In addition, a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources must be mobilized to invest in the construction of water conservancy projects. It takes time to prepare and convene multiple parties. Naturally, Sikong and Water Supervisor need to contribute, while Zheng Quchi is responsible for the design, budget, and construction alone. various organizational functions.
She was really tired. In just half a month, she felt as if she had spent a year of her life. She got up earlier than a chicken, went to bed later than a dog, and worked more than an ox every day. Finally, she had the first stage of sex. Results.
For other things, an official responsibility system is implemented, and they coordinate and arrange tasks. For example, a large number of ruins, sand, mud, and garbage in the planned area need to be cleared first, which requires a lot of labor.
Zheng Quchi proposed that a unit of 2,000 people should go ahead to clean up and arrange things. Land transportation was inconvenient, so he just adapted to local conditions and used river transportation to arrange the wood, stone, etc. to the corresponding places. However, it was necessary to build a ferry on the corresponding river in advance. Unload goods.
In this way, transportation time and cost can be effectively solved.
After arranging and negotiating matters related to Shengjing, Zheng Quchi took his subordinates and set off for Canngling County soon after.
When he arrived in Canling County, Zheng Quchi discovered that the ruined town had now become something of a present. There were building materials such as sand, soil, stone, bamboo, and reeds piled around it. People turned into workers in the construction brigade and worked enthusiastically to build their homes. under construction.
As soon as she arrived, Magistrate Qian heard about it and came to Zheng Quchi's side as soon as he appeared. He saw that his sleeves and trousers were all tied up, wearing a pair of straw sandals and a bamboo hat on his head to protect him from the sun. His face and body were all covered in gray.
...Did he go to the fields or move bricks?
"Mr. Zheng, when did you arrive? Come on, don't stay outside. The weather is really hot today. Come with me to the yamen's backyard to drink some herbal tea to relieve the heat."
It's summer, and the sun is shining brightly, making people sweat all over even if they don't move, let alone when they move around.
Zheng Quchi wiped the sweat from his forehead: "We just arrived. I'm afraid I'll have to bother Magistrate Qian again in the days to come."
County Magistrate Qian was overjoyed when he heard this: "No, Master Zheng is also working for the welfare of our Canngling County. It's too late for the official and the people in the county to be happy. I'm afraid I will neglect you."
The two of them were talking while walking towards the inner courtyard of the yamen that had been cleared out. A large piece of bamboo was planted inside the gray-yellow brick wall. The green leaves rustled gently in the wind, and the cool shadow instantly made people feel hot and dry. It has faded a lot.
"How long will Mr. Zheng stay in Canling County this time?"
"I'm not sure, but I can't tell you how many months it will take. The preliminary preparations need constant supervision and be alert to changes. Furthermore, I need to have a good trip around the Jinghe River and its branches. On the one hand, I need to understand the specific conditions of each river section in detail, and on the other hand, I need to carefully understand the specific conditions of each river section. Let’s decide on the location of Shui Ze Monument.”
Hearing her hard work, Qian County Magistrate couldn't help but advise: "The weather is so hot now, why bother to go there personally? Why don't you just leave it to your subordinates?"
Zheng Quchi smiled: "Of course it's different. Magistrate Qian doesn't have to worry about me. I'm tired and hot. I naturally know how to rest and won't show off."
Magistrate Qian couldn't stay too long and delayed her rest. Besides, he was really busy with something. After arranging the guest room for her with the officials who would be in charge, he resigned and went to do other things.
As soon as he left, a sturdy figure sneaked into the bamboo bush. He pulled off his thick cloak and frowned: "The weather is getting hotter."
Zheng Quchi sat behind the desk and glanced up: "Gan Xin, can you follow me through the main entrance? If people see you, they will think you are a thief."
"In this poor and shabby little county, I guess the thieves will leave in tears when they come. I walked around but there was not even a running inn, let alone a restaurant." He complained full of dissatisfaction.
"Canling County has just suffered from floods. The government is organizing all the people to work hard to build it. I think it will take a while for things to return to normal. Don't go out to live. Stay with me in the county government office."
Gan Xin didn't say anything for a while. After a while, he said, "I'll stay with you. Aren't you afraid that others will look at you strangely?"
Zheng Quchi was lowering his head and writing something. When he heard this, he replied naturally: "What am I afraid of? You are very good. Besides, since I dare to accept you as my disciple, I am not afraid of the eyes of the world."
Gan Xin's expression was stunned for a moment, then he pursed his lips and said roughly, "I'm going to go out first."
He was rude and dissolute by nature and never tabooed words, but in front of Zheng Quchi, he would always subconsciously restrain his vulgar and wanton side.
"Where to go?"
When Zheng Quchi looked up, he found that he had disappeared. He came back in the evening.
When he came back this time, Zheng Quchi had his glasses broken, and she exclaimed: "You, you were snatched away?"
Gan Xin was speechless and complained: "Master, stop reading those nonsense dramas in the market."
"But why did you change your appearance and cleanse your face? Where is your knife? Where is your crazy knife?"
After returning from a trip, Gan Xin no longer wore his murderous black cloak, but instead wore a dark blue robe of an ordinary man. The stubble on his face was cleanly shaved, and the iconic madness on his back was The knife was gone, and he was standing there as fresh as a pine tree, as if he was a completely different person.
"The knife is temporarily sealed... Is it weird for me to be like this?" Gan Xin touched his smooth chin and said awkwardly and angrily: "It's weird, it's weird. Anyway, I'm used to others treating me as a murderer."
"No, no, no, it's not strange. You are very energetic. You are now like that martial arts master who is very powerful and not easy to mess with." Zheng Quchi praised vigorously.
Of course, if you don't meet his fierce eyes.
He doubted: "Seriously?"
"Seriously." She nodded heavily.
Now Gan Xin was happy again: "Then I, a disciple like me, don't think I'm insulting you, right?"
Zheng Quchi was startled when she heard this, she frowned and said, "Why do you think so?"
He was a peerless master of the contemporary Crazy Sword, and he became a disciple of a little girl like her. It was obvious that she had taken advantage of it, so why did he lose his confidence?
In fact, Zheng Quchi didn't know that Gan Xin had changed his appearance and washed away his gangster aura. He just wanted to stay by her side and not cause any criticism.
Gan Xin followed her along the way and heard all the people praising her and treating her as someone they admired. He went out for a walk and heard many people talking about her deeds. It can be said that she This person is always regarded as a great person by others wherever he goes, doing good deeds and doing good deeds.
He once heard someone say that if a person does something that benefits himself, this is human nature, if it benefits relatives and friends, it is called generosity, if it benefits unrelated people, it is called kindness.
Regardless of oneself, if the benefit is beneficial to the masses, then he is called a meritorious person.
He has killed countless people, and he dare not say that all the people he killed deserve to die. Therefore, Gan Xin also knows that he has a strong blood evil spirit. Although the world will talk about him, they are all afraid and disgusted, wishing that he was like this The scourge left this world early.
A blood-stained person like him, standing next to a virtuous person like her, would occasionally have the feeling that he had polluted the "pure land".
He had been living like a madman for more than thirty years, and this was the first time he had such a strange and absurd mentality, but, he just couldn't control it.
"Okay, stop talking. I'm right outside. You can hear me if you call me."
He easily jumped to the bamboo outside the window, and then used his strength to fly to the eaves and lie down. After nightfall, the roof was cooler.
Zheng Quchi thought for a moment, got up and walked to the window. She didn't know if he could hear her. She said: "I feel very honored and proud to have you as my disciple, Crazy Sword. I don't have much ability. If I meet some If you bully me without a long-sightedness, I might not even be able to protect myself, but if I tell you your name immediately, I don’t believe that your vicious reputation can scare them away."
After finishing the conversation that was half serious and half joking, there was no reply for a long time. When Zheng Quchi was about to leave the window, he heard him say: "I will remember it."
If someone really dares to bully her without risking his life, he will take revenge on her behalf even if his mad knife goes all over the nine continents.
——
After resting for a night, Zheng Quchi went out in high spirits the next day. She brought enough food and water and mounted her horse, taking only her super bodyguard and disciple Gan Xin with her. The two of them walked up the river.
Along the way, he would meet water officers patrolling the river from time to time. At this time, Zheng Quchi would always stop to inquire and discuss with them, and take a look at their relevant records. After walking and walking like this, he finally came to Jingyang Town in Chengyang Town. The branch of the river is in the Qingyuan area.
She saw a large number of laborers working hard to dig out the dikes that were in disrepair. There were also people using simple tools such as long mud bags and long-handled bucket spoons on wooden boats or bamboo rafts to scoop out sediment from the bottom of the water.
"what are they doing?"
“Old dykes are being rebuilt and river channels are dug and dredged to prevent flooding and improve water flow conditions.”
"What?"
Seeing that he didn't understand, Zheng Quchi explained in more detail: "A water officer once came to this section and simply built a dam, but the effect was not good. I plan to dig canals, open mountains, dredge the river, and achieve the purpose of water control in this section by diverting the water and intercepting it." , and then go forward two or three kilometers and build another weir dam on the upper reaches of the river in Qingyuan...Okay, let's continue walking up."
"Since you already know the terrain up here, why do you need to make this trip?"
The weather is so hot, her delicate little face has been red and dry in the past two days, and the sweat on her body has been wet and dry, dry and wet, over and over again. The journey is far away and she has to cross mountains and ridges. She is so petite How does the body possess such an unyielding and tenacious spirit?
"On the map, you can only see the general appearance, but when you take this trip, you can know it more carefully. Sometimes the difference is just a tiny bit, and the difference is thousands of miles. Naturally, this trip has its value. I have discovered it. Some errors."
"Want to continue?"
"Of course, let's go."
"good."
It took Zheng Quchi and Gan Xin nearly ten days to return to Canling County. The journey was slower when they went there, but they were in a hurry when they returned. When they arrived in Canling County, she went straight to the guest room to modify her previous drawings. .
After repeatedly surveying the terrain and water sources, she had a clearer idea and redesigned the river course and construction procedures. A thick stack of engineering drawings fell like snowflakes. In addition, she spent nearly half of A sand model was completed in a month.
A month later, the preparatory work for the early stage of the project was basically in place, which heralded the official launch of the Cangling Dayan Water Conservancy Project in Canling County.
Before the official start of construction, Zheng Quchi invited Sikong, Hequguan, Water Supervisor and his subordinate officials Hechang, Zhangqu and others for a meeting.
The theme of the conference is to adhere to comprehensive policies and systematic management around everything.
Zheng Quchi gave a shocking explanation of the water conservancy project in front of Sikong.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she stated the key points: "This project consists of three projects: water diversion project, overflow and sand removal project, and water diversion project."
Everyone here could not understand the concise content of what Zheng Quchi said. Of course, Zheng Quchi also knew it, so she gave a more detailed explanation.
“The first step is to divide the water, then carry out river dredging and ecological bank protection on the tributaries, plant nearby peach and plum and other common fruit trees, build supporting field work roads, reservoirs, renovate irrigation ponds and weirs, etc. With this slope protection, it can be very good To stabilize river bank collapse, these methods can also allow river water and soil to penetrate each other, which is beneficial to water and soil conservation."
Her words caused them to fall into deep thought for a while, and they all simulated the feasibility and effectiveness of this method in their minds, but to no avail. However, those who understood it believed that this method had certain effects. After all, it had been used by previous people. This method has little effect on large-scale floods.
Before they could think it over, Zheng Quchi continued talking.
“The overflow and sediment discharge project is an overflow and sediment discharge project consisting of a flat water tank, a flying sand weir, and a herringbone embankment with a bank protection and overflow function. During the flood season, the Jinghe River overflows with sand from the top of the flying sand weir into the outer river. It can ensure that there will be no disaster in the irrigation area.”
This project is a top priority, but it is also one of the most difficult.
The contents of this item were advanced water conservancy construction that they had never been exposed to, so they could not give any opinions or refutations except listening in confusion and shock.
Naturally, this method was not something Zheng Quchi imagined out of thin air, let alone something she came up with in a short period of time. She just copied the wisdom of others and learned from the outstanding system engineering construction in the world by her ancestors.
As for the third item, Zheng Quchi didn't say it immediately. After all, one bite would make a big fat man. She led everyone to a sand model.
"Everyone, please take a look first. The final result of what I just said is presented on this sand model."
Everyone took a closer look and first traced it one by one. They saw that the misty projects she had just talked about were now vividly displayed in front of them.
It is like a scaled version of the Canngling veins. The rivers, landforms, mountains, terraces...especially the creations that have not yet existed in reality, but show their full picture on it, are all full of fascinating things. charm.
They took a breath, and the more they looked at it, the more incredible they became. Could this complete and systematic flood control project be so grand and amazing after it was completed? (End of chapter)
