Chapter 129 'Leveling Instrument' (four more)

"Miss Qi, you understand so well!" Mrs Chen looked at Qi Yaoyao in surprise.

"Where did I come from?" Qi Yaoyao raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Shi.

"The Imperial Palace!" Chen's words came to mean, "Except for the emperor, the place with the largest and most officials in the world."

"Don't look at their superiority, it's almost the same as fighting with the old farmers in the village." Qi Yaoyao said with a chuckle.

"No way! It's too insulting." Chen shi looked at her with disbelief.

"That's what you think, the officials don't think that, it's called true temperament." Qi Yaoyao said strangely as she looked at them with her ink-like eyes.

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen looked at her dumbfounded and said, "With two official characters, people will have nonsense."

"Mother." Shen Zhouheng said embarrassedly, rubbing the tip of his nose with a guilty conscience.

"What's the matter, I'm not wrong." Chen shi looked at him confidently and said again, "I know you are an official!"

Chen shi looked at Shen Zhouheng from top to bottom, "Heng'er, you saw Mo Xiancheng and the others, don't you want... don't you want to strangle them?"

"I'm an official character and two skins now." Shen Zhou looked at her with a wry smile and said, "With a smile on his face, I can't wait to scold my mother." He pouted, "It is said that the actors on the stage can act, what kind of emperor will it be? The acting is vivid and vivid, let me say that this official is better than them."

"Haha..." Qi Yaoyao shook her head and laughed when she heard the words, "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting."

Shen Zhou's amber eyes shone brightly at her and said, "It's kind of interesting."

"The actors are inferior. Putting it all together, Master Guan will be angry." Chen shi reminded them both.

"Our family is not that particular." Shen Zhouheng said quickly, "Don't say it, don't say it."

"Speaking of which, you need to make a big pie for the gentlemen in the county seat by evaluating their performance and promotion. You can guarantee their full cooperation in Qingfeng Village." Qi Yaoyao looked at Shen Zhouheng with his eyes without waves.

"It goes without saying that they are so short of water, they must be looking forward to the stars and the moon, and the success of water diversion as soon as possible." Chen said without thinking, "This can be a change."

"I just said that the King of Hell is easy to meet, and little devils are hard to deal with. Another sentence is that the poor are easy to help, but the lazy are hard to help!" Qi Yaoyao said calmly as she looked at them with her dark shining eyes.

"Yeah!" Chen shi looked at his son hesitantly and said, "Heng'er, don't be firm on your side, they've retreated and let you cool here, we're not human anymore."

"This is really unpredictable." Shen Zhouheng frowned when he heard the words, "I really ask them whether the water was drawn for me or for themselves."

"Is there a difference?" Chen shi looked at him suspiciously and asked.

"This water is for them to lead, then they have the spirit of Yugong to move mountains, and they will grit their teeth and persevere. If it is for me, then it's hard to say?" Shen Zhouheng looked at them with deep and deep eyes and said.

"I didn't understand?" Chen shi looked at him in confusion and said.

"It's not going to be done in a year or two. It will take a long time." Shen Zhou frowned and looked at her with sharp eyes and said, "We can't be in this county all the time. Heaven is leaving! I am gone, I don’t want them to give up halfway and not be able to hold on.”

The index finger pointed at the drawing axis, "Driving the water is a very heavy physical work, day after day, year after year, it's easy to slack off. Laziness doesn't need to be taught by anyone, who doesn't know how comfortable it is to lie down!"

"Then you really have to ask them if the Yugong has the energy to move mountains." Chen shi looked at him with concern and said cautiously.

Shen Zhouheng didn't hear Yaoyao's voice for a long time, looked over, followed her line of sight to the scroll, "What is Yaoyao looking at?"

"Have you chosen a good place to divert the water?" Qi Yaoyao raised her lids and looked at him with her big black and white eyes.

"Here." Shen Zhou said, pointing at the scroll.

Qi Yaoyao frowned at him and said, "How long is it?"

"It's about ten miles away." Shen Zhouheng looked at her frowning and said, "What are you worried about?"

"How tall is it?" Qi Yaoyao asked immediately.

"I've measured it with our hemp rope, about ten feet." Shen Zhou said without thinking, these numbers were almost familiar to him.

One zhang is three meters, that is 30 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a ten-story building.Qi Yaoyao slandered in her heart.

"It seems impossible to remove them all!" Qi Yaoyao's dark pupils looked at him and said.

"Of course, a tunnel needs to be dug." Shen Zhouheng looked at her tenderly and said.

Qi Yaoyao rubbed her chin with her index finger, "How can you guarantee..." How can I say this!

"Promise what?" Shen Zhou asked her with warm eyes looking at her.

"Yeah!" Qi Yaoyao pursed her lips tightly, thinking what to say?
"Is it difficult to say?" Shen Zhouheng looked at her in embarrassment and asked.

"It's not hard to say, but I'm afraid you won't understand?" Qi Yaoyao pursed her lips and looked at him.

"You haven't said it yet? How do you know that we don't understand." Chen shi looked at her with a smile and said with a light smile.

"Tell me about it." Shen Zhouheng looked at her tenderly and said, "Maybe I can understand it?"

Qi Yaoyao lowered her head and thought for a while, before her eyes lit up, "The carpenter uses an ink bucket to set a straight line, how can you guarantee that your water will flow through the tunnel without any problem? If the tunnel is opened higher than the water flow, it will be over."

Shen Zhou's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he finally understood the flow of his eyes, "You mean level measurement."

"That's right!" Qi Yaoyao nodded her head like garlic, and the smile on her face was as bright as the sun.

There is no leveling instrument now, and visual inspection is definitely not reliable.

How the ancients solved this problem, Qi Yaoyao was very curious.

"This is simple." Shen Zhouheng looked at her with a resolute face and smiled, "Put half a basin of water in a wooden basin, then put an empty bowl in the basin to float on the water, and put a stick on top of the empty bowl. Straight stick, by connecting two points on both ends of the stick and the point to be measured, a total of three points form a line to determine whether the level is accurate."

"Oh!" Qi Yaoyao's mouth opened into an O shape, thinking about it carefully, it was indeed possible.

"What about safety? It's all a big stone. If you fall down, you will die or be disabled, especially your head. You can't take a heavy blow." Qi Yaoyao pointed at her head and asked with concern, now there is no helmet. .

"You can wear a straw hat and a bucket hat, it must be useful! How big can the gravel be." In Chen's imagination, this is not a problem.

Shen Zhouheng is different. He has seen with his own eyes how high the mountain is, how hard the rock is, and how dangerous it will be to dig out the rock.

That really big stone fell down, and it could smash people into meat patties.
