In a blink of an eye, it was July 7, but this time, neither the officials nor the common people were in the mood to celebrate the festival. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause since a month ago, there has not been a drop of rain in the Great Qi Kingdom, you must know that this time is the time to plant seedlings, and the fields are already full of seedlings, it is the time when a rain is needed to moisten the seeds, I didn't expect it to be like this.

"Your Majesty, although there is no shortage of food now, and the people can live on the grain harvested last year, but summer is the most important season for the people to plant rice and fertilize, if it continues to rain, the people will not have any harvest this year, and there will be famine at that time." Scholar Jiang explained the situation.

"National teacher, what is the weather monitored by Qintian? When will this rain fall, and how long will this hot weather last? Qi Hongyi asked the national teacher. Although it has only been a month since the rain stopped, if it continues, not to mention the rice fields, there will definitely be problems in life.

Because of the hot weather, the whole person will sweat when he moves a little, and this is still the case for people born into large families, not to mention farmers who are constantly working in the fields. Moreover, farmers generally dig their own wells, and if there is no well at home, then there must be a river not far away, and the water in it will be used for their daily drinking, as well as washing. Whether it is the water in the well or the water in the river, it is not that it will not be exhausted, but it depends on the amount of rain that will rain at least once in three or four days to maintain the water inside.

"Back to the emperor, according to Qin Tianjian's calculations, the rain will not fall so quickly this time, and this time the sunny day will last for at least another month, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, there will be absolutely no rain, and a major drought may occur!" The national teacher also replied truthfully. Because their role is to test what the weather will be like when they encounter these continuous heavy rains, or continuous sunny days.

"Really? According to you, then the current hot weather will not pass so easily, at least the remaining two months of this summer, it will not be too easy! Although Qi Hongyi was already mentally prepared, after listening to the national teacher's definite words, he still felt uncomfortable.

"In that case, I will issue a decree to the officials everywhere to warn the people that they must save water, and that they must no longer drink or wash as they pleased. Especially in the village, let the people water the fields first, don't waste too much, for the time being, let it be like this, the tide is low! After Qi Hongyi finished speaking, he stood up and left, because he had to think about a solution!

"Lan Qing, where is the emperor now?" Mackerel woke up from a nap and didn't see Qi Hongyi, so he asked Lan Qing after washing. Because she knew that Qi Hongyi had been very busy these days, every time it was at night, she had been asleep for a while, and he came to sleep full of exhaustion, and then waited until the morning hour came the next day, and got up early!

"Back to Lord Ji, the emperor is now in the imperial study, because according to what the national teacher said, such a sunny day may last for another month, so the emperor and the national teacher are discussing feasible methods in the imperial study again." Lan Qing also told the truth. Because everyone is concerned about the emperor's movements, and their people also had the opportunity to serve the emperor close at the beginning of this year.

"Really? Then you go and see if the three children are awake, and if they do, play with them, and I will be alone now, and you don't need to come in and serve until dinner! Mackerel Qingwu got the expected answer, and just ordered Lan Qingdao. After Lan Qing went out, Ma Qingwu began to listen to the conversation between the national teacher and Qi Hongyi.

"Your Majesty, such a continuous sunny day is not a very good thing even in winter, not to mention the summer when the temperature is above 35 degrees every day, this year's harvest of the people, because of the drought for two consecutive months, will definitely have an impact." The national teacher explained the situation to Qi Hongyi again.

"I know that I have called you not to repeat what you have already said in court, but to know what kind of solution you have. For although there is no famine yet, I must take precautions, otherwise it will be too late for the people to begin to suffer. Qi Hongyi said with a frown.

"Your Majesty, there is no way for the ministers. Because for us, there are three things that are uncontrollable, life and death, time, and weather. To know when it will rain, when it will be sunny, when it will snow, etc., it is all up to God, and we can't control it. The national teacher also said helplessly. Because they can only measure the recent weather, but it is impossible to change the next weather, and now they do not have such ability.

"Okay, I know, this is embarrassing for you, you can go!" Qi Hongyi sat down and waved his hand at the national teacher, signaling that he could leave. Because as long as there is continuous rainfall, continuous snowfall and continuous sunny days, disasters are generally very easy to occur, and once they do, it is the common people who suffer.

"Your Majesty, Hui Guiji asks to see you!" I don't know how long it took for Qi Hongyi to hear Li Shunlai's announcement. He was stunned for a moment, and then ordered Mackerel to come in, because he knew that Mackerel would never take the initiative to come to the imperial study, and now he came over, is it because of something?

"I asked people to go to the [Imperial Dining Room] and asked, but you didn't have much food at noon, so you gave it to the people around you to eat, and most of the meals were brought back. You, even if you really have something to do, and this matter is very important, but you can't treat your stomach badly because of this! I made you a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, even if you don't have an appetite, you must eat it all for me! Mackerel opened the box and said as she took out the contents.

"Okay, since you took the initiative to bring it over, and you made it yourself, then of course I have to finish it. And even though I just ran out of appetite, after you came, of course I felt delicious about what I ate! Qi Hongyi took the chopsticks handed over by Mackerel Qingwu, looked at the preserved egg and lean porridge in front of him and said, and began to eat with the two side dishes she took out.

"Well, are you done eating? Seeing that you have eaten this bowl of porridge one bite after another, it means that your stomach is not hungry, but you don't want to eat because you have something on your mind. It's okay to have one or two meals, but if you're always like this, your stomach will have problems, and then the uncomfortable person is you, and I won't care about you! Mackerel said as she put away the empty dishes.

"Okay, well, Qingwu, I promise you, you will eat well in the future, whether you have an appetite or not, you will not starve yourself. So light dance, since you know that I didn't have lunch, you made porridge and brought it to me, and now that I've finished eating, you can go back. Although I don't mind you being here with me, you also know that there are so many pairs of eyes in the palace, and this imperial study is not a place where concubines can come, so you can't stay for long! Qi Hongyi listened to the mackerel dance finish speaking, and then spoke.

"I'm here to accompany you, and for the absence of rain, it's been sunny for a month, and I'm also thinking about what can be done, although I know it's not so easy to come up with, but I also want to help you who are troubled!" Mackerel whispered as she walked over to the other desk and took a stand, and began to sharpen the ink, apparently planning to write something.

"Okay, since you want to accompany me here, then you can do whatever you want, because I don't only have troubles about the drought that may come, and there are also many folds that need my approval, so even if you don't come, then at most half an hour later, Li Shunlai will come in with snacks to remind me." Qi Hongyi watched the mackerel dance for a while, and made sure that she really made up her mind not to leave, so he picked up the song and said this.

Mackerel heard him and didn't speak, just continued to grind the ink. Because the reason why she came here was not just to send a lunch to Qi Hongyi, there were other things to do, which she had thought about for a long time in the system, but still decided to do, because this matter could help Qi Hongyi and help the Great Qi Kingdom get through this difficulty!

"Light dance, light dance, it's time to eat, light dance, it's night, what are you doing? was so attentive that he didn't notice the passage of time, and Li Shunlai had already passed over for dinner. I don't know how long it took, how many drawings Mackerel Qingwu had drawn, and when she was closing her eyes to recuperate, Qi Hongyi came over to call her, and after coming back to her senses, she felt the hunger in her stomach.

"Okay, then let's go back to [Bishui Pavilion] for lunch! Have you finished reviewing all the folds? If you haven't already, you can also take it to [Bishui Pavilion] together, I also have something to say to you. Mackerel Qingwu stood up and said while pulling Qi Hongyi towards the door.

"Okay, then let's go back to [Bishui Pavilion], there are only about twenty books left that haven't been reviewed yet, and after dinner, play with the three children, and then come to review, it won't take long." Qi Hongyi also said in a good way. And he could see from the strength of the mackerel dancing and the fast-moving footsteps that she had important things to say to herself, not just to stick to herself, she was never a person who couldn't tell the difference!

"Daddy, daddy, why didn't you come? I miss you so much, I miss you so much! After dinner, Mackerel Qingwu naturally asked the nurse to bring the three children over, but as soon as Nianyi saw Qi Hongyi, she threw herself on him. But that's right, because for the past ten days, Qi Hongyi came to [Bishui Pavilion] after they fell asleep, and then left after a hurried breakfast in the morning, of course they would miss it.

"Okay, it's my dad who is not good, I haven't been with my good daughter well these days, so today, isn't my dad here? Now let my father feed Nianyi, and then accompany Nianyi to play 'flying chess' to make amends, okay? Qi Hongyi also knew how to coax the child, and understood that his daughter was dependent on him and missed him at this time.

"Okay, let's let Dad accompany us to have breakfast and eat more!" The person who spoke was Nianyu, although Qi Yirui did not speak, it can be seen from the action of his nodding that he also misses his father very much for not seeing his father in the past few days!

"Father, mother, good night! Dad, we'll have breakfast together tomorrow, you've promised us! Before being carried back to the room by the nurse to sleep, Qi Nianyi looked at Qi Hongyi again and confirmed. Seeing that he nodded affirmatively under his gaze, he went back to his room with confidence.

"Okay, Qingwu, now a few small ones have gone back to the room, and it's okay to review my folds and so on, if you have anything, you can also say it directly!" Qi Hongyi sat beside the mackerel and said bluntly.

"Hongyi, this is what I drew in the afternoon, you can come and see it, and after you see it, come and tell me what you think!" Sabe Qingwu handed the drawn pattern to Qi Hongyi, although she drew dozens of them in the afternoon, but what she could really use was only these more than a dozen, and it was only after she selected that she was sure that Qi Hongyi could understand it.

"Qingwu, can you really make this plane you drew on paper? And according to the role you described next to it, it can even carry people to heaven, right? If it's really so magical, then after it is made, it will definitely be able to make the carrying vehicle of the Great Qi Kingdom to a higher level, but I think even if this is the case, not everyone can accept it. Qi Hongyi only looked at the first one, and after the whole picture of the plane drawn by the mackerel light dance, he asked.

"Hongyi, don't talk yet, now after you have read all the contents on the other papers, come and tell me what you think." Mako Qingwu didn't answer him, but pointed to the rest of the paper. Qi Hongyi heard her say this, although he didn't know why, but he also sorted out his excitement and read the remaining more than ten pieces of paper one by one.

"Hongyi, now I'm going to tell you why I drew these artworks. Because I know that you are now worried about the continuous sunny days for a month, and I also know that the national teacher said that such a sunny day may last for another month, and when the crops are not irrigated by rain, they will definitely cry to death, so I thought of a method of 'artificial rainfall', and as for the plane, it is because of this to carry people to heaven and need to do it! ”

Mackerel Qingwu saw that he had finished reading it, and his eyes fell on himself, and he said calmly but clearly. She also knew that after she said this, Qi Hongyi would be surprised, incredulous, and even feel that she was whimsical. But now that she's decided to help him out of his troubles, she won't be surprised no matter how he behaves!

"Qingwu, are you sure you're not wrong? Or did I hear it wrong, you just said 'artificial rain', right? At noon, when I was in the imperial study, the national teacher told me that it is impossible for people to control the weather in nature, so whether it is a big drought or a heavy rain, although we can predict it, we can't change it, this is human helplessness, isn't it? Now you say 'artificial rain', how can you do that? ”

Qi Hongyi was really surprised to speak, although he had never doubted Mackerel Qingwu, he had always believed in her very much, and he was very clear about her life, but at this time, he also felt very unbelievable about what she said!

"Hongyi, since I have already said so, it is definitely not a mouthful. And as I said, this plane is just a tool used to carry people to the sky, and to really achieve 'artificial rainfall', another thing is needed. But it takes a lot of time to make an airplane, not to mention that it still has to go directly to the clouds, so that another thing can be used to combine with the clouds, so that the water condensed in the clouds falls. Mackerel said bluntly.

"Something else, what's that? Qingwu, why do you know this, I think whether it is an airplane or something like what you say, it should not be what we can know now, but you do know, are you in the same era as me? Qi Hongyi had safely calmed down his mood at this time, but instead asked about the origin of the mackerel light dance, his tone was full of heartache and disbelief, as well as a little uncertainty.

"Yes, you're right, I'm not from this era, I'm from hundreds of years later. At that time, airplanes were very common things, and they were already, 'artificial rain' could be done after the consumption of manpower, power, and financial resources! But Hongyi, no matter what era I come from, now I am your wife, and I will only draw the pattern of the plane to help you solve the problem, so do you believe me? Mackerel Qingwu admitted her origin very honestly, but she still did not forget her feelings for Qi Hongyi.

"Really? So that's it! So light dance, as you said, even though you are not from this plane, you are still my wife, and now I have to know one thing, that is, will you still leave? Will you suddenly leave my side one day? Qi Hongyi grabbed the shoulder of the mackerel and asked a little scared.

"Hongyi, don't worry, I won't leave your side, except death, no force can separate us! And Hongyi, I have been in the Great Qi Country for more than 20 years, I have a younger brother here, a husband like you, and three children, Nianyi, Nianyu and Brother Rui, you are all my will, so I will never leave. Mackerel whispered with her hands around his waist and leaned against his chest with full leaning.

"You, how lucky I am to be able to marry a woman from another time and space, no wonder you always have a lot of ideas, always have so many whimsical ideas, it turns out that because you have more knowledge than ordinary girls, and more extensive than ordinary girls, I am really so lucky!" Qi Hongyi said with a smile, and here he also hugged the mackerel lightly to express his happiness and joy at this time.

"Okay, Hongyi, you've already seen this drawing, do you already know how to do it? Don't look at it as just an airplane, but since it is to carry people to the sky, it must ensure its safety, so any part is indispensable, and the final assembly is especially important! Now I'm hoping that you can find a group of talented people who can make these parts, and then finally assemble the plane and let me demonstrate, and the unforgettable people will watch it, and then help assemble another plane. After the warmth, the mackerel danced back to the previous topic.

"Okay, Light Dance, since this is what you came up with, then of course I will tell someone to do it. And for now, neither I nor the ministers have come up with a solution, which is clearly the best solution. Skilled craftsmen are generally more common among the people, so tomorrow I will issue a decree that blacksmiths, carpenters, and those who have the ability to remember and those who are skillful will come, and they will give them all if they want official positions, money, or fame, as long as they are not excessive! Qi Hongyi also followed her back to the previous topic.

"Good! And you have to find a suitable place, both private and safe, so that everyone can do these things. In addition, good iron is needed, because although some parts of the plane can be replaced with wood, some things must be made of iron, and I want to recruit a blacksmith to bring all the iron with me! Mackerel said as she took out a few of the pieces of paper and looked at the parts on them.

"Okay, these are tomorrow's things, and now that we've thought of a solution to make it easier for me tonight, let's do what needs to be done! I've been worried about it for the past few days, but I haven't been intimate with you, so let's make up for the lack of intimacy tonight! Qi Hongyi said, he kissed the mouth of the mackerel light dance, and threw her down, the bed tent fell, and then it was naturally the beautiful spring, and the mandarin ducks crossed their necks!

[The emperor ordered: To make this manned vehicle called an airplane, ask a blacksmith or carpenter with excellent craftsmanship to go to the prefecture or magistrate of the county to register, if you can understand the things drawn on this map, and are ingenious, or have the ability to remember, you can also sign up. The production time of the aircraft is more than a month, and if it is successful, the emperor will definitely have a generous reward at that time. 】

The next day, Qi Hongyi issued a holy decree, and sent guards to the county towns and towns with an expedited 500 li or 800 li expedited, so that the local governments could do things according to the order. Because although Kyoto is the largest place in the Great Qi Country, it does not mean that all talented people have gathered in Kyoto, and sometimes the small place is the place where skilled craftsmen can appear, and it depends on how many people can be found!

"Queen Mother, that's it, this is the way Qingwu came up with! I know you'll find it incredible, but I believe that the plane can be made, and even if it doesn't, it's the best way to do it, so no matter how long it takes to make it, I'm sure to give it a try! Qi Hongyi and the Queen Mother concluded this way after describing the reasons why he issued the holy decree.

"Well, since you have decided to do this, then the mourning family will not say much, after all, in this national affairs, the mourning family can give you some advice, but for how to do it, it all depends on you. And since you said that Qingwu came up with this idea, and only she knows how to make this plane, then I hope it will really succeed when the time comes! After listening to Qi Hongyi's narration, the Queen Mother said this.

"Queen Mother, I know! Because of the continuous sunny days for more than a month, the people in the palace are uncomfortable, and the water in each palace has been reduced, whether it is washing or drinking, it is a regular rule every day. It is precisely because of this that no one comes to visit the Imperial Garden now, and everyone is more willing to stay in their palace, at least to be cooler.

It's still like this in the palace, not to mention that it's still an ordinary family, especially the peasants who watch God eat, I think it must be even harder! So if this 'artificial rainfall' can really succeed, so that the crops can drink enough water and grow normally, there will be no famine! Qi Hongyi said heartily.

"Okay, okay, it's okay to say anything, the mourning family is going to take a nap, you can leave! You haven't been to see the queen in days, so it's better to go see her today, she's suffering from heat stroke and is resting now! The Queen Mother waved her hand and said. And she knew in her heart that if this 'artificial rainfall' really succeeded and solved the problems of the people, then the mackerel light dance would definitely be promoted at that time, and this promotion would definitely not be low.

"The emperor has arrived!" The queen was drinking water, and she heard such a report from outside, so she quickly asked Hongguo to help herself sit down, and then put on her shoes, and before she stepped off the pedal, Qi Hongyi had already walked in, so she had to salute him and said: "The concubine has seen the emperor!" ”

"Okay, Queen, don't get up if you're not feeling well, just lie down. Why is it so hot in this [Kunning Palace]? Is it because you've reduced the ice? No wonder you will suffer from heat stroke, in fact, there is no need for this, as long as you pay attention to yourself, even if you want to save water now, it is also in the case that the people in the palace have no effect on their bodies. Otherwise, if a person suffers from heat stroke or fever in order to save a little water, it will be more than worth the loss. Qi Hongyi sat on the edge of the bed, helped the queen, and asked her to lie down again, and then said.

"Yes, the concubine knows about it, and she will pay attention. However, the concubines also saw that the emperor was so troubled during this time, so she was thinking about doing something to reduce the emperor's troubles a little, and the only thing she thought of was to reduce the use of each palace, but she didn't expect to suffer from heat stroke because she did too much. The queen smiled embarrassedly and said very shyly.

"Well, don't be too reluctant in the future, because I've already thought of a solution. Okay, Queen, you can have a good rest, if you are really uncomfortable, you can ask the imperial doctor, I am gone! Qi Hongyi stood up as he said and left the [Kunning Palace], because he had to ask the secret guard, how is the progress of recruiting skilled craftsmen in various places, because he only gave ten days, and now six days have passed, and Scholar Jiang is the person in charge of this matter on the surface, and if he wants to come to the town closer to Kyoto, there should be progress!

"Your Majesty, there are now thirteen blacksmiths and nineteen carpenters who have signed up, because the emperor said that everyone will be here, and the time will be unified for interviews, so now they are arranged to live in the [Four Seas Inn] under the package, this is their list, their names, ages and where they came from, please take a look at the emperor!" Scholar Jiang handed over the fold and said.

"Okay, I've worked hard for Aiqing, I'll take a good look at it, because only six days have passed, and there are still four days left, I hope Aiqing will continue to bother, and when I finally recruit a skilled craftsman, I will definitely remember Aiqing's credit!" Qi Hongyi said gently.

"Emperor Xie Longen, Weichen is ashamed! Wechen retires! Scholar Jiang left the imperial study as he spoke, obviously continuing to bother, because he had to do something, and it was ordered by the emperor, but he didn't just rely on words to forget it, but he had to do it in a down-to-earth manner.
