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

Chapter 80 Bamboo Tube Canal
"Master Zhao, you are here again in person."

"Master Zhao is working hard, be careful where you step."

"Master Zhao, the corn seedlings in the field over there are growing very well, and they are starting to grow."

Many people greeted Zhao Jun along the way.

"My lord, these people are so enthusiastic, as if you are also their fellow countrymen."

Qingliu also followed, feeling surprised and proud to see many people greeting Zhao Jun.

You must know that many people are afraid of seeing officials, only their adults are so loved by others.

"Then I am their fellow countryman, Qingliu, no matter what position you will be in in the future, or how much success you will achieve, you must always remember that we are no different from these people. Without these people, we would not be us." gone."

Qingliu nodded, she understands the meaning of the adults, don't feel that you are superior to others at any time.

"My lord, you said before you came that we were going to see the waterfall last time, and we wanted to bring the water over there."

Qingliu supported Zhao Jun and walked slowly towards the depths.

The way they came up at the beginning has been repaired into terraced fields, and the road is still easy to walk.

But at the last section, due to the high terrain and lush vegetation, it has not been fully developed.

Still a little hard to walk.

It didn't take long for them to come to the previous waterfall.

Still the same as before, the waterfall flew from top to bottom, and then flowed deep into the unknown mountain forest.

The construction of the diversion canal here is a project tailored to local conditions, so Jun Zhao doesn't have much to learn from, so he can only come up to observe and try.

"Look at Qingliu, how can we divert the water here down the mountain?"

Zhao Jun seemed to be muttering to himself.

She looked around and touched the soil on the ground or the trees next to her from time to time.

"The waterfall here flows too fast. If we want to draw the water down, we must at least let her not stay so fast."

Qingliu didn't understand very well, she just expressed her own thoughts.

"Yes, you are right. You can see that the waterfall falls almost vertically, and the water flows straight into it. If I want to change its course, I must slow down the flow of water."

Zhao Jun patted Qingliu's shoulder for sure.

"Look, we can dig a small water storage pit here, let some of the water flow into this pit, and then I'm using bamboo or digging a small ditch directly down."

"In this way, it is very convenient to irrigate the terraced fields with water flow from top to bottom."

Zhao Jun thought this way, and she felt that there was still a lot of room for discussion in the follow-up of this plan.

But digging a reservoir here is very necessary and the first step that must be done.

Just do what you say, once Zhao Jun has completely rested, he doesn't want to move anymore.

She quickly approached County Magistrate Tan to discuss and finalize the matter.

So the recruitment team of Xincheng County, which had not been closed for a long time, started working again.

Qingliu, the part-time cashier HR, has come out again.

"Yes, it's still the same as before, the wages are settled on a daily basis, and let them go up with the captain to dig a reservoir first."

As soon as Qingliu posted the news, it immediately attracted attention again, and those experts who had previously dug the terraced fields quickly signed up.

As soon as the common people heard that this was to solve everyone's water diversion problem, more people immediately signed up.

Some people with high terraced fields were still worried before, and they had to carry water far behind. I didn't expect that the adults would help them solve it so soon.

There are many people and strength, the terraced fields have been repaired, and a small reservoir was completed in just one day.

Zhao Jun was also supervising the work, and was really shocked by their speed.

But the reservoir has been dug, what's the next step?

Zhao Jun looked at the dug reservoir. The waterfall fell vertically, and a small part of the water flowed into the reservoir.

But according to Zhao Jun's thinking, this reservoir is just a transfer station.

If the water stays here for a period of time, it will either go to the terraced fields, or return to the main force and flow to the mountains.

Now this cistern meets her requirements, because the waterfall is constantly falling, and when the water in the pool exceeds the limit, it will gush out and return to the original track.

Now we have to think about how to lead the water in the pool down.

Just dig a ditch on the other side?

Where does the water in the ditch finally flow, and what do you do when you don't want to water it?

Zhao Jun thinks that it is not enough to dig a ditch directly. It would be great if there are modern water pipes, and the problem of directly burying a section of water pipes will be solved.

But no, things like water pipes shouldn't be here right now.

What can be used instead of water pipes?
Zhao Jun thought of bamboo.

Try connecting hollow bamboo pieces together to act as water pipes.

Zhao Jun expressed this idea, and sent someone to cut some bamboos in the forest behind. Bamboos grow here.

A large pile of bamboo was piled up on the mountain. Zhao Jun looked at the mess and felt very tired, but he had no choice but to continue.

She started recruiting again, always asking for help.

First, cut off the head and tail of the bamboo to make it completely empty, and then put it in the top reservoir to see if it can enter the water normally.

At the beginning, the position of the outlet of the pool was too high, and the water could not flow into the bamboo pipe. Zhao Jun asked people to dig down the outlet.

If it is not in use, it will be no problem to use stones to raise the height.

The first bamboo tube was successfully passed through the water, and it will be much easier later.

One after another, each one must be lower than the previous one.

Also, this is a downward slope, and there must be a height difference to the terraced fields.

The previous steps have been carried out smoothly. Now that the water has finally been reserved for the terraced fields, it is time to consider the irrigation of each family.

"We divide three bamboo tubes at this position, and the connection position must be done well."

Zhao Jun stood at the boundary and explained.

She came down from the mountain all the way, helping to hold the bamboo, her hands and feet were full of mud.

There was also a lot of sweat on the face, and Qingliu wiped it off for her, but she couldn't keep up with her sweating speed.

"These three bamboo tubes go straight down, and when they flow through each terraced field, a hole is dug in the bamboo tube to let the water flow through here, so that the land of this terrace can be irrigated."

Zhao Jun adjusted the position of the bamboo tube while talking.

"However, it must be remembered that after the irrigation of the terraced fields of this stage is completed, the opening should be blocked again so that the water can continue to flow to the next stage without affecting the water flow below."

In the process of laying the bamboo pipes, Zhao Jun led people to work for two days.

When the bamboo pipes were almost laid and people poured water from above, some of the water could not flow into the ground because of the wrong position, so it took another day to adjust.

After confirming that all the bamboo pipes were in place and the water flowed smoothly, Mr. Zhao let out a long sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

Tired, really tired.

"My lord, this is really a god...human trace!"

Tan Ben said with surprise and flattery again.

"Okay, the experiment is complete, you call everyone over, let's put the water on again and see."

Although there is basically no problem, Zhao Jun still wants to officially open it again.

Let everyone take a look to see if the irrigation problem has been solved.
