Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 462 Water Tower
"I'm talking about Brother Chen! How do you want me to say hello to you?"

"In the morning we were still talking and drinking, listening to your feats in the Daliao Kingdom, how long have you been in prison again?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice watched Chen Yi walk into the cell skillfully and then closed the door himself, he really couldn't laugh or cry.

This lord and empress are really born to fight each other, and they can quarrel casually.

"Hmph, that Hunjun is still unwilling to give up, and is still vigorously looking for immortal masters in private to refine the elixir of life."

Chen Yi was still extremely angry at the moment, feeling that the empress was hopeless.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry did not dare to answer, he was not as capable as Chen Yi, and many people knew about the fact that the Empress secretly asked someone to refine the elixir of life, but there was nothing he could do about it.

With a few curses, Chen Yi's anger gradually dissipated, and he felt that it was no longer worth being angry for the empress.

This person is rotten to the root.

In a blink of an eye, he started chatting with the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, discussing whether he should have a hot pot to eat at night.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry outside also received the news that Chen Yi scolded the Empress in the study of the Empress and was imprisoned again. The feelings of helplessness and shock in his heart were exactly the same as those of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

However, Minister of the Ministry of Industry remembered what Chen Yi had said to him before, and an idea gradually formed in his mind.

He felt that relying on this thing might be able to intercede for Chen Yi, although the empress might find a reason to release him in two days.

But the so-called favor is not icing on the cake, but a gift in the snow.

This is the sophistication of the world.

And the empress who put Chen Yi in prison hid in the boudoir alone after fumbling in the study.

While beating and tearing the pillow, he was cursing.

"Dead Chen Yi, smelly Chen Yi, rotten Chen Yi, big bastard."

"How dare you scold me!"

"I'm a female empress, so powerful and terrifying, okay, you dare to scold me in front of my face."

"I think refining the elixir is not for the sake of the country of Dawu Kingdom?"

"Fortunately, I'm still a little tempted by you."

"Why can't you follow me more and praise me more."

The Empress became more and more aggrieved as she cursed, she buried her face in the pillow and sobbed softly.

No matter how emperor, no matter how royal, but after all, she is still a young woman.

For the first time, I have someone who makes my heart move, but I can't even talk happily, and some only have endless quarrels and scolding.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice at night because of his relationship with the chief assistant. He originally wanted to condolences to Chen Yi.

After all, the empress was thrown into prison as soon as he made a great contribution, so he must be upset.

But when he came in and saw Chen Yi, he didn't look sad at all.

It was a joy to eat with Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and a few cell bosses around a copper hot pot.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is here. Have you eaten, brother? Let's come and have some."

When Chen Yi saw Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, he immediately beckoned him to sit down happily, and the jailer next to him took out a new pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry shrugged his shoulders, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and joined the hot pot army without hesitation.

After eating and drinking enough, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry expressed his intention to come to Chen Yi.

He took out a few sketches from his pocket and asked Chen Yi for advice.

"Chen Yi, I heard you talk about a water fetching tool made of bamboo tubes before. I have some ideas based on this, please help me to see."

Chen Yi took the drawings and studied them carefully, and combined with the words of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he found that the idea of ​​the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was not the water pipe?
It seems that Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry wants to realize that every household can get water freely. After all, not every household has a well. Some people have to travel far to bring back two buckets of water for daily water.

It can be said to be very hard work, and the efficiency is also very low.

What's more, some families only have the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and it is even more difficult to fetch water.

If the idea of ​​running water can really be realized, it will be a great thing for people's livelihood.

"Brother, your idea is very good. It is a good idea that benefits the country and the people. Chen Yi admires it."

"But there is a problem."

"what is the problem?"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't wait to get the answer from Chen Yi. In fact, he always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

"power!"

"power?"

"Yes, you see, if I let go of the chopsticks in my hand, the chopsticks will fall to the ground by themselves."

"But if the chopsticks want to return to the previous height, they must be lifted by external force, and the same is true for water."

"Water at high places can naturally flow down by itself, but what about water at low places?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry suddenly realized that even if the water pipes were installed, there was no power, and the water could not reach the other end through the pipes.

"so what should I do now?"

"It's very simple, since the water in the lower place cannot be the source, let the water in the lower place become the water in the higher place."

"We can build water towers!"

Afterwards, Chen Yi explained the concept and construction method of the water tower to Minister of Industry in detail.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was fascinated by listening to it, and kept recording it on straw paper.

It wasn't until Chen Yi stopped for a while that he woke up like a dream.

"Chen Yi, you are truly a god!"

"Brother is awesome. If it wasn't for my brother's eagerness, I would be able to figure it out by myself in a few days."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry laughed out loud, thinking that Chen Yi was not as ignorant of the world as he imagined, but he was very impatient with the Empress.

Thinking of this, Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly bid farewell to Chen Yi.

After returning home, he wrote down the relevant details of the water tower on the paper one by one, and drew detailed drawings, according to the drawing method that Chen Yi once taught him - three views.

Early the next morning, early morning.

The empress sat lazily on the dragon chair, obviously not in a good mood yet.

Eunuch Meng stepped forward and shouted.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

"Chen, I have something to play!"

The empress raised her eyelids, and it was Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry who stood up.

"Go ahead."

"I have a plan to improve the lives of the people and present it to Your Highness. If it can be implemented, it will be of great benefit to the people!"

Eunuch Meng handed over the stack of papers handed over by Minister of Industry to the Empress.

The empress looked casually at first, but the more she looked, the brighter her eyes became.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, I didn't expect you to have such a talent?"

If the water tower mentioned on this paper is popularized, it will indeed be of great benefit to people's livelihood as the Ministry of Industry Minister said.

This made the Empress take a high view of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who was not very attractive before.

"I report to Your Majesty, I dare not be greedy for merit. This item was completed jointly by Chen Yi and Chen Shilang, but the core part of it was conceived by Chen Shilang."

"Your Majesty, if Chen Shilang can preside over the layout and construction of the water tower, it will definitely benefit the people and the country."

The Empress already understood what Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry meant, sighed lightly, and ordered Chen Yi to be released to preside over the construction of the water tower.

And she went back to the bedroom with some disappointment.

Chen Yi, you always have a way to make the widow beg you to come out of the prison.
