First of all, we must be cleared whether it is your own.

Liu Xiaopang's ancestors served as officials in prefectures and counties for generations. His grandfather Liu Xiong was appointed as the magistrate of Fan County, Dongjun, and his father Liu Hong also praised him as a filial and honest person. If he did not die early, he would be an official. There is no shortage of Han laws in his family.

After looking through it, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In general, the Han Dynasty encouraged farmers to open up land and build land.

"The land has its own benefits, and the people have spare energy. The soil that grows into the grain has not been fully reclaimed, the benefits of mountains and lakes have not been fully reclaimed, and the people who are wandering and returning to farming." Save all their uses, levy taxes, and reward the people to open up land and farm, accumulate grain to relieve difficulties. The households are exempted from three years of rent and tax. The land that is reclaimed is full of ditches and scattered, and is square and orderly.

Such things are almost the consensus of the entire era.

In other words, the reclaimed wasteland is not only considered by oneself, but also exempts from three years of taxes.

Of course, there are precedents of accidentally opening up the land with a master for a second time, which will lead to death.

In addition, we need to see whether these so-called wastelands are "public fields". Public fields are also called "official fields", referring to feudal state-owned land. Public fields in the Han Dynasty included many types: "gardens, gardens, ponds, rivers, seas, lakes, untie "grass fields", whether there are owners of "badlands", land confiscated by the imperial court, etc.

So, be careful whether it is a land without a border.

Lousang Village is a relative of the Liu clan. The old clan leader has good governance and the neighbors are harmonious, so he will definitely not make mistakes. After reading the sketch of the fields, Liu Xiaopang found that the plots that can be basically made into fertile fields have a main land. The wilderness in the corners is not only far away from the villages and has inconvenient access. It is also close to the wild mountains and ridges, which is very dangerous.

Before the New Year, I often caught insects and released horses with my friends, and I was very familiar with Zhuangzi. After thinking about it, I really couldn’t find arable field.

"How?" Seeing Liu Xiaopang dipped in clear water and wrote and painted on the desk all day, her mother asked casually.

"There is no clue." The fat man said the truth: "The fertile fields in the village have owners. There is no land to be reckoned."

"The Liu clan moved here for generations. All the wastelands that can be opened have been opened. As you said, most of the remaining fields are untouchable." My mother was not surprised.

"Well..." Liu Xiaopang nodded slightly.

If you want to talk about how far the great man had opened up four hundred years later, you can tell by looking at the fields all over the mountains.

The fields that are opened on gentle slopes of hills are called "district fields". The Book of Sisheng says: "district fields are beautiful with manure and gas, and they are not necessary for fertile fields. All mountains, tombs, nearby towns and high-risk areas can be used as diversions." Hillsides, hills, mounds, slopes, and any slopes that can be opened have been dilated into diversions.

There are no high mountains around Lousang Village, only some low and gentle slopes. Because of the high trees and dense forests, it is called mountains and fields. Entering the mountains is actually entering the deep forest.

Generally speaking, there are several streams surrounding it, high in the west and low in the east.

"The stream surrounded..." Liu Xiaopang, who seemed to remember something, suddenly turned his eyes to a shallow stream in the south of the village - Qingxi.

The name of Xiaoxi is really ordinary. Liu Xiaopang believes that if there is no more than ten miles away, there will definitely be a water flow called Qingxi. Just like his mare called Dahuang. The name of Dahuang horse is really ordinary.

After the clear stream flows through Lousang Village, a piece of water called Baihu is injected into it.

Qingxi and Baihu, the name is so simple and clear.

The problem lies in the clear stream.

"What's the problem with Qingxi?" Not to mention his mother, even Gongsun, who took the time to come over, asked curiously.

"There is no problem with Qingxi." Combined with memory, Liu Xiaopang gradually gained fame: "Sister Gongsun, accompany me to Qingxi tomorrow."

"Okay." Gongsun was also very curious about the Qiliner passed down by word of mouth by word of Liu clan.

Zhuo County has a lot of water and water.

The Dalu Ze, one of the nine zodiacs in the world, is not far away from Julu Kingdom.

Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian" records: Dayu guided the river, crossed the water north to the mainland, and as for the mainland. The river is the Yellow River, and the mainland is the mainland. The "Shan Hai Jing" calls the mainland lake Tailu River. "Er Ya·Shidi": There is a mainland in Jin, which also refers to this lake.

The next day, early morning.

Liu Bei and Gongsun walked along the country road. Fortunately, they were close to the river beach and the grass was not lush. There was no need to break through the thorns and cross a field on a ridge and reach the slope where Liu Bei once set off his horse.

"Sister, come and see." Following Liu Bei's finger, Gongsun discovered the difference.

The water upstream is wide, while the water downstream is narrow.

The water upstream is slow, but the water downstream is fast.

The water is full of upstream, while the water is shallow downstream.

The little fat man hit the nail on the head: "The lake is blocked."

Due to volcanoes, earthquakes, or even heavy rain, landslides, mudslides, blocking the riverbed, the water gathers and overflows around. When the water is stored to a certain extent, it becomes a landslide lake.

The reason why the water is full in the upper reaches of Qingxi is that after the landslide, the water storage gathers and floods the river valley.

"Si Valley?" Gongsun had already thought of it.

"The valley." Liu Bei waved his hand along the winding clear stream.

Gongsun’s more and more joyful look at it. As Liu Bei said, if the shallow water at the river beside down, a gentle slope could extend to the center of the river! The Qing River, which has been deep into the dense forest, may flow through the slope, or a hundred acres!

When the water level drops, the valley will naturally be revealed!

Before the Liu clan settled in Lousang Village, the Qing River was blocked by mud and stone. The upstream was silted and there was no cofferdam and flowed downstream again. Although the water in the downstream was shallow, the gravel on both sides was covered with weeds and could not be cultivated. It must have been a river channel in the beginning! However, after the dam was blocked, the water flow was sparse, and the river channel gradually dried up and exposed. It took a long time to lose its wasteland, so it was used by the tribe to graz.

The forest is a wild forest. The stream is a wild stream.

This rocky slope is not cultivated.

If the dam can be removed and the water surface of the upstream falls, this flooded valley will surely see the light of day again! The most important thing is that the river channel downstream is dry, and there is no one to open up the land because of gravel everywhere. It doesn’t matter if it floods!

The problem is here.

How to break the dam?

Gunpowder was the first thing Liu Xiaopang thought of.

However, let alone the formula of gunpowder, it is often difficult to find these materials that are considered to be ghosts and gods. Otherwise, people in the sect would not be scared to the bear when they see sulfuric acid melting mice into bones.

Moreover, how to bury gunpowder into the bottom of the water and detonate normally is also a big problem.

Anyway, after thinking about it, this easiest method is the most unfeasible.

Looking at the thick cofferdam gradually disappeared from the shore from the water, Liu Bei felt thoughtful.

Logically speaking, the dam will not exist forever and will collapse after a long time. Once the dam is broken, the lake water will pour down and form a flood, endangering the downstream.

However, there must be a reason why this cofferdam in Qingxi does not collapse over time.

When he returned the same road, Liu Bei suddenly had a plan: "Mother, where are the craftsmen who repaired their ancestral home a few days ago?"

The craftsmen were found by Uncle San. Most of them lived in nearby villages, and some were made in county towns and could be called at any time.

Workers don't rush.

The old saying goes, plan and move.

Do what you should do first.

After falling asleep, Liu Bei went to the clan leader's house early in the morning. Follow the map and drew a circle on the front and back of the "Qingxikou" marked on the cowhide map.

The old patriarch should not be too familiar with this landscape: "Hong Family, do you want to circle here?"
