Lin Feng said: "Brother has served in Yongning County for many years and has experience. Now that we are experiencing a spring drought, have you ever gone to the local government to find out how long this year's drought will last?"
Wang Yue nodded and said: "I really understand this situation. In fact, I visited the local farmers before and the old farmers who are familiar with the weather said that it will not rain during this period, and it will not even rain in the next ten days. A tendency to rain.”
"It's just today that the news has been compiled and confirmed, and the drought has been confirmed."
"The experienced farmers in these places have rich experience. Their judgment may not be accurate, but there will hardly be too much deviation. This year's drought is very likely to continue."
Wang Yue sighed and said: "The people's life will be more difficult this year. This problem must be solved. If it is not solved properly, Yongning County will be stable, let alone great governance."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "In my opinion, this is my brother's opportunity."
Wang Yue said: "What chance is there? If we can protect the people from drought, and save the people from drought, then I will be considered lucky in this matter, and I will be able to live up to the expectations of the people."
Lin Feng said: "As long as I am here, I will help my brother solve this difficulty."
"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"
Wang Yue said three difficult words in a row, and then he said: "Brother, you are excellent in martial arts, strategic, and talented. But when governing a place, in addition to people, God also depends on God's food. For example, in the past two years, the weather has always been good. This year But there has been a spring drought without rain, and if it continues, the people will suffer. Even if you try to find a way, it will be difficult to solve it."
Lin Feng said firmly: "I can solve it."
Wang Yue looked at Lin Feng carefully, remained silent for a while, and asked, "Xian brother, can you really solve this problem?"
"It can be solved!"
Lin Feng answered again.
Wang Yue said: "Then what do you plan to do to solve this year's spring drought?"
Lin Fengdao: "To solve the problem of drought, of course we need to draw water. I remember that there is a Weishui River near Yongning County. The Weishui River is in Yongning County and has a branch, the Yongning River. This time, we will draw water from the Yongning River."
"This won't work."
Wang Yue shook his head.
He sighed and said: "Brother, in the Yongning River area, you have to draw water from the river to irrigate the area near the river and ensure the water source in the area near the Yongning River. Naturally, there will be no problem."
"However, Yongning County is so big, it would be difficult to irrigate other places. Your idea is simply impossible to realize. What's more, taking water from the river to irrigate farmland will consume countless manpower and material transportation. This is fundamental. Can’t afford it.”
"In most areas of the Yongning River, the water flow is relatively fast, and most of the river areas passing through Yongning County are relatively steep. The terrain is located in a ravine, and it is not easy to obtain water."
"In addition, dams have been built in slightly flat areas. Because when the river floods, it is easy to burst the dams. These dams are not allowed to be destroyed. Once you dig the dams in Yongning County to release water, other places will do the same."
"When we face summer floods in the future, it is easy for fertile fields to be flooded. Without digging dikes, we want to draw water from rivers for irrigation. This time-consuming project is simply too big and unrealistic."
Wang Yue also knew how to govern.
Therefore, when he heard Lin Feng's words, he still felt that they were unreliable.
"Don't worry, brother, I have no plans to dig a dam for irrigation."
Lin Feng said confidently: "I am absolutely sure about irrigation. I will not dig the dam, but will design a specially designed instrument to collect water. This thing is called a barrel cart, which is specially used to collect water and does not require manpower or material resources."
"The barrel cart only needs to rely on the impact of water flow to draw water continuously. With this thing, brother will have confidence. The key now is that brother, do you know the local situation in Yongning County?"
"As long as there is no problem with water collection, if we want to irrigate water to all areas and fertile fields throughout Yongning County, we must build ditches."
Lin Feng talked eloquently and said: "When it comes to ditches, we must divide areas throughout Yongning County and dig ditches quickly. Then, large quantities of water can be released for irrigation."
"Drought Crisis, Contact with Nature."
"Just imagine, the entire Fufeng County is under drought conditions, but Yongning County is not affected by the drought, and the food grown has a bumper harvest. The political achievements are naturally highlighted. now."
Wang Yue's eyes lit up, he had expectations, and said: "Xian brother, are you serious?"
"Of course it's true."
Lin Feng said firmly: "The barrel cart continuously draws water from the river and irrigates it day and night."
Wang Yue nodded and said, "Dear brother, I believe in you."
While talking, Wang Yue took out a large piece of paper from his desk, took a brush, walked up to Lin Feng, and said: "Although I didn't make many political achievements in Yongning County for several years, I He knows the situation of each local village very well."
"Besides, I know where there are mountains, where the roads are rugged, and where there are ditches."
"When it comes to dredging ditches, many places in the original place have ditches built in earlier years. What we have to do is to use the original ditches in the place to connect them."
While Wang Yue was talking, he sketched on paper the entire area of Yongning County.
Everything, presented clearly.
After Wang Yue finished sketching, he continued: "We want to get water, which is where your barrel truck is set up. It is best to get water from Oxford Ferry, which is the easiest place to get water. Moreover, Oxford Ferry also has ditches from earlier years. "
"It's just that the water is released from Oxford Ferry to the ditch, because the ferry is lower and the ditch is higher."
"Under this premise, water can only be obtained by moving water manually, which is originally very difficult. Nowadays, there are barrel trucks, which can use the original ditches to transport the water out, and then dredge the ditches in various places to deliver the water to the entire Yongning County .”
Wang Yue said: "But it involves dredging ditches and conscripting people into corvee service. This is a bit troublesome."
"Why must corvee be imposed?"
With a smile on his face, Lin Feng said: "Brother, if you rely on collecting corvees and can clear all the ditches within half a year, then you are considered powerful."
Wang Yue frowned and said, "If we don't rely on collecting corvees, what should we do? Originally, things were arranged this way."
Lin Feng said: "Brother is about to receive one hundred thousand taels of silver. This is money. To complete the task of dredging the ditch, money must be paid. The ditches in the entire Yongning County can be contracted according to the scope of each village."
"You directly plan out the ditches that each village is responsible for, and then contract them to the village. Budget the total amount first. Then for each village, one-fifth of the task will be dredged, and a part of the money will be settled. After half of the dredging, Then settle the money."
"Step by step settlement, finally clearing everything, checking and settling the final money. These money are wages given to the local people. Such a contract can be completed in the shortest time with the help of the people's strength, and you don't need to worry."
"What you have to do is not to care about everything, but only to care about the results and the money."
"If you have money, the people will not complain. If you have money, they will go all out. As long as you hold the money, the people below will naturally advance this matter. Brother, this is the fastest speed."
Lin Feng said: "You only need to plan well, and everything can be solved with money."
Wang Yue's eyes sparkled after hearing this, and his eyes became even brighter.
Wonderful!
Wonderful!
Of course, the key to this plan is money. Wang Yuezhen would not have dared to do this without Li Qian giving him one hundred thousand taels of silver. If you want to push forward without money, then things will be difficult.
Wang Yue stood up, cupped his hands and said, "You are a worthy brother whose talents are as great as those of heaven and earth. I am completely impressed by your talent. I have never been convinced by others, but I am so impressed with you."
If it weren't for Lin Feng's plan, Wang Yuezhen would have no solution. The problems that seemed to him were easily solved by Lin Feng, without any problems at all.
so amazing.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Brother Zan Miao, but the production of the barrel cart needs to be kept secret. Because I think that dredging the ditch and diverting water is an opportunity to plot against Li Qian."
Wang became more and more interested and secretly said that Lin Feng was very scheming. While solving the problem, he also set a hook to plot against Li Qian.
Wang Yue said excitedly: "Brother, how do you plan?"
