Chapter 92 Four Seasons Canal
Wen smiled and thought to himself: "He is a meticulous person."
The four of them were already surprised to see that the new type of plough was effective, and they would not refuse now.
Then several people took off the ox, tied ropes, shoulder straps, etc. on their own, and used human power to pull the "curved plow". The four of them worked together, but it was no less than the ox. A quarter of an hour later, everyone saw the "curved plow", but the four young and strong men in charge of pulling the plow in front were full of joy. It seemed that they were labor-saving, but it was certain!
Yiqing and strong, said happily: "It really saves a lot of effort, but I don't know how much effort it can save. Is it one person or two?" His face was full of eagerness to try.
"Okay, let's take the three of you to try it out, to see how much effort is saved?" Wen Chouyan said.
Then he changed from four to three, involving the plow.
......
After many practices and debugging, we finally concluded that if the plowed land is of ordinary depth, it can save one to two people. The plow that was originally led by four people is more than enough now with three people. If two people are two, the debugging needs to be done more shallow.
Such achievements have already made Wen Chou very satisfied. After all, it is just a first-generation product, and it is an unexpected surprise to be able to be used smoothly. From this, we can also see the attainments of the man surnamed Wang in the manufacturing of agricultural tools!
It had a good effect, and everyone was very happy. After asking for instructions from Wang, the generous man named Wang said: "
This 'Curve Plow' will be given to you! Don't forget the kindness of Wenjun!"
After hearing this, the group of people looked at each other and could see the surprise on each other's faces. They looked at Wen Chou and nodded when they saw Wen Chou, they all bowed and thanked him! They were extremely happy. After getting this "curved plow", these villagers can greatly increase their farming speed! This year, they will be able to reclaim dozens of acres of land. How can they be unhappy?
After Wen Chou, the man surnamed Wang rushed back to the village pavilion. After seeing this "Quanyuan Plow" effective, Wen Chou asked about the cost and learned that it was only twice as much time-consuming than ordinary ploughs. He decided to take the lead in making a thousand pieces, but most of them could not be used this season, and it was worth the effort.
Of course, the huge consumption of raw materials such as wood, iron ore is borne by Wen Chou Township Youzhi. Even if the Wang family has a million property, it is not as big as this! He was shocked and then heard that he did not have to worry about the raw materials, he happily agreed. He also said that even if he used the strength of his whole family, he would definitely drive them out before the next season came!
After Wen Chou rushed back to Guan Temple from the Wang family in the Township Pavilion, it was already the red sun set in the afternoon.
Looking at the red glows all over the sky, Wen Chou was still a little excited. The richer the people under his jurisdiction, the stronger the power he could mobilize. There is now an opportunity to quickly get rid of the current situation of extreme poverty. How could Wen Chou be unhappy?
After shook his head, Wen Chou stopped his infinitely extended fantasy. He quickly walked into Guan Temple to conceive the next project and plan the plan.
After thinking hard for several hours, drawing and drawing, I finally planned outlines the matters established by the library and set up several library borrowing guidelines. How precious books are so precious, it is not that a scholar can enter the library to borrow!
Just wait for the busy farming process to be implemented.
The night is getting darker and the moon is hanging high. Most of the villagers who are busy with farming go home to rest. But there are exceptions. There are still a small number of Guizhou heads that are constantly farming under the moonlight. Most of these families do not have oxen, and they can only rely on time to make up for it.
The next day, it was another clear and clear weather without a cloud. After a night of rest, the villagers and Guizhou leaders were resurrected and devoted themselves to the new day of work like a full blood.
After several days, the villagers, Qianshou, cultivated their wheat seeds day and night, finally sowed the wheat seeds into the fields. This busy farming process that lasted for more than a month was gradually coming to an end. In the days that followed, they would just wait for the seedlings to break out of the soil, weeding, etc., and those with conditions could also apply fertilization and irrigation.
During this period, Wen Chou also sent Taolin soldiers to collect the corn that the villagers should pay, most of which were transported to the blockage, and a small part was left in the Guansi warehouse and stored.
The Xin'an refugees who had the food in their hands slowly built stoves and buried pots, becoming self-sufficient. In the original porridge shed, people coming and going gradually became rare, and daily food consumption was gradually decreased.
After farming, the villagers rushed to Wen Chou's call and rushed to the last ditches to be excavated, working hard. Who is not active in irrigation of their own fields? Only then did everyone admire Wen Chou's cleverness in acting.
Digging the ditches with the power of refugees is not only beneficial to the present and forever, but also able to successfully calm the refugees' uneasy and ready-to-go, and make the refugees feel grateful for their kindness. It is truly a powerful man who is good at making the people's strength and distinguishes the essence of the incident!
Wen Chou held the shovel in his hand and grabbed the sweat towel on his neck with the other hand and wiped it with sweat. He looked at it and saw that the purpose was more than 10,000 villagers, who were spreading on the ditches for several miles, and were sweating like rain. He was very relieved and thought: "From this progress, the channels will be fully connected within three days!"
This is not the first time Wen Chou has come to the construction site to work with the people. The villagers are grateful in their hearts, and no one is willing to cherish their strength. In addition, I have been full of food recently, which is much more energy than the original one or two servings of fine porridge, so the project progress will naturally be much faster.
Over the past few days, news that Wen Chou wanted to expand the Taolin Military Department has spread throughout the countryside. I think after passing this ditch, he would post recruitment announcements in various pavilions in the countryside. These villagers are also very concerned about Wen Chou's recruitment of soldiers. They are also very moved by Wen Chou's generous treatment of soldiers. Moreover, they also have a sense of gratitude for Wen Chou. However, whether they can pass the test of Wen Chou is not something they can control.
Not to mention how these villagers view Wen Chou's intention to expand the military headquarters, but the soldiers who had been resting for more than a month in Taolin were very willing. Because this shows that they all had the opportunity to be promoted. According to the news from above, the newly recruited soldiers would be mixed with them, and the old soldiers would lead the new soldiers. Then some of their old soldiers would be promoted to the sergeant commander, such as the commander, the team leader, and even the sergeant commander! Don't think about it. In the entire army, Dong Jiang is the quasi-qu commander, and whether the other sergeant commanders will be promoted to the sergeant commander.
Three days passed in a flash.
This is a time for all people to celebrate together!
Wen Chou symbolically threw out the last shovel of soil in the ditch, and more than 10,000 villagers surrounding the periphery raised their items and shouted and whistled. Whether it was a shovel, a shoulder pole, or a manure basket, they became tools for villagers to promote their voices.
Seeing this, Wen Chou did not say anything, but cheered together, feeling the pleasure of the people calling together. It was not until half a minute later that everyone gradually calmed down, left the ditches, opened the gates and opened the water.
More than ten thousand villagers on both sides of the ditches were silently watching a silver dot from the direction of the water, with a thunderous roar, gradually turning into a silver thread. Then the river water was wrapped in an unrivaled power and washed over the present momentum, and divided into three tributaries not far away, flowing away from afar.
At this point, the ditches that span the entire Shahe Township farmland area were officially opened to water! There are three main veins that span the farmland area, with several smaller branches spreading like grids.
Wen Chou looked at the rolling river with joy and couldn't help but sigh: "With this ditch, we can ensure that our hometown will flourish for a hundred years!"
When Wang Chong, the village assistant beside him, his eyes turned around and said, "The ditch has been completed. Please give it a name to you to ensure the stability of a lifetime."
"Please make your name!"
"Please make your name!"
......
For a moment, the villagers around bowed and shouted, and extended layer by layer. Until the end, all the people bowed together, and the sounds stopped the flowing clouds, which was spectacular! It was rare to be rank and ugly in ancient times!
Wen Chou first helped Wang Chong, the leader of the village master, up, and then said loudly: "Since you have never abandoned me, I will dare to give this canal one. This canal was dug through four months to dig. I must pray that this canal will flow endlessly in all seasons, and that it is the meaning of irrigation. Is it good to call it the "Four Seasons Canal"?"
"'Six Seasons Canal', well, this name is very good! I hope this canal will flow endlessly in all seasons!" Wang Chong, the village master, pondered for a moment and responded.
"Six Seasons Canal!"
"The meaning of endless water flowing in all seasons!"
"Six Seasons Canal!"
......After a while, the name given by Wen Chou spread to more than ten thousand villagers. Everyone pondered, and from time to time praised the name for being appropriate, profound, and just right, and so on.
When Wen Chou returned to Guan Temple from the ditches, it was already dark. In the past few days, Wen Chou was very tired. Although he did not stay on the ditches construction site all the time, as the farming season passed, the villagers' lawsuits increased. The daily litigation of these 20,000 villagers made Wen Chou miserable.
Although Wen Chou repeatedly emphasized that if the problems that can be solved by the inner chief and the elders of the village do not have to go to the pavilion chief or ask for the thief or the father of the pavilion; if the problems that can be solved by the pavilion, there is no need to come to the township center temple to seek the appeals of the township officials; if the problems that can be solved by other officials do not have to go to him. He is very busy!
However, there were still villagers who came to Wen Chou for justice with trivial matters! However, his reputation in the village became increasingly strong. Wen Chou was not good at rejecting him sternly, so he had to tempt him to seek help from the pavilion first if he had something to do in the future. If it could not be solved, it would not be too late to come to him again.
The more busy Wen Chou was, the more he hoped to recruit some scholars to help him share the pressure. After all, 20,000 people were too many, just like the population of a county, and only the officials in the township could not be busy. In the past, the refugees had never gained a foothold, which was not very obvious. Now the refugees have chosen sites to rebuild their houses and officially settled down, and the problems have become more and more, and the shortcomings of the lack of officials have been highlighted.
