Chapter 83 Good deeds need more time

Accompanied by Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang, Xie Shouzheng spent almost three days turning around Gougou Mao Mao around Guanzi Village and drawing a simple topographic map.

This person is cautious when talking about his professional work. He seems to have changed his personality when talking about his professional work.

Especially after Wang Manyin mentioned Li Yi's date, Xie Shouzheng's words were full of worship. To put it bluntly, the "Eight Huiqu Canal in Guanzhong" designed by him has benefited millions of people.

Liu Xiangyang heard of this man for the first time. After knowing his deeds, he was also amazed.

In later generations, few people in other provinces know Li Yi's date, let alone his position in the hearts of the people in the land of Sanqin.

In a word, this is a "god" who is worshipped in a temple. Even in this turbulent era, its incense has never stopped.

It was also from Xie Gongkou that Wang Manyin realized that the successful construction of a dam on the loess plateau with loose soil is far more complicated than expected.

From site selection to construction materials, a lot of drawings and calculations are involved. For example, annual sediment load, annual maximum rainfall, inverted filter, spillway

If there is a problem with the design, a rainstorm may cost countless people several months, or even years, in vain.

Over the years, warping dams have been vigorously promoted on the Loess Plateau. Many villages built their own dams, and the dam design was seriously unreasonable. Basically, it belongs to "build and destroy, destroy and rebuild".

Xie Shouzheng and his colleagues once made an investigation. In the past three years, more than 3000 dams and reservoirs in Yuanxi County have been damaged due to summer torrential rains.

Most of the dam broke, and more than 1000 dams were washed away, accounting for 34% of the total. The rest of the dam broke and the spillway was damaged.

During this period, Wang Manyin revealed the idea of digging a pond to store water and raise fish.

Xie Shouzheng didn't think it strange that the warping dam itself has the function of storing water and raising fish, as long as the design of the flood discharge channel is slightly changed when the time comes.

When the design plan is ready, they report it to Wang Lianshun immediately.

Wang Lianshun did not delay either. As usual, he recruited several capable people from the second team to hold a small meeting in the evening to study.

Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang are naturally among them.

Just didn't expect that even Zhao Jianhai and Wang Mandun came.

It can be seen that the village also attaches great importance to this matter.

Next, Xie Shouzheng hung the drawings on the kiln wall and began to briefly introduce his own design drawings.

The check dam designed by him is located in the east hill beside the village. The geographical environment of that area is good. There is a long cliff ditch in the shape of a gourd mouth, and the slope is relatively gentle, close to the Dongla River.

Build a dam at the ditch mouth, and the amount of earth and stone should not be too large.

Of course, two flood outlets and sluice gates are also designed accordingly.

In case of sudden rainstorm, as long as the sluice is opened in time, the safety of the dam body can be guaranteed to the maximum extent.

After the successful completion of the project, about ten mu of land will be increased within one year, and the area will be increased later.

When Zhao Jianhai heard that only ten mu of land had been added, he was disappointed and immediately interrupted, "Thank you, I think your design scheme is too conservative! What's the difference between ten mu of land and no increase?"

"There are quite a few. Warping dams are a long-term process. They should be mainly small in size, clustered in small groups, and combined with large, medium and small ones. If you want to increase the area of Sichuan, you can continue to build the second and third dams on the tributaries in the later stage to form a stepped drop."

"It's still too slow! I have an idea, do you think it's OK," said Zhao Jianhai, getting up and standing in front of the drawing.

His left hand stuck his waist and his right hand sketched on the drawing, making a strong voice: "We will arrive at the site at one time and intercept the whole Dongshan Hill. According to your calculation just now, at least hundreds of acres of river land can be added. By the way, a neutral reservoir can be built to facilitate the later irrigation of farmland. More at one stroke!"

In Zhao Jianhai's opinion, since it is not feasible to cut off the Dongla River, we should cut off the Dongshan Hill instead!

Do it vigorously!

"This, this..." Xie Shouzheng was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.

"Thank you, just say what you have," Wang Mandun urged.

Xie Shouzheng hesitated and finally decided to tell the truth.

"Director Zhao, warping dams also have requirements for terrain selection, such as small mouth, large belly, gentle ditches and slopes, and many warping lands. This can save time and labor, and concrete benefits can be seen in one to two years. If the whole Dongshan Hill is intercepted, the work amount will be very large, and it is not possible for hundreds of labors in Guanzi Village to complete it. It will also take a long time..."

"We are not afraid of large quantities of work. As long as we can add hundreds of acres of good Sichuan land to Canzi Village, we are confident that we can overcome the difficulties." After speaking, Zhao Jianhai waved at several people in the opposite direction, showing great momentum.

Seeing that Xie Shouzheng wanted to continue to explain, Wang Manyin stopped the conversation and said, "Thank you, if you follow the idea of Director Zhao, how many workers would you need?"

"According to the calculation of earthwork volume, it will take at least 20000 person times and take half a year to complete. Of course, if there is a large construction machinery, the speed will be much faster! In addition, since a small reservoir is to be built, the construction materials can no longer use earthwork, but stone cement mortar... If there is a shortage of stone, prefabricated reinforced concrete blocks can also be used."

"Director Zhao, just do as you want. You can go to the commune tomorrow and ask the leader to call on other villages to come to our village to send volunteer workers. In addition, let the commune approve some cement mortar... This is done, and all members of the village will write a thank-you letter to you!" Wang Mandun said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Director Zhao, it's really a success. Our second team will set up a memorial archway for you!" Wang Lianshun hurriedly answered.

"Director Zhao, I like such a brave man like you!"

Wang Yanqiang also praised repeatedly.

Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang looked at each other and forced a smile.

If Director Zhao can really do such a thing, they have no objection.

Not to mention adding hundreds of acres, it is definitely a good thing to add dozens of acres of silt land to the Jar Village.

I'm afraid Wang Lianshun and others have the same idea of assigning members to volunteer work abroad, but they certainly don't want to.

However, other village members are very willing to do volunteer work for Guanzi Village.

"I'll try," Zhao Jianhai replied with some modesty, because he didn't have the same momentum as before.

He came to Guanzi Village to work as a cadre in the village. He always wanted to make some achievements as soon as possible and was transferred back to the commune as soon as possible, so he put forward various bright ideas.

In the opinion of Director Zhao, he only provided ideas, and the specific operation should be completed by the village.

Now let him go to the commune to run the process... It may not be so easy to dispatch 20000 migrant workers or cement mortar reinforcement.

Especially cement mortar and reinforcement, which need indicators. Moreover, even if we get the indicators, Guanzi Village has no money to buy them, so we can't let the commune pay for them.

But looking at the expectant eyes, he could not refuse. After all, I said what I said, so I had to promise to come down first.

Xie Shouzheng had to continue his explanation, but now he can only pause. After all, he was only invited by others to do technical guidance, and it was the people of Canzi Village who really made the decision.

You can finish the work that you should say and do with your conscience, and you won't demand the result any more.

After Wang Mandun said a few words, the small meeting ended hastily.

When sending Xie Shouzheng away, Wang Lianshun took the initiative to comfort him: "Thank you for your work, good things will take more time, and you need to wait a few more days..."

The meaning of the words was obvious, and he did not think highly of Director Zhao going to the commune to find support.

"I know, I know," Xie Shouzheng could only nod.
