At the source of the Black River, the water is choppy, Yun squatted on the bank, holding a long stick in his hand, leaning into the water, waiting quietly.

"Witch, we have invited the villagers nearby. ”

The guards who followed Yun stepped forward to report it, and Yun looked back at it.

A few men dressed as peasants followed the guards stiffly, their lower bodies covered with animal skins, but their upper bodies wore a short-sleeved sackcloth.

Mai is considered a relatively luxurious clothing in the alliance, and due to the scarcity of hemp, most people can't wear hemp yet.

Although the family is only half-hemp, they think they have a good life.

Yun's eyes swept over the corners of several people's Mai again, and found that there were obvious signs of wear and tear, which was another sign of poverty.

From this, it can be judged that these people used to be rich, but now their lives are much worse than before.

Being able to make a judgment through this kind of subtle observation is naturally not because Yun's mind is clear to such an extent, but because he has seen more of this situation along the way.

Before the ice age subsided, many people made a fortune by planting yellow millet, especially those who dared to try the yellow millet seeds improved by the tree tribe.

However, with the end of the glacial period, many yellow millets showed uncomfortable symptoms, and the yield not only did not increase due to the recovery of the weather, but decreased sharply.

A sharp decline does not lead to poverty, after all, there is also production, and those who suffer from poverty are all affected by floods.

After the flood, there was no harvest of yellow millet grains, which made the price of yellow millet soar.

It's not that some people hoard it, but that the yellow millet is corrupted on a large scale, so that those who have it in their hands dare not sell it.

This situation was alleviated after the reckless opening of the granary adjustment, but even so, there are still many people whose families are dilapidated.

In this case, most of them are among the farmers whose homes have been flooded, and the one in front of them still has shabby linen clothes to wear, which is already calculated.

"Wait a minute. ”

Instead of letting them come over immediately, Yun continued to stare at the bathymetry in his hand.

This thing was naturally developed by the fairy world, and the principle is to use the water totem in the long stick to perceive the depth of the water, and then reflect the depth to the handle.

There is a scale on the handle, each of which represents one meter, based on the coverage of the totem fire.

It is not very difficult, but the requirements for the immortal souls stationed in it are very high, because it needs to be very sensitive to feel the depth of the water.

After measuring the depth of the water in the place in front of him, he got up and handed the bathymetry to the people next to him for them to continue measuring, while he walked to a few farmers.

"The floods are still very bad this year, right?"

Yun found a dry place to sit down, he was a little tired from walking all the way, and patted the ground again, so that the people in front of him also sat down and talked.

"This year is a little bit better than last year. ”

The old farmer who led the way said, "Because of our preparations, we have opened fields on the mountain, but all these things on the ground are gone. ”

His eyes were a little red, this situation was not a year or two, although the alliance continued to provide relief, but the food he grew was always flooded like this, how could he not be heartbroken.

"Don't be sad, I'm not here, I'm looking for a solution. ”

Yun hurriedly opened his mouth to stop the old farmer's emotions and prevent him from venting wantonly.

There were a few conversations, but he didn't stop them, and these croppers were really crying.

Yun also thought about it, maybe because he had never farmed, so he didn't have this feeling, but these people in front of him were different.

Some of them have been living on the land since their grandparents, and have been farming for three generations, and it is no wonder that they suddenly find that no matter how hard they try, they will be flooded.

"Does Lord Sorceres-sama have a way?"

The younger-looking farmer next to him asked.

Although he looked sad, it was not as serious as the previous one, and even his spirit was there, obviously not defeated by the cruel reality.

"It's not serious here, it's mainly because the river is too narrow, the turns are sharp, and there may be too much sediment at the bottom of the water, which can only be determined by their measurements. ”

Yun all the way from the north of the capital to the north of the Heihe branch to the west, now almost to the city of Xi'an.

Along the way, he observed many waterways of the Heihe River, and also put forward treatment plans, which is not a big problem in his opinion.

"Can it be solved?"

The red-eyed old farmer couldn't help but step forward and grabbed Yun's hand and asked.

Yun's guards tried to step forward, but he waved his hand to stop them.

"It can be solved. ”

Yun said affirmatively: "I will sort out the detailed management plan and hand it over to your mayor, who will take you to clean up during the drought period." ”

The drought period generally occurs in autumn, when the water level of the Heihe River is shallow, which is easy to manage.

"You...... You're not staying here?"

The old farmer asked suspiciously.

Yun shook his head and said: "The Heihe River is wide and has many straight waterways, which is easy to manage, but the Nanjiang River is serious, and I should be in the Nanjiang River this winter." ”

The old man's expression darkened, but he nodded understandingly.

He heard the mayor of the town say that the Nanjiang River, which is roughly the west of Longcheng and the south of Xi'an, is the real serious flooding.

At least they can maintain their decency, and they don't take away the previous sackcloth, where it is said that there is no dignity, and most of them wear animal skins.

Even worse, the hides could not be worn, and could only be wrapped in a leaf.

"It has been measured that it is the serious siltation of the outer river that causes the river to overflow, and if it is cleaned up once a year during the dry season, the problem can be solved. ”

The witch's assistant walked over and handed the bathymetric in his hand to the witch.

This thing is still a trial product, and it is very precious, and the assistant does not dare to play with it in his hand for fear of breaking it.

Just this one trial was sent recently, and in order to test the water depth, the soldiers with good water performance had to go down and measure it in person.

Not to mention the danger, the test speed is still slow, and the error is also large.

It is said that now the fairy world is also vigorously building a bathymetric detector, but this thing has a bit high requirements for the soul of the fairy world, so the output is a little slower.

But it is said that a large number of people will be sent over soon, and Yun has also made arrangements for this, directly asking the people who sent the bathymetry to go to the source of the Nanjiang River in half, which is where the early test is needed.

"Cleaning up the mud, this matter will be organized by your mayor, and in winter, it will be hard for you. ”

Yun got up, patted the dirt on his buttocks and said.

"It's not hard, as long as we can prevent floods, we are willing to do anything. ”

The old farmer also got up, but he was still reluctant to let go of Yun's hand.

Yun didn't pull his hand back strongly, he knew what these people expected of them.

He slapped the old man's hand with his other hand, and said half-jokingly, half-comfortingly: "Don't go down then, let the young people go, they have great strength." ”

The old farmer immediately let go of his hand and wanted to show his muscles to Yun.

Yun took advantage of the situation to withdraw his hand and said, "I'll go and discuss with your mayor to solve the flood problem, you just wait for the news, if it enters the dry season in autumn, it will be easier to deal with." ”

The old farmer was also pulled by the young man at this time, and the man really saw Yun's intention to leave.

Saying goodbye and turning around, he took two steps and turned back again, and said: "If there is no dry season this year, then you have to stare at the river to dig sediment, this kind of thing is very dangerous, don't let the old man do it." ”

He said this to the young man, who nodded hurriedly, and then turned away again.

Follow the mayor to the town, where Yun rests for the night.

He didn't rest at night, he painted an image of this section of the waterway overnight, marked the key areas of sand discharge on it, and pondered it carefully before he fell asleep.

When he got up early the next day, he handed the scroll to the mayor of the town, carefully described the above contents, and repeatedly instructed how to do to discharge sand safely if it did not enter the dry season, and then set off all the way to the west.

After more than ten days, two more places where the floods occurred were explored one after another, and he rushed to Xi'an City.

"The flooding outside the city is even more serious, especially on the human tribe side, which is even worse than ours here. ”

At night, when he came to Xi'an City, he listened to Mu Wu, the lord of Xi'an City.

He is not a totem witch in the Ming totem realm, but a witch of a spirit tribe, because of his outstanding management talent, he was recklessly elected to be the city lord.

After Mang came to power, the requirements for officials were much higher, because he did not make enough plans like Shao and used the people below as tools, so the people he chose had a certain degree of autonomy.

This Mu Wu is one of the earliest ones he promoted, starting in Dragon City, because there was a war in Xi'an City, and he was reckless, because this person is good at allocating resources.

Muwu has been in Xi'an City for more than two years, and he has handled all aspects very well, including getting along with the snake tribe, the wolf tribe, and the Mi tribe, and he has handled it very well.

In two years, Mu Wu has secured the position of the lord of Xi'an City, so it is good for Yun to communicate directly with him on the issue of water control here.

"The people outside the city, hunting more, right?"

Yun asked thoughtfully.

Mu Wu nodded and said, "There are not many people who grow yellow millet, and some of them are because of the disaster in the east, and they want to go to the west to have a look, who thinks that this side is more powerful." ”

Yun nodded and said, "Then the west doesn't matter." ”

These words made Mu Wu stunned for a moment, and looked at Yun suspiciously.

"The problem at the source of the Nanjiang River is more serious, I have already sorted out this side of the Heihe, even if there will be problems next year, it will not be serious this year, and it will always be able to stand up. ”

Yun explained.

"Nanjiang, is it already so serious?"

Mu Wu still said with some astonishment.

Yun nodded, it was really serious.

"In the past two years, I have focused on Xi'an City, and I have no scruples about that side. ”

Mu Wu said with a wry smile.

Yun nodded understandingly, thinking that he, the leader of the Spirit Tribe who had no foundation at all, would definitely put in no less effort if he could gain a foothold in Xi'an City.

"The waterways outside Longcheng are not treated, but also in order to be able to discharge floods, we must always take care of our own first, and then say, when the Nanjiang River is done, I will take good care of the Heihe. ”

Yun directly stated his thoughts, and Mu Wu also expressed his understanding.

He has become the city lord all the way, and his ability is undoubted, and the most experienced is to make compromises, so he understands Yun's hardships.

"I'll take care of your arrangements here, don't worry. ”

Mu Wu looked at the tired Yun and said.

Yun nodded gratefully, and then asked to resign and rest.

He was too tired all the way.
