Chapter 55: The Barrage (Part 3)
It's strange to say, after supporting Di Renjie, Ji Xuan's two humerus ministers actually greeted each other at the same time.
"Wu Ju has seen Master Di!"
"General Wu, Di is polite!"
Perhaps because of the talent mining system, Wu Ju and Di Renjie did not feel the slightest strangeness, but seemed to have known each other for a long time.
"Huaiying, you first appease the people back to the city, and then I will wait for a trip to the Wei River!"
received an SSS-level Di Renjie who was both civil and military, Ji Xuan's mood was very good, but the drought still had not been resolved, so he could only seek another way.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Di Renjie bowed down to receive the order, and then began to support the people one by one.
These people were all young and old in Dijia Village, many of whom knew each other, and it didn't take long for them to return to the city with expectant eyes.
In the end, only Ji Xuan, Wu Ju and Di Renjie were left on the official road, as well as seven or eight guards.
"Huaiying, in the future, the big and small matters in the imperial city will be handed over to you!"
Looking at Di Renjie, Ji Xuan said again.
As an SSS-level talent, Di Renjie is definitely the prime minister's material, and it just so happens that there is no Wenchen in the imperial city, who can plug this gap.
This is only temporary, and when Uncle Kong Fang arrives, he will be able to share some of it for him!
Of course, it is far from enough to govern a country by relying only on Di Renjie and Kong Fangshu, and a large number of civil servants are also needed, but unfortunately there are no suitable talents now, so we can only slow down.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After becoming Ji Xuan's diehard loyalist, Di Renjie didn't say a word, and bowed down to receive the order.
"Let's go!"
Ji Xuan nodded, turned the horse's head, and then identified the direction, and a small group of people went to the foot of Qishan Mountain.
Fortunately, Shen Hou and Yu Shifu didn't see this scene, otherwise they would have been surprised.
Not to mention anything else, just Chong Ji Xuan and other three eighth-level martial arts can make them unable to return to their senses for a long time.
A month ago, Youwang was still a waste that could no longer be wasted, but now, he already has top-level combat power.
That's not all, three months later, Wu Ju and Di Renjie will be trained to become the peak of ninth-level martial artists, which is the most terrifying.
You must know that there is only one ninth-level martial artist in the hands of Father Yu Shi now!
Moreover, Ji Xuan also has Wei Zhongxian, the peak of a seventh-level martial artist, in his hands, and he will also grow into an eighth-level martial artist in the future
Unconsciously, Ji Xuan's top-level combat power is no longer inferior to Shen Hou and Yu Shifu, of course, in terms of the army, it is far from being able to wrestle with them!
On both sides of the conversation, Ji Xuan and the others rode fast horses, and arrived at the bank of the Wei River in less than an hour, opposite the towering foothills of Qishan Mountain.
"Your Majesty, the minister once thought about introducing the water of the Wei River into the vicinity of the imperial city, but the Wei River is turbulent, and the river ditch is deep, more than ten zhang lower than the imperial city, and it is really difficult to drain it!"
Looking at the surging and roaring river, Di Renjie shook his head and sighed.
The Wei River has existed for I don't know how many years, and both sides of the river are that kind of stone banks, even if the river is not in a hurry, it is a big project to dig a ditch.
After Di Renjie finished speaking, there was silence again, he really had no choice.
After half a pillar of incense, looking at one river bay after another, Ji Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up,
"Wu Ju, go find some rattan and stones!"
"It's... Yes, Your Majesty, come with me!"
Wu Ju didn't know what His Majesty was going to do, but he still took the order and left.
With a stick of incense, Wu Ju brought a large bundle of rattan with the thickness of his arm and some broken stones.
"Weave these rattan into a Lou basket, the mouth should be high and deep!"
Ji Xuan ordered.
"Your Majesty, ...... this"
Not to mention Wu Ju this time, even Di Renjie on the side was confused.
Could it be that His Majesty wants to weave a basket to catch fish?
Want to use the fish from the river as food for the people?
"Try it first, and if so, I'll explain it to you!"
Ji Xuan said that, and began to point.
It wasn't until after the three incense sticks that Lou Kuang, who was more than three people tall, was completely completed.
"Put these rocks in there, fill them up!"
Ji Xuan pulled the basket and felt very strong, so he ordered again.
Another half-pillar of incense, a Lou basket stone pillar filled with broken stone appeared in front of everyone.
"Go into the river and try it!"
After checking again, Ji Xuan's eyes had a hint of expectation.
"Poof!"
The stone pillars that were more than three people high rolled into the Wei River under the impetus of Wu Ju, splashing huge waves.
Although the Wei River is turbulent, this stone pillar was not washed away after entering the water, but successfully remained at the bottom of the river.
Come to think of it, the three-person tall stone pillar is comparable to a boulder, and even the water of the river may not be able to wash it away!
"The good field is saved!"
Seeing this, Ji Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
It turned out that looking at the surging river, when he was at a loss, Ji Xuan actually thought of a master on the earth,
His name is Li Bing, and he was also a bigwig in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the famous Dujiangyan was designed and built by him.
Ji Xuan's idea is very simple,
Since the water level of the Wei River is low, then build a barrage dam,
As a result, the water level has also risen, and the river will no longer be as turbulent as before, and it can be easily led to the vicinity of the capital.
Using Lou baskets to load stones to intercept the flow is the method that Li Bing used when he built Dujiangyan, and now it seems to be feasible.
"I see, I see, Your Majesty is wise... Why didn't this Fa Chen think of it? It's really stupid!"
I have to say that Di Renjie is Di Renjie, just throwing a Lou basket into the river, he understood Ji Xuan's thoughts.
"Ahem, cough, can you give it to the old man...... Speaking it also makes the old man happy!"
Wu Ju was watching from the sidelines, and finally couldn't help it, so he quietly stabbed Di Renjie.
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing this, Ji Xuan couldn't help laughing, and after glancing at Di Renjie, he laughed.
Not to mention that Ji Xuan's side has already found a solution.
Speaking of Longxi City, Father Yu Shi stood under an altar in an imperial robe, and held a ceremony to worship the sky three times and nine times.
On the high platform, there were four or five men in Taoist robes holding whisks in their hands, chanting words in their mouths, and their expressions were very religious.
The whole ceremony lasted for two hours before it stopped, but Father Yushi's face became more and more ugly.
"What about the rain? Didn't you say that it would rain after the sacrifice?
Then, he went straight to the high platform!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's atonement"
Seeing that Father Yu Shi was angry, several Taoists were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
In fact, in addition to fear, several people scolded their mothers more.
Now there is a great drought everywhere, if it was to ask for rain to work, the other vassal states would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now
They were forced to go on stage to catch ducks on the shelves!
"Father, father, good news, good news!"
Here, just as Father Yu Shi drew his sword and planned to persecute a few Taoist priests, Yu Wen hurriedly came to the bottom of the altar with a look.
"What's the good news?"
Father Yu frowned and turned around.
I became the king of Zhou You
