Chapter 720 I Calculated You Can Control Water
Yu was originally a little confused about where Qiu Ming lived. He had seen the mound. It was bare and there seemed to be nothing else except some grass. How could he live there?
Could it be that he dug a cave under the mound? But yesterday he passed by that mound. Where is there any cave? If this man built his own house, it would take several days even if he didn't build it with stones, it would be built with wood? Why don't he help him tomorrow?
But the next day, Yu discovered a wooden house on the mound. The wooden house was extremely beautiful. The surface of the wood was polished very smoothly. Each section of wood was the same length and thickness. How did this person do it?
There are no woods nearby, and it will take two hours to get to the nearest woods. How long will it take to transport these woods back? This is incredible!
This person can definitely be called a skilled craftsman, or even a craftsman. So this person's saying that he can control water should not be fake. Unfortunately, this matter has nothing to do with him.
Qiu Ming was already familiar with this kind of wooden house when he built it. If he wanted to build a brick house, it would be a matter of minutes, but it would be too shocking.
There is also a small fence yard at the entrance of the wooden house. Qiu Ming sat on a wooden chair in the yard, holding a cup of spiritual tea, leisurely basking in the sun. He inquired that Yu was going to get married tomorrow and he wanted to prepare some gifts.
...
Qiu Ming looked at Yu's home, a house built with mud bricks. This mud brick was formed by compacting yellow mud and thatch and drying it. It was considered the oldest artificial brick.
The house is not high and covered with thatch. Although the yard is not big, it is cleaned very clean. Perhaps it is because there is nothing in the yard, so it is so clean.
There were several tables in the yard, all tied with wood, but they were very strong. There were some clay pots and pottery bowls on the table, and some people sat at the table.
The weather is still very hot now, and several people in the yard are wearing very "fashionable" animal leather crans. These people can't even afford to wear linen clothes.
When Qiu Ming walked in, Yu was stunned: "Qiu Ming, you are here too. Sit down quickly and have some turbid wine later."
When everyone came, they were not empty, but they just brought something to them. Some brought a carp, some brought a wild beast, some brought some bird eggs, and some brought some fruits. Only Qiu Ming brought two baskets with green grass on it. Everyone was curious about what was inside.
Yu was once considered a family of officials, but unfortunately his father failed to control the flood and was reported to be passive and lazy, so he was dismissed from office and exiled. Otherwise, Yu would have married, and there would have been more than just such guests in the family, nor would he have only such things.
It should be normal for those who bring two baskets of gifts like Qiu Ming. But now, these two baskets of gifts are too prominent.
Yu was also very confused. He and Qiu Ming were just a chance meeting. They got married by themselves. It was normal for the other party to come over to have a drink, but it was too strange to send so many gifts.
Some guests also talked about it, one of them was wearing linen clothes, and he was the richest person here. He was not an outsider, but the elder brother of Yu's wife.
At that time, Yu's father and his father were ministers in the same palace, and the two families made marriages. This was normal, and Yu really satisfied their family.
But soon Yu's father was sent to death. Their family originally wanted to fail the marriage, but when his sister decided on Yu, his father could only agree.
This time when my sister got married, he only brought someone to see her off, and his father didn't show up at all. He also thought that Yu could not help him, but why would anyone give such a generous gift today? Who is this person?
The guests asked, and Yu was also curious and took away the grass on the basket to reveal the things inside. A whole piece of sheepskin was not a precious thing, but when he saw the pattern on the sheepskin, his eyes showed an incredible look.
There are many rivers and some mountains on the sheepskin. This is clearly a detailed topographic map of the world, which is a good thing that Emperor Shun may not have!
If I had this, I could study how to manage floods. If my father had this back then, he would not have been exiled.
This is definitely a generous gift and is worth immeasurable!
There were some metal spikes under the sheepskin, which didn't look like copper. He took out one and stabbed it hard at a stone bench, and it actually stabbed it directly in!
Who made this? It was so sharp? If it were this, it would be much easier to dig huge rocks, hundreds of times faster than if they used stones to smash each other!
This basket is empty, and there are also some things in the basket made of metals. They seem to be tools. Are these made by this person?
Originally, when he saw Qiu Ming's wooden house, he guessed that Qiu Ming was a very good craftsman, but he thought Qiu Ming could only make wood, but he could even make these tools. Yes, if it weren't for these tools, how could he have built a wooden house so quickly?
"Brother Qiu Ming, your gift is too expensive."
Such a good tool, and that map, if given to Emperor Shun first, would be enough to exchange for the position of a minister and even a piece of land.
He and Qiu Ming were not close to each other, so why did he receive such a valuable gift? And what was the purpose of the other party giving such a valuable gift?
"These are not for you alone, but for helping you control water in the future. Believe me, I can tell fortunes, and you will be responsible for controlling floods soon, all over the world." Qiu Ming originally wanted to pat Yu's shoulder, but later he thought about it and patted Yu's arm. There was no way, and he raised his shoulder high, which was so weird.
In order to help Yu control the flood, Qiu Ming specially drew a map of rivers and mountains in the world. For this reason, he even left his soul and explored the Yellow River Basin.
There is no way, he can draw according to his impression, but in the future, the river will be changed many times. If it is drawn like this, it will definitely be too much mistake.
Those tools were also refined by Qiu Ming with iron ore and some special materials. He tried to portray the simplest formation, which could only play a solid role, but it could also be compared with some special steel. Compared with the tools that are often used now, the gap between a small knife with a pencil and a special dagger is almost the same.
The greater his help to Yu, the higher the evaluation will be after completing the task. With these tools, Yu's flood control speed will be faster, which is also beneficial to Qiu Ming's mission evaluation.
Yu frowned. Why did Qiu Ming think that he could be responsible for managing floods? Although he had long thoughts about this, he didn't know what to do because of his father...
