Ninety-nine pretty daughter-in-law has space

Chapter 28
Chen Minjun wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, "My niece, we have managed the dam in Xiayang Village for decades. Now that it is repaired, it can still be used for decades. Can a bridge be compared to it?"

"I originally wanted to add a fence directly, but the dam has been damaged too badly, and adding a fence is useless."

"If we don't mend the dam, just build a bridge, and there are no obstacles to stop the water, then the water will just flow down and drown the crops?"

Concubine Su looked at the river flowing in front of her, and shook her head, "The bridge is only for the convenience of crossing, and it can also last for decades or hundreds of years. Besides, to stop the water, only dams can be used as obstacles."

"If you want to make good use of this river, so that it doesn't lose its dam or flood the crops, wouldn't it be good to dredge it?"

"dredge?"

Su Mingui was not in a hurry to eat. Seeing that Su concubine had not left after delivering the meal, he set up a dragon gate formation with the villagers, "Whether the bridge is repaired or not, Brother Chen, don't listen to her. She is just a little girl, If you haven’t read the book, how can you understand this?”

Even he has lived for decades without knowing a better way, so how could Miss Su know.

"Hey, brother Su, I'm talking to my little niece, why are you interrupting, I think what my little niece said makes sense." Chen Minjun waved his hand, "Niece, go ahead and talk, how can you unblock it?"

Su Yu continued: "We have more than 100 people in Xiayang Village, hundreds of acres of land, crops need water, washing and cooking need water, and there are few wells and we need to carry water for food. The Zimu River is so big, and the annual water flow is not small. , enough for the daily food and drink expenses of the villagers."

"Niece means..."

"Yes."

Concubine Su nodded, "It's to divert water and dredge the river."

"Diverting water? Dredging the river?" Several big men were puzzled, but they felt hot in their hearts, and felt that Su Yu's words sounded quite reasonable.

Xiayang Village couldn't develop, and the higher-ups didn't pay much attention to this area. The officials changed one after another, and each planted this and that according to their own ideas.

As a result, the harvest was not only bad, but also several sloping fields were abandoned.They can't grow much food every year, and naturally they can't even raise many chickens and ducks.

Now that Su concubine talks about diverting water and dredging rivers, can these problems be solved?It seems... unlikely, right?

"My niece, the water diversion you mentioned was thought about before. But what if the water is diverted to dredge the river, and the sediment is washed away? Won't it be blocked?"

They are downstream here, and there is a lot of sediment deposition. If the water is allowed to flow down to irrigate the crops, won't the sand follow it?
"So, it is necessary to store water and sand."

"Store water and sand?"

Chen Minjun and the others became more and more confused. They understood the literal meaning, but when they thought about it carefully, they couldn't figure it out.

"Yeah." Concubine Su took a closer look at the river water, "The water quality in our Xiayang Village is good and has not been polluted. If we can use it, our village will be able to develop well."

"At least, every household can have food and meat like Shangyang Village, without worrying about food and clothing. It's even better than them."

This is also the purpose of her coming here today to deliver meals. She has to take a long-term view and make plans early.

Those who can build dams here are the main labor force of the family, and they basically have weight at home.

If you give them a general introduction to river control first, it will be much easier to implement management in the future.

She not only wants to make money for herself, but also really wants to drive the people of Xiayang Village to develop well, start from scratch, and make Xiayang Village famous.

If she becomes rich and drives the whole village to become rich, she will naturally have a stronger backing in the future, based on the whole village and the whole village's industry.

Later, she never expected that when she was in a very serious trouble, at the moment of life and death, the whole village and even Pingyang County would actually become her most powerful backing.

Chen Minjun and the others couldn't understand anything else, but the words 'development', 'food and meat', and 'food and clothing' caught their ears every word, and their hearts were shocked.

"Niece, is what you said true?" He held the hoe, his eyes glowed, "Can Xiayang Village really develop? Better than Shangyang Village?"
