Dahan first prince

Chapter 98 I beg you~
Not long after returning to the Crown Prince's womb, Liu Ying really waited for a visit from Shaofu Yangchengyan.

But it was slightly different from Liu Ying's expectation: Yang Chengyan didn't seem to have much feeling about what happened outside Weiyang Palace this afternoon.

To be precise, Yang Chengyan's attention was attracted by another matter.

"At home!"

After the ceremony, at Liu Ying's invitation, he sat down in the living room, and without waiting for Liu Ying to speak, he saw Yang Chengyan take out a piece of slightly yellowed burlap from his arms in a hurry.

After the piece of burlap was spread out by Yang Chengyan, Liu Ying stepped forward to check it, and couldn't help showing a strange expression.

"Young Mansion, this is...?"

Asking with doubts on her face, Liu Ying couldn't help lowering her head again, looking at the yellowed burlap.

As far as Liu Ying saw, this piece of burlap, which would never be used as an inner shirt, even among the people, seemed to be used by Yang Chengyan as a drawing paper.

On this 'drawing paper', only charcoal as thick as a thumb was used to replace a similar...

Something for sushi?
Seeing that Liu Ying looked at the "drawings" that she had rushed to make, showing a little puzzled expression, Yang Chengyan blushed suddenly.

But even so, Yang Chengyan's passion for not knowing where it came from was not extinguished by the doubts on Liu Ying's face.

"This thing...uh..."

"Have you heard at home that the thing used by hydraulic engineering to control rivers and canals is called: 埽?"

Hearing Yang Chengyan's words, Liu Ying just repeated in a little bewilderment, "埽? ', the confusion on the face couldn't help but get worse.

But seeing that Yang Chengyan was not panicked at all, he happily described the grand blueprint in his heart.

"At noon, the family came to the western suburbs and said: Pressing heavy objects on the bottom of the canal can prevent the river mud from being washed away by the water."

"After the dynasty was over, I was thinking hard, and just remembered this thing. The effect of fixing soil should be better than stone bricks, and it is cheap and easy to get!"

Hearing this, Liu Ying's weird face finally eased a little, and with a little curiosity, she stretched out her hand to Yang Chengyan and made a "please" gesture.

"Appreciate further details."

With Liu Ying's permission, Yang Chengyan suppressed his excitement a little bit, and then explained to Liu Ying little by little the thing that is dedicated to hydraulic engineering.

"In the land of Guanzhong and the Three Qin Dynasties, there have been many willows since ancient times; the Jingshui, Weishui, Luoshui and other waters, as well as the mountains in Guanzhong, have many gravels."

"The scorpion is made of willow soft branches to weave into a net, and the net is used as a quilt and mattress, with gravel less than an inch in diameter sandwiched in it, rolled up and then bundled with soft branches, and you can get it."

Speaking of this, Yang Chengyan was afraid that Liu Ying would not understand, and pointed to the 'sushi' painted on the burlap.

Seeing that Liu Ying still didn't show an expression of sudden realization as he expected, Yang Chengyan thought for a while, then picked up the burlap and tore it in half.

"Look at home, this cloth is a net made of willow branches."

With that said, Yang Chengyan touched his sleeves again, looked at the soles of his feet, and finally took out a money bag from his bosom.

Sprinkle the copper coins in the money bag on half a piece of burlap, lay it evenly, and then cover it with the other half piece of burlap to get a mini quilt with money as wadding and linen as cloth.

Then, Yang Chengyan carefully rolled the 'quilt' into the shape of sushi bit by bit like rolling sushi, and finally raised his head excitedly.

"So, can the family understand?"

"The money wrapped in the hemp is gravel; this thing is the scorpion!"

"Use this to press the soil at the bottom of the canal, and its effect of solidifying the soil is far better than the stone bricks stored in the Shaofu!"

"Besides, willow wood and gravel are all over Guanzhong, so it doesn't take much to get them!!!"

Watching Yang Chengyan vividly restore the production process of 'Yun', Liu Ying couldn't help but smiled and nodded, indicating that she already understood.

After constructing the scene in her mind, Liu Ying finally nodded in approval.

"Yes, Not Bad."

"Paving this material on the bottom and side of the canal is indeed better than stone bricks, and it is much cheaper."

As she said that, Liu Ying did not forget to turn her head with great interest: "In the past, what was the use of this thing for hydraulic workers?"

I can't blame Liu Ying for being so rare, but Liu Ying really can't figure it out, why didn't such a good thing be used in the past to pave the canal?

If it had been laid earlier, the current Zhengguo Canal would not be clogged with sand like that?
But when Yang Chengyan heard this, he only gave a stiff smile with a little shame.

"This thing was originally made by a watercraft craftsman, and it is used to block the breaches of rivers and canals."

"If there is a danger of the embankment of a large river or river being unstable, local governments often use this method to reinforce the embankment to prevent breaches."

"And spread it on the bottom and side of the canal..."

"Hey, it's been heard and heard, and no one has ever thought about it."

Hearing this, Liu Ying thought for a while, then nodded heavily.

"If that's the case, this renovation of the Zhengguo Canal will be of great use!"

The reason is very simple: the big rivers and rivers in the Yankou of Yangcheng must be those large natural rivers that cannot be artificially built in contemporary times!

And since the scorpion can be used to strengthen the embankment and block the breach in the governance of such a large river, then the small Zhengguo Canal is no problem.

And compared to the large amount of manpower required for mining and transportation of stone bricks, this 'Yun' is obviously easier to obtain, transport, and make.

It's very simple: send people to collect willows, pebbles and other small stones, send them all to the side of Zhengguo Canal, make them on the spot, and then roll them down along the side of the canal for a little laying!

Thinking of this, Liu Ying also felt a little excited.

"The first hundred miles of the Zhengguo Canal, except for the five miles paved with stone bricks, and the remaining 95 miles, should be used!"

"Even for the five miles paved with stone bricks, the sides of the canal should be secured with dong!"

Saying this with a little excitement, Liu Ying looked at Yang Chengyan with unshakable confidence.

——With 埽, Liu Ying will greatly reduce the difficulty and cost of Zhengguoqu renovation this time!

If managed properly, even the renovation period may be shortened by a quarter, or even more!
You must know that the [-] officials and slaves in the Shaofu can eat a thousand stones of grain every day just to eat!

Even if the construction period is shortened by three to five days, it will undoubtedly save a lot of money for the treasury and internal funds that are so poor that they are running out of money.

Thinking this way, Liu Ying was planning to praise Yang Chengyan, but seeing Yang Chengyan's complexion suddenly showed a bit of sadness.

"Mr. Yang?"

Hearing Liu Ying's slightly surprised question, Yang Chengyan finally sighed secretly, looking at Liu Ying with a hint of pleading.

"At home."

"Now that we have obtained the scorpion, there is a better strategy for consolidating the upper reaches of the Zhengguo Canal."

"That's it, can the family take back the original order, not to use the 20 stone bricks prepared by the Shaofu, and use the scorpion to renovate the Zhengguo Canal?"

　Hey, guess what?
