Chapter 40: Sent to the capital

"If irrigation is not needed, block the canal so that all the water flows into the pool. In this way, if there is a drought at some point, the water stored in the pond can be used to irrigate the farmland again. Xue Gao pointed to the pattern on the design drawings and said.

The form of the whole project is a triangular interval, and taking into account the topography, from high to low drainage, in a relatively low place, the use of digging pits or bricks to transform its topography, so that the water can flow smoothly to the place where you want to go, it seems to be very thoughtful.

Xue Gao stared at the design drawing, and didn't speak for a long time, because he didn't know what to say.

After being silent for a long time, Xue Gao finally made a decision: "Leng Yun, copy this thing, and then take my handwritten letter together, and pass it to the imperial brother as soon as possible, let him make a decision!"

Although the emperor gave him great power when he came out this time, it is more appropriate for such a project that may promote the development of agriculture across the country to the emperor's brother to make a decision.

Leng Yun responded with a "yes" and immediately went down to make arrangements.

The day after the letter was submitted, the village chief received a reply from Zhang Shan, asking him to come over for a meeting.

At the meeting, even Xue Gao appeared.

"The matter of renovating the canal you said last time has been presented to the prince, and the prince has reported this matter to the emperor, and when the emperor has made a decision, it will be decided whether to do it or not, don't worry about it for the time being. Zhang Shan opened his mouth to look at the village chief and said, "But because this matter is very important, the prince still wants to know more details so that the emperor can agree." ”

Speaking of these details, the village chief had already discussed with Jian Yun before coming.

The capital had already sent back a reply in only three to five days, and the emperor asked in the letter about the specific way to deal with it.

Xue Gao looked at the letter sent back by the emperor and Leng Yun in his hand and said: "This is emphatically mentioned, if the water enters the canal, it is easy to mix with the soil, and the second is the problem of the terrain, the court officials are worried that the terrain is not high enough or low enough to let the water flow smoothly to the place where it should go, and their worries are reasonable." ”

Jian Yun replied after listening to Xue Gao slowly say these words: "But Lord Wang, when we were in the meeting that day, didn't the village chief already tell us all these solutions one by one?"

"Therefore, this king is now going to write all these techniques in a letter and inform the royal brother. Xue Gao said as he picked up a pen and quickly wrote something on the paper.

When this very detailed plan, which did not seem to be a big problem, was sent back to the capital, the officials in the capital could not find any fault for a while.

So soon, the letter agreed by the emperor had already come down.

Xue Gao found Zhang Shan as soon as he received the letter: "Your Majesty has already replied, you can give it a try." ”

Seeing that the emperor had agreed, and explained that whatever was needed could be quickly put forward, and the court would try its best to satisfy them, a big stone in his heart could be regarded as letting go.

After all, if they can get the emperor's support, they will be much more convenient, and Zhang Shan's heart also hopes to be able to carry out this project, which is a big progress for Jianjia Village, and if it succeeds, it will be an improvement for the entire district under his jurisdiction.

Zhang Shan looked at Xue Gao gratefully and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang, the lower officials will send them a letter to inform them to come to the meeting tomorrow, and we will discuss this matter in detail, so that the construction can start as soon as possible." ”

Jian Yun stayed at home for three to five days, during which he and the village chief went to explore the upper and lower sides of the river.

"This river is the source of water for the whole village. The village chief pointed to the river.

There are also wells in the village, but there are not many people digging wells after all, so the well water is also very limited, and the villagers like to take their clothes to the river to wash, and the well water is mainly for the family to eat and drink.

"The terrain in this place is relatively lower than that of the river, and it can be used as a reservoir. Jian Yun said, pointing to a piece on the east side of the river.

This land is yellow earth, and if it is used to grow crops, it is not very useful, so it is better to make a reservoir.

The village chief nodded, but there was some disappointment in his eyes, no matter how well they planned here, what was the use, if the emperor did not agree, no matter how much the plan was, it would be in vain.

Jian Yun saw the loneliness in the village chief's eyes, she chuckled lightly, and said affirmatively: "Village chief, don't worry, if the emperor knows, Bacheng will agree." ”

Although he didn't know why Jian Yun was so sure in his heart, the village chief was also a little relieved after hearing her words.

"I hope so!" the village chief had just finished saying this, when he heard a messenger from the yamen coming over there.

"Village chief, a letter from the capital has arrived, saying that I agree with you to carry out this project, and I invite you to come over for a meeting tomorrow to discuss the specific content of this project. The messenger came over and looked at the village chief with a smile and said, he noticed that there was a young girl's house next to the village chief, presumably this was the legendary Jian Yun.

You must know that the matter of the crop reform in Jianjia Village has been spread to several surrounding villages, and even many people in the town have already known about it.

Some people are jealous, some people are envious, and some people are surprised and curious, how does Jian Yun, a young girl, know so much.

"That being said, there are a lot of details, I can't convey them accurately for you, so it's better for you to follow me tomorrow to take a look, and if there is any problem at that time, you can solve it on the spot." The village chief turned his head to look at Jian Yun and asked.

This is exactly what Jian Yun wants, and she is afraid that if she says something wrong, there will be endless troubles.

Besides, Jian Xiaoyi was studying in the school in the town, and when she went this time, she could just bring him some food so that he could study hard.

When the people of the village learned that the capital had agreed to this matter, they were all overjoyed, and they were looking forward to it when they thought that the problem they had been bothering for many years might be solved soon.

Jian Yun simply cleaned up, changed into a soft cotton clothes and put them on, his hair was also loose, he pulled it into a bun behind his head, and inserted a silver hairpin, making his whole person look much more elegant.
