Chapter 150: Chapter 151: Always Feeling That Chu Yuxiao Is Testing Her
But in ancient times, artificial rainfall was not possible.
However, constructing water conservancy was.
“Chu Yuxiao, do you have any water conservancy projects here?” Su Yan asked.
Chu Yuxiao looked at her sideways, puzzled, pursed his lips, and asked,
“What is a water conservancy project?”
Su Yan thought that perhaps the term was too modern for him to understand.
“It’s about building reservoirs in some central areas, storing water in winter, and using it for irrigation during summer droughts.”
A glint of light flashed in Chu Yuxiao’s eyes.
He stared at her intently, a thoughtful shade crossing through his dark pupils.
“How do you know of this method?”
Well, looking at him, it seemed they hadn’t built reservoirs to store water here yet.
“I saw it in a travelogue. It’s been so long, I can’t remember which one,” Su Yan fabricated a reason.
She couldn’t tell him her origins yet, perhaps one day when he fully trusted her, she would tell him.
Chu Yuxiao gave her a deep look, shifted his gaze, and continued asking,
“What if there is a flood disaster?”
Without hesitation, Su Yan responded smoothly, “That’s also manageable, just dig out the silt from the river…”
Suddenly, she paused.
She felt as if Chu Yuxiao was testing her.
She looked at Chu Yuxiao, saw his expression was normal, and his puzzled eyes were waiting for her to continue.
Perhaps, she was overthinking it…
Su Yan continued, “Remove the silt and place it in a lotus pond for planting lotus roots, or build pond banks around fish ponds and plant mulberry trees.
Mulberry leaves can be used to raise silkworms, and the silkworm droppings can feed the fish, while the pond silt can fertilize the pond bases and nurture the mulberry trees better.
By doing this, it can not only widen the river but also build high embankments around the ponds, reducing some of the water disasters and also gaining certain economic benefits through raising silkworms and fish.
This method can be said to kill two birds with one stone.”
These words from Su Yan were inspired by the anecdote of ‘Mulberry Base Fish Ponds.’
As for the real ‘Mulberry Base Fish Ponds,’ she had never seen one.
Nor did she know, just talking about it, how likely it was to be realized.
