"Master Zhao, you are here in person again."
"Master Zhao, you've worked hard. Please be careful with your steps."
"Master Zhao, the corn seedlings in the field over there are growing very well and are starting to grow stalks."
As Zhao Jun walked along, many people greeted her.
"Sir, these people are so welcoming, it's as if you are one of their fellow villagers."
Qingliu also came and felt surprised and proud to see so many people greeting Zhao Jun.
You know, many people are afraid of seeing officials, and only they are so loved.
"Then I am their fellow villager, Qingliu. No matter what position you reach in the future or how successful you become, you must always remember that there is no difference between us and these people. Without these people, we would not be ourselves."
Qingliu nodded. She understood what the adults meant. She should never think that she is superior to others.
"Sir, before you came here you said we were going to see the waterfall from last time and wanted to divert the water from there."
Qingliu supported Zhao Jun and walked slowly towards the depths.
The road they had taken at the beginning had been made into terraces, so it was easy to walk on.
But when you get to the last section, the terrain is too high and the grass is very lush, so it has not been fully developed.
It's still a bit difficult to walk.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the waterfall they had been to before.
Just like before, the waterfall rushed down from top to bottom, and then flowed deep into the unknown mountains and forests.
Building a water diversion channel here is a project that is adapted to local conditions, so Zhao Jun doesn't have much to learn from and can only come up and observe and try it himself.
"Qingliu, take a look too. How can we divert the water here down the mountain?"
Zhao Jun seemed to be muttering to himself.
She walked around and looked, and from time to time she would touch the soil on the ground or the trees next to her.
"The waterfall here flows too fast. If we want to divert the water downwards, we should at least make it stay slower."
Qingliu didn't quite understand, she just expressed her thoughts.
"Yes, you're right. Look at this waterfall, it falls almost vertically, and the water rushes straight into it. If I want to change its course, I must slow down the flow of water."
Zhao Jun patted Qingliu's shoulder affirmatively.
"Look, we can dig a small water storage pit here and let some of the water flow into this pit. Then I will use bamboo or dig a small canal directly downwards."
"This makes it very convenient to irrigate the terraces with water flowing from top to bottom."
Zhao Jun thought so, and she felt that there was still a lot of room for discussion on this plan.
However, digging a reservoir here is very necessary and must be the first step.
He did what he said, and once Zhao Jun had completely rested, he didn't want to move anymore.
She quickly found County Magistrate Tan to discuss and finalize the matter.
So the Xincheng County recruitment team, which had been closed for a short time, started working again.
Qingliu, the part-time cashier HR, is back in business again.
"Yes, it's the same as before. We'll pay them by the day. Let them follow the captain and dig a reservoir first."
As soon as Qingliu posted the news, it immediately attracted attention again, and those who were good at digging terraces quickly came to sign up.
When the people heard that this was going to solve their water diversion problem, more and more people signed up.
Some families living in high terraces were worried about how far they would have to carry water, but they didn’t expect that adults would help them solve the problem so soon.
Strength lies in numbers. The terraces were built and a small reservoir was completed in just one day.
Zhao Jun was also supervising the work and was really shocked by their speed.
But the reservoir has been dug, what’s the next step?
Zhao Jun looked at the dug reservoir. The waterfall fell vertically, and a small part of the water flowed into the reservoir.
But according to Zhao Jun's idea, this reservoir is just a transit station.
The water stays here for a while and then either flows to the terraced fields or returns to the main flow to the mountains and forests.
Now this reservoir meets her requirements because the waterfall is constantly falling, and when the water in the pool exceeds the limit, it will gush out and return to its original track.
Now we have to consider how to divert the water from the pool.
Just dig a ditch on the other side?
Where does the water in the ditch eventually go? What should I do when I don’t want to water the plants?
Zhao Jun felt that digging a ditch directly would not work. It would be great if there were modern water pipes. The problem could be solved by simply burying a section of the pipe.
But no, things like water pipes shouldn't be here now.
What can be used to replace water pipes?
Zhao Jun thought of bamboo.
Try connecting hollow bamboo sticks together to act as water pipes.
Zhao Jun expressed this idea and sent people to cut some bamboos in the forest behind, where bamboos grow.
A large pile of bamboo was piled on the mountain. Zhao Jun looked at the mess on the ground and suddenly felt very tired, but he had no choice but to continue working.
She started recruiting workers again and always needed help.
First, cut off the head and tail of the bamboo to turn it into a completely empty tube, and then place it in the top reservoir to see if water can enter normally.
At first, the outlet of the pool was too high and water could not flow into the bamboo pipe, so Zhao Jun had the outlet dug lower.
It's fine if you use stones to raise it when not in use.
The first bamboo tube successfully let water through, and the rest became much easier.
One by one, each one must be lower than the previous one.
Also, this is a downward slope, so there is definitely a height difference to the terraced fields.
