Luyi Farming Chronicles (Part 3)
Chapter 49:Luyi Farming Chronicles (Part 3)
The vortex is a tributary of the middle of the Huai River on the left bank and the second largest tributary of the Huai River.
It originated in Kaifeng County, Henan Province, and flows southeast through Taikang, Luyi and Bozhou, Luyang and Mengcheng in Anhui Province, and infused into Huaihe near the southern straight Huaiyuan county.
The second brother is going to barrage the dam in Luyi, the downstream of Bozhou, Vortex Yang and Mengcheng will certainly be affected, where the villagers will surely hate him, but even so, the dam must be repaired.
Because he can improve the use of water sources, can adjust the water level of the vortex water, and when the water is full, it will even have a regulatory effect on the downstream.
For example, when winter is not very irrigated, he can play a role in water storage, so as not to flow water into the Huaihe into the sea, waste, and when the spring needs irrigation, you can have enough water.
At the same time, in the drought, he can release water to alleviate the disaster, and when he is in the water, he can also play a role in flood storage, reduce the pressure of the levee, and prevent the levee from breaking.
Of course, at that time, the second brother can also use the adjustment of the dam to control the downstream.If the downstream makes the second brother unhappy, then he can come anyway, stop the water when the drought is dry, and open the gate when the floodgates are washed down.
It is just that if you do, then I don't know how many people will greet his ancestors, but it is generally a good thing to rule out this kind of unhappiness and building water conservancy projects.
Although in the short term, water storage will affect downstream irrigation, but in the long run, it is a good thing for the upstream and downstream.
Sun Yucheng and Yu Yinglong listened, did not object, but considered the problem of building a dam.
At this time, Yu Yinglong said: "The north of the deer is low, but the terrain is relatively flat, even if the dam is built, it is difficult to store water."
This is indeed a problem, the river on both sides is not a high mountain, canyon, but flat land, the water level can not lift too high, the water storage capacity will be limited.
The second brother thought and smiled: "You can build multiple dams, form multiple locks, from north to south, water storage at the first level, should be able to solve the problem."In addition, more ditches and ponds should be dug to play a role in water storage and drought resistance.”
Yu Yinglong and Sun Yucheng looked at each other, and their hearts could not help but be surprised, this high lieutenant was not even a living member, how could it seem that he knew something?
"That subordinate is organizing people's hands, ready to do it."Yu Yinglong said, "But the money and food needed, please raise the captain as soon as possible."
Repairing water conservancy, it is cost money, but the money and food is a headache for the second brother, he can not help but say: "Now the river bed is exhausted, when the repair, first to repair both sides, and finally close, and install the gate, the amount of work should be small."
Now it is the dry water period, do not need to fill the water embankment first, you can directly go to the river bed to start, the cost should be reduced a lot.
The second brother said after a while, "This matter is beneficial to the people of Deeryi, you go to the villages, discuss with the old squire, mobilize the villagers, and build together."I can give them a proper exemption for work, and as for the remaining gaps, I will raise them as soon as possible."
Zhao Daxian brought back a thousand silver, the second brother in advance to the officers and soldiers, has used five hundred two, the remaining five hundred two can only last a month, but the tax is confiscated up, he now has any money and food, can only try to mobilize the masses, really not, can only find a local thief or a tycoon to fight a dozen, to solve the urgent need.
At present, the second brother and the two people patrolled along the vortex water for a while, and found that if the water source is sufficient, the land along the vortex water is not all used, so that the second brother of these hundreds of people are self-sufficient, but there is no problem at all.
At this time, it was July, and after watching it for a while, the sophomore said to the two people: "If we speed up, we may be able to catch up with the winter wheat."Visit the villages as soon as possible, and say that after the dam is repaired, the land along the coast can be leased to them for cultivation, and the villagers should be mobilized as soon as possible.”
There are few people in the second brother, can not digest so much land, it is better to give low rent to the villagers of the deer, so it is better than to put waste.
Yu Yinglong and Sun Yucheng nodded, after a discussion, the two decided to go to the villages and villages, persuaded the squire to organize the villagers to participate in the construction of water conservancy, and Sun Yucheng led some people, continue to measure the land, and plan the construction of the locks at all levels.
In fact, the villagers of Luyi County also want to repair water conservancy, but there is no official government organization, and the ideas of each village cannot be unified, so it has not been possible to achieve.
If the dam is built upstream, the village below can not enjoy, to open your dam, people built on the lower reaches can not enjoy, do not want to help, and the most important thing is that even if it is built, the big head of the benefit is also a bunny field, the king of the king is not able to force, the villagers naturally can not do it.
Now according to the proposal of the second brother, the hierarchical gate, the water source level to the first level of the delegation, you can solve a lot of contradictions.The land of the king, naturally, is good, and after the second brother promised to build a lock, he could give them low rent to cultivate, and the villages were moved when they were standing.
In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the villagers, the second brother promised that after the locks were built, they would help them build canals, so that their fields and water sources would be irrigated.
To this end, the second brother hopes that they can provide some food to the villagers involved in the dam construction, while the second brother depends on the amount of food they provide and the amount of work completed, and they will reduce their taxes in the coming year to a certain extent.
This is equivalent to the tax payment for the coming year, as a new water repair project.
Of course, the second brother is a good advice, if there is no understanding, do not want to cooperate, then he also made Zhao Daxian to prepare, the uncoalted cottage down, to kill a hundred, by the way, a local tycoon to add money and food.
Only Yu Yinglong this sour show talent, there are indeed some ability, the second brother did not expect after his persuasion, the village actually agreed to the second brother's plan.
These villagers, now there is nothing to do, look at the next year is afraid of the same year, can build lock irrigation, they naturally willing, not to mention now can manage the meal.
As for the squires, mainly because the army ransacked Luyi County Yu Wei is still there, just like Gaojiazhuang in the face of Liu Hezi, willing to spend some food to buy a peace, as long as the county's runners do not hit the door, it is okay to give you some food, not to mention repair water conservancy, this is also beneficial to them.
If this lock is built, it will benefit first of all from the fields, and secondly, the squire's Tiando, who naturally wishes.
For a time, Luyi County seemed to have entered the era of red flags and singing songs for large-scale construction.The villagers in various villages, picking up the basket, came out, and all the men, men, women, old and young, gathered to the Vortex River as they were gathered.
Sun Yucheng planned six sluices on the vortex river, bringing the villagers together and building them from the upstream.
Dozens of barefoot children, the most active, running in front of the team, villagers from all over the place to eat in order to eat, early in the morning, one faster than one, want to mix up the work point, and then the dam to see good, can get a few acres of good land.
In order to improve the enthusiasm of the villagers and prevent people from touching fish in the water, the second brother of high school put forward the system of work points for each village, and after the dam is built, which village has more work, can rent more land, and give priority to water, and the results lead to the village pouring out of the nest.
Gao Yihuan stood aside and saw the villagers busy piling on the river bed, shoulder-picking and pushing the soil and stones into the wooden pile, and the dam had already had a prototype in a few days, and the heart could not help but sigh the power of the people, and at the same time thought, "Can you do this with burning bricks?"
(Thanks to the no-gdrums, the fish has been 588 reward, please recommend, collect, promote.))
