Chapter 533
Finally, let's get down to business.
Wang Zhong had long guessed that LV Bai might focus on improving people's livelihood after solving the banditry.
But I didn't expect to find myself so fast.
Sure enough, the group of so-called advisers raised in his family are all rubbish!
Wang Chong didn't want to hide anything, and said, "Lord, I really have a plan. If it can be implemented smoothly, not only the people will be rich, but also the economic strength of our city will be enhanced!"
"Tell me."
Lu Bai was a little excited. The young man in front of him always surprised him!
Wang Chong stretched out his finger and said, "first of all, before people have money, they must be fed. Only when they are fed can they go to production! Why haven't you been fed these years? It's not because of war or laziness, but because of drought."
In this area, the annual precipitation is not much, but it is a plain area with plenty of land.
Because of insufficient water, there is a large area of empty land, but the output is not high.
"I know it's the drought, but isn't it because there's not enough rainfall here?"
LV Bai really didn't understand what Wang Jiong did, because what Wang Chong said was a fact that everyone knew. It's no secret that there is little precipitation here.
So Wang came up with an idea again, that is to excavate water storage channels in each village.
Digging canals is a concept only found in modern agriculture.
Especially after World War II, every village in the South excavated canals to solve the problem of water shortage.
With the canal, the water after precipitation on weekdays will be stored in the canal. On weekdays, fish and shrimp can be raised in the canal, which not only solves the problem of water resources, but also gives people an additional source of food. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
"Dig canals!"
Lu Bai Fuxu said, "is this really OK?"
In ancient times, there was no scientific concept, and it was not known that the concentration of water could reduce the evaporation of water.
"Of course, but the canals must be dug in low-lying areas in order to bring water together in rainy days."
"I can let all villages implement this."
Wang Zhong continued, "the second way is to dig more wells. It's best to have one well for each household."
After coming to this world, Wang Zhong found that there are not many wells in this world. It's not that everyone doesn't want to dig wells, but because the groundwater here is not enough. Many people have dug a lot of land, but found that there has been no water.
"Hey!"
After listening to Wang Zhong's method, LV Bai secretly said that young is young after all. How could they not have thought of digging a well? It's really inefficient.
So he shook his head directly, said the situation here, and then said, "so I'm afraid it's not easy to implement the method of digging wells."
Wang Zhong said with a smile, "let me know where to excavate."
"To you?" LV Bai was stunned, but he didn't expect Wang Zhong to have this way: "Su San, can you really understand where there is water?"
"Of course."
Wang Zhong is very confident. After becoming the nearby rat king, he understands the situation of the whole region.
Rats are very good at digging holes, especially some wild rats. They dig deep holes. Sometimes there are many cases of digging groundwater, so it is easy for them to know which places are easy to dig wells and which are not suitable.
Looking at Wang Chong's confident appearance, to tell the truth, LV Bai felt incredible at first, and he wanted to trust Wang Chong in his heart, but... It was a bit of a myth to see where it was easy to dig a well.
So he didn't believe it very much: "Su San, it's not that I don't want to believe you, but through the ages, there have been many people who are said to be able to watch the well, but in the end, they have been proved to be cheating. Su San, I'm very optimistic about you. Don't do these things for a moment's success!"
Wang Zhong understood that LV Bai was worried that he wanted to cheat money.
He said he was a little speechless. He wanted to take a shortcut and just steal it. Is it still necessary?
"Don't worry, Lord, if you don't believe it, I'll implement it at my home first, and then let everyone in our village have wells and water!"
"Well, if you can really succeed, I will make you a city guard." With that, Lu Bai hehe said with a smile, "I know you don't like bondage, so this official position doesn't mean to restrict you, but it's more convenient when you want to exercise your rights in the future. At the same time, you are also my person. I dare not say anything else, but here you relax, and no one dares to touch you."
Wang Zhong has lived here for so long. Of course, he knows what the moat is.
The so-called city guard means that the direct subordinates of the city Lord are specially responsible for the city Lord.
This position was relatively free, so Wang Zhong was very satisfied and nodded his thanks.
The two men discussed the details carefully, and then the Lord's house sent craftsmen to dig wells in Su Xiaolan's front yard.
Three days later, the well was finally dug.
Looking at the spring overflowing below, everyone was excited. With water, it means that we don't have to worry about running out of water. As long as it's not an extreme drought, we are not afraid of running out of water.
The news spread like wildfire, and everyone in the village knew that there was a man named Su San, who was very smart and could see at a glance where there was water and dig wells.
So, I don't know when, Wang Chong gave another nickname, and everyone called him a ditch digger.
This does not mean that he can dig ditches, but that he can see where there is more water.
................
"There is water in this place, and it is excavated here."
"Although there is water in this place, the stones at the bottom are hard. There is no suitable place near your home, but there is a place under your dining table suitable for excavation."
"There is no suitable water source under your house, but there is a place in your vegetable garden
Wang Chong walked in the village and instructed every family where to dig water. Then these families began to dig by themselves.
Due to the low efficiency of ancient work, it often takes about a day to dig a well.
Ten days later, almost every family in a small village dug a well.
The news spread to the neighboring village. The village head and some villagers brought many gifts and found Wang Zhong.
"Mr. Su, please help. Our village is also short of water. Please go and help us." The old village head told Wang Chong with a bunch of snot and tears.
In fact, he doesn't have to do this. Wang Zhong will certainly help. After all, now he is a city guard.
Glancing at the gifts, there were many, including grain, oil, pork, mutton, and some chickens and ducks, all alive.
"Xiao Lan, take these."
"Oh."
Today, Su Xiaolan seems to have become Wang Chong's little attendant, accompanying Wang Chong to fight.
Wang Chongli stood with a heavy hand and said to the old village head, "rest assured, serving the people is my dream from childhood to adulthood, and it will pass when the things in my hands are handled."
"About a few days?"
"Two days later."
"OK, thank you, young master su."
Wang Zhong left two days for himself. Of course, he didn't really deal with the matter at hand, but to let the rats over there explore the trend of groundwater.
That night, Wang Zhong went over and became a mouse, dealing with the local mice.
In fact, there are rat kings in every territory. These rat kings are usually large in size and live in large nests, in which there are many female rats.
Wang Zhong learned about this piece of rat king from other little mice, and went to the door to ask them to help explore the groundwater.
"Exploring groundwater is also good for us. When humans grow food, they can eat enough, and we can eat enough."
Wang Zhongxin thought, should this rat King know such a simple and understandable truth?
Unfortunately, he thought highly of the intelligence quotient of this rat king.
"Why can we eat when human beings are full? What are you talking about? Are you fooling me? I see that your mouse is impatient. He dares to come to my house and I bite you to death!"
After listening to the mouse king, Wang Chong was speechless directly.
He estimated that the intelligence quotient of the rat king was not as big as that of the previous rat.
At least, the previous rats knew to feed them with tribute from rats, and the rat king didn't understand it at all.
"Maybe this is the IQ that mice should have."
The reason why the rat was so smart before was that he drank the Lingquan there. Otherwise, like this rat king, he still stayed at the level of fighting for three parts of an acre.
It was easy to solve the rat king, and a group of female mice in the nest were trembling with fear.
"King, you will be our king in the future."
"We only serve you, and we will give birth to many, many little mice."
"Come on, king."
A mother mouse is affectionate. Like ordinary animals, mice also worship the strong.
Wang Chong can easily bite their rat king, which has proved his strength and ability to reproduce.
To tell the truth, out of the physical instinct of mice, when Wang Zhong looked at these mice, he really thought they were beautiful.
But he is still a person after all.
At least it's human in my heart, so I didn't touch a few female mice in the end.
After ordering a group of mice to search for groundwater, the mice in this area began a vigorous action to search for water.
....................
Two days later, Wang Chong and Su Xiaolan went to the neighboring village. As soon as they passed, they were warmly welcomed by the village head and villagers.
The villagers are carrying hoes and shovels one by one, and are already ready to go.
As long as Wang Zhong points out where to dig, they will dig where.
Wang Zhong first came to the village head's home. Last night, according to the report of some rats, the backyard of the village head's home was full of water.
"Right here, excavation!"
At the order of Wang Zhong, several villagers rushed up and began to dig.
Then, Wang Chong walked over one by one.
The scale of this village is smaller than that of the village where Su Xiaolan lives, so it has been completed in only one day.
Three days later, the good news came that the wells in the neighboring village had been dug. Now, like here, every household has water.
As the news spread further and further, Wang Zhong's nickname also changed from a ditch digger to a ditch digger.
Many people were extremely polite when they saw him, because it was Wang Zhong, so that everyone didn't have to go a long way to fetch water to eat.
