Ye Jiannan also looked at her with a curious look.

Ye Qing sweated silently, lying without drafting: "I had a dream last night. In the dream, a golden dragon was entrenched in the deep water. When the rainstorm came, it could have soared to the sky with the water. But a corner of the pool suddenly collapsed, and the water flowed away, and the golden dragon was trapped at the bottom of the pool. Today, with His Majesty, I came to the reservoir with my Majesty, and I found that the terrain around the reservoir was exactly the same as the pool in my dream. I felt that having such a dream, maybe God was warning about something."

As soon as this statement was made, the officials following Xiao Jue were shocked at first, and then whispered.

The ancients feared ghosts and gods, and seeing the expressions of those officials, most of them believed her words.

Her fabrication of such a dream story also captured the fact that ancient people were more superstitious about this.

The predecessors had the saying that the dragon was hiding in the shallows. She now used this allusion to use the golden dragon in her dream to imply that Xiao Jue is trapped in the south of the Yangtze River is now trapped by floods.

It is not easy to find the address for building the reservoir again. If it weren't for Mr. Huang's yelling, Ye Qing would probably have just talked to Ye Jiannan like this.

After all, although she has the identity of a queen, she has many things to worry about. The engineer has awe of nature and life, but it does not mean that she has to take on the responsibility of saving the world and the people. It is not easy to get Xiao Jue and the officials of the court to agree to give up the existing reservoir address. It is even more thankless to use any reason to convince civil and military officials.

In any era, guns are all birds who are ahead.

In this situation, it is quite a bit too much to put the duck on the shelves.

However, with the extension of the construction period of the reservoir today, the hidden dangers of sandy geology are becoming more and more obvious.

Although the imperial court sent officials to repair the reservoir every year, the sand around the dam was still stable after all, and the reservoir did not need to be over-maintained. Only those officials who came to repair the reservoir were profitable.

According to the literature records that Ye Qing had previously viewed, in the past two years, water leakage around the dam has occurred from time to time. Although the dam has been reinforced, the geology around the reservoir is sandy. When the water rises, it will first destroy the sandstone landforms on both sides of the dam. Once there is a drain, even the strong dam will be irresistible under the impact of a strong water flow.

In other words, if the reservoir address is not moved, no matter how the current reservoir is repaired, there will be another flood.

Facing her answer, Xiao Jue was obviously not so easy to fool, and asked: "When I was in the carriage, why didn't I hear the queen mention it?"

Ye Qing lowered his head slightly and said, "After all, it is a major issue related to people's livelihood. I dare not mention it to Your Majesty rashly because of a dream. I just saw my elder brother and saw that my elder brother fell into the water. I thought something was strange, so I planned to tell my elder brother about the dream. I never thought that Lord Huang just listened to the beginning and thought more."

After she explained this, it became reasonable.

Xiao Jue's eyes were deep and swept to the side of Mr. Huang. Mr. Huang was like a defeated rooster, and his head was hung down.

Anyway, the matter has come to this point, and the reservoir here has just begun to be rebuilt, and it has not spent much manpower and financial resources. Ye Qing felt that it would be better to give this advice and ask Xiao Jue to re-elect the address of the reservoir to solve the flood problems that are troubled every year, which can also be considered as a benefit to the people.

She said: "I have also heard a lot about reservoirs during my days in Yangzhou. I heard that Yangzhou reservoirs have suffered from frequent floods in recent years. Sometimes, in a year, the imperial court has to send several groups of people to repair them. People in the south of the Yangtze River have also suffered as a result. If God really warns me, I dare to ask Your Majesty to move the reservoir address."

Xiao Jue stared at her, not knowing what he was thinking. After thinking for a while, he said: "It's a big deal to move the reservoir, so I'll still have a long-term plan with the ministers."

Because of this, the project to rebuild the reservoir was temporarily ransacked.

What Ye Qing did not expect was that after Xiao Jue discussed with the ministers, he finally adopted the plan proposed by Ye Jiannan at the beginning - not to find a new address to move the reservoir, and directly repair the river channel from the source: reduce the width of the river channel and dig the accumulated mud and sand from the riverbed to solve the problem of flooding.

This way, we will abandon the harvest in the lower reaches of the Jianghuai River this year and use the dry season to repair the rivers, so there will be no worry about flooding next year.

As for rebuilding the reservoir, the site selection is a problem first. With the productivity technology of this era, foundations and other things may not be completed within a year or two.

Moreover, the method of building reservoirs in Dahan Dynasty was proposed by someone decades ago. Although later generations have been exploring on the basis of what they have before, because the time is too short, progress has always been slow.

This is also why the predecessors knew that the place where the reservoir is built is sandy, but the reservoir is still built here. They do not have the experience of their predecessors to refer to, and have overcome the problems in the landform and terrain by themselves, but they have not yet considered this layer of geology.

Ye Qing is a civil engineering profession. She can know this knowledge, which is also accumulated in her original world through thousands of years of experience of her ancestors.

Therefore, Ye Qing did not feel that the water conservancy engineering technology of Dahan Dynasty was backward.

On the contrary, after these people came up with a way to build a reservoir for water storage and flood control, they took into account many issues after more than ten years of development, and she could feel their wisdom.

After all, from a scientific perspective, all human civilizations have their own development history. The civilization in this world has just not yet developed to its most brilliant time, so there is no reason to use a civilization at its heyday to mock others for growing up and starting civilizations.

Without the opposition from Mr. Huang, the final water control process was soon finalized.

With a general direction, the group of people from the Ministry of Works are not just a waste of time. Knowing what to do next, Xiao Jue put the matter of water control aside.

Because Xiao Jue finally adopted Ye Jiannan's method, and Ye Jiannan finally brought people to build a floating bridge downstream of the river, which completely blocked the mouth of Mr. Huang. The people from the Ministry of Works also became respectful to Ye Jiannan.

Ye Qing took the time to make a detailed plan to reduce the width of the river and dig the silt on the riverbed. He originally wanted to use Ye Jiannan's hands to hand it over to the Ministry of Works to provide references to the people of the Ministry of Works so that they would not take detours.

Little did they know that as soon as the plan came to the hands of the Ministry of Works officials, it was presented to Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue stared at the circles with the rings of the tree trunks for a while, but couldn't understand what it meant. He had to ask the officials of the Ministry of Works with a cold face: "What is the drawing on this picture?"

The officials of the Ministry of Works only knew that this was sent by Ye Jiannan, but they did not know that it was the queen's masterpiece, and said: "The eldest son of Ye told the old minister that this picture was called...it was called 'same-high line'."

He thought for a long time, but he didn't remember what the name of the picture Ye Jiannan said at that time. He remembered that Ye Jiannan said that the height on the same line on the picture was the same, and he thought it was probably such a name.

"'Same high line'?" Xiao Jue's eyebrows were almost twisted into a lump.

The official from the Ministry of Works nodded: "Yes, Master Ye said that this drawing is used to judge the height of the landform. Let us refer to this drawing when modifying the direction of some rivers."

Xiao Jue was very upset because he couldn't understand the contour lines. He had already learned from the secret guard that this picture was painted by Ye Qing, and any advice from experts is a pretext.

He asked the officials of the Ministry of Works: "Do you think what Ye Jiannan said is reasonable?"

After saying this, he added: "Answer truthfully."

The official from the Ministry of Works said honestly: "Although the methods proposed by Master Ye are shocking, they have made sense after careful consideration. These methods are all feasible. The old minister has discussed the same problem with his colleagues before, but after discussing it, he finally found that the solution proposed by Master Ye is the safest."

He pondered the emperor's thoughts and said, "Mr. Ye is quite talented in water conservancy. If he works in the Ministry of Works in the future, his future will inevitably be limitless."

Xiao Jue was somewhat interested in whether to let Ye Jiannan join the Ministry of Works and only waved his hand to let the official of the Ministry of Works and went down.

The officials of the Ministry of Works were unable to figure out the emperor's thoughts for a while, so they had to bow and retreat.

He was the only one left in the room, Xiao Jue was staring at the contour line and murmured: "'Same high line'? Where did the queen learn these strange things?"

It was an adventure for him to be reborn, but after he was reborn, he could clearly feel that his queen was a little different from his previous impression.

At first, he blamed all this on his failure to pay much attention to Ye Qing before, so he didn't know much about her. But now all this obviously confirmed his initial suspicion.

If Ye Qing is not the queen, who is she?

In his previous life, the woman who was nominally his queen blocked an arrow for him with her life.

In this life, he wanted to repay her as much as he could. He would give his queen the favor he deserved, but what he had made him fall in love with was not the kindness of life-saving, nor the identity of the queen. He didn't even know when this intention began.

Maybe it was her cute look when she was yawning in the palace to help him review memorials, maybe it was when she was helping the victims in the Liu family, or maybe it was when the poison attacked and she was in the rain without hesitation...

When he came to his senses, the man had already developed a root in her heart. The one still had a barb. If he insisted on pulling it out, it would bring out a bloody and painful feeling.

What a pity, he is a person without a future.

But it seems that this is good. If she is not his queen and he is going to die, he will take her with him.

He had almost forgotten what joy felt like, but when he was reborn, he could feel the soft thing in his left chest and jump happily.

It seems that in the winter of his childhood, he occasionally sneaked out of the cold palace, stole a chicken leg in the imperial kitchen, and then roasted a handful of fire under the stove.

Just thinking about it makes people feel comfortable.

In this world, he has never had anything to miss, nor has he particularly wanted to take away.

But from now on, there will be.

These thoughts obviously cannot be known to his "queen". Xiao Jue is very sure that if Ye Qing knew, he would definitely be scared away.

She was smarter than he thought, and she had many strange things. He wanted to be a calm hunter and let the prey stay in his trap with peace of mind, and he could not notice his thoughts of closing the net.

It was nearly two months since the palace was revealed. As the officers and soldiers helped the refugees rebuild their houses, another batch of disaster relief silver from the court was also allocated.

Xiao Jue was personally in charge, and each of the 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver sent to the refugees. The people were grateful to the court, and Xiao Jue's popularity reached an unprecedented high.

In mid-July, the army returned to the court.

This time, Ye Qing finally didn't have to ride a pony carriage anymore. The transportation was a luxury pony carriage that she took before leaving the palace. There were four or five thousand imperial guards in front and back, which really showed the majesty of the royal family.

When they set off, the people of Jiangnan still traveled far away.

Ye Qing sat in the carriage and looked back with the curtains. Seeing this, he was very moved: "Your Majesty is deeply loved by the people during his trip to Jiangnan."

She turned her head to look at Xiao Jue. She thought he would be more happy on his face, but his expression was still faint. Instead, he looked at his own eyes, deep and weird. The sun shone brightly, and Ye Qing inexplicably got goosebumps.

Xiao Jue suddenly asked her: "If one day I am going, will the queen be buried with her?"

The author has something to say:

Ye Qing: What? Aren’t those little demon concubines treated me as the treatment I deserve? Why do I still have to be buried with me as the queen? (Scratch my head)

Dog Emperor: Because I like you.

Ye Qing:...Thank you, please take back your likes.
