Concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion: The princess is not to be messed with

Chapter 182

Emperor Wu Ning also said: "Let's listen to Miss Mo first."

Both the emperor and His Highness spoke, and the ministers naturally became quiet.But he didn't think that Mo Qingling could solve the drought.

Emperor Wu Ning looked at Mo Qingling and said, "Miss Mo, please continue."

"Everyone has tried the so-called digging a pond to store water, but if the pond is not big and the location is not correct, the water will be easily absorbed by the ground and evaporated by the sun. The reservoir should be built in a low-lying place, so that When it rains, the water will gather in the pool. There is also digging a well, just now there is water for the minister, but no water comes out after digging the well. That’s because the depth of the digging is not enough, and the place of digging is not right, so naturally no water will come out.”

"Then how deep do we have to dig, and where do we dig to get water?" A minister looked at Mo Qingling and asked.

"It's the same as digging a pool. You need a low-lying area. Generally, you need to dig [-] feet deep. You can also look at the surrounding plant environment to see if there is water in the ground. The most stupid way is to dig about [-] feet deep and see Whether there is limestone, if not, it is a dry well."

"Oh! No wonder that's the case. There is such knowledge in digging wells." They used to dig holes everywhere, no wonder there was no water, and they didn't dig deep.Listening to what Ms. Mo Er said now, it seems to make sense.

Yue Qingfeng didn't expect that Mo Qingling would say some truths.

"How to adjust the South-to-North Water Diversion?" Yue Qingfeng looked at Mo Qingling and asked.

"Isn't the Lanjiang River always flooded? Then open canals to divert the water from the Lanjiang River to the north. In this way, the water shortage of the Lanjiang River will also be solved, and the drought in the north will also be solved."

"Hehe... Ms. Mo really dares to say that the Lanjiang River is thousands of miles away from the north, and a canal is opened to let the water of the Lanjiang River flow to the north. Ms. Mo is really a dream come true!"

"Yes, this is not feasible"

"How long will it take to dig?"

Emperor Wu Ning also frowned, feeling that this is not feasible.Moreover, it will cost a lot of manpower, material resources, and money.

Mo Qingling smiled, and said: "If everyone only cares about the time, manpower and material resources he has spent in front of him, then there is no need to treat the flood or the drought, just let it go!"

"What do you mean?" Many officials were irritated by Mo Qingling's words.

"That's right, it's just a yellow-haired girl who is talking nonsense here."

"I think the ministers have forgotten! I didn't want to come here, but the emperor recruited me because you couldn't think of a way. Now, I have said the way, and you say it is not feasible. I haven't tried it. How do you know it's not feasible?" These pedantic ministers are like this, they haven't tried it, and haven't thought about a specific solution, so they directly deny it.

Mo Qingling's words undoubtedly humiliated these ministers. One minister excitedly cupped his hands and said to Emperor Wu Ning: "Your Majesty, this Mo Qingling is too rude and arrogant. It is clear that he does not take the Emperor seriously. Please treat him with respect." A crime of disrespect."

Mo Zhengqing hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The emperor's daughter was impulsive and spoke indiscriminately. I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Mo Zhengqing tilted his head, looked at Mo Qingling who was standing upright, and said in a low voice, "Quickly kneel down." What he was worried about really happened.

Mo Qingling pretended not to see it, and stood still, showing no signs of panic.

Emperor Wu Ning admired Mo Qingling's courage, and said to Mo Zhengqing, "Ai Qing, please get up!"

Mo Zhengqing stood up and gave Mo Qingling a reproachful look.

Emperor Wu Ning looked at Mo Qingling and said, "The south-to-north water diversion you mentioned just now, although it sounds good and can kill two birds with one stone, it doesn't seem feasible!"
