In addition to bringing in river water for irrigation during dry times, ditches in the fields also have the advantage of being able to store water during the flood season, thereby reducing the risk of crop flooding. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Tang Zhou's design has been discussed with many people, so all aspects are perfect, and after getting the support of the people, he immediately invested in it, of course, if he does these things, he doesn't have to give these people money every day, after all, these are all done for themselves, and it's not to water his Tang family's crops, what money does he pay?

However, the daily food is enough, of course, Tang Zhou does not pay for the meal, and it has to be funded by the household department of the imperial court.

Now that there is a great drought in Chang'an, for the well-being of the people, the court can afford this money, but the household department has taken out the money, and some people in the court and China have to dislike it, muttering about the impeachment of Tang Zhou and making a big fuss and so on.

It's just drought-fighting, you contact the people to water the land, why do you dig ditches to build reservoirs?

They felt that the money was a bit unjust, so they asked Tang Zhou for trouble in the early court, and wanted to impeach him for spending money indiscriminately, but Li Shimin liked these things Tang Zhou did, and more importantly, he didn't have to make any accusations, so no matter who impeached Tang Zhou, he always helped Tang Zhou block it.

With Li Shimin's support, Tang Zhou naturally did it more easily, but whether it was building a reservoir or digging a ditch, it was a very time-consuming and labor-intensive thing, even if there were many people, it would take several months.

This matter was brought up by Tang Zhou, Tang Zhou naturally had to take the lead, and he was on the scene every day, so it was not hard.

At the same time, Li Chunfeng set up an altar in Chang'an, the capital, to pray for rain for the people.

There are not many other places in the altar set up by Li Chunfeng, and all he does is to shake the wooden sword back and forth on the altar every day, muttering in his mouth and not knowing what to say.

According to his calculations, this ritual will be done for more than ten days, because after ten days, it will rain in Chang'an.

Doing things for more than ten days is also a thing that makes people speechless, for this, Li Chunfeng actually doesn't want to do it, but who made him have no ability to pray for rain at all, so he can only dangle back and forth on the stage every day.

It is a very strange thing to set up an altar to pray for rain for more than ten days, which makes Li Chunfeng very embarrassed and uncomfortable, because on a hot day, he walks back and forth under the sun, and it is really hot.

After persisting like this for more than ten days, in the afternoon of this day, Li Chunfeng recited a mantra on the stage to ask for rain, and after reciting it for a while, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the sky, and then the entire sky over Chang'an became gloomy.

When Li Chunfeng saw that this wind and rain was coming, he suddenly came to his senses, and jumped up and down on the stage, and the people below saw this, thinking that Li Chunfeng's approach had been effective, and they were also excited.

It's just that this rain is not coming, but the wind is not stopping, gloomy and uncertain, but it is not raining, which makes Li Chunfeng, who is bouncing on the stage, very bitter and tired, while begging to hurry up and make it rain, while cursing God for playing tricks, if you want to fall, what are you doing with so much?

Li Chunfeng doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, these are all made up by them.

After jumping like this for about half an hour, Li Chunfeng's legs were a little weak, and finally he couldn't jump, and suddenly collapsed on the ground.

When the rain fell, everyone realized that Li Chunfeng fell to the ground because the rain was coming.

"God-man, Li Daochang is really a god-man."

"That's right, when he falls, the rain comes, he's not a man of God, who is who?"

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but no one left, they worshipped Li Chunfeng, a half-immortal, while enjoying the impact of the heavy rain, so happy.

But Li Chunfeng on the stage was secretly glad that the rain was coming, and it came in time, otherwise, his reputation in this life would be ruined.

The rain made the people of Chang'an City very excited, although Li Shimin was in the dormitory, but he also heard the sound of the rain, he sat up from the bed with difficulty and looked at the rain outside, and finally sighed.

When the rain falls, this Chang'an will be stable, and there is naturally no need to write the edict of guilt, God is really helping him.

However, Li Shimin also knows that it is not God or Li Chunfeng who really helped him, but Tang Zhou who mobilized the people to water the ground.

Now that it's raining, what is Tang Zhou doing?

When it rained, Tang Zhou was still building a reservoir and digging ditches with the people, and when the rain came down, all the people were boiling, and it was not easy for the rain to come, but fortunately they didn't give up, otherwise the crops in the field would be completely destroyed.

What's more, now that it's raining, it means that the previous drought was not a curse at all, maybe these are just normal weather conditions, as Tang Zhou said.

The rain is falling, the people are cheering, Tang Zhou is also very happy, this rain came in time, otherwise they still need to be busy for a few days to go to the field to fetch water to water the ground, so that they will be much easier, and they can build the reservoir as soon as possible.

In spite of the rains, the problems in the fields of the people have been solved, and if there are no more accidents, they will have a good harvest this year, and the reservoir and ditch will not seem necessary.

But even so, Tang Zhou and these tens of thousands of people did not give up this, if they worked hard now, then they would not have to worry about drought or flooding in the future, so even if they didn't have to worry about the crops in the field, they still invested faster.

And what Tang Zhou didn't expect was that more and more people would be involved.

In the past, although many people participated in watering, there were still many people who did not participate, these people were afraid of natural disasters, but after the natural disasters passed, they found out that there was any natural curse.

Because they don't have to worry about any damnation, there are more people who are willing to help, and these are all of their own volition.

More and more people came to help, and the reservoir and ditch were built faster, and by the beginning of autumn, they were almost built.

At the beginning of autumn, there was a heavy rain, and the reservoir and ditch were immediately stored after they were built.

It was a success that they had been working on for months, and the success they had worked on for a few months was enough for them and their descendants to no longer suffer from drought or flooding.

The hard work of these months is, in their opinion, worth it.

And just when everyone was immersed in the joy of the completion of the reservoir, the imperial court also received a good news.
