【happy! 】
Lu Chen saw Xiao Jingzhou raise the corner of his mouth and shake his head, then turned to the other side and didn't look at him.
Xiao Jingzhou rubbed the letter paper with his right thumb for a while before he remembered to pick up the pen to write the letter.
[The rice sent by the girl is enough for the people of Zhiyi City to have porridge for a few days.
But as for this water, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, young lady, to bring some more. 】
He had just sent the letter when he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
During this period of time, he was the one who asked Miss Jiang for things.
Fortunately, Miss Jiang was kind and helped me many times without any complaints.
But he still felt that he owed a lot.
It seems that he still needs to find an opportunity to get more money and send it to Miss Jiang to thank her properly.
...
...
…
21st century.
Jiang Zhenyu unfolded the note.
Deliver water?
This is the most guaranteed thing for her right now.
However, the water from the fire hydrant cannot be used anymore.
If she really encountered a wildfire, she would be making a big mistake.
What's more, the water in the fire hydrant is not suitable for drinking.
The flow of tap water is too small, and it is unknown how long it will take to transport the water.
Never mind, just agree to it first!
…
[Delivering water is no problem, just find a pool or a pond.
When it gets dark, I can bring the water to you.
The ten buckets of water that were delivered before were probably only enough to cook porridge and could not be distributed to the people in the city.
I also purchased ten more buckets, which will arrive in two days.
When the time comes, the buckets will be passed alternately, and you won’t have to secretly fetch water in the middle of the night. 】
After Xiao Jingzhou finished reading the letter, he looked up and didn't see Lu Chen in the room.
He shouted and a figure appeared at the door.
"Young Master, what do you want?"
Lu Chen couldn't bear to see Xiao Jingzhou's worthless smile, so he could only hide by the door, hoping that out of sight, out of mind.
I just didn't expect that this communication would be so short.
He thought it would take at least half an hour!
Xiao Jingzhou had no idea of his rich inner thoughts.
He ordered, "Go and call Lu Feng."
As soon as Lu Feng entered the house, Xiao Jingzhou asked him where there was a suitable pool or pond.
“There are many pools and ponds in Zhiyi City, but they have long been dried up.
Lu Feng was still immersed in the magical world of how Xiao Jingzhou created food and water.
He asked tentatively, "Do you want to store water in a pool or pond?"
When he saw Xiao Jingzhou nod, he almost burst into laughter.
Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince an immortal who has descended to earth?
He can actually create water with his bare hands!
Xiao Jingzhou said again: "You and Lu Chen go outside and look for it.
Please give me your answer before the sun sets. ”
The two brothers took the order: "Yes!"
After the two went out, they came back in less than half an hour.
There was another person following behind them, Chen Gan.
Lu Chen explained that when Yang Jin learned that they were looking for the pool, he asked Chen Gan to come along and report back.
Chen Gan said: “Mr. Gu, there is a large water cellar near the granary.
When the general discovered signs of a severe drought, he ordered his soldiers to dig reservoirs in the granaries to store water for the soldiers while they waited for the next rainy season.
But I didn’t expect that there would be a severe drought in the north, and rain was more precious than oil, but not a drop of rain fell.
The general sent messages to the capital many times, but all fell on deaf ears.
The reservoir was only used once and then became abandoned without water. ”
Xiao Jingzhou didn't expect that Yang Jin had already discovered signs of a severe drought.
He could imagine Yang Jin sending a letter back to the capital, but he waited a long time for the relief food, and his ignited hope gradually died down until his expectation cooled down.
Xiao Jingzhou restrained his emotions and said calmly: "Take me to see it."
Several people went to the granary and walked to the open space at the west door.
The wellhead covered by stones on the open space looked particularly abrupt.
Chen Gan walked to the wellhead, and Lu Feng lent a hand and together they removed the stones covering the wellhead.
Xiao Jingzhou asked: "How much water can this water cellar store?"
Chen Gan guessed that Xiao Jingzhou wanted to use the water cellar to store water, but he didn't expect him to ask this question.
Could it be that no matter how big the water cellar is, he could get water to fill it up?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
But he couldn't show it, so he could only suppress his happiness and took Xiao Jingzhou to a stone five meters away.
Move the stones away and you will find stairs underneath the cave entrance.
Chen Gan asked someone to bring torches, and several people entered the water cellar under the light of the fire.
Xiao Jingzhou had seen a water cellar drawn on a blueprint. It was like a well and could be used whenever needed.
Unexpectedly, I could follow the stairs to the bottom of the water cellar.
In the light of the torches, the shadows of several people were stretched out long in the water cellar.
Lu Chen exclaimed: "This water cellar can easily hide an army!"
Lu Feng was more curious about another thing.
"This water cellar is too far from the well. Why don't you just go down the stairs instead of drawing water from the well?"
Chen Gan led them to the bottom of the well.
He said proudly: "This well is one and a half meters deeper than the water cellar. As long as there is water in the water cellar, the water in this well will not run dry.
This water cellar has three levels of water storage stairs, and each level can be used for storage.
This is all thanks to a gentleman who drew the picture, making it possible to create a water cellar that achieves three goals at once. ”
Chen Gan’s words.
Let a thought flash through Xiao Jingzhou's mind.
He asked: "Could you tell me the name of the gentleman who drew this picture?
If Gu has the chance, he would go and visit him to ask for advice. ”
Chen laughed dryly: "What a coincidence, the old man has the same surname as these two brothers.
They all have the surname Lu.
Maybe if we count back hundreds of years, we are still relatives. ”
No need to guess, Xiao Jingzhou already knows who drew the picture.
His teacher, his tutor, Lu Weiyi!
Lu Feng also reacted. He remembered that the Taifu had been staying in his room with a lamp on day and night and not going out for several days.
When Taifu Ken came out of the room, he looked much more haggard. He changed into a clean set of clothes and refused to let him go out with him.
It turns out it was for this very thing!
It was also because of this incident that the Taifu's health deteriorated day by day until his death.
The water cellar is empty and words echo.
In the quiet environment, only Chen Gan's voice seemed particularly harsh.
Chen Gan soon realized that the atmosphere was not right, and he said, "Why don't we go up first?"
It felt strange for him to stand here and talk alone.
Xiao Jingzhou nodded: "Let's talk about it when we get up there."
When they returned to the ground, the air was much fresher.
Xiao Jingzhou thought of the water cellar and ordered:
"Bring some people and clean up down there, making sure nothing is left behind."
When Chen Gan thought of the water, he volunteered to lead the soldiers to work.
Xiao Jingzhou took the two brothers back.
Lu Chen approached him and asked, "Young Master, if we were to collect water tonight, would it be too obvious and easy for someone to notice something was wrong?"
Obviously Xiao Jingzhou had considered this a long time ago.
He rubbed his brows and said, "There's still enough water in the granary. We'll talk about it in two days."
The three of them passed by the porridge stall at the south gate and heard noisy sounds.
"Why can't I receive it?"
"I stood in line obediently!"
"You guys want to keep it all for yourself, aren't you afraid of choking on it?"
Lu Chen reached out and grabbed a soldier who was rushing to maintain order and asked:
"What's going on?"
The soldier followed Yang Jin and recognized the faces of the three men.
He complained: "Many people started queuing again after drinking the porridge.
This rascal drank a bowl of porridge and now comes to queue up to make trouble.
If we distribute porridge like this, it will take three days and three nights to finish it! ”
Lu Chen was puzzled: "With so many people in the city, how did he manage to queue twice without cutting in line?"
The soldier said, "The first person to drink the porridge will run faster and will be ahead of those who go home to get their bowls.
Don’t say it twice, even three times will do! ”
After the soldier left, Lu Chen frowned and said, "Young Master, if many people are asking for porridge repeatedly like this...
People who waste time going home to get a bowl may not even get a single bite of porridge! ”
