The second year after the reconstruction of Hancheng, Chen nianran felt that the climate here was getting drier and colder.
In total, it hasn't rained for nearly half a year this winter. If it goes on like this, what should we do in spring?
Because of this, Chen nianran has been running around the countryside since he woke up.
"We should build a reservoir to store water, and ensure that crops can use water during the dry season. Otherwise, we can't live on the weather. "
The terrain of the cold city is mostly slightly high, and the water flows downward. So they all depend on the sky.
Once upon a time, this cold city area relied on the sky for food.
Now, after two years with his master, Chen nianran feels more and more that the reservoir in Hancheng is necessary.
"Reservoir construction, this can be seen by special water conservancy and sandstorm personnel. Is there such a person in our city? "
Building a reservoir is not just about building one.
We have to look at the terrain, then determine the terrain, and the surrounding environmental conditions and so on.
When the water rises, will the water in the reservoir spread out, submerge the mountain villa below, and the place where the reservoir is built, and will the original water source be lost
All problems are destined to be of great importance.
"Why, young grandma, when we came here, we didn't find the stone master and some other capable and righteous people. Although we are just listening, no one is invited. I remember that when I was inquiring, I once heard about some Fengshui Taoists, some people who specially watch Fengshui. Little grandma, this time out of the caravan, you can ask someone to come. They can also be called to our cold city. There are not a few people who want to live in our cold city now. Perhaps, Zhang Fengshui would also like to come here! "
"Zhang fengsha, ah, I remember. When we came here from the seaside, we really heard about Zhang Fengshui in Zhang village. It's said that this man has a good idea of fengshui, land selection, house building and so on. I can't imagine that I need this talent in cold city. This event fully shows that talents are not limited to the situation. "
Chen nianran slowly recalled and remembered. In those days, a group of people stopped in the village.
It's just that there's a wedding party in the village.
There is an old man in a strange hat among the people sitting on the top. At that time, a lot of people paid more attention to him. Chen nianran also went to inquire. At that time, the fish went to inquire. Afterwards, I heard the legend of the man. Anyway, he seems to be an able man in Fengshui.
In this matter, there are businessmen from Hancheng to negotiate.
To build a reservoir, we have to consult with the villagers.
Fortunately, every time Chen nianran and his party come to a village, they will be accompanied by the village leader and a group of old people in the village.
First, it is convenient to discuss agriculture. Second, every village feels that this is the way to treat guests. After all, it was the Lord himself who came down. Master is also a man of fame.
When this day came to tiansanwa village, Chen nianran began to ask about the water source of the village after discussing some affairs of the village.
"Well, this year's weather It's not very good. "
Lao Qi sighed at the beginning.
Several other old people also followed suit.
They are all people who have lived a long time. They are not only experienced, but also have seen more.
"It was very cold in our city last year. So far, it hasn't rained all winter. Now it's almost the planting season. At present, as long as there is a rain, it can still be planted. But the fear is that, after planting, there is no water in the end. "
Robbing water is a terrible thing.
In order to pour concrete, the villagers will travel for several days.
Chen nianran looked at this group of people frowning and asked in confusion. "If we build a reservoir, can't we solve the problem of water storage? As long as every village builds a reservoir, when the weather is dry, it can also guarantee the whole village's water supply. In case of a severe drought, maybe the reservoir can solve the survival crisis of the whole village. Why don't the villagers want to do such a simple thing? "
In Chen nianran's view, this is a very simple thing.
But as soon as the problem is solved. The old people all looked at her stupidly.
Chapter 85: water conservancy construction
"to build a reservoir, if it is smaller, the villagers will dig it. But if it's big, who will dig it? What's more, the villagers also work hard at ordinary times. There are strong laborers in the village who go out to earn money to support their families. Just some old people and children, where can we dig a reservoir. That is to say, in the past two years, when the Lord of the city called for the transformation of the cold city, all the people in the village stayed at home. Let it go, alas, without labor. "
"Of course, I didn't expect it to be true. After all, small reservoirs are useless. If we want to build them, we have to build large ones. Such a big reservoir, no individual lead, the general people will not dig at all
In fact, it's because there's no money. When Chen nianran understood this, he put forward his future outlook.
"After my careful investigation, our land needs to be further improved in order to have a good income in the next few years. If you want to improve the current land conditions, you have to throw some more high-quality mud on it. So I think we can use the mud to improve the soil while digging the reservoir. Try to build the reservoir and improve the soil at the same time. After all, our previous retting improvement plan is only a simple improvement. "
"The essential source of improvement is to improve the soil quality. If the soil is changed when the reservoir is dug, what will become of the land in our cold city in the future? Because of the construction of the reservoir, a lot of good farmland has been created. You just need to think about it, and you will feel that the pain is worth eating. "
Chen nianran said his own ideas, the scene, the moment quiet down.
"This method is really good. It can improve our soil structure and build the reservoir. Of course, we want such a two all beauty approach. "
"But there is a question, how many tools and manpower does such a large reservoir need? If the people were willing to go out, the reservoir would have been built long ago. Because the common people can't afford it, they have been delayed until now, alas. "
Several old people exchanged their eyes again and looked at Chen nianran without engagement.
Chen hehe smiles. "Reservoir construction is a big deal. The chickens and pigs in our village can be converted into money, and then they can get it out of these materials."
"As far as China is concerned, the life of the big guy can barely survive, so there is no need to save these money. So I'm in charge here. I'll deduct the money from the eggs, meat and fish I sell. Labor? Everyone who has labor will be transferred. Those who are unable to provide labor shall be deducted from the materials obtained in the village. The so-called strong efforts, money to pay. This is for the sake of cold city. "
"If you don't like it, let them come to me, but I want to hear the right reasons."
"We can rest assured that the lady of the city Lord has you! Then do it, for the sake of future generations, for the sake of our cold city. "
"Of course, we should do things that benefit our children and grandchildren."
"I didn't expect that I would see such a prosperous scene in my life, Lord, thank you so much."
The old men were talking, looking forward to the future one by one. On that day, the village began to hold a plenary meeting to talk about building the reservoir and changing the soil.
The villagers didn't say much about the proposal, and others were muttering, "Oh, there's no money to eat?"
"Oh Well, it's a good thing to build a reservoir. But my son is going to get married. "
"Oh, my daughter is going to be married too. I can't get any money after this. I also point to this money to make a good dowry for my daughter. Oh, I can make it. "
But immediately someone jumped out and pointed at these people and shouted, "I said why are your eyelids so shallow? Building a reservoir will benefit future generations. If it's a dry day, we won't be able to survive this season. Can you still have food, marry your daughter, and marry your daughter-in-law? Come on, it's also now that we meet the city Lord, who is kind-hearted and leads us to the road of becoming rich. If she doesn't care about us, you don't know where to work for others! How much is the short-term worker? Being scolded and taught like a dog. If you stay away from your family, you can't earn any money for your clothes. "
Some people also sighed: "everyone should be satisfied. What do you want to do when we meet such a good Lord? You feel your conscience and ask yourself, which of these rich businesses is not led by others. And those businesses that come with money, which are not contributed by the city Lord and his wife. We, the people of the cold city, can do this? "
"It's for the sake of us people that this reservoir is now changing the soil. Think about it. If the Lord doesn't care about us, what will our life be like? Without money, do you still want to go back and save money to get a wife and a daughter? "
Those whispering people were attacked like this, and they could only look down and chat: "I, I just want to talk about it! Well, I promise. I won't do anything. Don't say that to me. I said I'm sorry! "
"It's good for you to know that you're wrong. Remember that the Lord of the city asked us to build a reservoir for our own sake. If there is a drought this year, we will have no harvest in one year. Alas! Depend on heaven to eat, don't you have to plan for the future. If we don't think about it in advance, when the weather is dry, there will be no harvest.
So reservoir construction is an important thing. With it, we will be much better. If all the big guys agree, let's talk about it! I'll discuss it with the village head, the village head and some of your old people. For the specific operation method, we should divide it into several groups of people for the time being and make a good check on how to dig the reservoir. "
