Siheyuan: This driver is too arrogant

Chapter 111 Benefiting the Grassland and Creating a Big Lake! (seeking subscription)
"It's not digging out a lake, but looking for the lowest point on our grassland, and draining the saved rainwater into it. Don't let it flow away in vain. It's getting colder and colder soon, and it's going to freeze in more than a month. Wait until When spring begins next year, the water stored in this small lake will be of great use!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they couldn't understand or realize it, and even thought that Liu Weidong was whimsical!

"The best thing is to keep the water!" Senger understood, "Our grassland has drought every year, and this spring we were lucky to have a heavy snowfall, so the grass conditions are good all year round. If the autumn rain is retained, the water can be used to irrigate grasslands or drink for cattle and sheep in the spring of next year. This is a great thing, and I support it!"

"I support it too!"

Uncle Mo Zhigen finally understood and raised his hand hastily.

"I support it too!" Odengler raised his hands, "Who doesn't support me blowing his head!"

"But Weidong, it's a good idea, but how should the water be brought over?"

"Easy!" Liu Weidong smiled mysteriously.

"Then let's fix it now!" Senge is more active than anyone else in this kind of publicity. Liu Weidong looked at the sky with a smile and shook his head, "We'll wait until tonight."

Liu Weidong asked Aunt Ayisi to help get a lot of woolen torches, dipped them in sheep oil for later use, and when it was dark and the rain stopped, he took people into the grassland and asked Huslen, Yu Yonghe and other children to help , put the torches in the grass, line them up, and light them.

"What can you see now?" He asked Uncle Mo Zhigen, the uncle tilted his head to look at the line of fire that had been extending far away, rubbed his nose, and shook his head.

"As long as we carefully observe the height of the torch, we can determine where the lowest point of the grass is." Liu Weidong used the method of Wang Tongchun, a senior water control expert. In this way, it is clear at a glance where the grass is high and where is low.

"You Han people are still smart, why didn't we think of this way!" Mo Zhigen scratched his head with a laugh, and followed Liu Weidong to the lowest point of the torch.

Liu Weidong took out a wooden stake and nailed it down as a reference point.

Then he asked the children to pull out the torches to test another water diversion route.

After several tests, an oval-shaped depression was drawn on the elementary school workbook in his hand.

Sancha Bay is the lowest point on the vast grassland south of Huangcaoling. After some investigation, Liu Weidong also found a mud pit that has not been dried all year round on the east side of Sancha Bay. This is also the best evidence!

The lake of the future is here!
In the northwest of Sancha Bay, there is a relatively low and very flat potential "water diversion channel". It is only because of the obstruction of a small soil slope that the connection between the water storage and the depression is cut off, causing rainwater to be blocked. Along the grassland slopes, it merges into the far east grassland, and flows eastward into the source of the Liaohe River.

"Dig a ditch here to bring in all the rainwater, and then block the opening on the east side, and the water will be trapped in Sancha Bay." Liu Weidong drew two lines on the paper with a pencil, and Mo Zhigen The uncle took a look, "The area of ​​this low-lying land is not small, it must have hundreds of acres. If we store water, then we will not be afraid of drought in the future!"

"As long as this puddle is kept, water will flow in no matter it rains or snows in the future, so we don't have to worry about water problems."

Liu Weidong laughed.

There is a well in Huangcaoling Animal Husbandry Station, which was drilled by soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army a few years ago. The water depth is more than 20 meters. There is a pulley on the head of the well. You can only bring up such a small bucket every time. This water is difficult even for cooking, let alone Feed the cows up.

This is also the main reason why they allocated some cattle and sheep to Xiawozi.

Xiawozi relies on a seasonal river, which can provide sufficient water for cattle and sheep.

Just do it, Liu Weidong put the torch on the potential "water diversion trough", and Mo Zhigen and others brandished tools such as shovels and hoes. According to his instructions, they first built an earth dam on the east side of Sancha Bay to avoid flooding. The water flows eastward, and then the soil slope blocking the water diversion channel is dug away.

It took one night to do this. The man in the prairie was strong and strong, and he worked for his own family. He spared no effort for a whole night, and finally moved the slope away, leaving a "canal" half a meter deep and more than one meter wide.

Liu Weidong led them to open up several water channels, so that the water left on the grass rushed to the lower depression like a hundred rivers returning to the sea. More than a dozen water streams collided and stirred each other, and even small waves appeared!

By daybreak, the meadow in the lower depression had disappeared, replaced by a "lake" with an area of ​​hundreds of acres!
The morning sun shone on the water, the breeze was blowing, the water was sparkling, and it was quite misty!
"That's great Weidong, we also have a lake in Huangcaoling!" The herdsmen of the whole tribe came to the lake excitedly, looking at the clear water, all of them beamed with joy!

"In the future, when there is heavy rain and heavy snow, we can save the water and don't have to flow away in vain!" Uncle Mo Rigen patted Liu Weidong on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Scholars are different. They have flexible brains and can do things. If we rely on our group With an elm lumpy head, I'm afraid I won't be able to think of this trick to store water in hundreds of years!"

"I'm just imitating old Mr. Wang Tongchun and making some contributions within my power!" Liu Weidong smiled modestly.

After marrying Gege, he is the "forehead son-in-law" of this grassland. He believes that as long as he can help them within his ability, they will definitely change their attitude towards Lord Horqin and little Gege!

"Uncle Mo Zhigen, do you have any lime?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Wait, you sprinkle a few bags of lime into the water to disinfect the water."

"Understood, Wei Dong, you have been busy all night, go back and sleep for a while!" The crowd urged.

Liu Weidong shook his head with a smile. Although the area of ​​the lake in front of him is not large, it is only 120 mu, and the water is not deep. Very fulfilling.

It was dawn, the rain stopped, and the sun shone hot on my body, not to mention how comfortable it was.

As soon as the cattle and sheep that had been hungry all night came out of the pen, they rushed to the grassland like crazy, barking the puppies guarding the flock with anger!
The cattle and sheep also found this water pool that suddenly appeared on the prairie, ran over like a joy, lowered their heads, and gulped the stored water inside.

"Look at our flock, they're all crazy!"

Aunt Ayisi came over with two bags of lime, and she laughed from ear to ear when she saw the scene of cattle and sheep jostling for water.

With the water source, the work of feeding cattle and sheep will be much easier in the future.

"Weidong did a great job for us!" Uncle Mo Zhigen opened the bag, sprinkled limes in the lake water, and looked at the cattle and sheep with gentle eyes.

These livestock are the treasures they depend on for survival, and they are their lives!
"Look, how beautiful it is!" Liu Weidong stood on Huangcao Ridge, looking at the lake in the distance.

After drinking enough water, the cattle and sheep went to the grassland to graze. Rabbits, foxes, badgers hidden in the grassland... and countless birds flew over one after another, greedily drinking the sterilized stored water by the lake. .

"Well, brother, I finally understand what the fountain of life is! You see, such a small puddle provides water for so many little lives."

"Well, I mainly want you to appreciate this sapphire-like lake..."

"Well, it's really beautiful, just like my brother's eyes, twinkling and twinkling, and the sky is full of little stars with one punch..."

Hey!
Liu Weidong was punched by Xiao Gege and screamed!
　Twinkle and twinkle, the monthly pass shines like a star, ho ho!
