Start of the famine: Take the crazy batch of sisters to farm and make a fortune

Chapter 126 New News

Ding Xuewei couldn't tell old man Ding that he might die at any time.

As for the fact that there are not a large number of returnees, she is not surprised.

A large number of victims who were supposed to go to the capital were dispersed, and it is unknown how many of them finally arrived in the capital, and whether this percentage can attract the attention of the court is another question. Naturally, sending seeds back to the hometown before spring plowing is just a matter Big question mark.

"I'm not in a hurry to come back if I live well everywhere. Now, the water in Ning County is afraid that it hasn't dried up yet!"

"The ones in the east of the county are almost done, and the ones in the west of the county, our field, I'm afraid we can't do it." Old man Ding said with certainty.

Ding Xue looked up slightly.

He went to the government office today, maybe he got some news.

Sure enough, old man Ding got the news.

"Today, Master Zhang revealed the news to me that the gap in Ning County will not be blocked. After the year, labor will be collected, water canals will be dug, and we will go directly from Ning County to Linhai County."

"You mean? Digging waterways for drainage?" Ding Xue was slightly surprised.

Compared with filling the gap and raising the dam, she always felt that it was more practical to dig a flood prevention channel.

The section of Fuzhou Prefecture and Fengcheng Prefecture is the most downstream of Jiuqu River, and a large amount of sediment accumulates in the river channel in this area every year.

Living in the geographical situation of the two provinces, raising the dam is the most wrong way to deal with it.

This method of constantly raising dams and making the river water higher than the surrounding geographical location, not to mention in this world of low productivity, lack of production tools, and scarce material materials, even in the real world where human and financial resources are quite sufficient, it is impossible. There is no guarantee that these stacked dams will be [-] percent strong.

The Jiuqu River has a large flow, and the dam will break every year, which is a waste of money and people every year.

Not to mention working hard to divert the river directly, at least dig a flood control canal.

When the water level of the river reaches that level, the excess water will be discharged into the flood control canal, or detoured into the sea, or flushed into the reservoir and into the lake.

Whether the water can be used for irrigation will not be mentioned, at least there will be no flooding of large areas of land.

Ding Xuewei can be said to have more knowledge than anyone else in this world, but there are some things she dare not talk about.

Building a dam is a big project, and the court allocates a lot of funds for floods every year. If the flood control canal is completed, the flood control and water control cake allocated every year will be gone?

She who affected this piece of cake, and even the Ding family, is probably a bug in the eyes of many gluttons, the kind that doesn't get out and is unhappy.

"You propose?"

"No." Old man Ding's wise eyes became deep and deep: "However, I think it has something to do with what I said."

Ding Xuewei: "?"

Old man Ding spit out deeply: "That day, when I took the stewards to see the waterwheel, I said casually that the dam has to be maintained every year, not to mention the waste of labor, and the safety cannot be guaranteed. The water pool is different. The water in the tank is almost full, and it will be enough to quickly dig the next reservoir.”

"You mean, that official may have been inspired by your words?" Ding Xue frowned slightly.

Old man Ding looked at her with eyes as deep as a deep pool.

He was very reluctant to admit that his eldest granddaughter knew such things well, but the child's frowning brows and worried pupils were telling him that his eldest granddaughter was so smart.

"I didn't think much about it at the time, but I thought that saying that would make your waterwheel appear logically, but I didn't want to..."

Old man Ding was a little worried: "Judging from Master Zhang's words today, the official has settled this matter. If there are no accidents, my side should not be mentioned."

"There are too many accidents this year, maybe, this matter will not be explored deeply." He hopes so.

"I don't think it's suitable for our family to make any noise anymore." Ding Xue slightly suppressed many thoughts in her mind.

Originally, she wanted to suggest hybridizing wild boars and wild donkeys, making bamboo fiber soft paper, and trying to weave brocade silk.

Now it seems that these things have to be suppressed.

Another prescription, another boiled salt, another invention of the water wheel, and the discovery of konjac, and a few more strange things, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not attract the attention of interested people.

"You!" Old Man Ding's deep eyes flickered.

He didn't expect the child to have thoughts.

Ding Xue frowned slightly, showing a little apprehension.

Immediately, old man Ding thought of Mrs. Li.

He couldn't understand how Li Shi sternly asked the child to tell what he had seen and heard at the old grandma's place.

Guilt flashed in his heart, and he put his hand on the child's thin shoulders.

"You did the right thing. Grandpa didn't see through some things." He discovered Li Shi's greed too late!

Both their grandparents and grandchildren understand the reason why they are guilty of committing crimes, but others may not be able to understand it.

When you don't have enough self-protection ability, the best way to protect yourself is to restrain your light.

Taking a deep breath, old man Ding pulled back his thoughts: "It's good now, and you can suppress any strange thoughts in the future. Either wait until the day when your fifth uncle is capable, or wait for Anping!"

"What about the fields over there?" Ding Xue slightly changed the subject, but the old man's understanding surprised her and took it for granted.

I don't know that he can understand, I only revealed it on purpose.

"Grandpa, the gap won't be blocked. Will the Lijia Village and other villages at the water mouth have to be relocated?"

With the words in his mind that this child will always grasp the key points, old man Ding smiled with a smile on his lips: "Yes."

"What about the property?" At any rate, the family has a hundred and ten acres, so we can't let it go.

"Moving away, most of the land in the west of the county is still soaked in water. Spring plowing is impossible this year. Looking back, there are two plans. One is to wait for autumn to plant winter vegetables, and the other is to relocate to other towns or counties. If you want to relocate, take With the land deed and house deed, twice as much new land can be reclaimed in the place where the residence is moved, and the homestead can be divided.”

After a whole spring and summer, the silted flood will dry up anyway, and those who want to go home can go back. At that time, there is no need to worry about the problem of the river breaking the embankment.

If you don't want to waste half a year, or you can't afford to waste it, you can choose to migrate.

"One mu of fertile land is exchanged for two mu of forest land," old man Ding added.

Ding Xue was slightly surprised: "!"

There is such a good thing!
The price of good land ranges from ten taels to thirteen taels, and the cost of reclaiming an acre of forest land is six to seven taels.

The government is absolutely at a loss, Bai Zizi lost three taels of financial revenue.

"It is estimated that not many will move out." Ding old man sighed: "Now there are not many families who can afford more than a dozen taels of silver, and there should not be many big landlords who are anxious to start planting in spring."

"Uh!" Ding Xue's eyes sparkled slightly.

Big landlords are not necessarily willing to make troubles, and small people have no money.

This incident really only highlights the heart of the local officials for the people!

"Our family?" Her own family doesn't count, let alone the people in the west of the county.

With just one glance, old man Ding could see what she was thinking, but they were just ordinary people.

"At home, I will handle it after the next year, and open it as soon as possible. Everyone is here. Keeping those properties will only increase the distress."
