As the saying goes, there are always more solutions than difficulties. After more than 70 days and nearly 80 days of struggle, the flood has finally receded slowly, and spring is approaching. This is bad news. If everyone was sure in previous years Singing and dancing, but not this year.
Because the floods have just receded, the weather will get warm again in spring. If there is another snowmelt flood, it will be really fatal.
Regardless of whether it was a large river or a large river, the disasters suffered this time were very serious, including Shiqianyuan and Xunshan. Many soldiers also died, and large areas of cultivated land in the Moss Wilderness were wiped out by floods. This year's farming, early rice must be the most important. It can't be broadcast anymore.
Because this flood is not a minor flood, these cultivated lands will not take time to recover.
At the suggestion of Yu Zai and the discussion of the wizards, the spectacle of the Great Bathhouse must be destroyed, and the Great Meteorological Observatory must also be destroyed. In addition, the dikes and fortifications near the flood diversion area should be strengthened. After all,...
Okay, the manpower is completely insufficient. After all, this is a world of living people, not a game. You can buy workers with just a few gold coins...
"There are hundreds of thousands of people helping out at Chongyong Pass and Chidao..."
Yu Zai himself also knew this. The construction of Chongyong Fortress was assisted by countless reinforcements from Dongyi, Baiyue, and the Central Plains. It was mainly to intercept the Sanmiao and give the south a frontline base, otherwise the Sanmiao would invade and cause chaos. Running... Do you think it is easier to catch mice in front of their holes, or when they are running around in your house?
Therefore, this military wonder was built very quickly, and a simple dam was also built to store water, as well as some huge canals, channels and other support projects.
"Population, is it still too late to survive?"
Fu Qianyuan only has such a small number of people. Even if he accepts Emperor Yang and Baoshan, part of the population of Zhenling is still pitifully small. Now it can be seen that the shortcomings are very serious.
Yuzai said to himself, so he had to make a decision at this time, whether to build a large meteorological observatory first or build flood control projects such as large bathing beaches first...
At present, it seems that the amount of flood control projects is huge. Spring plowing is approaching, and it is a foregone conclusion that everyone will move to the inland for farming. Moreover, it is obviously too late and unrealistic to build a large number of flood control projects now.
This is a protective project, not a destructive project. It is not like the bad marshes that Sanmiao once built to block the pursuit of the Central Plains. It only needs to be messed up and destroyed. Destruction is always simpler and easier than creation.
So now that the hills have risen, let's ask the great wizard to restore his mana and then consolidate it. That's it for the time being.
This is also a lot of physical work, and the witchcraft power consumed will not be recovered for a while. Although Mr. Wu Pan is one of the legendary ten witches of Lingshan, he can't cast holy light for treatment with just a touch of his hand.
After all, the professions are different. The old gentleman is a herbalist.
Wu Xian, the boss of the Ten Witches, seems to be expert in this kind of instant cure.
"Build the big meteorological observatory first."
The meteorological observatory can better observe the trajectory of celestial phenomena. Relying on Fei Lian, who works part-time, and the wind beast that fell last time, plus teachers Chisongzi and Gugu, as well as himself, the basic staffing of the entire meteorological observatory has been completed.
There is such a similar thing in Taotang. In fact, the function of the Vulcan Platform is similar. The one in Taotang was called "Taosi Observation Platform" after being excavated in later generations. The abbot and builder was Emperor Yao.
The observatory of Taosi Temple consists of thirteen rammed earth pillars, which are semicircular with a radius of 10.5 meters and an arc length of 19.5 meters. From the observation point, we can observe the sunrise direction of Ta'er Mountain through the slits in the soil pillars. From this, we can determine the seasons and solar terms, and then arrange a suitable day to start farming.
The sunrise seen through the second slit is the winter solstice, the sunrise seen through the twelfth slit is the summer solstice, and the sunrise seen through the seventh slit is the spring and autumn equinoxes.
One of the oldest activities of interrogation between heaven and man began on this high platform. Its function is not the same as that of the Vulcan Platform, and it is also a sacrificial place in the land of Taotang.
Prince Changqin knew that there was such a thing in the land of Taotang, so when Yu Zai said that he wanted to set up a storm measurement plan, he proposed to build a wonder.
"It just so happens that most of the tribes have gathered in the central region. The population has been concentrated and the work efficiency has been greatly improved. Let's put the work on the edge of the river aside for a year. It will be good if we can survive this year and save some food."
The big shots all thought this proposal was acceptable, and after several leaders completed the flood control, Yu Zai suggested "recognizing" several tribes that had made outstanding contributions to water control. As for the substantive rewards...
Of course it is another very special thing, which is a by-product of the process of making sauce for a long time——
"liquor"!
But I didn’t expect the flood this year, so the production of wine must be stopped. In addition, the production volume of this thing is not high in the first place. It is made with a little bit of surplus grain, so it is just a prize, and I will pay it back by the way. It can mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for food production.
Food is not just for eating, it can also be eaten in various ways.
The great wizard was deceived by Yu Zai, saying that this way he could unite everyone, mobilize their enthusiasm, and realize that they are an inseparable part of the collective. Everyone will suffer when they are prosperous, and when they suffer, unity is strength and so on...
So there was no big commendation meeting. Instead, after the refugee relocation was completed, the great wizard came to the place where Xunshan was relocated, near the oil mill near Gongtian.
"Everyone has worked hard to control the flood. Everyone has contributed to the difficulties this time. This must be praised. As for the more outstanding contributions..."
The great wizard first named a few tribes, and the Akafang clan was of course among them. After all, Akafang came up with the entire general strategy, and many tribes also agreed with it one after another, and quite agreed with it. Later, there were a few more who contributed manpower and the most materials. , was also specially praised and received a mysterious gift.
"What is this?"
"It tastes a little weird."
People looked at each other in confusion, but since Akagata brought it out, it should be a good thing.
I heard it is made with vinegar? That is the "by-product" of food. This term was taught by the Akagata family.
Of course, the most surprising thing is that the soy sauce-maker Tong Hong also received a commendation.
"Eh?"
Many wizards looked at each other.
There probably wasn't much movement in Ushimura in this incident.
Even Mr. Hong himself was confused, and he got an honor just because he was confused.
"Regarding this, Niucun's horn played a big role in containing the flood..."
The great wizard took the Niu Village horn away for a long time and has not returned it to them, because it is really useful. Although the accompanying stone gall bladder that restricts the flow of water is gone, the horn can drive the water to flow in a certain direction, but Flow rate and range cannot be controlled.
So everyone understood, but when congratulating Niu Cun, they all felt a little weird.
"Lao Niu's horns are pretty good, but he's a bit stingy."
"Yeah, the horn is good, forget about the people."
After all, Lao Niu has been playing soy sauce for dozens of days again this time, and whoever thinks he will be angry...
Tong Hong's shaman's face was a little burning, and he didn't feel very happy carrying the jar of wine.
Of course, on the same day, a breakthrough invention appeared in Nanqiu.
Here in Yijun, after Xiong Tao learned the craft, when he helped to bake pottery, he produced some pottery of particularly good quality. Xiong Tao found that the soil for firing was different, so he added the new soil to continue firing. Finally, Two strange pottery vessels appeared.
