Chapter 169: The Second Bad Burn (1)
Today, Zhang Junping came with Du Tou Zhouquan, and Sun Xu was tired yesterday.
I barely went to the county government today, and Zhang Junping did not embarrass him, and asked him to stay in the county office to inspect the streets and maintain law and order.
Zhou Quan saw Zhang Junping asking about a piece of land at the foot of the mountain, and quickly gave an answer, this piece of land was originally owned by the Zhou family, and was later donated to the Wuzhi Temple by the Zhou family.
Wuye Temple, is a temple with a long history, was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, take: the six roots of the dweller are pure, the meaning of the big is to relieve the dirt, and there is also the meaning of not staining the dust.
Zhang Junping listened, smiled and did not speak, he knew that the practice of donating land to temples and Taoist temples like this was normal in ancient times.
The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, and donated money, materials, and land to pray for the blessings of the gods.
This land is in a valley formed between Wuclaw Mountain and Dengtaigu on the west side of the main peak of Kunyu Mountain.
The land is fertile, and it is close to the river of Suishui, which is convenient for irrigation, and it is a rare fertile land.
The area is not small, and there are as many as three or four thousand acres by visual inspection.
It's really hard for the Zhou family to donate such a piece of fertile land, with that, it is better for the tenants, and the accumulated merit is more effective than donating land to the Bodhisattva.
Thinking like this, Zhang Junping couldn't help but show a disdainful smile on his face.
"The magistrate asks what this land is ......," Zhou Quan asked tentatively.
"Zhou Dutou, you see, this land is between the canyon formed by Dengtaigu and Wuclaw Mountain, with high mountains on both sides, and this place is extremely suitable for building a reservoir!"
"Reservoir? What is a reservoir in Zhixian County? But a storehouse for storing water? ”
"That's understandable!
I read the Muping County Chronicle, this water river, also known as the Jinshui River, the source is in the five claws mountain!
This river floods every three to five years!
At worst, the crops will be drowned, and the family will be ruined!
The most serious one even flooded half of the county! ”
"Zhixian is right, the people of Muping County live and drink, and farming and irrigation all rely on this water-draining river.
It is said that there is a dragon king living in Kunyu Mountain, this dragon king was demoted to the lower realm because of the violation of the heavenly rules, suppressed in Kunyu Mountain, and has to bear the thunder punishment every day, after each thunder punishment, the dragon king is in unbearable pain, and will call the wind and rain to clean the wound.
The water that cleanses the wounds will flow out of this five-clawed mountain, which will cause the river to swell.
Zhixian looks at the current width of the river is 200 meters, and in summer, the surface of the river will become more than 300 meters!
In the past, every summer, the county would organize people to inspect the river embankment day and night...... "Comprehensively and seriously told Zhang Junping an ancient mythological story.
"I have been punished by lightning every day, and it has been two days since I came to Muping County, why haven't I heard it?"
"Zhixian doesn't know anything, one day in the sky, one year on the earth!
The day that Xia Guan said refers to a day in the sky, and when it comes to our mortal world, it is a year, so every summer there will be lightning and thunder in the mountains, and then the water of this river will skyrocket!
Legend has it that the five-claw mountain, originally higher than the main peak of Kunyu Mountain, was later scratched by the dragon king's claw, only a small part is left, and the top of the mountain still leaves five deep claw marks, so our local people call this mountain the five-claw mountain! Zhou Quan explained to Zhang Junping very solemnly.
Zhou Quan is such a burly man, serious, and tells mythological stories to Zhang Junping with a reverent face, and the scene is a little weird no matter how you look at it.
Well, if you say it's the dragon king, it's the dragon king!
Zhang Junping didn't want to give him science about the deep mountain climate or something.
As long as it doesn't affect your plans to build a reservoir.
Zhang Junping didn't bother about the Dragon King, but said his thoughts, "Well, I've also seen this in the county chronicles!"
You see, if you build a dam outside this canyon, it will become a natural reservoir!
This reservoir can share the pressure of the embankment of the Shui River!
Then, under the reservoir, we build a canal, divert the water to the wasteland, irrigate the land, and turn the wasteland into fertile land! Zhang Junping pinched his waist, pointed to the direction of the canyon with one hand, and drew a circle on the wasteland.
"The magistrate of the reservoir said by the county does not understand, but if the flood of the river can no longer break out, then the county is the great benefactor of my Muping County, and the people of the river will inevitably be grateful to the county, and give the county a shrine and worship it every day!"
"Ancestral hall or something, I don't need it, my Zhang family is favored by the emperor, I Zhang Junping can win the trust of the official family, and I have received the post of Mu Ping's magistrate, so I ask for the people's life and share the worries of the official family, that is my business!"
"Zhixian Gaoyi, I admire!
The lower officials are ashamed, but they can't help the magistrate! Zhou Quan said with a guilty face.
Zhang Junping glanced at Zhou Quan, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a bearded face looked like a reckless person, but he didn't expect to have a delicate heart.
Before he could say anything, he thought about running away first.
In fact, this can also be understood, the construction of dams, canals, is not Zhang Junping stretched out his hand and said, here to build a 30-meter-high dam.
Then there was a dry sound, and a dam fell from the sky.
With another hand, an aqueduct was built here, and then the earth shook, and a 100-meter-wide canal appeared.
Whether it is the construction of a dam or a canal, it takes countless manpower and material resources to do so.
Moreover, with the current level of science and technology, the construction of reservoirs and dams and the construction of diversion canals all rely on manual hands to carry the shoulders, which requires more manpower and material resources.
Zhang Junping's plan, in Zhou Quan's view, is a great success, but it will only waste people's power and achieve nothing in the end.
Therefore, Zhou Quan will retreat, and when his brain is in water, he will accompany Zhang Junping to go crazy.
Two or three years later, Zhang Junping can throw off his sleeves and leave, but he will live in Muping County for the rest of his life.
Zhang Junping himself knows that this plan is not something that can be completed in a day or two, or even a year or two, but is a long-term task, and I am afraid that it will take ten or even twenty years to realize his plan.
Therefore, I don't care about the thoughtful attitude, I will see the hearts of the people over time, take your time!
What's more, even if Zhou Quan wants to be his assistant to Zhang Junping, he doesn't have to!
Just kidding, who can he lean on and be his assistant?
"Let's go, take a look around, let's take a trip along the Mishui River!"
The construction of a reservoir in the canyon is undoubtedly the best, but the amount of work is too large, and Zhang Junping does not dare to try it easily for the time being.
He just gave the ten major families in the county a thorough mouth.
Let them be prepared.
In addition to building a reservoir in the canyon, there are other compromises, which need to be investigated on the spot.
For example, directly on the east bank of the Mishui River, open embankments and build canals to divert water to wasteland, which can also achieve the effect of diverting water to irrigate the land and wash the performance.
Zhang Junping took Zhou Quan and other officials, along the river embankment, all the way to the direction of the county seat, Zhang Junping would stop from time to time and look around.
Remind you to Tianxing: Ask for a collection after reading (), and then look at it again It is more convenient.
