Seeing that the young princess had already nodded, the steward hurriedly left.
Recently, Su Muyao has not attended the morning court session. It is said that a new favorite has emerged in the court and is quite favored by the emperor.
The next morning, Grandpa De personally came to invite him.
"Young Princess, the plans you discussed with the Emperor the other day regarding the reconstruction of the dikes and bridges are almost complete."
The craftsmen who looked at the blueprints you sent over couldn't help but marvel at their exquisite detail.
The Emperor means for you to go and take a look, and perhaps offer some pointers to those people.
Su Muyao said she wanted to sleep in.
The emperor must know that if he doesn't attend the morning court, he'll definitely be sleeping in!
Now, things have gotten even worse; Grandpa De has come all the way to our house to call for people.
If it weren't for the fact that he's the emperor, I really wouldn't want to pay him any attention.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
After dressing up, she followed Eunuch De over.
As soon as I arrived, I saw a group of people gathered together.
Many expressed that such blueprints not only demonstrated superb architectural techniques.
Only a genius could create something so exquisite.
They huddled together, heads close together, looking at the blueprints, praising Su Muyao as they went.
Having worked on dam projects before, this seemed much simpler to me, but this was my first time working on a reservoir.
Several elderly men, all over fifty years old, saw the young princess arrive.
They quickly explained that they had never seen such a design before and were not very familiar with its principles and operation.
I beg the young princess to say more.
“We can understand the dam in the painting, Princess. The reservoir is indeed painted quite exquisitely.”
However, we are rather dull-witted and do not understand the principles behind this. We hope that the young princess can enlighten us.
One of the men, an elderly man from the Ministry of Works who was over 50 years old, came up to Su Muyao with the blueprints in his hand.
He was genuinely confused by the new plan on the blueprints.
Su Muyao knew she was doomed.
They won't just learn it on their own.
Su Muyao breathed a sigh of relief after she had figured out what they didn't understand.
"Everyone, the design of this reservoir is actually not difficult. As you can see, this reservoir is built upstream, which can prevent floods, store water, provide irrigation and water supply and other functions."
"In the future, whether our great dynasty suffers from floods or droughts, as long as we have this, it will be no problem."
Not far away, the emperor leaned against a large tree, listening quietly.
He trembled as soon as he heard the little princess say those words.
What does this mean? It can prevent floods and store water.
In the future, it can not only resist floods, but also prevent droughts.
If this were the entire great dynasty, every place that could be filled with reservoirs would be built.
That great dynasty will never again die from water shortages, so many people.
They certainly wouldn't die from the flood, given how many people there are.
Just as I was about to speak, Su Muyao explained it to everyone in detail again.
"The purpose of building reservoirs is to store water during the rainy season."
Even during the dry season, there is enough water to ensure daily needs and irrigation of farmland.
This dam is different from the previous ones; its main function is to regulate water levels.
During the rainy season, dams can block the violent impact of floods.
To prevent flooding, thereby protecting downstream farmland and villages.
At the same time, it can also divert river water into this reservoir for storage, preparing for the dry season.
As Su Muyao spoke, she glanced at the men, all over fifty years old, and saw that they all seemed to be gradually understanding.
Then he continued to explain: "During the dry season, the dam can directly regulate the water level to ensure that the farmland downstream receives sufficient irrigation."
At the same time, it can also serve as a source of drinking water for the surrounding residents, thus solving their drinking water problem.
The old man who had asked the question nodded repeatedly: "This method is ingenious. With such a design, rebuilding the dikes and bridges will be an extremely important matter."
"Yes, yes, this way our great dynasty will no longer be afraid of droughts and floods."
The emperor, who was not far away, did not want to disturb the group of old men and simply watched from a distance.
But the corners of his mouth are almost there, extending to behind his ears.
"Your Majesty, won't you go and take a look?"
The Duke of De, who was standing to the side, asked a question, but the emperor shook his head.
"In the past, I only influenced those old scoundrels."
The eunuch nodded and continued, "Your Majesty, this young princess is truly a divine being."
The emperor burst into laughter when he heard Eunuch De talking about the young princess.
"Haha, that's for sure!"
"It was my discerning eye that recognized her talent; I knew Yao Yao was the lucky star of the great dynasty, unmatched by anyone else."
"Now that you know the importance of this, then build it according to the blueprints."
However, it is crucial to remember that no shortcuts should be taken; all expenses will be covered by the imperial court.
If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me, but if you try to cut corners, don't blame me for being impolite.
After Su Muyao finished speaking, everyone else knelt down before the young princess.
"Princess, please rest assured, we all know the importance of this and will absolutely not cut corners."
The emperor listened from a short distance away and glanced at Eunuch De.
Then he said, "You said this young princess has so much money hoarded on her."
"If I were to borrow even more from her to replenish the national treasury, do you think she would agree?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch De smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, you just borrowed from me not long ago."
In addition, there's money borrowed with IOUs from before, and grain borrowed with IOUs from two years ago…”
Upon hearing this, the emperor touched his nose and said nothing more.
How did I end up owing so much? I don't even remember it.
Immediately afterwards, the craftsmen here began to split up and perform their respective duties.
They also hope that their work can be completed in the shortest possible time while maintaining high quality and quantity.
This was a great feat for the dynasty.
Once they succeed, these people will all be written into history books.
Everyone dispersed, and the intense construction began.
Just as Su Muyao was about to leave, she saw the emperor standing under a tree not far away, looking at her with a fox-like expression.
At this moment, the emperor walked towards Su Muyao.
"Yao Yao! The national treasury is empty, and most importantly, I think we might not even have enough money to build this reservoir. I was thinking of borrowing some more from you."
After the emperor finished speaking, he also felt a little embarrassed.
But he had thought about it himself; he was just a little embarrassed to ask.
See, it's not that difficult to say.
If we don't give it, things will just remain the same. But if we give the money for national development, it will be a good thing for the whole country.
Most importantly, this little guy has never been short of money.
Most importantly, people never press her for money when they borrow from her, and she never asks for it back, no matter when she has the money or when she doesn't.
Su Muyao thought for a moment and nodded.
In the past year, Su Muyao has come to realize that the amount of supplies and money she has stockpiled is not very useful.
These silver coins are just lying there all alone; it would be better to give them to the emperor so he can build a better dynasty.
He had looted so much gold and silver treasure in that cave.
In reality, all these gold and silver treasures belonged to the royal family, which is why the royal families of great dynasties were so poor.
