The biggest difficulty of Baopingkou is not the opening, but the accurate calculation. How did Li Bing calculate the water diversion so accurately back then? Until two thousand years later, no one can solve this mystery.
Pan Wen led people down to clear out the hole.
The biggest function of Baopingkou is to divert water, leading part of the water to Quzhou, so that the inner river can be diverted to irrigate Canzhou, and the outer river can be diverted to discharge floods.
Since then, the Qiansha River flowing around Yutao Mountain has flowed here.
While everyone was busy, Yue Rushuang ran to the back and placed lead wire cages, concrete tetrahedrons and other modern things that replaced the ancient wooden rafters, bamboo cages and pebbles behind the mountain.
Then have someone carry it.
No one knows when this thing was carried here.
Yue Rushuang didn't want to take it out at home and then transport it here. It would be too tiring.
Anyway, no one dared to ask her, who made her the crown princess.
Yue Rushuang and Pan Wen directed the installation according to the original drawings of Dujiangyan.
The project was completed very late, and the sky darkened, making it difficult to see clearly.
Yue Rushuang suppressed her excitement and wanted to see if she could succeed. If not, she would have to find another way. This was too difficult for Yue Rushuang. In her previous life, she studied medicine, not water conservancy engineering.
Yue Rushuang took out several high-wattage light bulbs and had several shelves made, and the big light bulbs were placed on them, making them as bright as day.
Yue Rushuang took matters into her own hands, rolling up her sleeves and working with a group of soldiers and strong men in service to lift the lead wire cage and move the wood together.
The prince ran away as soon as he saw it and ran towards Yue Rushuang.
emperor……
"It's worthless!"
"Is she really the princess? What is she doing?"
Pan Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is controlling the water."
"I have never seen such a woman before. She is capable of literature and martial arts, smart and capable. She can also cook food for her husband with her own hands. The Crown Princess... is kind-hearted."
The emperor snorted and said, "You don't look like a lady."
"Jiang Yuan is just so out of tune, and so are the children he brought out."
Pan Gonggong said: "But the Crown Princess is kind. She treats Xing'er well and never looks down on the slaves. Even Aunt Qian, who is used to having a black face, the Crown Princess never said a harsh word."
Emperor: "Huh?"
"Didn't I ask her to teach the princess the rules?"
Pan Gonggong said: "I have taught her a lesson, but Aunt Qian said that the Crown Princess's memory is not very good. She learned it for a while and then forgot it. Aunt Qian said that it might take a year and a half to teach her."
The Emperor: "I think she deliberately refused to learn."
The prince over there pulled Yue Rushuang behind, and he also carried the things.
until everything is installed.
Everyone watched as the water of Qiansha River changed from one river to two rivers along the diversion mouth, and the river water no longer rushed towards the dam.
Yue Rushuang finally let go.
Pan Wen almost cried.
"I have been treating floods for so many years, but I have never thought of such a good method. The time and place are perfect. The Crown Princess is really a great contributor."
Yue Rushuang said: "I did not come up with this method. It was Li Bing. Li Bing and his son built such a project called Dujiangyan. This project has been in use for more than two thousand years."
Yue Rushuang was filled with admiration when she spoke.
"You are also amazing. You accurately calculated the size of the mouth of the treasure bottle."
Pan Wen said sheepishly: "That's because I'm too familiar with Qianshajiang."
"I've been fighting it for twenty years."
"Tomorrow, blow up the dam!"
Yue Rushuang shouted domineeringly.
"Let's create a ceremony to give the people of Quzhou confidence!"
Yue Rushuang said.
"All craftsmen involved in the construction project will be rewarded!"
Pan Wen shouted: "Come to the dam at noon tomorrow, Young Master Yue will be rewarded."
Someone shouted happily, and everyone shouted.
Someone climbed down from the shelf and tried to remove the light bulb.
Pan Wen said: "Young Master Yue, what is this? I wonder if it can be placed by the Qiansha River. At night, the water is black and scary."
Yue Rushuang said very simply: "Then just find a few suitable spots and put the light bulbs on them. Let's put them by the Qiansha River."
Pan Wen thanked him repeatedly.
Yue Rushuang and the prince took the emperor and Lao Pan home.
Emperor: "Take this lamp back."
Yue Rushuang...
"Father, this lamp is too big and hurts your eyes. It is placed by the river."
After everyone returned home, Yue Rushuang cooked some wontons for the prince because he was afraid that he would be hungry.
One bowl per person.
After Yue Rushuang finished eating, she began to settle accounts.
Mr. Chen's disaster relief silver of 200,000 taels was not touched much, and almost all of it was accepted by the prince. There was also the 100,000 taels stolen from Mr. Chen, and the three boxes Myolie dug out in the bamboo forest. Except for that one Boxes of gold jewelry, one box contained 30,000 taels of silver notes, another box contained small-denomination silver notes, more than 7,000 taels, and in addition were the gold ingots collected in the pickle jar, oh, and the Changzhou Prefectural Government bribed her One hundred thousand taels.
Yue Rushuang didn't want the one hundred thousand taels. She wanted to donate the money in the name of Changzhou Prefecture.
From this point of view, the public funds are only 200,000 taels, and the rest is my own money.
Yue Rushuang covered her heart, it really hurt.
Yue Rushuang kept track of all the things she bought these days. She distributed a total of almost 100,000 taels of rice grain and disaster relief money, and another 100,000 taels were left for the disaster-stricken town.
It cost 700,000 taels to build a house, food for the population, wood, soil and mud, and there were more than 30,000 households in Quzhou City.
"The money used to build the house must be recovered and let them pay it back in installments, a little bit every year."
"The emperor will definitely not pay this money."
Yue Rushuang said: "It's like building a new Quzhou City."
The prince said: "Just follow the crown prince."
Yue Rushuang said: "Tomorrow, ask your people to go to Changzhou Prefecture to invite two lion dancers. Tomorrow I will blow up the dam and give some red envelopes to those who control the water. Pan Wen and his son will give a big one."
Crown Prince: "Just follow the Crown Princess."
Yue Rushuang thought about it, there was still gold in the leader's old house that had not been collected, there was still gold hidden in the mountains that had not been collected, and there were other treasure hiding places that had not been collected.
Yue Rushuang thought, when I find them all, I will take them all away for you at once.
Thinking of this, my chest no longer hurts.
Yue Rushuang put the electric car into the space to charge, then washed up and went to bed.
The prince hugged Yue Rushuang and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Yue Rushuang drove for a few days and was busy as soon as she got home. She was really tired.
The prince wanted to do something else, but seeing how tired Yue Rushuang was, he had no choice but to endure it again and again.
The next day, Yue Rushuang started sealing red envelopes early. There were more than 300 people building the dam. Yue Rushuang was generous and gave each of them ten taels of silver. Pan and his son each gave one hundred taels of silver.
People all over the city were busy cleaning up their new houses. When they heard that the water control was successful and there would be a lion dance today, the whole city rushed to the Qiansha River to watch the fun.
Yue Rushuang was dressed in a bright red palace attire, and the eldest son was wearing a four-clawed python robe. The group went straight to the Qiansha River.
The emperor was dressed like a rich gentleman, and Lao Pan was dressed like an old butler.
The Qiansha River was full of people.
"This has not been repaired, and the embankment has not been raised."
"What did you fix?"
"Why did the water flow between the two peaks? There is an extra hole there."
Everyone was talking about it.
Yue Rushuang wrote a full page speech and brought a big speaker.
