Chapter 177 Flood Fighting

The rain was still falling, and Xinquren sat on the corridor to bake the charcoal pot. He had to pay attention to the drainage situation in the direction of Xinshui at all times.

"Chief, these bamboo pipes drain a lot of water."

Xin Qu walked to the city gate corridor. Lu Jia came down from the arrow tower and pointed to the bamboo tube deliberately embedded in the rammed earth city.

At this time, these bamboo pipes were like faucets on full fire, spewing surging water into the moat.

"And it has already begun to invade the soil." Lu Jia said worriedly.

Xinqu watched for half a day, but the bamboo drainage pipes were already leaking turbid water, which meant that the rainwater had begun to soak the surface of the rammed earth.

It can be seen that such heavy rain is still very scary.

I don’t know if the rammed earth wall I built can withstand the test of this heavy rain.

"It's okay. We added a lot of grass to the rammed earth to build the foundation. Just because water invades it doesn't mean it will collapse immediately.

However, lack of timely drainage is also a problem.You go and open the stack that was left on the drainage outlet in the city, and then get a clay pipe from the warehouse to let the rainwater drain into the ditch in the city. "

"Yes!" Lu Jia nodded.

Not long after, Xin Qu saw that the part of the corridor in the city was already spewing turbid water.

Xinqu sat by the brazier, holding charcoal and writing and drawing quietly.

The clansmen in the corridor were originally nervous and uneasy, but seeing Xin Qu so calm and composed, they became much calmer.

"The next time a new city is built, the drainage troughs must be replaced with stone troughs." Xinqu murmured in a low voice as he wrote, "Also, the rammed earth city must be changed into a brick-and-earth structure, otherwise it will just be Drainage alone can kill people.

Next is the aqueduct. The pipe type is useful, but it is only useful for dealing with waterlogging in the city.

If we hadn't planned to open a lake in the northeast corner to store water, there would have been waterlogging this time.

Therefore, when technology is insufficient, rivers and moats within the city are important means of drainage. However, a lake can be built in the city to serve as a reservoir when necessary.

In this way, the water in the city can also have a place to accumulate, and the water in the moat and main river can be drained out first. Several lakes inside and outside the city are specially used to make time differences.

No wonder those ancient cities care so much about the construction of rivers within the city. We need to learn from this.

The lakes outside the city may also need to be greatly improved. For example, the river beach next to Jiubu is the intersection of several large and small rivers nearby. Once it rains on such a large scale, it will definitely be flooded.

So we have to transform these river networks, or just build a lake?

Don’t make a decision in a hurry, wait until it rains and then check the hydrology to see how to fix it. "

Xinqu summed up his experience without noticing that time passed by.

And Shi Wu and the others are already here.

When someone heard Shi Wu's voice, everyone saw a dark group of people appear.

It was the belated arrival of Shi Wu, the Qi Fang caravan, and the people of the Feng clan.

Now only the south gate can pass, because Xinqu and his people stayed here, watching the moat and the discharge of Xin water.

Wei Shanzhou saw the linen bags and sand blocked by the moat, and couldn't help but nodded: "This method is good, you can learn it, go back and store more linen bags, fill it with soil and sand when necessary, pile it directly by the river and pour it in with waterproofing Within the city.”

Other knowledgeable people in Qi also silently remembered that it might be useful to go back.

And Xin Qu was saying to Shi Wu, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Clan leader, I brought Feng with me. It's probably flooded over there in the old tribe." Shi Wu said helplessly, "This rain is so heavy that it may not happen even once in 100 years."

Hearing this, Xin Qu smiled and said: "I have already vacated the house. I also sent people to inform the old department to move here quickly if the water starts to overflow. It seems that I met you on the road."

"Yes. But this sea beast is still too scary! Unheard of!" Shi Wu and Xin Qu were about the same age.

In my memory, the summer and autumn rains around Changping were a little heavier, but they were not as huge as they are now.As a result, this time, just like the water overflowing the golden mountains, the swamps were instantly submerged into lakes.

It was completely different from the previous drought that turned into a grassland and now it has turned into a lake.

Xin Qu looked at them who were all soaked and told them: "Take off your wet clothes quickly, wipe your body clean and put on dry clothes, so that you will not be easily infected by the wind and cold.

Let the kitchen prepare ginger soup for the arriving tribesmen to drink.

Let the big guys squeeze into the vacated house.Conditions are limited. Please wait a moment. This heavy rain will probably pass in a few days. "

"Yes!"

After greeting the others, Xin Qu continued: "Although this rain is rare in a hundred years, it made me more determined to build a good river channel. During this time, I asked the tribesmen to dig the river, catch loaches, and scoop up the mud.

After dredging, the river channel was able to withstand the current rain, otherwise Changping would have been flooded long ago.

In short, everyone has worked hard and their efforts have been rewarded. It can be seen that as long as we work hard, a heavy rain will not drown us! "

Xinqu's words made the tribesmen in the corridor happy, but also a little embarrassed. After all, they were opposed to Xinqu's plan to dig the river in the early stage.

If it weren't for digging the river to find food, and with droughts in all directions, everyone would not have a good harvest, let alone trade. Xinqu said that this was the only efficient way to obtain food, and they would definitely not do it.

But now that I have done it, if I look closely, I can see that it is quite effective.

"Clan leader, this is Elder Weishanzhou from Qifang." Shi Wu quickly introduced Weishanzhou after Xinqu finished speaking and the clan members filed in.

Xin Qu nodded and performed a ceremony in the dim light of the corridor: "Welcome to you, friends of Qi Fangguo. It's raining heavily now, so I can't discuss it with your department for the time being. Let's take a rest first and wait for the rain. How about we talk in more detail?"

"As the guest does, the host does as he pleases." Wei Shanzhou nodded.

Although the Xin family seems to be as stable as Mount Tai, the rain is indeed extremely heavy, and even if they want to talk about things, they have to wait.

"Then Shi Wu, take a walk for me, and then ask Elder Dianke to take good care of the guests." Xinqu smiled.

"Okay." Shi Wu led these people away.

After a while, Feng Tuo came to Xin Qu and said, "My family members have brought a lot of food, which is all wet. I quickly asked the strong laborers to carry it to the kitchen and eat it first in the evening."

"Okay." Xin Qu nodded.

Arrange the well-fed laborers to move the food brought by the Feng tribe to the kitchen.

Feng Tuo looked at the wind and rain and said with emotion: "I didn't expect it wouldn't rain for half a year, but now it's so scary. I don't know what it will be like in other places."

"What can we do? It must be thousands of miles across the country. There may even be wind and snow blowing in half a month, and the entire swamp will be frozen into a glacial lake. This water cannot be discharged to the sea, and it will all accumulate in the swamp, which is quite impressive. People are desperate.

If the water in the swamp can be directed to the sea, and it can be released no matter what rain happens in the future, then it will be a fertile land.

It's a mess now. "

Xinqu said helplessly.

Feng Tuo didn't say much, just nodded: "Then I'll go back and take care of the clansmen, you can be careful."

"Okay." Xinqu continued to look at his water, not knowing how long it would take this time.

If it overflows the river bank tonight, then this year the tribe will be exhausted, and they will have to fight against all opinions to widen and deepen the main trunk of Xinshui.

Otherwise, a bigger and more violent rain than this next year will be even more fatal.

"Clan leader! Clan leader! The water... the water suddenly surged by half a step!"

"What!" Xin Qu's expression suddenly changed and he ran over quickly.

"Clan leader, your coir raincoat and bamboo hat!"
