Chapter 1184: Long Vine and Melons (Four Changes)
Yang Ruoqing came out to play a round: "He is a general who leads his troops to fight, and the most drawn and seen is the map."
"Mu Zichuan, you don't have to compare your own shortcomings with his strengths, everyone has their own areas that they are good at and are not good at!"
"Well, that's right, Qing'er is right!" Luo Fengtang hurriedly said.
Mu Zichuan also smiled and nodded.
His eyes returned to the drawings in front of him, and said to Yang Ruoqing: "If you want disaster relief, you must first control the water."
"Qing'er, you have a flexible brain. How to control the water, I have to ask you to help me! ”
"I don't know, do you have a well-thought-out strategy in mind?"
Hearing Mu Zichuan's question, Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.
"Of course I have a strategy for controlling the water. But ......"
She deliberately sold a pass: "I don't know if you want to listen to the next policy, the middle policy, or the best policy?"
"Huh?"
Mu Zichuan's eyes widened, and Luo Fengtang was also stunned.
Mu Zichuan hurriedly said: "Listen to the best policy first!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "I personally suggest, you should listen to the next policy first, why pinch it?" Because if you can't make a decision, the best strategy will be even more useless! ”
Mu Zichuan said: "It's okay, Qing'er, you say it quickly, I'll listen to you!"
Yang Ruoqing nodded and began to talk about her strategy.
"Here's what I think:"
Her thin fingers dotted and drew on the drawing in front of her.
"Water control and water control, blocking is better than sparse."
"Let's divert all the stagnant water in our area from these rivers and ditches."
"Drive them to this big river to the east, and the water of this big river is connected to the Wanjiang River."
"The Wanjiang River flows all the way east into the sea." She said.
Mu Zichuan looked at the river marked on the drawings carefully, and said: "The idea is not bad, I just want to divert the stagnant water here into the big river over there, and the canals that we are circulating now are not enough?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "If you want to dredge it, it is definitely not enough to rely on these existing rivers."
"So we're going to have to dig a canal and get to the big river." She said.
Mu Zichuan pondered: "To dig the canal, you have to organize manpower, and this will be a big project."
Yang Ruoqing said: "In my upper, middle and lower three strategies, I have to dig rivers and canals, and I have to use a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, which is inevitable."
The soil, the water, if you can walk on your own, do you still need to hurt these brains?
Mu Zichuan should have thought of her going together, and he nodded approvingly.
"Qing'er, your strategy is good, why do you want to make it the next one?" He asked again.
"I'd like to hear what you think is lacking in this strategy?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled.
Raise two fingers: "Two main aspects."
"One, we dug a canal and drained the stagnant water here."
"When the sun comes out and the summer continues, the earth will be dry, and maybe we will have to usher in another drought when the late rice is planted."
"The second is, let's drive all our water to the big river over there, so that the water level of the big river will rise rapidly."
"It has caused secondary damage to farmland and villages on both sides of the riverbank."
"If the houses in this area are only half flooded, and if they don't do it, they will have to flood the roof, which is undoubtedly a palliative but not a cure, so I will make a decision." She said.
Mu Zichuan pondered the truth of this seriously, and nodded secretly, it was really so!
"Then Qing'er, I want to hear about the middle strategy." He said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "The middle policy is very simple, that is, on the basis of the next policy, make a little change."
"Oh?" Mu Zichuan raised his eyebrows.
If I have been attracted to her in the past two years, it is because of her unique personality and her beautiful face that has transformed a little bit.
So now, her wisdom also impresses him!
"What kind of changes?" He asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Long vines and melons."
"How?" He became even more curious.
On the side, Luo Fengtang also pricked up his ears and listened with relish.
Yang Ruoqing said: "The canal we want to dig is a vine, let's dig next to the edge of the canal, and then dig some hairy ponds that are about the same size as Uncle Luo's fish pond behind the village, that is, melons."
"We can drain the water along the canal into the ponds along the river, and first, we can drain the water more quickly and share the pressure of the river."
"Moreover, the water melon that can be used as a reservoir of water in the maotang pond, when the drought comes, there will be no rain for ten days and a half months, and we are not afraid of crops and people and animals dying of thirst!"
"What do you think of this?" She asked.
Mu Zichuan and Luo Fengtang both made contemplative gestures.
Then, Luo Fengtang stroked his palms and said excitedly: "Long vines and melons, this method is good, drought and flood to ensure harvest!"
Mu Zichuan also nodded again and again: "That's right, it's really a double method, but in this way, the amount of work will be larger."
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "A sheep is a herding, and a flock of sheep is also a herding."
"Since we have to organize people to dig canals, then dig a few hairy ponds to store water by the way, and that's it."
Luo Fengtang said: "The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, the big guys will take a lot of effort this time, and in the future, it will benefit the township and future generations!"
Mu Zichuan groaned, and a determined light flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, then I'll leave for the county seat tomorrow and give this water control strategy to the two Qincha lords!" He said.
Hearing this, Luo Fengtang was surprised.
"What? Didn't you send us down to control the water? What's the rule, you can't have the final say? ”
Mu Zichuan is embarrassed.
He rubbed his hands together and said, "I'm ashamed."
"The saint sent Xu, Zhang, and the two lords to Qing'an County for the ministers to treat the flood and relieve the disaster."
"I am a protégé of Lord Zhang, and I am a native of Wanghai, so Lord Zhang will take me with him."
"He is busy presiding over the overall situation, so he will hand over the water control matters in this area of Qingshui Town to me."
"Therefore, this water control strategy, I have to go back and report it to him." Mu Zichuan patiently explained.
Luo Fengtang suddenly realized, "I see, then I will row you to the town tomorrow, and when you get to the town, you should be able to take a carriage to the county seat." ”
Mu Zichuan nodded: "Then there is Lao Tang and you."
Luo Fengtang smiled heartily and waved his hand: "Hey, tell me what are you doing, you are doing things for the villagers and making good fortune, of course I want to help you."
On the side, Yang Ruoqing opened her mouth again.
"By the way, Mu Zichuan, I have long heard from the villagers that you were taken in by a big official in the capital, and you were accepted as a protégé."
"That official is the minister of the Imperial Mission this time, right?" Again, she confirmed.
Mu Zichuan nodded: "Well, exactly."
A trace of gossip ignited in Yang Ruoqing's eyes.
"It's inconvenient to reveal, that Lord Qincha Zhang, how big an official has he been in the capital?" She asked again.
Mu Zichuan was stunned, but she didn't expect that she was going to ask about this.
"The teacher is a scholar of the Huagai Temple, one of the three elders of the cabinet." Mu Zichuan said.
There is also a double identity, and he doesn't plan to tell Yang Ruoqing for the time being.
The mentor is Lord Zhang, and he is still the prince of the prince.
