She looked up to the sky and laughed. Suddenly, she flew up!
Her Qinggong was very good. In a few moments, she had flown to the left side of the mouth of the pot. Looking at the mouth of the mountain opposite her, she suddenly threw out a palm! That palm seemed to have substance. Even they were affected by it from afar. It was obvious that it was very powerful!
The loud noise from before was heard once again!
And this time, it was even more earth-shattering than the previous one! The entire right side of the mountain that was leaning forward was blown apart and fell straight into the river. Although it was different from the dust that filled the sky just now, the power that could move mountains and fill the sea with a flick of a finger stunned everyone who saw it. It really didn't even take a blink of an eye.
They had not recovered from the previous explosion. Witnessing this scene again with their own eyes, everyone's hearts trembled. They almost wanted to bow down and worship her!
Impossible. How could there be such a powerful person in this world?
Those who were more knowledgeable had heard that if one's martial arts reached a certain level, one could hit a cow across a mountain. However, they had never heard of anyone who could break a mountain with one palm!
This was definitely not a mortal, but a deity!
Everyone involuntarily kowtowed in the direction of GongYimo. Their expressions were extremely pious. For things that they had never seen or could not explain, they easily blamed it on the deities. And all of this was within GongYimo's expectations.
She looked up to the sky and laughed three times. Her voice contained internal energy and spread far and wide!
Then, with a light tap of her toes, she once again flew to the ground and landed directly on the simple altar. Gong Che looked at her with a smile, while Gong Yi Mo's face was filled with arrogance!
She raised her arm and shouted, "I am the personal disciple of the thirteenth generation Sect Leader of Mount Yun Ding. My strength has reached perfection! I can shake mountains and break rivers! Today, I am under the mandate of the heavens to help the Crown Prince build the canal! Once the canal is built, Dai Yu State will no longer have drought and floods. Every place will have a bountiful harvest and it will be prosperous every year! For such a grand undertaking, all of you will be meritorious. So, are you willing to help me? "
Her voice was transmitted with internal energy. Every word seemed to knock on the tip of people's hearts! It made people unable to think of resisting.
Moreover, such a legendary immortal was helping the Crown Prince to build the canal. It was obvious that he was under the command of the heavens!
Besides, the construction of the canal was also done to prevent natural disasters. Their Star City also often flood control. How could they not be willing to do such a good thing for the country and the people?
Blood rushed to their heads as they shouted in unison.
"I am willing to serve the Crown Prince!"
Gong Che couldn't help but laugh. "Very good!"
Next, he turned to face the sky. Xu Yuan hurriedly served three cups of wine that he had prepared. Gong Che raised one cup to toast the heavens, another to toast the earth, and finally, he raised the last cup from afar and shouted!
"I have been ordered by the Emperor to build the canal! Today is a good day to move the earth, I pray here! He only hoped that there would be no more natural disasters in Dai Yu State! Report to the higher authorities! The Heavenly Opening Grand Canal will be opened today! "
After saying that, he downed the cup in one gulp! Behind him, the tens of thousands of people cheered loudly. The sacrificial ceremony had been completed!
The construction of the Grand Canal was in full swing. During this period, many people heard that there was a strange person by the Crown Prince's side who could move mountains and fill seas with a wave of his hand. For a time, it became a legend, and everyone wanted to see for themselves.
Not only that, this person was quick-witted and made many practical suggestions. It was because of this person that the construction of the canal progressed at a rapid pace. Some people even calculated that if they didn't care about the cost, the Grand Canal's main road to Tianting would be completed in less than three years!
As a result, many people were anxious. Letters from the capital were sent to Star City like snowflakes.
Xu Yuan and the others held the letter in a dilemma. Gong Yi Mo, on the other hand, didn't look at it again after reading the first letter. Big Yu had so many people. As long as they had sufficient financial resources, and with her help, three years? Building a main road?
She felt that it was too long.
GongYimo crumpled the letter into a ball and looked at the farmers working in full swing outside. Her eyes narrowed slightly.
Under GongYimo's advocacy, the farmers who applied for the job this time were treated very well. They were different from the previous officials who didn't treat people as humans when they were building the palace and paving the road. Therefore, GongYimo's actions received the gratitude of many people. Most of the ancient people were simple and honest. When they decided to do something, they would do their best to do it. They weren't like the people in the capital who liked to play tricks and trip people up when they saw a little benefit.
Not thinking about those troublesome people, GongYimo was more concerned about how to reduce the workload of the workers. They were currently cleaning the first section of the Yulong Inner Canal north of the Yangtze River. The riverbed here was too high, and the water wasn't deep. The flow was also very slow.
However, the cleaning process was very laborious.
Most of the tools now were made of wood. The most difficult thing to do was to clean up the silt and sand in the river. They could only use the most primitive method, which was to dig and transport. Although the water was shallow and only as high as a person's calf, this method of digging in the water was too laborious.
Countless ideas appeared in GongYimo's mind, but she rejected them all in the end …
If only … there was no water …
This idea made GongYimo's eyes light up!
She immediately gathered the geomasters, sailors, and craftsmen who were accompanying her. She also called the others to discuss her idea.
The group of people went under a simple pergola. There was only a table without chairs. On the table was a model of the road that GongYimo had made using mud.
Everyone gathered around the table. They didn't know what idea this young lady, who was rumored to be a god, had come up with.
"Does anyone have any ideas about cleaning up the Inner Canal? Feel free to suggest anything. "
GongYimo smiled. Perhaps they had better suggestions?
However, everyone only shook their heads. Only the craftsman stroked his beard and said, "We've already made the ox plow and nail rake that Miss mentioned previously. We've also made some other labor-saving tools based on Miss's' wheel and axle 'method. Perhaps they'll be useful. Miss, you can go take a look later."
GongYimo nodded. The ancients were very smart. Perhaps it was due to the limited materials, but they knew how to make the best use of things. After diligent research, they also knew how to draw inferences from one example.
"Let's not talk about the tools first. I have an idea now. Let's see if everyone agrees."
Gong Che nodded, indicating that there was no harm in her speaking.
GongYimo smiled and pointed at their current position.
"The Yulong Grand Canal's riverbed is too high, so it's heavily congested. The water in the river only flows slowly along the slope. However, it's too troublesome to work in the water because of the height of a person's leg."
"Then what do you mean?" Li Ke was very curious. What kind of fantastic idea did this princess have again?
GongYimo smiled proudly. She took out a brush, dipped it in ink, and drew dotted lines on a map that extended all the way to the capital. Her eyes lit up slightly as she pointed at the dotted lines and said, "Now, we can split into several sections to repair the canal! We'll repair small sections at a time. When the excavation or cleaning is almost done, we'll open up the connecting sections! What do you all think? "
