Chapter 92: Release the Water!
According to Jiang Wei's instructions, it was cut into a three-foot-long short section, and it was all placed on the bank of the dam.
Now Jiang Wei is standing at the top of the Boundary Mountain, looking at the people evenly scattered throughout the canal, nodding, and shouting to Jiang Hai who is holding a flag beside him: "Haizi, send a signal, let them open the gate and release water." ”
"Holo"
As Jiang Hai's hand waved, Jiang Qing, who was guarding the shore, hurriedly shouted: "Eighth uncle, hurry up, release the water, they let the water go." ”
Hearing that the water could be released, a group of people were excited, and as soon as they pulled up the trough that had been blocked by wooden planks, the water level that had already exceeded the embankment roared down the canal and swooped down.
Bayuan's actions affect a red heart of the people of Shangwan, although they are about the same time as Bayuan to start construction, but the progress is not comparable, they are built on the mountain, all kinds of tools are troublesome to use, and the soil has no land to go, unlike Bayuan, because Jiang Wei specially let the craftsmen make a lot of wheelbarrows, so all the soil was transported along the canal to the fertile fields covered with mud.
Patriarch Liu said with emotion at this time: "Baili Bahe, only one Jiang Wei, it seems that we will have long-term contacts with Bayuan in the future, so that the clansmen should not conflict with Bayuan, especially Jiang Village, we will have more and more exchanges with each other in the future." ”
"Patriarch, this Jiang Wei dares to be tough and fierce King Qi, once it is too peaceful, he will definitely suffer, we are close to him, I am afraid that we will be affected by him."
Patriarch Liu smiled and said: "You don't understand, my Guanzhong men have a tradition of loving their families since ancient times, because they love their families, they love their families, and they love their families because they love their families, which forms a unique situation, that is, regional food protection." As the saying goes, there is a cloud and a chicken dog ascends to heaven, if Jiang Wei becomes a thing, we can all borrow light, if we can't produce a great talent here, and we are in the suburbs of Beijing, it will be troublesome. Those dignitaries and dignitaries go out on safaris twice in three days, and we must have to deal with a lot of trouble, and it would be different if there was someone who made them afraid. ”
"This Jiang only has something to be afraid of, if he really fights, I may not be afraid of him."
"Then you're going to try a fight with him?" Hearing the young man's words, Patriarch Liu said with a smile.
"This, we have no grievances, I ......"
"Okay, Jiang Weizhi's ability is not to fight, if this person is placed in troubled times, he is a prince, what he says is very instigating, otherwise there will be no scene of 10,000 people gathering in Chang'an City. Watch their waters pass. ”
The person in charge of guarding the boundary mountain saw that the water had entered the boundary mountain and hurriedly waved the flag in his hand, and after a while, there were also people waving flags at the other end of the boundary mountain.
Jiang Hai shouted excitedly: "It's passed, the water head has reached Huangpiyuan, Jiang Village, and Wancun...... It's the end of it. ”
"Wave the banner and let the people along the river check whether there is any omission in the canal, whether the water flow is smooth, and put the water head into the Zhangcun Reservoir after everything is checked, and everyone mixes in Hejia Dachang."
"Holo"
When the group of people heard that the water had been cleared, they hurriedly ran down the mountain and ran towards the village, and their peaceful life after many years was finally about to make waves.
"Patriarch, look, the canal of Bayuan has succeeded, and their water is complete." An excited patriarch pointed to the banner waving on the Boundary Mountain and shouted.
"Okay, tell this good news to our people, and let them work harder, this winter wheat has been dry for a long time."
Not to mention how jealous the people of Shangwan were, Jiang Wei did not run like Patriarch He and them, he walked down the mountain in a leisurely manner, checked along the canal, and everywhere he went, there were people nodding and saying hello, his eyes were full of respect, and it was not an exaggeration to know that this canal was called a life-saving canal.
When Jiang Wei came to Hejia Village, the people were almost there, Jiang Weiyue jumped on the temporary platform built of wood in front of him, looked at the joyful crowd and said loudly: "Today is a happy day, we have lasted more than two months, and the first project completed by the entire Bayuan collective action has finally been completed. Some people said that we should use the rest of the money to hold a grand temple fair, but I refused. It is because of the so-called face that we are fat and fat, which leads to poverty and poverty. ”
"No one believed that I could build this canal before, they all said I was bragging, but now that the canal is open, you can see if I am bragging. The canal was opened, and I think he connected more than just our fields. He should connect our hearts to hearts. The entire Bayuan is united, leaving aside the concept of inter-clan. Working together, we raised a total of 5,000 taels of silver for the construction of the canal. There was a lot of silver, and most of the canal was used. ”
"Now that the canal has been repaired, we will have those 100 acres of land for cultivation in the future, but considering that those fields are too far away from you, we decided to transfer the 100 acres of land in our Jiang Village in Hejia Village to the edge of Huangpi Plateau, and anyone who wants to rent these 100 acres in the future can rent it."
"But what I want to tell you more is that the construction of the canal has only just begun, and I believe you know what the Huangpiyuan used to be, but what has become of it later? Therefore, in order to prevent the invasion of wind and sand and the flow of water to take away the good soil, we must learn to cultivate the land in order to make this bare mountain look like a different place. How to raise the land? Build a ground to intercept the soil, plant trees in all the wastelands and beside the canals, and these days the patriarchs of all ethnic groups lead the villagers of all ethnic groups to dig up saplings and pick up tree seeds as soon as possible, so that our place will be completely green. ”。
"Also, I don't plan to hold a temple fair because we are not qualified to do it at present, since ancient times, people have divided people into four classes, Shinong, industry and commerce, although the peasants are put in the second place, that is because they want to coax the peasants to farm the land, so that they can pay grain for them to eat and drink, in fact, the status of the peasants is not as good as a merchant. They can buy anything, and we can't. ”
"In the past, scholars were always scholars, but now since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination has prevailed, we can use learning to change our destiny, and use learning to obtain the status of scholars, a century-old plan, education first, so we must establish a school, so that our entire children of Bayuan can go to school. Changing the fate of future generations and making them become human beings is something we should consider, not to hold a temple fair. Of course, it doesn't mean that it is impossible to hold a temple fair, but this money is everyone's hopeful money, and since we have taken out the money, we must use it for greater hope. ”
