Chapter 36: Drawing the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project

Why did Yulian want to grab that piece of paper?

Because the painting on the paper was Xuanyuan Xuanling, he was holding the teacup and leisurely tasting the tea in the cup.

On the right side there is an inscription: The first cow.

It was Yulian who drew the picture of the pear blossom in the Foggy Mountain, and when she saw the time, she secretly looked at Xuanyuan Xuanling from a distance, and casually drew his demeanor at that time.

Not to mention the painting, because I saw Xuanyuan Xuanling's posture that had never been more leisurely and comfortable, I suddenly remembered the five oxen I had drawn.

The first of them was a cow with a leisurely look that resembled him.

Hence the inscription: The first cow.

Yulian's heart was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at Xuanyuan Xuanling's gaze.

It's so embarrassing, it's too scary, I secretly peeked at him and didn't say anything, and I drew him, and even compared him to a cow!

Therefore, at this time, Yulian was at a loss, so embarrassed that she wished there was a hole in the ground, so she had to go in and hide.

But how did this painting get into his hands?

Yes, he was in a hurry just now and landed in the curtain, could it be that Xuanyuan Xuanling had been there!

So what did he do in the place where he painted?

Dongfang noticed that the two of them looked different, so he also turned sideways and looked at the paper carefully.

"Ahem, ahem!" Dongfang coughed a few times in a row, pressed his fist to his mouth, and tried hard to hold back his laughter, and gave the princess a thumbs up.

"That's what I thought at the time." Dongfang winked at the princess.

Yulian didn't dare to answer, but stood obediently beside the queen.

Xuanyuan Xuanling carefully folded the paper in his hand and put it on the coffee table.

"With a little cleverness, it is not advisable to win by luck." Xuanyuan Xuanling glanced sideways at Yulian Dao.

"Oh, I won't dare next time." Yulian replied obediently.

Xuanyuan Xuanling no longer paid attention to Yulian, turned around and chatted with the queen for a few words, and left.

Yulian nervously saw Xuanyuan Xuanling walk out, and the figure was no longer visible, so she took three steps and made two steps, jumped to the coffee table, quickly picked up the paper he put down, and put it in his pocket.

After she did all this, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and then saw that Dongfang and the queen were looking at her with strange expressions.

Yulian turned around abruptly reflexively, Xuanyuan Xuanling didn't know when he would go and return, and was standing at the door looking at himself calmly?

Yulian's hands, feet and feet don't know where to put them?

And Xuanyuan Xuanling's chin raised slightly twice at this time, and stretched out his right hand.

Yulian obediently took out the drawing paper, stepped forward respectfully, and returned it to Xuanyuan Xuanling with both hands.

After Xuanyuan Xuanling took it, he let out a sneer from his throat, turned around and left.

However, as soon as he turned around, his face changed completely, and the corner of his right mouth went up, giving out a smile that was both happy and domineering.

When Yulian saw him walking away, she turned around and looked at Dongfang and the Empress, an embarrassed but polite smile appeared on her face.

The queen shook her head: "The princess is still a child, not in shape." ”

"Yes, both are children!" Dongfang also shook his head.

Three days later, the second round of artist selection was held as usual.

After Song Jiangzi sat down, he said respectfully: "Please ask the emperor to make a proposition." ”

"Water." The emperor didn't think about it for a while, so he said lightly.

Dongfang on the side immediately stood up and repeated the question loudly in a loud voice.

After Dongfang sat down, he smiled triumphantly at the curtain of Yulian.

Yulian smiled back: "Sure enough, Xuanyuan Xuanling really uses water as the theme, so it's easy to do." ”

After listening to the proposition of Dongfang speculation before, Yulian has been secretly thinking about it for the past few days, what kind of water should she paint in order to stand out from the many outstanding ones?

Whenever she thinks of water, Yulian thinks of the water in the lotus pond, and she feels dizzy.

After she meditated, she solemnly lifted the pen and sketched it one stroke at a time without hesitation.

She started with the upper left side of the paper, drew a surging and rushing Minjiang River, and then drew an island in the shape of a fish's mouth at the middle bend......

Because of my full concentration and concentration on painting, two hours passed in a flash.

Yulian rubbed her sour and soft right wrist, looked at her water-themed painting, and gave herself a sweet smile with satisfaction.

The other six finalists all completed their paintings on time.

After the paintings were handed over to Matsueko, he examined the paintings in his hands one by one, as usual, and only after about half an hour did he select the two best works.

There was only one place left in the top three, and he picked up the last painting.

At first, he only glanced at it, and probably felt that the painting style was rough, completely unaesthetic, and a bit messy, because the name was marked everywhere on the painting, which affected the overall visual effect, so he wanted to put it down casually.

But for some reason, he looked at it two more times, and then he took it back and put it near the front, from top to small, from left to right, back and forth several times.

Matsue seemed to find it more and more interesting, and pointed her finger to various places in the painting, nodding her head frequently, with a solemn expression.

After half an hour, he raised his head and stood up, holding the painting in both hands and placing it on Xuanyuan Xuanling's table.

Xuanyuan Xuanling glanced at it casually, and saw that the names were still marked in detail everywhere on the painting, so he turned his head to look at Dongfang, who quickly got up and said, "What does the emperor command?" ”

"Xuan No. 5 painting is here." The painting says No. 5, and of course Matsueko knows that he is the one who painted the mountain map in the fog.

Dongfang listened, couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and repeated the emperor's words again loudly.

Yulian was taking advantage of the gap between Songjiangzi's careful examination of the painting, and slept soundly at the desk, not hearing Dongfang's words at all.

It wasn't until Dongfang repeated it again that she suddenly woke up: "Here." ”

Yulian walked up to the emperor with sleepy eyes, and before she could speak, Song Jiangzi blurted out in surprise: "It's a girl!" ”

"This Dujiangyan water conservancy map, I have a lot of unclear points, please explain in detail."

"Honorable." In front of the public, Yulian didn't dare to make a mistake, and bent down to salute and replied respectfully.

"This water conservancy map is mainly divided into three parts, which are composed of three major projects: fish mouth, flying sand weir and treasure bottle mouth, which can solve the two major problems of flood discharge and sand discharge at the same time."

Xuanyuan Xuanling nodded: "This fish mouth is a watershed, but it is understandable, what is the principle of this sand discharge." ”

The question asked by Xuanyuan Xuanling was also the question that Song Jiangzi was puzzled about, and he looked at the little girl in front of him tightly, waiting for her answer.

Because the fish mouth was built at the bend, Yulian bent down and wanted to point to the source of the painting, but she couldn't reach it, so she naturally walked to the left side of Xuanyuan Xuanling, and pointed to the painting with her finger to explain it in detail.

"Your Majesty, you see that this is the turbulent Luojiang River, which is rushing down, and in the rainy season, it will flood the vast Jinguancheng Plain at any time."

"This artificial island is called Yuzui, it is built at the bend of the Minjiang River, after the turbulent water of the Luojiang River flows here, it will be divided into two by the watershed of Yuzui, divided into the inner river and the outer river, the right side is the inner river, only the water of the inner river can enter the Jinguancheng Plain."

Songjiangzi and Dongfang both stepped forward at this time, and after listening to Yulian's explanation, they both nodded frequently.

When Yulian saw that both of them had stepped forward, she naturally leaned in to make more room for them.

"The riverbed of the inner river, after manual excavation, is lower than the outer river, so that in the dry season of autumn and winter, it ensures that sixty percent of the water can flow into the inner river, and forty percent of the water is discharged to the outer river; In the spring and summer season, according to the law of bend dynamics, the water flow will rush to the inner side of the river bend, that is, the outer river, and because the outer river is relatively wide, there will be sixty percent of the water discharged to the outer river, and the other forty percent of the water will enter the inner river, so as to ensure the stability of the water volume entering this plain. ”

Yulian said this in one breath, feeling thirsty, she casually picked up the teacup on the table, drank all the water in the cup, and continued:

"In addition, the riverbed at the entrance of the inner river is concave, and the riverbed at the entrance of the outer river is convex, according to the natural law of water flow, the clear surface water flows to the recess, and the turbid bottom water flows to the convexity, so a large part of the sand and gravel will be discharged by the outer river, and the water flow from the fish mouth into the inner river is no longer so turbulent, but it still carries a large amount of sand and gravel, at this time, it is necessary to fly the sand weir to play a role."

Yulian followed the direction and pointed to the place marked as the flying sand weir on the map: "The flying sand weir is a low weir dam built at the end of the watershed of the fish mouth by the inner river: the water of the inner river flows here with a huge impact force, and it will be restricted by the narrow treasure bottle mouth next to the flying sand weir, plus the pushing effect of the pile next to the treasure bottle mouth, a whirlpool is formed at the flying sand weir, and the remaining sand and gravel in the water are thrown out of the flying sand weir by the whirlpool and discharged to the outer river, and the remaining small amount of sand and gravel is precipitated in the Fengqi nest in the backwater area opposite the flying sand weir and can be cleaned up by the river workers every year. In this way, the river embankment burst caused by sediment accumulation is effectively prevented. ”

Yulian paused, and Song Jiangzi immediately said, "Girl, please continue." ”

Yulian bent over, bowed, for a while, plus the fatigue of painting before, I wanted to rest for a while, but when I saw Song Jiangzi urging myself to continue talking, I leaned back to the right, and my butt seemed to be next to the chair, so I sat up comfortably......

This treasure bottle mouth is the last checkpoint of the Dujiangyan water conservancy project: here was originally a stone wall of Yulei Mountain, through the method of artificial fire boiling water, let the hard mountain stone burst open, forming a thousand-year-old unchanged width, because the shape resembles the bottle mouth and got the name. The function of the treasure bottle mouth is to restrict the amount of water entering the Jinguancheng Plain. If a large amount of water is blocked by the mouth of the treasure bottle during the flood period, the water level will rise, and when the water surface exceeds the flying sand weir on the left, it will be discharged to the outer river by the drainage channel behind the flying sand weir to reach the second flood discharge. ”

After Yulian explained the mouth of the treasure bottle in detail, she was about to listen to Dongfang and Songjiangzi's exclamations.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and Yulian looked up at the two of them suspiciously.

At this time, Dongfang and Songjiangzi both looked at themselves with the same strange eyes.

Yulian is a little confused, what? Isn't it right to say it yourself? She blinked, twisted her body, and as soon as she moved, she froze.

Yulian understood why the two of them looked at her strangely, it turned out that ......

Mom!!

It turned out that Yulian was sitting on Xuanyuan Xuanling's lap......

Just because of the engrossed explanation of the picture, the butt sat down naturally next to the thing to lean on.

It turned out to be above Emperor Xuanyuan's thigh!

Yulian was so frightened that she wanted to jump up immediately, but a big hand wrapped around her slender waist and hugged her tightly......
