Chapter 554 The Migration of the Whole Clan (2)
"Bring me the blueprint."

"Yes!" Ouyang Xin then handed over the drawings of the academy to Jing Yi.

Jingyi looked at it for a while, and frowned, "Is this a big academy the only one reservoir? What the academy fears most is fire, why don't there be more reservoirs?"

Ouyang Xin was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Jingyi to ask this question, so he turned his head to look at the observation history.

The observation history bowed his head and said: "Princess Qi, this, my subordinates are not fully aware of this. The blueprints were made by the adults in charge of fortifications in the Senate. The subordinates are only responsible for building according to the drawings."

"Who made this picture?"

"Princess Hui is the general master craftsman of the Council of Government Affairs, and the chief in charge of construction and construction affairs." Ouyang said.

"What about others? Did they come here?"

Ouyang Xin and Observation History looked at each other, "Back to Wangfei, this will be a master craftsman. He only came here to check the terrain beforehand. After the map was produced, he never came here."

Jingyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was already an extremely angry expression between her brows. She took the blueprint in her hand, turned around and got into the carriage, and said coldly, "Go to the Senate."

Soon, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Senate.Jingyi got off the carriage and looked at the plaque hanging high in the Council of State.This is the first time she has come here since the establishment of the Senate.The guards naturally knew that this was the carriage of Prince Ping's mansion. Although they had never seen Princess Ping in person, they had already made a good guess based on the situation.

"Is the lord in there?"

"Back to the princess, here."

"Can the princess go in?"

The guard was a little nervous and said, "Naturally. You are Princess Ping, so you can go in naturally."

Jingyi nodded, moved lightly with lotus steps, and entered the Yizhengyuan.

Just as Jingyi entered here, someone had already notified Yuanxi over there.Yuanxi was discussing with several officials about Liujun, when he heard that Jingyi had come, he was taken aback.Jingyi has never been to the Yizhengyuan, even if there is something important, she will always send the servants of the government to look for it, what happened today?
Jingyi entered the political hall, "Greetings to the prince."

"See Your Royal Highness."

Everyone had seen Li, Yuan Xi helped Jingyi up with his own hands, "Why are you here? But there is something important?"

Jingyi's face was still full of frost, and she threw the blueprint in her hand to Yuanxi, "Who made this? It's so stupid!"

Yuan Xi opened the blueprint without knowing why, raised his head and called out: "Go pass on Cao Lin!"

"Yiyi, what's wrong with this drawing?"

Jingyi said airily: "What you are going to build is an academy! But there is only one reservoir in such a huge academy! Yuanxi, this is the biggest flaw! Once the academy is built according to this blueprint, it will be fine if there is no fire. If there is a fire, the entire academy will be destroyed!"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi understood, "Fu Xiang, take a look."

Fu Da took the blueprint and looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "My lord, I remember that Cao Lin showed this blueprint to several veterans at that time. I remember that there were clearly three reservoirs designed on the blueprint. But why is there only one on this picture?"

Both Jingyi and Yuanxi were shocked, and another official echoed: "Fuxiang is right! At that time, I also saw it. There are indeed three reservoirs. What's going on?"

Yuan Xi glanced at Jing Yi, who also had a worried face, "It seems that this will be a master craftsman, and we have to find someone else to do it."

After a while, Cao Lin brought it over, "See the prince. I don't know why the prince is in such a hurry to pass on the lowly position?"

"Hmph! First, let's see if this blueprint is from your hand?"

Cao Lin was startled, and took a look at the blueprint thrown by Yuanxi, his face turned pale with fright, how did this blueprint get to the prince?Shouldn't it be in the hands of the observation history?Could it be?Cao Lin quickly reacted, "My lord, this picture is indeed from the hand of my humble minister. However, this is the first draft, not the final drawing approved by Fushang."

"Oh?" A very gentle smile appeared on Yuanxi's face, "Then Cao Qing, why are you talking about why this blueprint is in the hands of Observation History, who is in charge of supervising the construction of the academy?"

Cao Lin frightened and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me! I think it was because I was careless for a while, and I handed over the first draft to Mr. Shi Shi. I am convicted! I will go and get the blueprint and hand it over to you. Let the prince have a look."

After Cao Lin finished speaking, he hurriedly withdrew, followed by the prince's guards, to get the blueprint.

Jing Yi glanced at the people in the room, and those who stayed here were all Yuanxi's confidantes. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the people, she understood that they were all wondering if there was something tricky about it.

Si Hang hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm going to report to the princess, you will be a vulgar person in the end, and you don't understand these things. Is this cistern really that important? Even if there is no cistern, wouldn't it be important to have more large tanks in the courtyard?" That’s it? Why did you decide to build a reservoir?”

"The academy, the library, and some winemaking places are most afraid of this fire. Generally speaking, at least three reservoirs will be built in the academy, one is in the library, and the other is in the school building of the students. Nearby, one is in the school. This reservoir is set up underground, and the top is covered by some wooden or stone slabs. In case of water leakage, you can get water from it in time to fight the fire."

"It's located underground?"

"Exactly. This reservoir is at the entrance of the school and the library. In the event of a fire, you can get water nearby. In fact, what is drawn on this picture is just a very ordinary reservoir. Even an ordinary bookstore I'm afraid it won't work either."

Si Hang was puzzled, "Why?"

"This kind of cistern simply digs out a hole, then builds it with stones, and then fills it with water. This kind of cistern needs to change the water frequently, especially in summer, otherwise It will become smelly and extremely unpleasant. And it is extremely inconvenient to change the water."

Fu Xiang nodded, "What the princess said is very true! This first draft is indeed so. Because of this, the old man only took one look at it before rejecting it. Unexpectedly, it was still taken to the construction site to continue to use. This point , is indeed a bit unbelievable!"

"It stands to reason that such an extremely unreasonable first draft should not be preserved at all. Because it has no value of preservation! Moreover, I am surprised that a master who often makes such a draft would design such a first draft?"

After Jingyi finished speaking, she looked at Yuanxi.

Yuan Xi naturally understood what Jing Yi said. It seems that there are still mice in this Council!My heart is still too soft!It must be a way to get rid of this group of rats as soon as possible.

Soon, Cao Lin took the blueprint with the stamp of Fu Xiang on it.

Jingyi looked at the drawing carefully, and said with a smile: "The design of this drawing is extremely perfect! Look, my lord, these three reservoirs are actually running water. The water sources of the three reservoirs are all taken from this courtyard. A small pond is designed. Follow this water channel to reach the basement of the library. There is also a gate here. If the water needs to be replaced, just open the gate. The water here will be drained outside the academy. A farmland in the distance. It is convenient to change the water, and it does not waste water."
