Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight building a dam
The cavalry is heading north, and the further north it gets, the colder it gets.
It's almost April, but the weather is still cold, and it's still snowing heavily in some areas.
As we approach Youzhou, the weather becomes even colder, and there seems to be no hint of spring. It seems that it is still bitterly cold in winter, and it is still extremely cold.
Li Mu estimated that the temperature was below zero.
"It's too cold here!" Li Mu frowned slightly.
"Not only here, the climate in the world has generally been declining recently. In some areas south of the Yangtze River, it is still snowing heavily, and the temperature in some counties close to the South China Sea is also dropping..." Hua Wuying was born in Xuanjing Division and knows some unknown secrets.
"Last year, some areas, including the north, suffered from droughts and floods, and some areas suffered from locust plagues, resulting in a decrease in grain production... Fortunately, there are grain reserves in the imperial court's granary, which can sustain the situation, but the situation in the imperial court is also deteriorating!"
Hua Wuying talked about the situation across the country.
The climate is becoming more and more abnormal.
In the Jiangnan area, the weather used to be hot and would not freeze in winter, but now it does.
In summer, there is severe drought or flooding.
Grain production has been reduced in recent years, and people have been living in dire straits. Grain production has continued to decline in many areas.
"Could it be that the Little Ice Age is coming... the reduction in grain production will cause chaos!" Li Mu worriedly asked, thinking of the scene in the late Ming Dynasty.
Hua Wuying said: "The imperial court has thirty heavenly beings, thousands of great masters, a special team of nearly ten thousand people, an elite force of three hundred thousand innate warriors, and nearly a million local troops... Who dares to
Make trouble. Whoever makes trouble will die!"
Ji Xuewei also said: "The common people's life is a little harder, but they can barely make ends meet... No one will find it uncomfortable!"
Only then did Li Mu suddenly realize.
This is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, but a world of high martial arts.
An innate warrior can resist white soldiers with one against a hundred.
Grandmasters, Grandmasters, etc. have even more terrifying combat capabilities.
As for heavenly beings, one person can be an enemy to a country, and one person can defeat ten thousand armies, which is even more terrifying.
Those high-level warriors are enough to suppress any unrest in the world.
As long as those high-level warriors do not die, the world will not be in chaos.
After walking another hundred miles, a large river appeared in front of them. However, the surface of the river made a violent noise. Li Mu was immediately on guard, and everyone else was also on guard.
But soon, Ji Xuewei smiled and said: "My husband is not the enemy in front of me, but the Beihuang Hou leading the guards to build river dams and canals..."
After getting off their horses, Li Mu, Hua Wuying, Ji Xuewei and others went forward one after another.
Sure enough, by the river, warriors were digging river channels and building ditches one by one. There were not many people, less than a thousand people, but the efficiency of the operations was confirmed very quickly.
I saw a thousand-jin stone being carried by a warrior and moving quickly; another warrior holding a huge shovel, as tall as a man, was digging; and another warrior holding a high-level basket and carrying sand on his back moved quickly.
Each warrior is holding a large tool and is working on the riverbed and building water conservancy.
The farm tools here are generally one size larger and can be moved with great ease.
Li Mu was slightly stunned.
Vigorously miracle.
As long as you have enough strength, there is nothing you can't do.
The construction team only numbered more than a thousand people, with the lowest level of cultivation and innate skills. Half of them were grandmasters, and there were dozens of great masters and one heavenly being. They were like migrant workers at the moment, carrying out construction work.
There are no excavators, road rollers, loaders, sewage pumps, jacks, crushers, steel processing machines, sprinklers, etc. here. They all use primitive manual work, but the work efficiency is much higher than that of later generations of mechanization. As the saying goes, vigorous efforts are made.
Miracle.
There is no excavator, but the digging speed of an innate warrior is equivalent to that of a small excavator, a grandmaster is a large excavator, and a grand master is a super excavator.
There was no roller, so a master just pushed 10,000 kilograms of stones to press the ground.
There is no loader, so we have to use the huge Luokeng mine to transport it manually.
There is also a crusher. When crushing the stone, the Grand Master directly stimulates the true energy to shatter the stone.
More than a thousand high-level warriors worked at a speed faster than a construction team on Earth.
Seeing a group of people coming, many warriors just glanced at it and continued construction.
Only the heavenly being temporarily stopped his task and said, "Who are you?"
Ji Xuewei stepped forward and said: "Greetings, uncle, I am Xuewei... As for this, this is my sister and the daughter of King Zhenbei, Hua Wuying; this is my husband, Wushuang Hou Li Mu!"
"So it's you!"
Beihuang Hou was covered with dirt at the moment, but he just nodded and said: "You have been requisitioned by me, now we will build the river dam together!"
Ji Xuewei was about to say something.
But as soon as Li Mu took her hand, Ji Xuewei fell silent.
"Okay!" Li Mu said, "It's just that girls don't want to participate. We men are enough!"
Beihuanghou said: "Okay!"
Li Mu called and said the task, and everyone immediately accepted it happily. They picked up the tools and started construction under Li Mu's command.
After a long time, Li Mu frowned slightly and said, "Master Marquis, tell me about your water conservancy plan!"
"Building river dams is mainly to prevent floods and also facilitate irrigation..." Bei Huanghou said about the water conservancy plan.
Li Mu shook his head and said: "The water conservancy construction is good, but it ignores the overall situation!"
As he spoke, Li Mu squatted down and drew a sketch on the ground.
The Beihuanghou water conservancy plan cannot be said to be wrong, it can only be said to have the limitations of the times. However, Li Mu had a vision in his previous life, but he considered the overall situation, built reservoirs, built river dams, and established macro-overall benefits.
After analyzing for a moment, Beihuang Hou nodded and asked again.
Li Mu also responded.
There were quarrels and disagreements in the middle, but gradually, the plan was constantly revised and finally finalized.
Construction continues, and the plan becomes more and more perfect.
About a month later, a huge reservoir and dam were formed.
Such a huge project was completed in less than two months and less than 2,000 people.
Li Mu was amazed in his heart, and a miracle happened with his strength.
"Thank you for your help!" Beihuanghou thanked him.
"Nothing else, it's just a trivial matter!" Li Mu said with a smile, "I originally came to Youzhou City and wanted to meet my senior, but now I just want to meet him in advance!"
Beihuang Hou said: "I owe you a favor. If you encounter trouble, tell me my name, and someone in Youzhou will give you face!"
Li Mu said: "Master Hou, does he know how the governor of Youzhou died?"
Beihuang Hou asked: "Is the governor of Youzhou dead?"
It seems like I know it for the first time.
A servant came forward and said: "Master Hou, he died of poisoning just two months ago!"
"It turns out that a Zhizhou died!"
Beihuanghou said, as if an ant had died, and said: "This is also the first time I know. It is too dangerous to be an official these days!"
