The three of them finally understood why King Song was sneaking into Xingqing Hall and whispering into His Majesty's ear.
What left the trio even more depressed was that King Song was speaking the truth. Ten thousand cutlasses a day.
The speed at which he dug the well was frightening.
Even though the water was shallow and the soil was soft, it was still much faster than digging by humans.
Furthermore, the deeper they dug, the better the drilling method was.
"I wonder if we can make it in time." Zhang Shuo was the youngest among them, so he was more anxious.
"It's too late." Lu Huaishen told him the truth.
Yao Chong nodded, "Li Yi is serious this time. The good places in the Shu Lands must have been occupied by His Majesty's men. It's not a bad thing. His Majesty has money, so he has to use it in times of trouble. "
"The problem is that I still don't understand how to dig the well. The mouth of the well is so thick. Can it be done by drilling?"
Zhang Shuo was no different from an idiot when it came to drilling.
He wanted to know how to extract the soil from the well.
Lu Huaishen and Yao Chong were the same as him. They didn't understand.
And the more they didn't understand, the more they were afraid of that young man.
Zhang Shuo didn't want to think about the technique. He said, "His Majesty has benefited too much. The officials should advise him against it."
"Daoji, don't think about it. It's impossible. Today, Li Yi has officially made his move. He won't leave any loopholes for you. Otherwise, he would have a comprehensive plan. Do you believe me?"
Lu Huaishen liked to deal with small matters. He valued the details the most.
He could feel that Li Yi wasn't willing to do his best. It was as if he was hesitating and didn't care.
When it came to digging the well, King Song ran back and forth. Every time he ran back and forth, His Majesty's attitude would change.
This meant that Li Yi was following up and paying attention to the details. He realized that Li Yi would never do anything twice. He would always solve it in one go.
He would answer whatever you asked. It was very simple.
He didn't ask for anything. It was as if he was chatting casually. Especially when he was eating, he was so relaxed.
Even when others bullied him, he would still return the favor.
This time, Li Yi had been following them. Thinking about the benefits of the well salt in the Shu Lands.
In that case, would Li Yi give others a chance?
When a person who could solve the problem with just one move made consecutive moves, who could go against it?
"I can't accept it!" Zhang Shuo told the truth.
As the Prime Minister, he had no idea what was going on. Before he could react, the dust had settled.
Yao Chong rubbed his temples. "If two armies were to fight, and one side was Li Yi, the enemy would have already lost. I haven't even seen him yet, but his power has already been formed. "
Yao Chong also understood that the situation could not be reversed. Since the other party dared to expose the secret, naturally, the situation could not be changed.
At this moment, he realized that he was somewhat glad. He was glad that Li Yi had appeared as His Majesty's younger brother.
His Majesty didn't want to lose Brother Yi and gain a capable minister. Therefore, no one in the court would come and replace him directly.
So he said to the two of them, "We must protect His Majesty's appreciation of talent."
The so-called protection was that everyone helped to keep the secret. They couldn't let Li Yi know who his eldest brother, third brother, and other brothers were.
Let him continue to be Zhuangzi's Dongzhu. If His Majesty wanted to go, then go.
"Do you want to do something to Zhuangzi from other aspects?" Zhang Shuo looked at Yao Chong.
Without waiting for Yao Chong to speak, Lu Huaishen interjected, "This old man won't participate. This old man's house is still under repair. If this old man touches it and the news spreads, how will the world see this old man? This old man won't bear the infamy of eternity. "
Lu Huaishen withdrew. He didn't want to play with them anymore. At the same time, he took out a card, a Celestial World membership card. He flashed it and then put it away.
"Forget it." Yao Chong compromised. He also had a card. What was the matter with the card's benefits? Did it need to be said?
"Sure enough, the mouth of the one who eats is short, and the hand that takes is soft." Zhang Shuo lowered his head.
He gave all the benefits that should be given, including food and benefits. What did the other party say?
When dealing with the other party, did he think about the consequences if the matter was exposed?
The commoners outside watched, and His Majesty above watched.
After communicating with each other and comforting themselves, the three of them looked at the pressure well together.
It was time to eat, but there were still people pressing and pressing there.
When the water flowed to the ground, it first created a hole due to the drop. Then, it started to meander into the distance according to the terrain.
The commoners found that there were many people here and came to watch the show. They saw such a big windmill that was the size of a house.
The onlookers kept asking. Some of the Alliance's craftsmen couldn't keep it a secret and explained it, but they didn't say it clearly.
The commoners, however, knew that the pressure well was directly drilled out. There was no need to dig.
"Is this the method given by Li Dongzhu of the Baishui River?" A commoner asked directly.
The other onlookers nodded one after another, expressing the same question.
"Why do you have to talk about him?" A young craftsman felt a psychological blow and asked gloomily.
"Talk about you? I know you are the apprentice of the Wang Si family, the eldest disciple. Your mortise and tenon work is not bad, but can you make this? "
The commoners didn't give him face and directly pointed out his identity and strength. They also questioned him.
"Little Seven, time to eat." Craftsman Wang Si was at the side and said to his eldest disciple.
"Wang Si, say something. Is this something that Li Family Zhuangzi took out?" Someone didn't agree and asked Wang Si.
"Yes, Li Dongzhu's skills are outstanding." Wang Si had nothing to hide and admitted it.
"See, I told you. Only Li Dongzhu is willing to take out such a good method for everyone to use. Unfortunately, my family doesn't have a daughter." The person who said that before spoke up once more.
"What's the point of having a bunch of daughters? The news of Pyong Kang Square has spread. Xinyan and the others all ran to Zhuangzi. "
"Do you think Li Dongzhu can handle it alone?"
"He is young and strong."
"One change a day!"
"If it was me …"
"You guys continue speaking. Be careful that someone tells Li Dongzhu that Li Dongzhu is angry. Haha!"
"It's already noon. In the blink of an eye, let's eat."
"Isn't that right? I was so focused on looking at the well that I didn't even hear my stomach growling."
"There is a new method of digging wells. My second uncle's village is not far away. I heard him say that the well water is getting deeper and deeper. He wants to dig a new well. How can he find someone to dig it for him?"
"I didn't say anything. It has nothing to do with me."
"I did say that I was joking. Li Dongzhu will definitely not bicker with me."
In an instant, the people who wanted to make up stories about Li Yi dispersed.
"It's time to eat. What should we do?" Lu Huaishen asked his two colleagues.
Recently, he had been taking care of his health. In the morning, he drank goat's milk, ate eggs, steamed buns, and pickled vegetables with celery leaves.
He ate until he was 60% full. Now he was hungry.
Yao Chong looked at the group of people dispersing and said: "This method is really good for dealing with drought. Drilling deeper is faster than digging.
I just don't know what to do in winter. The weather is cold, the water is frozen, and the soil is also frozen. Will the bamboo tube be crushed?
No, the place that can be frozen can be replaced with iron. The frozen soil and the exposed part will be fine. "
Yao Chong was now thinking about the people's livelihood. He was just sad that he could not subdue Li Yi. At the same time, he wanted to have the final say in the imperial court.
He still attached great importance to the people's livelihood. This was also mentioned by Li Yi and Li Longji.
Today, he understood that the new well drilling technique was most useful in dry areas with low groundwater levels.
