Chapter 75: A Splash of Loess
After encountering Bahara, he dumped sand here. Everyone only knows how to farm, but they don't know how to maintain it, which leads to serious desertification of the soil and can't store water, which naturally becomes like this. ”
"Alas, big brother, you see there is another tree here, which has just grown, and it didn't grow here before."
"Oh, dig down and take a look."
"Holo"
Jiang Qing had a lot of strength, and after a while, he pulled out a big pit, Jiang Wei touched the soil in the ground with his hand, and suddenly said in surprise: "Big head, this land is not desertified, but it is covered with a layer of sand, which can't hold water, and the bottom is still loess, as long as we turn the ground deep and pour water on it, it is still good land." ”
"Big brother, you're not confused, are you? It's because there is no water that we are here that is deserted, and if there is water, who doesn't know how to turn the ground deep. ”
"Water, it's going to be water soon." Jiang Wei said this, and ran towards the sixth uncle's house with a laugh.
There were dead people in the village, or three at once, in order to facilitate the treatment, the Jiang patriarch specially asked them to park the people in the ancestral hall, Jiang Wei didn't see anyone at the sixth uncle's house, so he ran to the ancestral hall again.
Although Patriarch Jiang is a mess in external affairs, he is still good in the affairs of the clan, and he is in Zhang Luo for a red and white happy event.
At this time, he was organizing everyone to cook, and he saw Jiang Wei running in in a hurry, for Jiang Wei, the Jiang patriarch is now afraid, this is the uncertainty factor, he used to boast that he wanted to pick Hejia Village, he was already tired of coping, but now it is better to directly deal with the king of Qi.
Looking at Jiang Wei's anxious appearance, Patriarch Jiang frowned and said, "Jiang Wei, since you wake up, come over to help, the dead are the greatest, you should know this truth." ”
"Fourth uncle, it's about to be the farming season, and everyone has nothing to do, should we turn over the land of Huangpiyuan?"
Patriarch Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then said as if he had heard some joke: "If Huangpiyuan can farm, what can be the turn of Jiangjia Village?" Where crops don't grow, it's useless even if you turn over the land, and where there is no water, how can you farm. ”
"How does the fourth uncle know that there is no water? We live on the edge of the Ba River, so why don't we irrigate it with water? ”
Patriarch Jiang almost laughed out loud, but he still didn't want to rush to stimulate Jiang Wei, in case he was stabbing Lou Zi, it would be bad. I had to say: "The Bahe River has to be two or three miles away from the Huangpi Plateau, and where there is a mountain obstruction, even if the mountain is dug up, the water level of the Bahe River will not rise." ”
"Big head, find some ink, pluck goose feathers and find some straw paper, and follow me to the edge of the Bahe River."
"Oh"
Jiang Wei turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall as he spoke, and when he saw Jiang Wei leaving, Patriarch Jiang said disdainfully: "It's really whimsical." After speaking, he looked at Jiang Laosan, who came to help, and said: "Third brother, I didn't say you, the child should be cleaned up, you see that your two sons are more naughty than the other, if you don't discipline well, in case of trouble, none of us can afford it." ”
Jiang Laosan was a little embarrassed by what Patriarch Jiang said, so he had to sigh helplessly: "The child is older, and he can't help it." “
Patriarch Jiang glared when he heard this, and the anger in his stomach was about to bubble out, and he really heard Jiang Laoba, who was passing by, said: "What these two children do is for Jiang Village, even if there is anything inappropriate, we can understand it, don't mind the third brother." Jiang Wei handled the matter of King Qi very well this time, otherwise these people in our village would have died in vain. ”
"Old eight, I think you are confused in martial arts, this is still handled very well, we have offended the imperial court, and they will settle accounts with us sooner or later. Now it's just a matter of getting by. Patriarch Jiang stared at Jiang Laoba a little speechlessly and said.
Jiang Laoba said nonchalantly: "It's because of this that we have to let these children make trouble, otherwise we can only wait for death when the court starts, in case these children make achievements, we may not be able to survive in death." ”
Jiang Wei didn't know Patriarch Jiang's opinion on him, and even if he knew, he scoffed, he knew better than anyone who King Qi was, if he didn't make some achievements, once this matter calmed down, the day King Qi returned to Chang'an would be the day their Jiang Village was sacked, so he must not stop.
Jiang Wei and Datou stood on a mound on the edge of the Huangpi Plateau, which is still two miles away from the Huangpi Plateau, and this loess plateau is the boundary mountain between the Bahe River and here, this side is the loess and the other side is the stone mountain, the other side of the stone mountain is the bed of the Bahe River, the water is turbulent, but there is still a mile away from this boundary mountain, and this boundary mountain is all silt and fine sand and stones are piled up, and it is more than a zhang higher than the riverbed.
Over the years, the Bahe River has not been able to submerge the silt riverbed next to the mountain, and I don't know which dynasty formed the silt.
Looking at the surging Bahe River, Jiang Qing said helplessly: "Big brother, don't look at it, although the fourth uncle is a soft egg, he is right, we just chisel through the mountain, and the water can't come up." ”
"Who said that you can't come up, why is our village lower than the Boundary Mountain, if you can dig out a big hole in the Boundary Mountain, and find a way to raise the water level of the Bahe River, you can naturally complete this task."
"Big brother, go home, you shouldn't be beaten stupid, right? How can the people in our village accomplish such a complex and huge project? According to the amount of work you mentioned, it is not possible for the whole village to complete it in seven or eight years. ”
"You're right, it's not possible in our village, but it's possible if you can't prepare." Jiang Wei gave a thumbs up and began to measure on the top of the mountain, as a soldier, he still knows how to measure the three points and one line.
Jiang Qing watched amusefully, in his opinion, Jiang Wei was beaten stupidly, and kept writing and drawing on the paper, while Jiang Qing was holding ink, and he followed Jiang Wei wherever he went.
Jiang Wei has walked a lot along the way, all the way to the easternmost Wanjia Village, and the villagers who have good things along the way muttered: "What kind of moth is this Jiang Wei doing?" ”
"Who knows, Jiang Laosan has been honest all his life, but he didn't expect to give birth to these two ghost things, it's really not worrying at all."
"That's true, but most of the children who are too well-behaved are not promising, don't you see that no matter where they are brave, they are always the best people who live?"
Jiang Wei naturally didn't hear the discussion of passers-by, his mind was all on these papers, writing and painting all the way, and as soon as he got home, Jiang Wei locked himself in the house. began to study those patterns on the case, and Jiang Wei didn't even go to the funeral of the sixth uncle.
