The three kinds of disasters make people shiver when they think about it.

"Nephew Liu xiannephew, you are right. We have seen these signs. However, when we have been living well these years, our vigilance is gone. We old folks have ignored this."

Lu TingChang said with some guilt.

"Brother Lu, don't you have to feel guilty. We have so many people, don't we all pay attention to it? At present, how to prepare for this drought and keep our harvest this year is the most important thing

Liu Qian's words won everyone's frequent nods.

"Yes, my nephew, please come here for this. Once this year's autumn harvest is reduced, this winter is bound to be difficult, and it is not known how long the drought will last. Therefore, my nephew thinks that we must take precautions before the drought comes

"Well, you are right." Lu Ting nodded, "to prevent drought, it is nothing more than digging rivers, digging wells and storing water. There is only one river, three streams and nine wells in Huangshui Township, two of which have been abandoned. Should we dig more wells? "

"Brother Lu is right. It should be," Qian TingChang agreed. "It's not difficult to dig a well. Now the drought has not yet come. It should be easy to dig water. Just relying on well water is certainly not enough. We have to find ways to increase the water volume of rivers and streams, and then build dams to store water. "

But Liu Qian put forward his opinion: "it is not difficult to build a dam to store water. With the manpower of our Township today, it is easy to build several small dams. It's just that after the dam was built, there was water in our village. Some townships in the lower reaches were afraid to come to us and settle accounts with us! "

When we heard this, we all fell into deep thought and could not understand it.

Liu he saw Qian Li sitting behind Qian TingChang and moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

"Brother Qian Li, if you have any ideas, you can tell them to everyone."

With Liu He's encouragement, Qian Li stood up and gave everyone a bow.

"In my opinion, the problems mentioned by uncle Liu really need to be cautious, but they are not insurmountable."

"Oh?" When they heard this, they all looked at Qian Li with expectant eyes, especially his father, Qian TingChang, who was expecting with some surprise. They probably also wanted to know what skills his son had grown after learning from Liu He, Zhang Yong and Zhang Yu over the years.

Qian Li stopped his voice: "Li had been wrongly loved by the villagers, and helped with farming in several villages around him, so he knew the situation of each village. On the East, South and north sides of the county seat, there are five townships bordering on the township. Although there is another township that is not contiguous, the nearest two townships are only five or six miles away. In addition, within the scope of seven townships, there are two big rivers, eleven small streams, one small lake, numerous small ditches, and 41 usable wells

After listening to Qian Li's detailed description of the water systems in the seven townships, we were all impressed with a new look, and Qian TingChang was extremely pleased.

"There are three things that need to be done to prevent this drought." Qian Li broke out his three fingers, and they all listened.

"First, dredge the water and lead it to the farmland. I found that in every township, there are some streams and ditches that have been blocked and abandoned due to various reasons. It is no harm at ordinary times. In times of crisis, all these ditches must be dredged to ensure the irrigation needs of the farmland. Only when the farmland has water can the crops grow well. "

After hearing the words, they all nodded and said that Qian Li was a child who grew up a lot.

"Second, the excavation of water wells, with Li as a unit, is in the charge of Li Zheng everywhere. There must be at least one well in each Li to ensure that the villagers need the most basic water for daily life."

"The third and most important thing is to select several places at the border of each township, excavate ponds, lead the surrounding rivers and streams into it, build simple dams and store water in the pool."

"Because most of the water systems in the seven townships I have chosen come from the Taihang Mountains, and after they have passed through these townships, they have come to an end. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the trouble caused by the people downstream. For a small number of rivers that still flow to other places, only one tributary will be dug to lead to the pond, and it is not necessary to intercept the whole river. "

Qian Li was right. Liu He took the lead in cheering. Others also stood up and clapped. This made Qian Ting proud and his son became a success. The happiest thing about him was that he was a father.

Having been praised by everyone, Qian Li was somewhat embarrassed.

At this time, Zhang Yu, who had been recuperating in her room, came out after hearing the sound. Liu he quickly went to support her.

"Yu'er, how did you come out?" Liu He has a caring face.

"Husband, I heard you talking about drought prevention, so come out and have a look."

Although Zhang Yu was a woman, she was highly respected because of her relationship with Liu He and her repeated attempts to defeat the enemy.

"My sister-in-law has always been resourceful and resourceful. I think she has a good plan."Guan Yu said that everyone was looking forward to her.

With the help of Liu He, Zhang Yu reluctantly sat down.

"I can't say that I have any good strategies, but I just got some inspiration from the words of Mr. Qian."

"Oh? In that case, the virtuous niece, come on Lu TingChang urged.

Zhang Yu bowed to show her acceptance of the order and said, "what Mr. Qian said is really necessary, but these are not enough. If there is a severe drought, the water resources will be reduced. Our first task is to find more water resources! "

Everyone nodded. Once the water supply was cut off, everything else would be empty talk. What's the use of all rivers and streams?

"Yu'er, you must have thought of some good method, haven't you?" Liu he rubbed Zhang Yu's palm and asked gently.

Zhang Yu smile: "ha ha, in the final analysis, it is not my wife's idea, but my husband's inspiration."

Liu he was puzzled: "what did I give you? I can't remember. "

"My husband, every day these days, I give me mountain spring water to relieve the summer heat. I think that there are many springs on Taihang Mountain, but we usually ignore them. After letting these springs flow out, they seep back to the ground in the mountains. If we can find more and connect them with bamboo tubes, or dig out water pits on the mountains to store water, or lead them to the canals at the foot of the mountain, although there is less water in each place, but there are more springs, it will certainly be an extremely optimistic water source. "

Liu he was excited to clap his thigh.

"Well, yu'er is really smart! Why didn't we think of the spring? "

"Hehe, the spring is small after all, so it's reasonable for us to ignore it." Zhang Yu comforted.

"Don't be too modest, madam! If we can succeed in resisting the drought, brother Qian and his wife will be the first meritorious officials of our seven townships! "

Everyone also gave thanks to them, which made them feel flattered.

Liu he turned around and said, "OK, tomorrow we will invite the other six townships to come to discuss the location of the reservoir. Once it is determined, all townships will work together to arrange the division of labor, such as opening canals, digging wells, building ponds, and diverting mountain springs. All of us will go their own way. The 2000 soldiers and soldiers of the Anmin army will suspend their drills, and the six of us will lead and support each other. "
