Chapter 217: Flying Sand and Sinking Stones
Lord Liu talked eloquently, talking about how to open the mountain as if he had experienced that period of history.
took Shen Nanxun all the way to the east, walked to an open place where the river intersected and bypassed the artificial river.
There was a bulge in the water that was exposed to the water, and Shen Nanxun couldn't tell if it was the original mountain rock, or if it was pushed up artificially later.
Master Liu introduced with a fluttering eyebrow, "That is the Flying Sand Canal built in the center of our river. ”
Shen Nanxun has never heard of it, most of the dikes he has seen before are built on both sides of the river, and they are constantly heightened and reinforced, so that the dikes burst in the season when the water is abundant.
Mr. Liu talked about how the canal in the center of the river was built with stones, clay, straw and bamboo cages, and said that in the middle of the river, there are also long bamboo cages with stones at the bottom of the river.
Talking about how to let the water flow in the Feisha Canal, so that no matter the flood season, most of the water goes to the mountain col, so as not to cause flooding to the town, and a large amount of water goes to the city during the dry season, so that the town has enough water for irrigation.
He also said how the bamboo cage on the riverbed can let the sediment settle, and when the dry season is released, the sand boat will go down to salvage the sediment.
The more Shen Nanxun listened, the more he admired, and after listening to Lord Liu's introduction, he couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. is talented." ”
Lord Liu waved his hand again and again, "How can such a big project be done by a single official, this folk, there are many experts in water control and embankment repair, the people of Shu have been trapped in floods for many years, the bamboo cage is the people spontaneously go up the mountain to cut bamboo down to weave, and the salvage during the dry season every year is also the people on both sides of the strait regardless of remuneration, rain or shine." ”
Mr. Liu looked at the farmers walking on the embankment with farm tools on their shoulders.
"Poor mountains and bad waters don't come out of the people, they are just too bitter, they also want to live with dignity, as long as there is a little hope of living well, they will do their best to seize it."
It's hard for Shen Nanxun to disagree with this, and it's the same on the battlefield, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, the soldiers will always do their best.
Shen Nanxun couldn't say anything about asking for grain, but as long as he could, farmers who didn't want to put a variety of grain in their hands couldn't let the people go hungry, Shen Nanxun couldn't say this.
A thought flashed through Shen Nanxun's mind so quickly that he barely grasped it.
"In this way, Lord Liu seems to be very knowledgeable about fortifications." Shen Nanxun said.
Lord Liu waved his hand again and again, "I can't call it research, I just read more of the notes of my predecessors." ”
"There has been a lot of rain in Zizhou recently, and the terrain of Zizhou has been flattened for a lot of ......"
"There has never been much precipitation in Zizhou, and there are not too many dikes." Lord Liu immediately answered.
Shen Nanxun frowned, tugging in his heart.
The implication is that once there is too much rain in Zizhou, floods cannot be avoided no matter what, and there will be a major epidemic after the catastrophe.
Shen Nanxun had already quickly thought about how he would make a fuss about a series of things if there was a big epidemic after the floods in Zizhou, give the other party a blow, and buy time for himself.
Can...... Thinking of the innocent people who were hurt and even killed because of this, Shen Nanxun couldn't bear it.
The tugging in his heart made Shen Nanxun not know how to respond to Lord Liu's words for a while.
"Is it too late to repair the embankment?" Shen Nanxun opened his mouth, and his voice was a little rougher.
Lord Liu thought for a while and shook his head, "There is no dam in Zizhou, and repairing the embankment during the flood season is half the effort, so it is better to quickly let the people move to a higher place, and then build rocks and mud bags in a low place to minimize casualties." ”
The prefect of Zizhou has no personal relationship with Shen Nanxun, but he has a lot of contacts with the prefect of Lizhou, and Shen Nanxun, the prefect of Lizhou, is still not familiar with him, but there is a salt and iron transshipment envoy in Lizhou, Lord Xing.
Shen Nanxun thought a lot for a moment, this good deed still has to turn so many hands, it seems that he has to go to Lizhou Mansion to go back.
Walking along the river, the Neijiang River gradually moved away from the mountains and flowed into the open land, although the high embankments were also built, but the cultivated fields on both sides of the embankment can be seen, this place has not been flooded for many years, if it were not so, the cultivated fields would not be so close to the embankment.
Shen Nanxun looked at the mountains in the distance, a little unwilling.
Back in the city, Shen Nanxun still said, "Lord Liu has achieved remarkable results in governing the river, and I admire it." ”
Lord Liu blushed and said, "Don't dare to be." ”
"It's just that there is something I don't understand, and I hope Lord Liu will solve it."
"The lower officials must know everything."
"Chengdu Fulu is mountainous, but there are many people......"
Lord Liu was a little annoyed, "Didn't the prince forget what the official said in the afternoon, the trees on the mountain can't be moved, and the flash flood will kill people." ”
Shen Nanxun motioned to Lord Liu to be calm, "Isn't there a way not to cut down trees?" ”
Lord Liu pondered for a while, "Planting fruit trees? ”
Shen Nanxun didn't expect this, "It's okay." ”
Lord Liu quickly shook his head and denied his thoughts, "Shudi Mountain is mostly a stone mountain, even if it is soil, it is not deep, there are stones underneath, and it is mixed with stones, and it is also very difficult to plant fruit trees." ”
"Can you plant something among the trees?" Shen Nanxun proposed.
Lord Liu silently thought about the crops often planted in Shudi, "No, there is not much sunlight between the trees, but I am afraid that it will be a waste of time to plant it." ”
Shen Nanxun is really unfamiliar with crops, and he can't say why.
"There is a gentleman here who is very familiar with farming, if Lord Liu does not dislike it, let him take a trip, take a look, if you can make the harvest of Shu land another one percent is also a good thing."
Although he knew why Shen Nanxun was so enthusiastic, Lord Liu still couldn't refuse, let alone succeed, as long as he could feed ten or eight more, Lord Liu was willing.
Shen Nanxun chatted with Lord Liu until late at night, and did not rest, but took advantage of the dark night and high wind to leave the city, and by dawn he was almost away from the boundary of Chengdu Fulu.
"Send a letter to Mrs. and ask the Wei family to find a way to set up a line and fund the construction of another courtyard or provide another courtyard."
"The Zhao family is too, providing another courtyard for the show girl to live in, it must be fanfare."
Lu obedient doesn't ask why, he will only follow orders.
Shen Nanxun repaired for a while and continued to Lizhou Road.
And Lu Fenghe is already using the morning food, his throat is basically better, and the bubbles at the corners of his mouth have disappeared, but there are still some imprints.
Lu Fenghe refused when she received the post, and after some persuasion by Zhao, she relented.
That night, Cuizhi took Liu Ye'er to match Lu Fenghe's clothes and makeup for the second day, and Xiangya'er approached Lu Fenghe and said her little discovery.
"The slave maid thinks that this guard should be the son of the world." Xiang Ya'er said.
Lu Fenghe frowned, "Someone wrote to you?" Or have you seen someone? ”
Xiangya'er shook her head, "No, the slave maid saw the post earlier, it is said that the post was written by the second girl of the Wei family, how to say it, the lady's post is slightly different from the post of the wife's wife, Wei Yuanxuan should be the same as the slave maid, both are Ming Wei." ”
Lu Fenghe had never been interested in Shen Nanxun's bright and secret guards, and he was very curious when he heard this.
Xiangya'er picked up some of what she could say and said it to Lu Fenghe.
"Most of the slaves and maids grew up in the northwest, but not all of them are from the northwest, people from all over the world are possible, and there are even foreigners."
For some well-known reasons, stop for three days
