Duke Anguo raised a question: "The biggest difficulty at present is the manpower to dig the ditch. Where do we need to find manpower to dig the ditch as soon as possible within a certain period of time?"

"We need a lot of manpower. Also, are there still some disaster victims in Xingyao Prefecture who haven't been rescued yet?"

"This is something our people also need to confirm. If it is, we must provide timely assistance."

Cheng Ying and the others listened to Prime Minister Li and Duke Anguo's back-and-forth discussion about the initial results, which made them quite satisfied.

The wisdom of the ancients is indeed not to be underestimated. It is quite remarkable that they could come up with this idea without any tools.

All they had were some pictures. In any case, since they had come up with a solution, they would do their best to help them.

While they were discussing back and forth, Cheng Ying and the others also quietly discussed some solutions.

The final result is that they plan to use a two-pronged approach!

Just as the Emperor and several ministers were still worrying about the lack of manpower, Ye Jinxuan spoke up.

"Father, your son and I, along with our fellow disciples, have discussed it and we can offer some assistance."

Ye Shengtang couldn't help but ask curiously, "For example, in which aspect?"

Ye Jinxuan said confidently, "Aren't you worried about not having enough manpower to dig ditches?"

"We have an excavator here that can quickly clear ditches."

Ye Jinxuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, we can also take a two-pronged approach."

Prime Minister Li asked anxiously, "May I ask Your Highness, what does 'using two methods simultaneously' mean?"

"Doesn't this picture show a section of the riverbed that has changed due to the terrain, which is the root cause of this flood?"

“A few of us can go over there and use our abilities to change the landscape. We can continue digging ditches here, while we go over there to do this.”

"This is what we came up with: a two-pronged approach, working on both sides simultaneously, which will maximize the smooth flow of the overflowing water into the river channel."

The emperor, Prime Minister Li, Duke Anguo, and the four Grand Secretaries were all both pleased and worried!

Duke Anguo spoke first, "This journey is very dangerous. Are you children really up to it?"

Shi Mobai comforted him, saying, "Father, you, your uncles, and the Emperor can all rest assured. Others may not know, but you do, don't you?"

"Don't forget, my ability is to control water. Wherever there is water, that's when my ability is at its peak."

"Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince has earth-based and wood-based abilities, and if all else fails, there is Prince Rui's ice-based ability."

"Please rest assured, elders. With our capabilities, as long as we get close to that deformed riverbed, we will have a way to restore it."

In the end, Emperor Ye Shengtang had no choice but to compromise, as it concerned whether the river water in that area could safely and smoothly recede back into its course.

Having made his decision, Emperor Ye Shengtang didn't waste any more words. He immediately instructed Prime Minister Li and the Duke of Anguo:

"You must immediately arrange for a ship to be sent to Xingyao Mansion."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ye Jinxuan and his group also headed outside. They needed to provide cover for Cheng Ying to retrieve the excavator and some useful vehicles, and they also needed to find a suitable place.

However, once they got outside, there weren't many suitable hiding places, so in order not to cause panic among the people...

Ye Jinxuan slapped the ground, and a spacious area was enclosed by tall earthen walls.

Then Cheng Ying quickly moved three excavators and two dump trucks out of the space. Fortunately, during the excavation process, the excavators worked together to transport a large amount of soil to a distant location.

Because these are unmodified, they must be powered by diesel fuel.

To save time, Cheng Ying gave one of the driving robots a space button filled with diesel fuel.

This way, you can use it whenever you need it, as long as you run out of diesel fuel.

They also produced some reinforced concrete pipes. These reinforced concrete pipes have high strength and good durability, making them very suitable for this type of high-intensity drainage project.

There are also some T-junctions, four-way junctions, and additional infrastructure to prevent pipe deformation.

Cheng Ying looked at the reinforced concrete pipes and, because they were too heavy, brought out a large crane to be used when lowering the pipes.

After arranging everything, Ye Jinxuan removed the earthen walls.

After the earthen wall was removed, leaving the robot to watch the car, they prepared to return to the house. At this moment, Shi Mobai asked:

"Senior sister, since we're going to work on the terrain of the riverbed, why bother digging ditches?"

Cheng Ying explained to him, "The purpose of digging ditches is to prevent water from flowing back into the riverbed when the water level does not drop."
