It was dawn in the morning and before the sun rose, Luo got up before dawn and made more than a dozen cakes for everyone. Wu Song and thirteen people each ate a cake and drank a sip of sorghum porridge.

At the door of the Luo family, Luo Ping changed into a new dress. Luo family carried a pack of bread on his back, and he was afraid he would take a rabbit-skin scarf to protect his neck.

"Ping'er, from now on, you will follow Brother Erlang and learn from Brother Erlang to be a stubborn person. Come and kowtow to Brother Erlang." Luo took Luo Ping and kowtow to Wu Song.

Wu Song quickly helped him up and said, "Don't worry, as long as I come to my team, I will treat it fairly and will not treat Luo Ping unfairly."

Luo's mother arranged again: "Remember to listen to your brother. Don't do anything randomly when encountering things."

"Mom, I understand. Go back, it's so cold outside. And dad, you go back too." Luo Ping asked in an indifferent voice.

Wu Song looked at the sky and said, "It's not too late, we're leaving."

The team set off with great strides, Luo Ping happily walked in the front with the tiger slap that Wu Song sent him, while Wu Song and others were behind.

In the cold wind, Luo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed: "I hope this child can have a full meal here." What she didn't know was that Luo Ping's trip was like a dragon entering the sea and tiger entering the deep mountains. He became a powerful general in the world of civilization in more than ten years. This is not to mention this later.

Let’s talk about Wu Song leading the team, he returned to Wujiazhuang in more than an hour. At this time, the sun was already high. The fragrance of food came from the yard. It was strange. How could anyone come to cook at home?

When I entered the door, I found that Jia Simin, a scholar, was lying on the recliner reading without any concern.

Wu Song asked: "Did you cook the rice?"

Jia Simin said: "You think it is beautiful. I want to keep accounts, explore the water conservancy terrain, organize agricultural materials, and let me cook. Why don't you turn me into a mule? The rice is made by Xiaolan, not what I called her, but she wanted to come by herself. She cooked a large pot of porridge and steamed steamed buns."

Wu Song said: "Okay, go and ask her and her mother if they are willing to work for us. Get the money per month. At the beginning, the wages are based on the market price. In the future, when they are developed, they will be paid."

Jia Simin said: "Okay, I'll ask now."

Wu Song asked everyone to have a meal, then took it out and weighed them, weighing all the meat they carried back. In addition to the ones I ate at Luo Ping's house last night, there were 500 kilograms.

Wu Song said: "Each person is going to send 30 kilograms of meat home, and let's keep the others dry into bacon. Let's go back. Remember to come back in an hour."

Luo Ping said: "Do you still have thirty kilograms of meat from me?"

Wu Song said: "I have left dozens of kilograms for your house yesterday, so I have no one this time. But don't worry, brother said that you will never treat you badly, whatever you eat."

Luo Ping smiled foolishly, feeling that Wu Song was the best person in the world.

The twelve people carried meat home, which made the nearby villagers very jealous, especially those who Wu Zhuang called them not to come.

Jia Simin came back soon and said that Liu Xiaolan and her mother agreed and were willing to work for Wu Song. Xiaolan was responsible for some miscellaneous work, cooking fires, and Liu's mother was good at craftsmanship and was responsible for making clothes.

Jia Simin said: "You have completed the reservoir in Wujia Village that I have explored. There are five places that can be built in total, but they are all very small, with a maximum length of 350 feet."

Wu Song was still very unaccustomed to the size of the Northern Song Dynasty. He still liked to use rice to calculate it and immediately said, "Stop, have you not used the rice ruler I made for you to measure it?"

"Test it, let's go, I'll take you to take a look." Jia Simin was very impatient and pulled Wu Song away. The first reservoir was planned to be less than 200 meters away from Wu Song's house. There was a stream between the two valleys. White lines had been made out of lime on the ground.

"Baozheng, look, according to my design, we built a dam that is 100 meters wide from here and intercepted the entire stream. The dam extends upwards of more than 200 meters, which is a reservoir with a deepest depth of 3 meters, with an average water depth of 1.5 meters. The entire reservoir capacity is estimated to be 30,000 to 50,000 cubic meters. Such a large pond can raise 2,000 geese and produce tens of thousands of kilograms of fish annually. The biggest benefit is that it can irrigate more than 200 acres of land, and at least it is okay to encounter ordinary drought years." Jia Simin introduced, "You are just stupid. After repairing this reservoir, it is not your own. Is this transaction worth it?"

"I'm not stupid or stupid, I must be stupid. This transaction is not worth it. But these stupid things always need to be done by someone. From tomorrow on, you and Uncle Wu San are responsible for organizing the strong men in the village to repair this reservoir. The sand and gravel needed are mined nearby, and I, Wu Song, are responsible for the food. The farm tools and tools maintenance are all required by Zhang Blacksmith." Wu Song said.

Jia Simin said: "This small reservoir project is not small, and it cannot be completed in just a few months. Even if you take care of the food, some people are unwilling to come."

"If you don't come, just tell the villagers that anyone who comes to build a reservoir will issue fish signs, and he will have a portion of fish every winter. Whenever you encounter dry days, you can use water as you like. If you don't come, you can eat fish and watch it, and he will stand when we water the ground." Wu Song said.

"Okay, keep your courage and keep your mission done." Jia Simin said.

The first thing to start was publicity work. Although Jia Simin was a scholar, he had a lot of tricks, so he asked Liu Xiaolan's mother to make a big banner and wrote to the water conservancy engineering team. People in the Song Dynasty were quite superstitious and had to pay attention to auspicious things when doing things, so it was still necessary to have this big banner. A banner was put up on the reservoir construction site to build a reservoir to benefit their descendants. The village also used lime to brush slogans: One person built a reservoir, and the whole family was glorious. If the poor people want to get rich, the key to building water conservancy is to build it.

If you want to say that this big cake is really good, Jia Simin is really good at painting it. He describes it vividly. After the reservoir is repaired, there are big fish to eat every year. How big is this fish? If you want to stew the fish in a large iron pot, you have to cut it into pieces. Of course, the most important thing about the people is the role of the reservoir irrigation. Jia Simin said that as long as the reservoir is repaired, such a large reservoir will irrigate at least 300 acres of land.

There must be voices of opposition, but there is more support. Uncle Wu San recruited 120 strong men and 50 women from the village to work. Some elderly people spontaneously went to the construction site to be responsible for cooking and burning fire.

In order to ensure that the dam is ten meters wide and five meters high, it depends entirely on manpower in the years without construction machinery. In the same project as Yugong moving mountains, everyone uses baskets to carry sand and gravel to accumulate. Only a dozen ox carts and mule carts are the main force.
