Chapter 702: Secret
Lord Zhao and General Cao looked in the direction of Han Muchen's finger and saw a large area of square puddles in front of them.
Without hesitation, Lord Zhao was the first to run over. He came here just for this. After being stuck in the house for so many days, he finally saw it.
General Cheng and Master Sun followed closely behind. Just as Han Muchen was about to catch up, he was stopped by Qin Chuchu behind him.
"Your Majesty."
"Huh?" The man turned around.
I saw Chuchu pouting and pulling her sleeves.
"My Lord, why don't you carry it?"
Qin Chuchu pursed her lips and pointed at the car seat under her butt.
If you ignore me for just a moment, your butt will be split into eight pieces.
“…………”Han Muchen.
He looked at the ground full of deep gullies under his feet and couldn't help but curl his lips.
He took another look ahead, hooked his long arms, and directly clamped Qin Chuchu under his armpit, then quickly followed.
It's only a few steps away, why bother carrying it? Just hold it between your arms and walk.
“………………”Qin Chuchu.
Being held under the man's armpit, she kicked her feet in dissatisfaction, but did not dare to shout out, for fear that the old men in front would look back and see her.
It feels so uncomfortable, just like those parents who want to physically punish their children for making mistakes.
But he kept mumbling to himself.
"Put me down now!"
As she spoke, she looked at the old men in front of her, afraid that they would turn around. If they saw her looking so cowardly, where would the princess put her face?
But the man acted as if he didn't hear it and showed no intention of stopping.
Feng Liu and Feng Qi, who were following behind, almost laughed out loud, but they didn't dare to say a word.
Even the usually calm butler Liu grinned.
At this moment, Lord Zhao's attention was all focused on the pits in front of him, and he had no time to look back.
He walked all the way to the pit, then stopped and turned around.
But what he saw was Qin Chuchu who had been put down, standing next to the man in a proper and proper manner.
"Your Highness, are these the pits you were talking about?"
"That's right." The man nodded.
Although he still had that icy face, his big, bony hands were behind his back, tightly holding the restless little hand.
Chuchu is really getting stronger and stronger, and it hurts when I pinch her.
After twisting it several times without success, Qin Chuchu was about to find a soft place to try again.
But after seeing the pits filled with water in front of him, his attention was immediately distracted.
She pushed the man away and ran to the pit.
"Your Highness, is this the same pit where we swam... um, you swam?"
I almost said tulu, but quickly changed my words.
"Exactly."
The man came to the pit with a curled lip, looking at Chuchu in front of him with a playful look. It was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the pleasure he had just experienced.
Looking at the man's smug look, Qin Chuchu resisted the urge to roll her eyes and looked at the pits in front of her again.
“These are actually filled with rainwater!”
I didn't expect the rain to be so heavy these days. Although I don't know how many potholes there are here, this one is so big that I can't see the end of it. It's all filled up.
Tutor Sun and General Cheng, who had been in a daze, finally came to their senses and agreed.
"Yeah, it's all filled up!"
As they talked, they looked at the endless pit in front of them.
It’s not because I was surprised by the heavy rain, but mainly because I was surprised by the many potholes here.
The large greenhouse we saw just now was already quite surprising.
The large number of pits in front of us is no smaller than those we saw just now.
If all the crops are grown and the yield is high, how much grain can be produced?
Then the people will not only not go hungry, but they will also not be hungry.
Although Lord Zhao was not as stupid as them, he was very excited.
I looked at each pit several times. They were about the same size as the ones I saw just now. If rice could really be grown in them, it would really fill a domestic gap.
In the future, we will no longer have to import rice from other countries. This is truly a good thing that benefits both the country and the people.
But there is also a primary problem at the moment, which is to solve the problem of water injection and drainage.
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at Han Muchen again.
"Your Highness mentioned in a letter before that a spring had been dug up here. I wonder where it is. Could you please let me take a look?"
"It's right here!" Qin Chuchu pointed to the pit in front of her.
Following the direction of her finger, Lord Zhao looked at the pit in front of him and frowned slightly.
All the pits were full of water, and there was no spring to be seen.
As if understanding his thoughts, Han Muchen came up to him.
"Sir, please wait for a few days. Once the water in these pits is drained, the spring will become visible."
"How many days?" Lord Zhao frowned.
He looked at the endless pits in front of him. They were all filled with water. How could they be drained out in a few days?
Seeing the doubt in his heart, Butler Liu came up to him with a smile.
"To be honest, Mr. Zhao, there are two drainage pipes under each pit, and they are connected, leading all the way to the North River in front of us.
If you open it, the water inside will drain out in a few days."
When these words were spoken, the adults were stunned and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
"You, you mean that all these pits are connected?"
Lord Zhao looked at Butler Liu in disbelief. He didn't expect that there was a mystery hidden in this pit.
General Cheng and Grand Tutor Sun, who had been silent all this time, were also filled with surprise. They had never expected that this small pit would be so magically designed.
While thinking about this, they heard the sound of rushing water. They looked around and found that they were clearly walking on a gravel road, so they had no idea where the sound of water came from.
"Where does this sound of water come from?"
"My Lords, the sound of water comes from the well over there."
Butler Liu pointed to the manhole cover in the distance, his face full of pride.
I used to worry that digging such a large sewer project would be a waste, but now it seems that I was short-sighted.
If there were no drainage facilities, I'm afraid everything would have been washed away after this heavy rain.
After hearing what he said, they became even more curious and hurried over to the sewer.
He stretched his neck to look inside, but unfortunately he could not see anything. General Cheng was so anxious that he bent down and squatted down.
After fastening the manhole cover, it was lifted up all of a sudden, revealing the rushing rainwater inside.
“………………”Everyone was shocked again.
Looking at the rushing rain water in the pipes, everyone opened their mouths in surprise.
"Is this the rainwater from the past few days?"
Lord Zhao looked at the man in front of him in disbelief again.
No wonder there is no stagnant water on this road. All the emotions have flowed away in it. I don’t know what kind of structure this is. It looks very strange.
"That's right." Han Muchen nodded.
I also looked down into the well and was shocked when I saw the turbulent rain water inside.
Fortunately, it was dug in advance, otherwise, judging by the speed of the water flow, the entire Far North would have been flooded.
