Scholars unparalleled

Originally such a steep mountain range, if relying on manpower to lift the huge boulder up the mountain range bit by bit, it would take a lot of effort, and there might be casualties.

But now this scene made Bai Yi understand that with such a method, it would save a lot of time and effort to build the city wall.

Chapter 352 Blowing Out the Water Dragon

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, people were sent to hire laborers. I heard that there was wages to be paid, and a small part of the money was taken out as an advance payment.

This attracted a lot of laborers, and the valley became more and more lively.

When you come to the valley, you can see the big men working hard to smash rocks, carry them, and open up land.

On the mountains of the valley, a raised white line can already be seen. This is a bit of the city wall that has just been filled, and it has not been completely built yet.

Lu Chensheng is currently inspecting the mountains.

In the mountains on the valley, there is just a separate road in the middle, which is somewhat like a road, following the ups and downs of the valley.

Such an appearance makes the construction work a little easier.

The weather has turned cold at the moment, standing on the mountain and the cold wind blowing, I suddenly feel a bit bit bit biting.

On the contrary, the people working on the side didn't feel this way, and they were still working in full swing.

But Lu Chensheng knew that it hadn't completely cooled down yet, and when it completely cooled down, even hard work couldn't stop the cold wind.

Lu Chensheng looked all the way, and when the people around saw Lu Chensheng, they would pause for a while, and waited until Lu Chensheng waved their hands to signal them to continue, then they would continue to work with their heads down.

After inspecting for a while and seeing that everything was fine, Lu Chensheng went down the mountain range.

"Young master, all the people who should be recruited have been recruited, and it is difficult to recruit now."

The weather is getting colder, and some people don't know what's going on here, and the New Year's close is coming soon, so they don't plan to come here.

But even so, there were as many as [-] people who came, which made Lu Chensheng quite happy.

"Well, let's put this matter aside for the time being. The matter of the river sand can't be put down yet. Let the people below work harder and continue to transport the river sand back."

If the river sand is broken, the cement will be useless.

Cement now requires a lot of manpower, and work such as crushing limestone is relatively laborious.

Therefore, Lu Chensheng arranged a lot of people there, otherwise if the cement broke, the construction would not be able to continue.

"Well, for other things like food, the price of food has started to rise recently, so the fifth day of the lunar new year decided to stop the purchase without authorization, and planned to wait for the price of food to be cheaper before buying."

Chu Wu said on the sidelines.

Lu Chensheng didn't have any opinions, it's good to make a decision on this matter on the fifth day of the lunar new year.

"Is there anything else?"

"That's all for now."

Hearing this, Chu Wu shook his head and said something.

Lu Chensheng nodded and let Chu Wu go busy, while he went to the blacksmith's shop.

Inside, there were already some forged equipment. Lu Chensheng looked at it and frowned slightly.

"These days, forging such a little?"

Hearing this, the blacksmith immediately became a little panicked.

"Shopkeeper, this thing is really not easy to forge, I must be lazy!"

Lu Chensheng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, he just felt that the progress was a bit too slow, and he wasn't blaming them.

"Is it because there are too few people?"

"If the manpower is increased, it can indeed increase the progress of the building."

Hearing the words, the blacksmith immediately responded.

Lu Chensheng nodded, and shook his head helplessly after looking at the situation here.

In fact, in Lu Chensheng's opinion, this kind of manual forging is really too slow.

If there is water forging, the speed can be increased by at least several times.

After all, forging is extremely labor-intensive, and Lu Chensheng knew it, and didn't think about blaming these blacksmiths.

It's a pity, if there is water forging, it would be great.

But now there are not many wells, and there are no rivers. Where does the water forging come from?

But it would be fine to have a steam engine, but no rubber.

Lu Chensheng thought about it, and felt a little headache. Seeing the modern forging speed, this kind of manpower is really hard to bear.

I have to find a way to increase the forging speed of this class.

Lu Chensheng was thinking on the side, suddenly a guard's face was pale, and he ran to Lu Chensheng in a hurry.

"It's not good, the person who opened the mountain and blasted the rock accidentally blew up the water dragon!"

The guard looked at Lu Chensheng with horror on his face.

Lu Chensheng was taken aback, "Shuilong?"

"Well, there is a flood in the mountains now!"

The attendant's face was full of fear, and he hurriedly reported.

When Lu Chensheng heard this, a light flashed in his mind immediately, could it be an underground river?

"Quickly, lead the way!"

Isn't this what's missing?

Lu Chensheng was overjoyed, and quickly asked the other party to lead the way.

The two ran forward in a hurry, and when they reached the valley, they put on their horses directly, and then heard a rumbling roar.

A lot of water can already be seen spreading out from the side.

"What are you making all the fuss about? Nothing, this is an underground river, where did the water dragon come from!"

Before Lu Chensheng approached, he heard a childish voice yelling, "The underground river is also the water you usually drink when you dig a well. You are not afraid of digging a well to drink water, but now you are afraid of this underground river." gone."

Lu Chensheng looked intently, and saw many people hiding in high places, looking at this scene with pale faces, probably never seen it before, the water jet spraying from the rocks, he thought it was a water dragon.

At this moment, even some people began to kneel down, praying that the water dragon would not get angry.

The person who scolded was Lu Chensheng's student, and he looked at these people with disdain.

I don't know what a pulley is, and I don't know what work is called. Now I see an underground river being dug up, and I am more happy than anyone else.

In fact, it was fine, what made him even more angry was that he actually felt that it was a taboo for his husband to ask people to dig mountains to get rocks, so Shuilong got angry at this time.

Several students were yelling again and again, so that these people stood up tremblingly at this moment, not daring to speak too much.

Lu Chensheng only stepped forward at this time, when the students at the side saw it, they hurried forward and called out, "Sir!"

"Well, that's right, I see that you all can apply what you have learned."

Lu Chensheng touched the heads of several people and nodded appreciatively.

Hearing Lu Chensheng's praise, the students immediately laughed, their faces full of joy.

Lu Chensheng turned his head again, looking at the underground river in front of him, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

In this underground river, it seems that the air pressure has been increased by several times. The water sprayed out has formed a water column, which is extremely surprising.

It's no wonder that the people on the side were a little bit uneasy after watching it.

"What are you afraid of? There is a lot of water shortage outside the Great Wall. Now that you have this water, you don't have to worry about water shortage in the future."

Lu Chensheng's face was joyful, and he comforted him, signaling everyone to be at ease.

Chapter 353 Star Seoul's First Crisis

When Lu Chensheng said this, everyone felt right after thinking about it.

There are only a few wells in the city. Recently, due to the constant use of labor and sweating too much during work, people have been arranged to carry water. I don't know how many barrels of water I drank in a day.

The consumption of water here is added to the consumption of the people in the city.

Some wells are out of supply.

Now that I have this water, I can be happy, and maybe there will be no shortage of water in the future.

"Okay, everyone will stop here today, let's go back first."

Lu Chensheng looked at the water flow, then waved his hand, and said something to the crowd.

Lu Chensheng waved at the crowd, telling them to go back to the city first.

The land in the valley is extremely spacious, but judging from the situation, it might not take long for the water to spread towards the city.

Lu Chensheng was also a little helpless. If he had known that an underground river would come out, he would have asked someone to dig a big lake out of it. In this situation, how can there be time to dig a lake?

When Lu Chensheng thought of this, he suddenly felt a bit of a headache,

"Get some explosives, and immediately start digging some small holes in the lower part of this side, and put the explosives in."

Lu Chensheng began to give instructions. When the mountain was blown up, Lu Chensheng asked people to be safe and not let the common people see it.

Now these people are not allowed to stay aside.

In fact, even Bai Yi didn't know until now that Lu Chensheng still had such a big killer in his hands.

Gu Zhifang and others at the side heard the words and immediately started to move.

"In addition, let people go back to the city, and the people in the low-lying areas will move out, and a river ditch will be dug out by the way, and then people will be sent outside the city to dig a river ditch."

Lu Chensheng thought for a while, and then hurriedly gave another order.

With such a terrain like a valley, such a big faucet has been turned on all the time. If it does not find a gap to open it, it is not impossible for the entire Xinghan City to be flooded.

When Lu Chensheng thought of this, he immediately became a little anxious.

"This, I'm afraid there are not enough manpower!"

"How could it not be enough? Those who have just returned, ask them to help together, and the people in the low-lying areas are asked to move out directly, saying that the house will help rebuild, and there will be money compensation, and the money will go to the fifth day."

Lu Chensheng hurriedly said, "Also, get Bai Yi and all her soldiers."

After speaking, Lu Chensheng waved his hand immediately, signaling the other party to do it immediately.

This is the first crisis that Xing Seoul has encountered, and it must be handled perfectly no matter what!

Hearing this, the attendant immediately turned around and went to do it.

In just a moment, Bai Yi came to Lu Chensheng, and after looking around, her pretty face changed slightly.

"what happened?"

"When digging the mountain to fetch rocks, I accidentally created the underground river."

Lu Chensheng responded when he heard the words, and didn't know whether he should laugh or cry at this time.

If this is all right, if a city that I just started was flooded by myself, then I really don't know where to cry.

"If such a water force is not guided, I'm afraid that Xinghan City will be flooded."

Bai Yifeng looked around, and then became a little anxious.

Lu Chensheng nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, so it's being dealt with urgently now."

"Emergency?"

Bai Yi was taken aback for a moment, and didn't know what Lu Chensheng meant by emergency treatment.

Gu Zhifang and others below are planting some explosives in the distance, preparing to blast a big hole.

Lu Chensheng also watched nervously, knowing that it might not be that simple.

"Stay away from the water source. When you fry it deeper, you can guide the water in at any time later. Get closer and wait for you to fry it later. The water source will be guided in."

Lu Chensheng watched from the side, and was still directing by the way, not knowing what was going on in the city.

I want to go and have a look, but judging from the current situation, I don't have enough resources.

Bai Yi was a little dazed, not knowing what Lu Chensheng was doing.
