The Central Plains region is also preparing for the New Year's Day sacrifices, and even the Four Emperors have not made much movement. After all, at this time, in addition to offering sacrifices to ancestors, they also have to prepare for next year's spring plowing. Wars need to be fought and rebellions need to be made, but the cultivated land cannot be lost. .
Especially in the current era with various technologies for increasing grain production, if you do not farm for two solar terms, it seems that you have won for thirty days, but in fact you have lost for a whole year.
If you don't plant food at the critical time, the harvest will decline due to changes in weather. God gives you a total of three opportunities. Others have seized the three opportunities, but you have been abandoned by the opportunity.
The "Huainan Mutual Protection" policy in the Huai River area also forced the Jinyun family to temporarily abandon this area. Because they were busy with spring plowing, it was impossible for other areas to airdrop manpower and material resources to the Huainan area, and a one-year blank period was enough for those tribes to Established an "independent group" to do things everywhere without saying anything, and also helped the wandering "Yellow Emperors" to spread rumors about the Jinyun clan...
I heard people going around saying he was dead.
When Taotie heard this, he was so angry that he couldn't eat anymore and smashed the bowl on the spot.
Of course, it is not just the Central Plains people, Dongyi people, Baiyue people, the Four Emperors rebels and the Gonggong warlord leaders who are rushing to achieve results at the end of the year... God is also rushing to achieve results. It will snow and rain sometimes. Sometimes it hails, then strong winds blow, and the weather changes four times in three days. For people in other areas, it is full of complaints, but for the people in the construction team...
Today is another day of sitting on the earthen bed and bragging.
Life with a Tukang is so simple and unpretentious.
Think about it, is it the same between a community without heating supply and a community with heating supply?
"The climate has begun to become abnormal, and even the temperature that has been stable for many days has begun to fluctuate. In many cases, the tribes in the north and west have no food, and the changes in the climate cause their livestock to die, so plundering wars will also break out after this period."
Everyone is sitting in the workshop, inside the large earthen house, with the terrain sand table placed in the center. The calculation is that after more than ten days, climate change will probably reach a new constant stage. At that time, we can start to plan the work for the coming year. Some preparations were made, and just in time to take advantage of the bad weather in the past few days, we quickly got things done for the sacrifice.
In the past few days, Ji Qi had also figured out some aspects of the water conservancy facilities. He was very happy when he heard that the Luonan area could be turned into pasture after the treatment was completed, but he wanted to turn it into farmland, but he was rejected by Juzai. Zai stopped.
Yu Zai said to him: "Master Qi, different lands have different usages. Land for grazing is suitable for grazing, and land for farming is suitable for farming. This cannot be developed just how you want. The nature of the land is different, and the geography is different. Different environments, latitude, climate changes throughout the year, and average annual sunshine determine the crops grown on the land."
"Let grazing be done where grazing is, and the benefits it can create are very high. Forcibly opening it up as farmland will only get half the result with half the effort, and you won't get much benefit."
Yuzai pointed out several places to Ji Qi on the sand table. One of them was the area between Jingshui and Luoshui. This area, during the Warring States Period, was the land of Zelu. Later, a Korean named Zheng Guo A canal was dug for the Qin State, which is the famous Zhengguo Canal. The Jing water was diverted into the Luo water, and more than 40,000 hectares of fertile farmland were irrigated, making Guanzhong a fertile field...
Although this place is better in this era than the Warring States Period, it is not much better...it just lacks two thousand years of salt-alkali accumulation.
The Zhengguo Canal was not used for a long time. It seems that it has become inoperable after a hundred years. However, this is not the problem, because many great dynasties later re-dredged it and continued to open more canals in this area.
Baigong Canal was opened here in the Han Dynasty, Sanbai Canal was opened in the Tang Dynasty, Fengli Canal was opened in the Song Dynasty, Wang Yushi Canal was opened in the Yuan Dynasty, Guanghui and Tongji Canal were opened in the Ming Dynasty, Longdong Canal was opened in the Qing Dynasty, including the Jinghui Canal in New China. One part of the canal is the ruins of Zheng Guo Canal.
"The water gods and many tribes in the Weinan area are opposed to the construction in Luonan because they are afraid that we will damage their interests during the construction. However, enclosing land and water will only lead to the outbreak of floods and the deterioration of some areas. At the same time, it will bring There are still many uncontrollable risks, such as some people changing the river course indiscriminately and ignoring the terrain..."
Yu Zai told Ji Qi these things and expressed her bitterness, saying that her work here had been greatly hindered!
They paraded in Weinan every day, making me miss one bite of my meals every day.
"It doesn't matter if I eat less, but if everyone eats less, it will slow down the progress of the construction site. If the progress of the construction site is slowed down, the water will not be controlled in time. If the water cannot be controlled in time, more time and food will be consumed. The more time and food are consumed, the more geological disasters in this area will be out of control..."
"So I'm not suing for this meal, I'm suing for the happiness of the people in the entire Central Plains region!"
Yuzai summed it up in one sentence!
There are always evil spirits trying to harm me!
Ji Qi was half dazed by what he was saying, but he still wrote it down seriously, and promised Yu Zai that he would report it to the emperor to punish those "diao gods" who held anti-construction demonstrations in Weinan.
Ji Qi also seemed very interested in the place that Yu Zai mentioned. He even thought about it and felt that if the "wonder" construction of Yu Zai could really achieve what Yu Zai said, then the Zhou tribe could be the first to build it. Go ahead and cultivate the land for a while, and then work hard to produce food.
The Zhou tribe was still very good at growing food during this period. Later, this craft was abandoned and became semi-nomadic. This was because Buyao lost his official position in the Xia Dynasty and took the tribe people to live in Rongdi District. As we all know, Rongdi was not Those who believe in martial arts are best at turning back and digging out. If you want to farm, they will trick you and sneak attack you. Therefore, if you want to defeat them, you can only be like them and do not follow martial ethics...
"So, there are a lot of canals that need to be built in this area...What if they don't work?"
Although Ji Qi had already seen that Yu Zai's suggestion was very correct, he still cautiously asked "What should I do if it doesn't work?" because he wanted to get a final safeguard measure, even if this measure was not used.
After listening to this, Yu Zai said, I completely understand your concerns. This is indeed the case for capturing spectacles. It consumes a lot of productivity, leading to a backward economy and soldier level. I am afraid that I will take a useless spectacle...
but!
Miracles rejuvenate the country and win with a sledgehammer!
The people of Lao Qin can let the builders add productivity to the wonders, which is a Chinese characteristic.
Brother, this wonder of mine will not only not consume your productivity, but will also increase your food savings, happiness, productivity, population growth, land expansion... Such a wonderful wonder, are you sure you don’t want to knock it off?
