Volume 4 The Rising Star of the Imperial Capital 21 The First Water Tower 04

When the water valve was opened, the water did not flow out immediately, and there was a gurgling sound of air surging in the pipe, and the water was rushing from a distance, and the air in the pipe was being pushed out. Then, it rang out like a cough, spewing out a jumble of air. Everyone stared at the snoring exit, and heard the sound of water from far to near, and after a few scattered sprays, the water flow became larger and stabilized, and the pure and transparent water flowed outward with a roar.

"Wha! It's water!" Led by Bonga, the next door screamed first, followed by the wild cheers of the whole room. The sound was so loud that many people shouted in unison, and the sound came directly from the next door, as if even the roof of the fireflies was about to fly.

York's gruff voice was particularly loud in the crowd of shouts: "! It's amazing, the water comes as soon as you open the valve! You can easily do it without magic! It's right not to go home, there are so many interesting things here!! Don't splash around! Li Chiyan, stand far away and don't get sprayed by the water." ”

Then there was the screaming of the little Banga profiteer: "Don't waste it, get something and put it in it! It's all money! What about the water tank in the backyard? Uncle Hughes, Uncle Hughes, what about those milk buckets? This thing is big!"

Maika's childlike voice was also abrupt in the background of a loud voice, and she shouted, "Stop screaming, Sister Ruki and I are already gone!

Ruki's words were short and direct, always vicious: "What's it called? Like an old woman." Did I call, go, get the tank!"

Hearing the noisy sound of the chaos on the other side of the firefly, the royal family and nobles on this side of the field were much calmer, although they were also excited to look at the rushing water, but no one screamed, everyone looked at the water flowing out, and showed joy. Only Lucina kept reaching under her throat. I tried and tried, but I always didn't seem to believe in this miraculous thing that water would flow out as soon as the valve was opened.

As a home-based civilian. Lucina doesn't know magic or alchemy. But she just represents the thoughts of the most grassroots civilians in Cheng'an. They don't care how the water comes from, they just feel that this water flow is magical, and the ordinary water hose seems quite wonderful in their eyes. As soon as the water is boiled, it will be cut off as soon as it is turned off, and it will come again when it is turned on. It's really open if you want to, turn it off if you want to, and use it whenever you want, eliminating the pain of drawing water, which is really convenient and easy to use. Lucina was so curious about the hose that she kept turning it on and off, turning it off and on again. Playing with the valve over and over again, his expression was fascinated.

This response was direct and honest, and water in the imperial capital of Zion has always been a precious thing. Access to water for civilians is difficult, and has been so for many years. The entire set of water towers and water supply systems brought by Xu Zheng through the barriers of time and space are for the entire Aris continent. have condensed too many things that are ahead of the times. Even though it's a plane of swords and sorcery, the tap water system that comes in as soon as it turns on is still an incredible surprise. Xu Zheng couldn't help but laugh in his eyes, thinking in his heart, such the same scene is probably happening all the time in the place where the water valve is connected to the tap water in the lower city of the imperial capital.

Quincy took the cup, took a cup and tasted it, and said, "Pure water." The water quality is pure, there is a little bit of strange smell of pipes, and I believe it will not be a problem soon after a few more washes. The water coming out of this pipe is much better than the water in the lake and the river. Clear and clean, there is no impurities at all, although it is not as sweet as Quanshan, but the degree of cleanliness can be used to drink. He turned his head to look at Xu Zheng, with an expression of shock and joy on his face, and said, "Xu Zheng, you have created another magic." His eyes were fixed on Xu Zheng's face, revealing an expression of unknown meaning, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Magical, see magic again." It's okay, it's okay – it's good that I chose to stay. He picked up his voice and said vaguely, "It's really good here." He took a shallow sip of the water in the cup and said with a smile: "It's a little weird, but it's like a wilderness—well, it smells of dawn." Hahaha, it's good to be alive! The wilderness is so good, this water is so good!"

Quincy couldn't help but look at Lucina with a happy face, a bright smile on her face for the first time. Quincy is less than forty years old, and he was already extremely handsome, and his personality in the underworld has gradually become lighter and lighter as he has stayed with Xu Zheng and his group for a long time, and his eyebrows and faces have begun to show the joy of a new life. He smiled brightly, his eyes were cheerful and soft, and his face was like a faint layer of brilliance, making him more and more handsome and mature, with the charm of a mature man. Lucina was so fixed that her face suddenly turned red inexplicably, and she quickly turned her face away, not daring to look at Quincy's eyes.

The water was still flowing, and the instinct to save and the idea that water was as expensive as gold due to water scarcity in the past made Lucina hurry to call York over after only playing with the water valve for a while. The two of them together, for fear that the water would be lost in vain, took out all kinds of containers and tried their best to store water.

The imperial capital has always been short of water, and every household is accustomed to having a water tank for water storage, and the backyard of the field can make wine, and there are more water tanks. Dane looked at the busy Lucina, signaled to the top, and several soldiers rushed up to help Lucina store water. Dane looked at the soldiers and Lucina who were receiving the water, full of joy, and asked casually, "What is this water called?"

Forrester said: "Xu Zheng has already thought about it, and the name is called tap water. This name is very apt, tap water, isn't that exactly like this, and it's not specifically to draw water, as soon as the water is boiled, it really comes by itself. ”

Dane burst out laughing, "Tap water? Not to mention whether this water tower can finally solve the urgent need of autumn sowing, just for the degree of convenience, it is worth vigorously promoting. ”

All the ministers nodded, this tap water was obviously convenient and easy to use. The aristocrats were already beginning to make up their minds that no matter how expensive the construction of this water tower and tap water system was, they would find a way to build another one and connect the convenient water source to their homes.

Xu Zheng laughed dryly, this name was chosen by him, it was simply a direct application from the name of his previous life. I couldn't make a sound at the moment, so I could only scratch the back of my head in embarrassment, pretending to be serious and go to see Lucina and a group of soldiers holding water.

This time, the first batch of 5,000 civilians who had installed the water valve opened the water valve and let it go for nearly 40 minutes, and the water flow gradually decreased and slowly stopped. As a result, the amount of water converted and stored in the tower is quite astonishing, without having to calculate exactly.

An atmosphere of success envelops each one. The area covered by the water valve in the lower town cheered and the horn sounded to signify the end of the trial. The first water supply test was successfully completed. The results were quite satisfactory.

Xu Zheng walked outside the house, looking at the blue and white water towers standing tall, listening to the blows one after another, and a feeling of pride rose in his heart. He finally used what he had learned to do a great thing for the people of Cheng'an.

Before that. Although he also brewed fine wine for the imperial capital, he also recorded the method and handed it over to the brewers such as Lao Tiejia to brew it by themselves. At the same time, snacks have also developed in the imperial capital, and the life of the people in the imperial capital has become more adequate and pleasant. But these things are dispensable, and if you have them, you will of course be more beautiful, and if you don't have them, you won't affect anything. Unlike water, which is a necessity of life. After the completion of the water tower and the tap water supply system, the living difficulties of the people in the imperial capital can be fundamentally solved, which is a truly proud feat.

Forrester also paced out, looking at the blue-green glow above the water tower and the joyful swirling magic circle. Silent for a long time. The water tower, standing tall, with an inverted umbrella-shaped shape attached to the straight column below. Like a giant blue-and-white mushroom, it has a wonderful beauty. At first glance, it is completely different from the construction style of the entire imperial capital, and when you look at it twice, you will feel that it is like a unique style of jewelry, embellished on the antique imperial capital, highlighting the scenery of the imperial capital. Become a chic view.

As a senior alchemy master, there are many works in his hands, and there are many fine products. But there has never been such a big deal, let alone the materialization and living of alchemy skills, bringing benefits to the people of the imperial capital. Therefore, Forrester praised Xu Zheng for surpassing himself in some aspect of alchemy, which is not an empty word to praise Xu Zheng, it is indeed a real fact. Looking at this water tower, Forrester has secretly decided to let Xu Zheng boldly let go of his creation in the future, looking forward to seeing the wild ideas in his mind turn into reality, so that everyone can truly experience the benefits.

Before Xu Zheng could sigh at the excitement of seeing the tap water connected, he turned around and saw that the ministers of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Public Security and Joint Defense, and the Ministry of Agriculture were already standing in a row behind him.

Dirk and Xu Zheng were the most familiar, looked at Xu Zheng with a smile, and said, "Is His Royal Highness the Second Prince free?"

"Huh?" Xu Zheng looked at the four people behind him, and several of them all had begging expressions on their faces.

Dirk said: "The experiment was successful, this thing is so easy to use! The more than one million gold coins we spent are a lot of value." Now, please ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince and us to sum up the total, this water tower, I'm afraid we will have to build a few more. ”

Xu Zheng said in a sneering voice: "Don't you need to discuss with Your Majesty?"

The Ministry of Agriculture's temper attacked, and said directly: "The function of the water tower, everyone sees and hears it, and they are not busy asking His Majesty for approval, we will discuss it with you first." ”

Xu Zheng looked at the Minister of Finance and said blankly: "What's the matter with the Ministry of Finance again?"

The Minister of Finance is a big fat man, with a big belly and a raw face, squinting at two small eyes that are shining and grinning: "Of course it is about the Ministry of Finance." The first water tower was privately owned, and I didn't have a foot in it. In the future, the Ministry of Finance will intervene in every water tower, of course, it must be counted as a national building, and every penny spent will have to go through the hands of the Ministry of Finance. Be sure to come and teach when you have time. Hey, hey, Xiaochen doesn't have any other hobbies, but he's more enthusiastic about things like making money and how to spend it. Amazing hobby, isn't it?"

Looking at the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Joint Prevention and Security, these two, one is in charge of the country's grain planting value, the other is in charge of the country's fire prevention and security, all of them are large water users, they all rubbed their hands, and looked at Xu Zheng's eyes with enthusiasm, like the passion of an eighteen-year-old young man who was in the spring when he looked at the girl, and Xu Zheng's heart was furious, and he almost thought that he had become a meat and bone that everyone robbed.

His heart was hairy, and he was a little bigger, Xu Zheng wanted to slip away. As soon as the front foot was raised, he was already grabbed by Dane, squinted at him, and said, "Where do you want to go?"

"Uh...... Withdraw urine. Xu Zheng said with a dry smile. "Why are you just looking for me? Mr. Forrester was involved in the whole process and knew everything. Bruce, too, why are you staring at me so closely?"

Dane slapped Xu Zheng on the door of his head angrily, and scolded with a smile: "Don't look for which one you are looking for?" You know everything best, hand over the drawings to me, water towers, magic arrays, and even pipes and valves are indispensable! You kid is not good at this, you are really lazy, you are enthusiastic about everything, and you want to be lazy when your enthusiasm is burned. Don't slip away, follow me back to the palace!" Turning his head to look at Lucina, he said with a smile: "Mrs. Bandry, I'm really sorry, I borrowed Xu Zheng." ”

Lucina bowed on her knees, covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to tell me, just arrest me." Besides, he's not your son yet, so you can use it however you want. Remember to put it back when you run out, you like him, and I love him very much, I wish I could see it every day. ”

Dane laughed out loud, because Lucina was Xu Zheng's elder and didn't see her as an ordinary civilian. After thanking Lucina, Dane pulled Xu Zheng's collar and turned around with a group of ministers, rushing back to the palace as fast as possible, and urgently holding a round table to discuss the next water tower.

Xu Zheng was grabbed by the collar by Dane, with a crying and laughing expression on his face, his eyes were full of beads and bones as he watched Lucina turn straight, and was pulled by Dane so much that he staggered back. Lucina looked at him with a smile, and waved at him happily, and Quincy and Quincy looked at Xu Zheng's helpless appearance, laughing so much that they couldn't stand on their feet.

Poor Xu Zheng was treated as child laborer and was arrested again.
