Zhu Xuan first led the team to the dam of the reservoir.
The dam is the most important part of the reservoir and the basis for intercepting water flow.
The technical difficulty here is also the highest. If anything is done incorrectly, the reservoir may collapse, and the people downstream will surely suffer. This is super important.
Zhu Xuan came to the dam and looked around.
The experts he brought have already started conducting inspections to provide Zhu Xuan with accurate data to ensure that there will be no problems with the dam. This is also to ensure the safety and rights of the people downstream of the reservoir.
This was the first time Zhu Mo saw these things. He stood on the edge of the dam and looked out in shock. He couldn't believe it was real. He was just as shocked as when he saw the battleship for the first time. His sleepiness and drowsiness disappeared instantly. , observing everything here curiously.
Xu Miaojin and the others were also surprised!
Cen Hua knew this was a dam before, but she never thought it would be so spectacular, far beyond her imagination and knowledge.
Except for the people who had been supervising the dam and Zhu Xuan himself, everyone else was shocked by the reservoir.
"Xiao Yunxuan, the money spent on this project of yours must be more than I imagined." Zhu Mo said to himself.
Before walking onto the dam, when he saw the huge lake, he knew it would be a waste of money.
Zhu Xuan said: "So how much is Uncle Twenty-One going to sponsor me? I can accept as much as you can sponsor."
The reservoir in Guangzhou is only part of it.
Next, Zhu Xuan also wants to build reservoirs in other places.
Although there are now high-yielding crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, as well as chemical fertilizers and other things that increase the fertility of the land, there is no shortage of food, but the reservoir cannot be eliminated. If there is a severe drought at some point, and there is no water to drink, Not to mention any food.
This was not the first time that Zhu Mo heard Zhu Xuan mention asking for money. He had made a lot of money in Mubang, so he asked cautiously: "Xiao Yunxuan, can you not ask for so much? I... give my savings to You have to leave some for me to enjoy life!"
Hearing this, Zhu Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Twenty-one, the little money you have should be used to play with the Ocean Horse! I'm just kidding, even if I want money, I have to go back and ask Uncle Twenty-one or my second brother for it." want."
"That's right!"
Zhu Mo clapped his hands and said, "Continue to use your word. Brother Twenty and my eldest nephew Yunxi are the richest among the rich."
Zhu Song is a rich man, there is no doubt about it.
Zhu Yunxi owns Daming Daily and Daming Printing Factory, and his family is also rich.
It's just that Zhu Yunxi is just saving the money now and doesn't want to use it. He won't even go to Suzhou, but only goes to Korea, a place where birds don't shit. It doesn't cost much. Zhu Mo thinks that Zhu Yunxi is more willing to invest money.
After a while.
The experts responsible for testing came back one after another.
They reported the inspection data, saying that there was no problem with the dam, that it was quite solid, that there were no cracks in the wall, and that everything was fine.
In this case, Zhu Xuan was relieved and went to check out the water plant here. All the infrastructure was well-constructed and perfect, and there were no other problems for the time being.
Zhu Xuan wrote down the methods on how to operate the reservoir and gave them to Xu Qi.
As early as last year, Zhu Yuanzhang added a new official position specifically for the management of reservoirs, including water plants and so on.
"Master Xu."
"Our reservoirs need to open gates and release water appropriately to be prepared to regulate floods."
"Especially when seawater flows back, we need to provide enough water for the people downstream to irrigate their fields."
Zhu Xuan said.
Xu Qi followed beside him and bowed: "I understand what should be done, and I have read the relevant strategies that His Highness gave me by heart. In the early stage of the operation of the reservoir, I will personally check everything to ensure that everything is normal."
"good!"
Zhu Xuan nodded.
Liuxihe Reservoir is just one of the reservoirs in Guangzhou Prefecture.
There will be more to come.
It is quite difficult to operate it, but I believe that with his experience and the gradual exploration of later generations, the experts from the Science Pavilion will also stay here. The Science Pavilion in Guangzhou will exist for a long time, and other problems will also be solved. It's easy to handle.
Zhu Xuan said: "That's it for today, let's go back!"
This reservoir has been almost observed.
If you stay any longer, there will be no need.
They left together and returned to the city. Zhu Xuan then ordered Xu Qi to demolish or renovate his mansion here. It should not be wasted, but should be used. Anyway, if you can't come back in the future, it will be difficult to live in it again. .
Even if I come back, I can just stay for two days and pay attention to it.
Xu Qi was frightened and did not dare to agree.
Zhu Xuan promised that he would not pursue it, so that he could worry about it.
After coming back to rest for a while, Zhu Xuan went to the science pavilion next to him and asked the scientists how the hot air balloon was doing.
Their hands-on ability is really strong.
The hot air balloon has been ready for a long time. It was tested some time ago and it can fly and land normally. A propeller is also added to it. It does not need to be driven by wind. The direction of the hot air balloon can be changed by the rotation of the propeller.
The technology in the Science Pavilion is getting better and better.
The level of science and technology is improving faster and faster.
The hope Zhu Xuan saw from here was brighter than before, and he said: "Move all the hot air balloons to the boat, I will bring them to the sky."
He agreed to let Grandpa Huang take a look at Feitian, but Zhu Xuan did not break his promise and actually made Feitian's things.
Considering that he still had time to go back now, Zhu Xuan stayed in Panyu for a few more days to make other follow-up arrangements after his absence to prevent anyone from being corrupted too seriously.
As for Zhu Mo, he often went to Yangma to eat the marrow and learned the taste.
Zhu Xuan was worried that his money would be drained, and he could only ask Lei Gang to look at Zhu Mo and tell him to stop fooling around.
But one day.
Zheng He came back from Yunnan and brought a young man with him.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
As soon as they saw Zhu Xuan, they knelt down and saluted.
Zheng He added: "This is my nephew. He was adopted by his elder brother and his name was changed by me. He is called Zheng Guangcheng."
He was given the name "Zheng He" by Zhu Xuan, and he didn't know how much he cherished his new name "Zheng He".
Of course, the adopted son will also have his surname Zheng and his first name will be changed. In the future, he will stay with His Highness. Not to mention being a high-ranking official and rich and powerful, at least no one will dare to bully Zheng Guangcheng unless he does it himself. Death did something it shouldn't have done.
Zhu Xuan looked at Zheng Guangcheng for a while and saw that he was quite handsome. If he wore Confucian clothes, he would give people a gentle and elegant feeling.
"The light is good."
Zhu Xuan nodded and said, "Come here, find Mr. Ji."
After a while, Ji Wenjing came.
Zheng He briefly introduced himself as his nephew.
Ji Wenjing observed for a moment, looked at each other, and agreed: "Your Highness, I will accept this apprentice."
Zheng Guangcheng didn't have any objections, or even had any objections. He knew very well that this was his great opportunity and he had to seize it firmly.
