Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1882 Liu Ya's Experiment

Liu Ya couldn't help feeling that Mr. Yugui was a very easy-going person.At least in this palace, she was trying to live by her own ability, but she really didn't harm anyone.

Of course, this Liu Ya's feeling after meeting Yugui.Whether or not Yugui has harmed anyone and how many people have been harmed is not Liu Ya's turn to do real-time statistics.

This is what Liu Ya has always believed in: There are no really good people in the world, only people who treat you well.

He went up the steps with Mr. Yugui, and Manager Yue greeted him.He also seemed surprised to see Liu Ya and Yugui walking together.

However, Director Yue's brain is still good, and he is not too troublesome.So I just greeted Liu Ya and Yugui respectively, and invited them to wait in the side hall, saying that the emperor just finished his meal and was washing his face and rinsing his mouth.

There are quite a lot of rules for being an emperor. Even if you don't need to take a bath and change clothes after eating, you must wash your face and mouth.

In case the emperor is sloppy, eating a meal with rice grains all over his face and being unclean, it would be an insult to the royal majesty.

But it didn't take long before the emperor came to Xuanyu nobleman to enter.Manager Yue asked Liu Ya to continue waiting here.

Yugui seemed to be leaving, and even glanced at Liu Ya twice, with a deep plea in his eyes.

Liu Ya also nodded slightly to her, meaning that she remembered what she said before, and would try to help her talk about it.

Mrs. Yugui left, of course Liu Ya didn't know what she and the emperor would say, and what she would say.

But it didn't take long, that is, two quarters of an hour, Director Yue came to invite Liu Ya to come over again, saying that Yugui had left.

Liu Ya was surprised, did the emperor agree to Yugui, or did he not?

Following Director Yue to the hall of the emperor's bedroom, the emperor was sitting upright, holding a memorial with a solemn expression.

Liu Ya didn't know whether the emperor's expression was because of what Yugui had said to him, or because of what was mentioned in the memorial in his hand.So when Liu Ya came, she stood aside honestly and didn't disturb her, and didn't say anything.

After a while, the emperor raised his eyes, looked at Liu Ya, and said, "Ya'er, I heard that you came to see me for something?"

Liu Ya frowned, thinking that Yugui had said something to the emperor in advance.But she couldn't blame Yugui, maybe Yugui was just telling the truth, saying that he saw Liu Ya at the door.

Liu Ya nodded and said: "On the one hand, Ya'er came to see Father's body, and advised Father not to worry about the floods in the south. After all, there are so many ministers in the court who can plan, and there are Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Households. The several adults in the family will cooperate with each other, and nothing will happen. On the other hand, I just want to talk to my father about the flood control."

The emperor nodded, then put down the memorial in his hand, and said: "Then Ya'er, tell me, what idea did you think of?"

Liu Ya said: "I only found out about the floods in the south when I went to the Ministry of Industry to get the title deed with the memorial my father gave me. After chatting with the second brother of the Feng family, I also studied the rivers in the south. Distribution and trend. So I thought of a way, I want to ask the meaning of the father."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya walked to the table and said, "Father, let me do a small experiment on the specific method, you will understand after reading it."

The emperor was also very curious about what kind of experiment Liu Ya was going to do.After all, when he dealt with state affairs before, he always read memorials or listened to the suggestions of ministers.As for Liu Ya using experiments to explain things like this, this is the first time I have encountered it.

Liu Ya stretched out her hand to pull the tea tray on the table, and lifted the kettle on the tea tray to make sure there was water in the kettle.Then he placed several glasses side by side, and began to pour water into one of them.

When the water was full, when Liu Ya poured water again, the water would of course flow out along the edge of the cup.

Liu Ya said: "Father, I believe everyone understands the principle of "when the water is full, it overflows", right?"

The emperor nodded.Such a simple truth is certainly not difficult to understand.

Liu Ya put down the kettle, and poured a little water from the first cup into the other cups.After being evenly distributed, each cup can still hold water.

The emperor smiled when he saw it: "The reason is also very simple. What Ya'er means is to dredge the river and let the water flow to other places, so that there will be no floods."

Liu Ya nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes. Actually, the Ministry of Industry is currently working on this method. It's just cleaning, dredging, and widening the river. This is a time-consuming and laborious method that cannot be done once and for all. I asked the second brother of the Feng family Feng Zhongjing, he said that the dredging of the river this year can only be maintained for two or three years at most. Therefore, this method is also a waste of time and money, and it can only relieve temporary rather than long-term solutions.”

The emperor nodded again, sighed again, and said, "Ya'er, since the Ministry of Industry is already doing what you said, do you have another clever plan?"

Liu Ya nodded and said: "My method is similar to these methods, but completely different."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya walked to the Emperor's desk, took a large writing brush from the pen stand, and said, "Father, please use this brush. But after using it, I can't return it to you."

The emperor smiled and said: "I still don't need a writing brush. Whatever you want to do, Ya'er, just do it."

Liu Ya nodded.Holding the pen holder in one hand and the tip of the brush in the other, he pulled out all the hairs of the brush.

When the brush is bald, there is only a bare penholder left.Liu Ya turned her head around and broke off the button on the back of the pen, leaving only a straight bamboo pole.

Liu Ya brought the tea tray over again, put one end of the pen barrel on the spout of the kettle, put the other end of the pen barrel on the sea of ​​tea, and started pouring water.

In this way, the water flows out of the pot and flows directly into the sea of ​​tea along the pen tube of Zhongtong.And the sea of ​​tea was so big that even a pot of water was poured in, but it didn't overflow.

After seeing Liu Ya's action, the emperor frowned and expressed his puzzlement.

Liu Ya pulled out the pen tube again, handed both hands to the emperor, and said, "Father, my solution is to make such a pen tube to lead water into the sea."

"This is..." The emperor looked at the cups on the side, then at the sea of ​​tea that symbolized the ocean, then at the pen tube Liu Ya handed him, and exclaimed, "Ya'er means to rebuild a new one." the rivers, leading the waters of the rivers to the sea?"

"That's right, my suggestion is to re-dug a canal. It can pass through merchant ships and go directly to the dock after passing through several docks; it can also divert the flood and control the flood to the greatest extent."

After Liu Ya finished speaking, she pointed to the pen holder in the emperor's hand and said, "Actually, the purpose of my coming here today is to ask Father for the pen holder."
