Chapter XXXVIII. The Idea of the Qanats

PS: I'm very sorry I forgot to upload it. Wushan paused.

Hasqiqige's physical strength is good, compared to Wushan, it is much worse.

The two of them lingered to the death, again and again, and at the end of the day, she fell asleep in the crook of the arm of a man a few years younger than herself.

He looked at the time, I went, this toss, unconsciously passed four or five hours.

It's twelve o'clock, I don't know if Gao Hongquan has slept.

"Old Gao, go to sleep." The phone was connected, and Wu Shan was apologetic.

When I returned to Oulothai, I never contacted him. At the time of the mining disaster, the front finger was still here, and there was no need for the military division to dispatch.

"Nope." Gao Hongquan's voice over there sounded very irritable: "There are a lot of local things, it's too troublesome." No, is it Army Day soon, I still have to see the rehearsals. If you don't act well, how embarrassing it will be in front of other Standing Committee members. ”

"Me too, beard and eyebrows." Wu Shan smiled bitterly: "You are in the army, and you are not involved in personnel aspects. The vacant positions are staring at them one by one. I have just taken office, and my roots are not deep, although I am not afraid of offending people, I can make friends as much as possible. ”

"By the way, did you use it last time?" Gao Hongquan's voice was very low, for fear that others would hear it.

"Eighty percent yes, other weapons, how can there be such a big mushroom cloud?" Wu Shan smiled: "This is not your style, what's wrong?" Afraid that others will hear it? Or is there a woman in the family? ”

"Yes, your sister-in-law is here." Gao Hongquan sneered: "I don't think the child is annoying, so I didn't let her bring it over, and I've been fighting with me for the past two days." ”

"What?" Wu Shan almost shouted: "You wood, when did you get married?" And even have a child? ”

Hasquizig was still in the crook of his arm, but he rolled over, and there was a slight snoring sound.

"What's so strange about that?" Gao Hongquan disagreed: "I am a man, she is a woman." We were both of marriage age, so we tied the knot just before we went to the army. ”

"Then you really have to take the child." Wu Shan thought of the children whose parents were not around, and many of them lacked character: "No matter who it is handed over, it is very detrimental to the child's future growth." ”

"Just talk about me, what about your own son Wu Congxuan?" Gao Hongquan was not happy over there.

"Ah, you know, my daughter-in-law is a foreigner, and their education methods are different from ours." Wushan slapped Ha Lu and said: "Lao Gao, I'm curious. What does my sister-in-law do, where is it? ”

"She is a great nurse, a Jingshi person. But now I'm out of citizenship. Gao Hongquan is talking now, much more active than before.

In the past, he didn't bother to explain it to you. There is a trick to go. Didn't die.

"On Army Day, I have to say sorry to you. Didn't have time to come. "Wushan really felt embarrassed. It was his first Army Day in office, and he didn't even go to the scene.

"It's okay, just take care of your own affairs, I'll keep an eye on it for you here." Wood can also say words with a human touch: "How is Li Kaijun now?" ”

"It's very good," Wu Shan usually doesn't care much about him: "I gave him a platform to deal with it himself." Unless there are special circumstances. I'm going to make a move. Usually free-range, free play. ”

Not to mention at the local level, that is, in the army, after being delegated to the grassroots level. It can only depend on his own ability.

Tonight's phone call is mainly about contacting feelings. No matter how good the relationship between two people is, if they don't contact each other at any time, especially if they have already arrived in the place, it is inevitable that there will be entanglements of interests.

Gao Hongquan is not a local, he is also the political commissar of the Ministry of Armed Forces and the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Military Division.

In any case, prevention is better than prevention. Happily, the comradeship between the two has not faded with the passage of time, and it seems that the relationship between the two is one step closer than the previous relationship in the army.

When he got up early in the morning, Hasqiqige had not woken up yet, and he punched again in the yard.

After coming back and washing, before she woke up, Wushan left a note on the table and went downstairs.

The people who followed Wushan today included Qin Peizhong, director of the Agricultural Bureau, and Zhang Anhua, director of the Water Conservancy Bureau. said that he was leading the team, just three cars, and each of them brought a technician to go with him.

After thinking about it, Wushan still asked Ge Songrui to stay and answer the phone at home or something.

The destination of this trip is the main production area of cantaloupe.

In this part of Victoria, the traffic is very troublesome, there is no direct road to Turpan, and you have to take a detour from Wushi.

Since he arrived in Wushi, it is unreasonable for Gu Qianli not to visit.

Hearing that Wushan was coming, the head of the organization department of the provincial party committee was very happy and called several good people in the province over.

Qin Peizhong and Zhang Anhua, two turtles, when have they seen so many provincial-level cadres accompanying each other? They were all very drunk.

The people in the province have long been curious about this first deputy commissioner of Ouluotai and the secretary of the Hefeng County Party Committee, who was parachuted directly from the Beijing Division. Even if you don't know the relationship behind him, you definitely understand that it's not simple.

Seeing this young man dancing with long sleeves, as soon as a few special cigarettes were taken out, his expression changed.

Gu Qianli also understood that Wushan was a mess, and knew his suffering, so he kept it a little, and saw that Wushan was resolute, so he said goodbye to the group of adults at the door of the hotel.

Karez, which means "well", has been recorded as early as in the "Historical Records", when it was called "well canal", and the Uyghur language called it "Kanez".

Qanats are a special irrigation system in desert areas, which is common in the Tulupan area of Victoria Province, China. Karez, together with the Great Wall and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, are known as the three major projects in ancient China. There are more than 1,100 qanats in Turpan, with a total length of about 5,000 kilometers.

The qanats are a special irrigation system with an ingenious structure, which consists of four parts: a shaft, a culvert, an open channel and a dam.

Generally speaking, the construction principle of the qanats is: in the undercurrent of the high mountain snow water, find its water source, and drill a shaft of different depths at certain intervals.

Then according to the terrain, the culvert is built at the bottom of the well, the well is communicated, and the water is diverted. The outlets of the underground channels are connected to the surface channels to divert groundwater to the surface for irrigation of mulberry fields.

A shaft is a passage for transporting underground sediment or silt during excavation or cleaning of a qanac culvert, and is also a ventilation vent.

The depth of the well varies depending on the topography and the level of the groundwater, generally the closer to the source the shaft is, the deeper it is, and the deepest shaft can reach more than 90 meters.

The distance between the shafts varies with the length of the qanats, and there are generally shafts every 20-70 meters. A qanat. There are as few as 10 shafts as few as 10 and as many as hundreds.

The wellhead is generally rectangular or circular, 1 meter long and 0.7 meters wide.

When driving close to Turpan, on the Gobi Desert on the periphery of the lush oasis, you can see piles of round earth bags down the high slope, shaped like small volcanic cones, located in an orderly manner stretching out to the oasis, these are the shaft mouths of the qanats.

Underdrain. Also known as underground channels, it is the main body of the qanats.

The function of the culvert is to collect water from the underground aquifer on its body, usually by digging it from low to high according to a certain slope, so that the water can automatically flow out of the surface.

Culverts are generally 1.7 meters high. The width is 1.2 meters, and the short one is 100-200 meters. The longest is up to 25 km. The culverts were all excavated underground, so the salvage work was very arduous.

Longkou is the junction of the karez nullah, the culvert and the shaft mouth, and it is also the first outlet for snow water to flow to the nullah through the culvert through the stratum infiltration.

When the culvert flows out of the ground, it becomes an open channel.

As the name suggests, an open channel is a ditch that flows above the surface.

Reservoirs were built at certain locations to store and regulate water. This kind of reservoir, large and small, is called a waterlogging dam. Water is stored in the dams and is delivered where it is needed.

Wushan Zhilu Road. In later generations, these became tourist attractions.

It is said that the local leaders of a Hefeng county party secretary do not care. This is the affluent place of Victoria, and I feel superior to my peers.

But in addition to the secretary of the county party committee, this young man is also the first deputy commissioner of the regional administrative office.

The mountains don't turn around, everyone is in the Victorian officialdom, and God knows which day they will become their top bosses.

Therefore, they all accompany each other wholeheartedly.

After the last disaster, Wushan left the local cadres related to agriculture and water conservancy, and persuaded all the rest to go back.

These officials usually sit in the office, and they don't come down much one by one.

Don't say that in this era, even in a few years, the relationship between cadres and the masses will be a big problem.

The middle-aged man who led the commentary, his name is Su Pi, he is very eloquent, and he also has a lot of practical experience.

Wu Shan gestured with his eyes, and the director of the Hefeng Agriculture Bureau and the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau deliberately separated the local officials.

"Lao Su, I don't know if you're interested in serving in Zephyr." Wushan's voice was not high, just two people could hear it.

"Appointment? Secretary Wu, you are laughing, I am a peasant," Su Pi smiled bitterly: "I don't know anything, and I don't have much education, how can I be an official?" ”

"No, you can, you can." Wu Shan's eyes stared at him for a moment: "If you want, your whole family can become a town population, and yourself, I plan to make you the deputy director." Agriculture Bureau and Water Conservancy Bureau, take your pick. ”

"Deputy Director?!" Su Pi's eyes widened, and he almost shouted out his words, attracting the attention of the people next to him.

He scratched his scalp and said embarrassedly: "Secretary Wu, I'm sorry, I'm excited for a while. I never thought that one day, I would be able to become an official. Are you telling the truth? ”

"It's true, Old Sue. I vouch in the name of the Secretary of the Hefeng County Party Committee and the First Deputy Commissioner of the Oulothai Region. Wu Shan's tone was sincere: "Hefeng is much poorer than here, so I don't know if you are willing to leave your hometown and follow us." ”

"It's not far, Secretary Wu." Now he is enthusiastic: "From here, it will take less than a day to arrive." I've never traveled this far. ”

Secretary Wu was overjoyed: "Yes, besides, when the time comes, if you want to go back to your hometown, you can still drive back by car, do you think you are still squeezing trains and cars like now?" ”

No matter who you are, you can't be calm in the face of interests.

"Think about it, if you think about it, you can follow us tomorrow." The secretary of the county party committee looked at him with a glittering gaze: "Your family, you can ask the government to send a car together." ”

"Secretary Wu, don't think about it, I'll go with you." He suddenly became embarrassed: "Can you call a few people who usually want to be good to go over together?" And my master Aini, although he is older, has much more experience than me. ”

Wushan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and originally wanted to attract someone from here.

Unexpectedly, it was really a hoe that went down to dig a golden doll.

Actually, he wasn't very sure in his heart if he could fix the karez on the side of the wind.

But in any case, these people are people who have made outstanding achievements in water conservancy and canals.

As long as they are sure that they can dig qanats in Hefeng, then Wushan will give an order, no matter how difficult the conditions, they must get this project out.

For ordinary farmers, the local leaders did not care much.

Even if they have skills in their bodies, there are many people here in Tulupan who know how to do it, and they don't care about one or two.

Not only that, these officials are secretly happy in their hearts, we are an ordinary peasant here, and the wind is a treasure, and it seems that our Turpan is a well-deserved leading county in Victoria Province.

Zephyr, and even the entire Ouluotai region, the groundwater resources are definitely not as good as here in Turpan.

Tulupan, backed by the roof of the world, the amount of snow water can be ranked in the world.

Over there, there are only the Tien Shan Mountains and the Altun Mountains.

In any case, it is necessary to find a way to provide water for Zephyr and the industry and agriculture in the Oulothai region.

That night, the people of Zephyr stayed here.

Early the next morning, the sun had not yet risen.

When I came, there were three cars, and when I went back, there were more than 10 small cars and trucks sent off by Turpan.

The convoy was mighty and headed towards the wind. (To be continued......)
