Daming pirates

Chapter 60 Water Conservancy

When Yu Xiaotian heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he scolded Lu You: "Mr. Lu, Yu doesn't like to hear your words like this! Although the workshops are related to my Hailang's livelihood, this farming matter is even more important.

It is related to more people’s eating problems!

Farming without paying attention to water conservancy is equivalent to doing nothing. Since you are responsible for civil affairs here, this farming matter is naturally within your jurisdiction!

Nothing is a reason for you to shirk. Water conservancy is a very important matter. You can put down anything. However, water conservancy must not be delayed. Now in early spring, it is a good time to build water conservancy. This matter

Need to do it soon!

In addition to digging ditches for drainage and irrigation, this road is also a big deal. Come and see what the roads in this area look like!

Now it seems that this road is passable, but once the rainy season comes, will this road still be passable? Not to mention vehicles, even people will be unable to move.

If an immigrant village is attacked at this time, or Tamsui City is attacked, how can we quickly gather manpower and material resources and send them to the location of the incident?

Furthermore, it makes sense to build roads first if you want to get rich. It’s not that people can’t grow anything, but besides food, even if they grow some vegetables and fruits, depending on the road conditions, they can transport them.

Come out? You can’t bear to eat it yourself, and you can’t transport it out, so who would be willing to plant it?

If the common people only grow a little rice and sweet potatoes every year, it can at best allow them to eat half full. As for wanting to live a good life, that is simply impossible!

Now that we have brought the people here, we must find a way to make them live a better life. Just making them full is not what I want to see!

You also know that we are thieves now, and it is not easy to get the people to unite with us! If we deal with our peers, the people will probably be able to advance and retreat with us, but one day if the government sends troops to suppress it,

Will these people still be of one mind with us?

If we want the people to be of one mind with us, we can only let them live a good life, because the people all know the virtues of the Ming Dynasty's officials and the virtues of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers. If they were here, their lives would be different from those on the mainland.

If they are almost the same, who will come here to care about them? If they are almost the same, who will still be of the same mind as us?

We need to let the common people understand one thing, that is, except us, no one will be kind to them, and no one will care about their life or death. Only in this way, the common people will be with us even if it is for their own interests! No

If you understand this, you are not qualified to be the civil affairs manager!

So I don’t care what method you think of. Construction of the irrigation and drainage ditches must start immediately, and the roads must also be built. With good roads, the people can live a better life. Otherwise, everything is empty talk!

"

Lu sometimes became nervous when he listened to Yu Xiaotian's words. He just felt that his life was getting better now. If Yu Xiaotian didn't want to see him because of these things, then it would be a good day for him.

Even if the child is coming to an end again.

In fact, in his opinion, although Yu Xiaotian is a pirate, he is more understanding than an official on land. Even though Yu Xiaotian does not often lose his temper with a straight face, once he is unhappy, even if

He didn't glare, and he also had a feeling of not being angry and being proud. Now Yu Xiaotian lost his temper, which sometimes made Lu very stressed.

So Lu sometimes nodded quickly and said: "Student has been taught! This is all the student's negligence. The student will make arrangements immediately!"

Yu Xiaotian saw that Lu sometimes had a good attitude, so he put away his anger and said to Lu sometimes: "Mr. Lu, although you are following Yu, you are just a thief, but we can't look down on ourselves!

This Taiyuan Island is not a territory of the Ming Dynasty, at least it is not regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty by the Ming Dynasty court and officials. It is an enclave. Whoever establishes a foothold here will be the uncrowned king here!

Don't look down on yourself. In fact, you and Mr. Lin are not incompetent, but you have bad luck and corrupt officials, so you have nowhere to display your talents.

But I can give you a chance to show what you have learned. To put it bluntly, you are the officials here. I don’t want you people to learn the style of those officials on the mainland. I want you to put the common people first.

, only in this way can we sea wolves survive on this sea. Otherwise, sooner or later, we will either be annexed by our peers or annihilated by the government!

To put it harshly, if you get on my pirate ship, you and I will be like grasshoppers on the same rope. We will both prosper and suffer! Apart from me, I can guarantee that there is no one in this world who

I can also give you the opportunity to show off what you have learned! I hope you will pay attention!"

While listening, Lu sometimes nodded in agreement: "The student has taken note of it! Master, please rest assured that the students will remember the Master's teachings!"

Yu Xiaotian laughed, waved his hand and said: "Don't take teachings seriously. You are a scholar, but in your eyes, I, Yu, am always just a rough man or a martial artist! How dare you call it teaching! Just remember my words.

That’s it!

You have to treat this matter as the most important thing. We can discuss the manpower issue!

Building water conservancy is a century-old plan. Even if it is urgent, we cannot rush into it! First of all, we need to find knowledgeable people to carry out unified planning. The ditches we build must not only facilitate irrigation, but also have smooth drainage. If you are not careful, you will

Good intentions lead to bad things! Be careful!

In addition, I can give you some advice on road construction!

This road cannot be built according to the current method. The road built in this way will still look like this before long!

Whether it's building roads or building water conservancy projects, it's a century-old plan, so we can't be careless! If we don't do something, we won't do it. If we do it, we must do it well so that it can benefit the people in the long term!

This road must first lay a good foundation. You can use the old method of frying the soil with fire to prevent insects and prevent grass from growing. Add some lime. The foundation must be thoroughly compacted. You can also use a big stone roller to crush it!

Then it is supplemented with gravel. You can spread iron slag, gravel and large sand on the road and compact it. If the slag is not enough, waste and slag from brick and tile kilns and porcelain kilns can also be used.

, repeatedly crushed with stone rollers!

In addition, ditches must be dug on both sides of the road. The road must be higher than the ground to prevent water accumulation on the road! The road surface must also be low on both sides and high in the middle, which is conducive to drainage.

The ditches on the roadside also serve as water channels in the fields, and the excavated soil can be used directly as roadbed. Such roads should last for a long time and not be easily damaged..."

Yu Xiaotian squatted down and started drawing on the ground with a sharp knife. He told Lu Shishi about his request for road construction, and Lu Shishi also hurriedly squatted down and looked at Yu Xiaotian's drawings on the ground.

Drawing a picture, I couldn't help but admire it secretly.

The vision of ordinary people in this era was very narrow. Apart from farming or doing some simple handicrafts, they rarely knew much.

Lu Shi had already learned about Yu Xiaotian's industrial abilities before this, and knew that the soap and glass that Sea Wolf was currently using to make a lot of money were all made by him, including the cannons produced in the cannon factory and the current

The matchlock guns equipped by the Sea Wolf tribe that do not use matchlocks were all made by Xiaotian. Xiaotian even created a new type of ship like the Flying Clipper in the boat house. This ability is even considered his

Such a self-proclaimed scholar with a wide range of knowledge feels inferior to him.

In this era, knowledge is only in the hands of a few people. It is difficult for ordinary people to learn about water conservancy and road construction. These things require reading a lot of books to master, but Yu Xiaotian has learned it easily. Although he is not very professional, he

But he obviously knows a lot.

When talking about road construction, Yu Xiaotian also casually talked about some things about water conservancy construction. Based on his understanding of the water sources around Tamsui City, he pointed out many places, how to build dams and how to raise the water surface.

How to divert water and drain water is explained very clearly.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian also proposed that large-scale waterwheels should be built in many places to use hydraulic power to directly introduce water from rivers into ditches and directly into ditches and into farmland.

As for introducing water from canals into the fields, he also proposed that geographical conditions should be used as much as possible to directly introduce water into the fields. Even if conditions are limited, more water trucks should be used to reduce the demand for manpower. These canals should form a large sky.

During drought, water can be diverted for irrigation, and during the rainy season, it can also facilitate the rapid drainage of accumulated water in the fields and introduce it into rivers for drainage.

Listening to Yu Xiaotian's talk, Lu sometimes nodded in agreement, not daring to show any arrogance in front of Yu Xiaotian. Although Yu Xiaotian just talked casually, there were many things in it that surprised him.

.

Yu Xiaotian has never learned anything about water conservancy or road construction. It's all because he has never eaten pork, but he still knows how pigs run. He roughly summarized some things he saw in the old time and space.

He admired Lu sometimes, but this point alone made Lu sometimes admire him very much.

After talking about these things, Yu Xiaotian took Lu Shishi and others to continue to wander around the immigrant village. Yu Xiaotian walked along, pointing and making many suggestions for Lu Shishi and his subordinates in charge of civil affairs.

Something surprising and new to them.

For example, regarding the current rice fields, Yu Xiaotian proposed the method of raising fish or ducks in rice fields. In this era, agriculture does not have chemical fertilizers and pesticides to assist production, so fertility and pests and diseases in farmland are very serious.

In the old days, he saw on TV that some places promoted the method of raising fish or ducks in rice fields. By raising fish or ducks in rice fields, these fish and ducks can not only eat some pests in the rice fields, but also the fish and ducks can survive.

Manure can also directly act on rice fields to improve rice field fertility.

In addition, when the rice fields are harvested, the fish and ducks are also fattened, which allows farmers to earn more income from the harvested fish and ducks, thus killing two birds with one stone.
