Zhao Qianhua didn't dare to stay longer, he wanted to go back and tell the emperor that the flood had been resolved.

After hurrying back to the palace, as soon as the matter was reported, the emperor's face was full of surprise.

"Has the flood really subsided?"

"This matter is true, but the minister saw it with his own eyes!"

Zhao Qianhua nodded and replied with great certainty.

The emperor was immediately happy, walked left and right, looked at the notes from all over the place, and threw them aside.

It's all settled, and there's nothing else to see.

"Then Lu Chensheng really dug a canal and diverted it directly to the outside of the plug?"

The emperor thought about it and asked about Lu Chensheng's water control.

"The minister did see that there was a big embankment under the mountain range, and the embankment was also extremely strong, so it was okay to think about it."

Zhao Qianhua responded, "In addition, Xinghan City seems to want to dig a canal to the Great Cangguo, which is probably also the condition of why Xinghan City asked the Great Cangguo not to seize the ships of the Xinghan City at will." ”

Zhao Qianhua also remembered at this time, when he asked Lu Chensheng to control the water before, Lu Chensheng specially put forward such a condition.

It wasn't clear before, but at this moment, he roughly understood why Lu Chensheng did this.

Looking at this situation, Lu Chensheng already had this idea.

When the emperor of the Great Cangguo heard this, he didn't care much.

"It doesn't matter, the canal was built by the other party, and the Great Cangguo didn't spend much effort, so it is also beneficial for us to have such a canal."

The emperor is not stupid, now there are more and more transactions with Xinghan City, and if there is a canal, the transaction will become closer and closer.

Xinghan City will also buy a lot of things from Dacangguo.

Some bits and pieces, constantly being bought by Xinghan City, are not harmful to the Great Cangguo.

He had read the statistics of the household department before, because of the transaction with Xinghancheng, the foreign trade increased a lot, and the treasury collected nearly 800,000 more silver last year.

If you can trade more, it is not impossible to suddenly have a million silver.

So he doesn't have any objection to the canal.

Zhao Qianhua also understood this truth, and when he heard it at this moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, if the canal is built, the fruits of the Great Cangguo Kingdom will be better transported to Xinghan City to sell, so that we can earn more." ”

It's summer, and it's time for all kinds of fruits to ripen.

With the waterway, it is more convenient to transport fruits.

Something like lychee is extremely inconvenient to keep, and it will be bad if you leave it for more days.

But with waterways, it can be kept fresh, and the fruit can be easily sold.

The emperor groaned for a moment when he heard this, and after glancing at the other party, he nodded.

Zhao Qianhua immediately understood and turned around.

.......

In the embankment, a little bit of water is stored, and from time to time you can see some fish that have been brought down by the water.

The guards who were guarding the embankment and promised that nothing would happen to them also picked up a lot of fish, some of which fell directly into the embankment.

The fish are all very large, and they look a little fat.

"Looks like there's nothing wrong with the dike."

Lu Chensheng also stood here, looked at it and spoke.

At this moment, the water inside is not full, and some of it has already flowed into the canal outside.

The water in the canal is also rising.

Lu Chensheng looked at this scene and seemed more relieved.

"Shopkeeper, the last section of the canal has been dug up."

A guard hurriedly came over and reported the situation to Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and the canal was finally built.

However, looking at the current, I am afraid that it will take some time for the water in this canal to reach the standard of being able to exercise boats.

"Very well, since the canals are all repaired, let them all go back and rest."

The wide canal was finally repaired, and this canal could directly reach most of the Great Cangguo.

When the canal is opened, it will be possible to use ships to pull ore and goods, and everything will be much simpler.

As a result, the merchants of the other two countries have a much less advantage.

On the contrary, the merchants of the Great Cangguo still have a lot of advantages.

Seeing that the embankment was stable, Lu Chensheng also left with peace of mind and returned to Xinghan City with the guards.

The bridge on the road has also been built, and the span is relatively long, so the slope is acceptable, not too steep.

The water in the canal is slowly rising, but it looks very muddy.

It's freshly excavated soil, and it's easy to muddy the water.

But wait for the soil inside to settle down, and then the water will become clear.

"How many ships have been built over there by Uncle Lin?"

Lu Chensheng suddenly asked.

"There are already three ships, and one more is still under construction, and it should take another ten days to complete it."

Three? Some of them aren't enough.

Lu Chensheng's brows furrowed when he heard this.

"Shopkeeper, in addition to these three accidents, we still have six ships in Taohuawu, but they are parked in Dacang Country, and now that the canal is open, it can be used."

Another person on the side took over and spoke.

Lu Chensheng was stunned when he heard this, he almost forgot that there were still so many ships.

I thought they were all lost at that time, but I didn't expect Qiongyue and them to be properly placed in the country.

In this way, it is still a good thing, with these six plus three, a total of nine ships are enough.

"Well done."

Lu Chensheng praised him, and the guards on the side grinned, his face full of joy.

Being able to be praised by Lu Chensheng is a very happy thing for them.

You know, it's not uncommon to want to get the shopkeeper's praise on weekdays.

The canal had just been built, and the Tartars had just been brought back, when a group of people came to ask for someone.

Mining, logging, cement factories, in short, all kinds of dignitaries.

In a matter of moments, all of these people were cleaned up, and then they were all taken to work.

"The soldiers who went out to dig the canal, gave them a day of rest and then returned to the team, and the embankment sent people to guard it in turn, so as not to have any accidents.

On the side of Dacang Kingdom, if the flood is solved, notify the people on the Pingyun Mountain Range and let them come back. ”

Lu Chensheng ordered one by one, and someone on the side wrote it down, and after making sure that Lu Chensheng had no other orders, he turned around and went to do it immediately.

Lu Chensheng also brought a lot of mud on the clothes he got outside, returned to his residence to take a bath, and after changing his clothes, he continued to deal with various things.
