Chapter 168: Digging a Well
Laiying County is less affected by the drought, and with water sources set up by Zhou Yu in advance, the situation is better than that of some counties further south. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Xiaoyu, aren't there still some in your warehouse on that mountain?" Zhou Yi said.
Zhou Yu also told Zhou Yi about the grain in the big warehouse on the mountain before, so Zhou Yi knew.
"Well, leave that one alone. If the disaster is not resolved in time, many refugees will immediately pour to us. Keep the soup kitchen. ”
"The food we have left at home can still be used."
"Dad, it's best not to use the food at home." Zhou Yu felt that his father was so simple, "We don't know when the drought will be alleviated, so let's keep the food at home to eat." ”
Although the existing grain in the space is almost moved all at once, there will be new grain harvested soon, but no matter what, there must always be some food in hand to feel at ease.
"Okay." Of course, Zhou Yi didn't really know, but seeing Zhou Yu as a princess, he wanted to help her by doing these things so actively.
Your own children, no matter how good they are. Parents will want to help their children a little more.
The town of Autumn Wind produced almost a county's grain. However, Zhou Yu has produced a lot of food in the capital, so it is not surprising that Zhou Yu's mother's family has produced a lot more. Many people think that this is because Nangong Luo, as the highest official in this disaster relief, is here to help Nangong Luo.
Zhou Yu returned to Qiufeng Town in advance, and Nangong Luo dealt with the matter at hand in the capital, and then followed. He also has things to attend to in Leying County. When the two of them take care of things, they will go north together.
Speaking of which, Zhou Yu's heart is too soft. She saw that food could only be rescued for a while, and only by digging wells could the problem be fundamentally solved. Of course, drilling wells cannot immediately solve the problem of grain, so both should be carried out at the same time.
There are several places in the north where there is no food, and there have been several small-scale incidents of grabbing the granaries of the government. However, they have all been suppressed.
However, repression alone will not work.
The emperor has written all over the world, especially in the north. The grain will be delivered everywhere in no time. The personnel who drilled the well will also be in place as quickly as possible.
The days of hope and expectation will be better, so after the circular was issued, the whole country, especially the north, has obviously stabilized a lot.
In order to solve the problem fundamentally as soon as possible, Zhou Yu told Nangong Luo about his ability to survey and drill wells.
That's certainly a good thing.
However, Nangong Luo did not directly tell the emperor about this. It's not a good thing to be too capable. Therefore, Nangong Luo only said that Zhou Yu also has a little ability to investigate, and one more person has more strength, so when he sets off, he will take Zhou Yu with him.
The emperor didn't believe it, he thought that Nangong Luo was reluctant to let Zhou Yu be alone in the capital. However, Nangong Luo has always been very strict in handling things, so the emperor also sold his personal favor and agreed.
Nangong Luo went to Laiying County, dealt with things, and joined Zhou Yu.
"How much food did you keep?" Nangong Luo asked, he knew that Zhou Yu didn't take out all the food in the space, and kept a small part.
"There are so few people who donate food that they can't mix in so much. And a little half. We'll take it out again along the way, and then there won't be any problems with the quantity. Zhou Yu said.
"Well, that's for the best." Nangong Luo is actually not optimistic about increasing the number of people who donate grain, it was Zhou Yu who said this, and it was her food, so Nangong Luo agreed unprincipledly.
"Shall we start with Leying County?" Zhou Yu asked. The disaster began to occur in Laiying County, and it was not very serious to the south.
"Hmm. Further south, I sent someone to the disaster. And he sent men who drilled wells. When they take care of it, they will catch up with us. Nangong Luo paused for a moment and asked, "Xiaoyu, how good are you at surveying the well digging place?" ”
After Nangong Luo heard what Zhou Yu said, although he believed it, he didn't know what the extent was, so he asked.
"I'll call you in the county." Zhou Yu said confidently.
"It's fine."
The people who would survey the well digging place had dispersed north in batches. Nangong Luo, as the supreme commander, only needs to say it. Of course he's responsible, so he'll do it. Follow up every day.
According to the situation reported by local officials, Zhou Yu chose a place called Luofeng Town that had not been fetched water for a long time.
When the group arrived, they learned that they had hit five or six places, but none of them had hit any water, but the deepest depth had reached eight meters.
"Let's go see the places that are open but don't come out of the water." Zhou Yu said to Nangong Luo.
It was inconvenient for her to give orders in the team, so she could only let Nangong Luo say. This is an important matter, Nangong Luo gave an order, and the group came to a place where the deepest fight was made.
Zhou Yu stepped forward to take a look, carefully avoided the gaze of those people, and sprinkled some space water into it.
Then, he whispered to Nangong Luo: "Let them hit another half a meter, and they will be able to get out of the water." ”
There is real water underground, but it is deeper. Usually, the well can produce water from five or six meters, but now that the weather is dry, they have given up after two or three meters deep without any water.
"Someone." Nangong Luo spoke, "Hit half a meter to a meter lower in this place." ”
"Yes." The words of the Supreme Commander are like a holy decree. Soon someone called the team to dig the well. Get to work.
Zhou Yu and Nangong Luo did not stop, and continued to inspect the next well.
In the second place, after hitting seven and a half meters, Zhou Yu took a look and found that there was indeed no water underground, and no more water would come out. However, five meters away, there is an abundance of water underground.
"Here, if you hit six meters, you can get out of the water."
Zhou Yu called Nangong Luo over and whispered to him, of course, under his cover, he sprinkled space water there. The water in the space sank into the soil and disappeared without a trace, leaving no water marks on the surface.
"Someone. Hit here. Nangong Luo pointed.
Immediately another man came and began to dig a well.
At this time, someone rushed over and reported to Nangong Luo.
"Lord Qiqi, the water has come out of that place before." The people who came were happy, and this was something that their village could use.
"Okay, great." Everyone was happy.
Nangong Luo also truly understood Zhou Yu's ability, and he was also very happy in his heart.
The third, fourth, fifth.
In extraordinary times, of course, one well will not be drilled in one village, and it will be very good to be able to maintain one well in the middle of two or three villages.
So Luofeng Town quickly finished watching it. By the time they were about to leave, the first few had already been beaten out of water.
This is a recognition of ability, and Zhou Yu himself is happy.
However, the most important thing now is to go north, there are still many places where there is no water. Zhou Yu's ability is particularly important.
Nangong Luo didn't dare to delay, all the way north, as long as there was a place where there was no water, report it in advance, they would pass, and Zhou Yu could easily guide them to hit the water.
Slowly, the entourage is worth knowing, this is the credit of the princess. The princess has such a ability!
Originally, they had opinions in their hearts about what Zhou Yu followed. This is a major event to save the people, what do you say is the matter with your King Qi and his family? Isn't this out for a tour?
Now, they all have a 180-degree change in their attitude towards Zhou Yu.
