The Divine Doctor and the Crazy Concubine: My princess is very cool
Chapter 27 Countermeasures
"Bei Yunchen, do you have any ideas?"
"Not yet. The most difficult issue right now is the food problem. I can't think of anything else for now."
"Give me the map of the water diversion project we originally planned for Lijia Town!"
Bei Yunchen took out the original large map and handed it to her. Shangguan Qingge spread it out and actually found a way!
"I have an idea! Come here!"
She just stretched out her hand and landed on a place on the big map.
"This place, Xingluo Village, I remember we passed by here when we returned to Beijing. Along the way, I remember that the river in Heping County had a forked stream that flowed through here. Xingluo Village is about fifty miles away from the capital. Although the fork in the river is a small stream, there is water flowing into it."
"You mean, bring water from Xingluo Village?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean! If we divert the water to the moat, the capital will no longer be short of water."
"No, the moat is about two meters wide, and the water from the river flows all the way to the sea. If we rely on a small stream like this, the people in the capital will die of lack of water before the moat is full."
"Let's use the old method. Block the river downstream of the moat! Store water!"
"It won't work! It's useless to just rely on trees to block the water. The water will still flow out. The speed of water coming in can't keep up with the speed of water flowing out!"
"Use cement and bricks!"
“What is cement?”
Shangguan Qingge forgot that there was no cement in ancient times. Cement is a modern product. Damn!
"Cement is... a kind of mud. When it solidifies in water, it can be as hard as stone. If the quality of cement is good, even a normal flood can't wash it away!"
"How do I find this thing?"
Oh no, she really doesn’t have this thing. With the production technology of this era, it is impossible to make cement!
"Don't worry about the details! Let's talk about the other things first!"
"Well, go on!"
"You see, the terrain outside the capital is vast. In this place, we can build simple houses for the refugees to live in. At least we can provide them with a sheltered environment. We can recruit doctors from the city and station them here to treat the people. The crowd is so dense. If someone gets sick, it will spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people. It will develop into an uncontrollable epidemic. We must nip it in the bud! As for how to get the doctors to come, that's your business. I will provide you with food for the people! As for how to build a dam downstream of the moat, let me think about it!"
"Everything you said can be done. The only problem is the water source! The water stored in the city can last for about half a month! If it doesn't rain, the number of people who will die of starvation and drought will be in the tens of thousands!"
"Ok, I know!"
After saying that, Shangguan Qingge picked up a pen and drew a design of the house on paper. She designed it according to the style of modern greenhouses. It was simple and crude. She only needed to nail pillars into the soil, surround it with bamboo boards, and then build a thatched shed on top.
"Here, there are about a hundred people living in a shed, and each person's bed is two feet apart. How many houses should be built within that distance? Have someone calculate it!"
Bei Yunchen took the drawings and told Yun Tong to do it!
"I need three empty rooms as food storage rooms, and water tanks for you to store water!"
"I have already ordered people to clean up the rooms around the study. There are five of them! There is no need to prepare a water tank. The well in the palace doesn't have a channel dug to connect it to the moat, so we can use it to store water!"
Bei Yunchen's preparations were quite complete. Originally, Shangguan Qingge had no plan to release water into the well because most of the wells in the city were connected to the moat at the bottom. If water was released into them, the water would all flow into the moat, which would be a waste of time and effort!
"Who else is in this small courtyard?"
"Ming Cheng!"
Bei Yunchen just shouted, and the guard named Mingcheng appeared in front of them. Damn, how did he appear? Was it a ninjutsu?
"Fuck, you...you...where did you come from?"
"My lady, I am always here to protect the prince."
"Awesome! Dong'er!"
"Miss!"
It's a pity that Dong'er doesn't know any ninjutsu, so he pushed the door open and came in. In comparison, he was indeed a bit disappointing!
"Are there only four of us here?"
"Miss, there are indeed only four of us in the prince's academy now. The prince said that no one needs to disturb us, so I dismissed the others!" Ming Cheng replied respectfully!
Shangguan Qingge took out a water pipe from his sleeve and handed it to Bei Yunchen. This action really stunned Bei Yunchen and Mingcheng. How did he take this thing out?
"What are you standing there for? Take it and put it in the well. Tell me when you're done. I need to drain the water. Dong'er, Mingcheng, you two will be responsible for moving the food into the room!"
Bei Yunchen took the thumb-thick water pipe and went to the well in the yard. He threw the water pipe into the well, found a stone to hold it down, and returned to the study.
Shangguan Qingge saw that the water pipe had been put in place and said!
"Bei Yunchen, we are now in the same boat. This matter cannot be known to outsiders, including you two. Do you understand? If it gets out, I will shoot you with a gun."
"Don't worry, I am not the kind of person who likes to get involved in trouble. This matter will not be spread outside the palace!"
"Okay, let's get started!"
Shangguan Qingge reached in and turned on the faucet! Then she took out the food from it. This operation made Bei Yunchen and Mingcheng stare with wide eyes. Miss Shangguan is really a god. If she is not a fairy, who can do this? Mingcheng was already full of admiration.
Shangguan Qingge kept taking out food from her sleeves, Mingcheng and Dong'er kept moving food, and everyone was busy, except Bei Yunchen. After all, he was a prince, so he didn't need to do such hard work. Shangguan Qingge was very unhappy about this, but what could she say? And logically speaking, he was still a wounded soldier and couldn't do heavy work!
In two hours, all five rooms were filled with food, including rice, flour, vegetables, etc. The water in the palace's well was also full. Mingcheng and Dong'er were so tired that they sat down on the ground, and Shangguan Qingge was so tired that he couldn't lift his arms.
Shangguan Qingge was furious when she saw Bei Yunchen, who was the most idle person at the side.
"Bei Yunchen, if you're okay, come over and give me a shoulder massage. My hands are about to break!"
Bei Yunchen frowned and saw that Dong'er and Mingcheng beside him had collapsed on the ground. He stood up, put his hands on Shangguan Qingge's shoulders and massaged her shoulders.
"Oh, yes, yes, right here, use a little more force!" Shangguan Qingge looked like he was enjoying it. It felt great to be served by someone!
Ming Cheng opened his mouth in surprise. He must have seen it wrong! The master could actually massage someone's shoulders!!!
It was already noon when they finished their work. Shangguan Qingge and the other person had lunch at the palace before returning. Unfortunately, they met someone they didn't want to see when they returned!
