When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 380 Inspection of Changping ([-])

"Zhou Si, you and I are both brothers and sisters. You grew up pulling ice armor, and I grew up pulling axes.

However, the biggest difference between you and me is that you raised Bingjia like a cub, and once he was old enough to work in the fields, I didn't care much about him and only gave him food.

Therefore, Bing Jia is not married yet, but Ax has gone south to live in Luyi. He wrote to me and told me that he was betrothed by Zixun to a woman from the same clan as Zixun.

Their child may be born within the next few years.

Look, even the ax is one step ahead of your ice armor. Are you really not in a hurry? "

"I..." Zhou Si was completely speechless.

Seeing the silence, Zeyu quickly said to Xinqu: "Clan Chief Xinqu, this is the end of the private matters, let's talk about business. The Ze family is living a good life here, can we not move south?"

"Okay." Xinqu nodded, "But you need to give up all the land near the southern water conservancy. I will rearrange people to build a small city there. The location there is very important, even if there is a flood or drought, I can’t move either, because I need to guard against someone coming out of the mountains.”

Zeyu looked at the other elders.

The elders were helpless. They were reluctant to leave, but if they didn't leave, there would be a group of unknown tribes behind them. If something happened...

"Of course, you can also choose to actively join the army in the future, and then after being promoted to a clan, each of you will be qualified to build a village.

People are mobile. The land and water resources here in Changping are limited. Because of the strange phenomenon in Quluo Lake, I had to go out to investigate the situation in person.It can be seen that Changping is actually not suitable as a capital city.

Within ten years, if I find suitable land, I may also relocate.

At that time, you can also choose to leave together, and then hand over the land here to some bastards so that they can continue to survive.

The purpose of our land reclamation and construction is not only for ourselves, but also for future generations.

As for the land fertility issue you are worried about.This has never been a problem.Because Sinong has basically solved the problem of land depletion.

After the New Year, Si Nong will send you the latest farming method, the Daitian method.

It can effectively reduce soil fertility consumption, regulate floods and droughts, and cultivate mature land within three to five years. "

As for the definition of cooked land, Ze and his colleagues accepted it last year.

However, the promotion of Daitian method was not fast. The reason was because Xinqu had been fighting in the past few years, and many tribes still focused on animal husbandry.

Only units such as towns, camps, and communes relied on the system of guaranteed food and implemented it by force.

The harvest increased last year, but production efficiency was still stuck due to the inefficiency of farming tools.

But it doesn't matter. Starting this year, Shouyun Iron Mine will be mined. Xinqu can have as many iron tools as he wants, and the farming efficiency near Changping can also be further improved.

Prioritize the use of equipment and farming tools, and everything will be fine in a few years.

Xin Qu was short of time.

After thinking about it, Zeyu decided to obey Xin Qu's order.

Because when it comes to major events, Xinqu rarely misses them.

"I choose to move south." Zeyu looked at the other elders, "What's your decision?"

The expressions of these elders changed slightly, but under the gazes of Xin and Zeyu, they could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, we are also moving south."

"You don't have to force it." Xin Qu smiled, "Since you have opened up a place here, I won't force it.

Let's do this, this place will be merged into Zeyi from now on and will be managed by you, Zeyu.I'll see next year. If there is a chance for war, I will give you a chance to go to the battlefield as soon as possible. If you are promoted to scholar-bureaucrat, then village control will be established here. "

"Thank you, Chief Xinqu." "You don't have to be too polite. I won't drink too much. In the afternoon, I will go up the mountain to see the upper reaches of Baiyanggou. The water level is too low this year. If it is not maintained, there will be a spring drought. If it is too dry, We have to change it to grazing, and plant some watermelons around Qingming Festival.”

Xinqu smiled. Agriculture needs structural adjustment. Every piece of land cannot be planted with the same kind of crops. Otherwise, if a natural disaster strikes, the whole army will be wiped out.

This is why the resilience of agricultural production is so high. After all, no matter how severe the drought is, at most some places will be affected by the disaster, but more places will still be productive.

Evenly, you can always keep most of the fundamentals.

The two smiled.

After a banquet, Xinqu took a rest. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, he went up the mountain under the leadership of Zeyu.

The cofferdam reservoir deep in Baiyanggou.

Xin Qu stepped on the weir, then took out a shovel and tried to break through the soil. He found that there were dense grass roots inside, and then he said with satisfaction: "Yes, the grass has grown. After spring, the grass and soil cofferdam can be There is still a lot of water, but it is barely used. If you have time and energy, you still need to mobilize manpower and reserve more stones. Then build earth-rock dams to store water and divert floods. In addition, willow trees are planted, which is the most important. important."

Today's water conservancy facilities are relatively simple and crude, and the most commonly used ones are grass and soil cofferdams.

It is a water-retaining structure formed by gradually piling up a layer of grass, a layer of soil, and a layer of grass and soil in the water.

Then willow trees will be planted on the edge of this cofferdam.

Xinqu stepped on the ice and was sure it was still frozen, but a closer look revealed that there was too little snow.

It seems that the culprit has been found. The snow in and outside the mountains this year is not large enough, which means that last year was actually a mild winter.

Warm winter...

Xin Qu frowned slightly. If it was a warm winter, there should be no people on the grassland heading south in large numbers, unless the cold air was staying further north.

Isn't that...

Xin Qu's face changed slightly and became tense. If it was because of the ocean current affecting the north, wouldn't it mean that the grassland would experience terrible snowfall this spring, and then a severe drought would begin in the summer.

There was a severe drought in the summer, with no grass growing, and even the cattle and sheep could not survive. In the autumn and winter, they had to find a way to go south.

This is the disadvantage of nomadism. Without any savings, if you can't survive, you can only rob.

It seems that if you want to play Qiong Fang, you must choose the right time.

"What's wrong?" Zeyu asked curiously when he saw Xinqu was stunned.

"Aha, it's nothing. I just saw fish under the ice. Good thing...good thing."

Xin Qu laughed loudly, went up to the cofferdam again, inspected the ice layer and water level here, and then chatted a few words and said: "During spring plowing, water is very important. Please arrange for No. [-] people to clear the area behind. Cut down the trees and dig deeper to create more water storage space.”

"Okay, I will arrange it." Zeyu nodded.

"Also, there may be a lot of rain at the turn of spring and summer. My suggestion is that you should not live here during spring and summer. Move south to the city and dredge the river along the way, just in case."

Xinqu couldn't guarantee that if there was snow in the grassland, it would lead to rain in the south of Shannan.

But now it feels like a drought, so we need to reserve more.

Anyway, deepening the reservoir and dredging the river are all to deal with related problems. Along the way, pond mud can also be produced to fertilize the land, killing two birds with one stone.

After finishing his exploration of Baiyanggou, Xinqu rested for one night and then went to Quluo Lake the next day.
