I heard that in this era, there is a saying that enclosure is a prison. When you go into the mountains and encounter cow dung, draw a circle with your hands. If the Lord has been revealed, others will automatically go around and will not pick it up.

Therefore, early in the morning, Liu Bei found the patriarch and said that he wanted to open up this wasteland.

The old patriarch looked left and right, it was okay to open up the wasteland, but the question was the land? This huge piece of white water, is the unicorn blind?

No way.

If the unicorn is blind, isn't the whole clan collectively blind!

Even if you are old and dizzy, if you ruin the major event of the restoration of this branch, it will be difficult to redeem even if you die!

"Yes." After a moment of contemplation, the old patriarch paused solemnly.

The patriarch is also called the patriarch.

In the Han Dynasty, the county and the country were parallel.

Implement the township system: five families are in the army, ten families are in the army, and the chief of the army and the chief of the army are assigned to perform their duties. Hundreds of families for a mile, set up Likui (Lizheng, Lichang), the main officials are the father, the chief, Du Zai, the prison door and so on. Ten miles is a pavilion, set up pavilion chief, pavilion marquis, pavilion Zuo, pavilion father, ask for thieves and so on. Ten pavilions for a township, the township is placed in the three elders, there are ranks, sifu, wandering, and another township is set up to assist in tax collection.

There are less than 100 households in Lousang Village, and it is difficult to make a mile. The old patriarch can't be the chief.

It's the fathers.

The meaning of 'father' at this time is: a famous old man who participates in the management of the affairs of the township. Therefore, the 'fathers and villagers' of this era are very different from later generations.

It's not clear if there is a fortune or not.

Although the official is not big, he has a lot of things to do. For example, this time Liu Bei wants to open up wasteland and reclaim fields, and he must report to the township through him. Then it was reported to the county and recorded.

During this period, the functions of the township were very perfect. He was responsible for the taxes, conscription, military service, local education, prison lawsuits, public security, and recommendation of the imperial court.

With the approval of the old patriarch, Liu Bei's next action can be regarded as a law to follow.

The people are still busy harvesting.

The matter of Liu Xiaopang's enclosure has not yet spread.

thought he was the only idler, but the craftsmen who repaired his ancestral house last year were also very idle.

After asking Fang Zhi, they have no land and no land.

It turns out that the businessmen who advocate are all classified as untouchables. Merchants and workers are collectively called untouchables. Not even wearing official uniforms to these untouchable gathering places. The crime said: disrespectful.

Liu Xiaopang is also a commoner, so it doesn't matter.

After reading Liu Bei's sketch of the wooden board and listening to his narration, the old man among the craftsmen looked embarrassed: "Young owner, do you want to dig a tunnel?" Supported by wooden beams, every other zhang, dig a deep well? The tunnel has to run through the stream, and no water can be poured in? ”

"All right." Liu Bei smiled and nodded. Seeing that the old craftsman's face was embarrassed, he smiled again: "Haven't you all repaired the tomb?" It's a lot easier than digging a big tomb......"

"Dare to ask the young owner, do you want to ...... Grave? "Well, that's what the old craftsman was worried about.

Tomb robbing is a felony!

Liu Bei was laughed at angrily: "Take a good look, who will build the tomb in the river?" ”

"Oh...... "Think about it, too." The craftsmen were immediately relieved. After discussion, the old craftsman said: "Young owner, it is better to replace the wooden beams with bricks." ”

According to the old craftsman's painting, this is clearly a culvert tunnel made of erected Han bricks!

"Is it possible?"

"It works. It is also more reliable than wooden beams. The old craftsman replied patting his chest.

"Then do it!"

Previously, he bred Gongsun Zhan's horse and earned ten gold. A few days ago, Zhang Xiaopang's father sent another ten gold. In addition to daily expenses, Liu Bei's family also has 20 gold. Not to mention digging a tunnel through the stream, it is enough to dig a large tomb for yourself, buy all kinds of funerary goods, and erect a large stone monument.

The tunnel is located downstream of the stream, not far from the cofferdam.

The downstream water is fine and shallow. The river on both sides is more exposed, which is convenient for construction. It's just a matter of calculating how much you need to dig down to avoid streams and gravel. There is no need for Liu Bei to worry. The craftsmen who are classified as untouchables are very experienced.

Well paid and well staffed.

The progress was much faster than Liu Bei expected.

Besides, it was the busy time for farming, and the landlord Hao Qiang could not care about building a house and repairing a tomb. Craftsmen are idle.

It's just that many people are busy and confused. Why do you use the young owner to build a tunnel through the stream? If it's just for crossing the water, why not build a bridge for convenience?

Grave?

Foolish, which unworthy descendant will build his own tomb under the river?

Studied but cannot comprehend.

The point is that there is no mystery in the tunnel.

Every other zhang, you have to go straight down and dig another deep pit!

Anyway, it's incomprehensible.

In the whole plan, Liu Bei's biggest concern was actually the personal safety of the craftsmen. He had no experience in construction and wondered if the use of wooden beams alone would be sufficient to bear the load. It was changed into Han bricks by craftsmen and built into culverts. Liu Bei has seen that there are three layers of Han bricks.

The support is definitely enough.

The reason for the Qingxi dam that did not collapse for a long time was also found by several craftsmen with good water properties.

Boulder barrage.

A boulder under the water is stuck in the throat of the river bay stream, and there is no possibility of collapse.

I see.

As the work continued, another piece of good news soon came. The soil dug out from under the riverbed was indeed dry.

Since it is called Qingxi, it is impossible to say 'wide'. Otherwise, why not call it Qinghe?

The project is actually not huge. All Liu Bei wanted was a valley in the upper river bay. When the water recedes, it will be good land.

When the wheat grains are returned to the warehouse, the tunnel has been built. Liu Bei personally went down to the tunnel to check. Sure enough, every other day, another deep pit was dug. The deep pit is the thickness of one person, and the depth is several zhang. But why is there not much excavation? The craftsman jokes that the soil is soft and easy to excavate.

Liu Bei suddenly understood. Is this the same as digging a thief hole? Digging too much earth out of the mound will lead to suspicion?

At this time, the crops are ripe once a year.

The farming time has passed, and the clansmen and villagers have rushed to join in the fun.

"Irrigation?" As soon as Liu Bei spoke, the craftsmen were all blinded. Young Owner...... Why dig a dry tunnel through the riverbed when you want to irrigate water?

"Listen to me, yes." Liu Bei was not as confident as he was on his face.

"Yes." The craftsmen could only do what they were told. Anyway, if you don't have a club, it's good if you're happy.

On the day of irrigation, the old patriarch also came.

For Lousang Village, he is more familiar than anyone else. Since his people settled here, he knows about this clear stream. There are years when the water is shallow, exposing boulders. The governor is not allowed to do anything. On that day, Liu Bei circled his fingers, and the old patriarch thought about it later, and knew that he had fallen in love with Hewan Shuize.

Helplessly, the water is deep and there is no way to reclaim. I don't know what else to do with the unicorn?

When the craftsmen began to dig ditches to divert water into the tunnels. The crowd sighed. The tunnel, which was so easy to dig, was destroyed by his own hands. I don't know what the meaning is, but it's clearly a waste. Can the watered tomb still be used?

"Let's all go back." Seeing the sunset, Liu Bei waved his long sleeves and left happily.

This unicorn ...... What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

The crowd dispersed.

Gongsun Shi, who often accompanies him, couldn't help laughing: "You're not in a hurry." ”

Liu Xiaopang smiled and spread his hands: "It is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." What if I'm in a hurry? ”
