Transcendent Noble

More than a month ago, the artificial lake and the main canal were connected. After more than forty days of precipitation, the turbid lake water became much clearer, the lake surface was shimmering, green smoke filled, and it looked like a different scene.

Sylvia was so drunk, she couldn’t help but praised, "It’s so beautiful!"

Centaur Hills large and small There are more than a dozen natural lakes, the largest Lake Figor is located in the hills. The central part, covering an area of ​​more than 7,300 acres, the lakeside hills are undulating, the lake is full of reeds, the lake is rippling, fishes and kites fly, the scenery is picturesque, magnificent, and has its own scenery throughout the year. There is also a Sylvia on the island in the middle of the lake. Vacation villa.

Compared with the magnificence of Lake Figor, the artificial lake is like an unremarkable small pool. The shore of the lake is bare, without any vegetation, and the black soil is directly exposed to everyone's feet. The lake surface of more than 200 acres looks quite large, but the water surface is still two meters away from the shore.

The landscape of the artificial lake is more than two meters away from the natural beauty. Sylvia was the only one to fall for it.

At this moment, whether it is the lord, Knight, noble scholar, priest, or civilian craftsman, facing this project of changing nature, they are deeply shocked. The difference is that Baita scholar and Bishop Pierot are shocked. I also pondered the meaning of the artificial lake. The lords of the York family were more surprised and expectant, but the eyes of the civilian craftsmen were full of emotion and pride, including the resident priest Uri.

When Father Uli first came to Baron, he was incomprehensible and dissatisfied with the York family’s insistence on building an artificial lake first. After he gradually realized the value of the artificial lake, he acted more positively than anyone else. Roll up your sleeves and dig the dirt with the hired workers, enjoying the joy of sweating.

On the day when the canal was opened, the vast crowd was onlookers. When the torrential water poured into the lake bed continuously along the main canal, there was deafening cheers on the shore, and the mud-covered hired workers warmly embraced , Foreman and Father Uli were lifted high on their shoulders like heroes, and tens of thousands of people praised the Supreme Lord. While Uli was overjoyed, he also realized that the incomparable sense of accomplishment allowed these tens of thousands of migrant workers to take root in this territory. Their pioneering work will benefit future generations, and Uri himself will be recorded in the annals of the church.

Baita scholar does not have the personal experience of Father Uli, but this does not hinder their judgment.

A young scholar said excitedly: "This artificial lake does not hold a large amount of water, but it is connected to the Jinshui River. The lake will never dry up and can irrigate 60,000 acres of arable land."

"Albert, you did not consider the land on both sides of the diversion canal. It is said that the main canal is 6 kilometers long, and the land on both sides can be converted into fertile land. I think... At least 120,000 mu of arable land can be cultivated." Another scholar put forward his own views.

"This is impossible!" Albert scholar defended: "If the main canal releases water every day, the river will overflow the lake bank, flood the farmland, and form a swamp. Therefore, the water diversion time must be controlled, and the main canal storage The amount of water is limited. When the water is not released, it should be dry."

"It makes sense. However, some crops do not need to be watered too much... The side can open up 40,000 mu of rye fields."

"Well, I agree with you. This diversion project has created 100,000 mu of farmland..."

One hundred thousand mu? We went all the way to Centaur Hills, just for 100,000 mu of farmland? It should be 500 times, or even 1000 times!

Master Tacitus was not in a hurry to correct the students’ mistakes. He looked at his reserved old friend with a complicated expression, and said: "old friend, I would like to see the temperance of your design now. Gate."

"Of course I want to see it. The control gate is the most exciting place." Edwin said with a smile.

The control gate is undoubtedly the core technology of water conservancy projects, but the church’s priest has participated in the construction from beginning to end, and there is no secret to this technology. However, it is extremely difficult for other forces to copy water conservancy projects. As Victor said, it is not the technology that determines the water conservancy project, but the timing, geographical environment and political background. His original words are that the time, the right place, and the people are indispensable! Sylvia agreed.

Since you can't hide it, take it out generously! The resulting influence is also in the interest of Centaur Hills!

The main canal was built within the valley between the hills. On both sides of the canal, there are troop transportation lanes for carriage, but scholar and Bishop Pierot insist on walking. The distance of 6 kilometers is not long or short. The scholars walked all the way and watched all the way, and only two hours later they arrived at the outpost on the Jinshui River.

The middle-aged trainee Knight in charge of guards has been waiting for a long time with a team of savvy soldiers. They greeted them and saluted everyone, "Madam, adults, good day."

Sylvia jade hand lifted slightly and motioned to trainee Knight, who was half-kneeling on the ground, to stand up and reply, "Byron, show us the tempering gate."

"As you wish. Madam." Byron stood up. Said graciously: "Masters, please come with me."

Byron led the crowd on the wide river embankment. After walking about 600 meters, the embankments on both sides became higher and higher. It gradually becomes a limestone city wall 5 meters high from the ground. Inside the city wall is a 4-meter-wide blue brick water channel, and outside the wall is a muddy beach. Thousands of ugly murlocs ran wildly on the river beach. Some murlocs with short eyes approached the embankment. Patrol archers on the city wall would shoot them immediately.

Master Tacitus looked around and found that there were hundreds of murloc corpses under the city wall. He nodded and said: "The murloc is nature, a chaotic intelligent creature, and its memory is very poor. , But still afraid of death, shoot the murlocs outside the cordon, and the rest of the murlocs will have fear of the city wall. This fear will be passed on to the next generation of murlocs... Avoid this City Wall section and become this fish The instinct of the Human Race group."

"This is the Borui Kingdom's tactics to defend against the murlocs... I am curious, how much energy did you spend cleaning up the river beach murlocs?"

Master Edwin twirling his beard, proudly said with a smile: "as easy as blowing off dust."

Master Tacitus was stunned. If Sylvia were not by the side, he would almost go up with Edwin Tearing a bit, as a response to his big talk.

The murlocs are not a strong race, they are short in stature, and their strength and wisdom are not as good as humans. However, murlocs are extremely capable of reproduction, unite and help each other. There is no obvious boundary between ethnic groups and ethnic groups. The river beach is their territory for survival and reproduction. Any creatures that invade the river beach will be attacked by murlocs. Moreover, the river beach is muddy and difficult to move, human soldiers have difficulty moving, but the murlocs can run fast on the river beach. The Borui had fought against the Murlocs for 80 years and paid a heavy price to successfully establish the country. Until now, the war has not ended and will never end. How could Tacitus believe that the York family occupied the river beach without a single soldier?

Bishop Pierot lightly said: "An army of ants!"

Master Tacitus suddenly realized, and his jaw said: "Yes, only a colony of ants can destroy the river beach murlocs." shook the head, he sighed again: "No wonder you don't repair the city wall, but also the artificial lake first... This is really an extremely rare opportunity!"

A student of Tacitus respectfully said: "Master Edwin, I have a question I want to ask."

"Albert, you can ask." Edwin said with a laugh.

"Master, the murlocs are reproducing very fast. Within three years, the number of murlocs on this beach will be able to break through 4000. The embankment under our feet limits their range of running, and there will always be particularly stupid Murlocs continue to attack the river embankment. Due to the soft soil on the river beach, it is impossible to build a higher city wall. At that time, the defensive pressure on the city wall will be particularly heavy..."

Edwin waved his hand and said:" Do you want to ask, is it worth launching a Murloc War for one hundred thousand acres of farmland?"

"Yes." Albert Jaws said: "A Baron can support up to more than two hundred people. Elite soldiers. But I found that the city wall on the river beach is 1.6 kilometers long, and hundreds of soldiers must be stationed on both sides to prevent the murlocs from boarding the city wall. When the number of murlocs increased to 4000, the number of murlocs was fierce. It will increase accordingly. Not only do you need more city defense soldiers, but you also need to arrange more trainee Knights to be stationed. In addition to the manpower to change defense... I think that in three years, your family will have 10 trainee Knights and 1200 permanent stations. Soldiers take turns for defense, and countless arrows are provided!"

The standing army of a count leader is almost 1,200 soldiers, but any count leader can hardly bear that his army maintains a state of war all year round. The York family paid such a large price for 100,000 acres of arable land, which is obviously not worth it.

Bishop Pierot pricked up his ears, which was also the place where he was puzzled. Tacitus and Edwin looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Albert, don't rush to the conclusion. Keep reading and you will know whether it's worth it."

The flow under the control gate is endless. Jinshuihe. A closer look at the turbulent long river can more deeply appreciate its majestic and remoteness. The river surface is turbulent over ten kilometers wide. Pierot can't see the scenery on the other side with exhaustive eyesight. Facing the natural power of this world, anyone can't help but give birth to it. How small I am.

Sylvia stood by the wind. I don't know when, she has solved the development of a bun, and let her golden hair blow in the wind. Knight of the York family clustered her and Victor in the middle. They pointed fingers towards the other side, talking and laughing, and they had lofty sentiments and high aspirations that pointed the country.

Bishop Pierot suddenly discovered that irrigating the cultivated land by the Jinshui River was a feat that has never been seen in the glorious history. With this, Sylvia can become the object of epic singing, and the York family will also be recorded in the annals of history. .

Perhaps, it's worth it!
