I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Cheng Jingwei asked very calmly: "What is a keel waterwheel?"

Luo Shixing turned to look at Wei Ziyao: "You don't know either?"

Wei Ziyao thought for a while and said, "I've heard of it, but we haven't used it there."

In other words, Wei Ziyao's hometown should be located on a plain, because the keel waterwheel is usually used when transporting water from low to high.

Luo Shixing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about irrigation. We have canals below, which can be reopened at any time. If they need to be transported up, they can also be used as keel waterwheels. Therefore, there are suitable hillsides to directly build terraced fields."

Cheng Jing frowned slightly and said, "We can't dig too many canals, it's not a good thing for us."

Luo Shixing turned to look at him: "Huh? How should I say it?"

Cheng Jingwei said: "Now our canal is connected to the mountain stream, and we are still digging to the river, and it will be connected to the river in the future. It is really useful in the dry season, but it is very dangerous in the rainy season."

Only then did Luo Shixing realize that this place is divided into two seasons, unlike the Central Plains which has four seasons. In fact, even the Central Plains with four distinct seasons is very dangerous when there is too much rain in spring and summer.

Otherwise, why would there be spring floods and summer floods? The flooding of the Yellow River is a trouble that has plagued the Han people for many years.

Only then did he realize that if the river flooded, let alone the fields, even their house might be flooded!

Luo Shixing immediately grabbed Cheng Jingwei and said, "Damn, you reminded me that the important thing now is not to cultivate wasteland, but to build dams!"

He said that when he dug the canal, he seemed to have forgotten something, and he really forgot the most important thing.

Their canals need dams to regulate the amount of water. They store water in the dry season and open the gates to release water in the rainy season, so as to ensure that the canals will not burst.

Luo Shixing glanced at the clay tablet and said, "Grow as many as you want in the place you were interested in before. For the rest of the place, we can plant a key fruit tree next to the house, and then find those more scattered places to grow vegetables."

He also didn't know how much the output of one mu of land was now, but it should be enough for them to eat. If it didn't work, the back mountain could feed them, and they also raised chickens, ducks and geese, which could be exchanged for food.

The most important thing now is the problem of the dam.

Cheng Jingwei quickly pulled Luo Shixing and asked, "Can you design dams?"

Luo Shixing hesitated: "That depends on what you need."

Don’t look for him like the Three Gorges Dam, don’t say that he traveled once, even if he can travel back and forth, it’s useless. It took so many engineers to build it, and even if he got the information, he might not be able to reproduce it.

Cheng Jingwei said: "It's just...the kind that can keep our place from being flooded as much as possible during the rainy season."

Luo Shixing said: "Yes, but this issue is very complicated. It is not enough to build a dam at the intersection of the river and the canal. We also need to investigate other places. If the embankment breaks from other places, it will still affect us."

Before this, Luo Shixing almost forgot about the rainy season. To be honest, the city where he grew up had never had water. All the news about the flood was read in history books or on the news broadcast. Things are so unreal.

To make it clear, he probably knew that when he saw the geographical location of Jiaozhou on paper, he knew that there would be a rainy season here, and it might also be flooded.

But he will forget about it when he comes here to live.

If it weren't for the sudden mention of it today, he would have forgotten it, and he was a little anxious for a while.

Cheng Jingwei pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's not the cool season yet, even if it's the rainy season, it will take a while."

Luo Shixing was stunned for a moment: "Cool season?"

Cheng Jingwei then explained: "Even the dry season here is divided into a hot season and a cool season. When we first arrived here, it was the end of the hot season, and then entered the cool season. It is expected to be around April next year. will come."

Luo Shixing frowned and said, "It's only four months, forget it, let's see."

It's true that this matter can't be rushed, but in any case, the possibility of flooding during the rainy season has put half of Luo Shixing's good mood down.

Their house was built with great difficulty, so don't let it be washed by the flood again.

Although Cheng Jingwei didn't want the little lynx to worry, he still said, "Actually, it's better to worry about the mudslide than to worry about that."

After hearing this, Luo Shixing was numb. He thought it would be nice to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and it was very artistic.

Especially when I wake up every morning, the forest is full of fog. Standing on the third floor and looking down, I can still see the hazy plants in the forest and small animals running occasionally.

That kind of beautiful picture is actually more beautiful than the photos on the Internet in later generations.

However, reality now tells him that beauty is often accompanied by danger.

President Luo Shi sighed and said, "Okay, I see, are there many mountains where mudslides will occur?"

Cheng Jingwei originally wanted to say it, but he felt that it was a bit revealing to say so much. He just emphasized that when they came here, it was already the hot season of the dry season, and now he said that he knew the local mudslide situation, so what he thought was wrong.

Fortunately, although Wei Ziyao came not long before them, he has experienced it. He quickly mentioned the names of several mountains and said, "It seems that there are mudslides every year, but our Antong Mountain does not."

Luo Shixing always felt that those names were familiar. He tried hard to recall for a long time before he vaguely thought of some, then turned his head to look at Cheng Jingwei and asked, "Did Ale mention before that they usually went to the mountains to collect herbs or chop firewood? Those mountains?"

This Cheng Jingwei can answer, he smiled and said: "Yes, I also went to that mountain to collect medicine before."

Luo Shixing's brows and eyes suddenly relaxed: "Okay, I know why those mountains are there, as long as there is nothing to do in Antong Mountain."

Wang Antong stood by the side all the time, and every time people around mentioned Antong Mountain, he would raise his head vigilantly, thinking he was calling his name.

Luo Shixing couldn't help but patted his head. Wang Antong was a little puzzled but still rubbed his head against his hand.

Luo Shixing was a little helpless: "You're not a dog, don't be like this."

Xiao Shanshi on the side was a little puzzled and asked in a low voice: "Is there really no problem? Why are there problems with those mountains?"

Xue Yuanqin said carelessly: "That must be because we have the High Priest's town house."

Luo Shixing looked at him expressionlessly, and Xue Yuanqin immediately covered his mouth.

Well, he just accidentally said what was on his mind.

Luo Shixing didn't say anything but explained: "The roots of plants can play two functions of consolidating the soil and storing water. That is to say, if there are enough plants on the mountain, the soil and water will stay on the mountain firmly, unless there are special conditions. Heavy rain, so heavy that the mountain can't bear it, may cause mudslides."

After hearing this, Xue Yuanqin was obviously a little surprised: "So there are mudslides in those mountains because there are not enough trees? Is it because of the local people's cutting down?"

Luo Shixing nodded. This is a little science. As for how the root system of plants preserves soil and water, if you want to know the real reason, you need to study it deeply. Now people here don't have the ability to do in-depth research. Just let them remember this result.

So he emphasized: "So even if we cut down trees, we have to plant them at the same time."

Cheng Jingwei explained: "It's not necessary, the plants here grow very fast, and we don't need to replant them separately, as long as we can control the cutting within a certain range."

Wei Ziyao said: "There is a local legend that there are spirit monsters who cannibalize people in Antong Mountain. In the past, people came here to cut trees and collect herbs, but as people often disappeared in the mountains, gradually no one came. Up to now, everyone still keeps secrets about this place, but they don’t know if the high priest’s presence will affect anything.”

Luo Shixing said decisively: "It doesn't matter, go back and tell Alzhen, let him spread the word that I live here to suppress those spirits, but it can only prevent them from hurting people at will. If someone enters the mountain privately and something happens to us Never mind."

In fact, Cheng Jingwei also thought of this method just now, but he didn't dare to say that the little lynx doesn't seem to like this kind of pretending.

In the end, Luo Shixing didn't expect Luo Shixing to put forward this statement on his own initiative, and he couldn't help being very surprised: "You are actually willing to use this rumor?"

President Luo Shi sighed for a long time: "Isn't there no way, let those people come and chop trees to death."

Although not all trees may be cut down, as long as the number of trees drops to a certain level, mudslides will appear, so why cut them all down?

The house he had just built would not move. Between protecting his own property and everyone's lives, and using his status as a high priest to frighten everyone, he chose the latter.

Anyway, the story of him turning a clam into a pearl has been spread all over the county now, and the more it is said, the more it becomes a myth, so he also lay down and resigned to his fate.

Now that he said that he has no divine power, no one would believe him.

This temporary meeting ended here, and after the meeting, Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei went back upstairs and walked upstairs with emotion: "There are too many things going on every day."

He originally thought that he could live a peaceful life after he had a house and a land, but he didn't expect so much trouble.

Cheng Jingwei didn't like to see the little lynx frowning, even if the little lynx encountered difficulties, he would not back down, and the first thing he thought about was how to solve them.

He took Luo Shixing to the terrace, pointed to the west side and said, "That's the orchard you just planned. Have you thought about planting any fruit trees?"

Luo Shixing said almost without thinking: "There must be peach trees, I like peach blossoms."

Cheng Jingwei responded immediately: "Okay, what else?"

Luo Shixing tilted his head and thought for a while: "Is it true that pear trees cannot be planted here?"

Cheng Jingwei didn't know much about this either, so he just said, "Go back and ask Alezhen, he knows, if you can plant some, I'll plant some for you, do you want cherry trees?"

Luo Shixing nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes, I also like cherry blossoms."

It's a pity that apples should still be in Rome these days, and they haven't been introduced to the Central Plains. Otherwise, if we plant some apple trees, pink peach blossoms, white pear blossoms, white and yellowish apple blossoms, and pink cherry blossoms, his orchard must be beautiful. most beautiful!

Cheng Jingwei smiled when he saw the bright eyes of the little lynx.

After laughing, he hesitated for a moment and said, "There is something I want to discuss with you."

Luo Shixing was thinking about his orchard, and after hearing this, he turned his head and asked, "What is so serious?"

Cheng Jing lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I want Xue Yuansi to supervise the workers in the salt mine."

Luo Shixing didn't realize it for a while: "Ah? Why did you let him go? What can he do?"

"No matter what he does, let him go anyway." Cheng Jingwei's eyebrows turned cold: "This person can't stay."
