Chapter 97: Which is the best in mining technology

Build a dragon king temple in the south, a dragon king temple in the north, one in the east, and one in the west. Anyway, the dragon dance has a breath in hand, and a new dragon king temple is built, which is like playing.

What the? There are no rivers on the east and west sides? Dig it!

As long as the Dragon King Temple can be built and more Dragon King Temples can be built, the people of Du Tang do not need to be urged, take the initiative to go home and carry their hoes, and set off to the wasteland on the east and west sides of Du Tang, vowing to dig out two rivers before winter.

Du Tang is engaged in construction, and the people in the middle of the embankment can't sit still.

The fisherman was nervous and kept lobbying beside Long Wu, "Dragon Dance, the first Dragon King Temple was built on our half-embankment, and the Dragon King also showed miracles in the half-embankment first, why are they all cheap now?" There is also a river on the north side of our embankment! Not only do we have a river, but we also have a big lake to the east, as big as the sea! Such a good place, don't build a dragon king temple? ”

Long Wu tilted his head to look at the fisherman, there is a lake as big as the sea on the east side of the half-embankment? How did I not know?

Uh, I'm new to the city and don't know if it's normal......

Long Wu suddenly remembered that Xiao Buyan seemed to have chased to the east side of the half embankment, and said that he had chased to the edge of the sea, probably finding the big lake that Yu Jiaao said.

Speaking of the Great Lake, Long Wu wanted to go and see it now, but the threat of the City God has not been lifted, and that guy from Ze Qi will go back to complain, and Long Wu intends to stay here to prevent the City God from making trouble.

Long Wu pondered for a moment and said, "If there is really a huge lake on the east side of the half-embankment, let me know that if you don't build a dragon king temple, it's really unreasonable!" In this way, when I send the city god away, I will go with you to have a look, and then build a super large dragon king temple! ”

The fisherman was overjoyed, patted his thigh, and said, "Hey, of course what I said is true!" That big lake is called Lei Ze, thousands of miles away, it is one of the nine great rivers in the world, and it is said that it is still the hometown of the dragon king, but I don't know if it has anything to do with the dragon king we worship now......

Dragon Dance scratches his head, the Dragon King's hometown? How I don't know!

Long Wu glanced at Yu Jiaao, could it be that this guy is trying to lure me into building a dragon king temple in Lei Ze and fooling me with fake news?

Thinking of this, Long Wu's interest in building a new Dragon King Temple in the east of Bandi fell, and he said in a flat tone: "The matter of building a new Dragon King Temple will be talked about later." According to the rules of making a wish, you should go and dig the river for the people of Du Tang. ”

Thinking of the poem "Nine Colorful Waves through the Ditch" of the "Dragon King", Long Wu planned to mobilize manpower to dig more rivers in Bandi and Dutang, which would not only facilitate the irrigation of farmland in the place where the Dragon King Temple was built, but also give himself a good place to play in the water.

However, if you want to dig so many rivers before winter, the amount of work is still quite large, but fortunately, now that the sowing has been completed and the farming season has begun, the people have nothing else to do, and a lot of work can be completed.

There were about 1,000 people in Du Tang, excluding those who maintained the daily operation of the inn, and excluding the old, weak, sick, disabled, and pregnant, there were only more than 300 strong men who could mobilize, plus the fishermen brought more than 100 people from Bandi, a total of about 500. Fortunately, the women of Du Tang can help carry the soil, so these 500 people can only dig the river.

However, due to the lack of delicate tools, many had to use stone rakes, which greatly affected the efficiency, and the progress of a strong laborer could only dig one zhang a day.

However, Du Tang is nearly 100 miles long from north to south, and 500 people have to dig for a month before they can dig through. A river takes so long, and if both sides of the east and west are dredged, I am afraid that it will not be completed without two months of uninterrupted work.

But now it's less than two months before the start of winter! When the time comes, frozen ground will appear, and the speed will inevitably drop by another step.

In addition, these people are mortals after all, and even if they have some vitality on their bodies, they can't support them to work for two months in a row.

This is only Du Tang, the east side of the half embankment is adjacent to Lei Ze, and only some diversion canals are needed, but the west side is nearly 400 miles, which is longer than the length of the two rivers in Du Tang!

This is just the river, and if you count the aqueducts of each river, I am afraid that it will not be dug until the next year!

But when Long Wu proposed to dig a shallow improvise, it was unanimously opposed by all the people of Bandi and Dutang.

The people of Du Tang claimed that as long as two rivers could be dug up, the barren fields around their Du Tang could be turned into arable land, and they would no longer have the crisis of food shortage.

The fisherman of the half-embankment also said: "This river, if you want to dig it, you have to dig the best, otherwise there will be problems at both ends in three days, listen to me, yes!" ”

Dragon Dance took out the soil again, although this magic weapon can't take back the soil and turn it into a river from the ground, but it can grow the soil!

Dragon Dance had the idea of building two embankments on the ground, piling them up to create a river, and then using rainfall to replenish the river. Another advantage of this is that when irrigating, you don't have to put too much effort into it, and the water is left low!

Long Wu thought that this was a brilliant idea, but it was unanimously opposed by all the people of Bandi and Dutang.

The flood caused by the bursting of the Yellow River more than 40 years ago left a deep impression on them. The floods have been raging for more than 20 years, and some people have not seen the flood recede in their short lives.

In any case, the people can no longer accept the abundance of water at a higher level than where they live.

Dragon Dance also thought of a soothing question, with the Dragon King here, he could release the rainfall technique at any time, and the amount of water was not a problem, so why waste energy to dig the river? Isn't it the same to solve the problem of irrigation? Is there any difference between the water of the rainfall spell and the water in the river?

In this regard, the people's explanation is that different cultivated land needs different amounts of water, and the terrain is also different, and river water is always needed to replenish it; Secondly, the people also need water to live, and they can't always ask the dragon king for rain every day; Finally, people can also use the river to raise fish and fish, which is an additional channel for life.

Long Wu thought about it, and didn't insist on his thoughts anymore. After all, they used the soil to fill the river used by the people of Dutang, and they haven't found out yet, and if they talk to them again, maybe they will find out the reality that they are going to run out of water to eat. Besides, there is more river water, and Dragon Dance is more enjoyable to live.

Three ideas in a row were rejected by the people, and Long Wu decided not to stop them from digging pits, so let these things be considered by professionals.

Now, what Dragon Dance needs to do is wait for the City God to come and find fault, and then beat him back.

If the city god arrives early enough, he can also free Niu Dali from the battle warning as soon as possible, and then go to help the people dig the river.

After all, Niu Dali is enough to stand up to a city of people!
