Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 28
After Chen Yi finished speaking, the expression on his face relaxed.

He said with a flattering face: "But don't worry, sit down and let me analyze it for you slowly."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry sat down obediently, and put the drawings on the table.

A look of all ears.

Chen Yi took out another piece of paper from his pocket, put it on the table, and made a gesture of invitation.

"My lord, please take a look. This is the topographic map I surveyed in Longxi during this time."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry came to the table in half-belief, maybe he didn't look at it for a long time, so he raised his head and asked directly: "What is this, what kind of topographic map? How many lines are there?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was right. This topographic map of groundwater is indeed just a few lines.

Because he is not the one that Chen Yi copied before.

It even said that Chen Yi took out these two blueprints today, not the two that were dedicated to the Empress yesterday.

Before Chen Yi entered the palace, he guessed that the blueprints handed over would never be reissued, so these two drawings were re-copied by Chen Yi in advance, regarding the distribution of groundwater.

Chen Yi felt that Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry did not need to know very clearly, so he simply drew a few strokes.

Because Chen Yi vaguely remembered that it seemed that it was illegal to draw maps privately in this Great Wu Kingdom.

Chen Yi hadn't been arrested so easily before, probably because Chen Yijian took the slant and became a side ball.

After all, groundwater is groundwater, and no one can see it.

Chen Yi said that he drew it casually, and no one else could find anything wrong with it.

So now Chen Yi felt that, to be on the safe side, it was better for him to know the detailed map of the distribution of groundwater resources provided by the system.

Chen Yi coughed softly, and turned on the fooling mode.

"Don't underestimate these threads, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, they are all water that can save the people of Longxi!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked at Chen Yi suspiciously, and Chen Yi looked upright and very serious.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry subconsciously asked: "Really? Then what does this have to do with me? What does it have to do with your previous drawing? Chen Shilang, don't play tricks on me."

Chen Yi pretended to be inscrutable, pointing to the drawings on the table and saying.

"This is the groundwater in Longxi. I found that there is a lot of water underground in Longxi. If there is a drought and God doesn't rain, then we can pump out the water from the ground and use it. Naturally, we don't have to worry about running out of water."

The Ministry of Industry Minister heard what Chen Yi said, and immediately reacted.

"Pull it out?! Are you talking about a well?"

Chen Yi took advantage of the opportunity to flatter him: "My lord really has a good opinion. I told other people, but no one could react. It seems that your lord is indeed second to none in this field."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry smiled a little proudly, as if he had suddenly opened up Ren Xu's second vein, picked out the piece of paper below, looked at Chen Yi and asked.

"Isn't this just a tool for digging wells?"

Chen Yi nodded affirmatively. Chen Yi thought that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry would be very interested, and discussed with himself, but unexpectedly, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry suddenly changed his face, and even said that he was glaring.

"This is nonsense, Chen Shilang, I know you are worried about some people, but this is not a trivial matter. It can't be solved by just drawing two blueprints!"

Shang Shuhu of the Ministry of Industry noticed that his tone of voice was a little blunt.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately said earnestly.

"Chen Shilang, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about you, I just think that instead of doing something that I don't know if it will be successful, it's better to use the money to buy food to be more practical, don't you think so?"

Chen Yi was at a loss at first, and then he understood what Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was worried about.

"My lord! Don't worry, I'm not joking. How can I joke about the safety of the people in Longxi in the future? It's not like you don't know me. Anyone can make this joke, and neither can I."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry nodded his head in agreement.

What Chen Yi said was true. He was able to directly contradict the empress in the early dynasty for the sake of the people.

Most people really don't have this courage, and this kind of mind is not ordinary. Chen Yi really doesn't seem like a person who would make jokes about this kind of people's livelihood.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry can believe that Chen Yi is serious, but are the blueprints drawn by Chen Yi and the tools for digging wells reliable?

There was some hesitation and hesitation in Shangshu's heart.

However, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately thought that the method of the imperial bank was thought up by Chen Yi, which not only solved the money of the imperial court, but also solved the problem of food for disaster relief in Longxi.

And the influence of the imperial bank is not limited to this.

More problems may be solved in the future. Thinking about it this way, Chen Yi is not the kind of foolhardy person.

In other words, this well-drilling tool may not necessarily fail, and just like what Chen Yi himself said just now, he may not care much about other things.

But Chen Yi will definitely put the people's livelihood at the forefront, there is no doubt about it.

Because for the sake of the people, Chen Yi contradicted and scolded the Empress not once or twice, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was almost used to it.

Thinking of this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry seemed to have some confidence in Chen Yi. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry picked up the blueprint again, lowered his head to ponder for a while, and then raised his head.

He said tentatively, "Why don't I trust Chen Shilang once? Let's try?"

Chen Yi nodded fiercely, stood up directly, and bowed deeply to Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu! This junior really can't thank you for supporting me with such full authority, but don't worry, my lord, I will definitely make up for this credit in the future and tell the people all over the world. I believe that when the time comes, my lord will definitely be famous. Through the ages."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry originally thought about it in his heart.

When did he fully support it? !
He remembered himself, he just said to give it a try, and make another decision if it succeeds.

Why did Chen Yi directly decide for him? !
But then, when Minister of the Ministry of Industry heard the words behind Chen Yi, he seemed to have seen that the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and his name, celebrity Qianshi was praised by others, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry thought it was beautiful when he thought about it.

So naturally there was no refutation of Chen Yi.

That's how it settled.

So far, Chen Yi has initially reached a cooperation agreement with the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry has full authority to cooperate with Chen Yi to study this well-drilling tool.

Chen Yi cheated, first step, victory!

The minister of the Ministry of Industry kept his word and said that he had full support, so he really didn't slack off at all. This can be regarded as the straightforwardness of the man of science and technology.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately dispatched his craftsmen to take Chen Yi into the craftsman's studio.

Following Chen Yi, I discussed with the girls the tools for drilling wells, as well as the craftsmanship and techniques of making, as well as the size and function of tools, parts.
