After a moment of pause, Yao Zhi continued, "As for the area near the mountain, I want to build bamboo water pipes so I can draw water directly from the mountain spring. If it's possible to draw the water directly, we can dig canals for irrigation."
After she finished speaking, both Yang Dalang and Yang Erlang were stunned.
"Sister Yao, drawing water from the mountain spring won't be easy. What's more, we don't know if we can store the water even if we manage to do it."
Yao Zhi thought for a moment and replied, "Then, we will build several ponds to store the water. At the same time, I can use the ponds to raise fish and lotus."
When they heard her words, Yang Dalang and Yang Erlang exchanged glances. While this method was possible, the cost was high.
"Sister Yao, you must think it through carefully. Although it's possible to improve the soil quality, it will take a long time to see the result."
