In the Water Conservancy Institute, Li Zhaoying has his own office and an independent courtyard as a dormitory. There, Li Zhaoyu met Bai Ge, who was Li Zhaoying's wife and Li Zhaoying's colleague. The two came to Xijiang together and worked here for five years. Sangel Lake is the result of Li Zhaoying's past few years.

"I have business trips through Xijiang, and my father reminded me to come and see Brother Wang." Li Zhaoyu explained.

"Is my uncle in good health? He said in the telegram that he would return to Beijing by sea. My work is about to be finished. I plan to go back to Beijing at the end of the year. I should see him at that time." Li Zhaoyan's eyes turned red. He spent his childhood in India, but the important youth and youth stages in his life were in Shenjing. In this process, King Yu may not be his closest person, but he was his guide.

"Everything is fine. My father is already on his way back. He will be in Suez for a while, but he will definitely be able to return to Beijing by the end of the year." Li Zhaoyu said.

Li Zhaoying was the British King of the Empire, but he was a special existence in all the direct bloodlines of the Empire. His father founded the Hindustan Empire, but in order to preserve his own family and ancestral property, Li Zhaoying was arranged to return to Beijing to inherit the position of King of the United Kingdom.

It can be said that Li Zhaoying was a victim, and he was just angry with his younger brother who took away his throne.

Fortunately, Emperor Li Junhua had no knots about this nephew and had a good attitude towards him. But this does not mean that Li Zhaoyan lived a good life in the empire. He independently supported the British King's line and had a relatively awkward position in the royal family. His mother was also warned in the royal family because of what he had done before. This woman who did whatever she wanted for her son was like entering the cold palace after entering Shen Jing, and Shen Jing was her cold palace.

The only people who treat Li Zhaoying equally were their grandfather and uncle, especially Li Junwei, who treated him as his own.

Under Li Junwei's education, Li Zhaoying liked to deal with everything around him with a peaceful attitude since childhood, and when he was underage, he was sure that he would not go into politics in the future.

He doesn't like the intrigues in the officialdom. The factors of the King of England and blood will make him criticized whenever he embarks on his career. King Yu taught him that when others doubt you, you should work harder and use facts to slap the other person in the face.

He has always done this, but it is a trivial matter. If he embarks on politics, he will not be rewarded with the slap of the whole world in the face because of his own efforts.

The person Li Zhaoying likes and admires the most is his sister-in-law, Li Yunmei. She has never been restricted by the royal family. She has been obsessed with academics since she was young and has never been married. This is also the path Li Zhaoying has to take. He does not want to go into politics, but it does not mean that he does not want to accomplish things. He also wants to do something, like his father and grandfather, remembered by history and make his life more valuable. It is not what he wants to live in the life of the king who is waiting for death.

The only rebellious thing that the peaceful Li Zhaoying did was the work direction he chose after graduating from the Imperial Agricultural College five years ago. He studied water conservancy major in school. Obviously, as long as he wanted, the royal family could arrange him into any water conservancy project in the Empire.

On this issue, after discussing with the Supreme Emperor, Emperor Li Junhua wanted to let Li Zhaoying go to the Taiwan-Russian province to represent the royal family and preside over the Jianan Water Conservancy Project.

The Jianan Project is not only a political achievement project, but also a benefit project that benefits the people. According to the project planning and calculations, this project can add at least 140,000 hectares of paddy fields to the Taiwan-Rui Province. This is also the reward of the imperial royal family to the Taiwan-Rui Province. After all, this is the place where the empire made its fortune, and in the pre-imperial era, it was the center of economy and politics.

Since the base camp moved its capital from Taipei to Beijing, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the economic development of the Taiwan-Rui Province has suffered huge damage. Not to mention, in the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the housing prices in Taipei fell by 70%. In order to resist the tea gap caused by the Qing Dynasty's migration of the border and ban on sea, the tea gardens that were developed on a large scale in Taipei are now almost completely abandoned.

Obviously, a huge scale and benefiting the people's livelihood project, presided over by the Prince of the Empire, has undoubtedly great political significance.

But Li Zhaoying finally refused this arrangement and chose to work in Xijiang, which was where his mother's family was and half of his bloodline. Since childhood, everyone has been talking about it with half of his Yerkand bloodline. Li Zhaoying did not avoid this, but wanted to go to Xijiang to benefit his hometown.

And no one can say anything. The Tailiu Province has long been the place where the smoky places were everywhere, but a good place with good economic development and comfortable environment along the southeast coast of the empire. In the western Xinjiang, the desert, the Gobi, the Tianshan and the rivers sound poetic, but in fact it is a barren land. Although Li Zhaoyan was stubborn and willful, he chose a place to endure hardships.

The person who supported him the most was Bai Ge, so the two got married.

Li Zhaoying could not convince the emperor, but fortunately he did not need to come forward. He only needed to show his firm will. Li Junwei came forward to convince the emperor. In his opinion, if the royal family members do not want to go into politics, they have the power to do something they like, and the royal family members should not become image engineering and political dolls of the empire.

Li Zhaoying originally thought that Li Zhaoyu would go back with the carriage of the barbecue shop the next day, but unexpectedly, he chose to stay here for a few days. Obviously, Li Zhaoyu was completing the task assigned by his father without any discount. He came here just to take a good look at his brother's work and life for his father.

The Sanger Lake project was formed by Li Zhaoying after he decided to come to Western Xinjiang. After Li Zhaoying invited several like-minded friends in the school to form an engineering team. The chief engineer was his teacher in the university and also received support from the Imperial Hydropower Corporation. The funding problem was best solved, and the emperor only needed to say hello.

"The project is over now, and there will be a long holiday this summer. Too many people have not been home for several years. In April next year, everyone will gather, and the next project is in Kashgar..." After dinner the next day, Li Zhaoying took his younger brother and Li Yongzhong to work together, and the place where they worked was the sand next to the reservoir.

This large area of ​​sand was planned into several small pieces. The people who worked together also hired more than a dozen villagers and villagers from the surrounding villages. They carried the wheat straw bales, and then spread them on the sand like drying vermicelli, and inserted them from the middle with shovels. The wheat straw was inserted into the sand, forming rows of low fences. These fences were interlaced, with square grids, like huge Go boards.

"Actually everyone knows that if Western Xinjiang wants to develop well, railways with the mainland must be built, but the problem lies in the sand. If a railway is built in the desert, a sandstorm will bury the railway tracks. If a bridge is used, the construction cost will increase, and it will not be safe. There are wind disasters here.

So over the years, we have been exploring how to limit the flow of sand at the lowest cost..." Li Zhaoying explained.

"Brother Wang, this is not what the water conservancy major needs to do."

"We have this project at Agricultural University. Do you know that in some places in Gansu and Shaanxi, the desert is expanding and embezzling farmland. In essence, sand flows with the wind, but it is actually the same." Li Zhaoying said, pointing to the grass grid on the ground: "This was the last year when Uncle Wang was in Xijin. I sent him a telegram. After he knew it, he gave me the suggestion. We conducted experiments for two consecutive years and felt that it was effective.

I just don’t know how Uncle Wang got the inspiration when he was overseas, he was in charge of foreign affairs, and he had such creativity."

Li Zhaoyu smiled and said that his father was far away from overseas, and that was true to host foreign affairs, but it was fake. This time he went abroad with his father, and he really knew what it means to combine work and rest. The working model of King Yu was simply overseas vacation, eating wherever he went, and playing wherever he went.

"Maybe it was the experience of building the Suez Railway. The Suez Railway is located in the desert and Gobi." Li Zhaoyu remembered the Suez Canal he passed by when he went to Europe, and was next to the railway.

Li Zhaoying shook his head slightly. He knew it had nothing to do with that. He had read the information in the Imperial Archives in his early years. After discovering that there was no one, he directly called the people from the Zhongting to ask the engineers involved in the construction of the Suez Railway, and even Zhao Mingde, the Minister of the Ministry of Overseas Affairs, was alarmed.

The result proved that the problem of wind and sand was not a problem in the construction of the Suez Railway. In fact, during the construction, the Suez Railway Company found that the sand would bury sleepers and roadbeds, but it didn't matter. Just arrange workers to eradicate it directly. After all, the railway was not long. Later, after the railway was completed, Sinai Pasha directly charged Egypt's corvee service and asked him to participate in the work of protecting and sand. He did not pay a penny, but instead took away the road protection fee that the railway company had to receive.

The problem of wind and sand on the Suez Railway was finally solved because the plan was planned in the early stages of the plan. The railway was built before digging a canal, the roads built before building the railway, the irrigation canal was dug before building the highway, and the resettlement points based on the well were built before digging the irrigation canal.

Because the irrigation canals attract water from the Nile River, various types of plants can be planted along the Suez Railway, from windproofing to shrubs, and then to developed farmlands. These facilities play a role in windproofing and sand fixing.

"Brother Wang said before that he would definitely return to Beijing by the end of the year. So do you have to wait for the work here to be completed?" Li Zhaoyu asked.

Li Zhaoying smiled: "No, this is just a small experimental area, which doesn't explain anything at the moment. I have to apply for more funds to conduct a wider experiment, especially in different regions. After all, the wind speed and sand quality in different places are different. Just for the funding issue, I have to go back to Beijing. In this regard, my identity as the King of England is still very useful."

"That's good. My father always missed you when he was in Xijin and Europe. This time he returned to Beijing, he will no longer serve as a presidency in foreign affairs, and he will be idle. You can have a good chat at that time."

Li Zhaoying also sighed: "I have heard people say since I was a child that my uncle is greedy for peace and enjoyment. In the past twenty years, my uncle has spent most of his days overseas, and he can really be free in the future."

At this time, Li Yongzhong brought a pot of water. Li Zhaoying poured two cups and delivered them to his wife in the distance. Li Zhaoyu asked, "Have you found out?"

Li Yongzhong smiled: "No, the people here say the same thing. The King of England works here and is harmonious with the princess, and has never blushed."

Li Zhaoyu asked Li Yongzhong to inquire about the quarrel between his brother and his wife. When he was resting last night, Li Zhaoyu heard the two quarrel. But when he saw Li Yongzhong say this, he didn't ask.

He stayed in the Water Conservancy Institute for two days. When he was about to leave, Bai Ge personally cooked Li Zhaoyu to see him off. During the meal, Bai Ge asked, "Zhaoyu, there is one thing, can you help Zhaoyu?"

"Don't listen to her nonsense. After dinner, I'll send you to Luntai." Li Zhaoying stopped him repeatedly.

Bai Ge said: "Why can't you say that Zhao Yu is not someone else."

Finally, with Bai Ge's insistence, he said it. It turned out that Li Zhaoying returned to Beijing by the end of the year, just a trip because there was a project in Kashgar and would come back next year. Li Zhaoying had always been worried about her mother in Beijing and hoped to bring her to life together.

When Li Zhaoyu heard this, he began to think seriously. In fact, he didn't know anything about the Concubine Ying. He only knew since he was a child that the Concubine rarely went out and did not interact with the female relatives in the royal family. In the early years, he thought it was different nations and customs, but later he gradually realized that it was not that simple.

The palace had never issued a confinement order to her, but the concubine had never left the palace. In Li Zhaoyu's impression, whether it was his grandfather or his father, the concubine had a low evaluation. He even listened to his father's reminder to her mother and avoid contact with her.

Not to mention Li Zhaoyu, even Li Zhaoyu didn't know what happened. He just remembered that when he first arrived in Shenjing, his mother taught him to be patient and to learn to hide disguises. After King Yu found out about these, Li Zhaoyu was led to Prince Yu's mansion and the palace to live in each other for a while. Since then, his mother has never said anything like that.

"Brother Wang, have you asked your father about this?" Li Zhaoyu asked after all.

Li Zhaoying shook his head: "We are all in telegrams, so this kind of thing is not easy to say in the telegram."

"If you are convenient, we are going to write a letter. Please forward it to Uncle Wang on your behalf." Bai Ge rushed to say.

"Of course...but in my opinion, this shouldn't be a big problem."

“How to say it?”

Li Zhaoyu said: "Since the matter of the concubine is hidden from us younger generations, it means that there must be something that is hard to say, but since it is just hidden from us, it is not a big deal that cannot be overcome. My uncle is the emperor and has the broadest mind. After these years, even if there is something to do, he should be able to let go. Not to mention Brother Wang, if you are here, is there anything you can't say?"

"I, what qualifications do I have?"
