Villager of Daming

Chapter 952: The beast cleans up and stores water

"The fish is delicious!" came a child's voice.

Zhu Xi smiled: "Smoked fish is hard and it is inconvenient for me and my children to eat it. I made braised fish separately. It contains sugar and vinegar. It is really popular with children."

"I also like to eat braised pork. The braised pork in the village is the most fragrant. Does anyone raise pigs here? Pick one that is almost fat or thin."

Zhu Fan was holding a barbecue skewer in his hand and said he wanted to eat braised pork, whether it was with soy sauce or without soy sauce, he liked it.

The sergeant in this village looked embarrassed: "Your Highness, the fatter and thinner ones are six sows, used for..."

"I know, I know! If you don't want to eat, let's just say that, we are short of fuel now."

Zhu Fan took the Chuaner and shook it twice to express his understanding.

Sows should be chosen with large bones and frames, and they should not be too thin or too fat. Fat pigs will have difficulty in giving birth and may be prone to postpartum paralysis.

They must be raised well and maintain a certain amount of exercise. We hope that they will give birth to more babies. Maintaining the amount of exercise will be more conducive to postpartum recovery and estrus.

If it is eaten by others, it will feel good for a while, and the people will lack the main force to give birth to babies.

"Pig, mountain, bang! Hmm! Hey hey hey hey..." Zhu Wentian pointed at the mountains around him and smiled.

"Hunting, allocate the team to hunt. I originally wanted to leave directly. If I stay for one more day, I can clean up the wild animals and there will be oil and water."

Zhu Fan agreed 100 times, forgetting about the composition of the team. He had enough firepower to destroy the wild boars, and he had done so in other places before.

"Your Highness can send someone to Datong Mansion in advance. There should be a lot of soybeans and sorghum there.

Datong Prefecture has received a large number of livestock. After the wheat harvest, soybeans and sorghum can sometimes be snatched out in mature crops, and now they are probably all made into silage.

However, a lot of land was opened to directly plant soybeans, and the soybean straw was used to feed the livestock, and the war horses fried the beans, or made bean cakes after pressing the oil.

There is a Hui River from Ningwuguan to Datong Prefecture. The Gray River connects to Sanggan River and Fenshui River on the other side. From Datong Prefecture to Ningwuguan Prefecture, it is a countercurrent, and at the same time, it goes over the mountain to reach the other side. "

The head of the village was never in a hurry. He knew where to find vegetarian oil. He passed by Datong when he came back from Lin, and he was very helpful.

There are more livestock in Datong Prefecture, and there is also a lot of farmyard manure. Together with the retting of soybean straw harvested before, it can improve the land in a place.

There are several large rivers in Datong Prefecture. The Yuhe River in the north flows into Hehe River, and then into Sanggan River. There is Shili River in the northwest, which also flows into Hehe River.

The name of Hehe is the combination of Yuhe and Shilihe. It is simple and direct.

Zhu Qing, who had also experienced this, said, "If our Datong government wants soybean oil or soybeans, what should we give them?"

"That's right! Datong Mansion is not my fiefdom. It's obviously not okay to ask for things for free."

Zhu Fan was also thinking about giving him something. The main reason was that he would not go to Datong Mansion this time, otherwise he would send craftsmen to work. What would the soybean oil mean?

The director put down the string, reached into his arms, took out a pile of paper, and placed it on Zhu Fan's small table very naturally.

Zhu Fan picked it up and said, "What? Look, the water diversion project to the mountain? Start from Loufan Town, see the effect, and then extend it to other places, especially Datong Prefecture."

Datong Prefecture itself is not short of water, and the comprehensive water supply is sufficient. The key lies in water transportation. Yes, yes, the presence of a river does not mean that there is water. Canals need to be dug.

Are these drawings? Wind powered? We thought we needed electricity! I’m thinking of getting some electric water pumps, but I have to burn coal to generate electricity…”

He muttered as he read, and when he finished, he kept the drawing in his hand and gave the other instructions to his brother first. Zhu Ping looked quickly and saw that the other two younger brothers were waiting!

He then forwarded it to his fourth son, Zhu Di: "We do need a lot of cement. Loufan Town has westerly winds all year round. Rainfall in summer is heavy and concentrated. With the addition of rivers, floods are prone to occur.

After passing this precipitation concentration area, the mountains are short of water again, and the river cannot flow up, making it difficult to control other water flows.

Now use wind power to lift the water from the river to a certain height, set the tilt angle, and then continue to lift it up until it reaches the top of the mountain.

Choose locations on the top of the mountain to build multiple reservoirs for irrigation. Since everyone has moved drinking water not far from the river, there is no need to transport water from the mountain down.

Set up a windmill by the river to supply yourself with water, away from the foot of the mountain and not right next to the river, so as to maintain a high altitude.

To avoid mountain landslides, mudslides in summer, and possible floods, concrete is needed for river embankments. "

What Zhu Xi talked about was the technical aspect of diverting water up the mountain, layer by layer, and finally getting the water up.

Be careful when water rises and increases weight, causing landslides and mudslides in rainy seasons.

Zhu Di gave the paper to his fifth son Zhu Ji: "When the brick and concrete house is built, lift the foundation and leave a large area in front as a drying ground.

In this way, even if the water overflows the river embankment and rushes down, it is guaranteed that there will be no problems with the house. The embankment must be repaired and the river embankment must not be overflowed.

If there is a lack of population at the moment, but in the future when the population increases, the mountain will be dug, and the excavated soil will be used to lay the foundation, and the residential area will always be at a certain safe distance from the mountain. "

"Very good!" Zhu Rui put down the paper and found that he had nothing to say.

He didn't know how to read the drawings. His head hurt after reading them, and he didn't need to build them himself.

"If your highnesses have no opinions or suggestions, just build it here first and send people to lead the locals or people who don't have land to cultivate in other places."

The chief looked at the four people and saw that they had no objections. The rest of the work belonged to practical operations. He left dozens of craftsmen to lead the work. After the early stage was handled, the craftsmen could catch up with the team.

The officials borrowed the pile of paper and looked at it carefully. Zhaomo Lu Yu from Taiyuan Prefecture looked at the drawings. He was responsible for auditing and project planning.

After looking at it, he slapped his thigh: "Okay! After the building of Loufan Town is completed, if it is useful, put it in all the places we need.

Sometimes the food is short of water, and there are no people to go to the river to carry water. The river can no longer be directly connected to the ditch, and the water level is too low.

The method of storing water during the rainy season and using it during the dry season requires a large initial investment, but the people can feel at ease later. "

Governor Cao Longzhao frowned: "Your Highness, please do this and take good care of each reservoir to prevent people from accidentally falling in and drowning.

Children, especially, must stay away when playing, otherwise if one person dies, a pond will be filled.

Don't use drinking water from the pool. Over time, bugs will grow in it and people will get sick if they eat it. "

The head of the village nodded: "Governor Cao is right. We need to build a large irrigation reservoir without puddles. If we want to collect water, we must use a combination of human power, animal power, and wind power. Electric water pumps cannot be used by everyone."

Lilong means building a large pool several hundred meters long and several hundred meters wide, with steps. It’s really hot in summer, so it’s better for children to swim in the river than in the reservoir.

Specially equipped with life-saving equipment and people with good water skills, several people from a village come out to watch the children every day. The children are happy and their safety is guaranteed.

It is for irrigation, not for drinking. Sprinkle some lime occasionally. After cleaning, you don’t have to worry about your children drinking dirty water.
