Chapter 328 Hardship

Shen Zhou walked to the campfire with water, "This bowl is clean and has never been used."

"Oh!" Meng Manteng looked at him in surprise with thick eyebrows.

"We use stoneware bowls and wooden bowls, which are specially designed to entertain adults." Chen Zhouheng looked at him with bright and translucent eyes.

This kid is not only good at being an official but also a person. Meng Manteng held a bowl and took a few sips of water, and felt that his throat felt much more comfortable, "Wow... this water is so sweet."

"The water in Qingfeng Gorge is called sweet water by the local people, and it is worthy of it!" Chen Zhouheng tilted his head slightly and looked at him and said.

"When this canal is repaired, it will not only solve the problem of local drinking water, but also solve the irrigation." Meng Manteng looked at him with a smile on his dark eyes.

"Yes! I hope you can get it done soon." Chen Zhouheng said with a smile on his face and looked at him.

"I think your conditions are very difficult!" Meng Manteng said with his eyes straight at him. Although he couldn't see the inside of the cave, he could tell what it was like when he looked at the entrance of the cave.

It’s okay to sleep in a cave, but some of them sleep in a leeward place under this cliff. Not to mention the bed, there is only a bed board with hay. The quilt looks dilapidated, and it seems like it’s just a bed.

"Are you cold?" Meng Manteng asked at him with concern.

"Fortunately, I was burning and didn't feel cold." Chen Zhouheng looked at him with a polite look.

"Is there any difficulties? Even though I mentioned that Lord Ye said when I came, I will try my best to satisfy you." Meng Manteng said with his eyes looking straight at him.

"We can solve this problem by ourselves in life, is it this tool?" Chen Zhouheng said, looking at him with a hard head, "Along the way, the stones and rock walls on this mountain are really too consuming tools."

"I will report to you when I go back and try my best to satisfy you." Meng Manteng responded readily, holding a bowl of water and drinking it all, "Take me to see the canal you dug."

"Okay!" Chen Zhouheng stood up happily and said, "Give me the bowl." He took the empty bowl in his hand and put it back quickly.

He held a woven hat and handed it to Meng Manteng, saying, "Mr. Meng put this on."

"What is this for?" Meng Manteng took the hat and looked at the hat on his head and said, "I think everyone like you is wearing it!"

"There are many stones on the mountain. It's okay to just put a bag on the head when you hit the head, but you're afraid that it will hurt the inside, and it's not easy to cure it." Chen Zhou Heng patted his hat and said.

"Mr. Shen is very thoughtful!" Meng Manteng put his hat on his head, "It's pretty good."

Chen Zhouheng led Meng Manteng to the canal and introduced many simple devices on the canal along the way.

"Why are the wheels on this well being mounted?" Meng Manteng asked curiously.

"It's good to transport tools from the bottom of the mountain and transport the gravel down, so paving the road is also good." Chen Zhouheng smiled when he heard this.

"You are really making the best use of everything!" Meng Manteng pointed at him with a smile.

"It's a pity to throw it away. The villagers hit it with a hammer and a good stone." Chen Zhouheng looked at him with warm eyes.

Meng Manteng followed Shen Zhou into the tunnel and said in amazement, "It's actually done so far." He looked up at the tall top, "It's so high, it's not easy to dig."

"It's okay! I've done it well, I don't think it's too difficult." Chen Zhou raised his index finger and pointed his hat brim, raised his head to look at the top and said.

"What do these bamboo tubes do?" Meng Manteng pointed at the dense bamboo tubes above his head.

He knew that this wooden frame was to prevent landslides, but what is the use of this bamboo?

The Valley Emperor

"After calcining the rock, it is necessary to cool it quickly with water. These bamboo tubes are flowing water, and the amount of water is large!" Chen Zhouheng explained in detail.

"How is the effect?" Meng Manteng asked with bright eyes looking at him.

"Effect?" Chen Zhouheng looked around and said, looking at him with deep and upright eyes, "What do you think of Lord Meng?"

Meng Manteng looked at him with a funny look and said, "It's better than imagined." He praised without hesitation, "Don't worry, Lord Shen, when I go back, I will be as good as Lord Ye reported."

"Thank you, Lord Meng, for your good words." Chen Zhou clasped his fists and bowed.

"I really saw this, tell the truth." Meng Manteng looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "Let's go! Take a look inside."

The sunken boat crossed the front and led the way toward the tunnel.

"Why is this getting hotter and hotter!" Meng Manteng obviously felt the heat wave coming.

"It's burning the rock wall." Chen Zhouheng smiled when he heard this.

"I can take a look at this." Meng Manteng said with his eyes shining.

"Of course." Chen Zhouheng agreed happily.

The two walked forward, and the more they walked, the hotter it became. From a distance, they looked at the burning fire in front of them.

"Will the fire be too big?" Meng Manteng said with some concern, "will it cause a big fire?"

"How does this stone burn?" Chen Zhouheng smiled when he heard this, "After these firewood is burned, it will be extinguished by itself."

"Then it's pretty good to work like this, it won't be frozen!" Meng Manteng stopped, tilted his head slightly and said happily at him.

Chen Zhouheng smiled bitterly and said, "You will know it's not that easy after pouring water later."

"Uh..." Meng Manteng reached out to scratch his head awkwardly, but forgot the hat on his head and grabbed it directly.

"Then how will this water flow out?" Meng Manteng looked at Chen Zhouheng in surprise and asked, "It's such a cold day, isn't this water frozen?"

"Mr. Meng, let's wait patiently and demonstrate it to you later." Chen Zhouheng looked at him with gentle eyes and said gently.

"Okay, I'll wait here." Meng Manteng said with a smile when he heard this, and stopped, pointing to the bamboo pipe that was placed above his head, "Will it leak at this interface?"

"At first, I leaked, but then I cut it a little bit and wrapped it with hay, so it rarely leaked." Chen Zhou gestured with his fingers, "It was even more exaggerated when it leaked at first than it rained."

"What should I do if there is water accumulation on the ground? It's so cold that my feet can't stand it." Meng Manteng looked down at the wooden boots on his feet, "It's inconvenient to wear this!"

"At least, keep warm. If you don't wear cotton shoes, you will soon get wet." Chen Zhouheng raised his feet and smiled, "This is not afraid of water, put more cotton wool to keep warm."

"It's inconvenient to walk!" Meng Manteng raised his eyes and said, "I've also walked through it. It's so hard to walk. I will definitely not be able to bear it after a long time."

"It's okay! If you get used to it, you won't feel tired." Chen Zhouheng smiled when he heard this. At first, he was not used to it, and now he is wearing these wooden boots on the mountain road as if walking on the flat ground.

Meng Manteng looked at the man in front of him who was much smaller than him in admiration.

This proposal for digging a mountain and digging canals was made by Shen Zhouheng. The plan was detailed and feasible and impeccable.

He didn't expect Chen Zhouheng to sit in person and eat and live with the farmers.
