Chapter 186: Water retaining dam engineering investigation

  Chapter 186 Inspection of water retaining dam project

   Qu Mao stayed in Sky Island for two days. After taking the stones mined from Sky Island, he returned to the outlying island by sea boat.

  Nowadays, there are three berths at the civil dock on Sky Island, and three berths on the civilian dock on outlying islands. There are 12 seagoing ships in the territory of Yi Village. Qu Mao considers arranging one or two seagoing ships to be stationed between the sky island and outlying islands for a long time.

  This means that the sailors in the territory of Yi Village who go to the southern waters to explore the island can also arrange four to five ships to berth on the empty island or outlying island at night, ensuring that the sailors can explore farther.

There are 12 sea-going ships, which is a good arrangement. Qu Mao is still considering whether to build more civilian docks on outlying islands and empty islands. If he is not worried that the gold coins will be spent too quickly, Qu Mao would not even consider such a small issue. Just start building and you're done.

  Back to the outlying islands, Qu Mao immediately went to see the construction progress of the dam on the Lihe River.

  Since Qu Mao convened a meeting with the core personnel of Yi Village territory last time, it is obvious that the construction speed of the Li River dam in Li Village has increased rapidly.

  When Qu Mao came to see it in person, the two-kilometer-long embankment had been seamlessly joined together, and two 200-meter-long sections were under construction at the same time.

After hearing the news, Jia Sixie came up to Qu Mao and said, "My lord, I plan to arrange three construction sections to start construction at the same time, so that we can repair the 600-meter-long embankment in about two weeks. The dam project is expected to be completed in half a year."

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "If the number of citizens is sufficient, then you can arrange it yourself. If the number of citizens is not enough, it doesn't matter if the construction of the Lihe dam is slowed down a bit.

  However, the carpentry workshop and blacksmith shop in the village need to help me make more than 10 small carts and send them to the empty island as soon as possible, as well as 100 wooden barrels.

  The carpenters and blacksmiths in the small village north to the north know how to make small carts. The small carts sent to Sky Island, whether it is the bottom of the cart or the surrounding baffles, must be made of wooden blocks that are tightly stitched, and no gaps are allowed.

  Because the empty island mainly uses small carts to transport silt to the outside of the folding space, which is used to lay the soil for planting grass. "

  Jia Sixie said: "My lord, I will remember this. After a while, Village Chief Jia Chongde will come, and I will ask him to make arrangements immediately, and try to complete the project within three days and transport it to Sky Island.

  But the subordinate has another problem..."

   Qu Mao glanced at Jia Sixie suspiciously.

  Jia Sixie didn't hide it, and said directly: "My lord, you brought 300 people here last time, but Li Village has already reached the upper limit of resettlement population.

  The main reason is that the area of ​​cultivated land can't keep up, and the subordinates are considering developing the north bank of the Li River, or resettling free people.

  The original plan was to resettle 15 families of boat workers with a total of 81 people. However, when Master Kong Ming passed by Li Village two days ago, he told his subordinates that these 15 boat workers were only temporarily resettled in Li Village, and he would take them away for another resettlement later.

  Not to mention the removal of these 81 people, there are still other free people in Li Village who need to be resettled, and recently there are male and female leaders who apply for marriage and become free people. The subordinates have already reported to Master Su Yan. "

   Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about the 15 families of boat workers. Kong Ming should have been inspecting the construction site of the shipyard in the past two days. At that time, a small village called Fulou will be built near the shipyard to accommodate these 15 families of boat workers.

   As for Li Village has reached the upper limit of population resettlement, you want to develop the north bank of Li River, there is no problem with this plan.

You can build a wooden or stone bridge leading to the north bank of the Li River, and then arrange for the people to reclaim the cultivated land on the north bank of the Li River. Of course, there is no problem in building houses on the north bank of the Li River. wild beasts harass our people.

   The fertile cultivated land on both sides of the river should be owned by the territory as much as possible. The 10 units of cultivated land allocated by the free people should be reclaimed as far away as possible from the banks of the river.

  If it’s really not possible, you can consider reclaiming the arable land allocated by the free people by themselves, and it’s good to give economic compensation from the village.

Farmland can also be reclaimed in other directions away from the village. It is nothing more than an additional process of cutting down the trees and cleaning up the weeds on the ground. You and Franklin did a lot in Yi Village in the early days. You don’t need me to teach you. ? "

  Jia Sixie nodded and said, "Of course, my lord understands my subordinates well.

  The fertile cultivated land on both sides of the Li River must be known to be reclaimed by the people of the territory as much as possible, and the final ownership belongs to the territory.

  However, in the past two days, Lord Su Yan sent messengers to send a message, asking her subordinates to consider issues from the position of the island owner of the outlying islands, and to look at the development and development of the entire outlying islands, and try to publicize and encourage the citizens to turn to free people.

After thinking about it, the subordinates realized that only by developing the north bank of the Li River to the free people would it be attractive enough. After all, the Li Island was different from the Yi Island, and any place to reclaim the cultivated land would face the harassment of wild beasts, and it was impossible to have enough soldiers. Arranged on the development guard mission on the outlying islands.

  Therefore, part of the fertile cultivated land on the north bank of the river must still be given up. Otherwise, because the land is fertile, reduce the allocation quantity to 5 units per household? They are also allowed to buy 5 units at their own expense, for a total of 10 units..."

Hearing Jia Sixie's rambling talk, Qu Mao thought about it for a while, and said helplessly, "Island Master Jia, Su Yan said that you should consider issues from the position of Island Master, and I quite agree with you. Consider the development and development of the entire outlying island, rather than a village out of the village.

  The standard of 10 units of arable land for each household of free people, I suggest not to destroy it, you should think of other ways. "

  The head of Li Village, Jia Chongde, had rushed over, and Jia Sixie immediately asked Jia Chongde to arrange the task of producing small carts and wooden barrels that Qu Mao said.

   Qu Mao nodded at Jia Chongde, and continued: "Island Master Jia, there are at least Northward Village, Li Village, Fulou Village, Shipyard, Lihe Embankment and Lihe Reservoir on the outlying islands that you need to consider.

  In the future, like Yidao, we will even build stone roads connecting the various small villages, so we can’t just focus on the village of Licun, although we intend to build Licun as the governing place of Lidao.

  I still suggest that each household of the freedmen should be allocated 10 units of arable land. There is no way to sell the fertile land on both sides of the river. It is just that female freedmen are not allowed to be independent households.

  You can still encourage young men and women to form families and transfer to freemen together. "

Jia Sixie said: "My lord, this subordinate has been educated. Afterwards, this subordinate will communicate and discuss with Village Chief Jia Chongde, and the following subordinates will also arrange trips to visit the small village in the north and the small village of Fulou. We will never disappoint your lord's expectations." .”

   Qu Mao patted Jia Sixie on the shoulder and said, "Master Jia, you and Master Franklin are the earliest residents of Yi Village, even Zhao Pan and Zhang Da are later than you two.

  So the two of you I trust and rely on the most are the two of you. Don’t put any pressure on it. If you think of a good solution, implement it. "

  Jia Sixie bowed again and said, "Thank you for your trust and love, my lord. I will definitely not let you down."

   Chatting with Jia Sixie until it was time for lunch, Qu Mao inspected the construction progress of the Li River embankment, then said goodbye to Jia Sixie and Jia Chongde, asked for a shuttle boat and six sailors, and headed up the Li River.

  Backing back to the construction site of Beixiang Village in the afternoon, Qu Mao directly went down to the bottom of the valley, which is the bottom of the water storage area after the construction of the Lihe Reservoir. The trees at the bottom of the valley had been cut down, and there was no entrance that seemed to be a folding space at the bottom.

  When Qu Mao came down, there were only dozens of leaders pushing more than a dozen small carts, transporting branches, leaves, gravel, soil and other things to the hillside to clean up the bottom of the reservoir.

  Rows of zero-level quarries were built along the edge of the valley. In each quarry, ten leaders were mining the rocks in a realistic mining mode, continuously widening the bottom of the valley.

In the center of the valley, there may have been four zero-level quarries in the early days. A square pit with a length and width of 20 meters and a depth of 5 meters has been mined. in a deep pit.

  At present, the water in this deep pit is about one meter deep, so it can be seen that the water output from the three mountain springs far from the source of the river is not large.

  Zhaifeidel was patrolling halfway up the mountain, and when he saw Qu Mao inspecting at the bottom of the valley, he came down to Qu Mao's side, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, you are welcome to inspect the project area at the bottom of the Lihe Reservoir.

  The subordinates at the bottom of the reservoir in the entire water storage area have led the soldiers to search repeatedly, but no treasure chest was found. There are 7 entrances to the suspected folding space on the mountainside, but none at the bottom of the reservoir.

   It will take about a month before the subordinates can clean up the entire bottom of the reservoir, including the felling of trees, the ground cleaning of the bottom of the reservoir, and the regular mining of rocks at the bottom of the reservoir.

  If the water retention dam of the Lihe Reservoir is completed and water storage begins, it is estimated that it will take five months to fill the bottom of the reservoir based on the water output of the three mountain springs. We have plenty of time for construction. "

   Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Zhaifeidel, since you are so sure, when Master Kong Ming returns, let him start building the dam for the Lihe Reservoir.

  I will return to Yidao tomorrow morning. At that time, I will arrange another 300 citizens to come to support the construction of the Lihe Reservoir. However, these 300 citizens are only supporting the construction of the Lihe Reservoir, and they are not moving here. I have to make it clear to Kong Ming.

When Kong Ming finds the construction location of the shipyard, we will start construction of several major projects on the outlying islands simultaneously, including the Lihe Reservoir Dam, the Lihe Dam, the shipyard, the construction of Fulou Village, and the expansion of the north bank of the Lihe Village. Engineering, etc., must be constructed without discrimination.

  These 300 citizens are used as mobile resources, and if there is not enough, the manpower of these 300 citizens will be mobilized to support.

  I will most likely bring these 300 citizens over from the purple light path in the underground passage within a few days. Please tell Kong Ming to let Kong Ming plan and arrange these leaders.

  In addition, let Kong Mingduo communicate with Jia Sixie about all the projects in the village. "

  Zhaifeidel said: "Yes, my lord. This subordinate will remember it. Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinate and Master Kong Ming will make proper arrangements."
