Chapter 258: Life in the Desert (12)

A group of people under the command of Fuyu do what they say, they are all soldiers, they have nothing to say about their physique, they naturally plant trees, dig pits and plant seedlings and water, and they can hit hundreds of trees a day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After a few months, the people had left the royal city and came to some towns and villages attached to the royal city.

Their daily water supply could not be returned to Wangcheng to replenish it, and ordinary rural towns were also insufficient, and the problem of water shortage gradually appeared.

"Young Master Mo, should we go back to the royal city to adjust first?"

After tossing for so long, he didn't do anything else except plant trees, but he didn't see anything effective, and Vice General Zhao felt that the general had really arranged a thankless job for him.

Fuyu looked at the desert in the distance, thought for a moment, and then rejected his offer.

It is already so far away from the royal city, if you go back again, you will have to delay a lot of time.

"Each of us dug a little pit here, just as I had dug it, and when he had finished digging, he put the kettle in the middle of the pit and covered it with the skins of the animals that he had brought on his body, and pressed it with sand around it. Then put a stone in the middle of the skin, so that the middle of the skin will be dented, so that tomorrow morning we will have water to drink. ”

"That's it?"

Vice General Zhao was skeptical, what he said was too simple, right?

"Oh, don't worry, this is the principle that water vapor will turn into water droplets when it condenses, anyway, I'm here anyway, I can't joke with myself!"

When Vice General Zhao heard this, he also felt that what he said was reasonable, so he ordered to go down and let those people do according to this.

Many people complained in their hearts, but because of the suppression of their identities, they did not resist.

Everyone's expressions fell in Fuyu's eyes, but she didn't care, backward nations, always stupid.

In the early morning, Zhengxiang, who was sleeping in the tent, was woken up by a surprise roar, followed by several roars, and Fuyu had no choice but to get up.

"Mo Gongzi, you are really a living immortal, how did you do it?"

"Yes, Mo Gongzi, you said there is water, there is really water!"

"If we get water like this, won't we never run out of water?"

Fuyu shook her head.

"No, you can't. ”

"Why?"

The crowd who were in excitement suddenly fell silent as if they had been splashed with a bucket of cold water.

"Because the sand here is wet enough, we chose to plant trees here first, of course, enough for us to get water, but until the desert environment improves, there is always a limit to water, and taking too much water like this will make it more arid here, so in the end, it is necessary to improve the environment. ”

Everyone heard her say this, and they couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

Seeing this, the princess intended to make everyone interested, so she smiled and said,

"This is also very powerful, at least it can solve the urgent need of lack of water on the way, how did you do it?"

"Uh... I asked everyone to press a stone on the hide, so that the condensed water droplets could gather in one place and drip down. Of course, you can't choose the hides that absorb water, otherwise they will all be sucked away. ”

As soon as Fuyu explained this, everyone almost understood, unlike when she only mentioned before that water vapor meets condensation, everyone doesn't understand.

"After planting trees in the more humid parts of the basin, I will return to the royal city, and when the time comes, you people will take your own people to the cities outside the basin to mobilize and teach the people there, and strive to plant all the wetter land in the country of quicksand within two years. In addition, around all the oases, planting sea buckthorn, sea buckthorn is easy to survive, the sand fixing effect is also good, and it can also bear fruit, which is a double benefit for the people in the desert. ”

"Young Master Mo, you won't lead us anymore, what are you going to do when you go back to the royal city?"

"Repair the river. ”

"What is there to repair the river?" the princess did not understand

"We'll know when the time comes. ”

In less than half a year, Fuyu ended the task of planting trees in the basin, and she only took Vice General Zhao and the princess back to the royal city, and the others went to the outside city according to her instructions.

There is a big river in the basin, on both sides of the big river, the land is fertile in the rainy season, you can grow some wheat and other crops, in the dry season, the water flow is not enough, only enough for the residents on both sides of the river, can no longer continue to develop agriculture.

The royal city of the country of quicksand was built around this great river, and the royal city was proud of it.

Fuyu and his party rode camels and walked upstream along the river, and Fuyu drew as she walked, carefully memorizing the shape of the river and so on.

"If this river doesn't dry up so quickly, or if it is made higher, I need to repair the river, this is a big project, and the people need to be summoned, Vice General Zhao, can the general do it?"

Gather the people?

This is not an easy matter, even if it is a great general, he does not privately mobilize the power of the people.

"The king needs to be consulted. ”

"But the king has said that I have full authority to deal with the problem of managing the desert environment. ”

"This ......"

Vice General Zhao hesitated, he originally looked down on Fuyu very much, thinking that he was just a charlatan, but after more than half a year of contact together, he felt more and more that he was wrong, Fuyu is not only not a liar, on the contrary, he is a person who understands a lot of things that others don't understand.

He really has a little trust in her now.

"Since my father said that it will be handled by Mo Gongzi, then she can make a decision, you go and tell the general, the general will definitely be able to summon it, it really can't work, just bring the army, anyway, there is no war in the desert, and you can't raise them in vain. ”

The princess's words really reminded Vice General Zhao that there are more than 100,000 soldiers in the country of Quicksand, but no one has ever raised troops in the desert, and everyone is poor, so these soldiers have always been raised in vain.

"Yes, the villain immediately informed the general. ”

The river originates from the highest mountain peak on the north side of the basin, the peak is covered with snow all year round, and every July and August, the ice and snow melt more, forming a water flow that should not be underestimated, the water flows downward, and after a long time, it rushes out of a river.

However, as soon as the river left the foothills, it immediately rushed into the sand, flowing in an irregular direction, wasting a lot of precious water resources.

Fuyu wanted to summon people to repair the river, and it was quickly solved by the general.

The people in the royal city also knew about this matter, and from time to time some people would come to the upstream curiously to take a look, but they didn't gain anything from watching it, and they were still curious.
