The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 128 Cement for Grain!
Hand-rubbing trigger grenade is not too difficult for Song Yingkui. Although he is not at the level of an eighth-level fitter, after crossing, he has done more hand-rubbing work, and his level has improved quite quickly.If he continues to progress at this rate, he may really become a senior fitter.

It's just that Song Yingkui can't concentrate on technology now, the burden on his body is too heavy, and there are too many chores for him to worry about.

For example, he is required to fix the plank for leveling the canals of the irrigated land. Those places must use cement canals, and those places can be settled with solid soil, which is impossible for ordinary people.

"At the mouth of Yanchuan River, which crosses Shiping and enters Goujiahezhuang, lead a canal into the root of the mountain. The canal goes directly along the root of the mountain until it leaves the Goujia River and then leads to the main river. I looked at this section, and the middle is uneven. There are a lot of uneven ditches and ridges, so we can only use empty soil to make flat pads. The biggest problem with the padded soil is that it cannot withstand blisters. Therefore, the main channel in this section must be paved with pre-built cement slabs, and the amount of work is relatively large.

The land along Chuanzi Shangxiazhuang is relatively flat, and there is no difference between the Chuandi in the root of the mountain and the Chuandi on the riverside, so this section of the channel should go from the middle of the Sichuandi, and pass directly from the entrance of the entrance of the river to pass through the Yanchuan Xiazhuang. The canal can enter the river at Xiaohezi River.Except for the cement used in the first section, the other channels are made with soil first.

The water in Xiaohezi is relatively small. First, repair the canal in the upper village of Liujiaying at the mouth of the Niutou River, and then look at the situation.If there is enough water this year, next year the canal in Liujiaying Xiazhuang will also be repaired.As for the above projects, the channel along Chuanzi must be completed before the end of April, the channel in Liujiaying and Shangzhuang must be completed before the end of May, and the channel project in Goujiahezhuang is relatively large, and it will take a whole year to complete.

All refugees above the age of eight in Yanchuan City must participate in the project as long as they do active work. The salary standard ranges from [-] Wen to [-] Wen per day, and is divided into five grades depending on labor ability.If they work stealthily, play tricks, and reduce expenses, it is really unbearable, so they will be expelled from the engineering team and left to fend for themselves. "

Almost all the strong laborers among the refugees have been recruited into the workshop system, and most of the rest are old and weak women and children, but it is not impossible to use them for the canal repair work.

The food crisis is just around the corner, but the weather waits for no one. The refugees have almost no food reserves, and their mouths can't wait.So no matter how difficult it is, the planning project must be started.

With the start of Sichuan land reclamation and wasteland reclamation projects, the entire Fifth Battalion became busy, as if it had become a large construction site.Immediately afterwards, the season of spring plowing came.

When riding a horse to inspect the Wuying countryside, Song Yingkui acted calmly and encouraged everyone to hurry up and work, but at the same time, he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and panicked when he had no food in his hands.The stall is so big, what can we do if we run out of food?
"Master Garrison, Wei Dadao brought people to the wolf pass and said that he wanted to see the Lord." When Goujiahe was inspecting the laying of the channel, Yang Shun'an, who stayed behind at the Fifth Battalion, rode his horse to tell the story.

"Wei Dadao? What is he doing here at such a time? Are there many people with him?" The distance between Wei Jiachuan and the Fifth Battalion is very far, and the middle is almost entirely under the control of the Xifan Army. Wei Dadao made it so hard to get to the Fifth Battalion. Could it be that he couldn't stay in Weijiachuan anymore and went to Wuying to take refuge in himself?
"A total of ten riders, he didn't tell Lord Liang the specific purpose of his visit."

Ten to ride?Then it shouldn't come to rely on oneself.It doesn't matter what he is here for, let's go for a meeting first.

"Brother Wei, seeing you and me today is really like a lifetime away." Seeing Wei Dadao at the Wolf Gate, Song Yingkui couldn't help expressing emotion.

"Yeah! It's really a vicissitudes of life, you and I have become people who are separated. Brother, brother can't leave the camp for a long time, so I can only make a long story short. I came here today to ask my brother to see the love of killing the enemy together. Come on, help brother!"

"Brother, did something difficult happen to you? Didn't you say that you and the Xifan people have already made peace? Could there be anything bigger than this?"

"What kind of handshake! Whether it's against the people of Xi Fan or me, Wei Jiachuan, everyone knows that it's just a tactic to slow down the army. Last year, the Xi Fan army was eager to occupy more of Dazheng's abandoned land, and I Wei Jiachuan The guards of Jiachuan died again, and they agreed that I would keep the troops and pay tribute to the self-government when the idle soldiers could not break through. But now, they have taken all that should be occupied, and when it is time to free up, I, Wei Jiachuan, left Wazhou City again. They are so close, how can they let them go?"

"What my brother said is also true. Wei Jiachuan is too close to Wazhou, but your side happens to be a big river bend, and there is a dangerous river across the river from Wazhou City. As long as the vassals are not allowed to cross the river, they will be safe and secure. business." Weijiachuan is more geographically favorable than Wuying, the Yellow River enters Sichuan from the mouth of Weijiachuan gorge, turns a big bay, and then exits through Lower Weijiachuan gorge.There are endless mountains in the north of Sichuan, big rivers in the south, gorges in the east and west, and the land of Sichuan is still large, so it is a good place to guard against danger.

"It's not difficult to guard the river carefully. My son from the Wei family is good at using rafts, and the water quality is good. They can't take advantage of the river. What I'm afraid of now is that the princes will come from the north gorge, which is tens of feet wide. The corridor of the vassal's cavalry is overwhelmingly overwhelmed, and it is difficult to defend. I came to find my brother today, and I heard that Shi Tietou and others in Gancheng said that you have a kind of stone mud that can build a stone city. I want you to see it. In terms of our love, let’s give some rocks and mud. And what’s more, can the fire dragon on your side also give some to your brother?”

Did Wei Dachuan come to find cement and firearms?Firearms must not be given to him, but cement can be considered!
"The number of firearms in Wuying is scarce. If you give some to my brother, my Wuying will have no support to fight against the vassals. It is difficult to give firearms to others for the sake of my father in Wuying. But apart from firearms, there are some on my side. Stone cannons, and made a few bed crossbows, if my brother builds a stone fort at the mouth of the gorge, it should not be difficult to guard the gorge with these and prevent the vassals from entering Sichuan!"

"My dear brother, can't the firearms be given to brother equally?" Wei Dadao was very unwilling to give up, and wanted to fight for the last time.

"The main reason is that the elders of Wuying did not agree. My brother is really powerless."

"Well! With the stone mud for building the stone fortress, bed crossbows, and stone cannons, you can be sure of guarding the mouth of the gorge. Brother, thank you for your righteousness here!"

"Brother, don't thank me in a hurry. I have a difficult problem here and I need my help. The fifth battalion took in too many refugees last year, and now there is a shortage of food. I don't know if my brother has extra food for my brother. Even some, I'll exchange stone mud and city defense weapons with my brother." Friendship is friendship, but you can't ask for help in vain. Weijiachuan is a large land and a wide paddy field. It is a well-known and wealthy place far and near, so there must be food in stock!Exchanging cement, bed crossbows, and stone cannons for food is a win-win situation for both parties, and it depends on whether you choose or not.
