy, even Shen Xuan, the younger brother of Tianzi, was also studying by the side, and many people of insight were tempted, so many powerful children came to follow Shen Jianwan. Learn to manage water.

In this way, while Shen Jianwan was building this water conservancy project, she also brought a "class", and many people followed her every day to learn water conservancy knowledge.

What is admirable is that Shen Jianwan not only did not drive away, but also did not hesitate to explain the water conservancy knowledge to those who followed her, and tried her best to guide those who wanted to learn as long as it did not affect the progress of the project.

In her words, water control has always been the focus of agriculture. The country needs countless talents in this field. There are so many places in the world that need water control. No matter how powerful she is, she is limited, and it is impossible to travel all over her life. All places, so people who are interested in it are very happy to come and learn.

When these words reached Emperor Xuanping's ears, they were highly praised, and encouraged young talents who were interested to learn to study water management, and even women could go to study together, because Shen Jianwan was also a woman.

Even Emperor Xuanping sent someone to give Shen Jianwan a bunch of rewards, saying that he gave Shen Jianwan's talents to teach Yamato to learn water conservancy.
