Villager of Daming

Chapter 1083: Lack of water, no competition for registration

"This place is indeed better than Xiashan Village. The water in Liuli River is usable and has not dried up. When was the waterwheel built?"

After breakfast of duck meat and steamed rice noodles, the team walked along the Liuli River. Even though there was a river, they were still planting wheat, especially knowing that there would be a good harvest of winter wheat due to the drought this summer.

The sorghum in the ground now grows very tall because it was planted first, and underneath are the soybeans, hiding in the shadow of the sorghum leaves.

Zhu Di observed the waterwheel erected in the river. It was obvious that it was just for watering the ground. There were no houses here.

"Back to Your Highness, last winter, the river was shallow and the upper reaches were frozen. Everyone knows that there will be a drought this summer. After some calculations, I think there is still water in the river.

It is only said that there is a drought in Beiping, but not in other places. If there is a severe drought, there will also be drought on the other side of the mountain, and the water will flow down from Fangshan Mountain.

There is a water tanker in front, and an extra ditch has been built on the roadside. The water from the water tanker flows along the ditch. When it reaches the place where the water family is located, everyone will release a little water first. They cannot release it too hard because they have to use it for people downstream. "

Fang Dashan replied that the matter he was responsible for was to report the drought in Beiping in advance, and officials in various places must find ways to solve the situation within their jurisdictions.

As he said that, he glanced at his cousin and asked you to come down to the mountain village. You must stick to that poor place. If your highnesses hadn't come here, would your two wells still have water?
As if he knew what his cousin, the county magistrate, was thinking, Fang Dachuan muttered: "Send someone down the well to continue digging. The wellhead is very wide!"

Fang Dashan praised it and admitted that the quality of the water wheel was not good. After this summer and autumn, it will not be used.

This is a waterwheel that does not require anyone to pedal. It is driven by the water itself.

Wang Yiqian did not ask for the opinion of the county magistrate Fang Dashan at all. He could just follow His Highness's orders. A minor official had no official power.

The villages in the upper reaches had to wait until all the land was irrigated before they could seal their mouths. The villages in the lower reaches had to wait until all the land in the upper reaches was fully irrigated, and then their own villages died of drought.

"Your Highness, you will arrange for people to find wood soon, and then build the waterwheel. Don't assemble it yet. Wait for the winter time to set it up?"

This is the purpose of killing people for grabbing water in the village, otherwise the upstream would not take the initiative to provide water to the downstream.

Moreover, as a set of equipment, the flour mill can separate flour into different proportions. Those with wealthy families are willing to eat white flour and spend more money.

Zhu Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Can it be reinforced?"

In many cases, the upstream and downstream sectors compete for water because the ridges above are long, and the water seeps downwards while traveling along the ridges.

"Your Highness, the materials used in all places are not good unless they are dismantled and made into new ones." Wang Yiqian shook his head.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for thinking of the people of Fangshan County."

"Can a waterwheel be made?" Zhu Di knew the principle but had never done it. He asked the craftsmen in the team.

No one paid him any attention. Everyone continued to move forward and stood next to the waterwheel.

"Oh~~" Zhu Xi nodded: "Actually, if we repair the road well, the water wheel can at least provide power to help grind the noodles, which is better than using mills and pounders.

Fang Dashan is very sensible, let’s build it! What is the grinding thing? Watching the wheat grains go in, then a pile of flour comes out, brown, and then whiter and whiter.

"Manager Wang is great, but he really didn't do a good job. There will be no drought next year! The water will be taken out directly from the river, no water tanker is needed."

Wang Yiqian took a telescope and observed it: "Your Highness, use it to deal with it. After one winter, it will be civilized again, and the waterwheel will be broken."

Others are not eaten and sold at low prices to people in the family who make less money, which can be regarded as everyone getting what they need. "

There are people in the fields at this time, and they need to guard them. When their fields are almost filled with water, they seal the openings of the ditches.

"It's not easy to make these bamboos, right? Where can people buy them?"

Zhu Fan saw that some people began to seal their mouths and said, "No more, the land is enough, it can last for two days, and then it can be opened again, now it has to be drained."

The reason for quick sealing is that people put cut bamboos in the ground. Water flows along the bamboos, and holes are punched in the bamboos to penetrate. In this way, watering takes almost the same amount of time before and after. The water will not penetrate enough from the front and then back.

Farmers in the upper and lower reaches did not fight. They discussed the distribution and weathered the difficulties together.

The key is that bamboo is expensive and plastic sheeting is not available, otherwise it would be better to lay plastic sheeting.

"Your Highness, I have found someone who specializes in making this. It does not belong to the common people. It must be collected when it is used up.

It is then placed where needed and cannot be used for anything else except to light a fire.

There are holes in the bamboo. If you want to make a cage, the position of the holes must be avoided. It will not be strong. "

Fang Dashan answered again, with a smile on his face, waiting to be praised.

"Yes, Fangzhi County really cares about the people."

Zhu Di nodded. Officials are responsible and he should worry about it, even though he does not care about official administration.

"The sergeants here teach me well, and I will listen to whatever they say."

When Fang Zhixian is happy, he never forgets to bring his sergeant with him. We can share good things together and face difficulties together.

"Where are the other places?" Zhu Di asked, looking at the sealed people standing there wiping sweat.

The prefect knew that he was asking himself: "All the counties in Beiping Prefecture are like this, and the sergeants are more like military advisors. I can think of going together."

The fifth child, Zhu Ji, interjected: "That's because we teach together, and the people from the Xiaqiu Village Sect are in charge.

Xiaqiu Village likes smart talents, but when it comes to dealing with large-scale problems, it's better to stick to the rules.

It's all the same model, first stabilize the local situation, and then use their respective talents. "

"It's your Majesty's grace." The mayor is also hypocritical, no, he is sensible.

Fortunately, no official suddenly knelt down towards the south and shouted long live. This is the most disgusting thing. Like some adults who praise the wife's stinky feet, and even bring other children's adults to praise her, she deserves a beating.

Everyone continued walking and had a stew, burritos and soup in the kettle at noon.

There are no shredded potatoes to roll, so I just make fried mung bean sprouts, dried tofu shreds, and pickled cowpeas.

The officials enjoyed the food very well. What they ate was fried in Xiaqiu Village.

When it was dark, the team returned to the camp in the county. This time there were mutton skewers, sheep transferred from other places.

"I'm really hungry. I didn't ride a horse. I kept walking. I need to soak my feet at night and take a shower first."

The fifth child Zhu Xi grinned, tired! He is a traveler, so he comes with me to play with him.

After everyone had tidied up, changed their clothes, and sat under the light, the people from Xiaqiu Village had grilled the skewers.

"Chief, you have walked so much today, thank you for your hard work!" Zhu Di sat down and talked to the chief.

The lieutenant reached into his arms and took out a booklet: "Your Highness, we suddenly thought of something yesterday. We compared it today and found it feasible. Your Highness will take a look at it."

The headmaster understood that Zhu Di was asking about something, and he couldn't just hang around for a day. His legs felt like lead.

"Thank you, Chief." Zhu Di smiled and took the booklet with both hands. Yes, this is what we are waiting for! Hey Hey……
