Chapter 168 Repairing the dam

Chapter 168 Building the Dam

Otherwise, a natural or man-made disaster will happen casually, and it will be useless no matter how smart the emperor is.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, except for the five years of Zhenguan, there was no year of stability!

Nearly 20 cases of floods alone have been recorded!

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, the Yellow River directly flooded more than 30 states and counties.

The eleventh year of Zhenguan, four years later, was even more serious!

The valley water overflowed into Luoyang, and the water was four feet deep!

Nineteen palaces and temples were destroyed!

There are six hundred houses in Luoshui!

The Yellow River overflowed and destroyed the homes of countless people in the Tang Dynasty, leaving them homeless and homeless!

That's not all. In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there were countless similar disasters!

Drought, frost, locust plague, plague, plague, earthquake...

Although there were countless disasters in the Tang Dynasty, they also proved Li Shimin's ability from the side!

Not only do they have to face so many disasters every year, but they also have to conquer cities and territories everywhere, and yet they actually created a prosperous Tang Dynasty like this!

Really, if it weren't for historical records, even Su Chen wouldn't have believed that Li Er could be so awesome!

Therefore, Su Chen often thought to himself, if there were no such natural disasters, the Tang Dynasty would be several levels more powerful, and could even dominate the world!

Now that he has traveled through time, he naturally wants to solve all these problems!

He wanted to see how much faster Datang's development could be without these shackles!

Therefore, Su Chen must cure the flood this time and give Datang a stable environment for development!

And his method of repairing the dam this time is indeed not difficult, because he has solutions for all kinds of infrastructure materials.

However, this is not an ordinary big project, it is completely different from building a Soviet road.

With his own strength, even if he threw all his belongings into it, it wouldn't be enough to pay the wages of so many people.

Therefore, once such a large-scale project is launched, spending money will definitely not work. Instead, labor can be mobilized through the government.

In this way, it will inevitably attract the attention of the government.

If Li Er discovers it again by then, the consequences will be disastrous!

And this is the biggest problem Su Chen currently faces.

For a while, Su Chen couldn't think of any particularly good solution. He could only put it down first, complete the design of the dam drawing, and then think about countermeasures.

Half an hour later.

"Brother Su Chen, do you think this is okay?"

Princess Changle followed Su Chen's request and drew all the drawings he drew.

Su Chen looked at it carefully several times and looked happy.

“Clear and clear, very good!”

Princess Changle asked curiously: "Brother Su Chen, after the dam is built, can it really block the water of the entire Yellow River as you said?"

"Of course!"

Su Chen looked at these drawings and said confidently: "Even if hundreds of years pass, there will be no problems with my dam!"

Although the technology of this era is a little behind, the skills of the craftsmen are still good.

With his design sketches and the use of reinforced concrete, the dam created will be not only as strong as later generations, but at least 70 to 80% stronger!

While the two were talking, a low snore suddenly came from the study.

Hearing the sound, Su Chen turned around and smiled immediately.

It turned out that the little Sizi was too bored and fell asleep directly on the sofa, with a line of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"Let's go, we're done with the business, let's go to the back mountain and see how my newly built house looks like!"

With that said, he held Princess Changle in one hand and little Sizi in the other and walked out of the study.

"A newly built house in the back hill?"

Si Zi said in a daze: "Brother Su, are you talking about the house with walls made of colored glaze?"

"good."

Su Chen nodded and said: "It was just completed not long ago, and I haven't lived there yet."

"You two happened to be here, let's get up and take a look."

After a while, the three of them arrived at their destination.

After seeing this house, Princess Sizi of Changle was immediately shocked.

The exterior of this house is actually made of colored glaze!

It was approaching noon at this time, and the sunlight shone along the glazed wall into the hall, and the halo was flowing, making it particularly gorgeous and charming.

Directly opposite this room is a stream slowly flowing down from the mountain, surrounded by carefully tended bamboo forests and flowers.

The scenery here is no less beautiful than the house in Yizhou, each has its own characteristics!

"So beautiful!"

With a cheer, Xiao Sizi ran in first!

Inside the house, Su Chen specially designed several sofa beds for reading and basking in the sun every morning. It couldn't be more comfortable!

The two sisters who had lived in the palace for a long time had never seen this before, and they were having a great time playing it after a while!

In the valley, bursts of laughter like silver bells echoed. Princess Changle held Si Zi with her left hand and held up her trousers with her right hand. She was playing in the stream with her bare white and delicate feet.

Su Chen stood in the distance and watched for a while, feeling a little lost in thought.

He suddenly felt that it was necessary to find time to have a good talk with Lao Li!

Although he is a little embarrassed to take action due to his age, he can be taken home and raised slowly!

It would be bad if one day Lao Li gets confused and marries such a good girl!

After playing for a while, the three of them returned to the house to rest.

Si Zi raised his little head and asked: "Brother Su, the sun is so bright outside, why is it not hot at all inside?"

Su Chen smiled, then walked to the wall, lifted up the cover of the bamboo raft near the wall, and said, "Because I have specially left a groove below, and the water is stored in it."

"When the weather is hot, turn it into ice and the room will naturally be cooler."

"In winter, if we bring in the hot springs, the house will not be cold."

The water tank next to the wall is divided into two layers, inside and outside, separated by colored glass, and the big piece of ice inside is exuding a bit of cold air.

Princess Changle looked over and asked curiously: "Brother Su Chen, the weather is so hot now, how did the water turn into ice?"

Su Chen took out a bag from the cabinet, handed it to Princess Changle, and said, "Just pour it into the sink outside."

Hearing this, Princess Changle followed Su Chen's instructions and poured the powder in the small bag into the sink.

After a while, two exclamations rang out, and everyone, one large and one small, covered their mouths in disbelief!

After pouring the powder into the outer tank, most of the ice cubes in the inner tank that had melted quickly froze again!

The water really turns to ice!

"Brother Su, what is this powder?" Sizi asked, holding Su Chen's hand.

"This is saltpeter powder." Su Chen said with a smile.

Saltpeter is still very common in this era.
