Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 19 The Well
Now that I heard that Chen Yi certainly has a way to cure the drought in Longxi.

The surprise in Wang Chizheng's eyes could not be stopped.

Chen Yi nodded inscrutablely, but then he sighed deeply with a sad expression on his face.

Xu Wanjun and Wang Chi looked at each other, wondering why Chen Yi did this?

Xu Wanjun's heart moved, and he said with worry: "Is it because this method is very difficult and difficult to achieve? It doesn't matter. Tell me, Zishang, it's best for the people in Longxi. No matter how difficult it is, I will find a way."

Chen Yi looked up and knew that Xu Wanjun had misunderstood, so he explained with a smile.

"Zicheng, it's not what you think. In the past two days, I inspected the surrounding environment of Longxi and found that although the land on the ground is relatively dry and the soil is loose, there is water source underground."

Xu Wanjun and Wang Chizheng listened quietly, and did not speak up, because they knew that what Chen Yi said at this time should be the main point.

"And after these few days of calculations, I have basically grasped the approximate location of the underground water, so as long as we transport the underground water to the ground, then all problems will be solved."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yi took out the map like a system package.

Of course, this is not the original map.

Chen Yi wasn't that stupid yet, letting people see his flaws.

So this map was redrawn by Chen Yi. Although it is not as detailed as the system gave, the general terrain and the location of the water source are marked.

Chen Yi reckoned that this matter would fall to him sooner or later. Anyway, he would supervise the work at that time, and the detailed system map would be used later, so there would be no doubts.

Xu Wanjun and Wang Chizheng looked at the distribution map of groundwater potential on the table in amazement.

Xu Wanjun nodded fiercely and patted his palm.

He smiled and said, "Zishang, I didn't expect you to have mastered such details. Yes, why didn't I expect that, but... Zishang... how can we bring water to the ground? Don't you mean What is..."

"well!"

"well!"

Chen Yi and Wang Chizheng spoke in unison, and then they looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, Xu Wanjun's eyes were shining brightly, bursting with infinite hope suddenly, but then they slid down the sky like a meteor, and slowly dimmed.

"Zishang, it's not me hitting you. If there is a well, the drought is really nothing. You also know that this well is not something that ordinary people can drill. Only in the Imperial City."

Xu Wanjun pointed to the dilapidated environment inside the house with a decadent tone.

"Zishang, look, basically every household here is like this. There is no money to dig a well. What's more, the technology of drilling a well is even more difficult, and many people will die."

Chen Yi patted Xu Wanjun on the shoulder with a confident smile on his face.

"Zicheng, do you think I'm the kind of person who talks nonsense? I won't open my mouth if I'm not sure, and it's related to the local people. How could I treat him like a joke? The tools for drilling wells, you rest assured."

As Chen Yi was talking, he took out another drawing. This is the drawing that Chen Yi really took the time to draw in the past two days.

Chen Yi recalled the corresponding tools he had seen before, and then made some improvements.

After all, this is the era of cold weapons, and there is no way to use electric things. Chen Yi can only use some other physical principles.

To achieve the same effect, of course, compared with electricity, the effect is definitely not a little bit worse.

However, Chen Yi is confident that in this era, it should be said that he is an invincible existence.

Chen Yi spread the picture on the desktop: "Look, this is the well-drilling tool I've been thinking about for the past two days."

Chen Yi and Xu Wanjun looked at the drawings on the table in bewilderment.

I have no idea, what is the use of this strange thing?

Is it really possible to drill a well?

It's the first time I've seen such a thing.

Chen Yi looked at Xu Wanjun, and Wang Chizheng looked at a daze, completely unable to understand the purpose of his machine.

Chen Yi felt that it would be too troublesome for him to explain, so he made a concluding speech: "You guys remember, this thing can help us dig wells."

Xu Wanjun smiled and nodded.

"I believe Zishang, if Zishang says it can be done, it will be done, but I think this tool needs to use iron, we don't have it in Longxi, if we want to produce it, we have to go back to the imperial capital."

Chen Yi sighed.

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about. I've just arrived in Longxi, and the situation here hasn't completely stabilized. If I leave... But we are bound to win this well, so the tools for drilling the well must be Get ready as soon as possible."

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment.

"It will take some time to produce this tool, but these people can't wait at all. We try our best to dig the well before winter, and strive to plant a batch of grain before the autumn harvest to ease the pressure on people's survival. "

Xu Wanjun nodded.

"I understand that if we go fast enough, it is very possible that the common people will have a batch of grain that can survive the winter, so that we can, and we don't need to ask the treasury for money."

When Wang Chizheng heard this, he didn't know why, but he also became excited.

"Great! In this case, let's make tools quickly."

Chen Yi hesitated again and again, his eyes suddenly showed a firm look, as if he had made a certain decision.

"In this way, I will go back to the imperial capital, go back and make tools for drilling wells, and then bring them back. I will leave it to you two here."

Xu Wanjun shook his head without even thinking about it.

"No way! We came here for the earthquake according to the decree. We just came here without the emperor's decree. Zishang, you can't go back without authorization. This is an anti-decree. If you get another copy, then you will ..."

Chen Yi directly made a decision.

"Okay, don't hesitate anymore. I've been thinking about this issue before, and there's no way to have both. Besides, which one is more important, my life or the thousands of people in Longxi? She Doesn't the Empress know?"

Chen Yi stopped him, and wanted to continue persuading Xu Wanjun.

"And don't forget, I am the only one who can use this well-digging tool now, and the Empress will not kill me. He still needs me to help Longxi improve the situation here. As for the future... let's talk about it later."

Xu Wanjun and Wang Chizheng felt suddenly.

Chen Yi's figure was so tall, under the illumination of the light, it seemed that Chen Yi was coated with a layer of Buddha's light.
