Scholars unparalleled

If it were replaced by mud accumulation, it would be washed away immediately.

"But, how do you go about digging it out?"

Lin Gu muttered to himself, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the level of chiseling the boulders. The rocks above are extremely hard, and there are still many rocks.

"Set it on fire, and pour it with water. The rocks are naturally fragile, and if you are lucky, they will burst."

"Why explode?"

Lu Chensheng looked at Lin Gu helplessly, "After the adults try it, they will naturally know."

After Lu Chensheng personally determined this place and drew some more peaks on the map, he went back together.

And Lin Gu also left in a hurry, and he wanted to gather people to start the work.

Lin Gu's side began to prepare for the start of construction, and the city lord and county magistrates in Yunmeng City also knew about it, and they all looked at each other at this moment.

"What do you guys think? The governor is a starter who needs a lot of money to control the water.

The city lord sat at the top, pondered for a moment and looked at the officials below.

"This flood control has been going back and forth so many times. I'm afraid it will return in vain. I might as well sit on the shore and watch the fire."

The county magistrate thought for a while and said something.

As soon as these words fell, the county lieutenant at the side immediately refuted.

"I'm waiting for the parents of Yunmeng City. If we don't work hard to control the water, will we be able to escape if the flood happens?

Regardless of whether the other party can do it or not, if I don't do my best, the governor will take part in it, and I'm afraid I will lose my skin if I don't die!

What's more, if the flood in the Yunjiang River is not resolved for a day, how can we be safe in our position! "

The county lieutenant is well aware of the past of Yunmeng City. In his opinion, if the flood problem is not resolved for a day, their positions will be changed all the time. Not to mention, they may be impeached and imprisoned one day.

After the county lieutenant's words fell, the other officials on the side fell silent, and then nodded helplessly.

That's right, this flood problem is a thorn in their hearts. If this matter is not resolved, they will have trouble sleeping and eating after all.

"So, I'll just do my best."

The city lord made a decision at this moment, "Except for the fact that I need to take out the silver for this flood control, and by the way, I am calling the rich merchants in the city to let them also contribute money to jointly control the flood."

Chapter 47 Breaking Mountains and Blocking 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.

Lin Yu came over to take a look, and saw that on Lu Chensheng's drawings, the scenery around Yunjiang had already been drawn.

The three-dimensional mountain peaks, as well as the water flow in the middle, are painted extremely realistically.

Compared with the map given by the governor before, the accuracy and viewing level of this map have been improved by many times.

No wonder Lu Chensheng was helpless looking at that map a few days ago.

Lin Yu looked at Lu Chensheng staring at the blueprint in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, as if he was lost in thought.

And looking at it from this angle, it looked extremely good-looking, and for a while, Lin Yu was a little crazy.

"What? The rich merchants in the city are only willing to give 100 taels of silver? And is it the total?"

Listening to the report from the city lord in front of him, the governor involuntarily doubled his voice.

The city lord looked at the governor with a somewhat ferocious expression, and secretly groaned in his heart.

"These wealthy businessmen are unwilling to pay more money, and the officials are really helpless."

The city lord's face was full of bitterness. He never thought that these wealthy businessmen would be so stingy, and they would not spend more money to deal with the flood in the Yunjiang River.

The governor jumped up in anger when he heard the words, wishing he could draw his sword and chop up all those wealthy businessmen and ransack their homes.

He just came back from outside the city just now, according to what Lu Chensheng said, he made people set fire to those boulders wantonly.

After the fire was almost ready, he picked up the water and poured it down again.

Sure enough, as Lu Chensheng said, some huge boulders cracked directly after being splashed with water, and no tools were used for this!

With such a method, how difficult is it to break the mountain and block the water?

He instantly had full confidence in Lu Chensheng's plan.

And at this moment, the person in front of him actually told him that the money in the rear might not be able to keep up?

This water control also needs manpower, and it also needs money to hire manpower!

Food and drink for so many people cost money!

The imperial court didn't give him much money, so now he can count on these wealthy businessmen.

If the water can be successfully controlled, wouldn't these wealthy businessmen also be able to earn a lot of money in the future!

The governor became more and more angry as he thought about it, and he glanced at the city lord with a gloomy face, "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 are asking!"

After finishing speaking, the governor turned around and left, leaving the city lord with a bitter expression on the spot.

Lin Gu stepped into the small courtyard, and the atmosphere in the small courtyard was extremely harmonious.

Qiongyue was reading an unknown book at the side, and Shouyue was wiping her treasure hair.

Lu Chensheng stared at the blueprint in front of him, writing and drawing.

"Lu Xiucai"

Lin Gu coughed lightly and woke up Lu Chensheng.

Damn!

Lin Yu, who had been looking at Lu Chensheng all the time, raised her head quickly at this moment, a blush appeared on her pretty face in embarrassment.

Lu Chensheng raised his head to see Lin Gu beside him, and immediately smiled.

"how?"

There was a smile on Lin Gu's face, "Lu Xiucai's method has worked. Those rocks have become extremely fragile after being roasted and watered, and they are already being excavated."

Lu Chensheng nodded, "That's good, since your lord is here, here is a copy of the engineering drawing, please let your lord have a look."

As he spoke, Lu Chensheng placed the drawing in front of the other party.

"Here is marked with the No. [-] peak below. After the mountain is broken here, the water will flow through this place if it is blocked. The adults need to find people to add huge stones between the No. [-] and No. [-] peaks to force the water to flow. diverted.

Boulders are also filled in the middle of the No. [-] and No. [-] peaks to make the water flow meander and return to the channel of the Yunjiang River.

As for the river channel that belongs to the Yunjiang River, it is necessary to build a herringbone diversion dam here, so as to force the river to diverge and play the role of flood diversion and sediment discharge. How to build the dam here is fully described.

After passing through the herringbone diversion dam, the water here will start to diverge. Based on the dynamics of the water flow curve, most of the water will flow to the outer river, so as to achieve the effect of flood diversion.

In addition, the bottom of the river needs "

Lu Chensheng explained carefully at the side, and Lin Gu listened with joy.

Shouyue turned her head to look curiously, and after listening carefully for a while, she found that she could not understand what Lu Chensheng said at all, so she stopped listening immediately.

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 his mouth was dry.

Seeing this, Lin Yu handed over tea very thoughtfully.

Lu Chensheng gulped it down, the tea flowed down the corner of his mouth, Linyu took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully for Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng came to his senses, and when he saw that it was facing the rain, he was stunned for a moment.

And this time, Lin Yu lowered his head in fright, as if he was a quail.

"Well, I understood a little bit at first, but then I couldn't understand it at all. Or, Lu Xiucai is talking about it again?"

Lin Gu looked at Lu Chensheng cautiously, and asked softly.

Lu Chensheng glanced at him speechlessly, "Forget it, anyway, you can just do what I tell you, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand the reason."

For this water control, Lu Chensheng referred to Dujiangyan and carried out water control around this.

Based on the comparison of the water potential here, Lu Chensheng felt that after making some changes, it would be possible to achieve the same effect as Dujiangyan.

Seeing that Lu Chensheng didn't intend to say more, Lin Gu could only nod his head.

Immediately, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"What's the matter? What's the problem?"

Seeing the embarrassment on the other party's face, Lu Chensheng said a little strangely.

Lin Gu sighed when he heard the words, and felt 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 without this money, how can we start construction on a large scale?

Lu Chensheng immediately smiled when he heard the words, "It's simple."

Simple?Those rich people are all worthless, how can it be said in a simple way!

Seeing Lu Chensheng's extremely confident smile, Lin Gu was stunned for a moment.

"You go back and let the city lord say that, those rich merchants will only obediently hand over the money, and there will be no less."

After speaking, Lu Chensheng explained the method again, and when the governor heard the words, his eyes suddenly lit up with joy.

This method is absolutely impossible!

"I'm going now!"

After hearing Lu Chensheng's method, Lin Gu left in a hurry. The matter of Yinzi was extremely important, so he couldn't help but not care about it.

Chapter 48 Breaking Faces with Points

Some of the basic plans on the blueprints are almost written, but after a few days, Lu Chensheng still went out several times to conduct field measurements and observations.

The fundraising operation in the city became much easier after the governor personally intervened.

Because Lu Chensheng taught him, he publicized in Yunmeng City the amount of money that several wealthy businessmen wanted to donate.

Immediately, the spittle of the common people flooded towards these wealthy businessmen.

In the eyes of the common people, these rich merchants are so rich, and now they donate some money to manage the Yunjiang River, and the other party can also benefit. Why are they so stingy?

In the next few days, the cloth stores and rice stores of these wealthy merchants were hit hard, and the common people began to protest against buying from these stores.

Then, the governor summoned these wealthy businessmen and said that when they finished their donations, they would definitely record the amount of silver they donated on the big stone tablet.

And put it in the place with the most traffic.

And, once they have children, they will be added one by one.

At that time, even if there is any scholar in their family, they will have such a credit.

The wealthy businessmen were immediately frightened when they heard such a sentence.

What credit?This is clearly a threat!

Although they are just merchants, they also think that their children and grandchildren will be able to make a head start in the future.

If the other party does this, if there is a scholar in his family in the future, his reputation will be ruined by him, and he will never want to be an official for the rest of his life!

Scholars pay great attention to reputation, how can they let such a thing happen?

In fact, generally speaking, everyone pays great attention to their reputation. Once their reputation is damaged, it will be difficult to survive here.

It's just that some merchants are extremely stingy, and this is also a strategy to prevent the other party from being unmoved.

As soon as this plan came out, these merchants were also frightened, and immediately began to donate money.

After half a day, the governor saw several large boxes being carried to the door one after another.

After a rough count, there are more than 5 taels of silver!

This immediately made the governor very happy. With so much money, he can continue to work.
