Chapter 179 Water Conservancy and Development

"Did production stagnate because of the attack..."

Trees can find a piece of land to take root and use sunlight and nutrients to quickly restore their health, but during this period of time, these tree people cannot continue to work, and the amount of stone and iron ore originally scheduled to be delivered this week will be greatly reduced.

After receiving Li Yan's message, Ji Lin mourned for Li Yan for three seconds and sent a message to indicate that he had received it. If the other party has any needs, he can provide various materials assistance if there are sufficient resources. If these generated wild monster camps are left alone, they will launch a large-scale invasion of the area under the jurisdiction of the lord due to various factors.

Ji Lin was because his troops discovered it early and preemptively eliminated the small camps in this area, not giving them time to grow and develop.

If there is no camp, there will be no large-scale invasion like Li Yan.

Solve the problem from the root.

Those lords who don't care about development are likely to suffer heavy losses in such an invasion. The system will not specifically remind you that there are enemies heading towards your territory.

He will not remind the lord that there are camps developing around.

Li Yan's attack also made Ji Lin more cautious. He decided to let his musketeers conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the area within 50 kilometers during this period. It happened that the number of hunting spiders had all recovered and could be consumed.

As for the problem of raw materials, Ji Lin still had a lot of iron ore stored in his warehouse that had not been smelted into steel for the blacksmith shop.

After the iron ore in stock was consumed, he went directly to the market to purchase iron ore and let the blacksmith shop smelt it into steel and sell it to make a lot of money. As long as the production capacity was in hand, he could make money anyway.

It's just that he made less money.

Earn a processing fee.

There is still profit in addition to the salary paid to the blacksmith.

All this profit was invested by Ji Lin in the water conservancy project that was in full swing. The Yellow River has two flood seasons a year. Although this river is not as turbulent as the Yellow River, it is also a difficult problem to solve once it enters the flood season.

To enjoy the benefits brought by the river, you must face the disasters that the river may bring.

There is a risk of flood disasters in the floodplain, but the system will deliberately help them curb the frequency of natural disasters. No one wants to encounter an unexpected disaster when the territory has just developed.

When it determines that a territory has the ability to deal with natural disasters, it will withdraw its containment.

Natural disasters are also part of the test.

Water conservancy projects require large investments. The flood control dams and water storage reservoirs along the coast, as well as the artificial lakes created by diversion and storage, can benefit a hundred years once they are built.

If this riverside plain is well managed, the agriculture of the territory will have a higher upper and lower limits.

Ji Lin has received the preliminary survey report submitted to him by Chongshan. He originally wanted to build the reservoir near the goblin camp that Changheng led to destroy before. The vegetation in that camp has been developed by the goblins, and they don’t need to spend extra energy to reclaim a camp for themselves.

This was the original plan. After an exploration and investigation, it was concluded that it was too far away, the loss of manpower was too serious, and it was inconvenient to maintain. Later, the plan was adjusted to build a dam and various supporting water conservancy facilities 30 kilometers upstream of the territory river.

A water conservancy facility built 30 kilometers away from the territory can leave enough buffer space and response time for the downstream agricultural areas if a flood disaster occurs upstream.

The whole construction plan is very good, but the only problem is that it is very expensive, so expensive that Chongshan has not yet given him a complete estimate of the fiscal expenditure data.

In any case, this reservoir plan was temporarily shelved and turned to building flood control dams and some water storage reservoirs near the agricultural area to prevent possible flood disasters in the short term in the future.

These flood control projects were built together with the water diversion channel, which just happened to make use of the large amount of soil excavated during the water diversion channel work. This soil was combined with stones to pave a higher river beach. Then plant all kinds of green grass and various reeds transplanted from the swamp on the river beach, allowing them to reinforce the originally loose soil with their roots.

Forming a natural flood-control river beach, planting large areas of herbaceous plants on the river bank can prevent a large amount of silt from being swept away from both sides when the river rises, silting up in the river channel, and then the water rises higher.

If Ji Lin hadn't worked hard to complete the task, he couldn't think of how to provide the large amount of resources needed to complete these projects.

After signing his name on the report submitted to Chongshan, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that with his signature, the resources accumulated in his warehouse would be emptied instantly, and the people who had just finished the autumn harvest would also begin to invest in this water conservancy project that could benefit the territory for a long time - taking the first step.

It was really refreshing to spend money at that moment.

After ending his imagination of the future, Ji Lin turned to the complicated paperwork. In order to continue the current highly centralized planned economic model of the territory, even he, the lord, had to devote himself to paperwork. He would do it when there was work, and rest when there was no work.

I don't know how the enrollment work of the dean is going.

Have those students arrived at the territory? Can the talented and potential children in the territory keep up with the teaching tasks?

He is waiting for the rune craftsmen to be trained from this group of people to work for him!

If everyone is at school, he still has to arrange some time to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the territory entrance ceremony... Ji Lin doesn't like this complicated process. So according to his request, everything should be kept simple, and there should be no such process of standing for an hour to listen to the speech, but enough respect should be given to the students in entertaining them, and food, decorations, and school uniforms should be prepared.

The school uniforms are even designed by the dean (actually, the dean sewed and copied them. He really didn't have the energy to design clothes himself, so he randomly picked a few templates from his memory and sewed them together. Ji Lin looked at it and thought it was very beautiful, with a very modern white and blue exquisite design style.

Nearly 300 students each match two clothes, and one piece of clothing costs two golds, but because of mass customization, there is a 20% discount, which means about 960 golds are used.

It can't be saved, these are all necessary expenses of the territory-anyway, most of the students are paying tuition to the college, and they can still make a small profit overall.

Ji Lin approved the dean's funding application with a wave of his hand.

As long as the money is not in hand, it won't be so painful to spend it.
