Chapter 772: Celebration Excitement
PS: There was a bug in yesterday's article, the pipe cannot be pumped out after the pipe is pumped underground, otherwise there will still be soil and rock blocking the iron pipe when the pipe is re-piped, which will affect the pumping! Yesterday, I specifically asked the old man about the construction of the pressurized water well, and it is true. Directly drill the foundation well, and then go down the cement pipe, using cement that can seep water, forming a water storage space, and then closing it and installing a pumping device.
This is limited to the matter of time, directly looking for underground water storage space, this is a bit exaggerated, hehe!
If you have never experienced water shortage, you will never know the preciousness of water. In Jiang Xingchen's previous life, the first of the four joys in life was joy, which was the nectar of a long drought. Therefore, when they saw Shi Wazi, they shouted excitedly and burst into tears, Jiang Xingchen understood very well in his heart.
However, everyone was cheering, but Jiang Xingchen was not, there were more things to come, just watering the farmland with a pressurized water well was simply a cannibalistic dream.
In the previous life, the drought was alleviated with a water pump, and that amount of water was sufficient. At this stage, the world has not yet researched a power device, so Jiang Xingchen's idea is to replace machinery with a lot of labor. One pressurized water well is not enough, so I use 10 or 20 wells, and at the same time pump up the groundwater in the storage space, which is about the same as the amount of water produced by a water pump.
In addition, the Duan family had to be called immediately to quickly connect this place to the irrigation ditch.
When everyone heard Jiang Xingchen's follow-up work, they all suppressed the excitement in their hearts and started working.
Next, the whole Qingshan Village was in motion, and the blacksmith workshop was the busiest, they were the most onerous of all the tasks. It is necessary not only to make pumping devices, but also to produce a large number of iron pipes. As a result, the workshop is almost around the clock. The craftsmen work in two shifts.
The night shift is fine, and the temperature drops and feels better. But the day shift couldn't stand it, and the sun was scorching. There was a big furnace guarding it, and it tasted like hell.
At this time, Jiang Xingchen's already successful temperature control pressure array came in handy, and a large amount of ice was sent to the blacksmith to cool them down.
Grandpa Fu was stunned when he saw it, there was definitely not so much ice stored in the ice cellar, where did all this ice come from......
The blacksmith workshop was busy, but the most tired were Zhao Danqing, Mo Hongxian, and the second brother. Catwoman is a master. On the day the well came out, Jiang Xingchen drew another twenty points in that depression, and the one in charge of punching the hole was the little cat girl.
Watching the thick iron pipes driven into the ground, Jiang Xingchen sighed, the world with high force is beneficial, this is a human-shaped drilling machine.
By the next day, 20 pressurized water wells had been installed, as had the cement reservoir and tank built by Duan's family, as well as the simple access to the irrigation canal.
Twenty pressurized water wells worked at the same time. A large amount of clear water is pumped out, and a small river flows like a small river to the fields.
"Boom~" This time is the real cheer, Shi Wazi and they laughed loudly, tears in their eyes. Then a group of people pounced on the water tank. Splash cold water on your face and ......
The busyness continues, and Jiang Xingchen has not been idle in the past two days. As the formation became more and more proficient, the speed of exploring the underground was quite fast. In two days, he rode a crab through the area where the star is now developed. Unsurprisingly, last year's floods plentied shallow water underground. In the short period of drought, only surface water evaporated, and the impact on groundwater was not significant, so he easily found more than 100 underground water storage spaces and marked the locations for the holes.
The masters of the three mercenary groups of Iron Sword, Bauhinia, and Shocking were punching holes in a row, and they were all almost tired, Zhao Danqing saw Jiang Xingchen and said, "After the drought, we must give him a good compensation!"
Catwoman is the highest cultivator of all people, and she is also the hardest-working, if nothing else, for her precious bees. A few days ago she was going crazy when she saw the flowers withering, but now she is very happy to be able to get water for irrigation, and she does not feel hard at all.
The orcs were also overjoyed, they were in charge of raising the livestock, but looking at the gradually withering yellow land, they were so anxious, now that they were all right...... Watching the herds of cattle run to the canal to drink, the orcs all laughed from ear to ear.
When Xingchen led the surrounding villages and towns to hear that Jiang Xingchen had found water, they all ran over, and they were all stunned when they saw the scene of twenty pressurized water wells pumping water out at the same time.
followed them like crazy and ran to the lord's mansion to find Jiang Xingchen. As long as the Star Leader can leak something out of them, their fields will live, after all, the number of their fields is far from comparable to the Star Leader.
Jiang Xingchen was an old acquaintance with the lords of several villages, and he gave them one shop per person.
When these people asked for a share of water, Jiang Xingchen agreed without hesitation. But there is a condition, they need to contribute.
Pressurized water requires a lot of labor, and Jiang Xingchen needs at least three people to take turns to work in a well. The 2,000 wells in that territory cost at least 6,000 people, which made Jiang Xingchen feel that manpower was tight and insufficient. Now that these lords have come to find it, they have solved a problem for Jiang Xingchen. These villagers, plus some grazing orcs, should have enough manpower.
Of course, these lords will not refuse, now water is more important than anything else, isn't it just manpower, no problem.
After the lords left happily, Jiang Xingchen immediately wrote to Wang Shuangyang and the Emperor, telling them to speed up production, especially iron pipes. These two grain-producing regions are much larger than Xingchen Ling, and Xingchen Ling has opened 2,000 pressurized water wells. It is estimated that there will be no more than 20,000 people in these two places.
In addition, he also reminded the emperor that they should mobilize more masters, and the higher the cultivation, the better.
After sending out the letter, Jiang Xingchen did not delay and set off immediately! It was already 33 June, and there were only 40 days until the end of July, and during these 40 days, he not only had to rush to various places, but also had to find water storage space for shallow underground water, mark the location of the holes, and guide the installation of pressurized water wells.
Originally, Mei'er still thought that her brother would wait for two days, and as long as the old man left Liujushu Island on the ocean side, he would be liberated, and he could fly back by ribs, which was the work of these two days.
However, Jiang Xingchen couldn't wait, now he had to fight for every minute and second, and the time was too short.
Jiang Xingchen insisted, and Mei'er could only agree. However, he sent out both crabs and pink, and he had to keep his brother safe. Now I don't know how many people in the world are staring at him.
Jiang Xingchen's first stop was the three leaders in the east, and their relationship has always been good. These days, the three lords have also come to visit more than once before, asking for help.
The day before yesterday, the stars led the water, and the three lords who had been paying attention to the star leaders knew the news for the first time, and they were immediately ecstatic. Jiang Xingchen really found a way, which made them feel at ease.
Today, Jiang Xingchen has not yet left the territory of the Star Domain, and the lords of the three eastern domains have already run over to greet him.
However, Jiang Xingchen didn't have time to be polite to them, so he directly told them that he would mark the location of the well around the cultivated land in their territory, and let them contact Mei'er directly for the rest.
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the three lords to react. Jiang Xingchen rode away on the crab.
The three lords were stunned for a while, leaving one to return to chase Jiang Xingchen, while the other two went to the city hall of Xingchen Lord......
And at this time, the emperor and Wang Shuangyang, who received Jiang Xingchen's letter, laughed so much that the corners of their mouths were almost reaching their ears, and after waiting for so many days, this kid finally solved the problem.
In the imperial capital palace, the Emperor Qiankun read the letter in his hand over and over again, and kept saying yes.
"Father, it seems that we have made the right bet!" the second prince looked at the emperor so happy. A heart was also put down. You must know that the idea of looking for Jiang Xingchen was his idea, and at that time, the Xingchen Territory was also in drought, and Jiang Xingchen also did not have any solution. If the problem can't be solved in the end, the emperor won't be angry. The impression of him in my heart will also be detracted.
It can be said that he is also gambling this time, betting that Jiang Xingchen can solve the problem. Then his status in the emperor's heart will be improved more and more, and he will gradually replace the status of the great prince.
Now Jiang Xingchen really lives up to expectations. The problem of drought was successfully solved. I can be considered to have achieved my goal... To tell the truth, the emperor expressed his joy in this way. He's really rare.
"I really can't imagine that Jiang Xingchen can use this method to bring up groundwater...... It's really amazing!" The Emperor sighed, then suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, have you finished sorting out the secret vault books?"
"Uh!" The second prince twitched out of the corner of his eye, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and the piles of white silk like mountains in the secret vault appeared in his mind again, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
"Also...... Not yet!" replied the second prince.
"It's not finished yet, who let you come out!" Jiang Xingchen has solved the problem, and will immediately ask to go to the secret vault, you still have time to run around, hurry up and let me go and continue to sort it out!" the emperor lowered his face and said loudly.
The second prince's tears of grievance were about to fall, and he roared wildly in his heart: "Dad, can I come here casually? Who else let me come out, can I come if you don't call me......
Thinking of those messy white silks, the second prince really didn't want to continue to do this work, and hesitated and said: "Father, we have to step up the production of iron pipes and water diversion devices now, and we have to arrange masters, and we have to ......."
"These things have nothing to do with you, you just go and sort out the secret vault classics! Remember, don't let Jiang Xingchen see what you shouldn't see, otherwise I'll ask you!" the emperor said, flicking his sleeves and turning to leave.
The second prince was stunned for a long time, and wailed loudly: "Jiang Xingchen, I hate you to death......"
At the same time, Wang Shuangyang, led by Qi Yue, was more excited than the Great Emperor. Yes, it's exciting.
In the room, Wang Shuangyang slapped the table vigorously and shouted: "Damn, I knew that this kid could do it, he would definitely be able to do it, hahaha...... It's solved, it's finally solved!"
The people listened to the movement in the house outside, and they were all stunned. They had never seen a Grand Duke like this.
It is no wonder that Wang Shuangyang is like this, although Qi Yueling and the imperial capital are both grain producing areas, they are not the same as the imperial capital. No matter how the imperial capital is, it is also the center of the empire, and even if it is really unprofitable, there are countless industries to support it.
But Qi Yueling is different, grain is the lifeblood, and nearly half of the nobles in the territory are engaged in the grain business. Once there is a problem with food, those nobles will have to lie down at least half of it. Even he is the same, but imagine how anxious he is these days.
Now that Jiang Xingchen finally has a solution to the drought problem, it is not surprising that he is so excited.
After a while, Wang Shuangyang pulled the door and came out, and ordered loudly: "Notify me of the blacksmith's workshop, work day and night, and double the salary...... Also, hurry up and ask the commander of the Sixth Army to come!" (To be continued......)
