Chapter Ninety-Eight: Plans for the Construction of Reservoirs

Qianqiu country does not have this bonding technology, but Zhao Qianqian can do it, in her previous life, she used concrete, and there is no concrete here, but she was a scholar in her previous life, she learned a lot, and she knew a lot about how to use soil methods in addition to concrete.

Zhao Qianqian said: "I have a way, use glutinous rice mortar."

Zhao Qianqian gave Shen Junchen a science popularization on the road, how to make glutinous rice mortar.

Grind the glutinous rice into a glutinous rice paddle, then boil it to a certain concentration, and then stir the slaked lime, sand and cooked glutinous rice paddle in a certain proportion to become a glutinous rice mortar with good adhesion.

Shen Junchen asked, "Does this method work?"

Zhao Qianqian patted his chest: "Don't worry, it will work."

Shen Junchen looked at her steadily, and then a smile appeared.

Zhao Qianqian pretended not to care and walked in front of him with a swagger.

In the previous life, a few friends played well, and they often did this, and here they were conservative, and there was a saying that men and women could not kiss each other.

If someone sees her like this, they may scold her for not keeping women's morals.

The two watched the brick kiln for a while, and Shen Junchen said: "This kiln, not many bricks can be produced at a time, and it will take several days to produce a kiln, at this rate, I am afraid that when it is time to harvest the crops, the warehouse has not been built, it is better to build a few more brick kilns, and when the warehouse is built, the brick kiln will be filled with crops."

Zhao Qianqian gave a thumbs up: "Smart!"

This plan is also a good way, Zhao Qianqian's original plan was to let Ling Feng build five kilns, and now Ling Feng built two and sent the old man and them back, fortunately, these people have learned the construction of brick kilns.

It is expected that Ling Feng should be back in the last two days, so he plans to be here first, and then make arrangements when Ling Feng comes.

Zhao Qianqian took Shen Junchen and found Erhu in the eighth village, and he was ramming the wall with everyone.

Erhu didn't know Shen Junchen, he saw Zhao Qianqian from a distance, handed the pestle stick in his hand to a strong man, and went down the wall.

"Sister, why did you come here today, is there something wrong?"

Zhao Qianqian introduced the two of them.

Zhao Qianqian asked, "Erhu, how are the crops growing?"

Erhu said: "The wasteland has been opened, wheat and rapeseed have been planted, only peas and broad beans need to be planted on the edges, and twenty people can be left, and the others can be pulled out to do other things."

Erhu has mastered the construction of earth rammed walls, and in the process of construction, he has also made some improvements, the speed has increased a lot, and the quality of the houses built remains unchanged.

Twelve villages are expected to be completed in half a month.

There are six village houses in front that have been built, and people have been arranged to deal with the ground, stove houses, and some more furniture to move in.

..

In the next few days, Zhao Qianqian and Shen Junchen were at more than a dozen construction sites outside the cottage.

Zhao Qianqian gave him the warehouse building drawing, and then inspected every place where the warehouse was to be built.

This world is not peaceful, if you want to live steadily, you still have to build a wall, and you have to build it very firmly, and you need to set up a watchtower, a beacon tower, an attack and defense platform on the wall, etc.

After walking through the twelve villages, Zhao Qianqian asked, "How is it?" Is there any difficulty? Is it worth building twelve warehouses and walls in exchange for my artillery?"

Shen Junchen smiled silently, can he say that it is not cost-effective? That military artillery can make Qianqiu Country famous, and twelve villages, even one hundred and twenty is not enough.

She is so clever that she will not know, it is clear that she is helping him, asking him to help build a warehouse, and giving him a step, on the surface he doesn't owe her anything, but how can he not know.

She helped him a few times, the first time she helped him recover the official silver, taught him to make a musket, and saved him once.

She has abilities and courage that don't match her age.

"Thank you!" Shen Junchen took her hand.

Zhao Qianqian was stunned: "No thanks, I didn't give it to you for nothing, it's not a trivial matter to build twelve warehouses, I will have to accept it when the time comes, my requirements are very good,

You'll have to be careful."

On a sunny afternoon, a long line came to the brick kiln base of the cottage.

Zhao Qianqian happily pulled Shen Junchen: "Look, it's Ling Feng who led people over."

The two soon came to the brick kiln base, and Ling Feng greeted them when he saw them.

"Sister, you see I brought another hundred and fifty people." Ling Feng pointed to the person sitting on the ground behind him.

Zhao Qianqian asked, "How many people are left in Qingyun City? Are there any carpenters among the people you have brought?"

Ling Feng snapped his fingers and calculated: "There are forty people left on the brick kiln in Qingyun City, another forty people remove the grass in the fields on the four mountains of Qingyun, twenty people inspect and repair the ditches, and twenty people are digging the ditches for breeding earthworms, and the rest are the people in the shops, there are one hundred and fifty or six left, knowing that you want carpentry, I specially selected ten carpenters to come."

Ling Feng turned around and called a few names as he spoke, two of them were the little gangsters under Qin Feng at the beginning, the apprentices that Zhao Qianqian arranged to study in Qingyunzhai can now do some simple things.

Zhao Qianqian asked, "Have you ever made a keel waterwheel?"

"I did."

"We've done it too."

Five young men replied.

Zhao Qianqian nodded: "Very good, Ling Feng arranged for someone to cut down trees and come back, they have ten people who can carpenter, you send some more people to them, let them make keel waterwheels, how many keel waterwheels to do, you can discuss with Erhu."

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and this two tigers are coming.

"Brother Huzi, how did you know I was looking for you?" Ling Feng said with a smile.

Erhu said: "I built a house on it, and I saw a team of people coming down the mountain, and I wanted to come and have a look, but I didn't expect you to bring someone over."

Ling Feng and Erhu have a two-year age difference, and the two get along very well and cooperate very well.

Ling Feng said, "I'm looking for you for something, how many waterwheels do you need for irrigation on the mountain? I'll do it for you in the quantity you need."

Erhu said, "I was about to tell my sister about the mountains and waters."

Erhu turned to Zhao Qianqian and said, "Sister, just now a few people who grow peas and broad beans came to report to me, saying that they found water coming out of a few fields, and the wheat in those fields was soaked, so I went to take a look, and there are springs in those places, because there is no water ditch, so the wheat in the fields near the springs has been soaked, and the water needs to be drained and replanted."

When Erhu said this, his face was full of sadness.

Ling Feng also frowned: "It's troublesome to replant, even if you plant again, it will also be soaked and damaged, and there are crops planted around it, and if you build a ditch, you will trample on a lot of crops."

Zhao Qianqian was very excited: "With such a good thing, how many things will be saved, so what are you waiting for? Take us to see it."

Zhao Qianqian said, "Didn't you find it when you opened up the wasteland?"

If you find out that there is spring water early, you will save a lot of trouble, and you can build terraced fields and make rice like the surrounding areas of Qingyun City.

Erhu said: "I asked, there was a discovery when the wasteland was cleared, everyone only dug a small well where there was a spring water flowing out, but I didn't expect that now it is full of a few pieces of land."

It's no wonder that everyone didn't pay attention to this, because there are many people, and they can do things quickly, even open and plant, and they have to get out dozens of acres of land a day.

So it's not the season of summer water, and the water doesn't flow out so much, and everyone doesn't think about it that much.

Zhao Qianqian asked, "How many springs have been found on this mountain?"

Erhu thought for a moment and said, "Seven places, five of which are on the edge of the village."

It seems that he has really found a few feng shui treasures, and Zhao Qianqian is on top of the village according to the location pointed out by the two tigers, which solves the problem of water sources in the village.

Five of the seven water sources are high points, so that only the ditches in the ground and the keel waterwheel are added for irrigation, which greatly reduces the demand for the keel waterwheel.

Zhao Qianqian had a new idea for these springs, and immediately called several people together and drew her idea on the ground, which everyone agreed with very much.

Zhao Qianqian re-planned the work, each place was divided into people to manage, and if the progress was slow, it would be adjusted later, but the construction of warehouses and walls was not sloppy, and Shen Junchen needed to supervise the implementation.

Ling Feng said, "Sister, then what should we do next?"

Erhu continued, "Yes, it seems like a lot of things, what should we do first?"

Zhao Qianqian said: "You will continue to do the work in hand now, I will make a plan here first, and I will notify you when I am done." Z.br>

Then he turned his head to Shen Junchen and said, "Brother Shen needs to transfer the supervisors as soon as possible, and you need to supervise the construction of reservoirs, warehouses, and fences."

Shen Junchen was a little unhappy by her call of Brother Shen, glanced at her resentfully, and smiled sweetly at her, and suddenly felt a lot better.

He said lightly, "I'll go back to Qingyun City tomorrow and arrange things as soon as possible."

Leng Yu only brought a hundred people over, and some of them were in the cottage, and the people in the cottage couldn't move for the time being.

The people who stayed in Qingyun City were all involved in the construction of the river embankment, and as for how much it could be transferred, it had to be determined according to the actual situation.

In the evening, back in the courtyard, Zhao Qianqian plunged into the room to make plans.

She has to draw the structure of the construction of reservoirs and drinking water pools, as well as the direction of the canals in the ground, and also draw them, as long as the work plan is made, the rest of the work can be handed over to the corresponding people to do, and she does not have to do everything herself.

The mountain wind was blowing at night, and Xing'er intimately prepared a charcoal stove for her, as well as a hand warmer, but she didn't feel too cold.

Zhao Qianqian had just printed out the drawings and plans and was sorting them out, when Xing'er sent ginseng soup: "Miss, staying up late hurts your body, the slave maid will boil you some ginseng soup, you drink it and rest early."

Zhao Qianqian put down the drawings in his hand: "Okay, put it here, you go to sleep."

Xing'er is a child after all, her eyelids have already been fighting, put down the bowl, yawned and walked out, and did not forget to instruct: "Miss, you put the bowl on the table, I will clean it up later."

Zhao Qianqian glanced at the computer time, twenty-two o'clock in the evening.

She took the ginseng soup to her mouth, and suddenly thought of something, picked up the bowl and got up and walked out of the room.

She came to the outside of Shen Junchen's room, and the light inside was still on.

She knocked lightly on the door, "Who?" asked Shen Junchen.

Zhao Qianqian: "It's me."

The door opened, Shen Junchen was dressed in green clothes, and Zhao Qianqian raised his eyebrows: "You want to go out?"

"It's not."

"Oh." Zhao Qianqian nodded, she is a smart woman, if others don't say it, she will pretend to be confused.

"Ginseng soup boiled by apricots, you can drink it while it's hot."

Zhao Qianqian put the ginseng soup on the table: "It's not early, you rest early."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house.

Xing'er sent ginseng soup and was so sleepy that she said that she would come to collect the bowl in a while, the lights in the room were turned off, and the courtyard was quiet.

In Wang Biao's courtyard, the second master entered the courtyard on time, and after he entered the secret room, a man in black walked out of the corner, looked around, and jumped onto the wall.

The man in black stood on the wall for a moment, as if he had noticed something, leaned slightly sideways, and then jumped off the wall, dodged, and disappeared.

A small figure crept out from behind the pillar, looked around, and saw no one. Muttered, "Running so fast? It's rare that you haven't found anything?"

I wanted to follow along, but I still didn't find anything.

She suddenly turned around, and a dark figure stood in front of her, and she exclaimed in fright, "You! You ......."
