"Lord Zheng, this is truly a masterpiece of nature! Look at the weir, the embankment, the orchards and the river... they've even been painted!" someone exclaimed in amazement.
"This sand table model is truly the most exquisitely crafted I've ever seen before. Even the leaves of this tree are carved with patterns. Is this a clay sculpture from the north, also called a clay toy?"
Zheng Quchi's sand table model is represented in a miniature form, which is naturally different from the terrain models of enemy and friendly forces that are currently used in military applications, which are made up of mud, sand and flags in a certain proportion. Perhaps it should be more accurately called an architectural model.
Whether it's the overall terrain or the combination of building groups, everything accurately expresses the overall architectural structure, transforming her intentions into concrete images so that everyone can clearly and intuitively understand the project.
"Can this really achieve the effect that Lord Zheng expects?"
Sikong was also inspired by her pioneering spirit. Others may have the will, but ultimately they are defeated by various obstacles and difficulties in reality. But she has the will, the strength, and the money. To be honest, he really didn't expect her to have made it this far.
He didn't need to come to Cangling County this time, but he couldn't help himself and was eager to know whether her previous unbelievable ideas could be brilliantly created on this decaying land of Ye.
Zheng Quchi used successful precedents as a reference and then made adjustments in all aspects according to the actual situation in the local area, which finally formed the comprehensive structure of the Cangling Dam as it is today.
She couldn't guarantee 100%, but she was confident: "I think it's feasible."
"And the third one? The adults haven't talked about the water inlet yet." They excitedly urged her to continue.
When faced with the unknown, some feel fear, some anticipation, and some yearn to walk alongside it. No one is unmoved by miracles, just as no one is unmoved by greatness.
"The county has over 200,000 mu of sloping farmland with steep slopes, resulting in severe soil erosion. In addition, frequent mountain floods and mudslides make Cangling one of the poorest counties in Shengjing. In contrast, Guanxiatian has stable grain production and excellent farming conditions, which is due to its inherent geographical advantages. However, I believe that as long as the floods are properly managed, Cangling County may well become the second major grain-producing county."
After she finished speaking, she gave them enough time to react.
"How can Cangling County be compared with Xiatian? Even if the floods are controlled, Cangling County, which is mostly sandy soil, can't compare with the fertile and flat land of Xiatian."
Some people thought it was an exaggeration and refuted it with a critical attitude, while others were skeptical and wanted to know what evidence she had to say that made her so bold.
"So how exactly should we do it?"
"Everything should be done according to local conditions, and the farmland should be comprehensively managed." Zheng Quchi led them to follow the direction he pointed: "Please look at the sand table... We will build supporting facilities such as retaining walls, drainage ditches, sedimentation ponds, and reservoirs. We will use stone embankments to block the soil, use ditches to drain the water, and use reservoirs to store water, so that the soil does not fall down the mountain and the water does not flow randomly..."
To help them understand more deeply and intuitively, she specially created an architectural model. With its assistance, it was as if she were drawing one incredible beautiful scene after another on a blank sheet of paper. The future she described was so wonderful and exciting.
In the extremely quiet environment, the people present suddenly erupted into a tremendously positive response.
"Okay, we fully support you!"
"This has indeed greatly increased the cultivated area!"
"Is this what Lord Zheng meant by diverting water to irrigate fields and diverting floods to reduce disasters?"
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Lord Zheng is truly a genius. To come up with such a method not only solves the problem of flooding but also improves the local people's food income."
"If such a beneficial project for the country and its people can truly be built, I will dedicate myself to it even if it means working myself to death on that slope!"
Seeing them laughing and jumping around like madmen, Sikong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "This matter hasn't even been accomplished yet, and they've already gotten carried away. Their usual composure and steadiness, once constrained by their own limitations, have suddenly turned into throwing themselves into flames, preferring to die rather than give up."
He could hardly imagine what a tremendous achievement it would be if this project were to succeed.
——
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these two years, Zheng Quchi has devoted herself to the project in Cangling County. The engineering team of Ye Kingdom has also transformed from the most primitive manual labor to semi-mechanized, all thanks to her continuous improvement of Ye Kingdom's mechanical equipment.
She doesn't even dare to look back on how busy she's been these past two years. She's basically never had a day off. Every day she's either perfecting various details or innovating and improving, managing to balance working on the construction site and running her office.
In addition, her car dealership was selling like hotcakes, so Zhang Qinan came to Cangling County many times to ask her to take some time out of her busy schedule to design a few more car models.
Because she still owed a lot of money, and also because she wanted to earn more money to pay off the loans, she did not refuse him. As a result, in the past two years, they have launched limited-edition collectible "Panlong", high-end "Yuehu Carriage", niche "tricycle", couple's "double bicycle", etc.
Because her designs are constantly evolving and she has no external competitive advantage, she doesn't need to specifically target any particular demographic. Her prices range from exorbitant to very affordable, and she can attract customers from all walks of life, from the young and old to men and women, and from ordinary people to the wealthy.
Zhang Qinan's business acumen is truly remarkable. He often finds himself overwhelmed with work, so he follows Zheng Quchi's example and outsources part of his business, acting as a middleman to collect payments.
