Chapter 665: Want to Plant Rice
Qin Chuchu dived all the way to the bottom of the pool, but couldn't find the spring after searching for a long time.
The man pulled her hand and pointed forward, and Qin Chuchu then noticed that there was a glass tube in front.
I swam over, but couldn't see anything. I reached out and touched it, then I felt resistance.
It turned out that this was the spring. I turned my head inadvertently and saw the blocked glass pipe under the corner of the wall, and I immediately became interested.
I pulled the man and pointed there. It seemed that the pipe was used for drainage, but I didn't know why it was installed.
After all, there was no such thing in the previous greenhouses.
Han Muchen took her hand and pointed upwards, meaning for her to go up and talk.
The two of them then floated up hand in hand again. As soon as they emerged from the water, Qin Chuchu couldn't wait to get close to the man.
"Your Highness, what is that pipe for?"
The man naturally hugged the softness in his arms, hooked his arm around Qin Chuchu's soft waist, and spoke softly.
"It's for drainage. There's another one over there."
While speaking, he pointed in the opposite direction.
Qin Chuchu looked in the direction the man pointed and became even more confused.
"Why do we need to arrange water pipes?"
Could it be that they installed the pipes because they were afraid that it would be filled up when it rained, but the ones before it were not installed.
Seeing Chuchu's curious look, the man curled up the corners of his lips, took her to the edge of the pit, and pointed to the large pit behind him that had not yet been covered with glass.
“Not only does this one have pipes, but those without covers also have pipes. I plan to grow rice in these greenhouses.
The pipes below are used to control the water volume. Do you think this is feasible?"
The man stared at Chuchu in his arms with burning eyes.
I've had this idea ever since the spring was dug out from this pit.
So they had drainage pipes installed in all the pits, and all the pits were connected.
If rice can really be grown in the future, it can be used to control the amount of water. If there is not enough water, it can be released from the pool of this spring.
If it is enough, you can plug the pipe to ensure the amount of water in the pool.
When it is harvest season, there is no need for water in the pond. The stored water can be discharged through the pipes into the river in the north, which is very useful.
"Rice! I don't understand!" Qin Chuchu frowned.
I didn't expect this man to have this plan, but rice is really my blind spot and I have no say in it.
"Aren't you quite capable?" The man raised his lips slightly.
He pinched her little nose lovingly, and it turned out to be her weakness.
Seeing the man staring at her mockingly, Qin Chuchu pinched her nose in dissatisfaction.
"snort!"
She pushed him away, lay down on the shore and looked towards the north, at the large pit without a glass cover.
"Your Highness, why don't you put up covers over all these pits?"
Even if you want to grow rice inside, you should install a glass cover. The temperature inside will be high, the grain will grow well, and the yield will naturally be high.
Before I could hear the man's voice, his hard chest pressed against me.
Han Muchen wrapped his body around Qin Chuchu's thin frame and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"It won't be too late to make peace after Lord Zhao arrives."
The soil underneath this pit is different from the previous ones. Unlike the previous pits, the soil underneath was all yellow clay.
The soil in the pit here is obviously darker in color and relatively loose, very similar to the soil of the black soil mountain in front.
I thought I would wait for Lord Zhao to come and take a look. If it is okay, there is no need to fill it with black soil. It will not be too late to install the glass cover then.
"Who is Lord Zhao?"
Qin Chuchu turned around and looked at the man in front of her in confusion, but she had never heard of such a person, let alone what he did.
"Lord Zhao is the Minister of Works and is quite knowledgeable about water conservancy. I specially invited him here."
After saying that, he looked up at the gloomy sky and frowned.
Logically, Lord Zhao should have arrived, but he is nowhere to be seen at this time. I wonder if something has happened.
Following the man's gaze, Qin Chuchu also tilted her neck and looked at the gloomy sky. It was really going to rain.
Remembering what the man had said before, she asked curiously again.
"Your Majesty, how did you know it was going to rain?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the darkening sky above her head.
There was still sunshine in the morning, but it was a bit cloudy. I don't know how this man knew it was going to rain.
Following the direction of Chuchu's finger, the man looked up at the sky again and raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
"Can this still stump me, your husband?"
After saying that, he pecked Qin Chuchu's lips quickly and proudly.
For a victorious general who leads troops in battles all year round, observing the weather and terrain is just the most basic skill.
“…………”Qin Chuchu.
She glared at the man in dissatisfaction, then wiped her lips violently. Look how proud he was of her.
Although he looked disdainful, he still admired him in his heart. The ancient people also had their own ways.
It’s hard to deny that you can predict the weather even without a weather forecast.
Just as I was about to say something else, a cool breeze suddenly blew by and a big raindrop hit my forehead.
“It’s raining!”
Qin Chuchu touched her forehead and looked up at the sky.
The raindrops were quite heavy, and they made my forehead feel cold.
"Let's go back!" The man also looked up at the sky and estimated that a heavy rain was not far away.
"Okay." Qin Chuchu nodded.
Just as she was about to climb onto the shore, the man pulled her back.
"Wait a moment!"
As soon as Han Muchen finished speaking, he jumped onto the shore first and took Qin Chuchu's clothes. Although he knew there were no outsiders here, he still looked around.
"Come up!"
“…………”Qin Chuchu.
She rolled her eyes speechlessly, like a thief, as if she had done something shameful.
As soon as she climbed onto the shore, the man wrapped her in clothes and held her in his arms.
Not only did he help her put on her clothes, but he also helped her pull up her pants.
Qin Chuchu was like a vegetable, waiting for the man to serve her. She let him wear whatever he wanted and was too lazy to move.
She even helped her put on her shoes, and then the man put on his own clothes.
After the two of them were dressed, the man snapped his fingers towards the distance, and Feng Qi and Feng Liu quickly came over.
"Have you notified Qingzhou Prefecture to close the skylight?"
Guessing that the rain was going to get heavier, he thought of asking the people in Qingzhou Prefecture to close the skylights.
Otherwise, water will flood in when it rains and then be unable to drain out.
"I notified Lao Zhao early in the morning!"
Feng Qi nodded. The message had already been passed on when his master gave the order. He thought that the skylights in the people's homes should be closed by now.
"Well, that's good. Let's withdraw all the soldiers!"
Han Muchen nodded and looked to the north at the soldiers who were digging pits.
If it rains heavily soon, we won’t be able to do the work. It’s better to let them come back early to avoid getting wet.
