I bring the system to tease Shihuang to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 75 Waterfall
Zhao Jun, who fell asleep, felt much better the next day, but there were still many things waiting for her.

"Look, my lord, this is the only river that passes through our Xincheng County. We are located downstream, not to mention the small amount of water, and the distance is still far away. People have to travel long distances to fetch water every day. Sometimes it is really too late to irrigate the crops. "

In the morning, Zhao Jun followed the magistrate Tan to the river.

It is actually a bit exaggerated to say that it is a river. I don't know which river it is a tributary of. The amount of water seems to be called a creek.

She thought about the distance from the field over there to here, and it was indeed very far.

Just as Mr. Zhao was making his inspection tour, many people came to fetch water with big buckets.

"Mom, let me lift it for you."

A not-too-old woman by the river walked forward with difficulty carrying two buckets full of water.

A boy of about ten years old beside her helped her hold the bucket.

County magistrate Tan followed Zhao Jun's gaze to see the mother and son.

"This is Du Jiangshi, and next to her is her only son Du Shao. Du Jiangshi and his man said a few years ago that he was out to make things and do business, but there has been no news for two or three years. I'm afraid he either died outside or I won’t come back, unfortunately Du Jiang’s life is difficult for orphans and widows.”

Zhao Jun has seen this kind of story in TV dramas before, but he didn't expect to meet one now.

Her husband is probably the contemporary Chen Shimei.

"My lord, why don't I ask someone to help her."

Qingliu felt uncomfortable watching the mother and child staggering forward, she whispered that she wanted to help her.

"No need, Miss Qingliu, this Du Jiang family is very stubborn. I saw several times before that I wanted to help her, but she refused. At first I thought she was afraid of being gossiped, so I asked some old women to help her. But she didn't accept it either, she was just very stubborn."

Magistrate Tan let out a long breath and shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, if you help for a while, you won't be able to help forever. Let's solve the water source problem first, so that she won't have to travel a lot in the future."

Zhao Jun looked at the mother and son who had gone far away and could not see, and spoke slowly.

"Are you sure there is only this river in your county, and there is nothing else? Think about it carefully."

Zhao Jun glanced at the slow stream, and thought of several ways, if it is really a big project to lead this stream to the fields.

"Well, there is indeed only this one river, but we do have other water sources in our county, but the water there is more dangerous and unusable."

Tan Ben thought for a moment and gave the answer.

"More dangerous? What do you mean?"

"Returning to my lord, it is like this. The terrain of our county is uneven, so the cultivated area is relatively small, but the overall area of ​​our county is very large. The main reason is that more than half of it is covered by forests and slopes. There are many forests and slopes in between. There are few waterfalls, but because the terrain is relatively dangerous and it is difficult for people to go up, so they can’t be used.”

Zhao Jun understood. In fact, when she first came to Xincheng County, she realized that this is a typical hilly city with high terrain and relatively steep slopes. In this era, it is really not suitable for farming.

"There are waterfalls."

She has an idea in her heart, if it is possible, it will not only solve the problem of water source, but also solve the problem of small cultivated land.

"Is that far from the cultivated area?"

"It's not too far away, it's closer than here." Tan Ben replied.

"Okay, then take us to have a look."

To know the specific situation, Zhao Jun had to see it on the spot.

A group of people hurriedly walked towards the waterfall again.

"My lord, be careful, from here is the way to climb up, it's not easy."

Tan Ben said cautiously, if this lord has something good or bad, then he must be dead.

"It's okay, besides, there is a captain leading the way."

Zhao Jun said happily in bitterness.

The captain who followed along the way said that we have absolutely no problem.

In fact, the current height is not very high or steep, not even comparable to the Dashu Mountain in her previous life's hometown.

It is said that the mountain is actually a soil slope, but the soil slope they are walking on now is the original ecology without treatment.

There are all kinds of weeds, bugs and muddy roads along the way, which is really not easy to walk.

Finally, a group of people climbed up for more than half an hour, and saw the waterfall that magistrate Tan was talking about.

"Wow, it's so beautiful."

Qingliu had never seen a waterfall before, and she couldn't restrain her exclamation when she first saw it.

Zhao Jun also thinks it is beautiful, but she has seen more spectacular waterfalls in modern times.

Although it is beautiful, it is not shocking.

The water flow of this waterfall is not far away, but it is much stronger than the previous river.

"Magistrate Tan, do you know that this waterfall will stop flowing, or does it happen all year round?"

Zhao Jun looked down at the road he walked up, and felt that it was not too steep.

"As far as I know, it's like this all year round." County magistrate Tan replied.

"What's over there?"

Qing Liu pointed to the place behind the waterfall and asked.

"There are mountains behind it. I don't know exactly which mountain it is, but behind it is the Qinling Mountains. It's a big mountain, and no one has ever been there."

"That's the Qinling Mountains."

Zhao Jun was very surprised. He didn't expect to come to the Qinling Mountains. Qinling is such a famous mountain range.

"My lord, please don't forget to go there. There are deep mountains and old forests there, and they are about to leave the Qin state."

Tan Ben hurriedly said that he was afraid that this person would run away after getting interested, and it was not a joke.

Zhao Jun shook his head, although she was curious, she didn't want to die.

"Okay, I have a general understanding of the situation here. I think it is better to water this waterfall, and it should be possible, but I have to go back and think about it."

Zhao Jun went down the mountain carefully while talking.

After shopping around, she felt that her original idea should be feasible.

Build terraced fields here and water them with waterfalls.

Although she has an idea, she hasn't figured out how to implement it.

It seems that I have to go back and ask the teacher.

Zhao Jun's work here is in full swing, and the court on the other side is also operating as usual.

"It's been almost a month since Zhao Jun left."

One day, Ying Zheng suddenly asked Sun Cheng next to him.

"Uh, yes, Mr. Zhao has already left on the 28th."

Sun Cheng answered cautiously, it's been almost a month and the king didn't show anything before, why did he suddenly ask this question?

"Well, it does feel like I haven't seen her for a while."

Ying Zheng spoke lightly, with a calm face.

There was another long silence.

So, so what do you want to say, my lord?

Standing behind, Sun Cheng secretly speculated about the Sacred Heart.

Finally a long time passed.

"Sun Cheng, tell the dining room to bring a hot pot tonight."

hot pot?

Majesty, do you just want to eat hot pot after thinking about it for a long time?
