Yu Xiaotian's face sank when he heard this, and he reprimanded Lu Shi: "Mr. Lu, Yu doesn't like to listen to you like this!" Although the workshops are related to the livelihood of my sea wolf, this agricultural matter is also related to the food problem of more people!

Farming does not care about water conservancy, it is equivalent to being busy, since you are responsible for civil affairs here, this agricultural affairs are naturally within your jurisdiction!

Nothing is a reason for you to shirk, the water conservancy thing is a big thing, anything can be put down, but the water conservancy thing must not be delayed, now in the early spring, it is a good time to build water conservancy, this matter is about to be done!

In addition to the excavation of drainage and irrigation ditches for water use, this road is also a big deal, you can see what this road looks like in this area!

It seems that this road can be okay now, but once the rainy season comes, will this road still be passable? Not to mention a vehicle, even if it is a person, I am afraid it will be difficult to move an inch.

If there is an attack on the migrant village at this time, or if Tamsui City is attacked, how can we quickly gather manpower and material resources and send them to the accident site?

Furthermore, if you want to get rich and build roads first, this sentence is reasonable, the common people are not unable to grow things, but in addition to food, even if they grow some vegetables and fruits, can they be transported by virtue of this road condition? I can't afford to eat it myself, and I can't transport it, so who would want to plant it?

Just because the people grow a little rice and sweet potatoes every year, at best, they can take care of their stomachs and eat half full, as for wanting to live a good life, it is simply impossible!

Since we have brought the common people here, we must find a way to make their lives better, just to let them eat their stomachs, which is not what I want to see!

You also know that we are thieves now, and it is not easy to get the people to be with us! If we are dealing with our peers, the people will probably be able to advance and retreat with us, but if the government sends troops to suppress it one day, will these people still have the same heart with us?

If we want the people to have one heart with us, we can only let them live a good life, because the people know what the virtues of the officials of the Ming Dynasty are, and what the virtues of the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are.

Let's let the people understand one thing, that is, except for us, no one will be good to them, no one will care about their life and death, only in this way, even if the people are for their own interests, they will be with us! If you don't understand this, you are not qualified to be the chief of civil affairs!

So I don't care what you think, this irrigation and drainage ditch must start construction immediately, and by the way, the road must also be repaired, with a good road, the people can live a better life, otherwise, everything is empty talk! ”

Lu sometimes listened to Yu Xiaotian's words, and unconsciously became nervous, he just felt that this life had improved a little, if because of these things, Yu Xiaotian did not want to see him, then his good life would come to an end again.

In fact, in his opinion, although this Yu Xiaotian is a pirate, he understands better than the officials on land, don't look at the usual Yu Xiaotian does not often lose his temper with a straight face, but once he is unhappy, even if he does not stare, there is a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, and now Yu Xiaotian has lost his temper, which makes Lu sometimes very stressed.

So Lu Shi hurriedly nodded and said, "The student has been taught!" This is all the student's negligence, and the student will arrange it immediately! ”

Yu Xiaotian saw that Lu Shi's attitude was not bad, so he put away his anger and said to Lu Shi: "Mr. Lu, although you follow Yu, you are just a thief, but we can't look down on ourselves!"

This Taiyuan Island is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty, at least it is not regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty by the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the government, this is an enclave, whoever has a firm foothold here, who is the uncrowned king here!

You don't have to look down on yourself, in fact, you and Mr. Lin are not incapable, but bad luck and corrupt officials in the government, so you have nowhere to display your talents.

But I can give you a chance to show what you have learned, to put it bluntly, you are the official here, I don't want you people to learn the style of those officials on land, I want you to put the people in the most important position, only in this way, we sea wolves can survive on this sea, otherwise, sooner or later, we will either be swallowed up by our peers, or exterminated by the government!

To put it mildly, when you get on my thief ship, you are grasshoppers on the same rope as me, one is prosperous, and the other is lost! Except for me, I can guarantee that there is no one in this world who can give you such an opportunity to show what you have learned! I hope you can pay attention! ”

While listening to Lu sometimes, he nodded again and again: "The student has written it down!" Please rest assured that students will remember the teachings of the masters! ”

Yu Xiaotian laughed, waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to teach, you are a scholar, and I, Yu Mou, in your eyes, have always been just a rough man or a martial artist!" How dare you call it a teaching! Just remember my words and you're good to go!

You have to treat this matter as the most important thing, and we can discuss the problem of manpower!

Building water conservancy is a hundred-year plan, even if it is urgent, it cannot be rushed into action! First of all, we must find people who know how to do it, carry out unified planning, and build the ditches, which should not only be convenient for irrigation, but also be able to drain smoothly. Be cautious!

In terms of road construction, I can help with some ideas!

This road cannot be repaired in the current way, and it will not take long for the road to be built in this way, and it will still become what it is now!

Whether it is to build roads or water conservancy, it is a century-old plan, and it must not be careless! If we do something, we will not do it, if we do it, we must do it well, so that this thing can benefit the people for a long time!

The first thing to do is to lay a good foundation for this road, the soil can be fried in the old way, fried with fire, it can prevent insects and avoid growing grass, close some lime, the foundation should be thoroughly tamped, and it can be crushed with a big stone!

Then supplemented by crushed stone, you can put the iron slag with the stone and the sand to the road surface to grind, if the slag is not enough, the brick kiln and the porcelain kiln fired waste and slag, can also be used, repeatedly with stone to grind!

In addition, ditches must be excavated on both sides of the road, and the road must be higher than the ground to prevent the road from accumulating! The pavement should also be made low on both sides and high in the middle, which is conducive to drainage.

The ditch on the side of the road is also used as a water channel in the field, and the excavated soil can be used directly as a roadbed, so that the road can be used for a long time without being easily damaged......"

Yu Xiaotian squatted down, used a sharp knife, and began to draw on the ground, telling Lu Shi his requirements for building roads, and Lu Shi also quickly squatted down, watching Yu Xiaotian draw on the ground, and couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.

The common people of this era have a very narrow vision, and they rarely know too much except for farming or doing some simple handicrafts.

Lu sometimes before this, he had already learned Yu Xiaotian's ability in industry, and he knew that the soap and glass that the sea wolf used to make a lot of money at the moment were all made by him, including the cannons produced in the cannon and the arquebuses that the sea wolf was equipped with at the moment, which were all from Yu Xiaotian's hands, and even Yu Xiaotian also created a new type of ship like the Feizi Clipper in Chuanliao, even if he was a self-proclaimed reader with a wide range of knowledge, he was not as good as it.

In this era, knowledge is only in the hands of a few people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to learn about water conservancy and road construction, which requires reading a lot of books to master, but Yu Xiaotian has it at his fingertips, although he is not very professional, but he obviously knows a lot.

When talking about road construction, Yu Xiaotian also casually said some things about water conservancy construction, according to his understanding of the water sources around Tamsui City, he pointed out a lot of places, how to build dams, how to improve the water level, how to divert water and drain water, and this aspect of the matter is very clear.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian also proposed that in many places, some large water wheels should be built, and the water in the river should be directly introduced into the ditch and directly into the canal to the farmland.

As for the introduction of water from canals into the field, he also proposed to make use of geographical conditions as much as possible, so that water can be directly introduced into the field, even if the conditions are limited, more waterwheels should be used to reduce the demand for manpower, these canals should form a large network, drought can be diverted for irrigation, and in the rainy season, it should also be convenient to quickly discharge the water in the field and introduce it into the river to drain away.

Listening to Yu Xiaotian's eloquent talk, Lu sometimes nodded his head again and again, not daring to show a little arrogant expression in front of Yu Xiaotian, although Yu Xiaotian just said it casually, but there were many things in it, which surprised him.

Yu Xiaotian didn't learn anything about water conservancy or road construction, completely because he had never eaten pork, but he still knew how the pig runs, and roughly summarized some of the things he saw in the old time and space and told Lu Shi, but this alone made Lu sometimes very admired.

After saying these things, Yu Xiaotian took Lu Shi and others to continue to wander around the migrant village, Yu Xiaotian walked all the way, pointed along the way, and came up with a lot of things that surprised Lu Shi's subordinates in charge of civil affairs and were fresh.

For example, for the current rice field, Yu Xiaotian proposed the method of raising fish or duck in the rice field, and there was no chemical fertilizer and pesticide to assist production in agriculture in this era, so the fertility and pests and diseases in the farmland were very serious.

By raising fish or ducks in the rice fields, these fish and ducks can not only let these fish and ducks eat some pests in the rice fields, but also the feces of the fish and ducks can also directly act on the rice fields and improve the fertility of the rice fields.

In addition, when the rice fields are harvested, the fish and ducks are also fattened, which can allow farmers to have an extra income from the harvested fish and ducks, so that they can kill several birds with one stone.
