I heard Yang Zijin cough slightly and say, "Well... Senior Liang went to the dam after waking up. He said he was going to survey, but he hasn't come back yet."
"Did he go alone?" Mo Li frowned slightly after hearing this, and then asked Yang Zijin.
Yang Zijin nodded.
"I know, I'll go find him right now." Li Qiye said and turned around to go out.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone outside the door say, "No, I'm back."
When he looked around, he saw that Liang Cheng's body was covered in mud, and there was some on his face.
"Senior Liang, why didn't you wait for me to go with you? The road over there was washed away by the flood and it is extremely difficult to walk." Seeing this, Mo Li hurriedly walked to Liang Cheng and said to him.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Liang Cheng pulled his face down, looked at Mo Li and said, "Why, do you think this old man like me is useless?"
When Liang Cheng said this, Mo Li didn't know how to reply to him.
"Senior Liang, you misunderstood. Mo Li is worried about your safety." At this time, Yang Zijin on the side walked forward and said to Liang Cheng with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Liang Cheng glanced at Mo Li at this time, and then said, "Do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry."
"Yes, Senior Liang, please come inside." Li Li said quickly at this time.
In the room, Qiao Shu, Dean Shen and others were all seated. At this time, they saw a dirty old man walking in and couldn't help but look at him.
Qiao Shu instinctively covered her nose with a handkerchief.
Liang Cheng saw an empty seat next to him and sat down.
Regardless of how others looked at him, he ate alone.
At this time, Yang Zijin walked forward and introduced to everyone, "This is Craftsman Liang, who was invited by the Marquis to rebuild the dam this time."
"It turns out it's Craftsman Liang. I've heard about Craftsman Liang in the Imperial City. I didn't expect to see him today. I'm disrespectful." After hearing this, Shen Yang stood up and said to Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng was seen eating the food without raising his head.
Seeing this, Yang Zijin quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Dean Shen, I think Senior Liang is starving. Everyone, please eat quickly. The food will be cold soon."
After hearing this, Shen Yang smiled awkwardly at Yang Zijin and then sat down.
Then Yang Zijin said to Mo Li, "Hurry up and sit down and eat."
Mo Li nodded, walked to the seat next to Liang Cheng and sat down.
Yang Zijin also sat down. She looked at the table and saw that the potatoes she asked Xiaolan to bring into the kitchen today were ready, including stir-fried shredded potatoes and braised potato cubes.
And everyone loved both dishes.
After dinner, everyone left, and then Yang Zijing called out to Mo Li.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Li Li said.
At this time, Yang Zijin asked Mo Li, "How do the two plates of potatoes on the dinner table today taste?"
When Yang Zijin asked this, Li Qiye was a little confused, "It tastes pretty good."
"Mo Li, I have an idea." Yang Zijin said again at this time.
Li Moli looked at Yang Zijin and said, "Princess Princess, please speak."
"The two plates of potatoes we eat tonight are the ones I planted when we first came to build the capital." Yang Zijin continued.
After hearing this, Li Li couldn't help but ask, "Did the princess grow these potatoes tonight?"
"Yes, the capital has a large population. Since there is no food to buy outside, it is not a long-term solution to continue like this. We have to find a way ourselves." Yang Zijin nodded and said.
Li Qiye frowned slightly after hearing this, "The princess wants everyone to grow potatoes? But will this last too long?"
"No, the soil here in Jiandu is already fertile, and due to the climate, these potatoes can be eaten in just one month, and the yield is very optimistic." Yang Zijin explained to Mo Li.
At this time, Li Li nodded, and then said, "But I have to trouble the princess to inform these people about the method of growing potatoes."
"This is no problem, but you have to go to other places to buy some potatoes first." Seeing that Mo Li agreed, Yang Zijing continued.
"Then I'll go and tell people to go."
Li Qiye said and walked out.
Yang Zijin asked Xiaolan during this period that Jiandu is not rich in potatoes. It grows rice several seasons a year, because a large amount of rice must be handed over to the government for each autumn harvest.
They also have to feed their own family, so every household has no extra land to grow other things.
However, Xiaolan told her that she had buried a sprouted potato in the yard before, and many potatoes grew later.
Later, when the neighbors learned about it, they imitated her and buried the whole potatoes in the yard instead of cutting them into pieces like the princess did.
After hearing this, Yang Zijin decided to express this idea. Now as long as he can fill his stomach, it is a good thing.
Calculate the days and plant the potatoes now. When the food is eaten up, the potatoes will be harvested. At that time, not only can you provide food and clothing, but you can also transport them to other places for sale or exchange for what you need.
Once things stabilize, they can plant their original crops again!
In the end, Yang Zijin probably didn't expect that just by teaching people in Jiandu to grow potatoes, every household in Jiandu would become rich in a short time.
Liang Cheng returned to the house and locked himself up.
During the day, he went to survey the topography of the dam. There was not much change from when he came here before, except that the river channel became wider.
After one night, Liang Cheng finally drew the composition of the dam.
However, he always feels that the internal structure of the dam is not strong enough. If the dam's life is to be extended, the internal structure must be given priority.
But no matter how he changed it, he still felt dissatisfied and felt that something was missing.
For this reason, Liang Cheng was very worried.
Later, he decided to take a look at the dam, and maybe he could think of a better way.
So he opened the door, held the drawing between his arms, and walked outside.
Before he even walked out of the yard, the drawings fell from Liang Cheng's body.
After talking to Mo Li about planting potatoes yesterday, Yang Zijin wanted to see the reactions of the victims. She just walked out of the house and saw a piece of paper falling in the yard.
So she walked forward and picked it up. Yang Zijin frowned after looking at it. This drawing looked like it should be the dam drawing drawn by Liang Cheng. How could it fall into the yard.
At this time, she walked to the house where Liang Cheng lived, gently knocked on the door and shouted, "Senior Liang, are you there?"
Hearing no movement, Yang Zijin called out again, "Senior Liang, are you there?"
Still no one answered her, so Liang Cheng must have gone out, and then he dropped the drawings in the courtyard.
If he found that the drawings were gone, he would definitely come back to look for them, so Yang Zijin walked to the stone table in the yard and sat down. Then she would wait for Liang Cheng to come back to find the drawings, and then she would go out.
Yang Zijin, who sat down, looked carefully at the drawings drawn by Liang Cheng.
I couldn't help but admire him. As expected, people with high skills have weird tempers!
Its design patterns are not inferior to modern styles at all.
The drainage holes on the top can release water when rainfall is heavy, and there are grooves that can store water to irrigate crops in dry weather.
Yang Zijin then looked at it and saw that there were some areas that needed improvement in the internal structure of the dam.
Modern flood control dams generally use triangular frames, which are not only strong but can also reduce the impact of floods.
It's just that Liang Cheng used a square frame for the inner frame. Although it looks strong, it still won't be able to withstand a flood. After all, the impact of water is immeasurable.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yang Zijin saw Liang Cheng coming back from outside in a hurry and hurriedly looking for something.
Yang Zijin naturally knew that Liang Cheng was looking for blueprints.
At this time, Yang Zijin stood up and walked forward, taking out the drawing, "Senior Liang, are you looking for this?"
When Liang Cheng heard the sound, he raised his head and saw the drawing in Yang Zijin's hand. He quickly took it over and looked at it carefully.
Then he smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's it. Found it, found it."
"Thank you." Liang Cheng said to Yang Zijin at this time, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Yang Zijin said at this time, "I think there is something that Senior Liang can change a little bit."
"What did you say?" After hearing this, Liang Cheng stopped, turned around and asked Yang Zijin.
At this time, Yang Zijin repeated, "I said, there is something that Senior Liang can change."
"Can you understand this drawing?" Liang Cheng looked at Yang Zijin with disbelief.
After hearing this, Yang Zijin smiled and said, "A little bit."
"Then tell me which part needs to be changed." At this time, Liang Cheng asked doubtfully.
At this time, Yang Zijin walked aside and sat down, and then said, "The structure of the dam."
What Yang Zijin said was exactly the problem that troubled Liang Cheng.
"Does the princess know what needs to be changed?" Liang Cheng walked up to Yang Zijin with the drawings, sat down, and asked quickly.
Yang Zijin was not around, and continued, "I looked at the drawings just now, and I feel that the drawings drawn by Senior Liang are very considerate of the people. However, in terms of extending the service life of the dam, I feel that Senior Liang has put the underlying structure Changing to a triangular frame would be more suitable.”
"Triangular frame, yes, I never thought that the triangular frame can not only save materials, but also reduce the damage to the dam caused by the impact of water." Liang Cheng understood everything and said excitedly.
Then he looked at Yang Zijing in disbelief, and he couldn't help but respect Yang Zijing in his heart.
"Thank you for your advice, Princess. The old man was rude to the Princess before. I hope the Princess will not argue with me, an old man." At this time, Liang Cheng said and saluted Yang Zijin.
Yang Zijin smiled and shook his head at this time, "Senior Liang, there is no need to be polite. I just expressed my opinion. Senior Liang still needs to complete the rest."
Sure enough, Liang Cheng, like Uncle Liu, would not condescend to the other's status. Only like-minded people could win their eyes.
"Then I'll go and change the drawings." Liang Cheng said and walked towards his house with the drawings in hand.
And while walking, he shook his head and said, "Why didn't I think of it? Why didn't I think of it."
Yang Zijin couldn't help but laugh after looking at it, and then she walked down the mountain.
As soon as he walked down the mountain, he saw Mo Li.
