Originally, there was a main river called the Yokogawa, and there were many smaller tributaries. Some because of the need to irrigate farmland, the nearby villagers often dig their own troughs to divert water, so they don't need to dig how to get through, just like the town of Xutang Town there is a Gu River, the river is not wide or long, and it does not flow long to the Henghe, but it is a small river that the people of Xutang Town rely on for survival.

In addition, several small bridges need to be built to repair the embankment, so the project is huge. Therefore, those rivers near Qiantang Town, because of the collected people and the river workers who know how to dig and repair the river, have begun to dig the silt of the river to dredge the river.

The Gu River is only a small river, so the project is also convenient. But behind the Gu River, there is a river called the Luo River, but the terrain is higher than other rivers, so after a month or two without rain, the river will dry up and expose the riverbed, coupled with a long time of sunshine, the riverbed is already dry and cracked, and there is still digging and moving.

So that's the problem, the river of the Yokogawa flows into the river, it must pass through here, and there is no harm in the daytime when there is no big water. But when the tide rises in Qiantang, the rivers in other places are unimpeded and lead out the tide, but when you get here, the river can't flow out, isn't it still in vain!

But this is also the place where the ready-made river is connected, but because of the high river frame, generally speaking, it is faster to dig than other places, and there is no need for river workers and people to tie hemp ropes, go down to the deep river, just widen and dig deep, and it is also much more convenient to transport soil.

This was supposed to be a perfect situation, but it was because of the river. In fact, there has always been water in the river, but there is no big spring here, and the river frame is high, so the riverbed is now dry and cracked.

It would be good if it was like this inside and out, and the people cooperated with the river workers, and with a sledgehammer, the dry mud inside was broken into a large number of mud blocks, and it was lucky. But the cracks and dry up are only a layer on the surface, and the inside of the river is still silt, which is not only sticky and thick, but also often people go down with an iron, not to mention that they can get the silt out, even if the iron is trapped in, it can't be pulled out for half a day.

In this way, it is not as easy to dig as the sparse silt in the ordinary river, so it took several days to dig up the silt a few battles away. Seeing that just the work delayed here can already dig another river, the steward who has just been appointed as a reluctant official is naturally anxious to see this situation, so he personally came here to supervise the work all day.

As soon as I arrived, I spent the whole day complaining to the river workers, saying that it was not human work. The river workers are struggling to dig through the river and remove the silt from the bottom of the river to make it clear, which is also a job they used to do. It's just that they haven't encountered this kind of thing, the silt in the river is like sticky glue is as difficult as sticky glue, originally they worked in the river with water and thin mud, it is not easy, and now they encounter this kind of thing, naturally it is bitter.

This is the case for the river workers who often go down to the river to work, not to mention the ordinary people who don't know how to dig the river and dig the mud.

And in this environment, they make it an ordinary tight little iron, which is naturally extremely slow and extremely inefficient.

For this reason, it is extremely difficult to be in charge of the horse, not only to supervise the process for fear of delaying the work behind, but also to listen to the grievances of the river foreman on behalf of the river workers, and Xu Baozheng, the representative of the people who manage here, complains, he is really a bit big.

The complaint of the river foreman was: "Master Ma, you know us, the work has always been diligent, the craftsmanship is also excellent, and there is a way not to take detours, but I have never encountered such a fork." The river workers have also done their best, unless there are more manpower, you keep saying that we should speed up, there is really no way, unless we send more manpower......"

"Where are the extra manpower, they have other rivers to deal with, anyway...... You speed up......" the horseman commanded helplessly......

"Horseman Outside...... We are all used to farm work, and we can't do this thing of digging the river......" Xu Baozheng also came to join in the fun.

"Don't talk nonsense, let them learn hard if they don't know how to do it." The horseman said angrily.

Fortunately, it has been less than two days since this matter was pressed on the head of the steward outside the horse, and he saw Guo Lin, the master of the Qincha, come over in advance. So when the horseman also complained to Guo Lin after complaining, he was slightly relieved to see that this Lord Qincha did not blame him.

And he also had awe and trust in his heart for Guo Lin, who came to supervise the construction of the embankment by order, so he told Guo Lin in detail here, and he was already thinking about what to do to listen to Guo Lin's arrangement. After all, he thought in his heart that since this Qincha was specially sent by the Holy Lord, he must have a clear understanding of this matter of governing the river and building it. Therefore, it is a very complicated matter for them, a difficult problem to solve, and for Qincha, it must be proper...... Simple.

However, he guessed a little correctly, and after Guo Lin listened to his detailed explanation, he also had some summary of the matter, so he also had a corresponding solution. However, he still had a little filter in his heart, and then said lightly: "Since you didn't think it was easy to dig at the beginning, then why didn't you take precautions at the beginning before, and cut off the source of this river in advance, and the water in the river is completely gone, so it will naturally dry up, so it's easy to dig up the silt?" But since you didn't plan ahead, and now you have just cut off the river, so the outside is cracked and the inside is soft and sparse, so it is not easy to dig, so why not skip this section of the river first and continue digging for the time being. Then I'll have to wait a few days until the dirt is almost dry, and then you can go back and clean up this stretch of water, that is? ”

After Guo Lin said something, the horseman, as well as the river foreman and Xu Baozheng, all of them were bright-eyed, and they hurriedly turned around and agreed with Guo Lin's words. Only after Guo Lin explained casually again, and said that he would officially come over tomorrow to supervise the investigation, he went to the painting boat with Chunyu. (To be continued.) )
