Yu Zai drew a big pie for the Shang tribe. The pie was so big that the leaders of the Shang tribe didn't believe it, because they had already mastered all the methods of fertilizing fields passed down from the south. Logically speaking, there were How can we continue to fertilize our fields?
Yu Zai told them to use the mud from the river, and the leaders of the Shang tribe began to laugh.
They also know that river silt can fertilize fields, but every time silt comes, it will be accompanied by a flood. In this era, there are still many water networks in Shangqiu.
However, the quality of the silt cannot be guaranteed, and what is important is the flow brought by the water, which is the method of "muddy water irrigation" to improve the soil, rather than the pure silt itself.
Seeing how they didn't care about any of them, Yu Zai immediately shook his head.
"I heard that Shangqiu has been flooded several times. Thanks to a minister from the Central Plains who taught you how to build ditch walls and consolidate the earth walls, Shangqiu was saved from the disaster of flooding and destroying the land?"
Xiangtu said: "You are talking about the Lord Zhizong. Yao Chonghua once served as the minister of market management in Shangqiu. He was a young man from Dongyi, but he had great wisdom. It was indeed thanks to him that time. Now even if the floods come again, we won’t be worried anymore.”
After hearing this, Yuzai immediately shook his head: "No, the next flood will only be more severe than the last one."
"The world is changing rapidly. Don't you think this winter is particularly warm?"
Yuzai told them: "What I want to tell you is not a simple ditch water diversion, but a technology called silt irrigation. Among them are pond weirs and grid fields. These are all specially developed for large rivers in the north according to local conditions. Methods that both sides of the Taiwan Strait can use to control floods and promote agriculture.”

At Yu Zai's request, Xiang Tu and the others followed him doubtfully. When they heard that Yu Zai was going to help the Shang tribe formulate this year's agricultural work plan and build a small wonder, the biggest reaction was not that of the important person who once governed Shangqiu. Hua, but Wen Ming.
Wen Ming’s eyes shine!
Could it be that a small flood control city is to be built here?
But although he really wanted to see Yu Zai show off his skills, he still reminded Yu Zai that compared to the small wonders here, it would be better to go to Fenglingdu with him to build a big wonder...
However, Yu Zai taught Wen Ming and told him that the things built here would be of great use to him in the future. Wen Ming had always respected such water conservancy facilities. After hearing what Yu Zai said, he immediately expressed that Feng Lingdu is a thing, it can definitely wait!
"I heard that there is a large swamp near Shangqiu called Mengzhuze?"
"Yes, the last time the river flooded, Meng Zhuze collapsed. At that time, the ditch defenses were not repaired, and the floods harmed the people. Everyone only used water to contain it. Later, when the river collapsed, all the nearby tribes suffered. , many people died.”
"I want to manage the river in Shangqiu and build a small wonder to prepare for the dangers of the big river. What do you think?"
"Wha...how?! What a good thing! Azai!"
What Yuan Zai asked was Chonghua, because Chonghua had governed here. At this time, Chonghua was very happy when he heard that Yuan Zai wanted to rule Shangqiu for the second time.
Azai has the status of an emperor, so he should do more to help the people affected by the disaster here!
He was very happy, thinking that there were some things he couldn't do, but building water conservancy, observing geography, and determining the weather were the strengths of Su Zai. Chonghua believed that he could be on par with Su Zai in business affairs, but in managing land affairs, he was very good at it. You can still go as far as you want.
Just do it. After understanding Meng Zhuze's situation, Yu Zai already made a rough judgment in his mind, and immediately took the order and handed him the sacred task!
That's carrying the bag.
"See, this is called professionalism."
Chonghua was explaining to Xiu and the others, but Xiu and the others couldn't understand what Yuanzai was talking to Chonghua and Wenming just now.
Xiong Tao said at this time: "If a witch can design canals for irrigation for them, they don't have to worry. What good luck!"
When the leaders of the Shang tribe heard these people's boastful words, they all looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.
Governing Meng Zhuze?
This Daze is a large water area equal to Lei Xiaze!
————
Mengzhuze is in the northeast of Shangqiu and is the place where the Shang tribe "prospered" - a prosperous one that was destroyed by floods.
As the saying goes, God will assign a great responsibility to this tribe, which will surely torture their minds and starve their muscles and bones...
This Daze was also one of the places where Dayu controlled floods, and it was a very important link in diverting floodwaters into the East China Sea. Mozi said that Dayu guided away a circuitous flood that traveled through the heaven and earth, and then stopped this Daze. Direct its water flow into nine channels to limit the floods in the east and benefit the people of Jizhou.
In other words, Dayu used Meng Zhuze as a natural reservoir at that time!
This shows how terrible the capacity of this ancient great lake is, and as soon as it is filled with floods, it immediately sprays out, submerging all the surrounding land...
Another reason why Daze is an important node is that during Emperor Shun's reign, Gonggong rebelled, causing another major flood in the river. In conjunction with the natural floods in previous years, the river was flooded all the way to Kongsang. In the region, wherever the rivers and rivers flowed, people ran onto the hills and climbed onto the trees. The floods rolled up and down, snakes and dragons hid together and shivered, and the people were displaced...
By the Spring and Autumn Period, Meng Zhuze was divided into two parts, and the Daze in the west was enough to irrigate the entire land of the Song Dynasty.
Yuan Zai also didn't expect to see this legendary Daze. After all, in the era before Yuan Zai traveled through, Meng Zhuze had already disappeared, and was shaken out of the shape of the plain by the Yellow River.
"Swamp cell, food output is minus one...Mobility consumption is three...There are currently no workers to transform, and the technology tree has not been unlocked."
Ruanzai muttered, followed by Wen Ming, who was carrying a bag. Two chickens used Wen Ming's head as a chicken coop. After eating and drinking enough, Gugu and Jiaojiao became sleepy.
Go to bed when you are full, Gujiji.
"The waters here are full of tidal flats, and going inward, there are vast waters covering both sides of the river. The first thing to do is to separate this large swamp, and then from this large swamp, nine rivers will branch to the east. This serves as a natural flood diversion barrier."
"I have worked in the Great Flood Control City for a long time, but you have not personally participated in this kind of construction. This is an excellent opportunity to accumulate experience here. When we go to Fenglingdu, we will have a lot of experience in regulating the river in the distance. The water from the mainstay mountain will be more certain."
Yu Zai told Wen Ming that the technology used in "flood diversion irrigation" was similar to the technology used in the large flood control city.
Come on, Wen Ming, you will participate in the transformation of this "swamp cell"!
Mamazai put down a worker and named the worker "Si Wenming".
