If she might die at any time, Ding Xuewei couldn't tell Old Man Ding.

As for the fact that there are no large numbers of returnees today, she is not surprised.

A large number of victims who were supposed to go to the capital were dispersed, and how many of them finally arrived in the capital did not know, and whether these few percent could attract the attention of the imperial court was a question.

"If you have a good life everywhere, you won't be in a hurry to come back, this will, I'm afraid that the water in Ningxian County hasn't dried up yet!"

"The east of the county is almost there, and the west of the county, the piece of our field, I'm afraid it won't be able to do it." Old man Ding said with certainty.

Ding Xue raised her eyes slightly.

He went to the government today, maybe he got some news.

Sure enough, Old Man Ding got the news.

"Today, Zhang Ye revealed a message to me, saying that the gap in Ning County is not blocked, and after the year, he will recruit labor, dig a canal, and go directly from Ning County to Linhai County."

"You mean? Excavation of aqueducts for drainage? Ding Xue was slightly surprised.

Rather than filling the gap and raising the dam, she has always felt that it is more practical to dig a flood control channel.

This section of Fuzhou and Fengcheng is the lowest reaches of the Jiuqu River, and a large amount of sediment is piled up in the river every year.

Due to the geographical situation of the two provinces, raising the dam is the most wrong way to deal with it.

This kind of practice of constantly raising the dams to make the river water higher than the surrounding geographical location, not to mention in this world of low productivity, lack of production tools, and scarcity of material materials, even in the real world where human and financial resources are quite possible, there is no guarantee that these stacked dams will be 100% strong.

The Jiuqu River has a large flow, and the dam will burst every year, and it will cost the people and money every year.

Not to mention mustering up the energy to directly divert the river, at least dig a flood control canal.

When the water level of the river reaches that level, the excess water is discharged into the flood control canal, or detoured into the sea, or flushed into the lake.

Regardless of whether the water can provide irrigation, at least there will be no more flooding of large areas of fields.

Ding Xuewei can be said to have more knowledge than anyone in this world, but there are some things she doesn't dare to talk about.

The construction of dams is a big project, and the imperial court allocates a lot of money every year for floods.

She who has affected this cake, and even the Ding family, is probably a bedbug in the eyes of many gluttons, and she is not the kind that is unhappy.

"You propose?"

"It's not." Old Man Ding's wise gaze sank slowly: "However, I think it has something to do with what I said. ”

Ding Xuewei: "? ”

Old man Ding took a deep breath: "That day, when I took the stewards to see the waterwheel, I said casually, not to mention that the dam has to be maintained every year and wastes labor, and the safety cannot be guaranteed, the waterhole is different, the water in a pond is almost full, and it is enough to dig the next reservoir quickly." ”

"You mean, the official may have been inspired by your words?" Ding Xue frowned slightly.

Old man Ding looked at her with eyes as deep as a pool.

He was very reluctant to admit that his eldest granddaughter was even well versed in this kind of thing, but the child's frowning brows and worried pupils were telling him that his eldest granddaughter was so smart.

"I didn't think much of it at the time, but I thought it would make your watermill appear naturally, but I didn't want to..."

Old man Ding was a little worried: "Judging from Master Zhang's words today, the official master of this matter is in charge, if there is no accident, my side should not be mentioned." ”

"There have been too many accidents this year, and perhaps, this matter will not be dug deeply." He hoped so.

"I don't think it's appropriate for our family to make any more noise." Ding Xue slightly lowered many thoughts in her heart.

Originally, she wanted to propose to hybridize wild boars, wild asses, make bamboo fiber soft paper, and try to weave brocade silk.

Now it seems that these things have to be pressed.

It's a prescription, it's boiling salt, it's inventing a waterwheel, it's discovering konjac, and a few more peculiar things, it's hard to guarantee that it won't attract the attention of those who have a heart.

"You!" Old man Ding's deep eyes were shocked.

He didn't expect this kid to have an idea.

Ding Xue frowned slightly, showing some apprehension.

Suddenly, Old Man Ding thought of the Li family.

He couldn't have known how Li had asked the child to tell what he had seen and heard from his grandmother.

With a flash of guilt in his heart, he put his hand on the child's thin shoulders.

"You're doing it right, there's something that Grandpa didn't see through." Lee's greed, he found out too late!

Both their grandparents and grandchildren understand the truth of their guilt, but others may not be able to understand it.

When you don't have enough self-protection ability, the best way to protect yourself is to converge the light.

Taking a deep breath, Old Man Ding pulled back his thoughts: "It's good now, you can suppress any strange ideas in the future, either wait until the day when your fifth uncle has the ability, or wait for Anping!" ”

“··· What about the fields over there? Ding Xue changed the topic slightly, and the old man's understanding surprised her and took it for granted.

I didn't know that he could understand it, and he deliberately revealed it.

"Grandpa, the gap will not be blocked, will the villages such as Lijia Village at the mouth of the water have to be relocated?"

With a sentence in his heart, this kid can always grasp the point, and a smile on the corner of Old Man Ding's mouth hooked: "Yes." ”

"What do you say?" Anyway, the family has 100 acres, but I can't do without it.

"Most of the land in the west of the county is still blistered, and it is impossible to plough in spring this year. There are two plans to go back, one is to wait for the autumn to plant winter vegetables, and the other is to move to another town or other county, and if you want to relocate, you can reclaim twice as much new land in the relocated place with the title deed and divide the homestead. ”

After a whole spring and summer, the silted flood water will dry up, and those who want to go home can go back, and then there is no need to worry about the river bursting the embankment.

If you don't want to waste more than half a year's time, or can't afford to waste it, you can choose to migrate.

"One acre of fertile land for two acres of woodland." Old man Ding added.

Ding Xue was slightly surprised: "! ”

There is such a good thing!

The price of fertile land ranges from 10 taels to 13 taels, and the cost of cultivating one acre of forest land is 6 to 7 taels.

The government is absolutely at a loss, and Bai Zizi lost three taels of silver in financial revenue.

"I don't think much will move away." Old man Ding sighed: "There are not many people who can get more than a dozen taels of silver now, and there should not be many big landlords who are in a hurry to sow seeds in spring." ”

"Ugh!" Ding Xue was slightly bright.

The big landlords are not necessarily willing to toss, and the small people have no money.

This incident really just highlights the local officials' heart for the people!

"Our family?" Her own family, her words can't be counted, let alone the people in the west of the county.

At just one glance, Old Man Ding saw her thoughts, but they were just ordinary people.

"At home, I'll handle it after the year, and open it out as soon as possible, everyone is here, and those fields and properties are kept, which will only increase the distress."

A roar every day, begging for tickets, asking for collections...
