Chapter 129 One Third
The geology of Ye County is loose, there are not too many big rocks, and dredging is relatively simple.

There are bulldozers and excavators, and the work speed is increased.

The machine pushed the soil away, and the people picked up the stones, which were later used to build canals.

The bulldozer gathered the soil without stones together, and Lin Yu used the function of the pagoda to collect the loose soil into the pagoda, and then transported it to other low-lying places.

Or fill it between two mountain streams to form a straight road to go out, reducing the time spent by people in the mountains going out.

Lin Yu and the local officials said: "There are not enough people, you have to send more people over."

The river channel is three meters wide and one and a half meters deep, and the construction period is progressing rapidly.

But it is a bit of a delay to make a channel. This is a water conservancy project, which is specially used to irrigate fertile fields.

There is not enough manpower, and the officials and gentry should be called back to collect labor.

The officials were in a dilemma, "Master Lin, we also want to find someone, but after the last incident with the God of the River, they obeyed."

Deserve it.

Lin Yu said to them angrily: "Whoever can find someone, I will protect his position. If you are obedient, go home and farm."

She not only said to the officials and gentry, but also said to the laborers present, "I am short of people here, whoever can call people from your own village to work can be the Li Zheng.

Those who are capable of doing things, I recommend you to work in the government office. "

At this time, Lin Yu threatened the officials and gentry.

These officials and gentry thought that if they hugged together, they would be able to give her problems.

Hmph, I don't care who I offended.

The county magistrate of Ye County was also changed by her. They dare to make things difficult for her. They really don't understand current affairs.

That day when Lin Yu went back to look after the children, he stopped by the government office and reported the affairs of Ye County.

Gan wrote an appointment letter for the people, directly removing the positions of the two officials and gentry, and handing over the power of appointment to Lin Yu.

That is to say, whoever Lin Yu wants to be an official can be an official.

With such a change, no one dares to obey the law.

The nearby villages knew that Lin Yu and others were here to build rivers and canals, so they offered to help.

Come with a hoe and dry food, and don't ask for a sip of water.

The villagers come to work during the day and go back to rest at night.

At the construction site, Lin Jiadong, who was bulldozing, pushed out a nest of snakes.

"Wow, I dug up a nest of snakes."

"I found a treasure, grab it back and make soup."

"Kill a chicken and stew together, dragon and phoenix soup."

Workers go down with tools to catch snakes and bring them back to make soup.

"Master Lin, we caught a snake, let's eat snake soup tonight."

Lin Yu didn't like this bite, "I don't like this food, you eat it."

Lin Yu took the blueprint to the other side of the construction site and found the owner of the Xiangmu cottage.

This village owner is a female village owner, and is very popular among the people. As long as she says something, everyone in that village will obey.

The location of their cottage is not within the range of the canal, but they hope to obtain water, so they come to help, hoping that the government can build the canal to their cottage.

"Master Achu."

"Golden Phoenix, you are looking for me."

Ah Chu climbed ashore, covered in yellow mud.

"Village Master Achu, I have visited your place, but the canals are not accessible."

Village Master Achu was a little disappointed, and tried his best to fight for his people, "Is there no other way? Jin Fenghuang, you must help us."

"Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me."

Lin Yu spread out the drawings and said, "If the canal is opened there, the cost will be high and it's not worth it.

But I can build a reservoir in a col near your cottage.

If you store water in summer and autumn, you will not be afraid of running out of water during the busy farming season in the coming year. "

The village master of Achu held the blueprint as if he had found a treasure, and was moved to tears, knelt down to kowtow to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu supported Village Master Achu and prevented her from kneeling down. "No, no, get up quickly, there is no need here."

She's really not used to kneeling when she doesn't understand.

"If the river water can't reach you, you don't have to come to help.

In this way, you go back to dig earth bricks, lay more than 2000 earth bricks for the foundation, and I will build a reservoir for you after I finish this construction period. "

"well."

Fearing that they didn't know how to make earthen bricks, Lin Yu asked a carpenter to make tools so that the head of Achu Village could learn how to make earthen bricks before returning.

The main channel will soon be dug through. Lin Yu will dig a canal beside the main channel. She will use cement and sand for the gate of the canal.

Mix cement and sand in proportion to make concrete and then lay stones on top of each other.

The gate made of cement will be stronger, and it will not break for at least a hundred years, unless it is considered.

Because cement was too expensive, she dared not use it, so she mixed clay, water, and lime to build aqueducts.

She originally wanted to use glutinous rice water, but the wall of the canal has been soaked in water all year round, so the glutinous rice water may not be effective.

After the canal was dug, the walls of several canals were built at the same time, and the local people were very excited to see it.

Regardless of the night, they brought the old and the young to grind the stone together.

Grind out the angular stones to make a flat surface, which is convenient for building.

Lin Yu didn't ask them to do it, they asked for it.

Instead, the local people came to persuade her:
"Master Lin, you don't have to persuade me. It's not for you, it's for us too. The aqueduct is built, and we and our descendants will benefit from it."

"I don't have to work hard to do something for my family. With water, there is food, and with food, everything is available."

They are happy with what they are doing, and will continue to do so no matter what, until the aqueduct is completed.

The water from the upper reaches of the Dalan River flows into Ye County and into the Zhang River, so most of the water from the upper reaches of the Dalan River is hidden in Ye County to reduce the pressure on the downstream.

One river and twelve canals in Ye County can irrigate farmland in spring and divert floods in summer.

Lin Yu built three sluices on the river for irrigation. After the peak irrigation period, the sluices are closed and the river can remain navigable.

In Sangshu Village in Ye County, Lin Yu opened a channel to divert the water from the Zhang River into the Dalan River, which ensured that the water volume in the lower reaches of the Zhang River remained unchanged and prevented floods.

The Zhanghe River is high-lying, and there will be no backflow of the Dalan River, which also forms a water level drop.

Lin Yu built two large waterwheels in this place, linked with three stone mills, for the local residents to use for grinding rice and noodles.

Because of the lack of time to move the soil and the enthusiasm of the local people, the three-month construction period was completed ahead of schedule.

A river channel and twelve canal branches are all completed, and they are waiting for the magistrate to come and inspect them.

Gan Weimin took the time to inspect the project. He was very satisfied with the quality and progress of the project.

"The first phase of the project was completed ahead of schedule, Mr. Prefect, should we go back to rest on vacation?"

"Okay, the Dragon Boat Festival will be here soon, I'll give you a holiday to go back to celebrate the festival." Gan Weimin was very generous.

Lin Jiadong got the adult's permission, and immediately turned back to announce the good news.

The workers who came from afar couldn't tell how happy they were, cheering and shouting, talking nonsense to thank Mr. Gan.

Gan Weimin was also infected by them, so it is appropriate to give them a holiday.
