Chapter 47 Breaking the mountains and blocking the water
In the backyard of the inn, Lu Chensheng spread a large piece of paper on the stone table and was writing and drawing on it.
Linyu came over to take a look and saw that Lu Chensheng's drawing had already drawn the scenery around Yunjiang River.
The three-dimensional mountain peaks and the water flow in the middle are painted extremely realistically.
Compared with the map given by the governor before, the accuracy and viewing quality of this map have improved many times.
No wonder Lu Chensheng was helpless when he looked at that map a few days ago.
Linyu saw Lu Chensheng staring intently at the drawings in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, as if he was deep in thought.
But looking at it from this angle, it looked extremely beautiful. For a moment, Lin Yu was actually a little crazy.
...
"What? The wealthy merchants in the city are only willing to give out one hundred taels of silver? And that's the total?"
As the governor listened to the report from the city lord in front of him, his voice involuntarily doubled in volume.
The city lord looked at the governor who looked a bit ferocious and groaned secretly in his heart.
"These wealthy businessmen are unwilling to pay more money, so they have no choice but to lower their official positions."
The city lord had a bitter look on his face. He had never thought that these wealthy businessmen were so stingy and unwilling to spend more money to control the floods in Yunjiang River.
When the governor heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and kill all the wealthy businessmen and ransack their homes.
He just came back from outside the city. According to what Lu Chensheng said, he had people set fire to the huge rocks.
When the fire was almost done, he picked up the water and poured it down again.
Sure enough, as Lu Chensheng said, some boulders actually cracked apart after the water was splashed on them, without using tools!
With such a method, how difficult is it to cut off mountains and block water?
He instantly had full confidence in Lu Chensheng's plan.
But at this moment, the person in front of him actually told him that the money behind him might not be able to keep up?
This water control also requires manpower, and hiring the manpower also requires money!
Food and drink for so many people cost money!
The court didn't give him much money, so now he was counting on these wealthy businessmen.
If water control can be successful, wouldn't these wealthy businessmen also be able to make a lot of money in the future?
The governor became more and more angry as he thought about it, and looked at the city lord with a gloomy look, "You are responsible for this matter. As long as I see the money, I don't care about the process. If the water control is delayed because of this matter, I will take the money."
You’re asking!”
After saying that, the governor turned around and left, leaving the city lord with a bitter look on his face stunned in place.
Lin Gu stepped into the small courtyard, and the atmosphere inside the small courtyard was extremely harmonious.
Qiong Yue was holding an unknown book and looking at it, while Shou Yue was wiping her sword.
Lu Chensheng stared at the drawings in front of him, writing and drawing.
"Lu Xiucai..."
Lin Gu coughed lightly and woke up Lu Chensheng.
oops!
Linyu, who had been looking at Lu Chensheng, quickly raised his head, a blush forming on his pretty face.
Lu Chensheng raised his head and saw Lin Gu beside him, and immediately smiled.
"how?"
A smile appeared on Lin Gu's face, "Lu Xiucai's method worked. After the rocks were heated and splashed with water, they became extremely fragile. Excavation is already underway."
Lu Chensheng nodded, "That's good. Now that your Excellency is here, there is an engineering drawing here for you to take a look at."
With that said, Lu Chensheng placed the drawings in front of the other party.
"This is marked with Peak No. 1 below. After the mountain is broken here, the water will be blocked and will flow through here. You need to find people to add huge rocks between the No. 2 and No. 3 peaks to force the water flow.
Diversion.
Boulders were also filled in between peaks No. 4 and No. 5 to make the water flow meander and return to the Yunjiang River.
On the river channel that flows into the Yunjiang River, a herringbone diversion dam needs to be built here to force the river water to divert and play the role of diverting floods and discharging sand. How to build the dam here is fully described.
After passing through the herringbone diversion dam, the water here will begin to divert. Due to the flow curve dynamics, most of the water will flow to the outer river, thus achieving the flood diversion effect.
In addition, the bottom of the river needs..."
Lu Chensheng explained carefully on the side, while Lin Gu listened with joy.
Shouyue turned her head and looked over with some curiosity. After listening carefully for a moment, she realized that she could not understand what Lu Chensheng said at all, and she immediately stopped listening.
Qiong Yue stared at Lu Chensheng a few more times with bright eyes, and there was something strange in her eyes.
"So, do you understand?"
Lu Chensheng spoke for a long time, and after finally finishing speaking, he felt that his mouth was dry.
Linyu saw this and very considerately handed over the tea.
Lu Chensheng drank it down, and the tea flowed down the corner of his mouth. Linyu took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully with Lu Chensheng.
Lu Chensheng reacted and was stunned for a moment when he saw Linyu standing next to him.
And this time, Linyu was so frightened that he lowered his head, as if he were a quail.
"I understood this a little bit at first, but then I couldn't understand it at all. How about Lu Xiucai say it again?"
Lin Gu looked at Lu Chensheng cautiously and asked gently.
Lu Chensheng looked at him speechlessly after hearing this, "That's all, just do what I tell you. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the reason."
For this water control project, Lu Chensheng made reference to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System and focused on this.
Based on the comparison of the water potential here, Lu Chensheng thinks that after making some changes, it can achieve the same effect as Dujiangyan.
Seeing that Lu Chensheng had no intention of saying more, Lin Gu could only nodded.
Immediately, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Lu Chensheng said a little strangely when he saw the troubled expression on the other party's face.
Lin Gu sighed after hearing this, feeling that there was no need to hide this matter from Lu Chensheng.
Immediately, he told Lu Chensheng about the matter.
"So, if there is no money, it will be difficult to start such a huge project."
According to Lu Chensheng's request, it is best to start construction in several places at the same time. This is the most labor-saving and time-saving method, and it is also the most convenient.
But if there is no money, how can we start construction on a large scale?
Lu Chensheng smiled immediately after hearing this, "It's easy."
Simple? All those rich people have nothing to lose. How can they be called simple?
Lin Gu was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Chensheng's extremely confident smile.
"You go back and let the city lord say this. Those wealthy businessmen will just hand over the money obediently, and there will be no shortage of it."
With that said, Lu Chensheng explained the method. When the governor heard the words, his eyes suddenly lit up with joy.
This is a great idea!
"I'll go right away!"
