Dam No. 3.

The Tiejiabao people carried wooden barrels, and the barrels were full of mixed cement, and they had to wipe these cement between the cracks of the cement slabs, both front and back, to prevent the cement slabs from leaking.

When the last crack was smoothed out, the people of Tiejiabao on the shore cheered, because it meant that the dam had finally been repaired.

The final height of Dam 3 is 15 meters, which is also considered to be the safest figure, and the water level is lower than last year's, but this height is not a big problem, so that the river can flow into the moat without flooding the fertile fields because of the sudden rise of the river after heavy rains.

The dam has been repaired, but the people of Tiejiabao can not be idle, nor can they be idle, the upcoming spring ploughing is the busiest season of the year, and this year's Tiejiabao requirements for spring ploughing are much heavier.

In previous years, the land cultivated by the Tiejiabao people was only the fertile land enclosed by the moat, that is, a piece of land connected to the village and Daqingshan, but this year, because of the requirements of the Dragon King, the land on the side of Qingping County also had to be cultivated, and at least that land had to be reclaimed first, which was a difficult task.

For this reason, Liu Dalu, Tiema and some old farmers discussed for several days, and finally decided to complete this huge project in several steps.

First of all, the first step is of course to lay the cement road, Tiejiabao and Qingping County have official roads, the cement road will cover the official road, and then, with the official road as the main trunk, paving the road to both sides, the wilderness on all sides are included in the scope of shrouding, so that everyone is much more convenient to travel, and the efficiency is fast when reclamation, which is called sharpening the knife and cutting firewood.

The second step is to dig some ditches, planting does not mean that you can just reclaim the land and sow the seeds and wait for the harvest, spring plowing and autumn harvest, and there is a summer during the period, that is to say, you have to take care of it carefully.

In recent years, there has been a terrible drought, so everyone agrees that ditches are very necessary, and these ditches must also be connected to the Qingshui River.

Then the wasteland is reclaimed, which is the third step, but the third step and the second step can be reversed, and the wasteland is reclaimed first and then the ditch is excavated, or the ditch is dug while the land is reclaimed.

In the end, Iron Horse euphemistically proposed that the wasteland outside could be reclaimed, but it was the right way to cultivate the current fertile land first.

Of course, Liu Dalu is not the kind of dead brain who can't listen to people's words, so he asked how long it would take to cultivate the existing fields in the village, and when he heard the answer given by the iron horse, Liu Dalu was stunned.

Because Iron Horse said that it was a month's time.

"Why does it take so long?" The Dragon King is very strange.

The iron horse is also strange, is a month long? It's been like this in previous years.

When it was time to start spring ploughing, Liu Dalu knew why spring ploughing would take so long.

According to the general process of spring ploughing, the ground must be turned over first, raked again, and then sprinkled with seeds, and then the seedlings are planted when the seeds germinate.

Don't look at only these four processes, but the productivity of the ancient people was low, and the tools were also backward, so adding up, one month will be enough, if you are lazy, it will even take a month and a half.

The most terrifying thing is that there are only fifteen cows in Tiejiabao, three of which are calves, four of which are already relatively old, and only eight cows can work for a long time, which is really a sad data.

Cattle are an important animal power in ancient times, especially for farmers, without cattle then can not pull the plow, can not use the ox to pull the plough way to turn over the field, then you have to use the plow (read lei si, that is, hoe) hoe to dig, the efficiency is really touching.

Especially in ancient times, the grain yield was relatively low, so the range of land to be planted by each farmer was very large, and it took half a month to turn over the soil and rake it again, so it was strange that the efficiency could be high.

After he arrived in the county, he found that the efficiency of the county was even lower, because there were only five cattle in the county, and Quan Gang told the Dragon King worriedly that this spring ploughing would probably be very difficult, and if the wasteland was to be reclaimed, it might need to be delayed for a long time.

Liu Dalu then realized that his idea was too naïve, this was not the era when he could turn the ground with a sudden turn of a bulldozer, nor was it an era when he could automatically sow seeds by turning a seeder.

The Dragon King decisively changed his strategy, so let's do it first, cultivate the fields that can be planted first, first ensure this year's harvest, and then talk about the rest later, don't take too big a step and accidentally pull the egg.

............

The county town of Tiejiabao H is all in spring ploughing, and the Dragon King can't help much, but he can do something else, such as organizing children to cut grapes.

Let Tie Yong call a group of people, return to the Dragon King's Palace, dig the Glowing Grapes out of the ground, and then transport the Glowing Grapes to Tiejiabao and plant them on the outer wall of Tiejiabao.

Tie Ling held the hunting knife, followed by the eldest sister Zhang Xiaoyang, and behind Zhang Xiaoyang, there was a group of children, all of whom looked at the Dragon King with blank eyes.

"Children, I gave you a task, can you complete it?" The Dragon King said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoyang straightened his small chest: "Yes." ”

As soon as the eldest sister said yes, the children also giggled and shouted, "Yes." ”

"Okay, they're all good boys, after a while, your Aunt Tieling will cut down the vines, all you have to do is bury the vines in the soil, if you do it well, there will be a reward, and then I will take you to swim in the river, catch frogs, catch birds, and lift them high,"

The reward that the Dragon King said made the eyes of these children light up, and it was too tempting to be able to play with the Dragon King and lift it high.

Tie Ling was really helpless on the side, and said in his heart that the Dragon King likes to play with children so much...

"Tie Ling, come, cut the vine, cut it with an oblique knife, cut it a little wider, well, yes, cut it like this."

A grapevine was cut off, Tie Ling handed it to Zhang Xiaoyang, Zhang Xiaoyang chose a place, it was an empty position behind the house, and saw Liu Dalu nodding, so he happily dug a pit in the ground with a small wooden plank, and then buried the grapevines in the pit, covered the grapevines with soil, and stepped on a few feet: "Snake monster, I'm done burying." ”

"Wow, this vine is buried, it's so good, it's worth rewarding, the next one, Tie Ling cut quickly, let's plant all the villages today, and we can eat grapes in the future, okay?"

"Good..."

Grape cuttings are very simple, when creating luminous grapes, Liu Dalu also deliberately used the keyword group 'strong adaptability, fast growth rate', so for the glowing grapes can adapt to the environment, Liu Dalu is not worried at all, he is only worried about one point, after the luminous grapes are cuttings, will they maintain the characteristics of luminescence.
