Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 83

Accompanied by Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang, Xie Shouzheng took almost three days to go around the ditches and mao around Guanzi Village and draw a simple topographic map at the same time.

This person is usually cautious in chatting, but when it comes to professional work, he seems to be a different person, appearing to be in high spirits and eloquent.

Especially after Wang Manyin mentioned Li Yizhi, Xie Shouzheng's words were full of admiration.He bluntly said that the "Guanzhong Bahui Canal" designed by him has benefited millions of people and made great contributions.

Liu Xiangyang heard about this person for the first time, and after learning about his deeds, he was equally amazed.

Few people from other provinces in later generations knew about Li Yizhi, let alone his status in the hearts of the people in the Three Qin lands.

In one sentence, this is a "god" who is worshiped in a temple.Even in this turbulent era, its incense has never been interrupted.

It was also from Xie Gong's mouth that Wang Manyin deeply understood that it is far more complicated than imagined to successfully build a dam on the loose soil of the Loess Plateau.

Everything from site selection to construction materials is exquisite, and a lot of drawings and calculations are involved.For example, the amount of sediment in the past year, the maximum annual rainfall, the reverse filter layer, the spillway...

If there is a problem with the design, a heavy rain may cost countless people months or even years of effort in vain.

In recent years, the Loess Plateau has been vigorously promoting check dams.Many villages were built by themselves, and the design of the dam body was seriously unreasonable.Basically, it belongs to "build it, destroy it, destroy it and rebuild it".

Xie Shouzheng and the others have conducted investigations. In the past three years alone, more than 3000 dam reservoirs were damaged in Yuanxi County due to heavy rain in summer.

Among them, most of the dams broke, and most of the dam sediment was washed away. There are more than 1000 dams, accounting for 34%, and the rest are part of the dams.

During the period, Wang Manyin revealed the idea of ​​digging a pond to store water and raise fish.

Xie Shouzheng didn't think it was strange. The check dam itself has the effect of storing water and raising fish. It only needs to be slightly changed when designing the flood discharge channel.

When the design plan came out, they immediately reported it to Wang Lianshun.

Wang Lianshun didn't delay, and as usual, he recruited a few capable people from the second team to hold a small meeting at night to study.

Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang are naturally among them.

It's just that they didn't expect that even Zhao Jianhai and Wang Mandun would come.

It can be seen that the village also attaches great importance to this matter.

Next, Xie Shouzheng hung the drawings on the kiln wall and began to briefly introduce his design drawings.

The specific location of the check dam he designed is at Dongshanmao near the village.The geographical environment of that area is better, there is a long cliff ditch in the shape of a gourd mouth, and the slope is relatively gentle, close to the Dongla River.

To build a dam body at the mouth of the ditch, the amount of earth and rock should not be very large.

Of course, two spill outlets and sluices were designed correspondingly.

In the event of a sudden rainstorm, as long as the sluice is opened in time to release the flood, the safety of the dam body can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

After the project is successfully completed, about ten mu of land can be increased within a year, and the area will increase in the later period.

Zhao Jianhai was very disappointed when he heard that only ten acres of land had been added, and immediately interrupted: "Mr. Xie, I think your design is too conservative! What is the difference between ten acres of land and no increase?"

"There are already quite a few. Warping dams are a long-term process. They should be small in size, small in groups, and large, medium and small. If you want to increase the area of ​​the river, you can continue to build the second and third roads on the tributaries later. The dam body forms a step drop."

"It's still too slow! I have an idea, let's see if it works," Zhao Jianhai said, getting up and standing in front of the drawing.

With his left hand on his waist and his right hand gesturing on the blueprint, he made a powerful voice: "We will be in place at once, and we will block the entire Dongshan Mountain. According to your calculation just now, at least a hundred acres of Sichuan land will be added. By the way, A neutral reservoir can be built to facilitate irrigation of farmland in the later stage. It serves multiple purposes!"

In Zhao Jianhai's view, since cutting off the Dongla River is not enough, then cut off Dongshan Mao instead!

Do it vigorously!
"This, this..." Xie Shouzheng froze in place, not knowing how to answer.

"Thank you, if you have anything to say, just say it." Wang Mandun urged.

Xie Shouzheng hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth.

"Officer Zhao, the check dam also has requirements for terrain selection. The mouth is small, the belly is large, the ditch slope is gentle, and there are many silts. This can save time, labor and effort, and specific benefits can be seen within one to two years. Dongshanmao interception, the amount of work will be very large, it is simply not something that can be completed by the labor force of Guanzicun Shangbaihao. And it will take a long time..."

"Don't be afraid of a large project volume. As long as we can add hundreds of acres of good Sichuan land to Guanzi Village, we are confident to overcome the difficulties." After speaking, Zhao Jianhai waved his hands at the few people opposite him, showing great momentum.

Seeing that Xie Shouzheng continued to explain, Wang Manyin hurriedly stopped the conversation: "Thank you, if you follow Director Zhao's idea, can you calculate how much labor will be required?"

"According to the calculation of the amount of earthwork, it will take at least 2 person-times, and it will take half a year to complete. Of course, if there are large-scale construction machinery, the speed will be much faster! In addition, since a small reservoir is going to be built, earthwork can no longer be used for construction materials. Stone cement mortar is used...if there is a lack of stone, prefabricated reinforced concrete blocks can also be used."

"Officer Zhao, just do as you imagined. Go to the commune tomorrow and let the higher-ups take the lead to call on other villages to come to our Guanzi Village to send out volunteer migrant workers. In addition, let the commune approve some cement mortar... This is done. , all members of Guanzi Village wrote you a thank you letter!" Wang Mandun said with a smile on his face.

"That's right, Director Zhao, it's really done, and our second team will set up an archway for you!" Wang Lianshun hurriedly answered.

"Officer Zhao, I just like a hero like you who dares to think and do!"

Wang Yanqiang also praised repeatedly.

Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang looked at each other, holding back their smiles.

If Director Zhao could really accomplish such a thing, they would not object.

Not to mention adding hundreds of acres, even adding tens of acres of muddy land to Guanzi Village would definitely be a good thing.

Wang Lianshun and the others probably had the same idea and sent the commune members to work as volunteers, but of course they were unwilling in their hearts.

But I am very happy to let other village members come to do volunteer work for Guanzi Village.

"I'll try," Zhao Jianhai replied with a guilty conscience, without the momentum he had just now.

He came to Guanzi Village as a village cadre, and he always wanted to make a name for himself as soon as possible and be transferred back to work in the commune as soon as possible, so he came up with various bright ideas.

In Director Zhao's view, he only provided ideas, and the specific operations should be completed by the village.

Now let him go to the commune to run the process... Whether it is dispatching [-] migrant workers, or cement mortar and steel bars, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Especially cement mortar and steel bars, these need indicators.And even if the quota is obtained, Guanzi Village has no money to buy it, and the commune can no longer be used to support it.

But looking at everyone's expectant eyes, he couldn't refuse at all.After all, I have spoken my words, so I can only bite the bullet and agree to come down first.

Xie Shouzheng originally wanted to continue explaining, but now he can only pause.After all, he was only invited to be a technical guide, and it was the people of Guanzi Village who really made the decision.

Just complete the work that should be said and done according to one's conscience, and no longer insist on the result.

After Wang Mandun said a few words, the meeting ended hastily.

On the contrary, when sending Xie Shouzheng away, Wang Lianshun took the initiative to comfort him: "Thank you, good things take a long time, and you need to wait a few more days..."

The meaning in the words is obvious, and he is not optimistic about Director Zhao going to the commune to find support.

"I know, I know," Xie Shouzheng could only nod.
