", big news, big news!" As soon as Ink Frost entered the dormitory, he said happily.

Concubine De, who was leaning on the beauty couch, stopped the female red in her hand, looked up and saw that Mo Shuang's face was happy, her heart moved, and she said, "What happened?" ”

Mo Shuang was not in a hurry to speak, but glanced at the minions in the temple. Concubine De understood and said lazily: "You all go down." ”

After waiting for the slaves to retreat, Mo Shuang approached and said: "Niangniang, the slave maid got the news that the jade concubine has just been beaten into the cold palace by the king." ”

"What? The Jade Concubine was beaten into the cold palace! What the hell is going on? Concubine De was really pleasantly surprised by the news at the moment.

Concubine Yu has always been her strongest opponent, and now that the opponent has lost power, she can't like it.

"Niangniang is like this, I heard that Concubine Yu collided with a man in the Imperial Garden tonight, and she ended up like that." After Mo Shuang finished speaking, she paused slightly and said, "Concubine Yu also deserves it, who made her so high-flying and domineering on weekdays, no one in her eyes, this time she will be retributed." ”

"Ink Frost, did the Jade Concubine really just bump into a man?" After the joy, Concubine De said with a solemn face.

In the half year since Concubine Yu entered the palace, she has been favored and has provoked many harem concubines and concubines. The jade concubine was unmatched for a while, because of her perverse and domineering temperament, she made countless enemies in the palace, and every time a courtier impeached the jade concubine for being arrogant and domineering, and seducing the king, but she was reprimanded by the king.

Now that Concubine Yu has been punished like this for offending others, it is really unbelievable. What kind of man made the king willing to punish his favorite concubine?

"Niangniang, the slave maid is not very clear, but I heard that the man is very similar to the woman in the painting painted by the king half a year ago." Hearing this, Mo Shuang said thoughtfully.

After hearing this, Concubine De was immersed in her thoughts for a long time. Mo Shuang saw Concubine De's pair of willow eyebrows frowning slightly, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Yu has now been beaten into the cold palace, I am afraid that she will not be able to set off any more storms, and you must win the throne of the queen. ”

"I'm afraid that I'm afraid that I'm just going to leave a jade concubine, and I'm going to have a stronger opponent." A hint of worry appeared on Concubine Yu's face.

Mo Shuang said with a smile: "Niangniang, you shouldn't be referring to the man that the Jade Concubine collided with tonight, right?" ”

Seeing that Concubine De was noncommittal, Mo Shuang analyzed: "Niangniang, think about it, even if the king really has something to do with that man, how can there be a man who has been the queen since ancient times?" So even if the king favors that man, he will never see the light and will not be able to get on the stage. Don't worry. Most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty supported you as queen, and now that you are pregnant and give birth to a dragon heir, the queen's position is a sure thing for you. ”

After hearing this, Concubine De unconsciously lowered her head and stroked her belly, which was already slightly bulging, and a touch of pride flashed on her delicate face.

Among the harem concubines, she and the Jade Concubine have the highest call to be crowned queens, and now that the Jade Concubine is being beaten into the cold palace, she is not afraid of the queen's position.

The banquet is set up in the water pavilion of the Qingyang Palace. The water pavilion is built on the artificial lake, from the shore to the pavilion, there is a small wooden bridge to pass, the surrounding lake is rippling, and the bright moonlight adds more poetic and picturesque feeling.

Many roses are planted around the pavilion, and now they are blooming gracefully, and the pavilion is filled with an intoxicating fragrance of flowers.

Drinking and singing, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and enjoying the night of the lake, it is really an elegant enjoyment.

In the middle of the night, that familiar face always appeared in her mind, but the person she was thinking about was sitting in front of him, and she didn't know where to start with a thousand words.

"Time flies so fast, half a year has passed. I think you've forgotten me. After a long time, Dongfang Lie broke the silence and said.

At this moment, looking at the water condensation, his expression was calm, and there was no trace of sadness. At that moment, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: this woman was always strong and made him feel distressed.

When he learned that Situ Shaogong treated him like this, he was still worried about this woman for a while, but now that he sees that she looks good, he can also put his mind at ease.

Although she knew that Dongfang Lie didn't really blame her for what she said, Shui Ningyan was still a little embarrassed, she coughed dryly and said, "We can be regarded as living and dying together, how could Miss Ben forget your old friend, it's really because of trivial matters." ”

"Three glasses of wine." When the words of the East fell, they poured wine for the water condensation. The water condensed the smoke and drank three glasses at the moment.

Seeing a touch of sorrow between Dongfang Lie's eyebrows, he didn't go for a long time. Shui Ningyan's heart moved, and he immediately spoke: "Dongfang Lie, you seem to have something on your mind, say it to see if I can help." ”

After Dongfang Lie heard this, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, and he spoke: "The terrain in the south of Nanyue is complex, so it leads to uneven water sources, and there will be droughts every summer to this time, and this year's drought is especially serious. Every year, a large part of the funds allocated for disaster relief are spent, and they are like a cancer that can never be removed. ”

Shui Ningyan heard this, and suddenly realized. When she came to South Vietnam, she saw a severe drought along the way. No wonder Dongfang Lie has a headache.

Shui Ningyan lowered his eyes, saw a table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and immediately pursed his lips and smiled: "Dongfang Lie, old friends get together, you are so hospitable, as an old friend, I also prepared a gift for you." ”

Dongfang Lie was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "What kind of gift?" ”

Dongfang Lie saw that Shui Ningyan was empty-handed, and he was surprised and expectant. This woman has always been ingenious, and since she said that she had prepared a gift for him, it must be very special.

Shui Ningyan smiled indifferently, and immediately took out a roll of drawings from his sleeve.

"What is this?" Dongfang Lie took the drawings handed by Shui Ningyan and said curiously.

"Just open it and look at it."

Dongfang Lie opened it according to his words, and saw that there were many terrain trends and water flow directions drawn on it, and there were very detailed explanations next to it.

"Ningyan, you mean that you can use groundwater to water the fields." Dongfang Lie was overjoyed when he saw the contents on those drawings.

"Groundwater irrigation refers to the extraction of groundwater for irrigation through buildings that take water. Groundwater irrigation is divided into well irrigation, spring irrigation and interception of underflow irrigation. Their corresponding water intake buildings are wells, structures that divert spring water, and submerged dams. The qanats are also a unique type of building that draws groundwater...... "At this time, the water condensation smoke explained the groundwater irrigation.

In general, only areas that are not particularly arid will have abundant ground, so the use of groundwater irrigation can definitely alleviate drought to a large extent.

After listening to Shui Ningyan's answer, Dongfang Lie praised without hesitation: "Wonderful, Ningyan, how did you come up with these?" ”

"Oh, I learned it from a friend." After Shui Ningyan finished speaking, he complained in his heart.

She was talking about ancient watering techniques. Now that Dongfang Lie asked, she would not be brazen and confess. Groundwater irrigation has a long history, and she is just carrying the wisdom of the ancients.

When Dongfang Lie heard this, he was stunned for a moment, originally he thought that this method of watering groundwater was thought up by Shui Ningyan, but now when he heard Shui Ningyan say that there was another person, he was stunned for a while, and said in his heart: Sure enough, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky! He had long been impressed by this woman's clever mind, but he did not expect that someone would be so smart.

"Ning Yan, if you have a chance, this king must also get to know this friend. In his way, he will surely be able to relieve the annual drought. This really distracted the king's heart. ”

As soon as he heard that Dongfang Lie wanted to get acquainted, Shui Ningyan had the urge to bite his tongue. Isn't that just lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot? If she knew that Dongfang Lie would say this, she might as well just say that she came up with it.

"Okay, if I have the chance, I will definitely introduce this person to you." Shui Ningyan was perfunctory at this time, and then quickly changed the topic, "By the way, the most important thing in this groundwater irrigation is to adapt measures to local conditions, so I'll tell you more about it." ”

Inevitably, Dongfang Lie asked some more questions that were a little difficult for her to answer, and Shui Ningyan hurriedly changed the topic.

"It's okay, this king does have something he doesn't understand." Dongfang Lie nodded. Shui Ningyan listened to the words, and immediately made a detailed explanation.

"Well irrigation is the main way to exploit and utilize groundwater. It is mainly suitable for areas where surface water sources are insufficient and groundwater sources are abundant. It is characterized by relatively stable water sources, short construction periods, and flexible management and scheduling. Since the water is pumped and the groundwater level is lowered accordingly, the combination of canals and wells is implemented in surface water irrigation areas where there is a threat of secondary salinization. The combined use of surface water and groundwater can not only ensure the timely use of water for crops, but also help prevent and control soil salinization. However, in addition to artesian wells, well irrigation requires water to be lifted, which consumes a certain amount of energy. In areas where well irrigation is developed, there should be sufficient groundwater resources, i.e. water sources should be continuously replenished. If the groundwater resources are insufficient or overexploited, the groundwater level will continue to decline significantly, resulting in the failure of the original water lifting tools, the scrapping of wells, and even the deterioration of the regional ecological environment. To this end, to develop well irrigation, it is first necessary to do a good job in hydrogeological survey or exploration in irrigation areas, evaluate groundwater resources, and formulate a well irrigation development plan on the basis of supply and demand balance analysis. Secondly, in order to rationally exploit groundwater, it is necessary to select appropriate well types according to local conditions. ”

"Qanats, on the other hand, are a special form of groundwater reference. In places where the groundwater slope is large and the amount of water is abundant, shafts and culverts are excavated, and culverts are used to collect and transport groundwater to farmland for irrigation. During the period from summer to autumn in South Vietnam, the weather is dry and the evaporation is large, and the surface water from the melting snow in the mountains flows into the alluvial and alluvial fans, and almost all of it seeps into the gravel layer to become the underground water flow, and the qanats are definitely an ideal form of gathering this underground water source for development and utilization. It does not need to carry water tools, does not consume energy, and can reduce evaporation losses and avoid wind and sand invasion......"
