Chapter 13 The Aqueduct

Because of the floods, the grain filling in the farmland was insufficient, and in some places, the orchards such as peaches and grapes were flooded, and the fruits cracked and even fell to the ground, smashing all kinds of cracks, and some early children fell to the ground with only a little bit.

For the mature early rice in the field, the flood came and went, causing the ears of wheat to germinate, which directly affected the yield and quality.

Because of the long-term water accumulation and lack of light, even the surviving rice seedlings are like frosted eggplants, and they seem to be ready to go to the back road of the brothers at any time, and the fertilizer in the soil of the city gate.

The large fields were trampled on their backs as if they had resisted the war of fierce beasts, and some of the fallen fruits on the ground were left unattended, soaked in the muddy water and rotten, emitting a foul smell.

Gu Zaoli didn't know where to conjure up two pairs of leather boots and put them on for the two of them.

The soil is soft and muddy, and while stepping on it, sink down a little, bringing out some miscellaneous mud and grass with the amplitude of the next movement.

The influence of rice has to wait until the middle and late stages, and now everyone can eat only those inferior rice.

Xiqiao Village is located on Xiqiao Mountain, which is a small village that survives on the ground, with roads and green mountains, and farmland that is sometimes flat and sometimes sloping.

However, the gentle farmland is extremely sought-after and can be regarded as good farmland, but in the event of such a flood, the area that is damaged is the largest, because the stagnant water cannot be drained, and all of it is piled up in the field, and it is rooted in the soil and soaked in the roots of the crops.

And those steep slopes of the farmland because of a certain slope, poured out most of the water, poor seedlings at the bottom of the mountain suffered, just a few months, as if experiencing sea and land changes.

Wen Ruyan stood in the dirt, her mind was running at high speed, and she quickly went through the knowledge of high school geography.

After surveying the farmland for a long time, I didn't even take care of food when I went back, so I bought some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and closed the door directly.

Gu Zaoli shouted twice at the door, but Wen Ruyan locked himself at the door without any movement.

Guessing what Wen Ruyan thought about it, he didn't bother.

More than 50 people squatted on the ground with bowls, and although there was no bench to sit on, everyone laughed happily.

Zhang Ju looked around and didn't see Wen Ruyan's figure, so he held a big shovel and sat in front of Gu Zaoli: "What about the big boss?" ”

Gu Zaoli raised his eyebrows and repeated: "Big boss? ”

Zhang Ju No. 4 didn't feel anything wrong, and said as a matter of course: "That's right, didn't the big boss go out with you to see the fields today, why are you the only one who came back and didn't see the big boss." ”

Tang Li was eating, and when he heard the movement here, he hurriedly explained.

"My sister-in-law gave everyone a home and provided such a good life, so everyone is happy and convinced to recognize her as the big master."

It was the first time Gu Zaoli had heard about this, and he felt novel and natural at the same time.

Wen Ruyan has only been here for half a month, and it is unprecedented that so many people can accept her and willingly recognize her as the master.

It is enough to prove that Wen Ruyan's personal charm.

Seeing Wen Ruyan receiving everyone's love like this, Gu Zaoli felt inexplicably proud, and smiled toothlessly.

"You lords are in the house thinking about the farmland."

"Farmland? There is nothing to ponder, as long as the big boss gives us an order, we will go to farming. ”

As he spoke, the door was opened with a "bang", and Wen Ruyan stood at the door, holding two pieces of paper in his hand, fluttering in the wind.

She put the paper on the table and was indignant: "Today, I will tell you about the knowledge of floods, the cause of floods is that the surface runoff can not be accommodated by rivers, lakes and reservoirs, and the water in the depression cannot be discharged in time. ”

Of course, there are various factors such as topography and climate, but there is no world map and no topographic map, which is only book theory at present.

After Wen Ru finished speaking, everyone stared wide-eyed, and the faces of the big plates were full of doubts, and some people even began to take a nap.

These people have no culture and can't understand Wen Ruyan's words, but when it comes to farming, they are all good hands.

Wen Ruyan has theoretical knowledge and lacks practical experience, while others here do not lack practical experience.

Seeing that no one understood what Wen Ruyan meant, Gu Zaoli relayed the words in plain language on the side, and then everyone nodded suddenly in understanding.

Zhang Ju approached Wen Ruyan and looked at the two pieces of paper in her hand puzzled: "Big boss, what does what you drew on the paper have to do with what you just said?" ”

"Now that's all I'm going to talk about." Wen Ruyan glanced at Gu Zaoli approvingly, and showed the paper to everyone.

"Building a reservoir and building a dam is undoubtedly the best way, but the cost is too great," Wen Ruyan showed everyone the first piece of paper, and then replaced it with the second paper: "So we just need to build a canal here and divert the stagnant water into the water channel, so that the excess water can be drained, but the final flow direction of this canal is very important, I have already surveyed it today, there is a river five kilometers away, because the flood level has risen, it is now only two kilometers away from the farmland, we can divert the excess water there." ”

Zhang Ju nodded as if he didn't understand, grasped the key point of Wen Ruyan, and built a canal.

But he looked at Wen Ruyan with wide eyes, and then looked at the black winter thing on the paper: "Big boss, what is this painting?" ”

Two lumps of black bumps that look like farming tools.

Could it be that the big bosses came up with other drainage methods?

He looked at Wen Ruyan with starry eyes, this teenage little girl, he admired the big boss so much, he really wanted to knock it down with a shovel to see what was in his head.

Wen Ruyan subconsciously felt cold behind him, pointed to the two pieces of paper and said: "This is the current state of the farmland, and the second one is the farmland behind the canal I painted." ”

In an instant, the entire courtyard fell silent, and a pair of eyes were as big as copper bells, staring at the painting in Wen Ruyan's hand without blinking.

Tang Li took the lead and couldn't help but burst out with a low laugh, everyone seemed to have been triggered by a certain laughing button, and they couldn't breathe one by one.

Gu Zaoli also crooked his mouth, and his soft laughter overflowed.

Wen Ruyan suddenly touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment, rubbed the ink on her hand on her face, and she put away the two paintings in annoyance: "What are you laughing at, isn't it just that the painting is a little ugly." ”

She knew that she didn't have any talent for painting since she was a child, and when she was in elementary school, she drew a cat, and she was praised by the teacher, saying that she would draw cows at such a young age, and she let her paint portraits when she was in college.
