The most powerful tyrant of the Sui Dynasty

After lingering, the family returned to the house and slept in a comfortable big bed, and Shang Qingya and her daughter quickly fell asleep. Lu Miaozi remembered the map of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in her arms, and before she could see it, she immediately got up and came to the study.

Take out the sketch, lay it on the table, and look at it carefully.

This look, I was fascinated, the site selection of the Grand Canal, the five major rivers that the road crossed, and the major cities that passed through during the period, all revealed the person who drew this map, the exquisite design, the unique vision, even if he Lu Miaozi to position, he may not be able to choose such a good route.

For a while, Lu Miaozi was immediately fascinated by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, since he had watched it all night, he immediately started to set up specific plans in his hands, and turned the sketches into extremely accurate design drawings.

It wasn't until the morning that Shang Qingya found out that since her husband hadn't slept all night, his wife knew that the only person who could make Lu Miaozi stop at this time was her daughter Shang Xiuxun, and immediately went to find her daughter.

The two mothers and daughters came to the study together, and after some persuasion, Lu Miaozi stopped and agreed to rest for a while.

At this time, Yang Guang was looking through the bookbox brought by Lu Miaozi and looking for a while, and soon, Yang Guang found two strange books, "The Complete Book of Organs" and "The Complete Book of Inventions".

Looking carefully, Yang Guang saw a lot of water conservancy projects, either diverting water for irrigation, or storing water for backup, and discharging water and flooding. These are all organs that are particularly good for the people's livelihood.

For example, in some places where there is a drought, you can choose a low-lying place, build a reservoir, store water in the rainy season, and wait until the dry season, you can use the method of water diversion to divert it and use it.

For example, if there is too much water in some places and there are perennial floods, more ditches should be dug in these places to flow the water into rivers to allow the water to drain out and prevent floods.

When Yang Guang saw this, he immediately thought of many buildings in later generations, the fundamental purpose of which was the same as the principles contained in Lu Miaozi's book. I didn't expect that since this Lu Miaozi has such a wonderful idea, these things are all good designs that can benefit the country and the people, and it would be a pity to put them in the book.

"Someone comes, immediately summon the Ministry of Works. "

Yang Guang shouted and summoned Shangshu.

Several courtiers who governed the country were replaced by Yang Guang with more talented people, but the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, or Du Cang, an old minister appointed by Yang Jian when he was alive, was upright, but he attached great importance to people who could work and skill, and he also formed Yang Jian to repair the imperial mausoleum.

"Immediately arrange these projects in the townships and counties, build them and apply them, and immediately give detailed explanations. "

Yang Guang immediately handed over the pages of the book to Du Cang's hands.

Damming for flood control, opening ditches to drain water, and a big jar should also be related to water, Du Cang looked at it and was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty, these two, the old minister understands, this cup, the old minister is puzzled, is it to ask the old minister to find a cup to fill with water?"

Burst.

Yang Guang was shocked by Du Cang's strange words, and sprayed his face with tea.

"This is not a cup, it's a vat, and it needs to be built on very high ground, preferably in the mountains and forests, to store water. Hey, forget it, if you ask Lu Miaozi about the incomprehensible points, you can just ask Lu Miaozi. "

Yang Guang explained a few words, but still felt that what he said was not clear enough.

"Lu Miaozi, who is this person, and where does his family live?"

Yang Guang didn't know that Lu Miaozi was still sleeping at home at this time because he had stayed all night, and he did not report to the Ministry of Industry. Du Cang was puzzled, and then asked.

"Didn't he report it? Well, this person, I'll let him go to you. There is also this two-wheeled ship, Lao Du, you quickly designed a model, handed it over to Qiao Zhiyong, and let him bring it to me. "

After turning a few pages, Yang Guang saw a kind of two-wheeled boat, which was composed of two hulls combined, kept in balance, and raised a sail on it, with the help of the wind, the speed was at least three times faster than that of an ordinary ship.

"No. "

Du Cang looked at it for a while, and he didn't see anything strange about this kind of boat, it was just that the two boats were close together and a piece of gauze was hung on them, but this did not prevent him from agreeing immediately.

Yang Guang didn't want to explain more, so he asked him to make it immediately.

Within a few days, Qiao Zhiyong immediately came to see Yang Guang with a model of a two-wheeled ship.

The moment he got that model, Qiao Zhiyong saw the beauty of this two-wheeled boat, the two ships are more stable than a single ship, and the sails raised at the same time can use the wind to travel at a fast speed, which will inevitably replace the ordinary boats used by officials and businessmen today.

"Minister, Qiao Zhiyong see Your Majesty. "

"Flat. "

"Your Majesty, this is the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Du Cang entrusted Weichen to bring this model to Your Majesty, please take a look. "

Although he knew its value, Qiao Zhiyong still didn't dare to make and sell it without authorization.

At this time, whether this ship can be circulated for civilian use, or only allowed for official use, still needs to be determined by Yang Guang.

"Well, that's good. I didn't expect the craftsmanship of the Ministry of Engineering to be so exquisite and good. "

Holding the model of the two-wheeled boat, since there are still oars in the hull, these small accessory models have been made, Yang Guang picked it up, and immediately praised it.

"Your Majesty, this ship. "

If it is only for official use, I believe that Yang Guang will definitely not let Qiao Zhiyong hold the model of the ship.

The principle of this is actually very simple, it can be said that Qiao Zhiyong, who has now seen the model, can also recreate it according to his own memory.

"This ship, you will take it for sale, and those who want to buy it need to pay a deposit of 30%. The ship will be handed over to the production department of the Ministry of Engineering to be built, and it will be settled when the ship is delivered. "

Yang Guang made no secret of his idea of selling the ship.

Now that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is about to be dug up, the fastest traffic road in the future will be the waterway, and the waterway will inevitably require the driving of the boat, among them, the river water operation, is not without danger, and the quality of the boat, can determine the safety enough.

Now this two-wheeled ship was completely born for the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Even if the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has not yet been completed, there are other rivers that can be used by other countries.

"The minister will live up to the emperor's trust and sell it for a good price. "

The economic value generated by this, Qiao Zhiyong thought about it a little, and he was very excited.

Soon, Qiao Zhiyong left and took the model ship to the restaurant where the last party was gathered, and now this restaurant has been set as a frequent gathering place for businessmen. Not far from this restaurant, it is where the Universiade Yamen is located.

The yamen was being built in an orderly manner, and Qiao Zhiyong was holding a model of a small boat in his hand, which immediately attracted the eyes of many businessmen, and followed him up to the fifth floor.

"Everyone is really my Qiao Zhiyong's face, and they are all here. "

Now Qiao Zhiyong is not wearing official clothes, but summons everyone to meet in his usual clothes, so that he is also a lot closer to businessmen and friends.

"Master Qiao, you have such a monster search ship in your hands today, are you going to do the ship business?"
