This precious rain lasted for two days and two nights, and it was not until the morning of the third day that the rain gradually subsided.
When the golden morning light pierced the misty morning fog, the air was filled with the fragrance of water vapor and soil.
Seeing this, Jiang Pengji gradually calmed down.
Just in case, she took Zhang Ping and the craftsmen from the carpentry workshop to inspect the canals and reservoirs to make sure that the water diversion was smooth, and she was a little relieved.
If the drought is followed by floods, the day will be unbearable.
The dry mountain stream has the sound of gurgling water again, and the leaves that have been withered for a summer stretched their limbs and gradually regained their spirits.
"The rain stopped—"
The pond in the courtyard was filled with clean and clear water again. Under the command of Ta Xue, the maid put a few goldfish raised in the water tank into it and added water plants. On the color of joy, with a child of innocence.
After a rain, the weather is getting cooler.
The air also faded from the dullness and heat before, taking a deep breath, the spleen and lungs became a little more moist.
Jiang Pengji put on the new autumn clothes made by the maid, and the material was a little thicker than the summer clothes.
Due to the influence of the fusion force, the genes of this body have been improved. At the age of seventeen, he is already taller than some adult men. Converted to the length unit used by the audience in the live broadcast room, it is about one meter seventy-five.
Looking at this growth, it is estimated that it can grow a few more centimeters.
In terms of the average height of men and women in this era, her size is quite rare.
"Lang Jun, you are awake."
Ta Xue was the first to notice her gaze, and greeted her with a smile, while several other maids saluted.
Qing Yishui's beautiful girl, the gentleman in the live broadcast room shouted, Jiang Pengji's mood was also relieved a lot.
"Yeah." She nodded and said, "I went to the Political Affairs Office."
The rain is hanging on the branches and dripping down, and Feng Jin, who has been frowning over the drought, is also refreshed at this time.
"My lord, good morning."
Feng Jin said hello, and after getting a reply, he continued to work on the task at hand.
Jiang Pengji turned over the bamboo slips on her desk and asked, "Has Xiheng not come to the government affairs hall today?"
Feng Jin asked, "Is the lord looking for him?"
Zhang Ping's government affairs are not good, and he is obsessed with all kinds of carpentry work, so he may not come to the government affairs hall once in ten days and a half months.
If you go to the wood workshop to arrest people, Zhang Ping will definitely be there, and you will be sure if you are caught.
Jiang Pengji said, "The rain in the first two days was terrifying, and I was afraid of floods... I plan to take Xiheng to see it again..."
Many floods and stagnant water are not due to too much rain, but because the drainage system under the city is not good enough to lead the water out in time, resulting in the accumulation of excess water in one place. When Jiang Pengji rebuilt Xiangyang County, he also considered the construction of sewers, but the area of Xiangyang County was not large, and the sewers built were not that complicated. When the construction of Xiangyang County was completed, this part was also completed.
The rain in the first two days was terrifying. She thought that Xiangyang County was about to be flooded. Fortunately, both the old and new sewer drainage systems were strong. Coupled with the several canals built before the summer, the water pressure was stabilized, even the farmland. Didn't suffer much either.
Feng Jin laughed dumbly, and couldn't help but think of the scene where Jiang Pengji was wearing a mink robe two days ago and took people to inspect, and her heart was a little warm.
"The lord is sympathetic to the people's sentiments, great kindness."
Before the two said a few words, Zhang Ping, an otaku craftsman, came over. He was dressed in dark brown and wore a hat on his head. He looked very down-to-earth. Jiang Pengji put down what she was doing and went out with Zhang Ping.
There is a big difference between the sewers of this era and the sewers known to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Modern sewers are more like underground passages, excluding urban sewage and rainstorms and floods. However, for the manpower of this era, this project is a huge amount of engineering and has many disadvantages. Whoever builds such a sewer is a fool.
Why do you say that
First, the price-performance ratio is too low, and the materials of ancient times cannot meet such a difficult building structure. Even if it can be built, the final labor cost and material cost are too huge, which is not realistic at all, so Jiang Pengji has not considered this at all.
Second, the form of warfare in this era also determines that the sewer is unrealistic. If the enemy army touches the city through the sewers and catches the guards in the city by surprise, who should be blamed then? This is no longer a pit father, this is to pit the people of the entire city.
In fact, the so-called sewers now are just gullies all over the city, and the drainage capacity is quite poor.
In the rainy season, stagnant water often occurs. If it is worse, it will be flooded to flood the entire city.
After Jiang Pengji built the brick kiln, she also specially ordered the craftsmen to burn hollow tubes with a thick diameter. Each hollow tube in the shape of a long tube can be inlaid with each other. Finally, these fired hollow pipes are buried in them, connected in series with each other, and connected to the drainage outlet... Such drainage pipes are spread throughout Xiangyang County.
If it had rained so heavily in the past, Xiangyang County would have been submerged by knee-length rain, but today is a big difference, and the road is still intact.
The two found a tea shop to sit down.
Thinking of the urgent letter received yesterday, Jiang Pengji smiled dumbly, "... I have asked the other three counties to source materials on the spot to burn this kind of hollow tube. When the construction is really completed, the people of the three counties don't have to worry about being slaughtered when they sleep. The rain flooded…”
Except for Xiangyang County, Jiaoping County, Maolin County, and Cheng'an County, all three counties were flooded by heavy rain, which was as deep as knees.
Fortunately, the rain did not fall for too long, and it will be able to recede in more than half a day.
Zhang Ping said, "My lord has been very thoughtful, it is not too late for this matter. This summer has not yet fallen, but now there is only a heavy rain, which is very good. If it is replaced by previous years, the rain is abundant, and I am afraid that Fengyi County will be flooded by the rain. Flooded, the fields suffered."
Since following Jiang Pengji, Zhang Ping has not been free for a day, but he is happy.
I never thought that the little craftsmanship of the Mo family could play such a big role.
If you can specialize in this area, and let the Mohist skills penetrate into all aspects of people's lives, the final status will not be any lower than that of Confucianism.
In order to survive the rainy season next year, the drainage system must be done well.
Drainage pipes are not used in wars, but they are related to the quality of life of the people. Jiang Pengji naturally attaches great importance to them.
The two chatted in a low voice, and the other people in the tea shop also subconsciously restrained their voices and did not dare to disturb the two.
Because Jiang Pengji often appears in the streets and alleys, she doesn't pretend to be a county chief, and she helps the elderly farmers with farm work when she is bored. There are no people in Xiangyang County who don't know her. It is normal for Malu to talk about political affairs.
In the corner, the young man in gray old clothes frowned slightly.
