The matter of raising military rations still has to wait for my father to leave, and it is difficult to do things with a prince on his head, so what if those old nobles run to cry and my father is soft-hearted? Fortunately, my father will leave tomorrow, and he will leave in the morning and start in the evening.

Let's do something else today, those mummies have to be put to good use, God punishes the mummies, don't toss them, can't help them wash away their sinful souls!

Menes had thought that the swamp needed to be developed as soon as possible, and it was the dry season, and if we didn't do it now, we wouldn't be able to start work as soon as the flood came, and if it dragged on, it would have to be next year.

Then there will still be a problem with food next year, and this land will be developed to feed the army.

There is no conflict between military training and farmland development.

To drain the swamp, first build a dam to cut the swamp from the water source, and then drain it or simply wait for the sun god to evaporate the swamp.

This swampy lake is a mesa on three sides, only the east side is connected to the Nunn River, forming a shallow bay lake, and the water level of the entire swamp can be as high as about 10 meters during the flood season, but because of the mesa barrier, the area does not change much, and the place is completely turned into a lake.

It is now the dry season, the water in the entire swamp area, the deepest is only 1-2 meters, most places are only a few tens of centimeters deep, there are a large number of fish, shrimp, reeds, crocodiles, hippos in and out of the river, and it is also a paradise for many aquatic animals and birds.

In this kind of place where there are few people and many animals, there is no environmental protection, and draining the swamp can also obtain a lot of food, which can also be regarded as a side business.

There is a natural pit behind the rock terrace in the south, which can be used as a reservoir to store water, as long as the rock platform is chiseled, the water can be diverted into the deep pit to drain the swamp, and when the flood comes, it can also divert part of the flood water into the reservoir, and when the flood water recedes, the swamp can be cultivated, and the water from the reservoir can also irrigate the farmland.

In the future, if the good water quantity can be controlled and two crops can be achieved in a year, then this land will be very valuable.

The rocks used to dig the aqueduct are used to build a dam that doesn't need to be very high, just to separate the river from the swamp during the dry season.

The amount of work is not too large, and whether it can be completed before the flood mainly depends on how much labor can be used.

The most important thing is how powerful is the divine punishment of mummies?

Menes numbered the nine mummy of the Divine Punishment so that it was easy to call.

That is, the work number: M001 to M009, M is the beginning of Menes pinyin capitalization, the number retains room for development, who doesn't want to be bigger?

Menes first tested the strength, M001-M009 lifted weights in turn, carrying large stones, of which M007 had the greatest strength, lifting nearly 500 kilograms of stones with both hands, and the lowest value was 300 kilograms.

Secondly, test the ability to pick the sledgehammer, this mainly depends on the speed of the hammer, M003 is the fastest, about 1 minute to pick the sledgehammer more than 200 times, the least is more than 100 times.

Tested the writing speed again, Menes wanted to see if the codeword speed could surpass the eagle?

I am disappointed, the mummy's writing speed is the same as ordinary people, their hand speed is mainly reflected in the small arm and large arm, do some reciprocating motion and rotation movement very quickly, but the writing that relies on the wrist and fingers is not good, mainly because the fine movements of the fingers can not reach high speed.

The last test of endurance was the sledgehammer, the guys worked from morning to noon without rest, and still managed to maintain their speed, Menes did not have the patience to wait any longer and returned, leaving the mummy of Divine Punishment to crush stones at the construction site, ready to open a waterway out.

Judging from the performance of the mummy, it should be possible to complete the project before the flood if there is some assistance from migrant workers.

Mummies are stupid, so they need to be guided and directed by craftsmen on site in order to play a good role.

The first step in digging a waterway is to open a mountain, Menes had no gunpowder, so he had to use the soil method to find a weak point in the surface of the rock, dig a crack, and then drive the dry wooden wedge into the gap, and finally water the wooden wedge, the wooden wedge can burst the rock after it expands when it encounters water.

The craftsman is responsible for marking the place where the crack is cut in the rock, the mummy knocks the crack, and then the migrant worker puts down the wooden wedge, hammers it in, pours water on it, and waits for the crack to open.

The second step was the transport of rocks, which Menes planned to transport to the banks of the river, where they would be able to build a simple levee to direct the flow of the floodwaters.

Build a road on the terrace and along the riverbank, place large boulders in a skid, make some pulley sets to make it easier, and finally use the brute force of the mummy to pull the large boulders to the river.

Craftsmen and folk husbands mainly do some fine work and command work, if properly arranged, the mummy can work all day long, basically a mummy can top 30 workers.

Menes told Jett about the plan, hoping that Jett would help recruit craftsmen and men to carry out the construction.

Jett heard Menes' plan and looked at Menes in surprise, thinking that Menes was probably crazy, the performance of the past few days was completely different from the past, and now it is even crazier.

"Dear Lord Menes, I think your idea is good, but it is completely unrealistic, the rock terrace is unusually hard and very difficult to excavate, and it is impossible to complete it with our strength, and if you do want to do it, you will have to wait until after the end of the flood season this year, and it is too late to start work now. Jett said solemnly.

"But I have a divine punishment for mummies!" Menes replied.

"I don't think it's possible even if there are divine punishment mummies, after all, there are only nine of you, and the divine punishment mummies are relatively stupid, and they can't do a lot of things. Jett continued to dissuade.

"This is what you think, Lord Jet, I have a way to get it done, the power of the divine punishment mummy is greater than you think, and you just need to help me recruit some craftsmen and people. Menes said firmly.

This makes Jett very embarrassed, has this boy made a mistake again? Now is the time of poverty, and you are still working here to waste money and money?

But it's not good not to agree, the old lord has already made it clear that he wants Jett to assist Menes, and he will oppose it when he comes up, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to cooperate in the future.

Jett hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, the harvest season is about to begin, there is really no extra manpower, I can only give you ten craftsmen, Minfu will give you a hundred people a day, and when the harvest season officially begins, I can only give you ten people a day." ”

Jett really couldn't give enough manpower, and he also wanted Menes to retreat, but he didn't expect Menes to have so many people at all, and when he heard Jett say this, he was happy to hear Jet say this, and immediately agreed, just asking for five stonemasons, and the other five for carpenters.

The words have been spoken, and Jett can't break his promise, so he can only arrange it quickly.

At the end of his life, Jett said, "Lord Menes, we don't have any money now, you remember to make a good account of the remuneration of these workers!"

Menes smiled and shrugged her shoulders to indicate that there was no problem.
