Nongmen's elder sister-in-law is the richest in the world

Chapter 865

When Shen Jianwan heard the words, he couldn't help asking what was going on.

"Is such that……"

King Qingfeng then told Shen Jianwan the second thing he wanted to say.

It turns out that the king of Qingfeng County is having a headache recently about digging the canal to Qiu'an Mansion. With the addition of the "crane" and other mechanical tools made by Shen Jianwan, they will be able to finish the canal excavation here in Ding'an Mansion City and enter Qiu'an Mansion. However, when the excavation reached Qiu'an Mansion, the excavation of the canal encountered problems.

To be precise, the king of Qingfeng County wanted to solve the flood problem of the Liangjiang River by digging a canal!

Ding'an Mansion and Qiu'an Mansion are actually almost two state capitals in the north and south, but Shen Jianwan and the others are a little bit further south of Ding'an Mansion, and the distance between the southernmost counties of the two mansions is only a few hundred miles away.

However, Liangjiang has a major problem in Taohua County in Qiu'an Prefecture. This problem has always existed.

That is, the Liangjiang River flows through Taohua County and passes through a very slender mountain, which blocks the water of the Liangjiang River from flowing to the Qiu'an Mansion area in the east, and then the water flows to Shen Jianwan's Ding'an Mansion on the west side of Taohua County.

But this is not a good thing, because this has caused frequent droughts in Qiu'an Mansion to the east across a mountain, and floods in Ding'an Mansion to the east.

For example, now Qiu'an mansion is much more arid than Shen Jianwan's Ding'an mansion, but whenever there is a flood in Shen Jianwan's Ding'an mansion, the area near the Liangjiang River will often be flooded, and every time the flood recedes, the sand and stones will be thousands of miles away. , the soil becomes barren every day when it is washed.

So Shen Jianwan and the others are close to the area between Fucheng and Qiu'an Mansion. These places are always in danger of flooding. Even though the imperial court strengthens the Liangjiang River every year, there will still be many places where the dikes will burst.

And this time when the canal was being dug, King Qingfeng wanted to take advantage of this to solve the major flood problem of the Liangjiang River.

"The east of Taohua County is full of plains, and the area to the west of Ding'an Prefecture also has a lot of good fields. If we can let the fields on both sides be irrigated by the good river water, there will be no more floods. It will be a benefit to all people. .

So I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity of digging a canal to see if I could solve the problem of the two points of drought separated by this mountain. I wonder if you can do it, Awan. "

Prince Qingfeng pointed to the map on the desk and frowned, his face full of concern for the country.

Shen Jianwan couldn't help but said, "Brother Tang, can you show me the map of Liangjiang Road?"

Hearing that the king of Qingfeng County would not refuse, he hastily moved away and invited Shen Jianwan forward, "Ah Wan, please look!"

And Shen Jianwan didn't hesitate when he saw it, and carefully looked at the map that King Qingfeng had spread out.

After half a quarter of an hour, Shen Jianwan finally stopped, and under the expectant eyes of King Qingfeng, he said, "Ah Wan did have an idea after reading this map, that is, we can dig up this thousand stone mountain to divert the water from the good river to build a new one." The tributaries of the Liangjiang River irrigate the area in the north, and this can also effectively solve the flood problem in the south.”

Hearing Shen Jianwan's words, Prince Qingfeng's eyes suddenly brightened, "Dividing a new tributary from the Liangjiang River? This idea is very good, why didn't I think of it.

In this way, the water from the Liangjiang River entering the tributaries can not only irrigate the farmland along the tributaries, but also reduce the water volume of the Liangjiang River, so that the fields in the west will no longer be submerged during the water season. "

Talking excitedly, he said to the attendant who was waiting in the house: "Tang Lei, hurry up and call Mr. Zhang and the others, saying that the king has something to discuss with them about the canal."

In less than a quarter of an hour, several officials from the Ministry of Industry, who are proficient in water conservancy, including Zhang Shujun, all rushed to the study of King Qingfeng. When they heard that Shen Jianwan was going to dig into Qianshi Mountain to open a branch of the Liangjiang River, surprise flashed across their faces. However, Zhang Shujun, the leader, was the first to deny Shen Jianwan's proposal.

"Mr. Jinxiu Township, your suggestion is very good, but the reason why Qianshi Mountain is called Qianshi Mountain is because the mountain is full of hard rocks. We want to dig a hole in this mountain to allow the water of the Liangjiang River to flow. It may not be easy to get to the east."

And hearing Zhang Shujun's words, the other people in the room also calmed down.

"Yes, the official of Qianshi Mountain went to see it in person when he was in Liangjiang Suixiu. The mountain is full of hard rocks. I'm afraid we will be too late to excavate it."

"That's right, digging the canal has already consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and the treasury has cost a lot of money. It may be very difficult for us to dig this thousand-stone mountain now."

"That's right..."

Seeing what Zhang Shujun and other officials said, Shen Jianwan couldn't help laughing and said, "If Ah Wan has a way to make this mountain easier?"

Hearing what Zhang Shujun and the others said, Qingfeng County King was annoyed that the matter of spending money might not work out. Hearing Shen Jianwan's words at this moment, he couldn't help asking, "What do you mean by Jinxiu Township Lord?"

Shen Jian didn’t hold back when he saw it late, “As we all know, an increase in temperature can cause objects to expand, and a sudden drop in temperature can cause objects to contract. If we burn a stone with fire and then pour cold water on it, the stone will inevitably have cracks and become easier to dig. .

In addition, we will use the principle of leverage to make some organs and machines suitable for digging rocks. By then, we will dig Qianshi Mountain more quickly.

I don’t know if it’s possible to open a hole in Qianshi Mountain with such a two-pronged approach. We don’t need to chisel out all of Qianshi Mountain. We only need to take the thinnest part of it and open a hole to lead the river to the east. . "

Those present were all officials from the Ministry of Industry, and even the king of Qingfeng County had studied the construction. No matter what Shen Jianwan said, as soon as the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction came out, they all brightened their eyes and quickly figured it out. The key to it.

"Wonderful! This officer thinks there is something to do with this!" This time, before Zhang Shujun, the leader, could speak, an official named Luo Hai couldn't help but speak out.

Seeing this, Zhang Shujun also agreed: "Jinxiu Township Lord's method of burning rocks to open mountains sounds very feasible. As for using the principle of leverage to make organs and machines to use on these rocks, I believe that this method of digging out thousands of rocks will definitely happen." will become more feasible."

At this time, another official from the Ministry of Industry, Qian Li, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but frowned and said, "Your method of excavating Qianshishan Jinxiu Township can indeed make it possible, but if you really succeed in diverting the water from the Liangjiang River to the east to form a A tributary can’t be achieved by just digging Qianshi Mountain, because the terrain in the east is higher than that in the south, even if we dig out Qianshi Mountain, it may not be possible to let the water of this good river flow into the east!” Can't help but stroke his gray beard.

These words were like pouring a basin of cold water on the heads of everyone in the room.

Zhang Shujun and the others also heard about Shen Jianwan's method of burning rocks to open mountains and had already experienced the power of the lever principle she said, so they were very excited when they heard that they could use these methods to dig Qianshi Mountain. At Qian Li's words, they couldn't help but become the eggplants of that Shuangda again!
