Volume 4 The Rising Star of the Imperial Capital 15 The Imperial Capital Water Project 04
Riding Lulu soon flew over Samus Castle, because Xu Zheng asked for the privilege of flying over Samus Castle from Old Rex, he let Lulu roar in advance to announce his arrival, so he rode Lulu directly over the city gate and flew to the top of the castle to descend, and then led Lulu down the stairs at the top of the castle.
The guards guarding the city all knew the second prince of the Samues family, and they also liked this clever and ghostly young man, and they all watched him run down with the demonic beast happily.
Unable to find where Dane and Rex were, Xu Zheng casually grabbed a middle-aged guard and asked, "Uncle, where are the two Majesies?"
A prince in the hall called the guard uncle, and suddenly the guard was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "In the council room." ”
Xu Zheng scratched his scalp and said, "I'm not familiar with Samuel Castle, can you take me there?"
Sweat...... I don't know my home. The guards had a big head for a while, so they had to take Xu Zheng to the conference hall.
Walking to the conference hall, Xu Zheng thanked the guards with a smile and told Lulu and Maoqiu to play by themselves before going inside.
Entering the council chamber, the old man of Rex was not there, and Dane was sitting at the head of a large round table, surrounded by a circle of ministers, and the scene was very much like a round table.
Bruce and Foran didn't come to the table, and both sat in the chairs next to them. Xu Zheng quietly walked over, sat down next to Bruce, and asked in a low voice, "What are you discussing?"
Bruce said: "It's not the water problem in the imperial capital. It's the end of August now, and soon the autumn planting season is coming, and there is a serious shortage of water in the entire Cheng'an border. The Minister of Agriculture is applying to his father to transfer water to support autumn sowing by using the water from the moat and Lake Samus. ”
"What do you say?"
"Opinions are not unanimous, and opposition is high. Bruce frowned and said, "Except for the Samus royal family and the Ministry of Agriculture who support the mobilization of water in the imperial capital, the other ministries are against it. Alas, this year's rain is particularly problematic. If you don't use the imperial capital to store water. The land around Zion will certainly not go smoothly. However, once the imperial capital was used to use water, not only the residents of Zion could not be guaranteed to have water for their daily use. Even the city's defense water will have problems. This was the case the year before last, because the imperial capital was short of water, and the Ministry of Joint Prevention and Security did not even have the water to extinguish the city fires. However, the climate here is hot and dry, and it is easy to catch fire. Headaches. On the one hand, it is necessary to reassure the people and prevent it, and on the other hand, it is necessary to divert water for autumn sowing. It's all huddled together. ”
Xu Zheng turned his head to look over, and the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture was a sturdy middle-aged man, who was slapping the table excitedly and said loudly: "If the autumn sowing cannot be carried out smoothly, what will we eat next year? ”
The Minister of Life sighed: "I can't say the same, once the capital city does not even have the most basic domestic water. There are problems in people's lives, and autumn sowing cannot be carried out smoothly. ”
The Minister of Joint Prevention and Security said: "The urban fires of the year before last are a lesson from the past, and without water, the fire cannot be prevented. After it was burned, the houses were set on fire, and there was no water to put out the fires, and more property was burned. This part of the loss is like buying food. It's worth an autumn sowing. ”
The Minister of Commerce also said: "It is true, the capital is short of water, normal activities cannot be carried out, and there are too many aspects of the impact. I am not in favor of using the imperial capital to store water. Autumn sowing can only be fetched from other places. ”
The Minister of Agriculture was furious and said, "Where is there water in other places? The nearest river is a two-day trip from Zion, and far water can't quench your thirst!"
The ministers fought over the use of water in the imperial capital, and Dane was overwhelmed by the news. He stretched out his hand to touch his forehead and sighed, "Everyone is quiet, and it won't help to quarrel." Or think carefully about what can be done to solve the current dilemma. ”
Xu Zheng also sighed secretly when he heard it, such a roundtable meeting is fair and open-minded, and everyone is working hard for a common issue. These ministers and nobles are also different from the dignitaries and nobles in their previous lives, not fighting for power and profit, but really fighting for the tomorrow of the imperial capital, which makes people feel encouraged and happy. It's just that the content of the meeting is bothering people, and the problem of drought and lack of rain in Cheng'an has really become a problem, and the stalk has become a problem.
As soon as Dane's words came out, all the ministers quieted down, and lowered their heads to ponder the solution to the water disaster in the imperial capital. I thought about it for a long time, but no one had a good idea.
Seeing everyone like this, Xu Zhengla's unorthodox idea of sponsorship was gone, and the significance was due to the seriousness of the problem, and the reckless plan rushed in and proposed the solution of the magic array and water tower, and he did not dare to export it casually, but pondered and judged its input cost and feasibility again.
As the meeting continued, although everyone was actively trying to find a way to solve this problem, it was difficult for the daughter-in-law to cook without rice. The lack of water is a real problem at hand, and the final outcome of the meeting can only be inconclusive.
The time was approaching the afternoon, and the ministers dissipated with gloomy faces, and the Dane family and Xu Zheng stayed. Seeing Dane rubbing his brows tiredly, Xu Zheng walked up gently, curled his two fingers on both temples of Dane, and slowly rubbed Dane's acupuncture points with pressing and bird techniques to help him relieve fatigue.
Only then did Dane notice Xu Zheng's arrival, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's here." What's interesting about Ogma Academy. Let's hear it, I've heard bad news for a day, and now I just want to have some fun. ”
Xu Zheng smiled lightly, kneaded for a while, and then changed his technique, using the thickest part of the abdominal flesh of the palms on both sides to squeeze the acupuncture points on Dane's forehead and ears in a circle, further helping him relax.
Dane closed his eyes comfortably and said with a smile: "This skill is very powerful." It feels so comfortable, and people are much more relaxed all of a sudden. Where did you learn it?"
Xu Zheng was silent, and his subordinates did not stop.
Dane smiled again, "Come on, I won't ask you." Anyway, you have a lot of weird things about you. Hey, to be honest, several children are not as caring as you. ”
Bruce chuckled softly, "Father, you're too snobbish, aren't you?" If you have a new son, you will forget the old son, and I will learn this technique from Xu Zheng when I have a big deal, and I will rub it for you when I have time. ”
Dane closed his eyes and smiled, "You, where could you have such delicate thoughts except for your strength in making friends?" Not to mention, you just don't have Xu Zheng's cleverness. ”
Bruce was overjoyed and said, "Then you give him the throne." Don't throw it at me. ”
Xu Zheng's head hit Dane's head with a thud, and after raising his head, he looked at Bruce angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't do my part, but I throw it on my head." ”
At this moment, even Forren laughed. Xu Zheng straightened Dane's head and continued to massage, while talking about some interesting stories about Ogma, such as being beaten into a pig's head by the new and old students of the school for a month.
Dane laughed so hard that Bruce and Foran laughed so hard that tears flowed from their eyes, and they said straight: "Xu Zheng, you are so strong! No one can compare to you." ”
Xu Zheng himself was also happy, recalling his pig's head appearance, and he couldn't stop laughing.
Seeing that the skin on both sides of Dane's forehead began to redden, showing signs of live blood, Xu Zheng withdrew his hand, clasped his palms, and gently tapped on Dane's head. After knocking for a while, he suddenly said softly: "Uncle Dane, maybe I have a way to solve the water problem in the imperial capital." ”
"What?!" Dane sat up straight and said in surprise and joy, "Is there a solution to the artificial rain problem you mentioned last time?"
Bruce and Forren also leaned over and sat down on the chair next to Xu Zheng, paying full attention to Xu Zheng's words.
Xu Zheng straightened Dane's head, moved his neck with both hands, began to grasp the muscles, and said, "No." That problem is too much to solve in a short period of time. I found other ways that might be possible to alleviate the water use in the imperial capital. I just don't know if it's going to work. I was very confident in this method, but after listening to the arguments of the ministers just now, I was not so confident, so I didn't dare to say it. ”
Dane said eagerly, "Tell me about it." ”
Xu Zheng talked about the plan that he and Mr. Forrester designed to convert pure water into pure water and then build a water tower.
Dane, Bruce and Foran listened with great light, and praised, "Wonderful!"
Xu Zheng said: "Don't be too happy yet. Detailed cost calculations and construction planning are required to determine whether this can be achieved. ”
Foran pondered for a moment and asked, "Second brother, how many barrels did you and Teacher Forrest give you and Teacher Forrest for an hour?"
Xu Zheng said: "The final measured results can convert 20 barrels of pure water in one hour. Without measuring the amount after adding the hyperbolic magic pattern system, I estimate that it can be increased by at least one and a half buckets. If you improve the materials of the painting array, I think it should be able to reach the appearance of 28 buckets of water in one hour, as Mr. Forrester said. ”
"Twenty-eight barrels, are you sure?" said Forlen nervously.
Xu Zheng nodded: "It will only be more, not less, we are all estimated by the lowest amount." However, the maximum amount is expected to have a lot of space, at most one or two more buckets can come out when the play is normal. ”
"That's it!" Fu Fen said with great joy: "According to the calculation of twenty-eight barrels, it is nearly seven hundred barrels of water a day, which is more than enough for the use of Samuel Castle! This water tower and the water intake and storage facilities of the magic array can solve the big problem! At least it can alleviate the water use of the imperial capital, so that other water sources in the imperial capital can be transferred out of the imperial capital to solve the problem of autumn sowing."
