Chapter 185 Abundant Parallel Goods in the Dammed Lake Mo Zhai tried to fish and hunt as much as possible
The so-called dammed lake actually refers to the fact that in the earthquake-prone mountainous area, the soil and rocks are dumped from the mountain and accumulated in relatively low-lying places, blocking the original river channel and forming a lake.
This kind of lake can be divided into many kinds, some dammed lakes have completed the diversion of the river channel when they are formed, and the upstream river water will not be injected into the lake again, which is a relatively stable dammed lake. The world-famous Tianchi of Changbai Mountain and the Great Master Sea of Taibai Mountain all belong to this category.
After the formation of the dam, the upstream river water is still constantly injected, and this kind of dammed lake is bound to not last for a long time, and it will collapse and burst the embankment after not long, so it can be described as dangerous and abnormal.
The lake mentioned by Wu Weiyi today belongs to the first situation. In the past two days, the reason why Wu Weiyi has to go up the mountain despite difficulties and dangers is to investigate the situation on the mountain and determine whether the upper reaches of the lake have been diverted and diverted.
Now that it is certain that this lake is indeed available, Wu Weiyi immediately decided to dig an outlet for this dammed lake!
"Brother...... This quiet lake is good, but why should it be difficult to get along with it? ”
I only heard Mo Zhai is quite puzzled and asked Wu Weiyi. Unexpectedly, this Wu Weiyi heard this question, but instead asked Mo Zhai:
"If Brother Wei tells Brother Xian that all the rations we urgently need now will be released here, Brother Xian may know the truth?"
Mo Zhai racked his brains and couldn't stop meditating for a while, but he still shook his head:
"This ...... Zhai Shi didn't know that what was available in this lake today was nothing more than fish, shrimp and shellfish. But we are not good at fishing, but what can we do about it? …… Moreover, at first glance, the radius of this dammed lake is only five or six miles. Unless...... If you don't take it out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to feed the people in the village! ”
Wu Weiyi looked at Mo Zhai's flexible head, but he was also stumped this time, so he simply stopped playing tricks and told him the truth:
"Maybe the virtuous brother doesn't know something, if this place is just an ordinary water, the number of parallel goods in it has its own rules. But this is not the case in this dammed lake today...... Today, this dammed lake was formed by the siltation of the mountain water system when the earth moved, so it is possible to store all the fish, shrimp and shellfish in the surrounding waters. ”
Wu Weiyi said as he swept the surface of the lake with his fingers:
"Brother Xian, look at this piece of water, the radius is only five or six miles, if it is ordinary, even if it is a skilled fisherman, if he can catch one or two hundred catties of fish and shrimp in one day, it is already considered to be the limit...... But at this moment in this water, even if it is a conservative estimate for my brother, if the parallel goods can be exhausted, it will be more than 10,000 catties! ”
Hearing Wu Weiyi say this, Mo Zhai couldn't help but be shocked. Turning his head, he looked at Wu Weiyi with surprise and stunned:
"This ...... If it is really as my brother said, it will be enough to rely on these parallel goods alone! ”
Wu Weiyi smiled slightly, and said to him again:
"Truly! After I go back, if we can continue to dig out the grain buried in the village, plus these parallel goods, so that the village can last for a full month, it will be more than enough! At that time, when the new grain is put into storage and boiled for a period of time, the daily use can be restored. ”
When Mo Zhai heard this, he couldn't stop nodding his head and said:
"Wonderful! Wonderful! If that is the case, this servant calamity will be over! ”
However, when the two of them were in the end, Wu Weiyi stared at this piece of water, but suddenly sighed. And there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. When Mo Zhai saw it, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled:
"Eldest brother, Zhai saw that the eldest brother was so melancholy, but I don't know what the reason is? The difficulties we faced in the past can be described as full of dangers, and I didn't see my brother in trouble at that time. And now that the overall situation has been decided, even the livelihood of the servants here has already been seen, and with such a happy event, I don't know what the eldest brother is worried about? ”
I only heard Wu Weiyi sigh again, and shook his head quite helplessly:
"Hey...... It's a pity! ……”
"Pity? I don't know what my brother said, 'It's a pity'? ”
I saw that Mo Zhai looked confused again, and Wu Weiyi continued to explain unhurriedly:
"To say that this dammed lake is located in an excellent terrain, and it is also a fertile land. If in the future, it can be used here to enclose the lake to make fields and recuperate. Then the village can be blessed by this heaven for generations to come, but at this moment, if we don't do our best to catch it, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to do this! As the saying goes, 'people have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries', but isn't it a pity that such a century-old plan should be disturbed by today's near-term worries? ”
As soon as Mo Zhai heard the words "fishing with all his might", his eyes did widen suddenly:
"Fishing with all your might...... What my brother said...... Isn't it?! ……”
"Hmm...... Brother Xian thought well, why do I have the leisure to go fishing in the lake now? This is the only way to solve it! Thinking about it, at this moment, you already know what your brother thinks and thinks, and you already know it. So it's up to you what you do next......"
Mo Zhai heard it really well, and he already fully understood what Wu Weiyi meant, and even nodded in response:
"Brother, don't worry, this matter can be handled by Zhai...... Without further ado, then Zhai will do it! ”
Seeing that Mo Zhai said a word, he turned around and ran away, and gathered a team of servants to get busy together.
And Yang Asha was not far away, and only heard Wu Weiyi and Mo Zhai talking about heaven and earth, as if they were listening to a book from heaven, and couldn't help but be a little frizzy:
"Mr. Wu, you guys are so boring, you're all playing riddles all the time, aren't you afraid of being listened to by Asha?"
Wu Weiyi turned around, but saw Yang Asha sitting there barefoot, playing with water.
"Hehe, if Miss Asha really wants to know the reason, it is better to give Mo Zhai a hand, he is now...... I must know everything about you! ”
Yang Asha snorted lightly, turned away again, and pursed her mouth to make a boring expression:
"Humph! That piece of black charcoal really didn't mean anything, so I didn't bother to care about him. ”
However, although he said so, at this moment, he saw that many servants had been transferred away by Mo Zhai, and they began to get busy again one after another.
One of the servants was in a hurry, passing by her side. Yang Ashadon shouted at him:
"Hey! Stop, but what does the black charcoal make you do? ”
The servant heard that it was the voice of this little ancestor, so he hurriedly stopped and replied:
"Ink ...... Master Mo, he asked me to wait and find some dead branches and leaves, and then tie them up with vines and pile them up in the ditch below. We don't know why. ”
Yang Asha looked at it and knew that he couldn't ask a reason from these people's mouths, so he jumped down from the mound next to him and flew directly to Mo Zhai's side:
"Hey, Black Charcoal! Look at what you are busy doing, but what are you doing? ”
At this moment, Mo Zhai was directing the dispatch of some servants, digging pits and making holes in the relatively thin places on the side of the dammed lake, and finally connecting these holes.
There were some people next to him, who filled it with black oil in a cowhide bag, poured it into the urn made of clay for boiling water, and simmered it over a small fire.
In addition, Mo Zhai also carefully wrapped a circle of cowhide around the edge of the clay urn, sealed the top of the kettle, leaving only a small hole, and used vines to introduce the boiling hot oil and gas into those soil holes.
When Mo Zhai heard Yang Asha's words, he turned around and said with a smile:
"Naturally, we have to find a way to 'fish with all our might'!"
Seeing that Yang Asha still didn't seem to understand, Mo Zhai sold a little playful to her:
"Hehe, Miss Asha, don't be anxious, everything is ready now, wait a while, I'll be done!"
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mo Zhai to run to Wu Weiyi's side in a hurry:
"Brother, now all the necessary materials are ready, just wait for my brother to give an order!"
"Then let's do it, the disaster is urgent, and time is running out."
Wu Weiyi only replied very briefly, and saw Mo Zhai wave his hand immediately. The servant standing on the high platform in the distance covered the sharpened bamboo spear with black oil, and threw it out with a "whoosh" after igniting it. And those bamboo guns were quickly and accurately inserted into those preset earth holes.
At this time, those earth caves were already filled with high-temperature oil and gas, and after mixing with ordinary air, they suddenly burst into flames when they met Mars!
And these earth caves were originally very particular when they were dug up. The space is relatively narrow, so the deflagration speed is extremely fast, and the surrounding soil layer is pushed away in an instant.
Wu Weiyi led everyone, standing on the hillside in the distance, he heard a muffled sound, after the muffled sound, he felt that the ground was trembling slightly, and the servants next to him couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this situation:
"It's over, it's over! Isn't the earth moving coming again? ”
"Don't be afraid, everyone! The movement here is caused by us and others, so there is no need to panic! ”
Mo Zhai was shouting as he saw that the soil layer on the side of the dammed lake had completely collapsed. A large amount of water began to pour out of the lake below, straight into the diversion canal that had just been set aside.
The ditch was dug wide and deep enough, so that even if the sloping water was extremely fierce, it would be immediately soothed when it dispersed into the ditch.
Mo Zhai ordered people to wait there early, and used the strongest vines to bundle these firewood and grass solidly, and threw them straight into the diversion canal.
The water in the dammed lake can easily flow through the gaps in the firewood and grass piles, but all the fish, shrimp and shellfish mixed in the lake water are trapped.
These thousands of piles of firewood and grass are like a big grate, sifting out those fish, shrimp and shellfish.
It took less than an hour for the entire dammed lake to drain the water, and at this moment, the deepest part of the remaining water in the lake was already waist-deep. In the remaining muddy water, I saw that there were countless fish and shrimp fluttering there, as if the entire bottom of the lake was boiling.
The servants on the side looked at the situation at this moment, and at first they were all stunned. But in the end, they all woke up, so they couldn't help but burst into a tsunami-like cheer:
"O God! This...... This is a blessing from heaven! God bless our people endlessly! ”
Now everyone understands very clearly that the servant has now survived another calamity. At this time, Wu Weiyi also smiled with satisfaction:
"Huh! It's really a catastrophe and you won't die, and there will be a blessing in the future! Oh, yes, Brother Xian! Speaking of which, the 'after-blessing'...... Is the virtuous brother interested in finding the 'Houfu' for them again? ”
After Mo Zhai heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Asha, who was already in bloom beside him. He quickly turned around and immediately nodded happily.
