Chapter 1821

From dusk in the afternoon, the team kept on going until they arrived at the Changhe River Basin in the afternoon of the next day.

This is a river that runs through the two states of Xiliang. It is very long, but unfortunately it only runs through the two states of Xiliang and has little effect.

On the endless river, the sun reflected and rippled in all directions, which made people feel dizzy. In addition, the sun at noon was so fierce at this moment that even the war horses stuck out their tongues and breathed in the heat.

Thousands of people stopped, and a large number of senior officials followed Zhou Jian to the river.

"Oh, what a great river, but it is in ruins. When the court becomes rich in the future, I will definitely dig a canal that runs from north to south and crosses from east to west to benefit the world!" He said to himself and sighed, the dry

His mouth and dusty face don't look like an emperor at all, but like a petty official working hard for the country.

His eyes were always looking at this long river, full of imagination. There is a saying in later generations that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

And digging a giant river is more important than building roads!

"Your Majesty, your mind is racing so fast. Before you can solve the problem of water diversion, you are thinking of digging a river." Pei Beiyin on the side smiled bitterly.

"It's not that I'm thinking about things here and there, but that Dazhou lacks too many things. If there were canals, Dazhou would be ten times richer!" Zhou Jian was extremely serious.

"Is it so exaggerated?" Pei Beiyin was shocked, and Dong Bishu and others who were accompanying him were dumbfounded.

"Of course, this means you have long hair and short knowledge, right?" Zhou Jian raised his eyebrows.

Hearing this, Pei Beiyin's pretty face darkened. Didn't he praise himself yesterday for knowing everything and being well-informed?

Humph, men are really such piss-poor! She cursed in her mind, but she still took out her handkerchief and wiped his forehead. She didn’t know when she started feeling sorry for Zhou Jian, just like she was wiping her husband.

Sweaty.

There are many things between the two that no longer need to be said.

Even people like Dong Bishu knew in their hearts that Concubine Pei was His Majesty’s woman!

"Your Majesty, you see, it took us a whole day to travel like this, not to mention that the place where water is needed is farther than Liangzhou City. All kinds of difficulties combined have made it the most difficult place to irrigate farmland."

Tian Wenli frowned: "Many people in the humble post have thought of digging trenches to divert water, but they failed!"

Zhou Jian turned around fiercely, enduring the blazing sun, and pulled Pei Beiyin into the shadow of his tall and tall body. He would definitely feel bad if her delicate white body got tanned.

This inadvertent move, but showing preference, made Pei Beiyin, a seemingly grown-up woman, deeply moved.

"How did it fail?" He also thought of this method just now.

Tian Wenli handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, the terrain here is much lower than the farmland. As the saying goes, water flows to lower places, and if a ditch is dug, the water will not be able to pass through when it reaches the middle..."

"At that time, I was stupid because of my humble position. I dug a ravine that was dozens of miles long and wasted a lot of manpower and material resources. Please forgive me." He showed an embarrassed expression, as if he was a fool.

Hearing this, Zhou Jian did not blame him, but remained silent, squinting in thought.

In later generations, water diversion relied on machines, so it could be pumped out at any time, no matter how high or low it was, but it was obviously impossible to do so in the Zhou Dynasty, as they did not have the technology.

The problem now is that the water flow does not move and the river water cannot be diverted to higher places.

When he was puzzled, Zhou Jian's eyes were suddenly attracted by a pendant on Pei Beiyin's slender neck. It was made of silver, very delicate, and looked like a four-leaf clover, shaped like a turbine.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up!
