Chapter 561: Taking Money Back to the Village

The official from Kaifeng Prefecture had never seen such a water canal; it was simply like having dug a new river channel.

Nonetheless, whatever the method, as long as it allowed the common people access to water, it was a good method.

The official from Kaifeng Prefecture went a bit further in, and indeed the river had slowed down considerably, and if one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to tell that the water was flowing at all.

Because the river flowed slowly, a large amount of the Yellow River's silt and soil had settled down to become the riverbed, making the water much clearer, and it grew clearer the further it went.

This was also why the slower river made it much more convenient for the villagers to fetch water.

And because of the nourishment from the river water, the nearby soil was no longer arid.

"No matter what method you used, the village has transformed in this way, and you have contributed greatly to this," said the official from Kaifeng Prefecture.
