When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 483: Don’t do it quickly

On the third day, Xin Qu hurried to Luanping Market with three hundred Qingqi.

At this time, more than ten thousand people had gathered in Luanping Market, and a large-scale armed fight broke out.

Fortunately, as soon as Xin Qu's cavalry appeared, these people calmed down immediately.

No one wants to be killed by You Xin at this time.

Xinqu rode his horse to the gathering place of the elders of the Jin family, which was also the residence of the Jinjiu.

dismount.

Xun Falcon came over to help Xin Qu lead his horse.

"How is the situation?" Xin Qu asked Yu Falcon.

Yu Falcon sighed and said: "The situation is not good, the patriarch's right hand is broken."

"What's going on? Lulong's terrain is not low-lying, nor is it close to a slope. How could it be suddenly washed away?"

Xinqu frowned in confusion.

"It should be related to the rolling dam of Yanghe River."

Before Yan Falcon could speak, Meng Kuan had already answered at the door. Her face was pale and haggard, and it was obvious that the disaster during this period had made her too busy.

Xin Qu was stunned when he heard this: "How did you build the rolling dam? And you chose Yanghe River?"

"Come in and talk, it's raining heavily outside."

Meng Kuang greeted Xin Qu and walked in.

Then I saw a group of dejected elders and a map posted on the screen.

Xin Qu just glanced at the map, and his expression changed: "Are you crazy? Don't you know that the amount of sediment in Yanghe River is very high? You actually chose this location to impound it?

He even built an eight-mile-long grass-wrapped mud cofferdam.

Don't tell me, have you been busy with this this year? "

Xinqu just took one look and immediately realized the problem.

Then he looked at the other elders and found that each of them was crestfallen and did not argue. He immediately understood why he was asked to help in a flood.

Damn it! Go crazy!

How much does it take to start a big project of this scale?

If this was the south, there would definitely not be much problem with this. However, the problem is that the Yanghe River belongs to the shallow mountainous and abundant water area of ​​Yanshan Mountain. The upper reaches of the river basin are long from east to west and short from north to south. In addition, the river slope is steep, and the source is short and the current is fast.

Whenever there is a heavy rain, the floods fall sharply. The floods have the characteristics of high peak, large volume, fierce momentum, and short duration.

Use grass wrapped in mud to store water. Once the water is too high and saturated, the damn thing won't collapse until you see it!

"They also wanted to store water..." Meng Kuan was a little nervous, but she didn't expect Xin Qu to be so angry.

"I've only had a collapse once." Xin Qu said angrily, "A few years ago, when I first tried to build a weir to store water, Changping almost got flooded.

Don't tell me, you guys haven't heard of this.

Any cofferdam requires constant debugging. As a result, you started such a big project right away. It’s not like you are short of water in this area!

There is not enough water in Yanghe River, and there are Qinglong River and Luanshui River next door.

You don't need to forget it, you still have to use cofferdams to store water, and then guide the river to Luanshui River.

What's the use of damming up the Yanghe River?

The Yanghe River flows into the sea alone, and when the sediment is deposited, it can also create large tidal flats for you in the future.

At this stage, Yanghe River does not need to be managed at all! "

Xinqu complained angrily.

"The land is sufficient, but the water is often cut off in summer. We asked many members of the Guzhu clan who have lived in the local area and got a lot of records of water shortages from them."

An elder stood up and argued dissatisfiedly, but he still sent a stack of bamboo slips.

Xinqu just shook his head and glanced, his cheek twitching slightly: "The upper reaches is cut off, you can dig a separate canal to connect to the Qinglong River.

Then dig deep into a slightly higher place to make a lake.

There is absolutely no need to go to the cofferdam!

Cofferdams are not 100% effective.

Usually the cofferdam made of grass and mud is about two meters high. If you want to expand your savings, you need to widen it and choose a gentle space.

The water in the Yanghe River Basin accumulates in summer. When it rains suddenly, it will not only carry sediment, but also wash down dead branches and driftwood from the mountains.

I don't know that you are so quick and aggressive when you have no control over small-scale cofferdams. If I knew, I would object to you.

You are short of food, and I will provide some assistance later.

I'll lend you a loan in the meantime.

The interest rate won’t be high, but it won’t be too low either. During this period of time, you have all collapsed, and there is basically no way to continue production.

Within this year, half of the young people will leave with me.

I need to excavate the main road of Haihe River, but I still lack manpower.

You leave half of it to be responsible for repairing the subsequent land, and I will arrange for guidance. "

After Xinqu finished speaking, he collected the document: "It is not easy for humans to conquer nature. The easiest way to deal with rivers is to dredge them instead of blocking them.

We also need to find ways to impound and store water. If we really need water, we might as well choose to dig lakes.

The natural terrain is faster and more convenient than you think to build a cofferdam.

Any questions? "

The elders looked at each other, then looked at Meng Kuan.

Meng Kuan calmed down for a while and said, "Then you have to ensure that Qingzhuang who goes with you can come back later."

"Don't worry, the Xin family will not recruit too many people in the near future. Even if they join, they can only be naturalized. I have to hurry up and finish dredging the main road of Haihe River.

Originally, I planned to arrange for people to come over the next year and start adjusting the flow of Luanshui River and Qinglong River.

With this being done now, I’d better stop the second phase of the Nanwuding River project and come over next year to help you dig a few lakes to save you from water shortage. "

After Xin Qu finished speaking, the group of elders nodded with satisfaction.

"Then if the second phase of the Nanwuding River project is not dug, will there be any problems?" Meng Kuang frowned slightly. The Wuding River was not a good river for Xin Qu.

She still knew this.

Xin Qu shook his head slightly: "If we don't dig the second phase of the project, the direction of the Wuding River will go straight to Zhuoshui. When I finish the first phase of the project in autumn, next summer if there is as much rainfall as this year, the area near Zhuoshui The tribe will definitely be flooded."

The corner of Meng Kuang's mouth twitched slightly: "I remember that the tribe near Zhuoshui seems to be - Jishi?"

"Yes, it's them." Xin Qu curled his lips and said disdainfully, "They also came to cause trouble this year. Although they retreated immediately as soon as I came back, they still took away a lot of my cattle and sheep.

I originally thought that I would trouble them again in three years, just in time to plunder some people.

Looking at it now, it's rinsed with water.

As long as they are unable to dredge the water, once the water of Wuding River washes down, their tribe will probably be destroyed. "

"Then why do you want to do the second phase?" This question was not asked by Meng Kuan, but by Yujiu who had closed his eyes and said nothing before.

He woke up, his face was pale and almost colorless.

"The patriarch is awake!"

"Great!" Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing him asking this question as soon as he woke up, Xin Qu couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, after I finish sorting out the main trunk of the Haihe River, I will start digging the water channel to the south.

After convenience, our ship entered Jizhou in the south directly through the canal.

The water from Wuding River is specially replenished for the canal in summer, between spring and summer.

I have planned six phases in the direction of Wuding River, and the first two phases will be completed in the next three years.

After the sixth phase of excavation is completed, Wuding River can be renamed Yongding River. "

After Xinqu explained with a smile, Yujiu nodded slightly: "Then I will make them obey your orders. I was about to wake up just now and heard a lot of your exchanges. I was indeed hasty this time.

I thought the cofferdam was a very simple thing, but I didn't expect there were so many ways inside.

I still need to study more after that. "

"You'd better assign a water officer to be responsible for water conservancy research. I don't even dare to do this right away. You guys are really big-hearted."

After Xin Qu finished speaking, Jiu Jiu also nodded: "Then elders, go out quickly and arrange for some clan members to go out and work for the Xin family. Let's get through this year first, and then talk about other things."

"Yes!"

"Then you take good care of yourself and I'll take care of the other things." Meng Kuan saw Yujiu's gaze and spoke quickly.

"Thank you." Yujiu took a deep breath and felt a little confused.

"Everyone, please go out and don't make any noise."

After coming out, the elders all left, and Yu Falcon was responsible for security.

Xinqu pondered deeply before leaving. Meng Kuan looked at it for a while and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering if some of the projects I designed can be postponed. Today's incident also reminds me that I can't start work too fast, otherwise something will happen easily."
