There are still ignorant people in the court, let alone these peasant people who have not read much. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Zhou wanted to organize these people to rescue the disaster, but it was really not very easy.
There was confusion and indifference on the faces of every citizen.
In the face of this natural disaster, the only thing they have to do is to wait, this is God to punish them, as long as the punishment is over, they will get better next.
Tang Zhou's brows condensed slightly, and he said, "What God wants to punish you?" Wind and rain, drought and floods, these are just the normal weather conditions, there are no natural disasters at all, we must be united, otherwise how can we live better? ”
Tang Zhou said all these truths, but these people were indifferent, they didn't believe what Tang Zhou said at all.
"You have to think clearly, you have parents and children, and you need the crops in the fields this season to better feed them, do you just let them suffer and suffer with them, how do you be children, and how do you be parents?"
After saying this, some people among the people were already moved, yes, they couldn't believe what Tang Zhou said about the weather normal, but if the crops of heaven and earth were destroyed, how could they feed their families?
"I Tang Zhou don't believe in any natural disasters, I must water this field, I am willing to follow, Benhou welcomes it."
After Tang Zhou finished speaking, he looked at those people, they were very entangled and embarrassed, it stands to reason that in order to survive, they must follow Tang Zhou, but they are afraid, afraid that this is really a natural disaster, if they disobey God, will they be punished by God?
The people hesitated, but in the end, not many people stood up to express their support for Tang Zhou.
This is the first time Tang Zhou has suffered such a failure, he knows very well that this is a problem of concept, and this problem is not easy to change, the concept of these natural disasters has penetrated into their bone marrow, how easy is it to make them believe that these are just ordinary weather norms?
The people gradually dispersed, in the hot weather, Tang Zhou sweated like rain, he was a little desperate, he thought that there was nothing he couldn't do, but now looking at it, he overestimated himself too much.
He overestimated his abilities and overestimated his prestige.
But when the desperate thought flashed, he reaffirmed his faith.
No matter what, he can't despair, others don't dare to fight with the sky, so he just fights with the sky.
After returning to the house, Tang Zhou found Ma Qing, Li Hu, Tie Zhizhi and others.
"Hire as many people as you can."
Hearing Tang Zhou's words, several people's hearts sank.
"Little Marquis, you are really going to water the ground, this project is very huge."
"Yes, this is a natural disaster, those people won't do it, let's forget it, maybe it will rain when."
Li Hu and Ma Qing were a little repulsed, but Tie Buzhi didn't care, he never believed in this.
"Don't talk nonsense, do what I tell me, as long as you are willing to come, my Tang family will take care of the food, and give another twenty yuan per person every day."
When the people saw this, they had no choice but to receive the order.
It is not very difficult to hire people to water the land, although many people think that this is a natural disaster, but it is for their fields, if it is just to do things for others, they are not particularly afraid, and Tang Zhou also takes care of food, and gives twenty yuan a day, where to find such a good thing?
So in one day, Ma Qing and his team recruited almost 1,000 people, and then these people were thrown into the army of watering.
Every day, they carried water from the moat to the world of Tang Zhou, of course, if there were wells or other small rivers nearby, they would also draw water from there, but the water in the moat was the most abundant, and there were more people who went there to get water.
These people are pouring it like this, and more are joining in every day.
Tang Zhou's land is quite a lot, but there are so many people, a few days later, these fields are watered again, after a while, the crops in the Tang family's field slowly recovered, this irrigation in this weather, should be able to last four or five days, but after four or five days if it does not rain, you need to irrigate again.
But that's enough, and in four or five days, the crops in these fields will grow well.
The crops in Tang Zhou's field began to grow wildly, and day by day, when the other people saw this, they became even more shaken, until one day, a group of people gathered together.
"Now that the crops of the little marquis's family are growing well, what should we do?"
There was silence at first, and then there was humanity: "Let's pour it too, people with such status as the little marquis are not afraid of heaven's curse, what are we afraid of, is our life more precious than the little marquis?" ”
"That's it, do it, otherwise it will be difficult for us to eat a full meal in the second half of the year."
As soon as a few people discussed this, they immediately started to do it, and soon, more and more people also invested in it, and when this became a trend and a scale, it was naturally huge.
In the end, more than 100,000 people began to irrigate.
By the moat, there are many people waiting to fetch water every day.
This situation is naturally a good thing, but it can't be done without an organization, and this time, Tang Zhou once again gathered all the people together.
"Folks, everyone can only solve the problem for a while, I am ready to bring in water from other places, I believe that as long as everyone is united, this must not be a problem."
This time, the people were very supportive of Tang Zhou's proposal.
"Okay, we'll do what the little marquis asks us to do."
"Water diversion, water diversion ......"
Everyone was very excited, Tang Zhou took out the things that had been designed before, and then arranged for the people to do it, which was more time-consuming, but if it was done well, the whole Chang'an would not have to worry about the drought in the future.
In fact, Tang Zhou's thing is similar to a reservoir, in the city of Chang'an to build a reservoir, when the rain is sufficient, the reservoir will be closed to store water, and when the drought comes, the reservoir will be opened to irrigate crops, of course, in addition, there must be a lot of ditches around the field, these are used to lead the water in the reservoir to the ditch, and then let the people pick out the water from the ditch to water the ground.
This situation is very common in later generations, Tang Zhou's previous era, there were many ditches in the fields, but in his time, because they used wells to pump water or use electricity for irrigation, the ditches slowly dried up, so that many people do not understand why there are so many ditches in the field, in fact, these ditches were used by the people in the past to store water and irrigate the land.
There is no ditch in the field of Datang, whether it is good to water or not depends on luck, it depends on whether there is a naturally formed river next to your field.
However, if the reservoir is built and there are many more ditches in the fields, then many fields that were not good fields before will become good fields.
