I used space to carry a lot of supplies to escape famine in ancient times

On that quiet night, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the village square. Gu Qianning, dressed in plain clothes, stood quietly in the center of the square, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky. The moonlight illuminated her beautiful face, and her eyes showed satisfaction and emotion.

The breeze blew gently, ruffling her hair. Gu Qianning recalled the efforts she had made to promote the development of art in the village during this period of time. Those busy days seemed to be still in front of her. From the lack of understanding when she first proposed the idea to the strong artistic atmosphere everywhere in the village today, she knows the hardships and difficulties along the way.

At this moment, every corner of the village seems to be shrouded in the glory of art. Children in the streets and alleys use colorful brushes to depict the beautiful world in their hearts. Their laughter and the sound of brushes rubbing on the canvas interweave to form a beautiful movement; young students practice calligraphy seriously in the school, and every stroke of the pen is filled with their love and persistence for traditional culture; and in the newly built music hall, melodious music often comes out, sometimes exciting, sometimes soothing, like a clear stream in the mountains, flowing into the hearts of every villager.

Gu Qianning knows that the village's cultural and artistic undertakings can only achieve today's achievements with the support and dedication of every villager. It is they who have used their enthusiasm and sweat to water this land of art and make it bloom with gorgeous flowers.

However, while enjoying the joy brought by the development of art, Gu Qianning has not forgotten other practical problems facing the village. With the increase of the village population and the continuous reclamation of farmland, the problems of farmland irrigation and flood control have become increasingly prominent. In the dry season, the river water level drops, the farmland cannot be adequately irrigated, and the crop yield is greatly affected; and in the rainy season, the river often floods, destroying farmland and houses, causing huge economic losses to the villagers.

Gu Qianning knew that in order to fundamentally solve these problems, a large-scale water conservancy project must be built. So she found Chu Mohan and discussed the matter with him.

"Mo Han, I've thought about it for a long time. We must build a water conservancy project so that we can solve the problems of farmland irrigation and flood control and ensure the lives and production of the villagers." Gu Qianning's eyes revealed a firm determination.

Chu Mohan nodded, his eyes also full of worry: "Qian Ning, I have also considered your idea, but building a water conservancy project requires a lot of funds and technology, and the difficulties we are facing now are not small."

Gu Qianning pondered for a moment and said, "There are certainly difficulties, but we cannot back down because of them. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to find a solution."

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan first convened several experienced elders and craftsmen in the village to discuss the preliminary plan for the water conservancy project. After several days and nights of intense discussion, they finally worked out a rough plan: build a dam on the river near the village for water storage and flood control; at the same time, dig an irrigation channel to divert river water to the farmland.

After the plan was finalized, the next step was to solve the technical problems. Since the craftsmen in the village had never been involved in such a large-scale water conservancy project, they had only a vague understanding of many construction techniques. In order to solve this problem, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan ran around looking for relevant technical information and books. They also sent people to nearby towns to visit experienced water conservancy engineers and ask them for technical advice.

During one of their visits, they met an old engineer named Liu Tianming. When he was young, Liu Tianming had participated in the construction of many large-scale water conservancy projects and had rich experience and profound technical skills. He was moved by Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan's sincerity and determination and decided to help them.

After Liu Tianming arrived at the village, he conducted a detailed review and optimization of their plan. He made many valuable suggestions, such as adding some drainage holes in the design of the dam to adjust the water level; using arc design in the construction of irrigation channels to reduce water flow resistance, etc. Under Liu Tianming's guidance, technical problems were overcome one by one, and the engineering plan became more perfect.

After solving the technical problems, they faced the problem of capital shortage. The construction of water conservancy projects required a lot of money to purchase materials and pay workers' wages, and the village's financial situation could not afford such a huge expense.

In order to raise funds, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan decided to mobilize the villagers to participate. They held a mobilization meeting in the village and introduced the importance and significance of the water conservancy project and the current situation of fund shortage to the villagers in detail.

"Fellow villagers, building a water conservancy project is a key step in the development of our village. It will not only solve our farmland irrigation and flood control problems, but also create better living conditions for our future generations. However, now we are facing the difficulty of funding shortage. I hope that everyone can work together to contribute to this project." Gu Qianning said emotionally while standing on the stage.

After hearing what Gu Qianning said, the villagers expressed their support. Some of them took out their own savings, some donated food and supplies from their homes, and some took the initiative to sign up for the project construction and volunteer work.

At the same time, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan also went to the county town to seek help from the county magistrate. The county magistrate was very impressed with their water conservancy project plan and immediately decided to allocate some funds from the county treasury to support them. In addition, they also contacted some business friends and borrowed some funds from them.

After solving the technical and financial problems, the water conservancy project finally started smoothly. On the day of the start of construction, the village was filled with the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers. Villagers flocked to the construction site to cheer for the workers.

The construction site was a busy scene. Some craftsmen were carrying stones, some were mixing cement, and some were laying bricks to build the dam. Everyone was working enthusiastically. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were also busy. They were busy on the construction site every day, coordinating various issues to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

However, the construction process was not smooth sailing. During the construction of the dam, due to the complex geological conditions, there were many landslides during the construction process, which had a great impact on the progress of the project.

Faced with these difficulties, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan did not give up. They worked with Liu Tianming to study solutions and finally decided to adopt new construction methods and support technologies to successfully solve the landslide problem.

During the construction of the irrigation canal, they encountered the problem of insufficient water. In order to solve this problem, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan led the villagers to find new water sources along the river and built a water diversion canal to bring more river water into the irrigation canal.

After several months of hard work, the water conservancy project is finally nearing completion. When the last brick of the dam was laid and the irrigation channel was fully connected, the whole village was excited. The villagers cheered and jumped for joy, knowing that from now on, they no longer have to worry about farmland irrigation and flood control.

After the completion of the water conservancy project, the village welcomed its first harvest season. River water continuously flowed into the farmland through the irrigation channel, and the crops thrived under the nourishment of sufficient water, with full grains. When the harvest season came, the fields were golden, the wheat waves were rolling, and the faces of the villagers were filled with the joy of the harvest.

During the rainy season, the dam successfully played a role in flood control. The surging river water was firmly blocked by the dam, without causing any damage to farmland and houses. The village safely passed the rainy season under the protection of the water conservancy project.
