Sending people away, Yun Sheng looked at the distance and was a little worried, the problem of the waterway is also a problem that Mo Xuan has always wanted to solve.

During the flood discharge, the two studied the route of the waterway, hoping that with the help of the mountains, the waterway could be opened more smoothly.

But how can it be that easy? The waterway is to be traveled, but not the small bamboo raft can be transported by water, to consider the depth of the water level, if the mountains are too shallow, it must be dug.

Fortunately, Mo Xuan at this time was quite prestigious in the world, and there were people supporting him for everything, and the silver taels were almost used up, and the dividends sent by the Li family were enough for a while.

Mo Xuan, on the other hand, was arguing over the diversion of the waterway.

In ancient times, there were no large-scale explosives, and it was difficult to move the earth and rocks by manpower.

In the past, only two floods were discharged, and the problem of draft water in the village was solved, and potatoes have been planted in full swing.

Now it is time to solve the problem of waterways, and the best way for them to do this is to connect the waterways with the big rivers, all the way to be able to sail, and many places to excavate.

It is also necessary to have skill in discharging the water, to direct the water to the place of the waterway, and the waterway must be able to hold the water, and it must be wide enough.

Mo Xuan sent people to explore for a long time, and brought local people who were familiar with the terrain and soil to follow, and studied together, whether to dig deep or detour.

The question is whether to take a detour.

The soil of this mountain road is relatively sent, and it is suspected that the underground dark river flows, if it is not good, the dark river is opened, and the water flow may be cut off here.

After a period of wind and sun, Mo Xuan's body became gray and even unshaven.

The people around him chattered and discussed, Mo Xuan has an easy-going personality and likes everyone to talk freely, so everyone is never restrained.

"Why don't we take a detour, what if we dig it up and connect to the underground river? The water would go into the underground river, and all the efforts would be in vain. ”

"Detour? Where to go around? What should we do with the extra routes? How long will it take? ”

"Then what if you don't say you don't take a detour?"

"How do I know?"

Arguments went on and on, but there was no result at all, Mo Xuan looked at the mountain road in front of him, and said that the mountain road was actually a valley, and the depth was enough, but it was not blocked.

Mo Xuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "In this way, let's fill in the valley with the mountain soil on both sides, raise the two sides, and flow out of the middle of the road that can be navigated by boat." ”

A group of people looked at each other in amazement, and everyone had been digging pits and building embankments between the two mountains to stop the water from spreading.

Is it really feasible to fill in the valley?

Seeing a group of people hesitating and not speaking, Mo Xuan relaxed at this time, "Tell me, what do you think?" ”

"My lord, are you really right? Is it possible to rely on human power alone? ”

"Yes, my lord, we have limited manpower and no large tools."

Mo Xuan smiled confidently, "Let's plug this opening first, and then discharge the flood first, so that the water can flow here, won't it form a waterway?" When the time comes, we will ship the tools, and we will not be afraid. ”

Everyone looked at each other, obviously thinking that it was not very reliable, but there was nothing to refute.

Zero One is the most straightforward, step forward and give up.

"My lord, how many places will the flood be discharged first?"

In order to open the waterway, a total of five flood discharge points flowed down, and the water flow was turbulent, and the water level and depth were high.

"There are two places to discharge the flood first, and the two places are ......"

Watching Zero One leave with people, Mo Xuan led people to block the exit first, and then filled the valley with soil.

Lixian County has a special geographical location, located in a plain between the plains, and came here in order to escape the war in the previous years.

It is surrounded by mountains, the mountain roads are rugged, and there are few rivers going inland.

And on the outside, there are also mountains, but there is a very large river beyond the mountains, as long as it is connected.

In addition to natural disasters, another reason for the annual floods is that there is a plateau in the distance of one side of the mountain, and the water of the plateau will flow down through the mountains and inundate the villages around Lixian.

What they have to do now is to connect the waterways with water from the plateau, so that it will not be so difficult for people to enter and exit.

No matter how to borrow the terrain, it is just starting now, and it will take at least a few months to dig it all.

They had to store as much water as possible before the flood came, and this flood discharge was also a difficult river embankment.

Fortunately, now it's all together.

Mo Xuan sent people to observe the flood situation at the location of the plateau from time to time, and even deliberately guided him into some predetermined river embankments to be used as reserve water.

The county master is not at home every day, and his career is booming, and the master of Lixian County can't sit still.

He has to do something about it, or his status is getting lower and lower.

Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he was ready to open a warehouse to release grain and distribute the previous disaster relief grain.

In the surrounding location of Lixian County, a soup kitchen was made, an announcement was posted early, and the cooks were also fully prepared and boiled a lot of porridge.

When the news spread to other villages, some people did come here, after all, who doesn't want free food?

In the first two days, there were a lot of people, and the master personally inspected and nodded with satisfaction, but unfortunately, there were fewer and fewer people later, and only a few old people and children remained.

Master's warm expression cracked, and he grabbed Zhang Chao's collar and yelled, "What's the matter? What about people? Yes? ”

Zhang Chao lowered his head, and he didn't dare to look at his face.

"Master, I've inquired, and people say that Shi's porridge can't be eaten at all, the clear soup is low in water, and there are not even a few grains of rice, so it's better not to come after a toss."

The master's face became even more hideous, "Sluts, a group of sluts, weren't they all like this before?" ”

Zhang Chao pursed his lips and said nothing, now that there is a waterwheel, which can lead water uphill, the seeds have been distributed, and they have already started planting.

Because of the flood discharge, there are a lot of fish in the river, and everyone endures it and passes, after all, people now have hope, and it is close at hand.

Zhang Chao rolled his eyes, "Master, I heard that there have been floods recently, doesn't the county magistrate like to build waterways?" When the time comes, let him be unaware......"

As he spoke, he made a motion to wipe his neck.

"Won't the credit for this splash be yours then?"

The master smiled a little when he heard this, sat on the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was still the hysteria just now.

"Chao'er deserves to be my right-hand man, yes, yes, this matter will be handed over to you!"

"It's done, and there are many rewards."

"Yes, master!"

Zhang Chao showed an excited expression, seeing that the master didn't want to say anything more, he quickly withdrew and closed the door.

There was a cold smile on the corner of the master's mouth, "Hehe, no matter how hard you work, these things will be mine when the time comes, what's the use of you dying?" I'll take over your wife and children then!" ”

The master had a perverted smile on his face, he actually had the biggest sore point, that is, he couldn't do it, and he couldn't have children for the rest of his life.

Tsk, if you raise the enemy's children, heh, it seems to be fun. (End of chapter)
