Chapter 56: Hot Spring Irrigation

Xie Lanzhou was a little surprised, no matter how merciful his father was, this was not a trivial matter to use power for personal gain, and to store grain privately, so it was just like that.

"Zhao Shangshu, I said straight to the point. The reason why he stayed here for a long time and didn't go back was because he wanted to pull down all the corrupt officials in the imperial court, but now he is struggling. ”

Xie Lanzhou sighed as he spoke, this is not easy to say.

"Your Majesty, your concerns are right, there are indeed many corrupt officials led by Yu Shen now, but it is not easy to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and now the imperial examination is still a few months away, and we have no suitable candidate to fill it."

Zhao Shuaibing knew a lot, secretly colluded with Yu Shen, and secretly hid food together, but Yu Shen took the lead.

The so-called gun shot the first bird, and Yu Shen, as the leader, was naturally the one who was punished.

"So I called you here today to ask you to help me secretly collect the list and evidence of corrupt officials, and I will have my own way when the time is right."

Jiang Mingshan on the side was stunned when he heard this, he was already a rough person, and he entered the officialdom by chance, as if he was still a big official, but he never thought that this water was so deep.

The slightest mistake has already entered the game.

"The minister understands that he must do his best."

Xie Lanzhou nodded after hearing this.

There was room for alleviation of the disaster, and Jia Yan asked the emperor to request the hot spring planting.

"Is there really hot spring water under the sky?"

It was the first time the emperor had heard of it, and he was suddenly surprised.

"The minister was also shocked, it was a girl who opened a rouge shop in Shaoyang County who found me and told me this method."

Jia Yan did not hide it, and told all the events of the day, and the emperor was overjoyed after hearing it.

If there is a way to irrigate the seedlings in winter, then there will be no need to worry about running out of food and not having to worry about the unsatisfactory autumn harvest.

"Well, then, according to what you say, call on the people to find out if there is such warm spring water near their homes, and reward everything they find."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Yan hurried to do it, he was a good official who wanted to do things for the people, and the emperor could naturally see it.

After a few days of investigation, it was found that most of the outlets were distributed in several counties near Huacheng Village, and after Jia Yan got the news, he rushed to Shaoyang to ask Yu Jiaozhi for help in thinking of ideas.

"Now that all these water sources are distributed in one place, how can this huge country all get this spring?"

Jia Yan thought about it in the mansion for a long time without any result, and decided to come and ask Yu Yaozhi.

Xie Lanzhou was also on the side, but he had Yu Yaozhi's disguise technique, so naturally he couldn't see it.

"Why don't you build a city for this kind of water?"

Xie Lanzhou thought for a while and said.

"Who is this?"

Jia Yan noticed Xie Lanzhou on the side, this disguise technique is really good, Xie Lanzhou couldn't help but be complacent.

If Jia Yan knew that the Holy Lord was standing in front of him, I am afraid that he would have lost his soul in fear by now.

"This is my husband, adults don't have to see outside."

Yu Yaozhi said with a smile, Jia Yan nodded and said with a smile:

"I see, it's really a talented woman. It is not easy to build a city with water supply, and many conditions must be met. ”

Yu Yaozhi naturally knew what Jia Yan meant, as a science bully who went to school, how could it be difficult to get this knowledge by himself.

"I understand what adults mean, if the terrain is high, it is easy to cause water shortage in drought, and the low terrain is likely to cause flooding when it rains heavily, but this Shaoyang County is undoubtedly the best choice."

This also depends on local conditions, and it is not necessary for every city to have a suitable site, and it is not necessary for every city to have sufficient water resources. In order to ensure that the people have water, canals will be built to divert water, and there are corresponding protective measures, such as building dams and waterproofing.

Yu Yaozhi thought like this, and Jia Yan nodded after hearing it.

"That being the case, then choose this Shaoyang County, but it takes a lot of financial resources and manpower to dig a ditch."

He sighed as he spoke.

Yes, Yu Miaozhi thought in his heart, there are no tractors in this era, and it is purely up to the people to dig by hand, where can the hoe in his hand compare to the four-wheeled tractor.

In ancient times, tens of thousands of migrant workers used hoes and shovels to dig, wheelbarrows to carry soil, and flat poles to transport soil.

It's a big job.

"My lord, dare to ask if it is all manpower to dig ditches nowadays?"

"That's nature, it's all a hoe."

Yu Miaozhi thought of using oxen to plow the land, and the picture of the textbook when she was a child appeared in her mind.

Since there were no tractors in this era, it would be good to save a little more effort.

"What about cows? Donkeys can too. ”

Jia Yan thought about it after hearing this, and then spoke.

"People use oxen when they farm the land, but they really haven't used it to dig this ditch."

Suddenly, the mouth suddenly opened, somehow, every time she finished talking to this Yu Yaozhi, she seemed to have a lot of inspiration, as if she could think of anything.

This is also the reason why he came to Shaoyang County today to find Yu Yaozhi.

Yu Miaozhi remembered that it was late autumn now, and it was the season of the autumn wind, why couldn't he take advantage of this wind? After all, modern wind power has long been ubiquitous.

In ancient times, there was no power generation, but if you use the power of the wind, you can save a lot of effort when digging in the ground, and the key is to find the right direction.

"You can use not only cows, but also wind."

"How?"

Jia Yan suddenly became interested, and Xie Lanzhou on the side was even more so.

After all, no one has thought about it.

"You can modify the wheelbarrow a little bit, install something like a hoe underneath, and then hang a wind banner on the car and dig in the direction of the wind, which can save a lot of effort."

Yu Yaozhi said his thoughts, thinking that he could communicate with Jiang Mingshan to see if he could make such a tool, and he could save a lot of effort.

"Master Jiang who is looking for the armory to build a model first, see how effective it is, and if the effect is good, it will be manufactured in batches, and the result will be twice the result with half the effort."

At this time, Jiang Mingshan sneezed, and always felt that he was going to be busy again.

"Very good! That's great! ”

Jia Yan was very happy, he didn't expect so many problems to be solved by Yu Yaozhi, it was really shocking, a girl actually had such knowledge.

Xie Lanzhou is the same, quietly looking at his sweetheart on the side, smart and clever, really every good is taken up.

"With the strength of the good wind, send me to the clouds."

Yu Yaozhi suddenly thought of this sentence in Cao Xueqin's "Linjiang Immortal Willow Catkins" in the Qing Dynasty, which means that with the help of the power of the wind, I will help me climb the nine clouds.

She felt that this matter was very appropriate, so she blurted out it with interest.

Xie Lanzhou and Jia Yan were stunned for a moment, and then praised her.
