Chu Xuanchen said and looked at Zhang Shifan, "Sir Zhang, you have countless elite soldiers. Can you lend five thousand people to accompany me to dig ponds?"
Zhang Shifan immediately snorted coldly, "I'm sorry, my officers and men are used to protect our home and country, not to play with you! Please forgive me for not agreeing with the princess's method, and I have no one to borrow from.
I still have something to do, so I will take the first step."
After Zhang Shifan finished speaking, he waved his sleeves coldly and walked out arrogantly.
Seeing his appearance, Chu Xuanchen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his body was full of murderous intent.
"Your Majesty, the lower officials and others also took their leave first."
At this time, those officials who were colluding with Zhang Shifan also hurriedly walked out.
Su Cheng stood there, neither advancing nor retreating.
There were a few officials who stayed, and among them, Yang Shixun said: "Your Majesty, if the Princess' method... is... feasible, then I would like to... cooperate... with Your Majesty's work."
Chu Xuanchen glanced at Yang Shixun. He was surprised that this man was willing to stay.
"The lower officials are at the mercy of the prince."
The speaker was Chen Xi.
Chu Xuanchen glanced at Chen Xi lightly. This upright official Chen Xi, who was clearly in the same group as Su Cheng and Zhang Shifan, actually stayed.
It seems that he wants to get inside him, gain his trust, and find out information about him.
He pretended not to notice and said, "Okay, I have your help.
Then from now on, you go gather people and follow me to dig a pond early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the officials finished speaking, they all retreated.
Chu Xuanchen looked at Yun Ruoyue, "Yue'er, what exactly is this method of digging a pond? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
Yun Ruoyue said: "The digging of the pond is actually the digging of a reservoir. The professional name is tiao pond storage. It is a method that we only have there, but not here.
This method is very advanced and can really control floods."
"Regulating ponds?
It sounds unusual, it should be able to regulate water and store water.
I think it will definitely work."
Chu Xuanchen said.
As long as it was Yue'er's idea, he would completely believe it.
"Yes, that's what it means.
If it doesn't work, I won't dare to praise it to them.
Starting tomorrow, you have to order people to dig ponds at the tributaries of the lower reaches of the Jiajiang River. There are many tributaries in the lower reaches of the Jiajiang River. Each tributary will dig a large pond to connect the pond with the river.
The pond can store the flood coming from upstream, and it can also disperse the flood. If the flood does not pour down, it will not flood Jiangzhou."
"When the time comes, you will have to send people to build a dam next to the pond and connect the dam to the ditch.
During the flood season, when the water potential increases, the gates must be opened to release water into the river.
When it is not a flood season, we can close the gate and store rainwater in the pond. Then people can use the water in the pond to irrigate crops, raise fish and shrimp, and develop aquaculture."
After hearing this, Chu Xuanchen gave her a thumbs up, "This is really a method that has the best of both worlds. It can not only resist floods, but also irrigate crops and raise fish.
Yue'er, you are so amazing!"
Yun Ruoyue winked playfully, "Of course, who told your wife to eat more than you!"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but want to laugh, because according to modern age, she was several years older than Chu Xuanchen.
