Chapter 83: To no avail
Don't change it without permission, it will cause the canal to be misaligned, which will not only be unsightly, but also have poor water flow and be easy to block. ”
"Yes"
"Patriarch Shi is responsible for the construction of the section of Jiang Village from Hejia Village, Patriarch Jian is responsible for Hejia Village to Zhang Village, and Patriarch Zhang is responsible for Zhangcun to Wancun. Jiang Village was responsible for the construction of the canal outside the boundary mountain. No problem, right? ”
"Nope"
No one will really let their clan be responsible for the construction of the canal outside, so many of the extra people from all ethnic groups are assigned to the construction of the canal.
Jiang Wei finished arranging the work that everyone needed to do, and began to check the construction of the embankment along the embankment, and was attracted by a noise not far away, and hurriedly walked towards the noisy place, but saw two middle-aged men who were shouting insults there, and they were about to do it, and acquaintances on the side hurriedly stepped forward to admonish the two.
When Jiang Wei saw this scene, he stepped forward and said, "What are you two doing?" ”
Seeing Jiang Wei and the two of them was stunned, although Jiang Wei was just a hairy child in their eyes, but this hairy child could not be treated as an ordinary person, and the King of Qi had nothing to do with him, let alone them, the villagers of Shengdou, not to mention that he had also won the unanimous support of the entire Bayuan people.
Hearing Jiang Wei ask one of them, he hurriedly said: "I kindly told him that when digging the river embankment, it should be wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and he couldn't dig to the end like he did, and he said that I was nosy." ”
"Originally, it's just to dig a canal, why dig it so that it's wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, isn't it much easier to dig it directly into a ditch?"
Jiang Wei frowned and said, "I said that it is forbidden to steal and play tricks, do you think your idea is right?" Not only is it not good for you to work, but it is easy to collapse if you dig it, and we are building permanent canals, not temporary canals for a day or two, and if this is on your land, we can't control it, but here you have to follow the rules. Otherwise, the water level is too large, it will only pull the riverbed more and more bottom, why is the height of this place different, the water level can not come up, if you dig it like this, then the whole side of the river embankment will collapse and it will not be repaired, so hurry up and dig you widen. Also, I said that no matter what happens, you must be calm, you can't quarrel, since you are the first time, you will be deducted half a day's working hours first, and if there is a second time, you will be deducted for one day. ”
Although the middle-aged man was not angry in his heart, he didn't say much, who made him break the rules, now it's not as good as before, let's wait for later.
Jiang Wei walked along the river, and finally returned to the boundary mountain, the riverside is a stonemason digging, this side belongs to the loess is naturally dug by the villagers themselves, but looking at their progress, a group of people stay in one place, half a day is not much faster, Jiang Wei frowned and looked at it for a long time, and said to the He patriarch who was supervising the work on the side: "According to this progress, we want to complete it this winter, I'm afraid it's impossible, right?" ”
"Alas, it's easy to say anything else, it's that this mountain is the most difficult to dig, and some people have said that they have repaired the canal before, but everyone has never taken it seriously, which comes down to it, but it can't be completed in a day or two. I'm afraid it's going to take years. ”
It has been a few years to build a canal, can others wait for Jiangjia Village? Once the initial unification of the Great Jin Dynasty was completed, Li Yuanji would suffer if he returned to Chang'an, so he couldn't let the project slow down anyway, he needed this project to make Jiang Village famous.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wei walked on the top of the mountain and arrived: "Why are there many people, the foot of the mountain digs directly from the hillside, and the middle one follows this stone next generation, digging a well down, starting work at both ends, and letting the stonemasons move first." ”
"That's fine, but where does this soil come from? Even if you hang it with a cage, it doesn't pile up. ”
"It's okay, these soils are good soil, isn't there still a lot of vacant land next to the Yellow Leather Plateau? Pour out the earth wherever it is, and let it be made into the earth. With so much soil, it is more than enough to build a hundred acres of land. ”
"This is good, but who owns this hundred acres of land after it is repaired?"
"This is the credit of the collective, no matter who owns it, everyone will not want it, I think it will belong to the collective. The land rent collected from these 100 acres of fertile land is used for some collective activities. Temple fairs, canal collapse cleaning, river patrol volunteer meals, etc. are all held from here. It is also saved in the future, and it is difficult to collect money by letting people repair the river embankment. ”
"This method is good, and it also saves everyone's psychological imbalance." As he spoke, Patriarch He went to the foot of the mountain to summon those who took turns to work up the mountain, and started work from the top of the mountain.
Jiang Wei finished arranging the work of the demarcation mountain and was about to go down the mountain, when he saw the Jiang patriarch running over: "Jiang Wei, the bamboo strips that barrage the river are not good at all, and the bamboo strips have been blown away before we can stuff the stones into the water." ”
"You're not going to let people hold it down? With such a big hole, the water can flow freely. ”
"That's what we did, but when we started putting two of them, it was fine, and the more we went on, the harder it became, and after a while, we blew away several of them."
Jiang Wei sighed speechlessly and said, "I'll take a look." ”
Looking at the dam that a group of people began to build, Jiang Wei looked around and arrived: "The water flow is too fast, and you move the stones too small, it won't help at all, so it's okay, transfer half of the women to dig the ditch and transport the soil, and replace a group of young men with a group of young men to come over, take logs, iron chains, and find some more experienced old people who can pull the number to come over, and transport all these big stones in the river here." ”
"Oishi?" Patriarch Jiang looked at the stone pointed by Jiang Wei, and frowned deeply: "This stone can't be lifted without forty or fifty people, and even if it can be moved, there is no way to put it into the river." ”
"I have my own way to do this, you go and discuss with a few patriarchs about the transfer of manpower."
One of the two most difficult places in this canal is to raise the water level of the Bahe River, which cannot be washed away when it floods every year, and the other is the excavation of the boundary mountain.
Only in this way can all the remaining people be transferred elsewhere, Jiang Wei's original idea was to use the bamboo strip network warm stone to raise the water level, and now it seems that this has to be repaired every year, so in order to facilitate him, he plans to use the boulders in the river to complete it once and for all, arrange all these boulders in a certain order, inlay stones in the middle, and raise the water level as a whole, even if it is a big water, it can flow from the boulder without affecting other places.
Hearing that Jiang Wei had transferred people here, and the rest of the patriarchs each came to help with more than a hundred or so people, Patriarch He asked curiously, "Jiang Wei, do you have any good ideas?" ”
Jiang Wei nodded and said, "My previous idea was to use bamboo strips to inlay stones in the barrage.
