Of course, in addition to the farmers who obtained land, the Renaissance Alliance also reaped great rewards in the process of land reform.

Although they were mentally prepared, everyone was still extremely shocked when the cadres opened the warehouses of the elders and landlords.

Without exception, these warehouses were filled with food and property, the quantity was so large that even Nashida, the goddess of grass, was astonished.

In a place like the desert where people can't even get enough food, these people are able to stockpile so many supplies. One can imagine how much blood and sweat of the people are behind this.

Now all these supplies have been confiscated. Except for a part of them being used to help the lower-class civilians, the rest are all used to maintain the daily expenses of the Restoration Army.

This greatly alleviated the supply problem of the Restoration Army, and they no longer needed to rely too much on transportation from the rainforest.

However, the Restoration Army will not stop there. Next, they will go a step further and gradually liberate the oasis in the entire desert.

With Nashida's current plan, it is expected that she will be able to control most of the oases in the northern part of the desert before this year's harvest season.

After all, Teyvat is not Earth. With low productivity, even with such a vast red sand sea, the population is extremely limited.

Even though the number of the Renaissance Army is very limited, if they can defeat them one by one, they are still capable of liberating the scattered oases in the desert.

Chapter 39: Farmland Water Conservancy

"Brothers, work harder and try to finish digging these ditches today."

In the fields beside the oasis lake, Dishia was leading the soldiers to work hard to dig several newly planned irrigation canals.

The soldiers kept waving their shovels, and several ditches were moving forward rapidly. It looked like they would be completed today.

Judging from their final direction, they will eventually meet at a main canal, from which water will be diverted to irrigate the farmland on both sides.

After initially completing the land reform, the alliance cadres began to make unified plans for the oasis' resources.

Among them, establishing a scientific irrigation ditch system is the most important task at present.

I don’t think I need to elaborate on the importance of water to life, but the most lacking thing in the desert is water, the source of life.

However, due to the low level of education, the original use of water by the tribes could only be described as extensive.

In addition to the waste of water in daily life, the tribes are also unable to make efficient use of water in the irrigation of farmland.

Due to the characteristics of the oasis, desert tribes often cultivate the land by spreading out in circles around water sources.

Even if the farmers spontaneously dug some small ditches relying on the wisdom of the working people, the problem of irrigation of large areas of farmland was not something that these illiterate or semi-literate people could solve.

Even for flower growers who were famous for their farming techniques, developing water conservancy projects was a problem that the government was responsible for solving in ancient times.

But judging by the current situation of the Desert Tribe and the House of the Decree, it is clear that neither of them wants to solve this problem.

As for the House of the Ordinances, they do have the ability to repair the water conservancy projects, but they have no motivation to do so.

Because the House of the Decrees had basically no control over the desert, it seemed to have nothing to do with them whether or not to build water conservancy projects, so naturally they did nothing.

As for the desert tribes, although they understood the importance of building water conservancy projects, they did not have the ability to design water conservancy projects themselves.

Even if the Order of the Imams wanted to help the tribes in order to increase production and collect more taxes, these tribes would definitely refuse the assistance from the Rainforest.

Who knows whether you rainforest people are here to repair the project or have other purposes.

What if during the construction, my territory becomes yours? Who can I go to for justice? Right?

As a result, due to constraints from all sides, several plans for joint water conservancy projects in history have all come to nothing.

Finally, due to the lack of a good irrigation system, the condition of these farmlands can only be described in one word.

Those who suffer from drought will die from drought, and those who suffer from waterlogging will die from waterlogging.

The inner layer of land has too much water content and some of it is even unable to grow crops normally; while the outer layer of land has a poor harvest because it does not get enough irrigation.

Therefore, in order to better utilize and protect water resources, Nashida asked Dishia to take Kavi to various liberated oases for field investigations and design a scientific irrigation system based on local conditions.

Of course, Nashida did not just hand over the task to them and sit back and do nothing.

As the goddess of grass, she can clearly sense the growth conditions of plants and give corresponding explanations from the perspectives of water, light, soil, air circulation, etc.

In addition, as a former flower-growing family, his farming skills are absolutely top-notch, if nothing else.

Therefore, in the actual implementation process, it is often Nashida who formulates the plan, and then Kavi, the civil engineer, implements it.

Finally, I would like to mention that Kavi was thrown here by a clerk who did not want to reveal his name.

It’s called making use of one’s strengths.

...

"It needs to be a little deeper here, and a little wider there."

At this moment, Kavi is at the construction site, directing the soldiers to carry out construction accurately according to the drawn drawings.

Although the soldiers are well organized and disciplined, they are not a full-time construction team after all, and relying on them to dig trenches is only a stopgap measure, so Kavi chose to come to the scene in person to keep an eye on it, just in case.

Maybe due to the strong sandstorm in the desert, his beautiful golden hair is now covered with a layer of fine sand, his exquisite clothes have lost their former color, and he looks a little dusty.

Time is short and the task is heavy. If the reconstruction of the irrigation system is completed earlier, this year's grain output can be increased further, and the organization will be more confident in dealing with the old forces.

So during this period of time, he and Dixia led the team to travel back and forth between the liberated oases, and basically never stopped to rest.

Maybe this is the common fate of civil engineers.

Considering that there is only one useful tool now, out of the idea of ​​sustainable development, Nashida also made corresponding promises to him.

"In the name of the God of Wisdom, after the revolution succeeds, you will be the biggest contractor in Xumi from now on~."

So if civil engineers work harder, the three totals and five items are not a dream. (I am sure)

"Brother Kavi, after this section is completed, the construction of the irrigation facilities should come to an end for the time being."

It was Dishia who said this.

She put the shovel aside, brushed off the mud and sand on her body, then jumped three feet high and landed next to Kavi in ​​the tunnel.

Thanks to the efforts of Renaissance Alliance cadres and fighters in recent days, the basic irrigation canals in various oases have basically been completed.

"Well, the next step is just some finishing work, which can be done by ordinary people. There is no need to trouble you and the soldiers."

The ditches that the organization has dug in various oases are just some very simple ditches. Judging from the surface, they do not have much technical content.

Because the real technical content is actually about the design ideas and methods of connecting different ditches into an irrigation network.

Precisely because the villagers in the desert know nothing about this thing, the soldiers of the Renaissance Army are needed to temporarily serve as the construction team.

After all, the Fusion Army is a well-trained army with strict discipline and strong execution capabilities.

Although the soldiers had little experience in engineering construction, their ability to execute ensured that mistakes were unlikely.

As long as they are taught once, they will dig wherever they are told and will not deviate at all. However, the fellow villagers who have never had this experience cannot do this now.

"But after Lord Grass God successfully seizes power, these water conservancy facilities will definitely need to be further improved."

The simple water conservancy facilities being built now are more of a transitional existence, with the aim of increasing the grain production in the base in a short period of time.

Therefore, the quality can only be described as unsatisfactory and barely adequate.

Over time, these simple earth ditches will certainly not stand the test of time, so the subsequent hardening of irrigation channels and the construction of oasis embankments must also keep up.

However, these are things that need to be considered later. At this stage, the organization cannot find so many building materials to do this job.

We can't just tear down the big pyramids nearby just for some building materials.

This is still a bit too exciting for the desert people.

"Brothers, work harder. After today, we won't have to dig every day."

Hearing Dishia's voice from above, the soldiers who were digging also exclaimed "Oh" and dug even harder.

"I really envy Rahman, who always fights on the front lines."

For the Fiery Mane Lion, going to construction sites every day is not a good life. Intimate communication between people is more suitable for her.

It's just physical communication.

Chapter 40 Father and Son

It was another ordinary morning. While the big shots in the city were still sleeping in their warm beds, old Jiayi got up from bed early.

As an ordinary farmer in the rainforest, he has to set out before the sun rises every day to start his new day's work.

Because weeds wait for no one, if he slacks off one day, the whole field will soon be full of weeds.

After taking the bread handed to him by his wife, Jai took his hoe and set out for his field.

He was walking on the path in the village. The houses on both sides of the road had already turned on their lights, and it was obvious that they were preparing to start today's work.

"Hey, Jay, you got up so early again today to catch the trip."

When he reached the entrance of the village, a man carrying a large backpack saw him coming and greeted him.

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Jay raised his head. Although the light was still dim at this time, he could already identify the other person by the voice.

He was his good friend Qiaom. Judging from his appearance, he had just finished his business trip and came back to the village to rest for a while.

"After that kid Jawar went to the rain forest to be a ranger, if he doesn't get up early, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish cultivating our land."

Jay put the hoe beside him. He hadn't seen him for a while. Now that they finally met, he naturally wanted to have a good chat for a while.

"That boy really looks like you back then. I envy you so much. Unlike me, I am still a bachelor."

Qiaom lit a grass cigarette and handed it to Jay. After the other party took it, looking at the village waking up behind him, he couldn't help but think of their past.

They were both born in this small village, and when they were still children, they were good playmates. Whether it was the head of the village or the end of the alley, they had left their traces.

However, after growing up, they did not follow the advice of their elders to stay in this small mountain village, but joined a gilded brigade together.

During their career in the Gilded Brigade, they experienced life and death together many times, and therefore their friendship was indestructible.

However, as time passed and they grew older, their life paths diverged.

After experiencing so many years of ups and downs, Jiayi was unfortunately shot in the knee in his last period of time. He had to return to the small mountain village where he was born with his life savings.

Joem was even luckier and escaped unscathed. He used the capital he had accumulated over the years as a mercenary to start a business as a merchant in the rainforest.

Although there are gains and losses, the advantage is that you can see the scenery in various places of Xumi.

"It's the same everywhere in the rainforest. There's no change from before."

After reminiscing about the past, Joem told Jay what he had seen and heard during his business trip.

"But I heard that things in the desert seem to be a little bit uneasy lately."

But when talking about the desert, he suddenly frowned.

"After so many years of peace, it seems like fighting has broken out over there again. I hope everything stays peaceful."

The two chatted for a while, and after noticing that the sun had risen, Joem, knowing that it was getting late, chose to end the topic.

This time he will stay in the village for some time after his return, so if he wants to reminisce about the past, this little bit of time is not a big deal.

...

After saying goodbye to Joem, Jai walked a short distance up the mountain and finally arrived at his field.

Putting the dry food he carried aside, he swung the hoe and soon turned out the weeds in the field one by one.

As he began to work attentively, the sun gradually climbed higher and higher from the horizon, and it seemed to have reached noon in the blink of an eye.

Looking up at the position of the sun, Jiayi leaned on his hoe and looked at his fields.

Although it had already turned over a considerable amount of soil at this point, Jay knew that he still needed to speed up.

Because today's daylight is already halfway through, if he doesn't turn over the weeds when the sun is at its strongest, then he won't be able to use the sun to kill the weeds.

If the weeds are not killed, the future harvest of his field will be affected.

So, he has to work harder.

However, just as he was about to take a break and continue working, another familiar voice interrupted his actions.
