Chapter 234: The Aqueduct

Lin Qingqing is happy because he has escaped the pursuit of the town officials, and on the other side, Hua Ming, who was wronged, is extremely wronged.

He didn't know anything about Lin Qingqing's construction of the fountain. He was only in charge of the planning of the canal, when suddenly several villagers came up from behind him and tied him up tightly.

Then he was tied up to the town magistrate and made offerings. It was only after he questioned that he knew that something had happened. He didn't want to expose Lin Qingqing, but this feeling of honor hanging on his body that had nothing to do with him was too uncomfortable for him.

"My lord, the fountain is none of my business, and Xiao Sheng doesn't know about it." Hua Ming said.

"Why should Hua Ming students be so modest, so many townspeople have witnessed your feats, you will accept this iron medal, and when it is time for the imperial examination, it will not be convenient to exchange this brand." The town officer said.

"You're mistaken, what I did has nothing to do with the fountain...... Hua Ming said to the townsfolk who testified.

"However, at that time, you were the only one in the vicinity who was repairing the canal, who were you not?" One of the townspeople said.

Hua Ming tried many times, but he couldn't escape without exposing Lin Qingqing. In the end, he gave up and accepted the iron sign with the words 'Debate'.

Then, very unhappy, he drank enough tea at the town official and returned to Jiangle Village again.

When Hua Ming returned to Jiangle Village, he found that the villagers were dancing happily, which immediately made Hua Ming a little angry.

But Hua Ming's expression was too obvious, and before he was about to have a seizure, Lin Qingqing said to him: "Okay, Hua Ming." Aren't you a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam for the imperial examination? This is an extra brand, why are you not happy. ”

In the end, Hua Ming just looked at the happy Lin Qingqing, didn't say anything, and resigned himself to go back to supervise the repair of the canal.

For Lin Qingqing and the villagers of Jiangle Town, this was just a trivial matter, but they didn't expect that the impact of this incident would be so huge.

The fact that Hua Ming built the fountain at a young age has already begun to be widely sung by people outside. Unlike Lin Qingqing, a woman as the protagonist, they are not stingy with adjectives when describing Hua Ming.

Soon, Hua Ming had the title of 'Talent of Water Control', and together with Lin Qingqing, the 'Daughter of Miracles', he became the two most dazzling figures in Jiangle Village.

And Hua Ming's story, the time to take effect was unexpectedly fast, just a few days later, there were female visitors coming to Hua Ming.

For the Ming Dynasty, water conservancy is the foundation of agriculture, and agriculture is the foundation of the family. Therefore, talents like Hua Ming, who have both knowledge and water conservancy knowledge, have an incomparably broad space for development in the future.

What's more, when Hua Ming went to Yongyuan Town to lie down, many girls saw him. For them, Hua Ming's handsome cream boy seems to have an irresistible charm.

This kind of thing may be a bad thing for Hua Ming, but it is a good thing for Lin Qingqing. She began to take on the name of Hua Ming, and constantly attracted visitors from all over the world.

It's just that occasionally some people put Lin Qingqing, the 'miracle girl', and Hua Ming, the 'talent for water control', together, which makes Lin Qingqing a little depressed.

On the contrary, it was Hua Ming, after listening to the statement of this 'talented woman', he smiled and said: "One report and one report." It's not that you don't report it, the time has not yet come. ”

This incident can be regarded as a small episode in Jiangle Village, but people quickly came to their senses and focused on the most important canal.

The construction of the main body of the canal was not easy, and Lin Qingqing could not play much role even if he was to guide.

And Lin Qingqing turned to the construction of the canal.

The so-called head of the canal is the place where the water is diverted. In this kind of place, the water source is exposed to the air, and there are unexplained fallen leaves and dead branches, so the requirements for the head of the canal are much higher.

Lin Qingqing's method was a little ahead of its time. She is filtered with sand. It was at the source that all the sand was buried, and then only in the middle of the ditch was built with a penetrating wall.

In this way, all the water has to be filtered through sand in order to flow into the channel, so the water itself is very clean.

With current technology, this is the most advanced way to worry. It is able to filter impurities in the water to the greatest extent.

There is also an advantage. That is the water that comes out evenly, gradually merging from a trickle into a large stream. Because most of the water is stored in the sand, it is able to keep the amount of water stable throughout the year.

Such a mature water storage plan is not easy to achieve, and Lin Qingqing also asked the villagers to change it many times before it succeeded. After many revisions, the villagers dug up the manhole several times, during which Lin Qingqing also corrected his plan several times before he was satisfied with the final result.

Lin Qingqing thought that the repeated revisions would make the villagers dissatisfied, but she didn't expect that as she revised again and again, the enthusiasm of the villagers became higher and higher, and in the end, the eyes that looked at Lin Qingqing were only blind worship.

Lin Qingqing lacks the common sense of this era in some aspects. For these villagers, if the fountain was just a trick, the manholes responsible for draining the water are real creations.

With the excavation and modification again and again, the villagers have seen the complex renewal of the structure, and the exquisite design has convinced them. You know, they are the people of a mountain village who have been farmers for generations, and they are no strangers to the construction of water canals.

Their ancestors understood the power of an ingenious canal for farming. The villagers of Jiangle Village began to secretly refer to Lin Qingqing as a 'goddess'.

However, they didn't dare to call it that way in front of Lin Qingqing, after all, they also knew that Lin Qingqing didn't want to be too eye-catching.

……

"Uncle, where are you taking me?" A visitor from the town, led by a villager, walked up the hill.

"Didn't you want to ask why the water in our village is so sweet?" The old man said to the young man.

"Oh? Could it be a natural spring in the mountains? The young man asked.

"Young people, don't be mistaken by books, there are actually many problems with natural springs. It will bring a lot of things from the field, and if you don't cook it once, it will smell earthy. The old man said.

"Oh? Could it be that the water in Jiangle Village has another origin? The young man asked.

"Shhh, I'll tell you someone quietly. Come to this aqueduct and try it. So saying, the old man opened a stone slab and beckoned to the young man.

"Who made this, such an ingenious canal?" The young man shouted in surprise.
