Chapter 390
There is only about two meters above the cliff. When you reach the end of the woods, look down and an unfathomable pit is exposed in front of you, and a waterfall hangs on the stone walls of the mountains and forests opposite.
"Then it should be the part I chiseled out, right?" Leng Yingchun judged the source of the waterfall based on the direction of the cave.
"So, the water from Jincheng flowed under the cliff here and poured into the underground ditches there and then into the big pit?" Su Jingxian figured it out, "Why didn't the cliff here and merge into the big pit? He had to go around such a big circle?"
"Straight lines do not come faster than curves, and the magical craftsmanship of nature appears here!" Leng Yingchun sighed.
In order to verify their conjecture, Leng Yingchun and Su Jingxian went back and called Qin Lanqing and a group of people to pour dozens of buckets of water under the cliff, and the water penetrated under the stone wall and disappeared.
They watched the waterfall opposite from above the cliff. In about twenty minutes, the waterfall flowed down and became surging.
"The entrance is below the cliff, and the water flows around and reaches the underground river on the other side of the cave. Through the cave, it flows into the waterfall and enters the big pit." Leng Yingchun made a judgment, "Then we can dig ditches in towns around Jincheng and make drainage channels. When it rains heavily, it will attract water, and the people's houses will not be soaked in water."
Everyone thinks it makes sense.
"What should I do if those fields are in low-lying places?" Qin Lanqing asked with a puzzled heart.
"Dig more pools and ditches around the field to let the water flow around here to drain the water." Leng Yingchun had a corresponding plan in his heart, but it was just a laborious task.
"Turning all the water into this big pit is like wasting it in vain. Is there any other way to make the most of the water flow?" Su Jingxian looked at everyone.
They have no idea.
Leng Yingchun looked around. If it were modern, she could use this developed water system to build a power station to generate electricity.
Unfortunately, she is not a major in water conservancy engineering, so she cannot develop a large hydropower station.
"Yingchun, do you have any good ideas?" Su Jingxian saw Leng Yingchun fall into thinking and knew that she had an idea again.
"We can lead the underground river in the cave and extend it to other towns, but this requires every town to prepare for the support. It is really a big project and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. I don't know if the treasury can support it."
Leng Yingchun wanted to divert the water from here to the rivers in other places, and then from the next town to the next town, and use the relay method to divert the water to the north, which will enable the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
"How about we dig a big river nearby and connect the rivers of surrounding towns and transport them on water?" Su Jingxian immediately had a far-reaching plan as Leng Yingchun suggested.
"Brother Su's idea is quite beautiful. You have to nod the prince before starting work!" Leng Yingchun felt that it would not be completed in less than ten years to drive the river and ships. Many people must be requisitioned as laborers. There will definitely be disputes and I don't know how many casualties will be.
"The famine in the past few years and this flood have been a waste of money. If the court ordered the opening of the river, it would be even worse, and it would cause many people to complain, for fear that they would resist and organize an uprising and approach the capital, the court would have to send troops to suppress it. It would inevitably be a loss for both sides, and it would be more cost-effective." Qin Lanqing immediately rejected it.
"This plan can be put on hold for the time being, and then put it on when the financial resources are strong." Leng Yingchun smiled gently, which gave Su Jingxian face.
Just as they continued to watch the waterfall opposite, dark clouds slowly surged in the sky, as if it was about to rain.
"According to this trend, it may rain a few days, let's hurry up and go back!" Su Jingxian was helpless and admired the people of Jincheng for being able to adapt to the rainy season.
"Then little marquis, should we dig out a ditch that flows into the grass as soon as possible to come here?" Qin Lanqing asked back.
"Of course, Uncle Qin will make arrangements. Yingchun, let's go back quickly when the heavy rain comes." Su Jingxian didn't want Leng Yingchun to be wet in the rain.
"Uncle Qin, thank you for your hard work!" Leng Yingchun looked at Qin Lanqing
Smiled.
"I will also be rewarded if I give my efforts. After we deal with these things, you will make delicious food for us and prepare the wine, so that we can take it back to the capital." Qin Lanqing took the opportunity to ask for advice.
"No problem, we'll go to the city to prepare a big meal and wait for you to come back!" Leng Yingchun was also very happy. She wanted to move out the wine from the space, but she couldn't find the reason. She was very depressed where to buy wine.
Qin Lanqing remembered the various delicacies made by Leng Yingchun in Lishuping. He immediately raised his hand and shouted to the young man carrying the bucket, "Brothers, have you heard that? Princess Mandao will make delicious food waiting for us. Everyone should work harder and try to outline a simple channel as soon as possible. When the heavy rain comes, the people can rest assured."
"Okay!" The middle-aged men shouted, some people began to dig the soil, and the other people went to ask for help.
"These people are still very quick to move. Brother Su, the people in your Marquis' Mansion are indeed elites." Leng Yingchun stared at the busy people and couldn't help but admire.
"Of course!" Su Jingxian was very proud. "They are basically homeless children. They grew up under the nurturing of my father and are loyal to our family."
"I don't know how the people in Wanshi Pavilion are doing!" Leng Yingchun suddenly wanted to see his people.
"They must have followed your words and protected the people from Qianyao Valley." Su Jingxian grabbed Leng Yingchun's hand tightly, "You don't have to worry too much!"
"I'm not worried!" Leng Yingchun said casually, and walked leisurely towards Jincheng as Su Jingxian came down.
The heavy rain came soon, and Su Jingxian took off his robe, covered the two of them, and ran in the rain.
"Brother Su, it's raining too much, we will definitely get a drizzle!" Leng Yingchun sneezed a few times.
The hazy vision made the scene very ambiguous. Su Jingxian found a place to shelter from the rain and stopped, staring at Leng Yingchun with bright eyes, and kissed her before she could react.
The rain seemed to know what they meant, and it was getting heavier and heavier, forcing them to get close to each other and shelter from the rain.
Leng Yingchun stepped on the water on the ground, and her shoes and skirt were soaked, making it very uncomfortable.
Su Jingxian stretched out his hand to block her, looked at the scenery blocked by the rain in front of her, and a touch of sorrow hung on her face.
The mountain that Leng Yingchun leaned against was wet, and her back was wet. After sneezing several times, she joked, "If we had known we were trapped here, we would have run back to the city in one breath. Now we should have lie on my warm bed, so we would not be so embarrassed now."
"If you are so heavy rain, you will definitely get infected with the cold!" Su Jingxian looked at her in annoyance, "In my impression, you have never been sick, and you will be half a life if you get sick like this. I don't want you to be too uncomfortable."
"It's okay!" Leng Yingchun wanted to get sick and take a good rest.
"Then let's go!" Su Jingxian gritted his teeth and agreed, covering her robe on her head, and carrying her on her back to move forward in the rain.
Before they could get out of the grass, several people came to find them with umbrellas.
Su Jingxian took the umbrella, held it up, and reached out to wipe off the water stains on Leng Yingchun's face. "If I had known they would come, we would have been there to hide from the rain!"
"No one in the world knew it... Ha Qiu..." Leng Yingchun felt cold all over and his body was shaking unconsciously.
Su Jingxian observed her strangeness, gave the umbrella to the person next to her, carried Leng Yingchun and went back.
Leng Yingchun felt a split headache, her eyes were chaotic, and the water falling from the umbrella dripped on her face, which made her feel extremely painful and she fell asleep with her eyes squinted.
When they arrived at their residence, Qin Xiaoxiao supported Leng Yingsong and waited at the door with Qingyi. Seeing Leng Yingchun in a coma, she came over anxiously and shouted Leng Yingchun's name. Leng Yingchun had no reaction at all.
When he arrived in the room, Su Jingxian put Leng Yingchun down, Qingyi took the initiative to help her change her clothes, Qin Xiaoxiao asked Leng Yingsong to wait outside, and also went in to help.
Su Jingxian went to the next room to change his clothes and came over soon. They had just put on Leng Yingchun's clothes.
"Yingchun, how are you?" Su Jingxian grabbed Leng Yingchun's hand and asked anxiously. Seeing that she didn't respond, she touched her forehead. It was so hot that she thought of the way to cool down before.
"I'll cook some ginger water to attract you!" Qin Xiaoxiao took the initiative to go out.
Qingyi packed her clothes and went out.
Leng Yingsong touched the bedside and touched Leng Yingchun's hot face. He felt very distressed and murmured to himself.
"When Yingchun was a child, she was most afraid of having a fever. Every time she begged me to buy the candy person for her. If I didn't buy it for her, she would cry and shout. My parents felt very annoyed. She threw her into the woodshed and let her cry. I would go to buy the candy person. She took it over and stopped crying immediately, and she couldn't bear to eat it, so she took it in her hands, and she wouldn't want to put it down whether she was eating or sleeping."
"Yingchun has grown up and will not be as pretentious as he was when he was a child!" Su Jingxian was a little worried and cold Yingsong was chatting beside him.
"In my eyes, she will always be a child!" Leng Yingsong patted Leng Yingchun's shoulder, "Hurry up and drink a bowl of ginger water to avoid getting infected with the cold."
"I'm very healthy, it's okay!" Su Jingxian shook his head. He didn't want to leave Leng Yingchun for a moment.
"You have to take care of her tonight, drink some ginger water to prevent it." Leng Yingsong pushed Su Jingxian.
"Okay, let's take care of Yingchun!" Su Jingxian sneeze and agreed to Leng Yingsong's arrangement. When he arrived at the kitchen, Qin Xiaoxiao just boiled the ginger water. He drank a large bowl and brought the rest to Leng Yingchun.
Leng Yingchun was so groggy that she couldn't hear what they were saying.
"This is the second time Yingchun is sick." Qin Xiaoxiao recalled, "It's so serious when it comes, it's quite heartbreaking."
"Sickness is like a mountain of illness. She is busy every day, so she must be very sick." Qingyi came in and held her arms to watch the fun. "If you want me to tell me, you should let her get sick to know how important her body is."
"Bao, babe, babe, crow's mouth, spit it out before talking." Qin Xiaoxiao was unhappy.
Qingyi gently slapped her mouth, "I was wrong!"
She looked over and Leng Yingchun's lips turned purple, and she was shocked, "Is Yingchun poisoned?"
