The heavens begin to realize the Tao and become gods from the divine carving

Chapter 287
It has been more than a year since the fleet left Nanyang, and they don’t know when they will return. The sea is very dangerous because of the stormy sea. If they encounter huge waves, the ship may be destroyed. Without communication equipment, no one knows whether they are dead or alive. Everything can only depend on God's will.

The atmosphere in the whole country is getting better and better, and there are even cases where the door is not closed at night.

Jiang Chen's pirated version of Time and Space "Journey to the West" has been updated to the part of Daughter's Country. This novel is suitable for all ages and is deeply loved by everyone.

This novel is very popular. It is one thing to have a wonderful novel, but more importantly, it was written by the emperor, which arouses the interest of most people.

The white money flowed into the treasury, and the treasury became more and more full.

And Mo Chou's "Legend of the New White Snake" has also reached the final stage of creation.

Sometimes the cultural industry is more profitable than the physical industry.

But the real industry can create jobs and is the foundation of national prosperity.

Because there is no Fengyue place, the overall family is now more harmonious than before.

The governance of the country should not be eager for quick success and quick benefits. Many things must be in the right place and at the right time. The development of society is regulated.

The weather was sunny, and in the imperial garden, they were enjoying the warm sun while eating fruits and watching the dancers dance. At this moment, their daughter Yuyan ran over.

"The fish in the pool in front of the father don't listen to the water, unlike before they have been in the water."

At this time, the eunuch next to him muttered: "The flour in this warehouse is damp, so I have to order it to be taken out."

Hearing what they said, Jiang Chen stared at the sky, Cheng Ying asked curiously: "What's in the sky?"

"It is going to rain!"

"Pfft..." They couldn't help laughing.

"Sanggong, are you mistaken? How can it rain in such a good weather?"

"Yeah, you don't see a single cloud."

"Sir, you don't want it to rain, do you?"

…………

"Xiao Dezi, you just said that the flour in the warehouse was damp, right?"

"Yes, it is……"

"Go find me the drainage system of the palace."

"According to the order."

"Master, are you serious? Is it really going to rain?"

The others also listened curiously.

"Little fish swim out of the water to breathe. Fish live by breathing the oxygen dissolved in the water. When the weather is fine, the atmospheric pressure is high and the oxygen dissolved in the water is high, so it lives quietly at the bottom of the water; Oxygen is greatly reduced, and fish come to the surface to breathe one after another, so there is a saying that "when fish dive, it will rain."

"Sir, why can't I understand what you are talking about?"

"Yeah, it feels so profound."

"And what does it mean if the flour is damp?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means that the water vapor in the air is relatively heavy, and there will be a heavy rain soon."

"Really, can you predict the future?"

"This is a scientific truth!"

Although everyone still didn't believe it, but seeing his serious face and the fact that he had created too many miracles before, they were dubious.

After a while, eunuchs and officials in charge of the palace's drainage system came.

"My lord, here is the drainage system map you want."

Jiang Chen took the blueprint and opened it to look at it in detail. Why did he need to look at the drainage system diagram? Because Jiang Chen had heard that the imperial palace was flooded a few years ago, so he wanted to see what went wrong with the drainage system.

Looking at the map carefully, he analyzed the reason.

The terrain of the imperial city is higher in the north and lower in the south. The ground of Shenwu Gate in the north is about two meters higher than the ground of Meridian Gate in the south, forming a drainage slope of about 2‰ as a whole.

The imperial city's palace complex with central axis buildings as the core makes its overall terrain feature high in the middle and low on both sides, and the terrain in the southwest is slightly higher than that in the southeast.In this way, the rainwater will be discharged from north to south, from the middle to both sides, and finally discharged from the southeast outlet.

The roofs of the ancient buildings in the Imperial City are pitched roofs, which allows rainwater to flow down the slope to the ground after falling on the roof.The slope of the roof is steep at the top and gentle at the bottom, which makes the rainwater drain down quickly on the upper part of the roof, while it is discharged toward the distance at the eaves.This slope design, on the one hand, makes the roof less prone to water accumulation, and on the other hand, prevents rainwater backflow and infiltration at the eaves.In order to make the roof rainwater drain down in an orderly manner, the tile surface is made into small grooves, called "tile ridges".

The tile ridge is composed of bottom tiles and cover tiles.Among them, the bottom tile is paved with slab tiles, the upper tile is pressed down, and the upper and lower tiles are plastered tightly with plaster. Its main purpose is to form a "ditch" for rainwater to drain down; The tiles are connected end to end, and the joints are tightly plastered. The two ends of each cover tile are buckled on the adjacent two bottom tiles, and its main purpose is to form the side wall of the "ditch".

The bottom tiles at the eaves are made into triangular pointed shapes, called "droplets", whose main function is to make the rainwater from the tile ridges converge into a straight line and fall.The adjacent tile is made into a cylindrical shape, called "cat's head", its main function is to fully buckle the end of the droplet to prevent rainwater from seeping into the eaves.

Staring at the drawings for about the time of a cup of tea.

Jiang Chen finally knew the reason.

It turns out that if the canal is blocked, the flood will flow backwards, the Hall of Supreme Harmony will suffer, and other places will also be submerged.

After discovering the problem, Jiang Chen immediately discussed it with the official, and finally sent people to dredge all the canals in this section, and added more drainage canals.

Although they didn't believe that it would really rain, they didn't dare to disobey Jiang Chen's order.

At the same time, Jiang Chen issued a notice, informing the public that there would be heavy rain, and asked them to prepare for flood control.

Hangzhou City also organized the people to start dredging the drainage canals, and other crops were harvested and protected.

Because of Jiang Chen's speculation, the scene from the imperial palace to the entire Hangzhou city was busy.

They worked from afternoon to midnight, because Jiang Chen attached great importance to it, and they followed repeated orders, so even if they didn't believe it, they didn't dare to slack off.

With the [-] labor force working continuously for several hours, all possible hidden dangers have finally been eliminated, and now they are waiting for whether it will really rain.

At this time, the entire palace was silent, except for those on night shift, everyone fell asleep.

Just when everyone was sleeping soundly, they suddenly heard the rumble of thunder.

Soon it was pouring down with rain.

Everyone was very surprised, not because of the thunder and heavy rain, but because of the accuracy of the emperor's prediction.

The rain was so heavy that the palace guards had to go in to shelter from the rain.

And Jiang Chen was a little worried about the loss caused by this rain.

It was dawn, but it was still raining heavily outside, Jiang Chen informed all the officials that there was no need to go to court early today, and everyone rested at home.

It rained from last night to dawn, and from day to night, and the water in this canal was rushing.

The water level is at least half a foot high in a canal that is one foot high, which shows how much water there is.

The water will eventually be discharged into the West Lake or other rivers and lakes.

Jiang Chen was sitting in the palace talking to Cheng Ying and the others.

"You guessed it right, Xianggong. There is really a heavy rain. If you hadn't prepared in advance, the palace would be flooded."
