Chapter 78 Drainage System
Since the establishment of the investigation brigade, these rats, who are known as the most elite in the entire love education camp, have been enjoying royal treatment.
At least, that's how it seems to other ratmen.
Every morning, Iket would order everyone to lie down in hiding, and they would lie down like this until noon.
In the eyes of other rats, just lying there every day, without the need for training or labor, and with a food supply that far exceeds that of ordinary rat people, is simply paradise!
But what they didn't know was that Ickert had worked hard to train the mice's will and patience. To this end, he inserted a wooden pole where the sun shined, and neatly stacked twelve wooden poles around it.
A stone.
At the same time, all the ratmen who entered the hidden state were informed that as long as the shadow of the wooden pole points to a certain stone, they can rest.
However, if you want to truly end the training, you must wait for Ictor's order.
Their clan leader would often start working when the reconnaissance team started covert training. He would sit on a chair nearby and give instructions to his subordinates and supervise the progress of various tasks.
If any brigade was slow or acted as an example, he would ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to severely punish them with a kind face, and those who were serious would be dragged directly into the dungeon.
Just like this, in front of the reconnaissance team, a total of three ratmen were brought in front of Ictor, and then they were dragged towards the castle while wailing.
Don't know what the final outcome will be.
Then the rat experienced the same treatment as the cave monitor lizard, a new territorial torture called "bacon hanging".
"Of course you can."
The tragic situation of the rebels always shocked these elite ratmen, making them immerse themselves in training.
"Lord, I have to say that this is a very good plan. Three days is definitely enough, and we have already collected a sufficient amount of bamboo. As long as you agree to lend me your ratmen, we will have enough manpower.
It will be done soon.”
This is really crazy.
At this time, he was hanging upside down on the tree, and the soil he had eaten and the acid water in his stomach were vomited all over the floor.
"There is still enough lime, and we have been trying to harvest it, but Lord, there is enough lime for the pool but not enough. The pool is still filled with wood that had to be processed in the past. It will take time to build a new pool!"
But for the ratmen of the reconnaissance team, their clan leader was a bit too diligent.
When black hunger reaches a certain level, rats may even be able to eat dirt.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. If you encounter any difficulties or need anything, just come to me and I will arrange it for you. In short, things must be done well."
Ickert said with satisfaction. Unknowingly, the two of them had already talked about the afternoon. The mice were really hungry and thirsty, so they no longer kept Old Kent and decided to let the mice eat first.
When there is no food, just say that the farmers can't grow well. It's because no one becomes a farmer. They never think of doing more for the farmers. Even the livestock in the castle are lost. It's the farmers' fault!
The same is true for the greedy masters of those empires. They only thought that collecting more rent from farmers would increase their income. They never thought about growing more food per acre of land. No one could save their dignity and do practical things.
Old Kent said, holding sawed hollow bamboo poles. The length of these bamboo poles exceeded the width of the field ridges in the territory.
The other carpenter nodded.
Calculating this, it will take about three days. Is three days enough for you to complete the pipeline processing and installation simultaneously?"
A sufficient number of water control pipes and drainage pipes must also be ensured between each field to prevent excessive precipitation and the accumulation of water that cannot be drained out in time.
Otherwise, why did I have to learn carpentry from you back then? It was because the lords thought that carpenters could still do some work and produce something useful, instead of being like farmers, producing the food they were accustomed to and couldn't finish eating.
"Then let's try another method."
Ickert said that the drainage and irrigation systems must be completed as quickly as possible without any delays due to pipe work.
"Your suggestion is not impossible, but we don't have that much time. Will your lime be enough?"
"I can't make a conclusion, Lord. I need to know how you want us to lay out the drainage pipes."
Therefore, Quanling's water control system simply uses the principle of a connector to pass bamboo pipes through the field ridges and arrange them at the same height, so that the water level of the entire field is maintained at a depth suitable for the growth of water wheat.
But just when he started eating, Ictor noticed the rat's movements.
"Lord, this is the bamboo we collected. According to your request, the center was completely hollowed out."
As a result, the rat people were not allowed to rest, but that was not the end of it. For the rat people, the most unbearable thing was hunger.
While the rat people watched helplessly as the shadows covered and even exceeded the stones, Ictor was still busy dealing with matters in the territory.
These drainage pipes will be blocked with mud first, and can be directly penetrated when necessary.
The clan leader is always diligent in government affairs, arranging all rewards and punishments in the territory in an orderly manner, and never misses anything important.
"That's good. I'm going to use these things to lay water supply pipes in the fields. You try to select these bamboos and sort the pipes with the same thickness for easy access."
"Yeah yeah."
As for the field drainage system, a cross-shaped bottom ditch is dug directly in the field, and thick pipes are used to connect the bottom ditches in the field.
"The first batch of pipes were laid directly and marked for subsequent replacement. As for the second batch, we carried them to the remaining barns in the village, dried them and smoked them, and then put the last batch
Put the bamboo in a suitable place to dry,
Generally speaking, no matter how busy the lord is, he will finish handling today's affairs around one o'clock, but today there is something unusual.
In fact, a rat did eat dirt.
Just after Minister of the Interior Yarrow left, the Storm Rats from the First Brigade came up again together with the carpenters.
Old Kent walked out of the investigation team and sighed to the carpenter beside him:
"Alas, except for a few well-meaning municipal officials, I have never seen any lord care so much about his own farming!"
After the overall plan was laid out, Old Kent also understood Ickert's intentions. The old man patted his chest and promised that he could handle this matter well.
Ickert immediately told Old Kent about his idea of laying pipelines. The fields in the territory were all small fields, and there were no particularly wide roads between the fields.
But the effect of black hunger has not faded away, and the rat is constantly trying to bend its waist, trying to eat its own mice to relieve its hunger.
Other rat people were also more or less affected by hunger and began to become restless. Fortunately, black hunger was more of a physiological effect, which gave the rats some room to overcome.
Around the outermost periphery of the field, Iket also planned to dig a drainage ditch, which was planned to lead to the lower reaches of the Fanfna River, at a certain height from the river surface to prevent backflow.
Iket said with satisfaction that the water conservancy system is the core of farming. Now with bamboo, there is a way to obtain pipes in large quantities.
The only thing that tortures the rat is the training stop time that never ends.
"But Lord, there is still too much moisture inside these bamboos. If they are used directly, insects may grow. I suggest you take them to dry in the sun first.
Judging from the current weather conditions in the territory, it will take about two or three days to dry out, and the dried pipes will definitely last longer."
"Those knights and wizards only linked food production to the land and farmers, and they never bothered to associate with mud-legged people.
When you want more food, you find more farmers and cultivate more land, but you never think about building more windmills or digging more convenient canals.
Now that I see the lord, I seem to see light. Compared with those bastards hiding in the castle, Lord Iket's virtue is as dazzling as the sun!
With such a lord here, why should we worry about not living a good life?"
After the carpenter finished speaking, he turned to the rat man on the side and said:
"You guys, you really don't know how well you live when you're full! If I were you, I would definitely enshrine the lord in the church like a saint!"
Rat Man: "."
