"One year, only one year, Fuquan, we don't have much time, I have only one requirement for you, then, is to do everything in our power to concentrate all our energy on the Yellow River Basin, and devote ourselves to the waterway management of the upper reaches of the Yellow River."

"As long as you can repair the upper reaches of the Yellow River for thousands of miles, and ensure that tens of thousands of fertile fields can return to normal farming, then your errand will be completed!" Wu Yue stared straight at Fuquan with his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Fuquan nodded heavily, stood up, and bowed deeply towards Wu Yue.

"Even if the slave fights for his life, he will complete the errand given by the master." Fu Quan said with a serious face.

Wu Yue smiled and nodded. raised his hand and helped Fu Quan up.

"Tell me what are the difficulties that affect your speed of repairing the embankment at the moment. I have a lot of great ideas in my head, and I might be able to help you. Wu Yue smiled gently and said.

Fuquan pondered for a moment, then clenched his fists and said, "In terms of manpower, judging from the current situation, it is not a big problem. As long as the food supply is sufficient, it is only a matter of time before they are all relegated to the upper reaches of the Yellow River. ”

"The difficulty now is that you have decreed that you will repair the river embankment with rocks. First of all, the mining of mountain rocks is a serious problem, manual mining, time-consuming and laborious, and the amount is not enough. The second is the transportation of rocks. This is also a big problem. ”

"Mountains that are easy to mine rocks, too far from the river. In the mountains near the river, the stones are too hard to be mined. ”

Fuquan let out a long sigh as he spoke.

Wu Yue smiled mysteriously, "Regarding the problem of mountain and stone mining, I have already thought of a solution. ”

When Fuquan heard this, his eyes instantly widened.

"My Firearms Academy was originally an exclusive yamen for making special firearms. I have ordered them to give them a month to prepare the gunpowder. I have a secret method to make gunpowder that can be used to mine rocks. With these things, I can guarantee that you can mine rocks dozens of times faster! ”

Wu Yue said, stood up, came to the dragon case, lifted the jade seal, and took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the rosewood that held the jade seal.

After that, Wu Yue handed the paper to Fuquan with both hands.

"That's how the explosives are configured. Once the gunpowder arrives in the mining mountains, you give it to the demolitionist who passes with you, and he will craft it in a short time. It is then buried into the mountains. ”

"When the time comes, as long as you successfully blast the rocks, hehe! The mountains and rocks are inexhaustible! ”

"Even if the river encounters a mountain range, a new channel can be blasted to prevent the Yellow River from flooding the cultivated fields!" Wu Yue said confidently.

Fu Quan raised his hand tremblingly, took the paper handed over by Wu Yue, and then carefully put it into his pocket.

"Master, there is such a good thing, why didn't you tell the slave earlier? The minions of the harm didn't get a good night's sleep for a full month! Fuquan's face turned red, and he glanced at Wu Yue with some disgust.

Wu Yue didn't blame him in the slightest, and responded with a smile, "I should have started preparing half a month ago. On the side of the offline fire machine yard, at least 1,000 catties of gunpowder are almost configured. If it's configured as explosives, it's enough to last you three months. After all, transporting these rocks is a heavy and busy process. ”

Fuquan nodded. Frowning and pondering for a moment, he raised his head with a strange smile, looked at Wu Yue, bowed down and said, "The master is naturally intelligent, and he must have thought of the method of transportation, right?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Yue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Second brother, you are older than me, and you have more knowledge than me!" ”

At this moment, Fu Quan saw that Wu Yue was in a good mood, so his mood relaxed a lot, and he responded with a smile, "The slave is talented and stupid, with the emperor's younger brother like you, who has no one before or after him, the slave can sit back and relax, and do the errand according to your will with peace of mind." There's no need to think hard, and the slave knows that the final result is still not to understand anything. ”

Wu Yue shook his head helplessly.

"Regarding transportation, I also thought about it for several days, and I couldn't think of a specific innovative method for a while. Therefore, at the moment, it can only be pulled by horse-drawn carriages. ”

"However, the method of transportation can be more lively, and if there is a river, it can be pulled by boat. If it is blocked by a mountain peak and increases the difficulty of transportation, then directly blow up the mountain with explosives. In this way, you can also increase the amount of quarrying rocks! ”

Fuquan nodded, "It's just that the amount of explosives has increased." Master, the allocation of gunpowder needs to be strengthened. ”

Wu Yue responded with a smile, "Don't worry." There is no need to worry too much about this. ”

At this time, Wu Yue's heart slammed, and a bright light flashed in his mind! In an instant, Wu Yue fell into deep thought.

Fuquan, who was standing next to him, was about to ask a question, but Li Dong, who was guarding the palace gate, rushed in at a very fast speed to stop him.

Li Dong waved his hand towards Fuquan, led him to the palace gate, and said in a low voice, "The master must have thought of something, Lord Wang, don't disturb it first." After the master understands it, he will come to his senses. ”

Fuquan nodded, and Li Dong ordered the palace people around him to bring him a chair and sat down with peace of mind.

Wu Yue, who was deep in thought, slowly came to the window with the handrail, and looked straight out of the window with his eyes. About half an hour later, Wu Yue turned his head abruptly and strode to the map of the river, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at it deadly.

Time always passes by inadvertently.

When Wu Yue came to his senses again, it was already dusk, and Fuquan, who had been guarding the palace gate, had been arranged by Su Malagu to go to the palace next to him for dinner. Only Li Dong was left, still standing there with his body straight.

"Where's the prince?" Wu Yue, who came to his senses, looked around and didn't find Fuquan, so he looked sideways at Sandezi, who didn't know when he would return.

Sandezi responded with a smile, "Master, the prince has been traveling day and night, and he hasn't eaten for a day. Just now, the imperial aunt was worried that his body would not be able to bear it, so she dragged him to the side hall to eat. ”

Wu Yue nodded and walked out of the upper study.

"I'm hungry too. Let's go, let's go to the side hall, there happens to be an extremely important matter, and we want to discuss it with Prince Gong. The corners of Wu Yue's mouth couldn't help but hang up with an "evil" smirk!

"Lord Pingxi, I think about you all the time. On the occasion of repairing the river, I thought that I would prepare a grand feast for you! Hehe, how will you thank me when the time comes? Wu Yue said with a sneer in his heart.
