Zhang Qi came to the county government again, a small county, how many official duties can there be, he is not afraid of delaying Wang Ju to deal with official business, come to chat, and wait for that Hu Qian to come back by the way.

However, the official said that Wang Ju took the county lieutenant Bo and went down to deal with the dispute between the water source of Qingcun and Wu Village in the southeast of Huachi County.

Zhang Qi didn't think of anything else, after all, Wang Ju was the magistrate of Huachi.

But he was also curious about how Wang Ju did things, so he said, "How do Qingcun and Wu Village go?" ”

The official pointed out the direction, and Zhang Qi looked for it himself.

Farther than he thought, nearly ten miles away, they rode a donkey and walked for a while before they arrived, just in time to see Wang Ju summoning the surnames of the two villages and listening to the surnames.

Zhang Qi walked over, greeted Wang Ju, Qiu County Lieutenant, and Du Zhubo, and also sat on the stone next to listen.

The villagers of the two villages said that the public reason, and the mother-in-law said the mother-in-law's reason. There is no way to do this, the vast majority of Shaanxi is short of water, although Gyeongju is a little better than the security army, it is also short of water.

Often in order to fight for water sources, the surnames of the two villages can fight with weapons. Including Wu Village and Qing Village.

This public case has accumulated for more than ten years, but none of the magistrates have handled it well.

Wang Ju listened for a long time and said, "Fellow villagers, don't worry, let me think of a way." ”

Then he took Quan Erchang, Qiu County Lieutenant, and Du Zhubo to inspect the terrain of the cultivated land in the two villages.

Zhang Qi also followed Wang Ju and looked behind him, without asking Hu Qian.

First, there is no need to ask.

The second chief brought Hu Qian back, and Hu Qian may not be the murderer, but if he can't bring it back, Hu Qian escaped, he must be the murderer, and the case will be solved, and the responsibility for arrest has nothing to do with him.

The second is that values are not viewed.

Wang Ju, regardless of the values of his previous life or what he encountered in the early part of this life, made him not look down on poor surnames, let alone military generals who could fight.

Zhang Qi lives in a family of eunuchs, not to mention his uncle as a prime minister, his father is also an official, he has a worry-free life, more or less a sense of superiority, and he will not disdain the generals, but he will not respect them.

No matter who is right and who is wrong, but the big case, besides, Sun Wei is pursuing it, Wang Ju can't offend Sun Chu now, so I can't imagine that Wang Ju will shield a temporary little capital.

"Da Lang, do you want to build a water weir?" Quan Erchang walked for a while and asked.

Wang Ju nodded, it is not so easy to build a water weir, you have to choose the terrain first, and there are still many troubles behind. Zhang Qi listened curiously in the back, don't think that a county can do much, especially a small county like Huachi County, if Wang Ju is not ambitious and does not participate in the military, he can often be idle in a panic, even if building a water weir is also a big deal.

Either it is very sad, like Lin Zhixian, who encountered the murder of Zhao Dutou, and the boss was unwilling to close the case hastily, which can be regarded as unlucky.

After watching it for a long time, Wang Ju walked to the village again and walked around the two villages.

Although the Song Dynasty was densely populated, it would not be like later generations, especially the current Huachi County, which still belongs to a vast and sparsely populated area, even if the two villages are behind Fengchi Town and Huachi Town. Therefore, the two villages are also very far away, a full four miles.

It was approaching dusk.

Wang Ju gathered the surnames of the two villages again and said, "Everyone come with me." ”

Take everyone to a low-lying saline-alkali land, there is a small river in front of it, which belongs to a tributary of Huachi water, the flood season has enough water, but in the dry season the river water will shrink sharply, the two villages are fighting for this water source, for which there have been several large-scale PK, it is about to become a feud.

Wang Ju asked: "That is Wu Qing Wu Yuanwai, which is Zhang Mei Zhang Yuanwai?" ”

Two middle-aged people walked out and said, "Wang Zhixian, the small one is, but he doesn't dare to take on the role of a member." ”

Outsiders are rich or prestigious people.

Wang Ju was in the two villages just now, and now the houses of the two families are the best, by the way, the two families are indeed the best economic conditions in the village, and the two families have more arable land.

However, it can only be said that the conditions in these two villages are good, but they cannot be called large households.

"You sit next to me. Folks, grabbing water is not the solution after all, you ask the government to deal with it, how does the government deal with it, is it biased towards Wu Village or Qingcun? But why can't it be done the other way? ”

"Wang Zhixian, what method?" Someone bold asked.

"Build a water weir, you see this saline-alkali land, there are more than two acres of size, and can not grow crops, if you build a diversion canal, and then build a weir dam and a steep gate, the river water will be brought in during the flood season, at that time everyone is not short of water, even if the water is diverted and stored, other villages will not have opinions. But in the dry season, there is a weir that can be irrigated. ”

"Wang Zhixian, you have a good idea, but what kind of money do we have?"

A small reservoir must have an inlet canal, an outlet canal and a weir dam, and a solid reservoir must even use a stone dam, so don't mention it, but without a stone dam, rammed earth can also be used as a weir, and the water level is not deep, and the requirements for the weir are not high.

This is mainly labor, and the two villages of labor can think of a way, but there is one more thing, that is, the steep gate. This is still a small reservoir, but it is much larger than the one in Wangjiazhai, and in order to divert water to the cultivated fields of the two villages, several steep gates must be built.

This steep gate will have to ask for money.

Wang Ju pressed his hand and asked the person with the loudest voice, "That brother, what's your name?" ”

"My name is Zhang Silong." The man replied with a grin.

In this military parade, most of the officers and men in the army did not dare to despise Wang Ju, and the officials of Huachi County also did not dare to despise him.

However, Qingcun and Wucun are in the rear, and they are rural, and the news is blocked, and Wang Ju's situation is not clear, so what he sees is that Wang Ju is peaceful and young, and that person is not afraid.

"Zhang Silong, if you have money, you can build a water weir? The official asks you, if I give you two dollars, can you build this weir? ”

"Zhixian, the little ones don't understand."

"That is, you have been complaining that the government didn't care about it before, not that it didn't care, but that the previous governors didn't understand. But it just so happens that I know a thing or two about this official's luck. ”

Everyone understands that not only money, but if Wang Ju does not come, even if he has money, it may not be built.

It is mainly a war zone, and when the war is in danger, Sima Guang once cried out in pain, and the world is declining, and even the peddlers and pawns can wear silk and stockings. It's really weird, people don't steal and don't rob, why can't they wear stockings? Are these people really lowly people? This reflects two problems, one is that Sima Guang's mentality is really bad. The second is that the life of the surname in the Song Dynasty was indeed much better than that of other dynasties.

However, this one is much better and has nothing to do with the surname Huachi.

The more backward it is, the more it is blocked, so who knows how to water conservancy in Huachi?

Zhang Qi smiled slightly, in fact, Wang Ju is telling everyone, after this village, there is no such shop, now do not repair the water weir, the Song Dynasty officials are frequently transferred, and Wang Ju is transferred away, and he can't repair it if he wants to, so everyone should cooperate.

Wu Qing asked on the side: "Ming Gong, then what should we do?" It is true that the surnames of both villages are very poor, and they still have to pay taxes. ”

"Don't say it, I know everything, and don't call me Ming Gong, just call me Wang Zhixian." Ming Gong is a name for the chief or a respected elder, but I am not old yet, what is the name of the Gong.

"I called you two out alone because I had been in your two villages once, and now you two are in the best condition."

"We don't have much money either," Wu Qing and Zhang Mei immediately complained at the same time.

"Listen to me, in fact, as long as you are careful in your calculations, it doesn't cost much money, you take out half of it, and the remaining half will be shared equally by the villagers, don't frown and wait for the official to finish speaking. Why is saline-alkali land mostly in low-lying areas? ”

Wu Qing and Zhang Mei shook their heads at the same time.

"The reason is simple, the water flows everywhere, once it encounters a heavy rain, a large amount of rainwater will rush to the low-lying places to gather, and then flow from the low-lying places to the rivers, and the rainwater also brings sediment and mud, but they are not static, but flowing, so the soil diluted into the rainwater does not precipitate, but sweeps away the soil in the low-lying land, but precipitates the heavier sediment, so the low-lying places often produce saline-alkali land."

"Wang Zhixian is right." The truth is a simple truth, but if you don't say it, how many people think about it.

"Wu Yuanwai, Zhang Yuanwai, this official asks again, is there more sand or mud in this turbid river."

This is simple, and the two immediately replied: "There is a lot of mud." ”

The big drama came, and Wang Ju said: "Yes, there is always more mud than sand, but mud and water are easy to precipitate." So the bed of the Yellow River is getting higher and higher, and although the mud rushes into the sea, the river sand settles. So every time the Yellow River floods, the river roars and roars away, scraping away the thin loam and mud in the flooded area, but leaving the hateful river sand behind, which creates a lot of saline-alkali land. But I also heard that Cheng Shimeng, a famous minister at the time of Renzong, did something in Hedong, and he did the opposite. Accumulate the turbid water discharged from the flash flood to make it flow slowly, or close to a static state, and after the flash flood, the sun is exposed to the sun and the river is steamed, so what is left? ”

"Mud and sand." Not only Wu Qing and Zhang Mei, but also other villagers replied at the same time.

"Yes, it's mud and sand, but there is very little actual sand, and fertile silt is the main body, so Cheng Gong took the surname Hedong to get five hectares of fertile silt fields. Originally, one mu could get five or seven buckets of grain a year, which increased to two shuo, and the land price also skyrocketed from the original two thousand. ”

Maybe Wu Qing and Zhang Mei haven't understood yet, and Wang Ju doesn't sell it: "Wu Yuanwai, Zhang Yuanwai, many rivers in Hedong are turbid, and so is Huachi, and most rivers have become turbid, especially when there are flash floods." Therefore, even if this weir is built, sooner or later it will be silted up, and then this desolate saline land will become fertile soil. The official asked you to pay half of the cost to build the weir, but the actual cost is only a few times. But the magistrate may make a covenant with the villagers for you, and then silt it up, and the fertile land obtained shall be apportioned according to the tariff. ”

More out, more out.

There are really a lot of people who are excited.

However, another young man asked aloud: "What about irrigation after silting?" ”

"In fact, it is not difficult to build a weir, the main thing is that you don't understand, this official will teach you how to build it this year, and if it is built, everyone understands, you can imitate it and build it." With so many desolate places, can't you choose a place to build a weir? Let's think about it. ”

Wang Ju asked everyone to think.

Zhang Qi suddenly pulled Wang Ju aside and said, "Great merit." ”

ps: One Shuo is one Hu, ten buckets, volume units. There are many mountains in Hedong and little land, and the silt fields presided over by Cheng Shimeng are in Jiangzhou, so the land price is expensive, but Shaanxi is different, and it may only be a quarter of it. But it also depends on the fact that if it is the border of Hedong, the land price will be cheap again.
