Chapter 258: Water Diversion and Canal Digging
Because of the drastic changes in the world and the revival of spiritual energy, these things allowed cultivators to experience. When Li Xingyi found out about this, he was very surprised. Luo Siyun didn't know who he would tell about it later. After knowing that he had no intention of leaving for the time being, he arranged a courtyard for him to live in the mansion.

She was quite generous. She didn't let him live in the guest room, but directly allocated the west yard of the front yard to him.

She was thinking that since she lived in the backyard, the front yard would be empty anyway, so someone could move in to add some liveliness and save it from dust.

Half a month passed slowly.

Luo Siyun completed the tasks that needed to be done as a leader very early, which was rare. Seeing that it was still early, she decided to go to the lake to take a look.

Two days ago, Liu Ma said that the water storage in several large lakes at the foot of the northwest mountain was almost full, and they had to start considering digging river embankments to divert water, so she asked her to go and take a look.

Those large lakes had dried up because of the bend in the river. Before the tribe was established, the indigenous people used them to raise sheep and cattle.

Because the terrain there is low-lying and the soil is fertile, the grass that grows there is tender and fragrant, and grows well. Cows and sheep can stand on it and get a full meal without even moving their feet.

After Luo Siyun arrived, he saw this piece of land and thought it was a bit of a waste to just use it to grow grass. Standing on the mountain, overlooking the entire large lake area, he found that these large lakes were relatively concentrated and blocked by hills. If they were filled with water, they could be used to irrigate the fertile fields downstream...

The terrain is low-lying, so there is no need to worry about mountain torrents washing away and affecting the villages downstream... The concentrated distribution is conducive to management... The hills in the middle are blocked by water, so they can be used to raise poultry without worrying about wild animals on the mountains causing damage...

There are many advantages, which is always better than planting grass.

Luo Siyun thought about it again and again, and after some investigation, he decided to restore this place into a lake.

First, they had people dig a canal from the mountain, and then they found a way to open up the isolated mountain road, bring in mountain springs, and pour them into the lake.

Because the mountain spring is backed by the Daqing Mountain, there is no fear of it drying up, but the water output is limited after all. The capacity of those large lakes cannot be underestimated, so water storage began after the mountain canal was dug in the middle of the previous year. After two years of cold winter, it continued for another half a year this year, and until today, the lakes were just filled up.

The time span was so long that Luo Siyun almost forgot the existence of the lake.

Fortunately, the lake is finally almost full.

Diverting water and digging canals are big things, and Luo Siyun was not going to be lazy and decided to go and see it himself.

As for why the canals were not dug before the lake was full, it was because these things could not be done while the water was stored. Only when the lake was almost full could we determine where the low-lying areas were, where it was appropriate to dig canals to divert water, and where to reinforce and raise the height...

These are not as simple as just opening your mouth, pointing your finger and digging where you point. There must be a basis. After all, once water is stored, it becomes a reservoir. Although the reservoir looks beautiful at ordinary times, it can be very dangerous when heavy rain or mountain torrents occur.

If the dam breaks, it will be even more deadly. At the very least, it will destroy a large area of ​​farmland, and at worst, it will flood mountain villages and towns. It is not impossible that there will be many casualties...

Therefore, the construction of reservoirs must be done with caution. It is best to be far away from towns while ensuring supply within the city. It would be even better if it does not endanger people when flash floods occur.

Although Luo Siyun didn't understand, she had seen pork even though she had seen a pig run. In her previous life, she had come into contact with many reservoirs, mountains, lakes and rivers, and she had also read about them on the Internet. Over time, she could tell a lot about them.

Thinking in his mind, Luo Siyun walked out of the conference hall, walked around the corridor, and prepared to go out.

Outside the yard, Shitou was trying to carry a wooden barrel that was half his height and half filled with water. It looked very heavy and was staggering towards the two plum trees outside the corridor.

His task today was to clean the open space in the yard and water the flowers and plants outside the corridor.

These flowers and plants were all planted by the chief herself. It can be said that all the flowers and plants in the entire chief's mansion were planted by the chief herself. The chief cherishes flowers and likes to take care of them personally, but she is very busy, so except for a few very precious and difficult to care for flowers and plants, the rest are assigned to servants to take care of.

This one is no exception.

Shitou is on duty today. In the morning, he had already taken care of the flowers and plants in the yard. Now only these two plum trees are left.

While he was carrying the barrel, he saw Luo Siyun. He was not surprised, put it down and bent down respectfully.

"Chief An!"

"Yeah." Luo Siyun responded casually as usual, and glanced at him subconsciously. When he saw his childish face, his eyes raised slightly.

"Ok?"

"Chief, what's wrong?" Xiaoxi, who had been following behind him silently, asked subconsciously after looking at Shi Tou who was standing respectfully outside the corridor.

"Nothing." Glancing at Shi Tou who was standing there stiffly because of her unusual tone of voice, Luo Siyun shook her head, said nothing, and continued walking forward, but the smile on her face disappeared.

"Is the leader... unhappy?" Looking at the backs of the master and servant walking away, Shitou stood where he was, touched his head, and his voice sounded a little confused... Looking at the leader's increasingly faster pace, Xiaoxi was a little confused.

What happened to the leader?

Why do you look so angry after seeing that servant?

She wanted to ask what was wrong, but seeing that Luo Siyun's air pressure was so low, she didn't dare to. She just silently quickened her pace and tried to keep up.

Luo Siyun was indeed angry, but not very angry. She was just a little curious as to why that boy was working in the mansion.

If she remembered correctly, she had said before the palace was built that no one under the age of thirteen should be hired into the palace.

The mansion has been built for less than three years, and none of the old people in the mansion have been replaced. They are all people she trusts!
But no matter how much she trusted him, it was no reason to ignore her words.

She wanted to see who was so bold as to ignore her words!
Thinking about it, Luo Siyun's eyes flickered slightly, and he had already decided in his heart that he should reorganize the talents under his command during this period of time!
Now that the tribe is growing stronger, it has attracted the attention of some people. It is estimated that many people have been planning to attack the tribe. The situations that have occurred one after another in the past few days have given her a reminder.

Facts have proved that in order to resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country!
Without internal unity, how can we withstand the storms?

How can the tribe grow stronger if it focuses all its energy on fighting for power and profit...

She doesn't want to become like Zhuge Liang, whose life can be summarized by the phrase 'dying before accomplishing his mission'. That would be miserable for her!

"Xiao Xi, go check for me what the boy's name is, how old he is, and why he is working in the mansion." After leaving the mansion, Luo Siyun said when he saw the horse parked in front of the gate. Without waiting for Xiao Xi's reaction, he jumped on the horse and headed straight out of the city.

"Ah?" Luo Xiaoxi was stunned as she watched Luo Siyun's receding back.

"No, you can't abandon me even if you ask me to investigate!"

……

The west courtyard in front of the chief’s mansion.

"Sir, the people and things we brought have been settled!" Yuan An walked in from outside and said to Li Xingyi, "The things we brought for Miss Luo have also been handed over to Miss Lumei. Miss Lumei said she would report to Miss Luo."

"Yeah!" Li Xingyi nodded.

"The letter Yuanfu sent said that the old lady... and the army... want you to go back." Yuan An said again.

"Let's talk about these things after I get back." Li Xingyi waved his hand.

"Sir, why do you want to stay here for a long time? You are busy with military affairs and cannot..." Seeing that Li Xingyi's eyes were becoming more and more dangerous, Yuan An silently swallowed the last word.

"What do you know?" Li Xingyi sneered.

"Although there is chaos everywhere, I have verified it carefully. If there is to be a major war, we have to wait until the rainy season is over. If we go back now, we can only train our soldiers. What else can we do?"

"I might as well practice here. If I don't understand something, I can ask Luo Siyun."

"By the way, how are you practicing?" After knowing that the world now allows people to practice, Li Xingyi immediately asked Yuan An, who had been following him, to practice.

I asked Luo Siyun for the cultivation method.

Well, it's worth a thousand gold.

In fact, there is also a library in his mansion, but he is far away in the Central Region now, and he doesn’t know how long it will take to return to the capital.

Li Xingyi would not leave just for Yuan An to practice. After all, he had finally come here. If it was at the border, he could consider it, but this time he was not here.

Why does the Duke's Mansion have a cultivation method? It is because this world was used to allow cultivation. The method could not be used all of a sudden, but it was not thrown away and was treasured in the library. Now that it can be cultivated, it can naturally be taken out. The reason why it cannot be cultivated is due to the world. Why the world allows cultivators to appear now will be explained in a few chapters, so let's not talk about it for now.

There are all kinds of skills, but after all, it has been stopped for such a long time, and many people do not trust these skills and think they are all fake. However, there are also powerful people who can calculate the changes in the world and can practice them. In other words, it is definitely not only Cen Xiang and the heroine's people who can practice them. These people will appear later.

Don't say that taking out the skills will lead to changes in the direction of this world. It has been deduced before, but due to special reasons, it was suspended for a period of time.
