In the fields, the busy people were happy. Today, there were still clouds to cover the fields, so they didn't have to work under the scorching sun.
The sunlight shone golden after the morning glow, illuminating the whole world with colorful splendor. The entire Changying Territory was like a poem and a painting.
However, Richard always felt something was not right.
He looked at Cinderella beside him, and remembered that she had borrowed the moonlight last night, so he asked:
"Was there no cloud last night?"
Cinderella was stunned for a moment, and thought:
"Yes! It was quite thick, but there happened to be a gap, and the moonlight leaked in. What's wrong, master?"
"It's okay!" Richard waved his hand.
Then, he fell silent.
It had been raining for a while, so the wheat fields didn't need watering, but the grass in the fields began to grow rapidly.
This was not a problem, after all, the manpower saved from watering could be used to weed the fields, and the grass pulled out of the fields could also be used to feed livestock, which was a good use of resources.
But Richard always felt that something was wrong.
After thinking for a while, he opened the system and started to query
"How's the weather lately?"
【Your territory is about to usher in the rainy season, please pay attention to flood prevention, flood control, and lightning prevention! 】
Richard was alert in an instant, and finally knew the source of his uneasiness.
Rainy season!
In other words, the recent drizzle is actually a sign of the official arrival of the rainy season.
Because of the historical reference of the previous landslide, Richard thought of this at the first time.
He closed his eyes and began to recall the situation of all the buildings, and then he was relieved.
The current buildings, except for the castle, all the remaining houses were designed by Richard before construction.
In addition, the surrounding soil has all been petrified to prevent landslides and house collapses due to soil erosion.
The drainage of the residential area is also no problem.
Although the castle is an old castle, it has been able to stand for so many years, at least in terms of quality, there is no problem.
However, the spire of the castle is a problem, and it is more reliable to get a lightning rod.
I don’t know if the people who lived in the castle before were killed by lightning?
There are no other problems with living, so the main flood control is food.
There are canals everywhere in the wheat field, so drainage is not a big problem. 620
That’s right!
River!
All the water will be drained into the river, including the water from the upper reaches. The river will surely rise!
Thinking of this, Richard immediately began to make a plan.
Ten minutes later, he stood up and said to Cinderella:
"Seeing that you have such a hard time learning math, how about giving you a break for the next two days?"
"Thank you for your consideration, Master!" Cinderella jumped up with joy,"Master, are you going to take Ella out to play?"
Richard said with a smile:
"Ride your horse and follow me to the other side of the river"
"Yes!" Cinderella happily agreed loudly.
……
Richard took Rhodes and Cinderella to find Ali, selected a thousand people, and then came to the river.
The river was quite large, and if it flooded in the future, the flood would definitely spread to the river bank.
He rode a horse to check several river banks and found many gaps, which were probably washed away by the rainy season before.
"Rhode, when were these places opened?" Richard asked.
"In reply to the lord, it happens every year." Rhodes answered respectfully while riding on his horse.
Richard frowned immediately:"It happens every year, why don't you repair it?"
Rhodes smiled bitterly:"Lord, when the old lord was here, he often forced these people to repair it, but after the old lord left, the specific management of the Long Eagle Territory was decided by the top, and I don't have the authority to mobilize those people in this regard."
Richard thought about it and nodded.
It makes sense. After all, among those people, some are manor owners and some are tenants. Except for individual businesses, the rest are serfs of manor owners and tenants.
In the absence of a lord in the Long Eagle Territory, the laws are very chaotic, and Rhodes has no authority to formulate any laws belonging to the Long Eagle Territory. The identities of the manor owners and tenants are protected by the laws of the kingdom when there are no special laws in the territory.
Unless a powerful person like Richard forcibly takes control of this place and completely destroys all the systems here. Otherwise, Rhodes really has no way and no power to deal with these matters.
Richard no longer dwelled on these things. He looked from the water mark at the gap to the shore, and based on the height difference, speculated what would happen if the dam broke.
The conclusion of the speculation was not beautiful. If it was not handled, Richard would lose thousands of acres of wheat fields in this rainy season! Counting the 50% system bonus, that would be tens of thousands of acres of harvest, which Richard could not accept. Since we know that it will collapse every year, we must deal with it!
Then, he turned to look at Ali:
"Select two hundred people to be responsible for reinforcing all the river embankments that flow through the wheat fields. Rila, you cooperate with them in the petrochemical reinforcement!"
"Yes! Lord!"
"Yes! Master!"
The two of them took the order at the same time.
"And!" Richard continued to look at Ali and said,"Remember the last time we dug a canal to drain water from the swamp?"
"Remember!" Ali nodded,"Are you planning to divert the river?"
Richard shook his head:
"No, I need you to dig another channel on the other side of the river using the same method as before. It doesn't have to be too deep, as long as it can divert the water from this side and lower the water level here."
"Where does the river flow after the diversion?"Ali didn't understand.
Richard waved his hand and asked Ali to follow him to cross the river by boat.
When they reached the other side of the river, he said:
"I need to clean up the river in this area, including the mud and all the garbage at the bottom of the river, and dig it deeper! As for the diversion I asked you to dig, you don't need to dig too far, just go around a few dozen meters and temporarily divert the river water to the dry diversion over there. I have explored that side before, and it leads to a mountain stream in the mountain."
"I understand. If we let the river water flow into the mountain stream, we won't have to worry about floods!" Ali asked.
"But what if the mountain stream is full?" Richard asked.
Ali was stunned:"Such a deep mountain stream,……"
"I don't want a should, I want absolute certainty!"
Richard shook his head and said:
"Next, when the water level here drops, we will build a dam upstream. The overall water level upstream will rise, and the water level downstream will become shallower."Richard said directly
"Ali is a little dull and still doesn't understand what you mean, sir."
"Just do it!"
""Yes!"
Ali understood the first part, but didn't understand the principle of the dam later. It was obviously not a class now, so Richard didn't plan to explain it to him.
For many things, you will know everything after doing them once.
Afterwards, the two returned to the other side of the river and immediately began to arrange for the remaining 800 people to come and dig the river.
These people were also confused, wondering what the point of their lord asking them to do this was.
Although they experience the rainy season every year, the bursting of the dam in this area has little impact on them. After all, their land had not been reclaimed here at that time.
And when the rainy season comes, they face more difficulties, which is the shortage of food and the safety of the mountains in the area where they live. (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Even more, they see the feces in the villages and towns being washed away, and then they have to prevent their children from being washed away. They don't pay attention to the river at all.
So no one knows the meaning of Richard's doing all this now
……
As the project began, these people began to wield their hoes and shovels like machines.[]
Cinderella explored the stones and tree roots in the soil according to the preset river channel, and turned the stones into soil and the tree roots into rot in advance.
This degree of magic use was not a big consumption for Cinderella.
The consumption last night was mainly the consumption of energy and physical strength. The consumption of magic was also not small, but for her huge magic storehouse, it was only a small part.
After spanking her in the morning, Richard gave her a lot of extraordinary food to restore her energy and physical strength, which was considered to be 80% restored.
With the cooperation of Cinderella, people worked very fast and dug the river channel in just one day.
After blasting the gap and diverting the river water, the water level suddenly dropped sharply, and even the old river channel after the fork was almost only shallow to the depth of the ankle.
So everyone immediately started to build the dam.
With Cinderella, they didn't need to carry big stones, they just needed to dig the soil and raise it little by little, and then Cinderella continued to petrify them.
Richard adjusted the height of the dam to the most suitable position according to the specific situation. With the successful construction of the dam, the riverbed downstream was completely dry.
"I finally understand what the Lord meant!" said a wise man.���
"What do you mean?"
The man immediately said:
"Look at all the fish, shrimps and shellfish on the riverbed. Lord, this is how you fish!"
"As expected of you, you are the lord. You do things differently from us!"
"The key is that we can't do this without the leadership of the Lord and the help of the Goddess!"
They are now accustomed to calling Cinderella the goddess and have long forgotten the name of the witch.
"The Lord is indeed a god! Only our Lord can think of such a powerful method. How could the old Lord know this!"
Everyone laughed.
Then, Richard asked Helen to bring a dozen militiamen to start cleaning up the river with him.
They mainly cleaned up some extraordinary creatures in the water.
After all, they are extraordinary species, so even if there is no water, they are not something that ordinary people can deal with.
These militiamen are now well-trained, each holding a spear and moving very quickly.
Such a long weapon can still be operated freely in their hands, and it can be operated like the wind when it is swung.
In addition to the credit of Charles and Helen, more importantly, the comprehension bonus brought by the militia training camp.
These people naturally comprehended a lot of weapon tricks.
At the beginning, they comprehended the use of knife skills, sword skills, gun skills, stick skills, and various weapons. Of course, they are all some basic practical methods on the battlefield.
But after they obtained spears as weapons, their comprehension in this area far surpassed the comprehension of other weapons..
If any of these militiamen were to be taken out alone, even if they joined the mercenaries, they could become the deputy captain of a team.
This kind of combat power was also fully demonstrated when they were clearing the extraordinary creatures from the river.
Under the leadership of Richard and Helen, they quickly cleared these creatures living in the water.
The people behind them were responsible for transporting the trophies such as fish and clams that were confirmed to be non-dangerous to shore.
Just as Richard was moving forward on the riverbed, suddenly a golden-red shadow swooped down from the sky with great power.
Two of the militiamen around Richard were directly slapped away, and even Helen stumbled and fell on the riverbed. Although she was not injured, she was in a mess.
Richard quickly dodged and barely avoided the opponent's attack.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a three-meter-long big fish with a faint golden light and a little red on its front. The pressure on its body showed that it was obviously a powerful extraordinary fish.
【You were attacked by a supernatural creature, the Killifish!
Richard frowned. Killifish? Never heard of it!
He could understand that a fish could jump around for a long time out of water, but it was really surprising that it could attack people so flexibly and accurately.
"System, what's the situation with this fish?"
Richard muttered silently.
【Even ordinary killifish can live out of water for two months. The power of extraordinary killifish on the shore is not weaker than that of extraordinary beasts!
Richard smiled faintly. The system said this, and he suddenly remembered the professional qualities of a keyboard warrior in his previous life. A fish that lived on the shore for two months was scared ashore by its own kind who were trying to steal its territory, right?
It sounds scary, but that's the truth!
After all, the color of the mark given to this fish by the system is only blue.
If it reaches purple, it is worth taking it seriously.
Richard directly drew out the Eight-sided Han Sword and sneered:
"Hurt my people? Today I will grill fish on the spot!"
Then, the breath of the Red Dragon Breathing Technique burst out instantly, and the fire dragon was wrapped around the long sword. Richard flashed and slashed with the sword! The killifish slammed its tail on the ground fiercely, and its body instantly jumped high, and then smashed down like a whip, intending to smash Richard directly into the riverbed!
""Lord, be careful!" Helen shouted and was about to jump over to help.
Richard laughed:
"No need!"
He jumped up with both feet and went towards the killifish. Then he bent his body in the air and just avoided the fish's tail. This time, it was not a hasty avoidance. As Richard's body rose, the Eight-sided Han Sword had already split the killifish in half along its body! The neat fish bones were attached to one half of the fish body, shining with golden light, exposed to everyone's eyes.
The subsequent battle was much simpler.
Richard even harvested a pearl from a river clam of an extraordinary creature!
Through the system's identification, its effect can accelerate mental recovery.
Richard laughed and turned to shout to Cinderella in the distance:
""Rila, I'll give you something good!"
As he spoke, a pearl emitting a sparkling white light was thrown far away from Richard's hand!
