"Third child, you say."

"The water resources in our village are not very abundant, and the whole village lives on the water of this stream and a few ponds, not even a single rice field, and the stream water will decrease during the dry season, and sometimes it is difficult to irrigate normally. But now it has rained heavily, but everyone's fields have been flooded, and there has been a lot of loss. ”

"How to neutralize? Can we still control God? It's not up to us to decide whether it rains or not, right? Before the lieutenant could speak, someone spoke first.

"I know what the third child means." Zheng Yi stood up, "The third one wants to repair the reservoir, store the water when it is waterlogged, and use it in the dry season, isn't it?" ”

That's exactly what it means. We can dig a reservoir to store water, and then connect the reservoir to dig a ditch between the fields of the village. The stream water will always flow away, so it is better to store it in the reservoir and lead it to the ditch to facilitate everyone's irrigation. When it rains heavily, these ditches can also be diverted, so that the situation of flooding the fields like today's heavy water can be avoided. ”

"It's a good idea, but it's ...... financially The water conservancy project you mentioned sounds very huge, and I am afraid that the government will not give too much subsidies. In recent years, several nearby villages have also declared to the government to repair the reservoir, but they have not been approved because of financial reasons, not to mention that this is more difficult than repairing the reservoir, but also digging ditches, there are so many fields in the village, digging ditches between the fields, how many people do you need, how much money? After listening to Liang Hanchu's words, the mayor's eyes lit up, but when he thought of the financial problem, he was a little difficult.

"Captain, you don't have to worry about this, we have a ready-made reservoir. There is a low-lying basin on the side of Heavenly Ridge, surrounded by mountains, but there is a mouth that cannot accumulate water, so that it cannot form a lake. As long as we block that opening, it will be a natural reservoir.

We can dig up the soil and rock in the low-lying area to plug the hole, so that we don't need to go further to transport the soil and rock, and we can also make the basin deeper and increase the water storage, so we don't need to spend too much money and manpower in digging the reservoir. The main place that requires human and financial resources is to dig ditches, but this is not a big problem.

Now that the autumn harvest season is almost over, there is no work to do for a while before the snow, we can dig the ditch ourselves, and the reservoir has been built, and the matter of digging the ditch can be done slowly, it does not need to be completed in a short time, and it will not be delayed for several years. In this way, the money is mainly spent on the floodgates. I donated all the fifty taels given by King Yan, and everyone donated a little from each family, and it would not be a problem to repair the floodgates. ”

"I agree!" Zheng Yi was the first to say.

"I also agree, the third child has a good idea, I have been in this village for decades, and it is really distressing to see the crops die in the dry season, and it is also very distressing to drown the crops during the flood. Since it is feasible, it is good to build this reservoir! Uncle Pan continued.

"Then I agree!"

"Me too!"

"I agree!"

……

The heavy rain flooded many of the village's vegetable plots, and everyone felt that the construction of a water conservancy project was imperative, so no one objected.

It is......
