389 opened the gate and released water
"Master Li, Mrs. Li, they are all ready, every place where the fence is put on the road is guarded, will you start releasing water now?"
The water flow in the canal is almost bottoming out now, after all, the inlet has been blocked, and the water above the outlet level has all flowed away last night.
Lin He looked around, the canal was three feet wide, four feet high, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and the water output would not be small.
However, there are several acres of the whole pond, and if the water is released too quickly, the fence on the road will definitely be washed away.
"Open a small part of the gap first, and you can find a few more people to go along the canals, and there must be two people on each side of the canal, one to hold the fence and one to catch fish and sundries."
"By the way, remember that you must not go down to the canal, and you must use fishing nets to catch fish, if you go into the water, the current is too big, and you will be washed into the river, but you can't save it."
Regardless of whether it can be saved, to put it more seriously, it is much better than someone being careless.
"Okay, Mrs. Li, we got it."
Then the others went downstream, leaving only two people, and used hoes to dig up some of the dirt in this section of the outlet.
In order to stabilize the canal, the canal was dug very wide, and after leaving a certain distance, both sides were built with a one-foot-wide bluestone, and the bottom of the canal was also padded with bluestone slabs.
Such a canal will not be broken if it is used for decades, and the stone cracks can also allow small fish and shrimp to live, which is very useful.
The bluestones on both sides are the fields where pedestrians walk.
At the entrance to the canal, a foot and a half wide of earth was filled, and the outermost part was blocked with stones, and now if you dig up these blocked places, the water will flow down.
When the last hoe was dug up, the long-stored water flowed into the canal instantly, and even the dirt used to block the water on the upper layer was washed away.
"Mrs. Li, will this be directly crushed, then I'm afraid it won't be able to stop it later."
"No, you guys are watching here, and when the water is small, dig some more, and by the way, fish out some lotus leaves, so as not to block the canal."
The pond is full of dried lotus leaves, and some leaves that have been blown by the wind are now gathering quickly in the canal along the current.
There are no fish yet, though.
Also, the fish will not float on the surface of the water, at least halfway through the water before any fish will appear, and more will definitely remain in the mud in the pond.
The fence in the canal is mainly to leave the small fish and shrimp in the canal, nothing more.
The two people who determined the water outlet here understood, Lin He walked downstream, the water flow was very fast, and with just a few words, he saw that several people in front of him were already starting to salvage dead leaves.
The entire canal, which took more than a year and was diverted several times, passed through hundreds of acres of land, and then flowed downstream into the river.
If it weren't for the fact that the mountain was too high, she would have even wanted to draw water to the mountain.
There is no water source on either mountain, and every time the crops are watered, it is more troublesome.
The sound of a flock of sheep came from nearby, and when he turned his head, he saw Liu Qingsong driving the sheep out.
Unlike the empty cattle pen, the flock has grown to nearly 200 heads, and several are sold every month.
At present, Lin He is very satisfied with the number of sheep, mainly because the lawn here is not enough, and there are still more crops to grow grain, and the two hundred heads are already saturated.
The sheep walked along the familiar lawn, followed by a large dog, and the sheepfold was close to the foot of the mountain, but now only half of the mountain was left for cattle and sheep, and the sheep usually drove to the nearby hills.
At this time, the lawn on their own mountain is specially planted with a large amount of grass that they like on the mountain, and every once in a while, they will also be specially watered so that it can grow better.
However, most of the time, they will also drive the goats to other nearby mountains to graze, after all, the pasture also needs to be cultivated and recuperated, and the area where their family specializes in growing pasture grass is not large, only two or three acres.
It is much more convenient to raise cattle, and the cattle can eat more food, fresh corn leaves, sweet potato vines, or straw thatch, some leaves, etc., it is really not good, and sweet potatoes can also be fed to cattle.
And now there are not many cattle at home, how can they be fed well.
Liu Qingsong didn't notice them, and drove the sheep seriously, and now there is no need for someone to guard the sheep, and the big black dog replaces the work of the shepherd dog very well.
Lin He didn't care too much, and the things in the pond were more important at the moment.
Walk quickly to the first fence, in fact, the distance is quite far, a mile or so, there will be a fence.
When Lin He arrived, one of them was holding the fence tightly, and the other was busy scooping up the rotten leaves.
After a while, the rotten lotus leaves in front of the fence were blocked almost a foot away.
"There are too many lotus leaves, when you can't stop it, pick up the fence, put the lotus leaves behind, and then the people behind you will salvage, you keep blocking like this, the water flow is very slow, and there will be more and more lotus leaves."
Hearing this, the man holding the fence hurriedly put the fence back, and when it didn't enter the water, all the lotus leaves were taken away in an instant.
But when he put the fence up, he soon blocked some rotten lotus leaves.
Lin He looked at the surface of the water, feeling that it was a little more turbulent than before, and the water seemed to have become larger.
"Huh? It looks like something has hit the fence. ”
The man holding the fence was suddenly surprised.
"It can't be a fish, right? The fish in this pond have been raised for two or three years, and now I am afraid that it is not small. ”
Lin He also said: "This water is estimated to be left for a while, and after a while, the garbage on the water surface is cleaned up, and you can catch fish. ”
There are a lot of fish in the pond, and when she occasionally goes to the pond, she will also use her spiritual power to warm the ducks and geese on the surface of the water, the lotus leaves in the water, the fish swimming in the water, and the lotus roots and aquatic plants at the bottom of the water.
And it has been more than two years in a row, and she also fished with Li Changhui a few years ago, which is even more delicious than rice field fish!
"Thank you, Mrs. Li!" The two of them were overjoyed, and even their work was a lot more serious.
Lin He looked at it for a while and then continued to walk down, explaining to almost everyone by the fence.
The dead branches and rotten leaves on the surface of the water could not be stopped, so they let go below, as long as the fish were stopped, and the last two finer fences did not fall.
After turning around and returning to the original position, she was surprised to find that the water level had dropped a bit, much faster than she thought.
After thinking about it, too, this canal is very wide, the water level is high at the beginning, the pressure is high, and the speed of opening the gate to release water is naturally relatively fast.
But even so, when the water in the pond is finished, it is estimated that it will be in the afternoon.
Maybe you can even catch the fish before dinner and pull the fish out into the city.
Lin He was thinking so, and the surprise was faster than expected.
