For the next few days, Zhuang Yu stayed with the members of the Guiliu clan, and the dragon never saw the end.
Let Shaohao take the little mushroom to take a bath every day, the little mushroom's mouth is so upturned that it can hang an oil bottle, so it doesn't want to be with this big villain who once snatched its bean cakes and ate them all in one bite .
However, this big villain is also good as a mount. Watch it climb on his head and stand up, stand up and spit flames, how mighty it is!
Zhuang Yu always went out before dawn and came back late at night.
This continued for several days, and the people in Chidi City were also paying attention to it while they were busy with their own affairs.
This night, it seemed to be a little different. People from the Guiliu family lit torches all night and went to the river. After a busy night, they didn't know what they were doing.
The next day, everyone was still the same as before, and the genius woke up. The first thing they did was to wash their faces in the river under the dam.
This is a habit they have developed since the formation of this river. Washing a refreshing face is comfortable even if they are busy all day. Unlike before, let alone washing their faces with water, there is not enough water to drink.
As soon as they approached the river, they noticed the difference. There were several huge "monsters" looming in the river.
Is it a water monster? But it's not right, this is filtered water, and the water monsters have been intercepted on the dam, otherwise they wouldn't dare to let the children of Chidi City come here to bathe and play in the water.
Besides, there is the coercion of the ancestor beast here, and the water monster dare not emerge from the water.
So what are these "monsters"
When a monster appeared, they must see clearly, otherwise what would happen if something happened
As you get closer, you can also hear the sound of splashing water and the laughter of children like silver bells.
When I got closer, I found that on the monster, a group of children were lined up, lying on a tree trunk, barefoot, laughing and stomping on the monster.
The gigantic monster made a creaking sound, and then began to spin, bringing water into the air and spreading it around.
Zhuang Yu is starting the waterwheel with a group of radish heads. The first time the waterwheel is started, it needs to be given a rotating force, and then it can rely on inertia to rotate itself under the impetus of the water flow.
Little Mushroom saw a group of little radish heads having fun, and ran over, lying on the tree trunk and kicking hard, but its legs were too short to step on the leaves of the waterwheel.
I only saw a little mushroom, lying on the tree trunk, blushing, kicking the legs in the air, like stepping on a hot wheel, oh, oh, why can't the mushroom boy step on anything.
A group of little radish heads are also very happy stepping on the rotating water wheel, this is really fun.
Zhuang Yu shouted, "Pick up the trunk and leave, let's start the next waterwheel."
The tree trunk is a temporary frame they built, that is, a 100-meter tree trunk, and it is just a frame built on both sides of the river. It is very simple. These children are the waterwheels lying on this tree trunk.
Only then did the people in Chidi City realize that this was not a monster at all, so they ran over with confidence.
I saw that even if a group of children left, the things in the river were still spinning by themselves, and then they kept bringing up water and pouring it around.
The people in Chidi City opened their mouths, "Is this thing automatically watering the grass?"
Oh my god, there is no need for people at all, it is helping them water, and it never stops, going round and round.
You know, the people in the Green Mulberry Department used to spend a lot of time every day to lift so much water.
The eyes of those who saw the big water wheel couldn't help but straighten, "What kind of magical thing is this, it's simply a magic weapon."
"Didn't Shaojun say that he is building some water truck, which can replace the people in the Green Mulberry Department to water it? Let them have time to expand the planting of grassland."
Looking at the continuously falling water, "This is the waterwheel. With it, there is no need for people from the Green Mulberry Department to carry water every day."
When everyone reacted, there was an uproar, and then there was jubilation. Shaojun finally got the waterwheel out after working for these days. From now on, it looks like an artifact.
A group of people ran along the river, seeing that there was a waterwheel every other distance in the river, and their faces were full of smiles. With these waterwheels, they could have more grass, which meant that they They can raise more cattle and sheep. Recently, they are worrying about the problem of too fast consumption of meat.
They can all imagine that life in Chidi City will get better and better in the future, and maybe it won't be long before they don't need to save food. Thinking about eating meat as they like, they are so happy that they can't help laughing Come.
As more and more people came, the entire river bank was lined up with people looking at the waterwheels, and the cheerful discussion never stopped, and the heart was comfortable, and the laughter was one piece at a time.
"Since Shaojun came back, the smiles on our faces have never stopped."
"Look at how vibrant our Red Emperor City is now, and as long as there is Shaojun, our Red Emperor City will become even better."
Everyone is full of hope for the future, and the atmosphere that glows like a dead tree is affecting everyone.
In fact, the waterwheel alone is not enough for watering. It can only water the grassland by the river, and it has to cooperate with the ditches.
The waterwheel keeps pouring water into the ditch, and the water in the ditch flows to every piece of grass and every field. This is also the concept of watering with waterwheels in ancient times on the earth.
There aren't many waterwheels in the river now, these few days, the Guiliu family has been working day and night, taking turns to go into battle, and they only produced five or six waterwheels.
These five or six waterwheels can be regarded as experiments. Zhuang Yu looked at the waterwheels that can be operated normally, and he is going to let the Guiliu family make a large-scale production. He wants them to have a waterwheel every other section of the entire river. Become the most beautiful scenery in Chidi City.
Although this water truck irrigation project cannot keep up with the dam, it is definitely a big project that shocks people.
Zhuang Yu looked again, and then asked a group of children who couldn't stop playing to exercise. They had to exercise their bodies and fire skills every morning.
Zhuang Yu went to find the people from the Green Mulberry Department by himself. Now it's time to dig the ditches. Of course, the people from the Green Mulberry Department alone are not enough. He has to call the people from the Lost Sheep Department to help.
The Lost Sheep Department, that is, the family responsible for animal husbandry in Chidi City.
Green mulberry planting grass, dead sheep grazing, the two tribes usually have the most contact.
Ditches are not just a few ditches dug randomly, they must be well planned so that every piece of grass can be supplied with water.
After thinking about it, Zhuang Yu dug in the form of a chessboard.
The soil here is loose, and digging is effortless.
Zhuang Yu called Sang Huai, the leader of the Qingsang Division, and Yang Mu, the leader of the Lost Sheep Division, and talked about his plan.
The two were very excited. They also went to see the waterwheels just now. For them to grow grass and herd animals, they were magical tools. They knew better than anyone how amazing those waterwheels were.
What they thought was impossible, but Shaojun really did it.
The two agreed with each other, and they probably understood this ditch after hearing Zhuang Yu's talk about it. After all, it was not such a difficult thing to understand.
However, tools are needed to dig a ditch, and measuring tools are needed for how far to dig a trench and how to dig it straight.
Zhuang Yu simply went to the volcano once again with unused iron tools, and smelted a large number of hoes.
In this way, the iron tools collected by Red Emperor City for so many years will be exhausted. There is no way to do this. Iron ore should not be found in the desert.
Zhuang Yu made a tape measure out of animal skins again, and the scale was roughly determined by himself based on the meter stick. He also plans to use this set of scales in the future and will not change it.
Let the Guiliu family fix the handle of the hoe. With the hoe for digging the ground and the measuring tools, Zhuang Yu led the people to start digging.
Ditches, criss-crossing, began to appear between the grasslands. Even where there was no grass, Zhuang Yu asked him to continue digging, because they had to expand the grassland area.
The ditch divides the grassland into squares of similar size, and each square can absorb water from the ditch by itself, which is very beautiful.
People in Chidi City are used to passing by the river once in the morning, looking at the big waterwheel in the river, looking at the square grassland, after a busy day, and looking at it again when they come back in the evening, how satisfied they are .
Large areas of ditches have been dug out, and where there is no grass, people from the Green Mulberry Department have also started to plant grass.
Then they found that the grass that they used to be able to grow alive with little care can now be easily grown alive, and the growth is gratifying.
He said in his heart, God bless their Chidi City, even God wants them to live a good life in Chidi City.
Zhuang Yu smiled and said nothing. In his opinion, the ability of Little Mushroom is too easy to use. In order to avoid prying eyes of interested people, he is not going to tell anyone for the time being.
A large area of green grass began to appear. Although there are still some young shoots, it should not be long before they can grow into good grass.
Look at groups of calves and lambs running around, even if they grow up, they still have enough to eat.
Everyone is busy happily and can't stop. While digging ditches, the people in the Green Mulberry Department are constantly expanding the planting of grasslands, the people in the Lost Sheep Department are busy domesticating a large group of lambs and calf, and the people in the Ghost Willow Department are busy in the dark. Making waterwheels day and night, it takes a lot of waterwheels to fill the entire river. The Yunmeng clan has also started to produce salt steadily, and the output of sea salt is indeed very impressive.
Even a group of little dicks are living a fulfilling life. They are just bricks now, and they can move them wherever they need them.
"Brother Yu, we helped dig a lot of ditches the day before yesterday, and we went to herd sheep yesterday..."
"Today I went to see the calving of a cow in the Department of Lost Sheep. The calf ran very fast shortly after it was born. But the cow was too thin. Uncle Yang Mu said that it would be killed if it didn't gain any more meat."
Zhuang Yu was taken aback. They generally don’t kill cows and ewes. Who knows when Ruidi City and Baidi City will sit on the ground and raise prices like salt and stone. Just in case, they are also breeding their own cattle and sheep. The most ideal The best situation is that they don't need to go outside to buy calves and lambs in the future.
Zhuang Yu is a little strange, the cow is very thin. He has seen the sheep and cattle raised by the sheep herders, they are very strong.
I couldn't help but ran over curiously to have a look, and then I was stunned, "Uncle Yangmu, do we have many such lean cows?"
Yang Mu replied, "There aren't many of them. It should be that Ruidi City and Baidi City sold us indiscriminately. These sons of a bitch."
The corner of Zhuang Yu's mouth twitched, and he said, "In the future, let the people in the caravan buy more such lean cows."
Yang Mu was stunned. No matter how you raise such a cow, it will not be fat. He looks anxious every day.
Zhuang Yu thought, this is not a cow, it is a horse, of course it is not as big as a cow.
It is also beneficial to raise some horses. After all, not all the ministries of Scarlet Emperor City have giant beasts and warriors have giant beasts, and horses can make up for this gap.
How convenient it is to use a horse to carry some things for ordinary people.
Zhuang Yu confessed, and then ran to Yantian, because there was a big event today, the caravan from Chidi City was going out today.
It stands to reason that the caravan in Chidi City would only go out once a year, but the situation is special now.
The salt they produce, in addition to supplying the tribes of Chidi City for their own consumption, is now starting to have a surplus.
The purpose of the caravan going out this time is to sell salt.
Seeing the sacks of salt being resisted by the clansmen against the Thunder Behemoth of the caravan, both Jiao Hong and Jiao laughed, "The seal is tight, don't spill it."
Who would have thought that there would be a day when they would sell salt in Chidi City, and it would be such a good salt.
Zhuang Yu also had a smile on his face, and asked Jiaohong and Jiaodu to bring back some smaller lambs and calves. Their current grassland is expanding and growing very fast.
Jiaohong and Jiaodu smiled crookedly and nodded. When these cattle and sheep grow up, their meat in Chidi City will be much enriched, and they will no longer have to plan to eat meat every day like now.
Zhuang Yu thought for a while, and asked Jiao Hong and Jiao both to return some cuckoo birds. He saw that some of the children in Chidi City were still not strong enough, so he planned to give them an egg every morning.
Let the children eat an egg every morning, so it is not true, the standard of a well-off life.
The caravan went out in a show of force, and they were going to do a big fight, venting the bad breath of these years, they are all five major forces, they are not afraid of those grandchildren.
But not everything went so smoothly. For example, their peppers and soybeans could not grow. The sun was too strong. Even if they were planted in water, the leaves on them would be scorched.
Because the bath water of small mushrooms was used, all the peppers and soybeans were green with green vines and burnt leaves on the top, which looked very strange, but it was impossible to bear fruit in this way, and it was useless to force it to grow.
Peppers and soybeans are not like the green grass they planted. This grass is extremely drought-resistant and has a particularly tenacious vitality. This is the reason why they chose to plant it in the first place, and other grasses can't help it.
Peppers and soybeans are relatively drought-resistant, and they cannot be grown, let alone pepper, garlic, and fragrant leaves.
Zhuang Yu is going to let the clansmen plant these on a large scale, and it will also improve the living standard of Chidi City.
Zhuang Yu frowned, it seemed that he had to think of a way.
But what is the best way
The eyes look at the endless yellow sand in the distance and the lava lake at the volcano.
His eyes couldn't help but move, maybe he really has a way.
