Wangqiuqu

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the city of Luoyang was destroyed, and Li Zicheng sent troops to massacre the city. Water conservancy engineer Chen Wangqiu woke up from the dead and occupied the body of the second son of a military household. There is no system, no warehouse, and no modern tools - only a handful of dirt in his hand, and only three remnants and a seriously injured brother around him. In the distance is the city of Luoyang, which burned for seven days and seven nights. Nearby are broken troops, bandits, and refugees with red eyes from hunger. Others traveled through time to make gunpowder, copy poems, and compete for world supremacy. He squatted on the old road of Luohe River and drew the first topographic map with sharpened branches. It starts with a handful of earth to build a dam, to a barrel truck to divert water and a keel to climb the mountain. From five people sharing a bowl of moldy porridge to nine hundred people harvesting buckwheat by Wangqiu Canal. When the tax collector from Luoyang came with his officers and soldiers to collect grain, he opened the floodgates and used a canal to trap three hundred people. Zhao Huaian said that he was a disobedient military household. Li, who was left behind, said he was a unruly man who didn't understand the rules. When Li Xin passed by Mang Mountain, he asked: "Can your channel stop Zhang Xianzhong?" Chen Wangqiu did not answer. He continued to draw. This is the story of an engineer in the late Ming Dynasty. Don't fight for hegemony, don't rebel, don't copy poetry. He just wanted to let water flow from a canal, food grow in the ground, and the people who followed him survive in troubled times. But troubled times do not allow anyone to do just one thing. When Zhang Xianzhong's troops point north, when Li Zicheng's envoy knocks on the door, when the imperial edict and the news of the civil uprising arrive at the same time - the drawings in his hand will eventually become the most troublesome thing in this troubled world. Use water to benefit all things, and use engineering to combat troubled times.
