In the east of the river, the sun rises slowly, and the bright morning glow plated a layer of magnificent golden light on the thousands of hectares of colored glass river.
The morning wind is slowly, the water waves are rippling, and the dark green river water keeps bumping into the gray rock foundation, turning into white waves, swirling, spitting bubbles, and then disappearing without a trace, leaving only the never-ending sound of waves.
The sluice is like a small castle, standing by the Jinshui River. The river flows through the gate and along the channel paved with green bricks to the distant rose lake.
Victor and his entourage stood on the wall and enjoyed the sunrise of the golden river.
"The Boren River in the north is also a famous river, but it is like a ditch compared with the Jinshui River." Princess of the sassanne Empire, the first daughter of the moon bear family, and the future mistress of the copper halberd City, Angie Daikelian sighed.
Duke monstok nodded and said, "Jinshui River is magnificent, vast and distant. It divides the north and the south. It is worthy of being the largest river in the world."
Duke Williams took back his hot eyes from the South Bank of the river, smiled and said, "although this is not the first time for me to appreciate the Jinshui River closely, every time, I am shocked by her grandeur."
Ignorant Yankees, water conservancy project is the key... Marquis farul of Neville Kingdom disdained the special envoy of the sassanne empire''s sigh on the Jinshui River. He leaned over to Sylvia and said: "Your Highness, since ancient times, only the river water flows into the Jinshui River, and no one has ever introduced the Jinshui River into human territory. You and your family have created a miracle. On behalf of the Neville royal family, I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to you."
Sylvia raised her mouth, took Victor''s arm and said gracefully, "this is the credit of my love."
"My student, you really didn''t disappoint the teacher. Well done!" Roland''s blond hair stirred the dawn and smiled and patted Victor on the shoulder.
Twelve days ago, the convoy of envoys from various countries set out from Jinshui city and arrived at Pinghu Town led by Randall last night. After a short rest, they hurried to the sluice gate to watch the sunrise of Jinhe River. Along the way, the team advanced along the embankment of the main canal. They saw with their own eyes the artificial main canal 4 or 5 meters wide, the node reservoir 100 mu in size and the main sluice gate comparable to the castle.
Although the church has long publicized the water conservancy project and the new farming and animal husbandry system to the local lords, the Lords still have a skeptical attitude towards the water conservancy project in the man horse hills. In their view, digging a canal of thousands of kilometers is simply an unimaginable project. Because the Jinshui River is low-lying and gathers hundreds of rivers, if water is diverted from Jinshui to irrigate farmland, it will take a thousand kilometers of artificial labor The canal must have a drop of at least hundreds of meters.
How much manpower and material will it take? How long will it take to finish?
However, the fact is right in front of us. In just over two years, Randall collar has built nearly 110 kilometers of artificial canals, and the canals have been opened. The river water flows into the territory of Randall family, fills large and small node reservoirs, and flows back to Yinyue River from the auxiliary canals. Regardless of the auxiliary canals, node reservoirs, stream reservoirs, and agriculture, forestry, fisheries and animal husbandry driven by terraces, Randall collar only Relying on this main canal, about 600000 mu of farmland can be irrigated, which is equivalent to doubling the area of cultivated land.
No one can ignore the huge benefits brought by water conservancy projects and new agriculture and animal husbandry, and behind this technology represents a new world pattern.
Among the envoys of various kingdoms, Marquis faroor of Neville was the most active in introducing hydraulic engineering technology.
Neville is a mountainous country with rich mineral resources and relatively limited farmland and pastures. It is exaggerated to say that it is difficult to be self-sufficient in food, because Neville has a small population, 60% of which are mountain people.
Mountain people have lived in the mountains with inconvenient transportation for generations and live by hunting and gathering. They submit to the rule of the Lord and regard Neville''s people as their own. In fact, they have always been in a semi autonomous state, and only a few people will respond to the Lord''s call. Neville''s nobles and clergy need these mountain people to squeeze the living space of monsters, so they rarely ask the mountain people Labor.
Half of the remaining 40% of the population are migrant miners, and the real people of Neville account for only 20% of the total population of the country, which is far lower than the proportion of children and refugees in other kingdoms.
The limited population base leads to a low degree of social division of labor. The handicraft and military industries in the kingdom of Neville are very backward, and daily necessities and armaments depend on imports. The neville people sell minerals to dodo and purchase weapons and armor from dodo. Only they know the taste.
Fortunately, the terrain of the boulder mountains is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Neville can resist the orcs in the northern wilderness with only a few elite soldiers, but the minerals will be dug up one day. At that time, what''s the difference between Neville''s knights and nobles and broken nobles?
The royal family of Neville is close to the church Privy Council. Pope Clement secretly warned the king of Neville that the emergence of new farming, animal husbandry and water conservancy projects will promote the outward expansion of the human country. Once Neville misses the opportunity to explore the wilderness in the north, he will never recover.
The neville people are well aware of the actions of the Sassanian empire in the northern wilderness. They are ready to wait for the shining knights and imperial forces to gnaw down the hardest bones, and then send troops from the boulder fortress to open up a large territory.
The problem is that Neville''s population is too small. What is used to enclose the land?
The Royal think tank believes that large-scale water conservancy projects must be built at all costs before other forces react. This is not just for food and arable land, but to attract migrant workers. The great construction itself has the function of transforming refugees into people. If other kingdoms start building water conservancy projects, the cost of absorbing migrant workers in Neville will become higher.
Different from the political pattern of other kingdoms, the Lords of Neville live in the royal capital. They can easily reach an agreement: the royal family takes the lead to raise 15 million kinshores, absorb 400000 refugees through the kingdom of SUS, import food from the Sassanian Empire, build a large-scale water conservancy project system nationwide, and promote new agriculture and animal husbandry.
The problem comes again. The combination of sluice, canal and reservoir seems simple, but it is very exquisite to form a large system, which involves new hydrology, geography and topographic survey. At present, the priests of the church have not understood these new knowledge, even master Edwin, the founder of the new discipline, is in the stage of exploration and self-improvement.
Clement put forward a plan: funded by the kingdom of Neville, ivory castle and Silver Tower work together to test and build a hydraulic engineering system, so as to speed up three new disciplines.
The key to the plan lies in the attitude of the York family. The Marquis of faroor shoulders the mission of inviting master Edwin to visit Neville. He is ready to be slaughtered by Sylvia. Unexpectedly, Sylvia readily agreed to Neville''s request and did not put forward too many conditions. She just asked Neville to be open to people and horses in the future fine iron and iron ore trade.
To tell the truth, farouer didn''t quite believe that such an exquisite irrigation system was Victor''s masterpiece, but since Sylvia wanted to publicize the reputation of her little lover, what''s the harm of flattering him?
"Lord Randall, your talent is amazing." The Golden Knight of Neville is not stingy with his praise
Marquis faroor will not know that Victor has the magical and extraordinary ability of x-3. Master Edwin has to listen to him if he wants to improve the new discipline. Perhaps before long, the geographical environment, hydrological conditions, monster population, the distribution of Se silver mine and fire element crystal mine of Neville kingdom will appear in the study of silver moon manor.
With this, Victor can plan the development strategy of the golden regiment in Neville kingdom.
"I just came up with an idea by chance. The improvement and implementation of the water conservancy project was jointly completed by master Edwin and the scholars and priests of the church." He said modestly.
"Victor, the giant brick kiln was invented by Anthony, but the strategy of raising canals with bricks is your masterpiece." Duke Williams smiled.
Reputation is not only intangible wealth, but also objective influence. Not to mention anything else, just look at Natalia''s tender eyes. Sophia''s Guardian knight is convinced of her male master. Sylvia made Victor famous, which helped Victor establish prestige in the eyes of saber toothed tiger knights and ensure that the master-slave relationship of Randall family remained unchanged.
This is crucial!
The strategy of digging canals for soil, making bricks and maintaining canals can be said to be the finishing touch of water conservancy projects. Sophia couldn''t help but look amazing.
Sylvia helped me publicize my reputation. It''s understandable that Archduke Williams also added fuel to the fire... Victor thought secretly. He didn''t find his position very special. In the eyes of the major forces in Gambis, he had a deep meaning.
Victor is Sylvia on the right and Princess Roland on the left. He is both Sylvia''s lover and an attendant from kite castle. Sylvia has always retained the status of independent Lord of Randall family, mostly expressing goodwill to kite castle, while Williams helped Sylvia publicize Victor''s reputation and responded to the goodwill of York family. Victor has become the link between Renma hill and kite castle It seems that the tone has been set. Although there will be friction in the construction of Hong Kong South expansion, it has nothing to do with the overall situation of joint development... The heirs of all major families thought of it at the same time.
Compared with water conservancy projects, the Lords of Gambis were more enthusiastic about exploring the southern continent.
Neville''s land is poor and its population is limited. The Lord entrusts the territory to the housekeeper and priest, who live in the prosperous capital of the king. The influence of the Neville royal family on the Lord is more powerful than expected, and can even unify the price of minerals. If Neville''s lords could not unite with the king, their territorial resources would have been swallowed up by external forces. King Neville wanted to build a large water conservancy project, and no Lord would object.
The local power of Gambis is strong. Kite Castle wants to build canals running through all territories. Even if the Senate has discussed it for hundreds of years, it will not have results. It is in the common interest of the Lords of Gambis to spend their energy on developing the southern continent because they quarrel over water conservancy projects.
"The fish people in this beach have been cleaned up." Holding the shooting hole of the city wall, Archduke Williams said in high spirits: "in a few years, we can help barbarian friends cross the river from here and enjoy the scenery of the southern continent by the way."
On the beach, there was no fish man, only sentries and low walls. The sentry post is about 14 meters high, with a base made of green brick and a wooden arrow tower on it, which can accommodate three archers at the same time. Each arrow tower is no more than 100 meters apart. It can be covered alternately without leaving any dead angle of shooting. The low wall is also made of green bricks, with hemlock logs on the outside. Although it is simple, it can effectively hinder the range of activities of fishmen.
The sentry arrow tower and low wall are the river beach Fishman defense system commonly used by the Borui people.
It took victor and Nicole more than four years to actually control the 4km long and 800m deep beach near the sluice. The York family relied on this simple and effective fish wall to build a port.
Strange... Isn''t Archduke Williams going to build a port in chebman? What does he mean by that?
Victor frowned slightly. Just as he was puzzled by Williams'' words, there was a sudden chuckle among the envoys of the kingdoms.
"Your Highness Williams, please forgive me. It is not easy to build a port on the Jinshui River bank. It took our ancestors of Borui Kingdom 80 years to build the red port. If Gambis wants to build a port, it is almost impossible to succeed with this fish wall alone."
Williams turned his head and said with a smile, "it''s count ashlibor of Borui kingdom. Your family is famous for building ports and shipbuilding. Can you give us laymen some advice?"
