473 Drought Prevention 11
Qin Zicheng's repeated actions did indeed look a little weird.
If he wanted to rebel, he should be eager to build many weapons, but he ordered people to build a large tank with unknown amounts of mouths.
And they were all transported to various parts of Yuzhou City.
Even Fancheng was affected.
It is not obvious elsewhere, but in the military camp, wherever soldiers rest, there are large tanks.
Even Feng Zhihan’s residence is also home and there are many empty tanks inside and outside the courtyard.
But there was no movement in Fancheng.
When the letter came to the emperor, he naturally had a lot of suspicion.
The next day, Song Tian, as the military supervisor, also sent a note.
Song Tian said he participated in a regular meeting of Qin Zicheng and learned that he was preparing for a reservoir.
Because Yuzhou City was originally a water-deficient place, otherwise, many drought-resistant medicinal materials would not have been replaced.
This is all supported by the tax revenue of Yuzhou City this summer.
Not only were the reservoirs built in the military camps, but even the counties below were also urgently building reservoirs.
The word reservoir surprised the emperor.
I heard it for the first time, and I don’t know what kind of existence it is.
Song Tian’s memorial did not write too much in the ground, but only talked about the use of these tanks and what kind of far-reaching impact it would have on Yuzhou after the reservoir was built.
The emperor naturally understood that this thing was good, but how was it built?
Even if the construction is completed, where does this water source come from?
Is it just that rain or snow water is collected every year?
The northwest is generally arid.
Fancheng is next to Yuzhou, but because it is on its east side, it is obviously much better.
This is also a problem that has caused headaches for generations of emperors before.
There is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, but no water in the northwest.
Although the emperor did not quite understand the principle of this reservoir, he still felt it was very beneficial and had a intuition that once this thing was made, it would definitely be a blessing for the people in the northwest!
The emperor immediately issued an order and ordered the Ministry of Works to dispatch several experienced old craftsmen to quickly rush to Yuzhou.
When Qin Zicheng received the news, the masters of the Ministry of Works were already on the way.
It seems that it still alarmed the emperor.
Qin Zicheng wrote two remarks, one for the bright and the other for the secret remarks.
Both of the memorials were sent to the capital in a hurry.
After reading the drawings, the emperor was shocked.
I never expected that there was such a magical existence in the world.
Feng Wuyao can even design such a thing, which is indeed a masterpiece.
But Qin Zicheng also said that Feng Wuye just spoke and provided an idea. The specific operations were all figured out by the craftsmen below after trying it many times.
After all, this is not something a person can do.
The emperor once again felt that he had not targeted Feng Wuyao at the beginning, what a wise decision.
In another secret note, Qin Zicheng wrote about Feng Wuyao’s speculation about drought.
Because the time has been a bit long, Feng Wuye cannot be sure of it now.
Qin Zicheng felt that Yuzhou was also a water-deficient place anyway. Even if there was no drought next year and a reservoir was built, it would be useful sooner or later.
After all, it is due to geographical location.
The emperor agrees deeply about this.
This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people!
