A three-and-a-half-year-old max-level ancestor, mistakenly bound to a system to be de

Chapter 52 Perhaps, he had long since become a slave of a conquered nation, or perhaps he had long since died.
Soon, Sui Sui rummaged around in her little purse and pulled out a large booklet.

"Here you are, Your Majesty's nephew."

Another booklet! Looking forward to it!

Emperor Xuanhe took it, and then looked down and saw the words written on the booklet: Areas in Daqing that will be prone to flooding in the next 10 years and their best construction plans.

what!
Emperor Xuanhe's eyes widened.

Is this booklet meant to tell him where floods have occurred in Daqing in the past 10 years?
Emperor Xuanhe immediately opened the booklet with trembling hands, and upon looking at it, he found that it was indeed true.

Opening this booklet, the first page is a miniature map of Daqing, which marks the extent of flooding that could occur at a specific location and time.

Emperor Xuanhe quickly glanced through it and found that there were actually more than a dozen places!

Moreover, it was a relatively serious flood.

The most recent instance occurred in Cheng'an Prefecture in October of the 43rd year of the Xuanhe era. It rained continuously for half a month, then the dam broke, and the flood suddenly struck Cheng'an Prefecture.

It also states: This is a once-in-a-century flood that will cause significant casualties and damage.

"October of the 43rd year of Xuanhe, Liu De, what time is it now?"

Liu De's heart trembled slightly. "Your Majesty, it is now August of the 43rd year of Xuanhe!"

Emperor Xuanhe's eyes widened. So, it meant just two months from now?!

Emperor Xuanhe gasped.

This is how to do ah.

"No, I must immediately order people to repair the dam!" Looking at the words marked on the map, Emperor Xuanhe became restless.

Although building the dam requires a lot of money, the national treasury already has a million taels of silver, except for the last time when the Minister of Revenue was confiscated.

It sounds like a lot, but for an entire country, it's really a small number.

Emperor Xuanhe has been using this money wherever it's needed, making sure it's not wasted.

Now, building this dam will definitely require funding.

Otherwise, when a major flood occurs, countless people will be injured or killed, displaced, and their homes will need to be rebuilt. There may even be a plague, which would require even more money.

Of course, most importantly, the people of Daqing also lived in Cheng'an Prefecture. As the emperor, since he knew in advance that a great flood would occur in Fuqing, how could he not take precautions?

Fortunately, the booklet also included blueprints. For each place marked as prone to flooding, there was an optimal construction blueprint, which people were instructed to follow.

"Your Majesty, there's no rush." ​​Sui Sui rummaged through her small purse again and pulled out several more items, handing them to Emperor Xuanhe.

"Take a look at this one too."

Emperor Xuanhe: Is there any solution?
Emperor Xuanhe immediately took it and saw that it was a recipe.

Or perhaps we should make something called cement.

The method of making this cement is not complicated. Most importantly, it is very strong after it solidifies. It is also written on it that it is very suitable for building dams.

The more Emperor Xuanhe looked, the brighter his eyes became!
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful!" Emperor Xuanhe was overjoyed.

Overjoyed, he rushed over, picked up Sui Sui, and spun her around in mid-air. "Little Princess, do you know? With this cement, not only can a sturdy dam be built, but time and money will also be saved."

"Little Princess, what you gave me is simply a divine gift; it has helped me immensely."

When Sui Sui was first picked up like that by the emperor's nephew, she was a little stunned.

But what child doesn't like to be picked up and spun around?

After a moment of surprise, she burst into happy giggles.

Liu De, on the other hand, was terrified.

"Your Majesty, this is Princess Fuqing, your little imperial aunt."

How could you hug your elder and spin them around?
Moreover, Your Majesty, you are getting on in years. If you are not careful, your hand might give way and you might drop Princess Fuqing. What would happen then?

Only after Liu De reminded him did Emperor Xuanhe realize what was happening.

It was a little awkward. Oh right, this is the real little princess, an elder, not a real granddaughter.

Emperor Xuanhe quickly and carefully placed the little princess back on the chair. "Little princess, I'm sorry, I... I was too excited, that's why..."

Sui Sui was a magnanimous elder, and waved her hand, "Your Majesty, it's alright."

"Little Princess, do you know? This thing you brought out, called cement, is practically a divine object. With it, we won't have to worry about building the dam."

Sui Sui: I knew it, all the rewards they give are good stuff.

Every time I bring it to my nephew, the emperor, he is very happy.

After calming himself down for a while, Emperor Xuanhe picked up the other things his little aunt had given him to look at.

This look...

At first glance, it looks like a large ship.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was labeled: "New Type of All-Round Naval Combat Vessel!"
Emperor Xuanhe: !!!

The more closely Emperor Xuanhe looked, the more rapid his breathing became.

"It's a warship! It's a warship..."

Emperor Xuanhe, who was muttering to himself, suddenly had tears welling up in his eyes.

This reminded him of a battle with the State of Chen many years ago.

Daqing and Chen State are separated by a stretch of sea.

If war breaks out between the two countries, it will almost certainly take place at sea.

However, Daqing's naval combat capabilities were too poor, and of course, its warships were also very outdated.

Emperor Xuanhe will always remember that all he received at that time were reports of being repeatedly defeated by the State of Chen.

At that time, the soldiers he sent to lead the troops also all sacrificed their lives.

That night, Emperor Xuanhe had a dream.

In his dream, he arrived at that sea and saw the sea stained red with the blood of his soldiers.

No one knows how long Emperor Xuanhe silently wept when he woke up.

He knew that ultimately it was his incompetence as emperor that was the root of the problem.

At that time, the State of Chen was about to advance unimpeded, and it was only because of a sudden internal strife that the State of Chen withdrew its troops.

Otherwise, it's hard to say whether Daqing would even exist now.

Perhaps he had long since become a slave of a conquered nation, or perhaps he had long since died.

In recent years, Emperor Xuanhe had been working at the Ministry of Works to research better warships, but there had been no good news.

And now...

Seeing this new type of warship, seeing this complete guide to naval warfare.

How could Emperor Xuanhe not be excited?

Once the warships are built and the soldiers have learned how to fight at sea, we can then wage war against the State of Chen.

He always knew that Chen Guo would definitely make a comeback.

Therefore, they don't have much time left.

However, the appearance of this warship and naval warfare manual has given Emperor Xuanhe hope.

Emperor Xuanhe rose and approached Sui Sui.

With some doubt in his eyes, he respectfully bowed to Sui Sui.

"Little Princess, on behalf of myself, the people of Daqing, and the soldiers, I thank you."
