Chapter 542: rainstorm? Catastrophe
Chapter 542 Heavy rain? Catastrophe
Nangong Anshan said: "Think of these as housewarming gifts from me to His Majesty. They are just some fruit trees, not worth much."
"This... well, thank you very much." Duguli took the ministers to a pavilion and sat down again, and asked: "Everyone, have you all looked at the concrete road leading to the outside world from Liuye Village?"
General Chai said: "Your Majesty, for the construction of the imperial palace and the residences of the ministers, everyone has stayed in Lanyun City recently. The generals sometimes have to go out to suppress bandits. There is really no time. However, General Nangongxian often If you want to go home, you must have seen it."
Nan Gongxian said respectfully: "What General Chai said is true."
Jin Xiantao asked: "General Nangong, what is the difference between walking on concrete roads and walking on land?"
Nangong Xiandao: "In fact, everyone knows the difference. Just compare the stone roads in the city. The biggest advantage of the cement road is that it is more convenient for the people to travel. There is no need to delay the trip because of the rain, and the speed of the carriage is also faster. , just like in the city, you don’t have to worry about getting your feet muddy when it rains.”
"My family has a lot of horse-drawn carriages that go to and from the shops in the city to deliver goods every day. Since the cement road is repaired, it can save a lot of time every day. You don't have to get up so early every day, and you can go to bed earlier at night. The response among the villagers is very good. good."
"Big trees are planted on both sides of the road, with a lot of shade. Even if they are driving in the hot noon, the people are very relaxed."
Wu Daren said: "But I heard that horses running on concrete roads are more tiring than running on land. If a horse runs for a long time, its hooves will be worn out."
Nangong Anshan glanced at Master Wu, and sneered in her heart.
It seems that Mr. Wu wants to express his anger for his wife.
But she doesn't mind, she is also a human being, and sometimes she makes mistakes, and if someone finds fault, if she makes a mistake, it won't cause serious consequences.
All the ministers looked at Master Wu at the same time.
Dare to fight against the envoy, bold enough.
Seeing that many people were looking at her worriedly, Nangong Anshan said calmly: "Master Wu is right, the concrete floor is hard, and if horses run, their feet are indeed more likely to be damaged than running on dirt. "
Dugu Li said: "Then do you have a solution?"
Nangong Anshan smiled and said: "Of course there is a solution. Generally speaking, if a person sits in a carriage, the speed of the carriage will not be too fast. In that case, you only need to pay attention to the protection of the horse's hoof."
"And places with concrete roads are places with a lot of people. In that kind of places, the speed of the car can't be too fast."
"The roads in the city are also stone roads, and the horses in the city used to walk in the same way."
"Of course, there are also times when it is necessary to rush for 800 miles, so there are original dirt official roads next to every cement road, so that it will not affect the horse's travel."
Nan Gongji, Nan Gongxian and the others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
This is indeed possible.
Dugu Li said: "Ashan is right, the cement road outside the city is similar to the stone brick road inside the city, and the horses in the city can still walk. But there are many people in the city, and horses are generally not allowed to run, and there are few people outside the city. Horses really need to run faster, and Ah Shan's solution is really good."
Nangong Ji said: "Master Wu, do you have any concerns?"
Master Wu hurriedly said: "No more, please don't misunderstand your majesty and ministers. I just think about those horses, and I don't want the horses to suffer because of the concrete road."
Jin Xiantao said: "Your Excellency is really sympathetic to Ma'er. Does it mean that if the National Teacher has no solution, you will ask His Majesty to give up building cement roads, and it will still be so difficult for the people to travel in the future?"
Master Wu immediately knelt down and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I don't mean that. I really just think about your majesty. Horses are important means of transportation and also important tools of war. If the horse is damaged, it will At a critical moment, it will harm the interests of our Azure Dragon Nation."
All the ministers suddenly couldn't say anything.
Horses are strategic resources, and they are indeed very important.
Dugu Li said: "Okay, get up, Mr. Wu's concerns are not unreasonable, since the national teacher has a solution in advance, let's call it a day."
Master Wu said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After speaking, he turned around again, and said to Nangong Anshan: "National Teacher, I'm so sorry for the offense just now."
Nangong Anshan said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's all for His Majesty's sake."
Dugu Li smiled and said: "Okay, let's go to other places to see."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
Nangong Anshan left the palace, returned to Qiandi for lunch, and then selected three days for Duguli to decide, while she left Qiandi first and returned to Liuye Village.
Nangong Anshan entered the space when she went back, and began to tinker.
After finishing tinkering, she went to the field.
She hasn't prepared the fruit trees for the palace for the time being, and she won't be able to use them now. Natural disasters are coming soon.
…
Morning morning the next day.
Yan Yimin said: "Your Majesty, can you announce your return time now?"
Dugu Li said: "Yes, the national teacher chose a day for me yesterday, and the nearest day is the first day of August."
As soon as the words fell, the courtiers were in an uproar.
"Today is the second day of July. If you move into the palace on the first day of August, you will have to wait a month."
"This is too long. Your Majesty has lived in Qiandi for a year and a half. Now that the palace is built, you should move in as soon as possible."
"Weichen also thinks it should be like this. From today to the first day of August, there must be good days. Why don't you ask the national teacher to choose another good day."
"Yes, yes, National Teacher, let's choose a date that is closer, so that His Majesty can live in the palace as soon as possible."
…
Nan Gongji glanced at his daughter, why did he choose the first day of August, which was her birthday.
Nangong Anshan took a step forward and said seriously: "Everyone, the days I choose are all instructed by the gods, and the other days are not very good."
Hearing that it was the instructions of the gods, everyone suddenly couldn't say anything.
Dugu Li said: "Master, what you said is not very good, what do you mean specifically?"
Nangong Anshan said solemnly: "Your Majesty, that's because starting tonight, there will be seven days and seven nights of heavy rain, and some areas of Lanyun City are fine. With the sewer pipes, they will not be flooded, and neither will Liuye Village. "
"However, in other cities and villages near Blue Cloud City, many people will suffer losses due to heavy rain before the first day of August. If His Majesty returns to the palace tomorrow, there will definitely be people spreading rumors. As for what kind of rumors, I will not tell you guys. You should also understand."
As soon as the voice fell, all the ministers were shocked at the same time.
Heavy rain?
Although it is summer now, it is normal to have heavy rain, but will it really rain for seven days and seven nights?
If that's the case, it will be a catastrophe that will kill people.
