"Alright, Wang will listen to the princess consort." As Chu Xuanchen spoke, he looked at Zhang Shifan. "Official Zhang, you have countless elite soldiers under your command. Can you lend five thousand of them to follow Wang to dig the pond?"
Zhang Shifan immediately snorted coldly. "Apologies, this official's soldiers are used to protect the country, not to play games with you! Please forgive this official for not being able to agree with the princess consort's method. This official also has no one to lend. This official still has matters to attend to, so this official will leave first. "
After Zhang Shifan finished speaking, he coldly flicked his sleeves and arrogantly walked out.
Seeing his appearance, Chu Xuanchen's eyes flashed with a biting cold light, and his body emitted a strong murderous aura.
"Your Highness, this official will also take his leave first." At this time, the officials who were in cahoots with Zhang Shifan also hurriedly walked out.
Su Cheng stood there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
There were a few officials who didn't leave. Among them, Yang Shixun said, "Your … Your Highness, if the princess consort's method … is … feasible, then this official is willing … to … to cooperate with Your Highness."
Chu Xuanchen glanced at Yang Shixun. This person was actually willing to stay, which surprised him.
"This official will also be at Your Highness's disposal." The one who spoke was Chen Xi.
Chu Xuanchen indifferently glanced at Chen Xi. This great official Chen Xi was clearly in cahoots with Su Cheng and Zhang Shifan, but he was actually willing to stay.
It seemed that he wanted to infiltrate his inner circle and gain his trust, so that he could obtain information from him.
He pretended not to notice and said, "Alright, I have your help. Then from now on, you will go and gather people. Tomorrow morning, you will follow Wang to dig the pond! "
"Yes, Your Highness." After the officials finished speaking, they all retreated.
Chu Xuanchen looked at Yun Ruoyue. "Yue 'er, what exactly is this method of digging the pond? Why hasn't Wang heard of it before?"
Yun Ruoyue said, "This method of digging the pond is actually digging a reservoir. It's called tiao reservoir. It's a method that only our country has. It's not available here. This method is very advanced and can really control the flood. "
"Transfer the reservoir? Just from the sound of it, one could tell that it was extraordinary. It should be able to control and store water. Wang thinks it will definitely work, "Chu Xuanchen said.
As long as it was a Yue'er's idea, he would believe it.
"Yes, that's what I meant. If it didn't work, I wouldn't have dared to boast to them. From tomorrow onwards, you must order people to dig ponds in the tributaries of the lower reaches of the river. There are many tributaries in the lower reaches. Dig a big pond for each tributary and connect the ponds to the river. The pond can store the flood from upstream, and it can also disperse the flood. If the flood doesn't pour down, it won't reach Jiangzhou. "
"When the time comes, you'll have to send someone to build a dam beside the pond and connect the dam to the ditch. During the flood season, when the water level increased, the sluice gate would be opened to release the water into the river. When it's not the flood season, we can close the sluice gate and store the rainwater in the pond. When the time comes, the people can use the water in the pond to irrigate the crops. They can also raise fish and shrimp and develop the aquaculture industry. "
When Chu Xuanchen heard this, he gave her a thumbs up. "This is really a way to get the best of both worlds. Not only can it resist the flood, but it can also irrigate the crops and raise fish. Yue'er, you're really amazing! "
Yun Ruoyue winked playfully. "Of course, who asked your wife to eat more than you!"
When she said this, she couldn't help but want to laugh. According to the modern age, she was several years older than Chu Xuanchen.
Could she be considered an old cow eating young grass?
"You've eaten more than this prince? Wang doesn't believe it, "Chu Xuanchen said.
