Chapter 77 Grant Application
Zhou Yunyi walked around the village and saw that there were many old people in the village, if they moved, it might not be as convenient as the young people to shake, but if it was about the number of people, the number of people in Dongxiangzhuang would indeed be much smaller than the number of people in Xixiangzhuang. It will be easier and more convenient to set up.
Zhou Yunyi can be regarded as having a difficult time, and he doesn't know which place to choose as the drainage point for flood discharge.
"Let's go to the west again!" Zhou Yunyi took a group of people to Xixiangzhuang again.
The location of Xixiangzhuang is more remote than that of Dongxiang, and the number of young people here is much higher than that of Xinxiang, most of whom live here and make a living from the silkworm weaving industry.
After inspecting two places, Zhou Yunyi finally decided to use Dongxiangzhuang as a flood discharge site for the lake, after all, there is only farmland there, and if it is turned into a flood discharge point, the farmland will be flooded.
However, on the side of Xixiangzhuang, every household is still raising silkworms, and there are many mulberry trees, if the flood discharge point is arranged in Xixiang, it will not only not destroy the farmland, but also destroy the mulberry trees planted by the villagers on a large scale.
Zhou Yunyi made up his mind and said: "Master Sun, I have already decided, it is more appropriate to arrange the location of the flood discharge in Dongxiangzhuang. ”
"Since Lord Yushi has made a decision, Xiaguan is naturally not good, if you say anything more, I will immediately send someone to tell the villagers of Dongxiangzhuang and ask them to pack up their things and prepare to move." Master Sun arched his hand and immediately sent his men to inform the villagers.
Although the site of the flood discharge was surveyed, the matter was far from over, and Zhou Yunyi had to immediately go to find a place to build a levee to prevent another large-scale flood that would destroy the crops in the future.
Master Sun, because he wanted to organize the evacuation of the villagers, was left in the eastern village, and only Zhou Yunyi, Situ Rou and Wang Shi were left to continue to look for a place to build the embankment.
The three of them walked in the direction of the upper reaches of the river, but because the mountain road was difficult to climb, and the heavy rain caused a certain degree of mudslides and landslides, so on many gravel roads, the few of them walked very slowly.
Zhou Yunyi's sweat couldn't stop flowing halfway through, it stands to reason that it is autumn now, and the weather is not too hot, but the vigorous mountain climbing exercise has consumed a lot of his physical strength.
"Why don't we get some rest?" Situ Rou saw that Zhou Yunyi was physically exhausted and proposed to let everyone take a rest together. "There are so many gravel here, if you want to climb up, you can't do it for a while, I'm afraid you will have to climb for another hour."
"It's fine." Zhou Yunyi looked up at the uphill and couldn't see the end, and she did feel the lack of physical strength now, if she continued to hold on, I was afraid that she would faint. In that case, it will be even more delayed.
Wang Shi hurriedly took out the small kettle he carried with him to replenish Zhou Yunyi's water, after a lot of sweating, if he couldn't replenish water in time, his body would be violently dehydrated.
Zhou Yunyi drank 1/3 of the small kettle with a bang, she really needs to replenish water very much now, but she doesn't dare to replenish too much at one time.
"Queen Mother, if it doesn't work, let one of your subordinates go and let General Situ accompany you here." Wang Shi also looked at Zhou Yunyi a little unbearable, obviously she was a pampered mother, and now she had to run to this ravine and ravine for the people to endure hardships. It's not easy.
"No, you don't know anything about water conservancy projects. Even if you run to the top, you can only look down, and the rushing water is just a rush, and nothing else can be found. Zhou Yunyi said, "I still have to go in person." ”
After a short rest, Zhou Yunyi immediately recovered his fighting spirit, continued to walk up, and after a long journey of unknown time, several people finally came to the place with the best scenery and the broadest field of vision above.
If the dam is built downstream, according to the size of the water flow and the urgency of the water flow, they all choose to use granite as the base, so that the blocking effect on the water flow can be increased, and at the same time, the thickness should also reach a certain level, too thin will be directly broken by the water, resulting in the bursting of the embankment. Therefore, all projects must be calculated and arranged in detail.
Zhou Yun chose and finally chose a sword spirit in one location, where it can not only save some materials but also resist the water flow well, which is simply the best place.
Zhou Yunyi took out the half-drawn design drawing from her arms, and then took out a simple crayon to paint, this crayon was made by randomly finding some beeswax mixed with lipstick that day, in fact, it can't be called a crayon, it is a simple little lipstick, so that it can be well marked on it, and then draw a complete embankment on it, and then add a rough estimate of the speed of the water flow to start building the embankment.
The three of them thought that they could now go back and prepare the materials for the construction of the embankment, but when they went to the next step, a few people unexpectedly returned the same way, and as soon as they walked to the vicinity of the eastern village, they saw many elderly villagers crying and reluctant to leave.
Each of them farmed here for a living, so the family's one-third of an acre of land was especially important to them, and when they heard that the flood was going to flood all their houses and fields, they felt that their property had been violated, so they cried and cried and never left.
Master Sun's attitude towards the noise of these villagers is laissez-faire, and at most he pretends to say a few words.
"Don't make any more trouble, I know it's a little difficult for you to accept, but after all, this is an order from Lord Yushi, and I can't help it." Lord Sun, these few sentences have cleaned up his own affairs, and there is nothing to be done, there is no way.
The villagers are also not very smart, and as soon as they heard that it was Lord Goshi who was going to flood all their farmland, they immediately felt disgusted with this so-called Lord Goshi.
"Why just mess with our village?" A villager in his 50s shouted.
Others also chimed in: "That's it, they should be made Nanxiangzhuang!" ”
"Anyway, you can't use our village."
"That's it!"
The villagers gathered to talk one after another, and it was impossible to hear who was talking, anyway, it was noisy now, and everyone was very unconvinced by this decision.
Zhou Yunyi passed by in Dongxiangzhuang, originally going back to continue to refine the drawings and then hand them over to the craftsmen for construction, but when he heard the noise here, he couldn't help but come over.
"Mishi-sama!" As soon as Master Sun saw Zhou Yunyi, he immediately called out.
The eyes of all the villagers also focused on Zhou Yunyi. They all looked at Zhou Yunyi with resentment in their eyes, as if all the misfortunes on them were caused by Zhou Yunyi.
Zhou Yunyi noticed the unkind gaze of the villagers, but still asked Master Sun as usual. "Lord Sun, what's the matter here?"
"That's right, Lord Goshi, these villagers are a little reluctant to use their villages as flood discharge sites."
"I know that turning your hometown into a backwater pool is a very heart-wrenching thing for everyone, but if no one is willing to make sacrifices, then the entire Xiangzhou City will be plagued by floods, and your hometown will not be spared." Zhou Yunyi tried to reason with these villagers.
"It's easy to say, why we make sacrifices."
"Yes, yes, why did I make the sacrifice!"
"Why!"
Zhou Yunyi's great truth, just halfway through the lecture, he heard the collective opposition of the villagers, at first it was still quiet, but later it began to get louder and louder.
When Zhou Yunyi saw this scene, she couldn't help frowning, she was really a group of people, and she couldn't be reasonable.
"Please rest assured, villagers, I know these fields. Real estate is a lifetime savings for you, I will not let the flood destroy your homes in vain, every family, every household, the imperial court will give corresponding subsidies. ”
Zhou Yunyi knows that since ancient times, money can make ghosts grind, let alone people? As long as the subsidy is sufficient, she believes that the villagers will be willing to move out.
Hearing that there was money to be taken, the villagers seemed to be quiet a little, and then began to whisper to their family and friends, discussing how much money they could get, and finally one of them asked, "How much can we get?" ”
Zhou Yunyi said: "According to the property of each of your households, the land property will be valued, and then the gold coin subsidy will be received at the same price. ”
"In addition, because what you have done is a great good deed and a thing that is beneficial to the people of the entire Xiangzhou City, the imperial court will also issue additional rewards."
Zhou Yunyi put forward a rather tempting condition, gold coins must be known to know that in that era, poor families may not see anything made of gold in their lifetime, even if they get all their net worth into it, it may not be worth a certain amount of gold.
What's more, they can also get an additional bonus in addition to the equivalent value of their family property, which is relatively a lot of money.
Everyone seemed to be satisfied, so they stopped making noise, but stood aside in a proper manner and waited for Zhou Yunyi to continue to speak.
"Everyone, the time is tight and the task is heavy, I hope you can move out of here in the shortest possible time, in line with the policy of the imperial court." Zhou Yunyi said.
"I will send someone to complete the assessment of all of your assets in two days and register them for the remaining third day, and I want all of you to move out before dark on the third day."
The villagers stopped talking, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
Master Sun said in a small voice: "Your Excellency has promised the villagers so much money, but now that the finances of Xiangzhou City are empty, I am afraid it will be difficult to support your promise." ”
Situ Rou glared at Master Sun viciously. This is obviously demolishing Zhou Yunyi's platform, it seems that Zhou Yunyi's previous guess was right, this Lord Sun is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Zhou Yunyi continued to say neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This official will naturally ask the imperial court for appropriation. ”
"So please rest assured that all the money will never be less, not a penny."
After settling the affairs of the villagers, they finally got into the carriage back.
"You're right in your suspicions." Situ Rou leaned on the carriage and said, "He does have some unknown thoughts. ”
