A middle-aged official with a long beard said: "Be good to the city and good to the people. We should do our best to carry out errands. However, even if the demon retreats, it will come back one day. You must not plan some illusory things."
"That's right. Girl, diverting water will certainly benefit our descendants, but it is far beyond what I can do. How can we ignore the present?"
"Even though we support the girl's idea, there are demons raging outside, so it is not necessary to kill people inside."
Although the officials did not say it explicitly, they believed that Zhu Qinghong was too ambitious. After this calamity, Haocheng was already damaged. How could he take the initiative to go outside and deliver food to the monster? No matter how stupid a person is, he still cherishes his life.
The little girl has a good heart, but she is unrealistic.
Wei Xuanyu was silent.
It would be a great feat if it could be accomplished, but it is too difficult. They simply cannot achieve it.
"Since I raised the matter, of course there is a way to get it done." Zhu Qinghong said calmly, "Su Rui."
"Okay, sister." Su Rui took a step forward with a smile, looked at the ministers and said, "Haicheng has taken refuge in sister, and I will protect it. Please make arrangements to build a pavilion in the middle of the city. When it is completed,
, is the day when you are no longer afraid of demons."
The officials looked at each other, confused.
A younger official said: "Can you please tell me in detail?"
"I will know by then." Su Rui looked at Wei Xuanyu, "If you want the fields to be protected, you can also build pavilions."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Zhu Qinghong smiled: "There is no rush to divert water, you can take your time."
She just mentioned it to them in advance so that they could be mentally prepared. It was imperative to dig river channels to divert water, and she would not allow anyone to hold back.
Zhu Qinghong stood up and left, giving them time to discuss. After returning to the room, she passed a map to Yuan You.
The route for digging the river channel is marked on it, allowing him to prepare in advance. After the matters in Haocheng are dealt with, channel construction and canal digging can be carried out at the same time.
Main hall.
Officials were busy discussing.
"Disregarding human life for the sake of merit is simply nonsense."
"Military advisor, what does a little girl like her know? If she really pushes the people out to die, how can we have the face to survive in this world."
"There's no need to be so disgusted. Let's build the pavilion as they say first and see what's going on."
"I agree. If she has the ability to protect our city, it doesn't matter if she trusts her once."
Everyone has the same idea, stop with silence.
Once the pavilion is built and we know what they want to do, it won’t be too late to talk about anything else.
Building a pavilion is not a problem for Haicheng, a city with many craftsmen, and it is not a big deal.
Wei Xuanyu nodded: "Let's do it first."
All officials should step down.
They all exited and went to work.
Wei Xuanyu thought over and over again and ordered people to build a pavilion in the field. He and Su Rui discussed with each other and decided to build a stone platform half a person's height.
The table is concave with a semicircle and the size is fixed.
Zhu Qinghong originally wanted Fang Youan to start clearing the road leading to the river. He was the only one to kill the demons. Although the speed was slower, at least there was progress.
Su Rui took the time to send the storage device there, so it wouldn't hinder anything. After asking, I found out that they were busy paving the way there.
When the two cities opened trade, in order to facilitate the movement of cars and horses, the roads were smoothed. The potholes were filled in, the mounds of soil blocking the road were shoveled, and some small stones were placed.
When it comes to building roads, Zhu Qinghong clicks on the panel to check. In ancient times, if you wanted to build smooth roads, you usually used bricks or slabs.
Is there a brick-making place in Haocheng?
Zhu Qinghong opened the map of Haocheng and searched for brick-burning kilns. There were quite a few.
[Master, why don’t you teach them how to make cement? Ono can help appropriately.]
"I haven't learned to walk yet, so I'm just thinking about running." Zhu Qinghong smiled, "Let's not talk about whether there are raw materials for making cement nearby. Scientific and technological development also needs to be done step by step. Let's wait until the water is brought in and the raw materials are found before we consider cement. Now
When you are in the country, do as the Romans do."
It is not practical to use bricks and slabs to build roads in the wild. Mature soil is the best. Once the passages of several cities are completed, we will explain it.
There are still many things to do next.
Divert water, build bridges, pave roads, and expand the cultivated land area of Tianchong City. After the water is diverted, ducks and geese can be raised, and fish can also be considered. Zhu Qinghong sighed, just thinking about it, he felt that he would be very busy in the future.
Half a month later, Haocheng was restored.
The pavilions in the city and outside the city were built exactly as Su Rui said.
Zhu Qinghong did not show up.
Su Rui personally placed the storage device on the stone platform in the pavilion, and instantly transparent protection enveloped the entire city.
Everyone looked up in disbelief, unable to conceal their excitement. Wei Xuanyu raised her hands to Su Rui: "Thank you, Miss Su."
"So, do you still think that sister's proposal to divert water is not good?" She smiled slightly, "Do you know what to do?"
The officials bowed their heads and saluted, their hearts surging.
Who doesn’t want to do something big in life?
They risked their lives!
Everyone sat together in the main hall again to discuss diversion of water. Determine the route, dig canals, and build bridges.
As expected, the officials are all outstanding, and they can tell where is suitable for building a bridge just from the map. However, the river never passes through the city, so there are different opinions.
"It's better for large tributaries to go outside the city. If we want water to enter the city, we can just dig smaller tributaries. There is no need for the river to pass through the city."
"Indeed. We must consider the safety of the people when the water rises. Furthermore, when passing through the city, we need to re-plan the city."
"Why bother? Choose a low-lying place in the city to dig a river channel. Even if the water rises, it won't be a big deal."
"Yes. And our city originally had a river. After repairing it, it can be used again without having to mobilize troops."
The officials quarreled fiercely, each insisting on their own ideas. After several years of drought, the water volume of Haocheng's rivers dropped seriously.
In order to ensure their continued survival, they had to divert the river into cultivated land. Zhu Qinghong rested his chin on his hand, no wonder there was a stream there.
According to its source, the creek is also a tributary of the large river that crosses the Demonic Forest.
For some unknown reason, the amount of water decreases every year.
She can still solve the problem halfway. If the problem is in the forest of demons, there is nothing she can do to help right now.
After arguing and arguing, no conclusion was reached.
Officials with two ideas competed with each other and went back to write various plans and draw construction drawings.
In terms of cost, it is better to use existing river channels.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The cultivated land in Kehaocheng is somewhat far away from the previous river.
If the water in the creek dries up, there may be a problem of changing the river course again. Passing outside the city can lead directly to the farmland. From the other side of the farmland, go to Lingxi Country.
As a result, the abandoned river channels are very redundant. How to deal with them becomes a problem.
The plans submitted by both sides have their own merits. It is difficult to tell who is better.
After reading it, Zhu Qinghong said: "How about using them together?"
"Use them together?" The officials were stunned.
It suddenly dawned on me.
"Yes, we can also use them together."
After the water is diverted, it branches, one inside the city and one outside the city.
Irrigation outside the city is used daily by people in the city.
The abandoned river channel has been put into use, but there are still many places that need to be repaired. The route map for digging the channel has been revised, split into two and then passing through Haicheng, and then merged into one after leaving the city.
The plan for digging ditches in Haocheng was thus decided.
However, the three cities of Lingxi Kingdom are still on hold, so there is a high probability that there will be another quarrel.
"Second Young Master Wei, please arrange a team of people to follow us to Tianchong City in two days." Zhu Qinghong stood up and said, "We have useful people."
After saying that, she left.
Su Rui, follow up.
Officials are happy to discuss the implementation of the plan and are full of hope for the future.
"Everyone, who wants to go to Tianchong City with me?" Wei Xuanyu asked with a smile.
If no one volunteers, he has no choice but to appoint.
You can hear a needle drop instantly in the room.
It’s not that the officials don’t want to go.
That's it.
There was no protection on the way there.
Since the demon was exterminated that day, no new demons have been seen for several days. However, in the past two days, I have occasionally seen a few demons wandering around, and I wonder if they will gather in large numbers again.
How dare they run away under such circumstances?
They are powerless.
Seeing the smile on Wei Xuanyu's face slowly disappear, the officials felt bad.
The military advisor will most likely appoint a candidate.
"Actually, it's not impossible to go. Although Tianchong City is good now, hearing is false and seeing is believing."
"Yes. It would be good to go and have a look. Mr. Tian and Mr. Zhou, I think you two are a good match."
"What..." Mr. Tian and Mr. Zhou blew their beards and stared. What do you mean they are suitable? How are they suitable?
"That's right, it's very suitable. Mr. Tian and Mr. Zhou are very talented, so they will be of great use here."
"I feel ashamed. I don't dare to steal the good opportunity from these two adults. I will change the picture and take the first step."
The other officials made their own excuses to leave.
Master Tian and Master Zhou can't even shout.
Soon, they were the only two left.
Wei Xuanyu smiled and stepped forward to hold their hands: "Master Tian and Master Zhou are really role models for our generation, and they will definitely achieve great things."
The two of them were beaten and couldn't say no.
Now that things have come to this, they can only smile and be modest.
After leaving the city lord's palace, the two of them approached their colleagues and scolded them happily. Seeing that they were about to leave, the other officials were very consoling.
Mr. Tian and Mr. Zhou didn't accept this trick and kept scolding each other. These people are really worse than each other.
Zhu Qinghong laughed at the farce and shook his head helplessly. Su Rui drank milk tea and watched the projection: "I don't know what they are afraid of."
"The city has been besieged by demons for many years. How can I not be afraid?" Zhu Qinghong turned off the screen, "After you go back, you and Fang You'an first get the passage out. Just after a big battle, the demons did not recover so quickly. You can relax a lot.
."
Su Rui nodded: "I have sent a message to Gao Chen. The officials in charge of the construction of the river are already on the way to Tianchong City."
"Three cities are really difficult to deal with." Zhu Qinghong clicked on the map of the three cities of Lingxi Kingdom.
From the picture, it seems that it is more convenient to walk the river from outside the city. But the specific method of walking depends on the professionals. Go back to Tianchong City and let the officials from the two cities argue.
As for Tianchong City, she decided to go outside the city from the beginning. Crossing the cultivated fields to get to Haicheng, and considering the increase in cultivated land area, it may also be necessary to branch off the tributaries.
The direction of the tributaries depends on the location of the farmland, so Zhu Qinghong has to think carefully about the best way.
Ono listed several possibilities.
She compared them one by one and it seemed that every one of them was good.
Seeing that Zhu Qinghong was not satisfied, Ono showed new drawings. The range of cultivated land changed and the tributaries changed.
She looked around and found it difficult to make a decision.
Let the officials take a look when we get back.
Choose one that is bigger than the other two. Maybe they will give her some inspiration when they quarrel.
