Chapter 146 146 Difficulties
After delivering it, Xu Ji will no longer take care of it.

After studying the blueprints, she took the people from the Agriculture Bureau to investigate on the spot. There is a river thirty miles away from Wuyang City, which belongs to the seasonal river. It's not easy to walk, and it takes nearly twice the distance to go out.

Xu Jituo looked at the small river, which was relatively wide but not deep, and remained silent for a long time.

People around him asked: "The princess is too far away from us, and it's difficult to divert water..."

Back in Xu Garden, they could control both the distance and the difficulty of excavation, but the current situation is really not optimistic.

Xu Ji walked along the river for a while, put his palms on the eaves of his eyebrows and looked into the distance, "It is said that the source of this river is on the mountain, and the snow on the top of the mountain melts and flows down.

"Resupply mainly depends on rainfall and snowfall, but there has been no rain or snow here for three years."

"That's right," Shi Lun, the chief manager of the Agriculture Bureau, nodded, feeling a little worried, "It's called the Diyong River, and it's said that the local people named it because they hoped someone could emerge from the ground.

"When the water level is the highest, it can be flush with the ground, and the surrounding aquatic plants are lush."

Xu Ji came up with the idea of ​​building a reservoir, but the water source problem is difficult to solve!
They currently use well water for irrigation, but without water pumps and lack of power, it is not cost-effective to use well water for large-scale irrigation.

Moreover, it is really a matter of luck to dig a sweet water well here. They have drilled ten wells in a row, and there is only one sweet water well.

It's not that the water quality of Kushui Well can't be changed, but as far as she is concerned, she doesn't have this ability yet. She has made a wish for the corresponding reagent in the synthesis vessel, but she hasn't got it yet.

In the future, these wells can be used to meet the domestic water needs of local people.

Alas, if only she could influence the weather, she would definitely make it rainy every year, so that there would be a good harvest every year.

After the inspection, after returning home, Xu Ji began to draw the blueprints. Since she had never actually operated it, she made the model first. After the model test was successful, she began to prepare for the real waterwheel.

On the other hand, the newly-planned cultivated land will be deeply restructured, and the concentrated nutrient solution will be sprinkled to improve the soil quality.

At the same time, a granary must be built.

Due to the drought, the first batch of sown crops were not as strong as they were in Xu Garden, but they were many times better than what the local farmers had seen in previous years. Seeing the hope of a good harvest, all the local people were very excited.

Sister Wen raised her concerns: "Princess, this old slave heard that the winter here is very cold, and their houses have double-layered windows. Before the winter, they have to prepare enough firewood in advance, otherwise they will really suffer. Don't go."

They brought a lot of fabrics and a lot of ready-made clothes, but not enough to keep warm.

Xu Ji frowned and thought about it for a long time. In her era, science and technology were highly developed, and heat preservation technology was advancing by leaps and bounds. There was no need to think about these things at all.

After coming here, because of her special status, she wears furs in winter. Although it is a bit bulky, it is good at keeping warm.

Many nobles in the palace wear silk clothes, which are made of silk.

Mother Wen and the others wore cotton padded clothes, which were said to be made of kapok, but kapok was not easy to come by, and ordinary people could not afford it.

As far as she knows, there are no kapok trees in the local area.

So their cotton padded clothes became consumables.

There should be cotton in future generations, and she should make a wish for cotton in the synthetic vessel.

But far water can't quench the near thirst, even if she made a wish successfully, there is also an upper limit on the copying of the synthetic vessel, and it probably still isn't enough.
