Chapter 62 The Solution to Drought

Guo Yi put his whole body and mind into the landscape map.

He used to only know that this water town in the south of the Yangtze River is a place with a lot of rain, a lot of water, a lot of rivers, a lot of lakes and ponds.

But now, in this landscape map, I can really feel that there are really many.

Large and small rivers, densely packed lakes, connected by branches and connected end to end, are scattered all over the place.

But if there are so many rivers and lakes, why are there still severe droughts?

All the reasons are because God has not rained for a long time.

Once it is not supplemented by rain, the days of sunny days will evaporate many rivers and lakes.

Eventually, even the wells dry up.

For an unknown period of time, Guo Yi carefully looked at this landscape map over and over again.

Afterwards, he switched to a modern landscape map without further ado.

With just one glance, he could see the subtle differences between the two.Some valleys are uplifted, and some mountains and rivers have collapsed, which should be caused by geological movements.

Moreover, even many rivers are very different.The river deviates from the original channel, and the distance to the north or south is tens of hundreds of meters, while others are thousands of meters away.

It should be the breach of the embankment, which caused the river to flood and eventually diverted the river.

The biggest difference is the large and small lakes and ponds.Almost all the lakes have shrunk several times, and even some large lakes have been divided into many small lakes.

And some ponds have disappeared.I don't know if it's because of the drought or something else.

Looking at these large and small rivers and lakes, Guo Yi suddenly felt blessed.

Perhaps, the current drought can be solved from these two landscape maps.

Thinking of this, he dug out the ancient landscape map again, and looked at the veins of rivers and lakes in it.

The causes of lakes are as follows: there are depressions on the surface of alpine plateaus, hills and plains, and the depressions gradually store water to form lakes; after the eruption of a volcano, a huge crater will be left on the top of the volcano, and the crater will gradually store water and form a lake. The lakes formed; due to the migration and sway of the river, the silting of the river, etc., the lakes will be formed on the river.

And here on Jinghu North Road, many lakes are river-formed lakes.

That is to say, some rivers located in plain areas will form lakes on the river course due to the migration and swaying of the river course and the silting of the river course.

Due to the impact of river water injection, this kind of lake will expand in the wet season and shrink in the dry season; when the water volume is relatively balanced, the shape of the fluvial lake is relatively stable, but when the water volume changes greatly, the shape of the fluvial lake changes. also increased.

Perhaps, the solution lies here.

To solve the drought, the government is nothing more than praying for rain or adjusting the river.

And the meaning of adjusting the big river is to transfer water from the big river.But this is obviously a drop in the bucket. It can only solve the drought problem around the big river, and it cannot be adjusted too far.

But there is no way to do it, you dare not block it.Because there are so many tributaries that flow into the big river, you can't tell which tributary will suddenly rain heavily upstream.

Once it rains heavily, causing the water level to rise, it will flood Jiangling.

But Guo Yi discovered many details on this landscape map.

Not only the big river runs through Jinghu North Road from west to east, but also the tributaries of the big river include Han River, Ju River, Zhang River, Qing River, Dongjing River, Lu River, Xi River, Daoshui, Ju River, Ba River, Xi River, Fu River, etc. , are also within the territory of Jinghu North Road.

There are thousands of other scattered rivers, and most of these small rivers are the tributaries of the big rivers, and the rivers are not wide.

And this also means that it can be easily truncated.

Since the Yangtze River cannot be blocked, its tributaries should be blocked.

Gates are erected on rivers, which are closed during periods of drought, allowing them to drain into lakes to store water.And during floods, the gates are opened to release floodwater from these lakes.

The more Guo Yi looked at it, the more feasible it became.

But if you can't think about it, you have to conduct field inspections.Thinking of this, he groaned, got up from the bed, put on his clothes in one piece, and strode out without even having time to comb his hair.

It was already three poles in the sun outside, and the sun was just right.

The mother and Sanniang were sitting at the door of the house embroidering. When they saw him coming out, they asked with great concern, "Erlang, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

"Yeah." Guo Yi nodded: "If you want to eat, let Aunt Zhao make some cakes. The boy and Zhuzi are going to travel far away and eat with them on the way."

"A long trip?" Mother Guo Yang immediately asked with concern: "Where are you going? How many days? When will you be back?"

Guo Yi was stunned for a moment, and responded with a wry smile: "Go to 'Zhangjiawan' in Shanxi. I don't know the exact distance, and I don't know how many days it will take."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huiyong walked in with his head poking around, and when he saw him in the yard, his face immediately beamed with joy: "Brother Yi, are you awake?"

"Yeah. Brother Yong came just in time. Go and help me put on a mule cart, load some fodder, and send someone to call the pillar back."

"Okay! I'll go now." Yang Huiyong ran out quickly after speaking.

When he was young, Guo Yi had just picked up his rice bowl, and before he had eaten a few mouthfuls, Zhuzi came back, followed by Monk Deyuan.

The monk was very happy to see him wake up, he grinned his fork to the base of his ears, and shouted with a smile: "Erlang, are you full of sleep?"

"Yes." Guo Yi responded, then put down his job, went to the house and took out the method of looking for mountains and waters copied last night, and handed it to the monk: "Master Deyuan, please have a look."

"Hahaha! It's all transcribed? Erlang really understands righteousness!" The monk smiled, took it with both hands, and then stood in the yard, looking at it impatiently.

Yang Huiyong came in suddenly and shouted at him: "Brother Yi, the mule cart is harnessed and the fodder is loaded."

Guo Yi nodded in response, then kicked the pillar: "Hurry up and eat more."

Monk Deyuan raised his head upon hearing the sound, turned his head to look at Yang Huiyong, then Guo Yi, and asked very curiously: "Erlang, are you going out? Or are you going to other villages to find water?"

"No!" Guo Yi shook his head and explained, "I'm going to visit 'Zhangjiawan' in the west of Shanxi."

"Zhangjiawan? What are you going to do there? It's very close to go straight through the mountains. But the mountain road is extremely dangerous, and mule carts can't pass, so you have to go around from the north, which is a big circle!"

Just go around!

Great monk, you are powerful in force, and you can run straight through.

But he didn't have the guts to follow the pillar straight through the mountain. If the pillar was on his own, maybe he could...

That guy is big and round, as strong as a mountain, and he has a good force value, but if he brings this oil bottle of himself...

That's enough!
At this point, Guo Yi is still very self-aware!

Thinking of this, he could only shake his head with a wry smile.This wonderful youth has just begun, he doesn't want to deliver goods to the tiger's door and become a tiger's papa.

When Monk Deyuan saw his appearance, he couldn't help laughing, and asked again: "This is so far away, what are you going to do there?"
