Princess Consort Is No Pushover

"Okay, I listen to my concubine." Chu Xuanchen said, looking at Zhang Shifan, "Master Zhang, you have countless elite soldiers under your command, can you borrow five thousand people to dig ponds with me?"

Zhang Shifan suddenly snorted coldly, "I'm sorry, my officers and soldiers are used to defend our home and country, not to play games with you! Please forgive me for not agreeing with the method of the princess, and I have no one to borrow. If something happens, I will go ahead first."

After Zhang Shifan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves coldly, and walked out arrogantly.

Seeing his appearance, a cold light flashed in Chu Xuanchen's eyes, and there was a strong killing intent on his body.

"My lord, the officials and others have also retired first." At this time, those officials who were collaborating with Zhang Shifan just now also hurried out.

Su Cheng stood there, neither advancing nor retreating.

A few officials did not leave, and one of them, Yang Shixun, said: "My lord, if the concubine's method is... feasible, then the officials are willing to... cooperate with the work of the lord."

Chu Xuanchen glanced at Yang Shixun, he was quite surprised that this person was willing to stay.

"The lower officials are also at the disposal of the prince." It was Chen Xi who spoke.

Chu Xuanchen glanced at Chen Xi lightly, this upright official Chen Xi, who was clearly in the same group as Su Cheng and Zhang Shifan, would actually stay.

It seemed that he wanted to break into him, gain his trust, and get news about him.

He pretended not to notice it, and said: "Okay, I have your help. From now on, you go to gather people, and tomorrow morning I will go to dig the pond with the king!"

"Yes, my lord." After the officials finished speaking, they all retreated.

Chu Xuanchen looked at Yun Ruoyue, "Yue'er, what is this method of digging a pond? How come I haven't heard of it before?"

Yun Ruoyue said: "This pond digging is actually a water storage pond. The professional name is a tiao storage pond. It is a method unique to our country, but not here. This method is very advanced and can really control the flood. "

"Storage pond? It sounds unusual. It should be able to regulate and store water. I think it will work," Chu Xuanchen said.

As long as it was Yue'er's idea, he would completely believe it.

"Yes, that's what it means. If it doesn't work, I don't dare to boast to them. From tomorrow, you have to order people to dig ponds in the lower reaches of the Jiajiang River. There are many lower reaches, and each of the tributaries will dig a big pond." Pond, let this pond be connected with the river. The pond can store the flood flood from the upstream, and it can also disperse the flood water. If the flood water does not pour down, Jiangzhou will not be flooded."

"At that time, you have to send someone to set up a dam by the pond and connect the dam to the ditch. When the flood season increases, you have to open the gate to release the water and put the water into the river. When it is not the flood season, we can close it. The sluice gate stores rainwater in the pond, and then the people can use the water in the pond to irrigate crops, raise fish and shrimp, and develop aquaculture."

After hearing this, Chu Xuanchen gave her a thumbs up, "This is really a way to have the best of both worlds. It can not only resist floods, but also irrigate crops and raise fish. Yue'er, you are amazing!"

Yun Ruoyue blinked playfully, "Of course, who told your wife to eat more than you!"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help laughing, because according to modern age, she was several years older than Chu Xuanchen.

Does she count as an old cow eating young grass?

"You eat more than this king? This king doesn't believe it." Chu Xuanchen said.
