I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 72 Liuhe Village

Hearing this, Feng Laosi looked at the four of them hesitantly, with a tangled expression on his face, but finally said: "This method can work, or it won't work."

Seeing his frightened expression, the monk couldn't help grinning, and said with a smile, "Feng Laosi, you old boy, you're really going back after living, you're afraid of a bird! When did you hide from me like this?" Are you tucked in?"

"Then let me talk about it." Seeing the monk's smiling face, Feng Lao Si couldn't help but feel relieved, and then continued: "It is a good thing to block the lake to store water. Only us powerless bitter haha.

However, the river under our feet is connected to the big river in the north, and flows into the Han River in the south.As the Han River flows eastward, it flows into the Great River again.

Further to the south and north, it is still connected to Zhangshui and Dongjing River.And on these criss-cross rivers, there are countless boatmen floating, all of whom are hard-working people who are begging for life on the river.

Once the entrance to Hankou is blocked, the ship will not be able to get through.At that time, let alone a drought, even if there is no drought, this life will be unsustainable! "

what!
Yesterday, I was just lectured by an old man with mud legs cutting reeds!

Today, he was educated by a boatman who runs the boat again.

If this word gets out, Guo Erlang, who is so evil, is afraid that he will be called ignorant and ignorant Guo Erlang!
This time, not only Guo Yi, but even monks and Taoists were full of wry smiles and bewilderment.

What's the situation?

Another blow to the head!
From this point of view, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. The ancients did not deceive me!

Along the way, you will not only see a lot of scenery, but also many people will tell you that this method will not work and this road will not work!
What's more, along the way, even those who cut reeds and run boats will let you know a truth.

This time, it is not blocked, nor is it not blocked.

If it is blocked, those who run boats on the river will starve immediately.If there is no blockage, once a drought occurs and the river dries up, those who run boats on the river will still go hungry.

Moreover, once it is really necessary to block, it is not possible to overcome the drought by blocking this river.

Those that are connected to the big rivers and have a continuous supply of water from upstream, almost all have to be blocked.

The world is safe and secure, and the river is not blocked, and the Qing is not blocked.

Guo Yi's head hurt a little, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand to scratch it.Quickly go through all the knowledge you have learned in your mind.

The modern method of passing the gate is to use the step-by-step water reduction method, or an elevator.

lift…

Gantry!
In an instant, a river gate can be erected at the blockage, and a gantry frame can be erected on the river gate.

If there are boats passing by on both sides, they should be hoisted with a gantry frame, from left to right, or from right to left.

After the monk heard this, he slapped his thigh suddenly: "It's wonderful! This plan is very clever! Set up a gantry at the gate of the river. If there is a boat going through the sluice, use the gantry to lift it up and put it on the opposite side."

"Erlang's plan is very feasible!" The Taoist also stroked his beard and nodded again and again, as expected of Guo Erlang, a monster like this.

"Well, since that's the case, then you have to think carefully about how to place the gantry." Guo Yi sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the sparkling lake in the distance.

Because it is going down the river, the speed is very fast.The boat gently cut the lake surface, leaving two rippling ripples.

Both sides of the strait are full of green reeds, and other boats pass by from time to time, saying hello to Feng Lao Si loudly.

Some of these ships carried five or six people, and some were full of cages.

It can be seen that the water transportation here is still very developed.Feng Laosi was right, there are many people who live on the river.

Less than three poles into the sun, the boat rowed across the long Crescent Bay and entered the connected river.

The lake, which was originally a few miles wide at the tip of the crescent, suddenly shrank to a river channel of only 30 meters.

It's like flowing from a huge bladder into a tiny ureter...

It makes people very uncomfortable.

Standing at the stern of the boat, Feng Laosi pointed to the river on both sides: "Master, look at the silt on these two sides. In the past, there were waist-deep mudflats. If you accidentally bump into a deep hole, you will sink into it.

But today, it has not rained for more than two months, and the waist-deep beach water has all shrunk into the river channel.

If it doesn't rain again, I reckon that the boat won't even be able to float. "

The three people who spoke these words were all frowning and silent.

The Taoist bowed his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly decided: "We can't drag it on any longer, we must do this to block Hankou. Before the gantry is transported, we should block the river first.

As for the boats that come and go, even if we use people to carry them, we have to carry them over. "

Guo Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the words, but the monk nodded in agreement: "Then lift the boat first! If the monk remembers correctly, the side of Hankou should be 'Liuhe Village', a certain villager who happened to know them."

This monk is really domineering, he has acquaintances everywhere he goes.

Hearing what he said, the Taoist became more confident, and turned to look at Guo Yi, waiting for his opinion.

"Perhaps, you don't need to carry the boat. It's enough to build the gantry in Liuhe Village! It doesn't have to be transported from Jiangling."

Forehead…

The Taoist and the monk were a little dumbfounded. Since there is a way, you kid should have said it earlier!

It seems that we two are very stupid!
Unkind boy.

Guo Yi shrugged innocently, turned his head to look at Feng Laosi, cupped his hands and asked, "Fourth Uncle Feng, when will we arrive at Hankou?"

When Feng Laosi saw this handsome young man acting like this, he was a little flattered, and quickly put down his oar, and hurriedly clapped his hands back to salute: "The wind is smooth today, and we should be able to arrive in the evening."

Guo Yi nodded, turned his head to look at the monk, and discussed: "We can reach Hankou in the evening, so let's stay in Liuhe Village tonight and make an agreement with their village official. If the conditions are suitable, we will start to enter tomorrow." Hankou."

The monk and the Taoist all nodded in agreement. Now that the drought is continuing and the water level of the river continues to drop, there is really no further delay.

The boat left Crescent Bay and went down the Liuzhi River.

A very interesting thing is that the same river has different names in different locations.

For example, the small river at the foot is called Zhangjiawan and Zhangjiahe in Zhangjia Town.After leaving Crescent Bay, it is called Liuzhi River by the locals because it is shaped like a willow branch.

And Liuhe Village, located in Hankou, is at the end of willow branches, so it is named Liuhe Village.

As Feng Laosi said, in the evening, just as the sun was hanging on the willows, the boat slipped gently into Hankou.

The scenery here is very different from the previous section of the river.

The two sides of the strait are no longer dense reed marshes, but a large rocky beach.Stones of various shapes and sizes are covered with tidal flats.

A few reeds and weeds are struggling to survive in the crevices of the stones.

Looking from a distance, it is desolate.

Feng Laosi stood at the stern, raised his finger and pointed forward: "Go two or three miles forward, and you will be Hanshui."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and pointed to a village to the west, and then said, "That's Liuhe Village."

It's time to clap bowls, and every household in the village is smoking.
