Because the dam is relatively high, when the water flows out of the dam's gate, it is like a waterfall falling from above into the water diversion channel that has been prepared long ago.
The aqueduct, which had just been very dry, was instantly filled with clear water. The water flowed along the aqueduct into the oxbow lake that had been dug long ago, and then flowed in all directions from the oxbow lake.
The water flow in the aqueduct is very gentle, forming a sharp contrast with the surging river water on the other side of the dam.
For a moment, the water flows on both sides of the dam seemed not to be one river. The dam used its body to block the water rushing from the Yellow River.
Both Liu Che and other officials breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, as if they saw the scene of this dam blocking the flood. For a moment, they couldn't help but sigh, if there were such a dam in the Central Plains, wouldn't the Yellow River prevent floods?
Most people just think about it in their minds, after all, such a dam would cost a lot of money.
Liu Tan's willingness to spend money was a sign of his generosity, but if it were somewhere else, who would pay for it? The imperial court? Could the imperial court afford it?
Not to mention the local officials, as for the princes... princes who can have the courage of the King of the North are not rare, but they do not exist at all!
If there really is an emperor, would he still look upon the King of the North in such a different light?
However, there are always some people who think that Liu Tan is rich and also wants fame. Well, if it weren't for the fame, why would he build these dams? Isn't it just to be praised by the people?
In that case, why not build a few more in the Central Plains? The people in the Central Plains know how to sing praises better than these border barbarians, right?
Someone who thought so expressed this, but that person's words were very subtle. He simply said, "Your Highness, the King of the Northern Territory, truly has turned decay into magic. I'm sure you have experience in flood control in other areas of the Yellow River. I heard the Yellow River is flooding again this year. I imagine Your Highness will surely help Your Majesty solve this problem."
Liu Tan turned around and accurately found the person who was talking. He didn't say anything and just looked at the other person quietly.
The other party was originally smiling, and at the same time he had already thought of many things in his mind. As long as Liu Tan opened his mouth, he had ten thousand ways to drag the other party into the water.
This way, the King of the Northern Territory would lose money, and he would be able to explain to the Prime Minister when he returned.
There is no other way. He was originally pushed in by the Prime Minister in order to make His Royal Highness the King of the North uncomfortable, but His Majesty's favoritism towards the King of the North has reached a point that everyone can see.
Although this man has bad intentions, he is not stupid, so he has never dared to do anything before, for fear that the Emperor would eliminate the hidden danger for his son before he became the King of the North.
So he could only endure it, but he didn't expect that he could endure it until now, and finally he found an opportunity. Although it would not cause serious damage to His Royal Highness the King of the North, it was at least an achievement.
However, what he didn't expect was that Liu Tan didn't respond to him. There was no angry rebuke or hypocritical flattery. The other party just stared at him expressionlessly, making him sweat all over.
Liu Tan didn't say anything because he knew that since the other party said that, he must have thought of many excuses, so the best way was to ignore the other party.
What a pity, it happened in front of Liu Che, otherwise Liu Tan would have a hundred ways to fight back.
But before he could retort, Liu Che spoke up, "The King of the Northern Border has done a great job managing the affairs of the Northern Border Kingdom. What? You still want him to rule the entire world?"
Liu Tan, who was pretending to drink honey water, almost spit out a mouthful of water.
Wow, he is worthy of being the emperor, he has risen to such a high level.
Liu Tan secretly glanced at the man, only to find that he was already lying on the ground, saying in a trembling voice, "I have spoken out of turn, I dare not."
Liu Tan curled his lips and said nothing, while the other officials on the side were watching the fun.
Are you stupid? You are looking for trouble with the King of the North on his territory. Haven't you seen how happy His Majesty has been in being coaxed by the King of the North during this period of time?
Even if you want to find something to do, you have to wait until you return to Chang'an.
Most of these people knew clearly that this person was sent by the Prime Minister.
In fact, not to mention them, Liu Che also knew it very well in his heart.
That's why his words just now were a bit harsh. Under normal circumstances, he would just be giving the other person a warning and would not be so blunt.
For a moment, Liu Che couldn't help but wonder what Liu Qumao was going to do.
Liu Qumao has been very close to the prince recently and seems to be on the prince's side. If Liu Tan and Liu Ju have a bad relationship—no, they don't have to have a bad relationship, just an average relationship—Liu Che can understand that Liu Qumao wants to eliminate the prince's opponent.
However, Liu Ju and Liu Tan were so close that one of them was supporting his younger brother in Chang'an while the other was sending money to his brother in the northern border country. This was no longer a superficial relationship, so Liu Qumao's real purpose was definitely not for the prince.
It is even possible that he is trying to sow discord under the guise of protecting the prince.
Liu Che's face turned slightly cold when he thought of this. In fact, he didn't care much about the relationship between his sons. As long as they could get along on the surface, it was fine. There were very few brothers in his family who had good relationships. It was good enough that they didn't fight or kill each other.
But this does not mean that he wants to see his sons killing each other, especially when his sons obviously have a good relationship, but someone is trying to sow discord between them for some unspeakable reasons, leading to the killing of brothers.
Because of thinking about these things, Liu Che's expression was not very good, and Liu Tan was unwilling to plead for that person in order to show his magnanimity. The scene became cold for a while.
A group of officials racked their brains to think of how to liven up the atmosphere. The Emperor was unhappy, the King of the North was unhappy, and if they didn't show any tact, wouldn't they be in trouble?
So everyone blames that stupid guy for causing trouble for everyone!
But no one dared to speak carelessly, what if something they said went wrong?
Lu Xuan looked around and suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Look, a rainbow."
Liu Tan looked in the direction he pointed and saw a faint rainbow above the dam.
This rainbow, coupled with the white mist next to it, really shows the beauty of the waterfall.
Although this waterfall is man-made, it would not be ugly if it were decorated a little.
Liu Che also saw the rainbow at this time and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? It's sunny and there's no rain, how can there be a rainbow?"
Okay, time for another round of science.
Liu Tan deeply hated himself for being too careless and not being able to popularize science. Instead, he confirmed his status as a god, which required him to spend more effort to take off this vest.
Liu Tan said with a smile: "Rainbows don't have to appear when it rains. As long as there is sunshine and mist, and the direction is right, a rainbow will appear."
Liu Che turned his head and looked at him quietly. Liu Tan could only emphasize, "It's true! If your Majesty doesn't believe me, I'll make a rainbow for you when I get home."
Seeing him emphasize this seriously, Liu Che couldn't help but smile: "I know."
The dam only looks good for a moment when it releases water. If you watch it too long, it will become boring.
After watching, everyone started to pack up. Liu Che walked back and asked, "How many dams like this do you plan to build?"
Liu Tan was stuck for a moment, then turned around and started looking for Xu Lin. However, when he didn't see Xu Lin, he remembered that they could leave after watching the show, but Xu Lin still had some finishing work to do.
He had no choice but to answer honestly, "I'm not too sure about this. I'm not very good at water conservancy. Xu Lin once gave me a blueprint showing the area where the dam would be built, but I still need to see if it's suitable."
Liu Che looked incredulous. "Not good at water conservancy? Then how did you design this dam? I heard you designed three in a row?"
Is this little bastard trying to fool people?
