I Am a Chief in a Primitive Tribe

Chapter 1378: Excavation of the Grand Canal

Big Jiang has a boat!

After the first ship is built, the next ship will be built soon.

And the size of the boat was adjusted accordingly to a "small boat" more suitable for navigating on the East River.

The boat is about ten meters long and two to three meters wide. It only takes three or five people to step on the rotating oars under the boat to travel against the current.

Of course, these ships are also equipped with soft sails, and sail faster when the wind is down.

The navigation of the East River excited the whole Dajiang people inexplicably.

Downstream from the East River, you can reach the vicinity of Dragon City smoothly.

In this way, the iron and iron ore of Dragon City can be transported back to Dragon City and various cities along the way smoothly.

Compared with the carriage on land, the speed of the ship is undoubtedly a lot slower, but the volume of transportation is even greater!

As soon as the East River Route opened, the happiest one was Chi Lei, who was responsible for guarding the Dragon City.

Because the biggest problem in Dragon City is transporting iron!

After learning that a boat could arrive at Dragon City from the East River outside Dragon City, Chi Lei wrote to Dragon City as soon as possible, stating how Dragon City needs to be transported by water, and Dragon City must cooperate!

The second river port of Dajiang was built in Dragon City in the shortest time.

Chi Lei almost used all the power that could be used in the Dragon City.

Because the problem of transporting iron was solved, even if he was "liberated" as the city lord, he could concentrate on doing other things.

The news naturally reached Mu Feng's ears.

He was very pleased with Chi Lei's reaction.

Because the cognition of the people obviously improved with the progress of Da Jiang.

Some people have begun to realize the importance of water transportation.

So he hit the iron while it was hot, and held a meeting on the river port near Baishuyuan.

Yu Li, Ju Li, Ke Wuji, Li Hu, Jiu Zhu and others attended the meeting.

Among them, Nine Bamboo was called back from the sea overnight.

Yu Li, Li Li, and Li Hu just returned from a boat trip.

Everyone knew what the warchief wanted to say. They watched the boats and boats in the harbor and listened.

Mu Feng said: "You have all seen recently, Dajiang has a new means of transportation.

This tool is different from the existing carriages and mounts of our tribe.

It travels in water, it can not sink in deep water, although the speed is not very fast, but it can carry heavy people or things!

In this way, things can be transported along the riverbank.

For example, transporting iron from Dragon City to Dragon City.

Although a single trip is very slow, it takes ten to twenty days.

But after careful calculation, transporting the same weight of iron will either consume a lot of manpower and material resources at the same time, or it will take more time!

So next, you need to add two river ports along the Donghe River, one in Wukesong and one in Longbei City.

The grain harvest from these two places is very good in Chengdu, and it can be transported here by big ships, and then the grain will be transported to Longcheng. "

Lihu asked a question: "Warchief, I have tried the ship, and there are a lot of things to transport.

But there is a problem. This kind of transportation needs to be done where there is water.

In this way, it seems that we can only transport things by water from Dragon City to Dragon City! "

Mu Feng smiled and shook his head, and looked at Jiu Zhu: "Jiu Zhu, tell him!"

Jiu Zhu smiled and nodded, then stood up and said, "Leaving the head of the tiger, I was not long ago choosing a location on the seaside of the Oriental Golden Crow City to build a port.

Farther east, there is a vast sea with no side to see.

My Dajiang territory is as far away as the sea, where more and bigger ships are needed.

The most important thing is the news from the Jinwu Department. They found an island across the sea, and there are many wild sheep on the island.

As for other things, these wild sheep alone are worthy of our shipbuilding! "

"Island?"

Lihu, Yuli and others were puzzled.

It was the first time they heard this statement.

Mu Feng smiled and explained to them.

A few people suddenly realized.

Mu Feng smiled and said: "There are wild sheep on the islands, and deep-sea fishing can also be carried out with the islands as a base. Marine fish and seafood can be obtained in large quantities.

In this way, we can feed more people! "

Several people's eyes brightened.

Lie Hu's brows a little bit: "But that's a farther place.

What to do in the existing territory of Dajiang?

What to do in places like Black Bear City, Wild Wolf City, Wangxi City, and even the burly city further away? "

Mu Feng nodded: "This is the purpose I asked you to come today.

You already know the usefulness of transportation on the river. Do you find it convenient or inconvenient? "

Lihu nodded: "Convenient!"

Several others also nodded.

Mu Feng smiled and said, "That's it, so next I plan to build the waterway while Dajiang builds the dirt road!"

"Building a waterway?"

"Yes!"

Mu Feng said: "There are several considerations for building a waterway:

One is that there are several existing rivers, such as Xiangshui River to Black Bear City, which can actually be connected by waterways.

The river in the north of Black Bear City can be dug directly to the north, and along the way, it can pass through Shandao City, Hobbit City, Goshawk City, and even transport to the northwest.

Similarly, going west in Wild Wolf City, passing through the old land of Yiluo and Shiratori, there are actually rivers not far away from these places.

It can be hooked up by digging ditches.

Second, you also know the harvest situation this summer. Except for a few old cities and the perfect harvest of water conservancy ditches, the harvest of the rest of the cities is very small.

The foreseeable harvest of spring corn is not very good, and now we can only look at the situation of yellow potatoes and autumn harvest.

It is inevitable that this situation will happen again in the future, and the fields in each city must have ditches to store water..."

Before Mu Feng finished speaking, someone immediately asked: "The ditches are easy to dig, but where does the water come from?"

Looking at Mu Feng, he was still Lihu.

There seem to be many problems with Lihu.

This may have something to do with being Da Jiang's "big housekeeper".

Mu Feng smiled and said, "That's what I want to say, digging ditches is connected with Xingshui Road, digging a canal!"

"Dig a canal?"

"good!"

Mu Feng smiled and said, "In addition to connecting several existing rivers, I also hope to divert the water from several large rivers in Dajiang Territory to other places. For example, the water from Donghe River can be introduced to Baishuyuan to solve the livestock problem. Or is it possible to pass through Baishuyuan, head west to Black Bear City, and then connect to the Lushui River to reach the area of ​​Goshawk City."

"this!"

Several people were shocked.

The chief dare to think about it!

In this way, if the river is wide enough and the water is deep enough, don't go ashore along the way. You can take a boat from the Dragon City and go north and west, and then northwest, which is equivalent to passing through the territory from the southeast to the northwest of Dajiang!

Such a thing can only be imagined by the warchief.

Of course, once this "canal" is built, the water supply problem of the cities along the way seems to be solved at once!

Most of the lecturers who benefited are a big **** city.

Wanting to understand this, several people responded: "Warchief, we dug such a canal!"
