The soldiers on the pontoon bridge did not know why, but they still obeyed Wang Ju's order and immediately withdrew from the pontoon bridge.

"Evacuated in time," Zhang Mao said happily as he looked at the mud bag wai.

This is the function of the strange stone pond at the head of the canal.

It is like a fangs erected in the water, the mud bag dam does not open, and its effect cannot be seen, at most the water here is blocked, and it becomes slightly turbulent. But when the mud bag dam was opened, the water began to pour into the aqueduct, causing an immediate diversion effect.

The water collided with the fangs, creating a whirl, blocking the main stream of the water, and then carrying the main stream of the water to the whirlwind, and then crashing into the mudbag dam with a more powerful current.

As a water diversion, it plays a very good role, so that more Jing water can be held up into the diversion canal, and only with water can it be irrigated. But you can't set up a dam to block it, the first is a lot of money, the second technology is more complicated, and the third is still navigable here, a barrage dam has been set up, and the ship will sail in the future? Or make another lock, do you have the funds and technology?

That's why Wang Ju made this fang.

But at this moment, it is very dangerous.

Not long after the soldiers came down, the mud bag began to crumble. It was only about 20 minutes, and under the repeated impact of the water, there was a bang, and the mud bag wall collapsed on its own, and even dozens of wooden piles were forcibly washed up by the flood and poured into the aqueduct, not to mention the pontoon bridge above.

Hou Ke and Yang Pan were sweating on their foreheads, fortunately they had changed their minds in advance, otherwise according to the original abduction of the boat and the mud bags on the wooden stakes, it would be a big deal, at least half of the boat would be overturned by the water, and none of the soldiers on the boat would want to live.

However, the two recalled one thing again, some of the more important places, and the potentially dangerous sections of the canal, Wang Ju rode over every time to inspect carefully, and even let everyone turn over the work, it is really not good if you are not careful.

The water continued to tumble downstream, tossing and turning for a while, until the water level of the main and branch canals below was level with the various weirs, and the flow would be smooth again.

At that moment, the first loud bang was heard in the distance.

Zhang Mao looked suspiciously in the direction of the sound, and Wang Ju explained: "Envoy Zhang, this is a special firecracker, and the level is installed in the sand storage pond, if it is flat, there will be two consecutive sounds." ”

"That's good."

In fact, they didn't need to look at it, many people cheered, chased Jingshui, and ran down the main canal.

"Let's go down and have a look." Zhang Mao said.

"Okay."

The group rode down the canal.

Coming to the gate of moderation, Wang Ju pointed to the water gauge carved in stone on the side of the steep gate and said: "Originally, Yang Gou planned to use water turtles as water rules, but I took into account the current financial difficulties, in order to save money, I used this simple water gauge instead. No specific number has been engraved yet. The water has just been put in, and the water must be put into the repaired branch canals in time. However, the steep gates downstream are closed together, and after the branch canals are full, the water is opened and closed with the steep gates, and the weirs are introduced into each weir so that when the water level is still high, the weirs can be filled as much as possible. In this way, there will be irrigation water until the beginning of spring next year. And at that time, the water level drop was not large, and an observation record was made. When it comes to the autumn water and Yiping, make another observation record. When the winter is dry, make another record. Then you can get the exact height of each water level, and you can also engrave the exact number jù on the water gauge. After all, the original kind of measurement will definitely produce some errors. With this number, you can adjust the water of the entire Zhengbai Canal in the future. ”

"Wang Pingshi, you are very careful in your work."

Zhang Mao said appreciatively, although Wang Juka clicked a few people, but such a big project, including the excavation of the Sui Cave, did not kill a single man and soldier, which is not easy.

"How can you not be careful when you do things for the official family."

The group continued to gallop down to the sand storage tank.

The water level drop is a bit large, and the river is still tumbling in the direction of the main canal and various branch canals of Xiaozhengquan.

However, due to the slow flow of the huge sand storage tank, it is not as turbulent as the aqueduct.

That is to say, the water level drop in the future is not large, Jingshui will become very gentle when it reaches here, and the purpose of siltation can be achieved, after precipitation here, the river water will still be turbid, there will still be sediment, but it will not be as turbid as the current Jingshui.

"This sand tank is well set up."

"Let's take a look over there." Wang Ju took him to the northwest.

The branch canal here leads to the water control, which is what Wang Ju called the high-water irrigation area in the cantata.

The water flows lower, so there is still not much water flowing into the branch canal here.

But some murky water poured in.

There were some people lying on the shore, looking at each other with their eyes.

It's a little better to the southeast, but here, I'm afraid that many areas haven't seen the river for hundreds of years, or they have seen some small mountain streams and rain falling from the sky, and what will be the harvest.

As the water from the canal gradually increased, some old people were so excited that they cried.

If you want to be rich, you must first build roads, but if you want to live, you must have water.

"Ganquan," Zhang Mao said.

"It's a pity that I didn't go any further," Hou Ke said.

If the second plan he mentioned is followed, the head of the canal will be moved up a dozen miles, and the area benefiting will be even greater.

"Hou Zhixian, be content." Wang Ju said. Although his plan is good, how many mountains are there over there? It's not that it's more than ten miles up, I don't know that this move will move out millions of dollars, and the imperial court has so much money!

Zheng Baiqu injected water, and another trouble came.

…………

"I was walking down the street just now, and someone was using that kid to kill a few people to gamble." Xu Yuanwai said.

Once the canal was in place, the division of the fields began.

So some people in Jingyang City used Wang Juhui to kill a few people to gamble, the lowest odds were about a dozen people, the highest was more than fifty people, and the second was not to kill one person.

Why is there such a odds, the shape is obvious, these people don't bow their heads, Wang Ju has to deal with it with tough means, and this treatment must be killed.

But they are gentry, not Western Xia people, it is estimated that they will kill some people, but they will not bleed like a river, in that case, Wang Ju will not be able to make a difference. So someone actually offered odds to kill more than 50 people, but at the top, the odds are also very high, that is, the probability is extremely small.

It is also possible not to kill, but it is extremely unlikely that they will not kill, even less than the chance of killing forty people. If you don't kill people, can you divide the land?

After Xu Yuanwai saw it, he went up and asked, but as soon as he saw him coming, they looked at him with pity.

It's hard to say who you killed, and it may not necessarily kill Xu Yuanwai, but they are all leading people, and the possibility of being killed is extremely high.

After Xu Yuanwai learned the truth, he was a little instigated.

"It's better than this, I heard that the imperial court sent a lieutenant envoy to come down to check, how about our feedback to the envoy?"

"Xu Yuanwai, what are you going to say to the Chinese envoy? No, the hidden fields must be given to us, and the fields that we have circled must be given to us. Does it work? When has it been, but you have come to regret it, and you want to trap us? Li Yuanwai asked.

He took a few more steps and continued to ask: "No, Brother Xu, you can't do this anyway, if you do, it really gives that kid a reason and opportunity to do something to us." And everyone, you also have to think clearly, if you do, we must unite as one, otherwise anyone leaks it, and we will all die without a place to bury. He wants to divide the field, he must have a field book, and he must take the field book before he can do anything to us, but we gritted our teeth, he has no evidence, we are also people with face in Jingyang, some people can even say that it is an official household, or it is related to the official household, he really doesn't ask about the indiscriminate and kills people indiscriminately? But if you are timid, then we will take the morning rest, obediently obey his arrangement, and redistribute the land to us according to the acres of land in the field book. ”

At this time, this can only be the result.

Even if you want to divide an extra acre of land, that's impossible.

Think about the actual farmland of these people, how heavy will the loss be? As the water flows into the various branch canals, these lands will be the first-rate fertile fields in Guanzhong in the future, a cornucopia.

"Li Yuanwai, let's do it according to our original plan."

As soon as Li Yuanwai said this, everyone no longer hesitated and made up their minds.

"Think again."

"I don't want to."

"That's it, I'm ready for everyone."

“……”

"That's good, tonight is the best time to do it. Everyone was happy when the water was released at the head of the canal, and the officials were still eating wine with the envoy. And I also heard the news that the boy sent the officers and soldiers of the 51st Battalion to divide the fields. It's a lot of fields, but as for dividing the fields with 20,000 people? ”

More than two dozen people also had expressions of deep hatred on their faces.

That's disgusting.

"The reason why he did it, that is, fast. The fields have been distributed to each family, and it has become an established fact that the fields are registered, who else can we go to? ”

Li Yuanwai's statement is just one of the reasons.

In fact, Wang Ju used so many sergeants to divide the field, not only because he wanted to divide the field quickly, but also because he wanted to plant a season of winter wheat. If we delay any longer, the winter wheat planting season will be missed.

Besides, Suizhou is pushed by itself, and I don't know what it will become?

But his official position is low, he is not well-informed, and there is no way to calculate, so Wang Ju is very anxious, and he can't wait to complete all the Zhengbai Canal this year and plant winter wheat.

However, these two items, these people can't dream.

The two dozen or so began to deliberate again.

In fact, there are many people who are watching their actions in the shadows.

It is those who show loyalty to Wang Ju, they are really so "loyal", if Wang Ju wins beautifully, then they will continue to be "loyal", if Wang Ju is defeated, then they don't mind immediately defecting.

Therefore, the water is released from the head of the canal, and the water reaches the branch canals smoothly, and the price of the field can be said to have risen by at least three or four times in one day, and the house price by the wharf has increased by at least five times.

However, in this strange atmosphere, although many ordinary people inside and outside the city were very happy, there was no celebratory firecrackers.

When night fell, Wang Ju rode back, but Zhang Mao stayed in the city to rest.

After a tiring day, everyone slept soundly.

The night is getting deeper.

In the city, there was the sound of the three watchmen of the husband, as well as a few weak calls: "The sky is dry, be careful of the fire candle." ”

More than 20 figures came out of Li Yuanwai's house and quickly approached the county office.

The leader looked around and said, "Go in." ”

Instead of entering the county office, he climbed over the courtyard wall and sneaked into the front of the account room. The two of them sneaked into the entrance room, and listened to the inside, the old porter had also fallen asleep, and there was a snoring sound in the room.

The two stepped back and made a gesture, and everyone immediately dived to a few windows, the door was locked, and the key was in the hands of the old porter.

But there is a way, and that is to pry open the windows.

Someone took out a tool, and in a few moments, two windows were pried open.

There are many shelves inside, and on the shelves are many books, mainly individual account books, and a small number of papers. There are not only the field books collected by Wang Ju, but also other account books, including some old accounts.

More than two dozen people rummaged through the faint moonlight.

After searching for a while, I finally found the field book.

"That's it." One said.

Several people immediately brought a copy of the Honda book, spilled sulfur and other flammable materials from their arms, and then carefully ignited the tongue of fire to set the field book on fire.

"Withdraw."

More than 20 people had just climbed out of the courtyard wall, but they were all stunned, and there were one officer and soldier after another standing outside.

"What's going on?"

Before they could figure it out, the officers and soldiers rushed up and held them down.

But these officers and soldiers arrived too late.

The fire inside began to grow so big that it was too late to save it.

Zhang Mao was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by the noise outside. When he saw the raging fire outside, he put on his clothes in surprise, walked over, and saw Hou Kezheng directing the people to put out the fire.

"What's on fire?"

"Someone set it on purpose."

"Where's the burn?"

"Accounts."

"Ledger ...... That's terrible," Zhang Mao suddenly screamed: "Are those field books also burned?" ”

When eating and drinking in the evening, Zhang Mao deliberately asked Wang Ju how to deal with it, and Wang Ju replied that it can't be dealt with according to Haoqiang's enclosure, so don't deal with it. Appropriate compensation can only be made according to the field register.

It's a little inseparable.

Zhang Mao came down to the task this time as an observer and recorder.

That is, let's take a look, including the situation of the canal after the water is released, including how many fields can be irrigated after the bottom is poured down, and how these fields are divided.

Look at it, keep it in mind, or bring a few envoys' concerts, and then go back to the palace to report.

But he is not an executor and therefore has no right to meddle.

But he didn't want to meddle, as long as he wasn't a fool, he knew that it was extremely tricky.

I looked at it during the day and it seems to be doing well.

Of course, this is only the situation of the water, and the situation of the land behind it, it can't be good. Actually, as long as it's not too much, it's good.

In the middle, Tian Shu is the key.

Hou Ke didn't speak with a gloomy face, and continued to command everyone to fight the fire, not far behind the account room, there was a warehouse, which couldn't be burned anymore.

The fire gradually decreased, but at this moment, all the gentry in the city were alarmed.

"The county government is on fire?"

"It's not the county government that caught fire, it's the account room that caught fire, but the county government also burned down."

"The county government has burned down, so the account office is not all burned down?"

"That's it."

Then their eyes lit up together. R1152
