"Ahem!" Qi Rongxiao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like this, "Fanzhi, let's talk about next year's flood control. The river water is rising every year, and the dam has to be reinforced and increased every year. It's miserable, what do you think?"

"The river is rising? Is it the sediment brought down from the upper reaches?" Thanks to more than ten years of basic education in the Celestial Dynasty, Si Wei still has some similar knowledge of geography.

"How do you know?" asked the aide sitting at the top.

"The upper reaches of the river will pass through areas with soft geology, right? The upper reaches of the river will take away the soil. When the water potential slows down here, the soil will be deposited. After a long time, it will become an above-ground river. Once the breach occurs, the nearby farmland and houses will be destroyed. You will suffer.” Isn’t that what the Yellow River is like?Both geography and history have told about the tragedy of the Yellow River breach.

"That's why we build dams every year. As long as the dams are strong, we'll be fine, right?" Another aide said.

Si Wei grabbed Zhan'er's little hand and waved it, "How high can you build the box? The higher it is, the less stable it is. Of course, it's okay if it gets smaller as you go up, but if the embankment is not thick enough, it won't be able to stop the flood in summer. River water." Although he is a science student, these are all superficial theoretical knowledge, and Si Wei's words are in a way.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Qi Rongxiao also thought it was not a good idea to keep building dams.

"I've never seen the river, so is the river now higher than the land on both sides?" Si Wei didn't want anyone to answer him, so he went on, "The easiest way is to change the course."

"Changing lanes!" Several staff members exclaimed at the same time.The diversion of rivers is a last resort. At that time, the surrounding people have almost no other choice but to wait for death. Since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, the few river diversions have caused countless deaths and injuries, and the national strength has been greatly damaged. Now This ignorant child even opened his mouth to say "change the road", what is his intention?

"Well, the diversion is not to let the river change its own course." Si Wei doesn't think that the river diversion is a big problem, mainly because he used to live in an era where the river was good enough, and if the river diverts, it won't happen in a few hundred years. have!

"Don't let the river change by itself, do you want the river to listen to you? Is the son the god of the river?" The person who said this was an acquaintance, who used to be called Qiao'er to practice calligraphy, but was slapped by Si Wei and Shao Yao.Now that the husband saw similar faces, it was inevitable that he would speak a little aggressively.

"I'm not the god of the river, but I can let it go where I want it to go. The water flows downhill. If you understand this, the river water can also obey your orders!" Si Wei disagreed.

Qi Rongxiao thought for a while, "Is there any other way? Changing the river's course is not a trivial matter, otherwise it will become a disaster."

"The other thing is to clean up the river!" Since we can only go the old way, we can only let the water level drop.

"Clean up the river! It's easy to say, the shallowest part of the river is more than ten meters deep, and people can't hold their breath if they dive down. How to clean it?" Mr.

The husband's tone was a bit aggressive, but the question was very reasonable, so Qi Rongxiao just gave him a hard look with a straight face, but didn't say anything.Si Wei suddenly remembered that this was not the era he lived in, and sand dredgers could operate underwater tens of meters deep. "That's troublesome, but it's not impossible. Taking advantage of the reduced river water in winter, build a dam to keep the river upstream, and then hurry up to clean up the silt at the bottom of the river."

"Although it sounds troublesome, it doesn't seem impossible..." Qi Rongxiao said while thinking about the feasibility of implementation.

"Cleaning up the river is not done once, but every year, and the embankment should be repaired at any time." Si Wei felt that he should explain the disadvantages to a few people first. "Because the river will sink sediment here as long as it flows through here, so to ensure that the river will not flood, it is necessary to clear the river every year."

"It's not as convenient as building a dam!" said the chief aide, stroking his goatee.

"Well, building a dam won't cause problems in the short term, it's much easier than cleaning up the river." But still the same sentence, the higher the dam, the weaker it is. "However, if trees are planted upstream to fix the soft sand, the river course will be cleared once every ten or eight years."

When Si Wei said these words, he kept playing with Zhan'er's little fleshy hand, making the little guy "giggle" and laugh non-stop.He didn't think it was such a serious topic at all, and he had never seen the situation of the river, and what he said was only the most theoretical stuff in the book, but he didn't expect how much these words would inspire everyone present.

The problem that had troubled the staff for a long time was solved by Si Wei in a few words. Although it was a very idealized thing, it was much better than their being confused!The image of Si Wei in the hearts of several staff members instantly grew.They still wanted to discuss the details with Si Wei, but they saw Si Wei stood up holding Zhan'er, "It's getting late, I have to prepare food for my brother, so I'll take my leave first."

Si Wei didn't wait for Qi Rongxiao to say anything, he bent over and saluted and left. When he reached the door, he stopped suddenly, "I don't know if there is any water conservancy project built around here? If not, build a reservoir. In summer, when there is a lot of water, it will be used for storage." Water is used for flood control, and releasing water when the dry season comes is also beneficial for irrigation. If it is too late, there is a lake, the reason is the same.”

Si Wei was about to go out as he said that, but accidentally bumped into someone who came in, "I'm sorry, my lord." The man apologized hastily, and then rushed into the room to report to Qi Rongxiao: "Master Hou, a letter from the capital just said that the emperor The itinerary of the southern tour was postponed and changed to six months later."

"What?" This was great news for Qi Rongxiao.At that time, Kong Qiaozhen had already given birth to a child, so she could come back and continue to be an "old lady".If there was a chance before this, it would be good for the "old lady" to die of illness, but now she is a high-ranking imperial lady, and the royal family will inevitably send someone, so it is hard to hide it.Or, another "assassination"?

What Si Wei thought at this time was similar to what Qi Rongxiao thought, but he thought more, and he wanted to take Qiao'er away after everything settled.As for Kong Qiaozhen, he wanted to find a good family for her, and if that didn't work, he would take her with him, and if he revealed his secrets, he would simply explain the matter clearly.At that time, they were small and small, and they would not make any big troubles.

"Well, it has nothing to do with us that the emperor postponed the trip, we just need to do the errands that the emperor asked." Qi Rongxiao's face did not show anything, and he calmly ordered his subordinates.

"Also," the person who reported the letter still had something to say, "Master Hou, who is in charge of the construction of the palace, has sent a greeting card, inviting Lord Hou to talk about it."

"Do you know what's going on?" Qi Rongxiao is not familiar with that Master Hou, so it is estimated that there will be no good banquets and no good meetings.

"It seems that there is a problem with the construction of the palace." The messenger scratched his head, "There is trouble in the transportation of wood and stone, and the construction period may not be in time. Would you like to ask Lord Hou for help?"

"The construction period is too late? Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Qi Rongxiao was born as a military general, and his staff were not all gentlemen, but there were also a few people with a bad temper. What a fart, now that the emperor delayed the schedule, he said that the palace can't be built?"

"Do you listen to people farting?" The staff sitting at the top gave the speaker a sideways glance, "Do you think why the emperor delayed the trip for no reason? The backing behind this Lord Hou is very strong!" Whoever can influence the emperor's decision, the whole court will Just three or two, who did Master Hou pick up on?

Qi Rongxiao exchanged glances with several staff members, and Si Wei knew that it would be better if he didn't listen to the next topic, so he left Qi Rongxiao's "office" with Xiao Zhan'er in his arms, and went to Jinglanyuan to make scallion pancakes for his younger brother.

Thinking that they had been away from Jinglanyuan for a long time, and that her sister hadn't cooked since she came, and that there was nothing to eat in Jinglanyuan's small kitchen, Si Wei went to the big kitchen first before going to the small kitchen.

Although the cook in the big kitchen had never seen Si Wei, he also heard that Lord Hou had brought the old lady's younger brother back, so when he saw Si Wei, he immediately stepped forward to greet him respectfully.

Si Wei explained the purpose of his visit, and the cook immediately went to his helpers to bring the fresh ingredients delivered to the house today to Si Wei for him to choose.The chefs in Qi Mansion have been immersed in cooking for many years, so the choice of ingredients is certainly not too bad. In addition to fresh vegetables, there are also half-cooked pigs, chickens, ducks, and fish.

"Just tell me what you want to eat, young master, you should try your best." The cook salivated and moved closer.

Si Wei smiled and didn't answer, and after walking around among the ingredients, "After you have processed this pig, leave me some pork chops and pork bones, and the chicken, too. Chop it into pieces for me after removing the hair. And lamb? Bring some too! After washing the fish, put one on it for me, and two vegetables."

Anyway, I have to cook, so let's cook two dishes for Lord Hou by the way.No matter what, Master Hou spoke up, and Si Wei felt that it would be embarrassing for him not to cook for him next time.However, I wasted too much time in the meeting hall today, and it was late at this time, without the help of Haitang and Shaoyao, Si Wei felt that he had no way to take care of Zhan'er and cook at the same time. Anyway, the big kitchen was full of people, so he asked for help It's understandable to fight, right?

Si Wei decided to make a pot of incense, stir-fried mutton with shredded ginger, sweet and sour fish, and stir-fried some vegetables. There should be some leftovers from the small dishes he made in Jinglanyuan, and the home-cooked meals are enough for the table.

There were a lot of people in the big kitchen, and the few ingredients were quickly packed. Seeing Si Wei holding the young master, the chef immediately sent someone to send the things to Jinglan Garden and asked the little helper to help the young master.Si Wei thanked him, and when he walked out, he caught a glimpse of peeled walnuts in the kitchen and asked for another small bag.Later, I will make amber walnuts for Xiao Zhaner to eat and play, and he will cook with his hands free.

Si Wei walked leisurely towards Jinglan Garden with Zhan'er in his arms, recalling the recipes of several dishes while walking.Now that autumn has entered, it is a good season for tonic.The Yiguoxiang and Ginger Stir-fried Lamb that Si Wei chose are both nourishing dishes.Lord Hou has been busy running around for the past six months, and has also experienced the pain of losing his father. Even if his body is hardened, he will suffer losses. It is right to take advantage of this time to make up for it...

I also want to thank Mo Fang and Master Xiaoqi for their mines, ╭(╯3╰)╮
