The most striking thing is the huge fountain in the middle of the square.

This is a pool fountain, the pool is surrounded by cement tamping, there are marble wall tiles pasted outside, the diameter of the pool is 10 meters, the center is built with strange stones, and the fountain is sprayed out by the fine holes in the strange stones, these strange stones are specially processed, there are five water spouts, sprayed from five different directions, it looks gorgeous and coordinated, making people feel refreshed and in a good mood at a glance.

Li Yi ran out for this fountain, and during this period of time, Li Yi basically put all his experience on it, in ancient times when there were no stainless steel and water pumps, the water pressure and transmission of the fountain were a big problem.

Li Yi didn't think about how to build it at first, but when he was barbeconking with the gentlemen, he suddenly remembered the 12 zodiac signs, and then he had a flash of inspiration, remembering the fountain that Lang Shining built when Qianlong built the Old Summer Palace, which was the original 12 zodiac fountains.

And Lang Shining's solution is a reservoir. Once the idea is there, it will be out of control, and Li Yi went to Shuicheng Square to see that he had a lot to do.

The center of the square is about 600 meters away from the Qinhuai River, and the shops along the Qinhuai River are basically divided into two small shops in a "back-to-back" mode. The shops around the square are large two-in-one shops, about 100 meters wide.

Li Yi's idea was to build a cistern on the top floor of one of the shops, then pipe the water from the top to the bottom of the fountain, and then design a pipe in the specific water level of the fountain pool to divert the water into the Qinhuai River, forming a loop, so that there was no need to worry about overflowing. Because the height of the reservoir is about ten meters, so, the water pressure is enough, as for the pipeline, only the cement pipe can be used, wrapped in a layer of waterproof material, which is designed by professional workers, Li Yi does not understand, as for the water in the reservoir, it is designed by Li Yi A waterwheel, but due to the urgency of time, the waterwheel has not yet been built, and now only artificial water storage can be used, but because the reservoir is large enough, a pool of water is enough to spray for three hours, and it is only these two days of event, so it can only rely on artificial water storage to work harder. However, in a few days, the watermill is estimated to be completed, and it will be easy then.

And the most important thing is that there are fire walls in the shops, so that the reservoir does not freeze in winter, and of course, the weather in Nanjing is not too cold, and it does not freeze under normal circumstances.

This fountain can be said to be Li Yi's proud work, the first artificial fountain in Chinese history only appeared in the Qing Dynasty, and now it is more than 1,000 years in advance, you can imagine how great the impact on everyone will be.

As soon as Li Er and the others saw this fountain, their footsteps were already frozen, and they looked at this fountain blankly, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde, the two fools, thought that there were divine objects in the water, and wanted to find out, but they squirmed and didn't dare to move forward, and Li Yi, who looked at it like that, wanted to laugh.

Wei Zheng is no better, the literati's favorite thing is to explore cause and effect, so when he sees such a strange thing, he naturally wants to figure out the principle, but no matter how he wants to break his head, he can't figure out how this thing was formed.

And Qin Qiong's temperament is relatively light, although he is also very curious, but he is not too gaffe.

Sun Simiao doesn't matter at all, this old Taoist only has medicine in his heart, and he is not interested in anything else.

The most excited ones here belong to the four women, although they know that Li Yi has been busy making this thing, but they have never known what this thing is for, yesterday it was still a bare pool, because the valve of the sprinkler head was not opened, so although there was water in the reservoir, it could not form a fountain.

Today, as soon as I saw the fountain after the water spray, the girl's heart suddenly sprouted, and her eyes were full of little stars. The attraction of fountains to girls is quite large. The fountain pool has a number of stairs and strange stones scattered around it for people to sit on. You can't be caught by the fountain, but you can be closest to the fountain, so you can observe the fountain up close.

Under the guidance of Li Yi, the four girls slowly walked to the strange rocks and sat down, and observed the fountain up close, which made them even more excited.

Li Er and these people are like this, not to mention other people? If someone hadn't explained it, it was estimated that these people would have been able to bow down as a miracle, and even if someone explained, it had already made everyone in awe, and it was conceivable how powerful the fountain was to the ancients. And Qinhuai Water City is also famous all over the world because of this fountain, so that the name of Jinling spread all over the world overnight, and spread all over the world in January, so that the land prices around the square soared like a rocket, and even reached ten times the price of other shops.

After a long time, Li Er calmed down from the shock, dragged Li Yi to his side, and asked eagerly, "Stinky boy, what the hell is this?" How? ”

Li Yi naturally knew everything. "Uncle Li, this thing is called a fountain, and it is made according to the principle of water pressure, so it is not difficult!" Subsequently, Li Yi explained the principle of the fountain to Li Er in popular language, and it took a long time for Li Er and others to understand it.

Li Er stroked his beard and sighed: "You kid, it's amazing that you can actually research such a strange thing!" ”

Wei Zheng also exclaimed: "Yes, with this fountain alone, Jinling will be famous all over the world!" ”

Wei Zheng looked at Li Yi, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes. Li Yi said that he would make Jinling rise within half a year, and everyone thought it was a joke at first, but now it seems that Li Yi really did it, it was they who were blinded, not to mention the out-of-season vegetables, just with this fountain, Jinling has the capital to rise, not to mention that with this unique water city and out-of-season vegetables, Jinling's take-off has become a certainty!

It was hard for Wei Zheng to imagine that a fifteen-year-old child would have such great wisdom, to say that Li Yi's various inventions in the past could be said to be a plaything. The business alliance can also be said to depreciate itself and be willing to degenerate into businessmen. If it is an achievement, charity and money are considered a success, but they are not too dazzling. But now, if you run an abandoned city to this point in half a year, you can become an administrative genius, and you can have the posture of a prime minister. If it is slightly transformed, there may not be no chance of being commensurate, and Li Yi is still so young?

At this moment, Wei Zheng had some extra calculations in his heart, perhaps, Li Yi is a good successor, and what Datang needs most now is a successor!

It's just that what Wei Zheng doesn't know is that Li Yi's ambition is not in the court, so he can only disappoint him!

However, what Wei Zheng thinks, Li Er may also have some plans in his heart, but he is not known to others.

Looking at the fountain in front of him, Li Er's eyes leaked a trace of heat. "Boy, get one for me in Daxing Palace next year!"

"Nani?" Li Yi was stupid at the time, Daxing Palace? Get a fountain? What is this called? Can you make this fountain if you want to? For the sake of this fountain, Li Yi can be said to have exhausted his mental strength, and it is better to kill him if he gets another one.

It's just that as soon as he wanted to refuse, he was said by Li Er. "That's it!"

Li Yi turned his gaze to Wei Zheng again, hoping that this old stubborn who had always advocated frugality could stop Li Er.

It's just that Li Yi miscalculated, maybe compared to frugality, Wei Zheng would prefer that there would be a fountain in Chang'an City, so Li Yi was ignored again.

Li Yi was completely desperate, as soon as his eyes were dark, he felt that countless *** were running overhead, and Tai Nima was bullying!
