"It seems that you can't lie down either, okay, let's go and see it together!" Fu Wenrui said, and strode out of the courtyard where he lived, and went out with Li Xiuwen and got on the horse.

Because the two of them were eager to see the water spewed out of the well, it only took a short time to rush to the location of yesterday's drilling.

"Wow-wow! Wow-wow! ”

From the newly drilled well, the well water gushing out has already flowed into the small river at this time, and the small river has slowly begun to flow.

From afar, a column of water about a meter high had erupted from the wellhead they had drilled.

Moreover, the officers and men opened a ditch along the point where the water column flowed downward, so that the water flowing from the well could flow into the small river, and then flow through the river to other places in Zhangwu Prefecture.

Li Xiuwen saw that the water in the river was a little yellowish and turbid because it was washed down from the mountain, so he said to Fu Wenrui: "Some people should be left behind to open a flow tank made of stones near this ditch, so that the water flowing out of the well will not collapse the mountain." ”

Fu Wenrui echoed: "That's what I mean, you and I want to be in the same place!" ”

Fu Wenrui and Li Xiuwen have now confirmed that they have successfully drilled this time, so on the way back, they rode horses and walked slowly on the road.

"Now that the well has been drilled, shouldn't we take advantage of the victory and find more sources of similar water?" Fu Wenrui was eager to try at this time, and he was determined to drill more wells immediately!

Li Xiuwen said with a smile: "I understand my eldest brother's mood now, and I believe that the people we scattered yesterday should have something to gain today!" ”

"I'm afraid that the situation will not be as expected!" Although Fu Wenrui was very happy because he saw the water flowing from the well just now, the entire area of Zhangwu Prefecture is so large, this well alone is far from enough!

After Li Xiuwen entered Zhangwuzhou, he observed the terrain and had a bottom on the matter of drilling wells in Zhangwuzhou.

Therefore, after hearing Fu Wenrui's words, he smiled and did not speak......

As Li Xiuwen expected, when they first returned to the Tongling Mansion, many officers and soldiers came to report that they had found a place similar to a water source.

"I say, there will definitely be a reward!" Li Xiuwen looked at Fu Wenrui with a smug face!

Fu Wenrui nodded: "I'll borrow your auspicious words, although it's a little early, but since we're up, let's finish breakfast early and set off as soon as possible." ”

"It's okay, after solving Zhang Wuzhou's urgent need, I can feel better." Li Xiuwen, who also had the same urgency as Fu Wenrui, also responded without objection.

The two of them hurried to the dining room.

After Fu Wenrui and Li Xiuwen finished breakfast, they started a busy day again.

They followed the officers and soldiers who reported and might really find the water source, and one by one to confirm whether the real water source was located.

What is surprising is that because Fu Wenjing's smooth and slippery methods and detailed introductions to finding water sources are easy to understand, more than 80 percent of all the places that the officers and men found that are similar to water sources can drill wells to get water!

On this day, the team of officers and soldiers sent by Long Xingche from the capital also came to Zhangwuzhou. It also brought a lot of drilling tools.

This also added a lot of strength to Fu Wenrui and Li Xiuwen's drilling work.

They divided the officers and men who had already learned drilling techniques into more than 20 teams and began drilling at the same time!

When drilling on a large scale this time, he was not as lucky as the water source that Li Xiuwen encountered at the beginning. That water source is shallower, and then it's easier to drill, but there are also some sources that take hundreds of meters to get out.

But the hard work paid off, and after two or three days, those wells that were more difficult to drill were also successfully drilled, but they were not as good as those shallow water sources!

When the crops in this field were in dire need of water, Li Xiuwen and Fu Wenrui traveled back and forth throughout Zhangwu Prefecture.

When the officers and men who drilled the well had complicated problems, they should be instructed on what to do, and then quickly solve the problems and drill the wells well!

The people in the vicinity who had drilled the well also hurried to get water and began to irrigate their crops.

Fu Wenrui mobilized the villagers to dig a lot of canals, and then found many carpenters to make a lot of waterwheels, so that some artesian wells that could gush out of the ground could flow through the ditches. With the help of waterwheels, water can flow to the fields at any time, making it convenient for people to get water to irrigate their crops.

During this period of time, they and their officers and men were basically drilling wells without sleep, and on the huge ground of Zhangwuhan, they found more than 500 water sources in total, and there are now nearly 400 wells that have been successfully drilled!

The people of Zhangwu, who had wells, used water to irrigate their crops. A large part of the crops are moistened by water during the effective period of time when the grain yield is settled.

They cheered happily and shouted loudly in the fields, because the wind and rain had been good in recent years, and in the sudden drought this year, they thought that Zhangwuzhou was going to maintain an arid climate again as before.

Just when people were panicking, they saw that Fu Wenrui led people to drill so many wells, which made their hearts very solid. Because of the wells, even if the drought in Zhangwuzhou continues, they don't have to worry about running out of water to irrigate the land.

The era when their crops could not survive because of drought and lack of rain in Zhangwuzhou is gone forever!

More than two months have passed since the drought and then the autumn harvest in Zhangwuzhou.

After the autumn harvest, the well-drilling work also came to an end. In total, they had nearly five hundred wells and countless water wheels in Zhangwu Prefecture!

The people of Zhangwuzhou are very happy to have so many wells!

However, this year's grain output is still quite reduced due to drought. But compared to the previous drought in the field, the yield of the crops that were about to wither is already very good!

Fu Wenrui looked worriedly at the grain output reported from various places, and there were records of obvious reductions, so he couldn't eat sadly.

Li Xiuwen looked at Fu Wenrui's sad face, and comforted: "The reduction in production will reduce the production, but it will be reduced this year, with the well, there should not be such a big problem next year." Don't be so upset! ”

Fu Wenrui sighed, looked at Li Xiuwen and said, "Having said that, how can I present such a grain production record to the emperor?" I've been here for seven or eight years and this year's production is the lowest, even lower than when I first came here! ”

Fu Wenrui put aside the grain production report with a sad face.

Now, all the water sources in Zhangwuhan have been drilled wells, and Li Xiuwen has completed his mission. I was going to say goodbye to Fu Wenrui and return to the capital, and when I saw that Fu Wenrui was uncomfortable, I poured him a glass of wine.

"Zhang Wuzhou has been in drought before, and the emperor doesn't know it, why are you afraid of him because of the reduced grain production! Speaking of which, he also has the responsibility to not take measures earlier, allocate funds and send people to help, and now he is in a hurry when there is a drought! ”
