The unrelenting praise of the people around him made Zhang Yang feel a little embarrassed, but He Xiaoman beside him was very proud, and she must be happy when her man was praised.

Especially those young tourists, it was no longer a compliment, and it felt like a rainbow fart was sprayed directly at Zhang Yang, almost making him flutter.

"Haha, thank you for your compliments, where am I a hero, it's just that I happened to meet, as a young person, we are more of a public figure, we have to help if we need to help, everyone don't praise me anymore, I'm embarrassed, haha!"

After being polite to these tourists, Zhang Yang quickly got rid of these people, he couldn't stand the praise anymore, and if he continued to make him seem to be such a great person, and there were more and more curious people around, and he didn't want to affect the work of the museum, and the staff had already noticed that it was coming here.

It's just that when he continued to walk inside, some people in the crowd of onlookers just now followed after getting his consent, some of these tourists had just come, but some of them had already turned around and were about to go back, but after listening to his explanation just now, they became interested again and decided to wander around again.

Other places in the museum, such as the signs that serve as explanations, and some exhibition sites that introduce local culture and history, Zhang Yang did not pass, but walked directly in the direction of the north, that is, the innermost position of the karez dragon entrance.

However, he stopped as he passed the excavation site to be restored.

In front of them was a dark and damp passage, with a trickle of water fluctuating below, and the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a muddy figure with a small black hat on his head and a tool in his hand.

Under the light, everyone noticed that it was a statue, but if you didn't look closely, you would feel that it had become one with the surrounding cave walls.

Kneeling on the muddy ground, his hands holding up his digging tools, his thin body seemed to carry the expectations of thousands of people suffering from drought on the ground.

In the eyes of everyone, the statue, which had been in a static state, seemed to be waving the tools in its hands, struggling to dig forward with the anticipation of the drought-stricken people on the ground.

"Actually, you should have heard a lot of different names about qanats, as if some things built in modern times are named after people, rather than these ordinary people who work hard underground.

Especially in the Qing Dynasty, when water conservancy projects were built here, it is estimated that only Lin Zexu and Zuo Zongtang were recorded, but the front-line workers who struggled underground were not recorded. ”

As soon as the topic of Zhang Yang came out, and everyone looked at the thin and weak back in the dark and damp passage, but it seemed that he was still wielding tools, some people really felt that it was very unfair.

"Yes, why is it that the people who are in charge of the project are often remembered, but the people who are struggling on the front line are selectively forgotten?"

"But I don't think it's fair or unfair, let's just say that in the Qing Dynasty, if Lin Zexu and Zuo Zongtang didn't vigorously promote this matter, these people wouldn't be able to get support even if they wanted to dig it!"

"There is nothing absolutely fair in this world, at least for now, the karez has appeared, and it has also benefited the people, that is enough!"

"I think it's very unfair, why is it that only the leader is remembered, but the person who does the work gets nothing!"

"No, the people who did the work also got it, let's just say that these people who dug the wells back then, don't their children and grandchildren also enjoy the benefits of having water?"

The tourists who followed Zhang Yang all the way were also talking about it, everyone didn't have to fight for something, you were wrong and I was right, but following Zhang Yang to visit would give people a completely different sense of attraction, there are stories, historical records, and various points of view thrown out, and everyone is just emotional.

As everyone came to the front of the exhibition hall for the restoration of the tools used in this water conservancy project, looking at the simple pots and pots and tools, Zhang Yang began to tell the story routinely.

He is going to use this story to tell next, so that everyone can judge for themselves who is right and who is wrong?

"In the sixties and seventies of the 20th century, there was a man named Nur Maimat, who was the village director of Subexi Village, Tuyugou Township, Shanshan County.

In the village, there is a qanats called Maiying Askal, which were dug around 1900, so the qanats in Subesi village are generally not too long, within 2,000 meters.

As for the reason for the lack of growth, the main reason is that the water output is relatively large, which can supply 20 acres of water per day, so people don't want to dig too long.

However, Nur Mamat is a capable man, and he is also an idle person, he can't be idle himself, and he doesn't want the villagers to be idle and have nothing to do.

So he organized the villagers to extend the karez well in Maiying Askal, which was extended to more than 20 kilometers, and the water output increased to 25 acres of land per day, and the vertical shaft was also deeper than ordinary wells, reaching an average of 98 meters.

Through the previous introduction, you should also know that the distance between the shafts is generally the more upstream, the greater the distance, so the deepest part of the shaft of this shaft is at least 130 meters.

In order to remember the merits of Nur Maimat, the villagers renamed the qanats in Maiying Askar as the karez of Nur Maimat, the chief of Nur Maimat, in this way to praise him.

Someone has calculated that if there is a shaft in 15 meters on average, there will be 1,380 shafts in this well, so think about what a big project this is, so this karez is also the largest well in the entire Turpan karez.

There are also Lin Zexu and Zuo Zongtang, someone in our live broadcast room just now said that if it weren't for the progress of this project implemented by these two people after they came here, then it would be impossible to have so many karez now.

The people who did the work were hard, but the people who actually took the helm and decided to do it were more worthy of being remembered, and the names of these people were passed down in the years to come, and were remembered by the locals. ”

The 10-kilometre-long qanats in the museum are named after Eskar Aji, who developed the 10-kilometre well.

Walking past the statue, passing by the nullah, and entering the dark culvert, everyone came to the dragon mouth of this qanaq, that is, the junction of the nullah, the culvert and the shaft mouth, and it is also the first outlet of the Tianshan snow water through the stratum infiltration and flowing to the nullah through the culvert.

There are also some large trees growing next to the culvert, which extend all the way to the ground and thrive.

Zhang Yang and everyone walked slowly, walking all the way, looking all the way, thinking all the way, and feeling all the way.

"The qanats are not wells, she is a book, a thick historical document, she records the history of water conservancy development in the Turpan Basin, and praises the wisdom and courage of ancient craftsmen. ”

There seems to be an inexplicable emotion, and as the words of Zhang Yang, who was standing in front of the dragon's mouth, gently floated out of his body, as if it had merged into the emotions of many people who had excavated here underground.

This is actually like a mother's milk, giving the child life, unforgettable in this life.

The clear spring of the qanats watered and moistened this yellow earth, moistened the hearts of the people here, and washed the hearts of tourists who came here.
