Chapter 261 Let the whole village be poured with Maixiang River water
After the night when he was beaten back to the hometown regiment, Wang Zhong immediately became the hero of the entire Maixiang village. He killed 26 enemies by himself, and was promoted to the captain of the militia the next day. Even the county brigade wanted to come and arrest Wang Zhong. Heavy to the past.

But Wang Zhong said that he and the villagers of Maixiang Village had feelings for each other, and he didn't want to leave Maixiang Village. He declined the invitation of the county brigade, but he also gained a lot of goodwill from the villagers.

Although he has become the militia captain of Maixiang Village and gained a lot of fame in the village, Wang Zhong still has to continue working in the fields.

The corn, soybeans and peanuts in the field have come to the harvest time one after another.

Wang Zhong's mutual aid group had a new Mrs. Jinhua, from the original four to five. However, Mrs. Jinhua only planted a little corn and soybeans, and not many.

After careful consideration, Ma Renli's heartfelt Qiao Yue chose to stay in Niu Bold's group, not because she didn't want to join Wang Zhong's mutual aid group. I thought about it, but Wang Zhong is a hard-hearted man, and Qiao Yue is a man who doesn't touch the spring water with his fingers. He can't even cook, let alone farm work.

Qiao Yue stayed in Niu Bold's mutual aid group, and at least there was Niu Bold, who was caring and caring, to help share the farm work. When the team members were working in the field, Qiao Yue would occasionally lend a helping hand. Singing.

On the contrary, in Wang Zhong's group, everyone was very detailed in what they did and what they did.
Harvesting, processing, and processing the straw and the remaining stems and leaves of the crops into small pieces, putting them into the pits dug in advance, adding the excrement, swill, and usual kitchen waste from the toilets for composting.

Whether it is in the city or in the countryside, manure is limited. If you rely on manure alone, it is definitely not enough. Now the war is not over, the country has not yet been established, and although the north has been liberated early, everything is still in a wasteland. Among them, chemical fertilizers have not yet become popular.

Sneaking into the city to dig out public toilets in the middle of the night like Niu Bold and the others is definitely not an option.

After harvesting corn, peanuts and soybeans, it is time to plow and prepare for autumn sowing.

Wang Zhong called several people from the mutual aid group together and expressed his intention to buy a cow.

"We are definitely willing to buy cattle, but the key point is that we have no money!" Three Monkeys said.

Lao Ganbang said: "Even if we sell all the wheat, soybeans and corn this year, we probably won't be able to raise enough money to buy cattle."

Sister-in-law Jinhua had just joined the mutual aid group not long ago, so she didn't express her opinion, but she obviously leaned towards the old Ganbang and the three monkeys.

Several people were born in poverty, the land was distributed to their hands only half a year ago, and the total family property was only a few houses, and several hundred catties of newly grown wheat. In the past, they were hungry and full, but now it is a little better. A hundred catties of wheat are ground into flour, which is barely enough to satisfy the hunger, and a lot of corn and soybeans have been produced now, and the rest of the ones that have been handed in can have a good year.

But he couldn't come up with any spare money. Although Lao Ganbang had followed Wang Zhong to build windmills and saved some wages these days, it was not much, and it was definitely not enough to buy cattle.

"What about Renli, what do you say?" Wang Zhong looked at Ma Renli.

Ma Renli is now the veteran of the mutual aid group. After more than half a year of farm work, his skin has darkened, his strength has grown, his hands have calluses, his mouth is sharp, and he knows how to speak to please the big guys. Even the three monkeys He is no longer the same nose as before, and his eyes are not eyes.

"I also agree to buy cattle, but the money for buying cattle is indeed a problem." Ma Renli said.

"What you said is the same as what you didn't say!" Three Monkeys said angrily.

Wang Zhong looked at Mrs. Jin Hua and asked, "Where is Mrs. Jin Hua?"

"Ah?" Aunt Jinhua was taken aback for a moment. She never thought that she would ask her own opinion on such a thing. Looking at Wang Zhong, Aunt Jinhua gritted her teeth and said, "I'm a woman and I don't eat much. If I really want to buy it, this year's new I can come up with fifty catties of wheat."

Everyone looked at Mrs. Jinhua in surprise.

"That's not necessary."

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "As long as everyone agrees, money is not a problem! During this period of time, Lao Ganbang and I saved a lot of money for making windmills and threshers, plus the money I earned from selling vegetables and hunting these days. The money for a cow should be enough."

"I think so. As for the cow, I pay for it alone. The cow is considered my own. If I want to sell it or kill it in the future, I can dispose of it easily. But when I buy it back, everyone can use it together."

The three monkeys were the first to express their opinion: "Brother Big Chong, you paid the money alone, this cow must belong to you!"

The crowd followed.

Wang Zhongdao: "But now there is another problem. If this cow is bought back, it will definitely need someone to take care of it. I think so. We are all men, and Jinhua's wife is a lesbian. A lesbian must be more careful than us old men." , so in the future, can I leave the work of raising cattle to Mrs. Jinhua?"

"Okay, Mrs. Jinhua must be more careful than us."

"Yes, yes, yes, if the cow is given to Mrs. Jinhua to take care of it, it will definitely be taken care of well!"

None of them had any objections, but Mrs. Jin Hua said, "Although I am a woman, I have strength and I can do heavy work."

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "That's what I think. Anyway, we are all bachelors now, and we don't have any wives. When the farming season is busy, we can simply ask Mrs. Jinhua to take care of the logistics of our team, cooking and washing for us. Let's do some light work, such as cutting wheat, harvesting wheat, and plowing the land. We big men try our best to cover it up. If we are too busy, let Mrs. Jinhua help. We match men and women and divide the labor reasonably. , see if it works."

"I agree!" The three monkeys were the first to raise their hands in agreement, and the speed was so fast that people clicked their tongues.

"I have no objection either!" Lao Ganbang followed suit.

Ma Renli has always been a follower, so naturally he has no objection.

When Mrs. Jinhua saw everyone taking such good care of him, a warm current surged in her heart: "As long as everyone trusts me, I will definitely do the logistics well!"

"In this case, it's a deal. I'll go to the livestock market tomorrow and buy the cattle." Wang Zhong made a final decision.

"Next, let me tell you about our work plan for the second half of the year."

"The first is autumn plowing and autumn sowing. It's almost the end of the day. After the cattle are bought back, Lao Ganbang, Sanhou, and Ma Renli, the four of us will be in charge of plowing the land, and Mrs. Jinhua will be in charge of our day-to-day work." For three meals and sowing, the big guy will pay as much as he eats, and the food will be handed over to Mrs. Jinhua the night before, do you have any objections?"

"No comment!"

"Brother Big Chong, we all listen to you."

It has been several times to work together like this, and everyone knows that division of labor and cooperation are more efficient, so naturally they have no opinion and agree with each other.

Wang Zhong continued: "If this crop wants to grow well, there are three things that matter. The first is seeds, which we can't do anything about. The second is fertilization. We have limited conditions, so we can do as much as we can. The third is irrigation. As long as there is enough water, the wheat will grow well, and after the autumn sowing is over, we have to start preparing for winter irrigation and spring irrigation in the coming spring!"

"Winter irrigation? Spring irrigation?"

"How to irrigate in winter? Do you carry water?"

"It was done in previous years, but it was always tiring and slow to fetch water from the river."

"Carrying water is definitely not enough. The few of us have more than ten acres of land. We can tell when it will be gone by shouldering it. Now there is no dam. My suggestion is to find the few groups next to us. If possible, it is best to organize the whole village together.

Let's work together to discuss digging out the canal, and then use water trucks to pump water up from the Maixiang River. Don't we have cows? We can also use cows to drive water trucks, and when the time comes, the water will be pumped up along the dug The irrigation canal runs down from top to bottom. I have seen it these days. We dig a canal to divert water at a bit upstream, and then dig a few weir ponds in suitable places to store water. It should be able to meet the requirements of winter irrigation and spring irrigation. "

"Water wheel? Weir pond?" Everyone looked at Wang Zhong curiously.

Wang Zhongdao: "Don't worry, everyone, it's not difficult to make a waterwheel, Renli, didn't you study agriculture in college, you should know about waterwheels, right?"

Ma Renli nodded and said, "I know, I know, I've seen the pattern."

"During this time, take time to draw the waterwheel! Remember to make the waterwheel bigger."

"No problem!" Ma Renyi patted his chest and assured, "Leave it on me."

Wang Zhong asked again: "You should also know the Yantang!"

"I know, I know!" Ma Renli said with a smile, "The weir pond can store water during the rainy season. If, as you said, the weir pond and the irrigation canal are connected together, even in the dry season, we only need to build two more water trucks. The water from the Maixiang River can also be pumped into the weir pond for storage, and when needed, it can be pumped into the irrigation canal by water truck and stored in the field.”

"If we really want to do this, it's definitely not enough to rely on just a few of us. It's best to mobilize the whole village to do it together."

The waterwheel pumping water is simple, but if you want to send water to the fields, it is okay if you are in a plain area, but Maixiang Village is next to Maixiang Ridge.

"In this way, I will buy the cattle first. There are still a few days before Qiugeng. In the next few days, let's go to the field to investigate, study and study carefully, figure out the regulations, and then go to Captain Zhou and Village Chief Wang to discuss this matter. Son." Wang Zhong said.

"I think it will work!" Ma Renli nodded seriously.

The rest of the people looked at the two talking to each other, and couldn't get in the way, but listening to their discussion, the scene of irrigating the Maixiang River water into their own fields appeared in their minds, and their faces followed Show a look of anticipation.

"Do you have any different opinions?" Wang Zhong looked at the remaining people.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Brother Big Chong, we all listen to you, we will do whatever you say!" The three monkeys stood firm.

"Yes! We all listen to you!" Not to mention Lao Ganbang, ever since he followed Wang Zhong to make windmills for others, Wang Zhong taught him the craft without reservation, Lao Ganbang has long since given up on Wang Zhong.

Mrs. Jinhua will not have any objections.

The next day, Wang Zhong and the three monkeys Ma Renli went to the livestock market and bought a bull with slender legs, upright limbs, and piercing eyes. It was about five years old and in its prime. Level [-] medical skills, but by observing words and expressions, he can clearly figure out the health of the bull inside and out. There is absolutely no problem in the whole body, and it is a bull that cannot be healthier.

When the three of them brought the cow back, it caused quite a commotion in the village. After all, it was less than a year since the land was divided, but the villagers also know that Wang Zhong has recently made a lot of money by helping people with windmills, so they are not surprised .

Although the Ma family used to have farming cattle, there were not many of them, and they were all assigned to a mutual aid group formed by several needy households.

When the cattle were brought back, the three monkeys wished they could take the cattle for a walk around the village.

Wang Zhong and the others led the cattle straight to Mrs. Jinhua's house. Mrs. Jinhua's house is not big, just two rooms with a yard, and the stove is next to the kang. The house is quite big and spacious, but the family is very simple.

"Your house doesn't even have a shed!" The yard was also empty, without even a tree, but there was a big tank under the eaves.There is a simple shed against the courtyard wall, with firewood and hay piled inside.

"Well, Mrs. Jinhua, you look after the cow first, let's go to my place and bring some logs over here, and build a shed for the cow first!"

Immediately, Wang Zhong led the three of them back home and brought seven or eight logs of different sizes. It took a long time to build a simple cowshed opposite the firewood shed of Mrs. Jinhua's house. Straw, Lao Ganbang made a simple cow trough on the spot.

Aunt Jinhua patted her chest and assured everyone that she would take good care of the big ox just like her own parents.

In the evening, Wang Zhong stood up and practiced in the courtyard. The country has not yet been established, and rural areas like Maixiang Village naturally do not have electricity.

One hour of standing skills, half an hour of fisting, one hour of weaponry, half an hour of rest, and when everyone is asleep in the dead of night, there are still two hours of practicing Qi Jue. This is what is happening today. Wang Zhong's daily training courses.

Martial arts practice is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. So far, I have experienced more than a hundred years of cold and heat. Wang Zhong's progress is really not fast, and it is far inferior to those masters of various sects who emerged in endlessly during the Republic of China. One is because of the environment in which Wang Zhong lived. Except for one "Swordsman in Double Flag Town", the rest of the dungeon worlds that Wang Zhong experienced were all in a peaceful and prosperous age, unlike the period of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. There are great powers invading, eyeing it like a tiger.

Wang Zhong also experienced a war of less than a month, the time was too short, there was no great terror between life and death, and if he practiced hard on his own, the fifth level was almost the top.

After the dungeon of "Swordsman in Shuangqi Town", after he learned the qi training method passed down by Brother Hai's family, and after killing the Yidao Immortals who oppressed the good, Wang Zhong's martial arts realm, which had been stuck for a long time, has regained his strength. loose.

Wang Zhong could clearly feel that the zhenqi in his body was slowly increasing with every practice he practiced, both in quality and quantity, and his own state of martial arts was also slowly improving. Practicing, applying all kinds of strength to daily life, Wang Zhong can clearly feel that he seems to have touched a vague bottleneck. As long as he can break through, his national art realm will definitely usher in an astonishing growth.

It's just that such a breakthrough still needs an opportunity.

One o'clock in the middle of the night, just after midnight, in the dark night, in the quiet room, Wang Zhong opened his eyes, and there was a flash of light in the eyes, but unfortunately there was still a certain distance from the empty room.

With a thought in his mind, Wang Zhong summoned the system.

After the nameless qi training session with the returning home team, he broke through to the third level, the true qi in his body increased several times, and even the upper limit of various basic attributes approached [-], and his lifespan increased by one year. The spiritual attribute has also been greatly improved, and it is slowly catching up.

Early in the morning, after waking up in the morning, Wang Zhong performed two sets of boxing techniques to stimulate the meridians and activate the blood.

After breakfast, it was dawn, and Ma Renli had already arrived outside the house.

The two first carefully surveyed the terrain around the village, and then ran around all the fields in the village. While observing and discussing records, they did not forget to write and draw. In the afternoon, they walked all the way along the Maixiang River Go upstream.

It is determined that the method of pumping irrigation is feasible.

Back home in the evening, after dinner, the two talked at night by candlelight, and began to discuss the general direction and direction of the irrigation canal, the location of the weir and pond, and so on.

Early the next morning, the two went to find Zhou Yihu and Wang Wanchun.

He told them about the idea of ​​digging irrigation canals and diverting water from the Maixiang River to irrigate the fields.

"Dig a canal to divert water?" Zhou Yihu and Wang Wanchun looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

"Captain Wang, it's not that we don't believe you, but can this method really work?" Wang Wanchun said: "The folks in Maixiang Village have lived in Maixiang Village for generations. think?"

"Secretary Zhou, Village Chief Wang, and Ma Renli and I have conducted repeated surveys. As long as we use three overturned trucks, two weir ponds, and dug ditches, most of the land in the village can be irrigated with Maixiang River water."

Zhou Yihu and Wang Wanchun still couldn't believe it.

Wang Zhongdao: "Secretary Zhou, village head Wang, what you say is unfounded, why don't we go to the scene and take a look, and Ma Renli and I will tell you our thinking, combined with the terrain of the scene, we will know if it works or not. Already!"

Zhou Yihu said: "Wan Chun, let's go and have a look with them!"

"Okay! If it works, Captain Wang and Ma Renli, you will have made great contributions."

The two led Zhou Yihu and Wang Wanchun directly to the upper reaches of the Maixiang River.

"Ma Renli and I have repeatedly surveyed three times. For the generation along the river, this is the most suitable location. The terrain and water level here are not too low, and the difference between the river bank and the water surface is just right. Even if there is a flood, it will not be too low. Wash away the waterwheel."

"A six-meter-high water truck is enough here. Let's dig a canal from here to the small mountain ridge in front, and then dig a large weir pond, dig two upper and lower canals, and the bottom one goes straight to the ground. , the upper road goes all the way forward for 80 meters, and then digs a weir pond, digs a water channel, and pumps the water up with a rollover..."

The plan of Wang Zhong and Ma Renli is to divide the main channel of the canal into two layers, turning with water from four weirs and ponds. The amount will be large.

It took more than an hour to walk around and talk while walking.

Listening to the two people's vivid and meticulous explanation, Zhou Yihu and Wang Wanchun didn't know what to say.

"Comrade Wang Zhong, Comrade Ma Renli, according to your plan, this project is not small!" Zhou Yihu said with emotion.

Wang nodded and said: "It's really not small, so Ma Renli and I divided this forehead irrigation project into three stages! Let's dig out the bottom ditches and weir ponds first. In this case, only one water truck is needed. The irrigation of one-third of the village's land can be completed, and the wheat-growing land in the village can basically account for half. Let's dig a small canal first. If the whole village can mobilize together, it should take up to fifteen days. If we Be quick, it may not take so long."

"After the first stage is completed, let's start the second stage. After the ponds and ditches have been dug, the overturned trucks will be set up to divert water from the first pond. If completed, two-thirds of the land in the village can be irrigated. Go to the Maixiang River."

"Winter irrigation and spring irrigation can be carried out when we have water. We will enter the third stage next year, during the slack season, to widen and repair the canals! We will further improve our entire irrigation system."

"It's really possible?" Wang Wanchun couldn't believe it.

Wang Zhongdao: "Irrigation with water trucks is an irrigation method invented by our ancestors more than a thousand years ago. It is widely spread in the south, in Gansu, and in northern areas such as Shaanxi and Shanxi. Captain Zhou went to the county. You don’t need to look for someone who is knowledgeable, as long as you have traveled all over the world, you should have seen it.”

"How about we try?" Zhou Yihu looked at Wang Wanchun and asked tentatively.

Wang Wanchun hesitated, but looking at the confident Wang Zhong and Ma Renli, remembering the windmill and thresher made by Wang Zhong, and the way they were chattering just now, he gritted his teeth and asked, "We have to do the math first. Cost it!"

Zhou Yihu reacted immediately, looked at Wang Chong and said, "Wan Chun is right, how much does it cost to make these things?"

Wang Zhongdao: "I can do the labor with a few carpenters in the village. The key is the materials. A family of six-meter-high waterwheels and three overturned ones need a lot of wood."

Zhou Yihu said: "How much do you want, tell me the number!"

Wang Zhong said: "..."

Naturally, Zhou Yihu and Wang Wanchun would not directly agree. For such a big matter, the whole village needs to work together. It is necessary to call the whole village, men, women and children together for a meeting to discuss and ask everyone's opinions.

After dinner in the evening, the village head Wang Wanchun had someone ring the bronze bell that gathered the villagers, and called everyone to the front of the stage at the entrance of the village, and told Wang Zhong and Ma Renli about the preparations for the water diversion irrigation project.

Wang Zhong is also an old orator. He first talked about the benefits of irrigation canals, such as saving time and effort, once and for all, and so on. Many folks were moved by the matter of working hard that day.

The next night, Wang Wanchun convened another meeting of the villagers to vote. In the end, more than three-quarters of the villagers in the village supported digging canals to divert water, while the rest were only hesitant, and none directly opposed it.

Under the auspices of Wang Wanchun, the first phase of the Maixiang village water diversion irrigation project was officially launched.
