This is indeed a big problem, and the drinking water in this village is also a problem. It seems that both drilling wells and digging rivers are the top priorities.

For these months, they are drinking fresh water from the ship. It's not a long-term solution.

Liu Yong immediately organized soldiers to look around for the river. Within five kilometers is fine.

The soldiers took grenades and went, they had to bring grenades, because the lions were so scary. This is what the road must let them take.

And let them be sure to find the water source, as long as there is a water source, then they can produce and live here with peace of mind.

The effort paid off, and a team that had gone west returned a day later, and it was they who found a large river on the west side of the mountain. It is only more than 20 miles away from here.

Liu Yong immediately took the foreman to check. When he arrived at the place, there was indeed a big river, but what made Liu Yong a little discouraged was that this big river flowed west from here, not east. To the east is the mountains, and it is not easy to get the water to flow eastward.

But what to do?

They had to go back and talk about it first.

Some people suggested that if it really didn't work, they would blow up the mountain with explosives.

But this is impossible, how much explosives are needed for this, even if all the explosives brought by Liu Yong are used, I am afraid it will be useless.

It seems that this method will not work, but this river is right under the nose, and it would be a pity not to use it.

So, Liu Yong organized people to hurry up and find a way to see if they could bring the river water here.

After two days of research, I didn't find out that he was ugly.

Liu Yong was a little discouraged, he couldn't help but be discouraged, and the others were also discouraged. Because it would be an impossible task to bring that river here.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a group of soldiers who had searched north also returned. And it also brings good news. They also found a source of water, also a large river.

Liu Yong immediately asked, "Where does the big river flow?" ”

The soldier replied, "It flows first north, then east, and finally south into the sea." ”

"You know so much detail?" Liu Yong was a little puzzled, so he asked the soldiers who came back.

The soldier replied, "This is the lord, we have been in the north for a day and a night, and we have found no water, and the next day we see a mountain peak, which is as high as a cloud, and it seems that it is at least a thousand feet. Very high, very high. So I suggested climbing to the top of the mountain and looking down, wouldn't it be clear if there was a river at a glance? ”

Liu Yong nodded, feeling that this was still good with the little soldier's suggestion.

The little soldier continued: "It's just that this mountain is relatively steep, and it's not easy to climb." But fortunately, when we were in the Great Song Dynasty, the general once trained us in the ability to climb mountains. This is where it comes in handy. So the eight of us climbed together towards the very top of the mountain. ”

The little soldier paused and then said, "But as soon as I went up the mountain, I realized that in fact, this mountain peak is still very easy to climb, and it is full of stones. It's just a little annoying, that is, this mountain peak is full of eagle nests, and those eagle eagles are going to attack us when they see us. It's very annoying. ”

Speaking of this, the little soldier smiled and looked at Liu Yong embarrassedly.

Liu Yong nodded at him, smiled as well, and said, "It's okay, you just go on." ”

The little soldier nodded, smiled wryly, and continued, "It took us a day to climb to the top of the mountain, but it was already dark. So we spent the night at the top of the mountain. When it was dawn the next day, we went to the top of the peak to look, and at a glance we saw a large river that was half circular, one flowing into the sea of Dao. And the birthplace of this jumping river is on the north side of this mountain. So they were so happy that they jumped and cheered on the top of the mountain. ”

"When we found the water source, we hurried down the mountain, and the descent was relatively fast, and it took less than half a day to come down. And then we came non-stop. ”

After the little soldier finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yong.

Liu Yong nodded with satisfaction, and then asked after a long pause, "How far is the river from here?" ”

"Oh, this one, it's quite far, about twenty or thirty miles away." The little soldier said.

Liu Yong nodded and said, "It's okay, it's not too far." We're waiting for people from other directions, and if they don't find it, there's only one way to go. ”

Everyone nodded.

By the next day, all the people had returned, and instead of finding a source of water, they had come back with some game. Liu Yong said to them that they had worked hard. took a few pheasants and hares and went back to Ouyang Lanlan to open meat.

That night, Liu Yong decided to go to the big river in the north the next day to have a look.

That night, he and Ouyang Lanlan and the others had a full meal of barbecue game and rested.

Early the next morning he rode his horse and led the men and went north.

The little soldier led the way, and he told Liu Yong that he could find the jumping river by walking along the plain.

Sure enough, the next day they found the river, and the group was very happy, and what made Liu Yong and the others even more happy was that the terrain of this river was much higher than their station, which was very suitable for leading a new river, it didn't need to be wide, even a small river was enough for these people.

Liu Yong immediately asked the workers to start digging the river, which was not too wide, but more than two meters wide.

Because it is located in the plain, the land is soft, and it is very easy to dig, Liu Yong also called the sailors on the ship, as well as the soldiers, more than 2,000 people, and dug the river in only one day.

But at this time, Liu Yong is not in a hurry to release water, he wants to dig a lake in the east of the village, also on the side of the sea, and store water, where people can usually bathe and wash clothes.

The lake with a radius of five or six hundred square meters was also dug in one day. At this time, Liu Yongcai notified the workers upstream to release the water. That is, to connect the newly dug river with the big river.

In half a day, the river that bypassed the new village flowed down.

At this moment, everyone cheered and jumped.

In less than ten days, Liu Yong led everyone to solve one of the biggest problems. At this time, there is water, and there are no worries.

Well, there's no next step to build a refinery. The water from the refinery is a separate river that leads to the grasslands below the mountains, so that the arid grasslands can also be nourished. Since then, there have been more and more animals in this grassland.

They were in harmony with the workers outside the fence.
