"I have seen Yang Goujun and I. Although it is a mountainous area, there is a valley that can draw water over. But the former must drill through a mountain of earth and open a flint road, while the latter must even drill through two earth mountains. It can be done, but it costs a lot." Hou Ke said.

They also know that the funding is tight, but since they have already played a big game, it is better to just play a bigger game.

If the water level increases by more than three meters, how much farmland needs to be irrigated?

The main reason is that gunpowder gives them confidence, otherwise they would have exploded the mountain and opened the flint road. Will they dare to think about it before?

"Let's go, let's ride over and take a look."

This is a serious matter, and Wang Ju didn't care about going home to visit his family.

The group rode their horses toward Zhongshan.

In fact, the canal heads they selected originally belonged to the mountainous area, but the situation was a little better. Of course, when hoarding water at the Hongkou, the one that does not belong to the mountainous area. Even if there are mountains, it is just a sporadic small mountain of soil that can be used by, so the cost is very small, but the water level of Jingshui is low and the irrigation area is limited. In the end, everyone gave up.

Let’s go to the first place that Hou Ke said.

Wang Ju stood by the Jing River without evaporating it. He could tell the situation of the water flow, and there was a slight difference.

In fact, the two locations selected by Hou Ke and Yang Pan are now also the location chosen by Wang Ju of the Ming Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty, the Jingshui deteriorated even more severely, with a low water level line, and the Sanbai Canal built in the Song Dynasty was no longer useful.

Therefore, I had to choose a site upwards, then open mountains and build stone canals, but even so, the irrigation area was reduced to 9,000 hectares.

The second location that Hou Ke chose was the site of Jinghui Canal of Li Yizhi, a water conservancy master who was supported by Yang Hucheng during the Republic of China. However, the Jingshui deteriorated even more severely at that time. If the Jingshui flow is still a 15 or 16-year-old boy, the Jingshui flow at that time could only be regarded as a child who could only crawl. Therefore, even if the modernization construction decades later, the irrigation area was only 1.35 million mu.

How much was it turned into the Song Dynasty?

The hectares in the Song Dynasty were not fifteen acres of one hectares, but one hundred acres, but not the later acres, but one hundred Song acres. Because the foot of the Song Dynasty was smaller than that of later acres, one Song acres was equivalent to nine-point one acres in later generations. One hectares were ninety-one acres in later generations. That is, the technology and productivity at that time, the irrigation area was less than 15,000 Song acres.

But it is not exactly consistent. After all, the mountains, rivers and terrain have changed slightly over the years.

Hou Ke led Wang Ju forward and pointed to a mountain and said, "As long as you open up that mountain, you can direct water to the valley behind the mountain. Moreover, because the terrain is high, it can be used as a water diversion channel to clear the river sand in the reservoir in the future."

This sand storage pool was first seen in the notes of Wang Ju and Zhang Qi.

But without Wang Ju's suggestion, Hou Ke also built this sand storage pool in history.

Its appearance was also forced by the deterioration of Jingshui. The ancients said that Jing was clear and Wei was turbid. Later, because the Jingshui was opened upstream of the Jingshui River, the Jingshui River deteriorated, and by the Tang Dynasty, it turned into Weishui Qing and Jingshui. By the Song Dynasty, the Han people cut down timber in the upper reaches of the Weishui River for profit, including Zhao Pu, and the Weishui River also began to deteriorate. This environmental protection issue also triggered later conflicts, including a disastrous defeat by the Song army in Hezhou.

Therefore, Wang Ju went to the Jingwei Dragon Joint and looked at it, but he didn't see any clear and turbid wonders. Anyway, everyone was almost the same, they were all rolling in the mud river and were dazzlingly yellow.

Wang Ju was both angry and funny, which reminded him of his previous life's evaluation. What has Jingwei become? It is Huangjing Water, gutter oil, black Wei River. The yellow Jing River, the black and smelly Wei River, and the Jingwei River began to be clear again...

If the sand storage tank is not stored, even if all the water drains are repaired, the silt and sand will settle down, and the ditches will eventually silt, and the entire water conservancy will lose its benefits.

That's why there is a sand storage tank.

The ditches are called the head of the canal. The water flow can sometimes be very fast. The head of the canal continues to move forward and then choose a valley to be the reservoir. However, this reservoir has nothing to do with water storage, but it is the sand. After a period of flow, the water is gentle. When it comes to the reservoir, the water flow is still and it is still flowing, but it will flow to the various parts of the reservoir at a very slow speed. The water released by the steep gate only contains a small part of the newly incoming water flow, most of which are precipitated river water. Then it flows to the second reservoir through the diversion channel. Basically, 85% of the silt sand settles in this reservoir, and 10% will continue to settle in the second diversion channel.

However, this water diversion canal and reservoir are relatively high. If it is deposited severely, it can release water through the drainage canal when the water level is low in autumn, and the downstream door will be closed. Then organize the residents to carry the river sand out.

Now this site selection has a larger gap and is more suitable for making a sand storage tank.

Wang Ju walked to the earthen mountain to watch.

"The rocks of this mountain are soft, and the disadvantage is that they are easy to collapse. Therefore, we came up with another strategy. After the flint channel is dug, the water diversion canal will be built into a bottle inlet, with a large bottom and a small top. Then the stone slabs are closed and the rocks are piled up. Then the mountain will be poured out and will not affect the water diversion canal."

In fact, this is equivalent to becoming an underground river.

"That won't work. If that happens, it will be difficult to repair it," Wang Ju shook his head and rejected it. He climbed the Tushan Mountain again. There was a valley behind it. There were more than a dozen mountain households on the edge of the valley. It was indeed suitable for water diversion canals and sand storage tanks.

So he walked down the mountain and looked at the earthen mountain again. He couldn't figure out that there was limestone outside the mountain, but what kind of rock was inside?

After looking at it for a while, looking at several other mountains, then saying, "Let's go to the next place."

Several people rode their horses toward the second location again.

Hou Ke pointed at Shanhe and explained again, but Wang Ju looked at it for a while and immediately shook his head: "It's not appropriate, the fee will be a lot."

I dare not get bigger, big, blow it up!

Hou Ke was not disappointed. There are now four canal heads and seven or eight options. Of course, when choosing a site here, the water level is the highest and the benefits are the most. It can even send water to the Beiluo Water to restore the Zheng Canal of Qin.

But why do we choose the first location for so many channels? Isn’t it just money? There is more money, if you do big things, less money, and if you do small things.

Yang Pan then said, "Then let's set the position of the canal head."

The head of the canal is the key. If it is determined, the position of the future can be discussed. If it is not determined, the future can be discussed.

The group returned again, continued to observe for a while, and returned to Jingyang County. It was already dusk.

The family met again, and it was particularly happy.

Lu Ping suddenly slapped his head and said, "Dalang, we are walking fast, why not stay for a few more days, maybe we can catch our son-in-law below the list."

He was referring to Erniu. If it were based on the marriage of most people in the Song Dynasty, Erniu would have been at the time to talk about marriage.

Wang Ju said, "Why are you anxious? It's still early?"

"Yes, yes, no hurry. In two or three years, the new imperial examination will be higher at that time. Now, I will only catch some small shrimps."

"What nonsense? I don't plan to make decisions for Erniu's marriage too much. She will stay behind me in the future. I can see many people. As long as she likes it, even if it is a beggar, I will agree. At most, I will check her character for her. I will not ask about her family background, but only ask about her fame, talent, and good people are the most important."

Many people in the Song Dynasty were rich and powerful and hoped that their daughter would marry a scholar-official.

What is this for?

How many scholars and officials can do this like Fan Zhongyan, Sima Guang, and Wang Anshi?

That one is not a three-wife and four concubine. If you meet someone like Kou Zhun, Han Qi, Xiao Song and Liu Yong, it would be a miserable person. It would be better to marry a farmer. The couple can still be respectful and grow old together.

Even if you marry Fan Zhongyan, you may not be happy. That life is too hard and cannot be endured by ordinary people.

"I'm not in a hurry," Erniu said from the side.

Ge Shaohua said: "Zi'an, Yao Xiong, who is Liyuan Castle, also has the sway of Zi'an."

"What's wrong with Yao Xiong?"

"You brought Hu Quan to your side. Yao Xiong felt sorry for him and pointed at Hu Quan's younger brother Hu Feng and said, "I have a little girl. When she grows up, I will marry her to you."

In fact, Yao Xiong cannot be blamed for Hu Qian's death. During that hour, he could only wait, otherwise the overall situation would be ruined.

However, Hu Qian died so tragically that he was stabbed countless times. He died like this and still stood firm. After hearing this, Yao Xiong felt extremely ashamed and made this agreement with Hu Qian's wife.

"That's it," Wang Ju murmured.

It was Yao Xiong's intention to have this agreement, but it may not be able to be implemented in the future. Others don't know it, but Wang Ju knows something. In the future, Yao Xiong guarded Xihe many times, and even promoted his martial arts function to the second rank. At that time, the gap between the two families was too great, so big that it could be more than ten times the gap between him and the Li family in Wangjiazhai. To put it bluntly, if Yao Xiong's daughter entered the palace to be the queen, she would be qualified.

Can Yao Xiong still abide by this agreement at that time?

Suddenly he thought of Hu Qian's mother again. That was the white-haired man who sent the black-haired man. Within two years, he sent away his two sons, and the old man almost fainted from crying.

He sighed silently, touched Hu Quan's head and said, "Your father is a hero. When you grow up, no matter what you do, don't insult your father's reputation."

After saying that, he asked again: "Brother Zishen, how about Huachi County?"

"The people have lost their souls."

After Wang Ju left, Ge Shaohua stayed and continued to help Du Zhubo and others.

At that time, Han Qi had not yet thought about Wang Ju's place. Although Wang Ju was in the capital, he could still be regarded as the magistrate of Huachi. Ge Shaohua could also represent Wang Ju's meaning in some aspects.

Therefore, relief continued, but there were still many things. The workshop on the Huachi River was dismantled, and only the workshop on the Maling Water in Qingzhou was still running, and a large number of armor and weapons continued to be produced.

At the end of last year, Wang Juxin was given the order, so the vacancies in Huachi County must be filled. However, Han Qi could not think of any good candidates, and he could not go there if he was not bad. Otherwise, there would be a strong contrast and something might happen. He would have to understand a little bit of military affairs.

This delay was delayed until Zhao Shu died, and the candidate had not been decided yet.

It was not until not long ago that he was helpless that Master Du Bo was promoted to Huachi County Magistrate.

At this time, the Zhu and Li families sent people to buy fruit tree saplings. Du Zhubo was preparing to take the people to transfer the saplings. The saplings had not arrived yet, the weather had not really warmed up, and the time for the official transfer was not yet ready. But everyone must be prepared.

The mission is here.

Then Ge Shaohua took his family out of Huachi County.

It is normal for Wang Ju to return to Beijing to report his work, but it is not normal for him to come back yet.

In fact, everyone was already feeling uneasy. Seeing Ge Shaohua and Wang Ju and his family leave Huachi Town, they fired Zhong'er and immediately rushed over to block the road. Fan Zi was straightforward and beat his chest and stamped his feet. No, Huachi County is small and it is impossible to keep Wang Ju for a lifetime, but the court moved every three years, so it would take three years to transfer it.

Ge Shaohua said, it doesn’t matter if you stop us, Wang Giant is in Guanzhong.

Everyone has no choice, and many people have sent many local specialties. Ge Shaohua once again refused. Wang Zi'an never accepts gifts, and he also hates officials to accept gifts the most. If you can live and work in peace and safety in the future, that is the biggest gift to Wang Zi'an.

Many people cried after saying this.

Han Qi was right in mind, but fortunately, Master Du was over, otherwise he would have no way to play with him if he had changed to other officials.

Then they walked along the way and some people almost sent it to Zhiluo County. Even the magistrate of Zhiluo was alarmed and looked at him sideways, saying, "You should be a role model for us."

"This is how you should be an official."

"Zi Shen, there are many such situations in our dynasty. For example, Kou Zhun Gong's father-in-law, the people will keep him wherever he goes. It's not that the officials are good, but that the people are too satisfied." When Ge Shaohua said this, Wang Ju felt ashamed. He was not as kind as the people thought, and he thought one by one. However, the scene in Huachi County was revealed. He did not think much, and said, "Brother Zi Shen, you came just in time, and I am afraid that there will be something to you in the future."

"Tell me."

"Go to the south."

“Hangzhou?”

"No, it's the real South."

"where?"

“Guangnan East Road.”

"so far away?"

It is not a problem that is far away. The main reason is that northerners may not be used to going to the south. So Wang Ju said: "Where did you go, Brother Zishen should pay attention to a few things. One is that you are not accommodating with the environment. It is best to eat more fruits in normal times. Second, it is malaria and go to less smoky places. Although I don't believe in the so-called miasma, there are most places where **some people gather, so they are malaria."

But thinking about it, it is unlikely. If you want to do something, you have to go to these places. Therefore, you said: "The main thing is to prevent mosquito bites. Not only do you go, I also allocate some people to go. I will transfer people from the bamboo paper workshop, so you may have to go to Hangzhou first. The people there stayed in Hangzhou for a while and would be more adaptable than you. But it doesn't matter. Even if you go, you have to go to autumn. After the autumn, you will arrive in Guangnan. At that time, there will be no big problem. Next year, you will have a period of adaptation. In short, this industry will have a lot of hard work, but if you complete it, you will be able to enter the official career in the future."

"That's all about the official career, but try to do what Zi'an ordered."

"It's not just false words, if this is not done well, it can become a national policy."

"national policy?"

"Brother Zishen, come here," Wang Ju called him alone and said, "At this time, I can't hide it from you anymore. Zhao Dalang, who used to come to the inn to chat with me, is the current official family."

"Ah, ah, ah." r1152
