C150 mountain opening

Ya Zhu could tell from between her eyebrows that she was displeased. Her face was slightly red as she hurriedly said: "I am not speaking up for a woman outside, I am only grateful for the favor of the secondary wife. I will say a few words.

Gu Qingli smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, but this consort just so happens to be a very intolerant and unbecoming person."

After applying the needles, she coldly withdrew all the needles. Suddenly, she asked seemingly unintentionally, "You were also redeemed from the brocade pavilion, right?"

Ya Zhu's face stiffened, unable to respond.

Gu Qingli understood and left with a smile.

She felt that Deng Shengchuan himself should be more careful.

When they returned to the magistrate court, Gu Qingli saw that there were a few more slim and beautiful women in her small courtyard. They were all in light and thin clothes, with a Celestial Dress on the ground, and did not look like they came from a brothel.

Of course, Du Ying didn't look like one either, the word 'frivolous' didn't necessarily appear on the face of the elegant courtesan.

Gu Qingli found this funny. She looked at the group of women surrounding Xiao Yi and mumbling to him. He had a faint, distant smile on his face the entire time. Occasionally, he would speak to them, neither cold nor warm.

"Your Highness."

The moment Gu Qingli opened her mouth, the other girls immediately noticed her. Perhaps they had been instructed to do so by You Chenguang, but they all quickly kneeled down and saluted her. "This humble one greets Imperial Concubine Gu."

"These ladies …" Your highness intends to bring all of them back to the capital? "

Xiao Yi Xiu smiled but didn't answer. "No one serves you here. It's good to have a few people who know what's good for you."

She was actually quite happy about it! Gu Qingli knew he didn't like these girls, so she bit her lower lip and smiled at him, "Our prince is handsome and has a good temper. She likes to take them back one by one, but who would have thought that she would come out to cure the flood and bring back a bunch of peaches."

"A man does not flirt with a young man, not to mention a talent like the prince." The woman was dressed in a long dress with roses sprinkled on it. She was gorgeous, and her eyes contained a hint of provocation. Even among this group of mediocre and commonplace fans, her temperament was still luxurious, completely unlike that of an ordinary courtesan.

Gu Qingli's gaze swept over to see the woman raise her hand and place it on Xiao Yixiu's shoulder. Her chin rested lightly on the back of her hand and her smile was as wide as Gu Qingruo's, making her feel somehow annoyed.

No matter what, Gu Qing Ruo Ruo was still the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister, and was also known as the Capital Master. Although she was domineering, she naturally had the right to be arrogant. But this woman, at most, was just a courtesan sent by You Chenguang, how could she put on such a posture?

Gu Qingli could faintly feel that something was wrong with this woman. She calmly smiled and replied, "So, you were tempted when you saw your highness?"

The girl had a sweet smile on her face. "That's right. All the girls in the world like a scholar or hero."

"Then is our prince a genius or a hero?"

"All of them." The woman smiled leisurely. "Your Highness is a famous War God in the East China Sea. I have always admired him ever since he was a child. "Moreover, he is an accomplished scholar and an elegant and unrestrained man. Truly a sight to behold …"

However, she seemed to have a deeper meaning to Xiao Yixiu's warm, smiling eyes. She endured her discomfort and smiled, "I didn't see that a girl from the Red Moon who comes from an Embroidery Restaurant would actually know about the War God of the East Continent. You are truly knowledgeable."

The woman's face stiffened for a moment before smiling, "That's because His Highness' name is known throughout the world, who doesn't know of it?"

Gu Qingli nodded. She didn't pay any more attention to her and arranged a living quarters for the girls. The courtyard in the house was large enough for a row of rooms at the side.

However, when these women gathered together, they quickly stopped putting Gu Qing Li, the secondary wife, in their eyes.

Gu Qingli was too busy calculating the dam construction, dredging up the waterway, and thinking about how to divert the water. These things could only be discussed with Cheng Dian. Although Cheng was inexperienced, she had some knowledge of water conservancy and plotting, so she was surprised and amazed by many of her suggestions.

They rowed the light boat to the bottom of the Cloud-Traversing River. Gu Qingli looked at the lofty peaks of the Jun E Mountain and couldn't help sighing softly.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Qingli pointed into the distance. "Now that the water is clogged up, we don't know when it'll dry up and the summer rains. Who knows when another seven days and seven nights will come? In order to build a dike, you have to first let the vast amount of water leak out, but do you know what to do? "

Cheng Wang nodded subconsciously, then shook his head. He naturally knew that he had to let this water run away first. Money, budget, and plans were all in their infancy now. Gu Qingli had even basically solved the problem of disaster relief with her manpower. But building a dike can't let the laborers flow down the river to build it? Although the water level had dropped a lot since the continuous torrential rain, and most of the rooftop houses were already exposed, there was still no roof on the high ground.

"The mountain is the one blocking the river. We have to break down the mountain and take the road. First, we have to split up and dig."

The mountains are so steep that even if you choose to dig in the lowest recess, the sheer scale of the project is unthinkable. If it was that easy, there was no need for the current torrential rivers to converge. There was no other way.

"Open the mountain!"

Cheng Qi was shocked as he glared at Gu Qing Li. All this time, Gu Vice Concubine Gu had left him with the unfathomable impression that he couldn't even see her face, but he was well aware that she was the capital's famous Ghost Doctor, Li Yue. It's just that a woman with outstanding medical skills isn't related to water conservancy, right?

It was only when they gathered at the foot of the mountain that he understood the method that Gu Qingli had used to open the mountain.

Under Gu Qingli's command, they set up a fire stove, put in some firewood and started burning it. Then they used tiles to guide the flames to crash against the cliff wall. From afar, it looked like a fire dragon charging straight into a cave.

Fortunately, the firewood was collected on the spot. The fire dragons continued to burn more and more until they heard the loud, deafening crackling of the rocks. Cheng Jian quivered in fear. He felt like the rocks were about to crack and the earth was about to shatter.

As Gu Qingli evacuated the nearby crowd, she instructed them to pour the water they'd taken beforehand onto the boiling red rocks.

Suddenly, the rocks began to contract and crack.

Cheng Jian and the other victims of the disaster were all dumbstruck. The mountain walls began to crack and expand rapidly, and some of the rocks even began to crack in front of them.

"Gu Vice Concubine, you're so strong!" He had already changed his skepticism from being skeptical to being completely subservient to someone else. At first, he didn't believe in a woman's character at all, but since Xiao Yixiu had asked her to handle the water conservancy project, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Over the next few days, the rocks split open first, and the laborers began to carve the mountain with chisels and shovels.

Seven days later, the water level dropped, and the worst part of the disaster began to show through the muddy black soil. The victims were so excited that they began to cheer, as if they had already found their way to their homes.
