Chapter 127 River (Updated)

Ji Lin and Wu Bai left because they had important matters to deal with, and this was why Wu Bai was waiting for him here.

An important matter related to the production of the territory.

Water source.

Water is the source of life, and the long and winding blue river that passes through the floodplain has a considerable width. Relying on the large amount of fresh water provided by this river, the territory can support thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

The construction system provided by the system can treat this dozens of meters long river as nothing, and directly lay out the buildings on the river, but he needs to pay extra resources to supplement the missing foundation.

Just like building an engineering college.

With auxiliary construction, the difficulty of crossing the river for the lords is greatly reduced, and they no longer need to spend a lot of time building bridges.

However, the structural strength still needs to be cautious. For ordinary lords, the system will not build a modern and rigorous bridge for you. It will only build a barely usable bridge for you. The load-bearing capacity varies with the width and length of the span.

For those lords who are really unlucky, the system will directly give them advanced bridge blueprints as compensation to alleviate their disadvantages.

This also allows some lords near various cliffs to expand and develop.

And Ji Lin naturally obtained a bridge to the other side of the river. The stability of a bridge relying on water is much better than that of a suspended bridge.

With a little trick, the system will help them generate the foundation and complete the most difficult part of the bridge construction project. After laying the foundation, all the people need to do is to build the bridge with a large amount of wood and then continuously reinforce it.

Because of the distance problem, the development focus of the floodplain is on the side of the town center, which is convenient for transportation and scheduling.

The land on the other side of the river has not been cultivated on a large scale. After a large piece of farmland was laid, carrot seeds and ginger pieces that are easy to grow were sown.

They do not need too much care and live well. When the staple food of the territory grows up, these free-range carrots and ginger will naturally be harvested.

The territory does not have too much manpower to take care of these side crops, so let them grow wildly!

Only a small number of residents are responsible for these carrots and ginger, watering and weeding them regularly.

With such a production plan, the yield of carrots and ginger will certainly drop a lot, but the demand for side food in the territory itself is not high... at least not particularly high at this stage.

Using water and land in exchange for not very high yields.

This behavior of wasting land and water is only affordable for people like Ji Lin who live along the river and have abundant water resources.

In addition to planting side dishes on the other side of the river, the main task of the people crossing the river is to collect and harvest some wild rice and other edible wild plants to supplement the food for the territory.

Or collect some grass plants with better toughness as raw materials for weaving straw hats.

Walking along the river, there is a road here that has been trampled by the foot, showing a broken grass. In another month or two, this road will be officially trampled into a yellow mud road by the people.

"You mean, the water level of this river is constantly decreasing?"

Wu Bai nodded and stopped.

They finally saw a wooden bridge across the river in front of them, and the base was a square stone base. This is the base of the watchtowers. After the watchtowers are built, they will be demolished and the base will be retained for building bridges.

On one side of the bridge across the river, a long wooden pillar was erected in the river. It can be seen that this wooden pillar was originally a complete tall tree, which was cut down and made into a wooden pillar.

Then it was inserted vertically into the river.

The wooden pillar was marked with conspicuous marks to indicate the recent increase in water level, and the marks were simply scratched with knife marks to indicate the water level numbers.

Stepping on the wooden bridge, there was no creaking sound as Ji Lin imagined, it was very solid, and there was a thick sense of stability when stepping on it.

They also had to better observe the water level column inserted on the side of the bridge.

"Although the water level has not dropped significantly, it still has a tendency to drop, and this..."

Wubai took a well-cut wooden stick from his clothes and handed it to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin took the stick and put it in his palm to examine it.

The branches clearly showed signs of being cut, and some of the fragmentary branches were cut off. This was not a branch shape that could be caused by natural breakage.

"At first, there were only one or two branches, and then there were more and more branches. The water level did not drop very much. It dropped in a small area. I also consulted Dean Xu, and he said that this was within the range of natural fluctuations, and it might be a natural cause."

Wuba took out a nearly half-carbonized piece of wood from his bag and handed it to Ji Lin, who took it and looked at it carefully in his hand.

The incompletely burned wood also had special signs of cutting.

The drop in water level was a normal seasonal situation. These signs...

These signs undoubtedly pointed to one thing, something was in their travel activities, or even what camp was in their travel activities.

The territory's water source depends entirely on this river. If something unexpected happens to the river flow, their newly started planting industry will suffer an unexpected disaster.

This is a crisis.

"Is our logging team working nearby?"

Ji Lin asked, his eyes falling on the branch in his hand.

Ji Lin was thinking whether to let the logging team open a path to the river directly from the forest. After all, the ordinary militia reserve in the territory did not have the strong terrain adaptability of the musketeers and patrol sentinels.

With the cooperation of the hunting spiders, they could already travel through the forest at a very fast speed.

If military operations are to be carried out.

A road must be specially opened for the follow-up army to use.

"The logging team was transferred to the hilly area a long time ago. The forestry resources there are richer than here, and transportation is more convenient."

Wuba responded that even now that resources are abundant, the territory still maintains a small-scale logging team. Previously, it was limited by the tools for felling and transportation, and it had not been expanded. Now they have iron tools and are more powerful in logging.

Every day, they bring back a large amount of wood to the territory.

"When Changheng comes back, we must investigate the situation of the trip."

Make a good countermeasure policy.

This is the current territory research and development. He needs to consult his dean. He needs to put the musketeers into mass production as soon as possible, and also upgrade the technology, military technology and application technology.

Ji Lin rubbed his eyebrows, and he roughly guessed what was going on.

The creatures released by the system are not completely dead and live in the same place. Sometimes they will move and slowly form their own small camps. If they are not handled well, it will cause considerable trouble to the lords.

Just like Fang Aipeng's migrating ogre group, they occupied the grassland with rich water and grass, and she could not graze.
