Chapter 723

All the officials came forward in unison and nodded when they saw the picture. They were all in admiration. But when they thought about the huge project, they were worried.

"Your Highness, this underground channel extends in all directions. If it can be built, it will prevent the disaster and waterlogging in Chizhou. If there is no water, it will not suffer from freezing again. But this project... "

As soon as the official's words were finished, everyone was silent.

The people who can stand here to discuss this matter are all smart and influential people. They all know very well in their hearts that the emperor did not even allocate disaster food. How could he allocate money?

Today's Chizhou City, it can be said, is destitute, in addition to the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, there is really nothing to hand out.

All eyes, together brush of stare at the face of long Chen again.

These eyes are full of hope, they know Can give chi state city new life, also only in front of this di prince.

Longchen droops his eyes and stares at the drawing.

He opened his mouth and said in a low and powerful voice: "I have thought for a long time that the canal must be built, but it seems that Chizhou really has no extra labor to complete this task."

"However, as concubine Xi said, my king's coming to Chizhou this time is to solve the problem. If we don't have any food, we will borrow food. If we don't have any money, we can do something about it. I want to divide the canals into different sections. Only when the canals are repaired, can we get grain. "

The officials nodded one after another, but still worried: "it's OK to repair, but the stones and timber used to build the canal need to go to the mountains. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled can dig holes to carry the soil, but they can't carry the stones and timber."

"Who says we need stone and wood to build canals?" A clear voice came, and people raised their eyes, facing situ Xi's serious face.

Qin Yue quickly said: "the empress has no idea. After digging the underground passage, we must reinforce it with stone and wood, otherwise it is easy to collapse."

"I don't think it's good!" Situ Xi shook his head directly.

"This..." All the officials looked at her face to face.

Situ Xi glanced at the crowd and said, "although the stone is solid, it's hard to cut. It's a huge project to chisel the stone to build the road. Even with the underground passage, it has to be dug very well."

"We are short of people and money. How can we hire these craftsmen? Moreover, the canals are reinforced with wooden piles. Over time, the wood will rot and collapse. "

The official said quickly, "but if you don't use stone and wood, how can you build a canal? You can't just use soil, can you? If the soil has been washed several times, it won't work. "

"Naturally, we can't use clay. Our palace will teach you how to make bricks. We will abandon these old methods and use the fastest way to build canals. I just read this map. If the whole city takes action, it can be completed in two or three months at most."

"Two or three months?" People were shocked that it would take two or three years to budget according to their previous budget. These two or three months Isn't that mysterious?

What are you talking about, brick burning?

Firing bricks is absolutely technical!

Moreover, the famous brick factories in the whole Yanlong kingdom are all owned by the imperial court. It's a long way away from here. There's no possibility of transporting them here, so they don't even dare to think about it.

How dare you want to make bricks by yourself?

Chizhou is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Even if the traffic is bad, there will be nine disasters in ten years. For Yanlong Kingdom, this place is basically abandoned.

Otherwise, it could not have been the freezing disaster in December last year, and the emperor would have sent his own prince to relieve the disaster in February next year.

If it's not that they can't cover up the people's indignation, how can the emperor take care of them?

But now the imperial concubine even said that she would teach them to burn bricks?

It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish! If they can really burn bricks, let alone build canals, or rebuild a Chizhou City, that's not empty talk!

Brush!

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on situ Xi's face.

They all trust the princess, but what she says now It's incredible.

"Niang Niang, you are a doctor. It's natural for you to save lives and heal the wounded. But are you really good at building canals and roads and firing bricks and tiles?"

"If you don't believe me, I can give you a military writ."

"This Ha ha, how can a woman make a military order? She's joking. " Qin Yue laughs, trying to ease the embarrassment.

Situ Xi frowned and just wanted to say something.

"Then I'll make this military order for Princess Ai." An elegant voice rang out, and long Chen bent his mouth to see situ Xi.

He had a calm face and a confident support in his eyes.

Situ Xi said: "you Do you believe me? "

Everyone doesn't believe her, but he does?

Long Chen said with a low smile, "you are my wife. I believe you. You said Life and death are the same, and adversity is the same. If Xixi says it can be done, it will be safe. "His words, for situ Xi, were undoubtedly as powerful as beating chicken blood.

His trust at this moment fully affirmed him. The man she loved gave her the best answer in his own way.

He believes in her and believes unconditionally, which is worth everything.

Situ Xi took a deep breath and said, "the palace has long noticed that because of the special geographical location of Chizhou City and the abundant rainfall, the clay is soft and sticky, which is the best material for firing bricks."

"It's March, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the warm and humid weather conditions and the good soil environment give us the advantage."

"In fact, this place which is despised by others has great potential. We are confident that as long as we find the right way, you will be rich."

"Really, ma'am?" Qin Yue asked in a trembling voice.

Situ Xi nodded and said, "if you don't believe me, you can have a try. Your highness will help us set up a military order. Are you afraid that I can't do it?"

"No, I don't mean that. For the people of Chizhou, I thank the empress for her kindness. The people of Chizhou will never forget it. In the future, if the empress needs it, we will die with all our heart and soul."

"Thank you for your kindness!" The officials and the civilians in coarse linen also kowtowed.

"Get up quickly. This palace will write out the details tonight and take you to test the soil tomorrow."

"Thank you for your grace, your highness!"

The long-standing sound reverberates in the lobby of Chi Zhou mansion. Everyone's face is full of expectation for the future, and everyone's eyes are full of desire for a new life.

The matter was soon settled. With the strong support of long Chen, the decision to rebuild Chizhou City was immediately carried out.

The so-called husband and wife work together to break the gold.

In the next few days, situ Xi went into the hinterland of the mountains and drew the most suitable area for firing bricks. Long Chen and Qin Yue went to Linzhou county to borrow grain. They had a clear division of labor, but they had a tacit understanding.
