…

With his life at stake, Wang Shouzhe’s mind turned fast.

He looked at Liu Ruolan with a doting face and said deeply: “My husband really likes your wife’s craftsmanship too much. If you do it for your husband every day, how can you control your husband? Wouldn’t you let your husband overeat? Over time, it is naturally detrimental to the body, isn’t it murdering my husband?”

“From this, the lady can cook occasionally, and this can also make my husband have some thoughts.”

The cold look on Liu Ruolan’s face gradually dissipated, and her pretty eyes glanced at Wang Shouzhe happily: “Husband is really talented, even compliments are so thrilling and ingenious.”

In order to divert Liu Ruolan’s attention, Wang Shouzhe wrapped her arms around her waist and said in a low voice, “I’ve been out of the house these days, and everything is inconvenient. It’s been a long time since I learned the mastery of the lady’s ‘True Magic of Xuanshui’. .”

Liu Ruolan’s pretty face blushed slightly, and she said in a low voice, “I may have not checked the progress of my husband’s ‘Changchun True Art’ cultivation for a long time, but the two children are still studying in the study next door…”

The couple went on a business trip for too long, and they didn’t catch their homework for a long time, which caused the two little guys to let themselves go, and now they are making up for the progress.

Bears are really troublesome.

Wang Shouzhe shook his head regretfully, just as he was about to focus on the sand table.

Liu Ruolan blushed, bit her lip and said, “Forget it~ Anyway, they don’t delay their homework for a day or two. I asked Qiaoer to take care of the children. Let’s go to Shuiyuetian Pavilion to practice~”

“okay.”

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Shouzhe felt that he still couldn’t beat Liu Ruolan, so he did what he said.

After half an hour.

in the library.

Wang Liyao and Wang Zong’an, the siblings, were doing their homework with serious faces.

Mother said she would come to check her homework in a while.

At a young age, they already knew how to watch their words, and knew that they would rather offend their father a hundred times at home than make their mother angry once.

Therefore, they wrote hard and worked very hard.

However, after waiting for a long time, I didn’t see my mother come to check my homework.

“Aunt Qiao’er.” Wang Liyao blinked her beautiful eyes and said suspiciously, “mother, shouldn’t my mother go to practice with my father again?”

“This…” Qiao’er broke into a cold sweat and explained with a dry smile, “Miss and uncle are both geniuses, so it’s okay to practice hard.”

The two siblings looked at each other.

Come on, today’s homework has been done in vain.

My father and mother never came back from this practice for two or three days.

“An’an, let’s go, my sister will take you out to play.” Wang Liyao suddenly became energetic.

“This, my sister is not very good.” Wang Zongan was a little guilty.

He’s not as bold as his sister.

“What are you afraid of? It’s not that you don’t know your parents, they just think we’re an eyesore and find a place to hide and be quiet.”

As soon as Wang Liyao grabbed Wang Zongan, she swaggered out and said, “Aunt Qiao’er, you have to help us with some cover.”

Qiao’er was speechless, and she was buried in her heart.

Miss, uncle, how many years have you used that excuse?

Even the little miss can’t hide it, can you introduce something new?

…

For the next few days, the weather was rainy again.

The An River’s water level keeps rising.

Wang Shouzhe received information that the middle and lower reaches of the Anjiang River have been flooded in many places with low terrain, resulting in waterlogging.

Because Changningwei is on the north side of Anjiang River, the terrain along the coast is steep and the inland terrain is high. As long as the drainage is proper, it will not be flooded for a while.

The terrain of Ping’an Town is actually mostly hills, and there are many low-lying places. The overall terrain is much lower than the north of Anjiang River.

This is why, in this area of Ping’an Town, no one has come to open up wasteland.

If this place is a good piece of land, where can we get Old Ancestor Zhou Xuan?

But for the Wang family, Ping’an Town is their foundation, and they have no choice but to manage them carefully.

Water conservancy projects never happen overnight.

In the past, Wang Shouzhe has never relaxed about this.

The dredging and filling of Zhuwei Lake is just the beginning.

Over the years, he has been dredging river channels, developing water channels, consolidating embankments, and building flood gates.

This torrential rain is also the time to test his hard work in the past eight or nine years.

The entire Wang family, and even many of the Wang family’s collateral children, participated in this flood control work.

Bear the brunt of the Anjiang embankment.

Since the ancestor Zhou Xuan, he has been building dikes and reinforcing them.

Every year, part of the human and material resources are invested in it.

When Wang Shouzhe came here, he paid more attention to the construction and consolidation of the dikes in the Ping An section of Anjiang.

In addition to being rich, today’s Ping An Wang also holds a big weapon in his hand, that is the legendary cement.

The simple stone, gravel and cement, mixed with water according to the proportion, is the famous concrete.

However, the time left for Wang Shouzhe was too short. At present, only stone slopes and concrete river banks have been built in the most dangerous sections, which only accounted for about one-third of the one hundred and forty-five miles.

But even so, compared with the original river embankment, the flood resistance ability is no longer comparable.

Braving the rain, Wang Shouzhe checked the river bank all the way.

As the water level rose, some of the originally safe river embankments had some hidden dangers. He immediately dispatched his tribesmen to organize tenant farmers and civilians to temporarily reinforce those embankments.

At the same time, he also checked the drainage gate.

On earth, some flood gates use high-power pumps to pump water.

It is not difficult to make a simple water pump, the difficulty is that there is no electricity in this world.

However, human wisdom is infinite.

In this world, there are naturally some waterwheels for irrigation.

Wang Shouzhe has done a lot of work over the years, which naturally includes studying the improvement plan of the waterwheel with professionals.

Among the three flood gates, the Fenggu Gate at Fenggu Farm was built by the ancestor Zhou Xuan.

In the past eight years, Wang Shouzhe has repaired and rebuilt the gate many times, making it a major drainage outlet.

Today, there is a “water dragon array” on the left and right of the tall gate.

“Water Dragon Formation” sounds very nice, but it is actually a large waterwheel with a relatively simple structure.

When the river flows, it will push the waterwheel like a small Ferris wheel to rotate.

The rotation of the waterwheel works on a reciprocating pump with a simple structure through the relatively precise and durable bearings and gears made by the refiner.

And this reciprocating pump will pump the water in the gate to Anjiang.

The waterways in the gates extend in all directions, connecting all the waterways and lakes in Ping’an Town.

Wang Shouzhe has a lot of knowledge of the earth. Although these are not within the scope of his mastery, he knows the general direction, and there is no shortage of smart craftsmen and refiners in the world.

Under the cooperation of the two sides, there is today’s “water dragon array”.

Of course, this large waterwheel is not directly placed in the river.

Wang Shouzhe drove piles at the edge of the river, and built a large foundation with concrete, forming a figure-eight channel with a wide front and a narrow back with the river bank of the gate.

In this way, more water can come in through the bell mouth, and with the narrowing of the canal at the rear, the water flow speed will be faster, and more power will be generated for the waterwheel.

In front of the waterwheel, there is a winch lift gate with a width of two feet.

When the waterwheel is not required to operate, the water flow can be cut off simply by lowering the gate.

In addition, there is an iron grid at the mouth of the bell to intercept all kinds of large garbage or ferocious aquatic beasts washed down by the water flow, preventing damage to the waterwheel.

The two water dragon array projects at Fenggu Gate are very simple in principle and structure, but it took Wang Shouzhe five years to communicate with craftsmen and refiners, and kept trying and improving with small structures. Thousands of dry gold.

Of course, the effect is also very obvious.

The person in charge of managing this gate is a capable descendant of the Wang family.

As soon as he saw Wang Shouzhe, he greeted him and said excitedly, “Report to the Patriarch, the two water dragon formations are running very smoothly.”

The huge waterwheel rotates stably in the turbulent water channel. It seems to be slow, but in fact its speed is not slow. It is only because the outer circumference of the waterwheel is relatively large that it looks slow.

Driven by the waterwheel, water continuously spewed out of the pipe mouth aimed at Anjiang, like two large white water dragons.

Such a scene is the origin of the name of the water dragon formation!

“Twelve o’clock mark, once the water dragon array fails, repair it at all costs.”

Wang Shouzhe was quite proud when he saw that the Water Dragon Array, which he had worked hard for many years and invested heavily in, played a positive role.

He regards Ping’an Town as his territory and his home, and will naturally think of doing everything possible to make it like an iron barrel, hoping that it can withstand all kinds of natural disasters.

It has been calculated before that when a large water dragon array is running at full speed, it can drain about 200,000 cubic meters a day.

And this kind of water dragon array has a total of six in the three drainage gates.

Running at full speed, it can drain about 1.2 million cubic meters a day.

Sounds like a big number.

But in fact, taking Zhuwei Lake as an example, Zhuwei Lake has about 10,000 mu of water, and when it is full of water, it has about 28 million cubic meters of water.

These six large-scale water dragon arrays are running at full speed, and it will take more than 20 days to empty Zhuwei Lake!

Not to mention, the water content of the large and small rivers and canals in Ping’an Town, as well as the small lakes that are dotted with stars.

Because of this, before the arrival of the rainy season every year, the six water dragon arrays have to start running in advance to lower the water level of the rivers and lakes in the entire Ping’an Town, so as to prevent the embarrassing situation that the flood season is too late to drain the water.

And it is still raining constantly. Even if most of the rainwater is absorbed by the land or enters the groundwater and other channels, the only small part of the water left is discharged into the river channel is not a small amount.

Because of this, even if the six large-scale water dragon arrays are running at full capacity, the water in the river is still rising little by little.

Slowly, but still rising.

Fortunately, before the rainy season, the drainage began in advance, so that the water level in Ping’an Town was at a lower state.

Otherwise, maybe many wheat fields have been flooded with river water now.

Wang Shouzhe’s expression was a little solemn.

After all, six water dragon formations are still too few.

Even if this year’s flood season is far worse than the two floods in history, it’s almost at the limit of the water dragon.

After eight years, the gradually built water conservancy project is still only a prototype. Wang Shouzhe thought to himself that once this flood season is over, we must increase investment in water conservancy construction again.

Anyway, the entire Ping’an Town now belongs to the Wang family, no matter how much investment is made, it is only a long-term investment.

The next six or seven days, the entire Wang family led the 40,000 people in Ping’an Town into the intense flood fight.

At this time, no outsider can help Wang.

After all, the flood season is fierce, and everywhere is threatened by floods.

During this period, three embankments were breached, and the situation almost got out of control at one point.

Wang Shouzhe and his wife were personally on the front line and devoted themselves to fighting the flood.

In the face of the mighty power of nature, the role they can play now is quite limited, but with them in charge, everyone will have the backbone.

With the concerted efforts of the Wang family and all the townspeople, they just blocked the gap again and again and prevented the occurrence of floods.

finally.

After two consecutive days of clear skies, the turbulent water flow in Anjiang finally eased slightly, and the total water level began to drop slowly, dropping by more than half a meter in two days.

This also shows that the flood season has finally passed.

This also means that Ping’an Town successfully survived the calamity this time, and has survived the flood season when it is most prone to floods.

However, everyone in Ping’an Town still did not relax their vigilance, and still worked together to consolidate the weak points of the embankment and prevent the recurrence of flood seasons.

So, another few days passed.

The water level of the Anjiang River continued to drop, and the water potential gradually calmed down.

The flood season was finally over, and Ping’an Town was immediately caught up in cheers and celebrations.

This time, the flood season is fierce. If it was more than ten or twenty years ago, flood disasters were almost inevitable and would cause great harm.

But this time, except for a certain reduction in production after waterlogging in some areas, the overall grain output has remained at a relatively high level.

Most importantly, only a few people died in this flood season.

This is a great victory!

Although Wang’s reputation in Ping’an Town has already exploded, but after this time, people’s hearts have been raised again by a large level.

There were celebrations everywhere in Ping’an Town, but Wang Shouzhe and his wife were paralyzed in their house and did not go out for two days.

They were all exhausted.

It was not until two days later that Wang Shouzhe’s confidant “love general” Wang Mei secretly came to report the work, and Wang Shouzhe barely regained his energy.

Wang Shouzhe secretly met Wang Mei in the study.

He flipped through the various information compiled by Wang Mei, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Haha~ After so many years, he put down so many decoys, and the mastermind behind the scenes sixty years ago finally couldn’t hold back and revealed his flaws!

Next, I am afraid that the situation will rise again.

The entire Changning Guard is probably about to enter a sudden change in the situation.

“Wang Mei, thank you for your hard work.” Wang Shouzhe glanced at Wang Mei with a slightly complicated expression.

The reason why she looked complicated was because of her outfit today.

Her dress is obviously similar to the uniform style of the female disciples of the Zifu Academy. She is valiant and feminine.

The main thing is.

Her sorcerer makeup has reached a stage of innovation.

She wore a ponytail, her eyebrows were slightly raised, her face was frosty, and she was sassy and heroic, as if she had the temperament of a certain senior and goddess.

Throw her to the school, and she must be another popular goddess senior.
