The horsemen were anxious to flatter Guo Lin, and it was inconvenient to leave the embankment during the work period, for fear of leaving the impression of dereliction of duty to Lord Qincha, so when he proposed to Guo Lin to let them go to the painting boat to sit and sit, he had already given his subordinates a look, and the little servant had already cleverly run to arrange.

So when Guo Lin and Chunyu passed, there were already two maids and two small servants waiting there on the shore, and when they saw a few people coming, they hurriedly saluted and welcomed them up to the boat.

Chunyu found out that the small boat that the man said was still a very gorgeous painting boat, although it was not very big but it was magnificent enough, and it looked like the squire and tyrant from ancient times were really wealthy.

After the two of them got on the deck of the painting boat and sat down in front of the mahogany tables and chairs that had been arranged, the two maids came to serve tea and snacks, and then quietly retreated to the deck. Yun'er told Chunyu a little, and then took the food box to find her brothers.

At this time, Chunyu and Guo Lin were left on the boat, Chunyu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Brother Lin Zi, there is something I don't know whether to say or not, and I don't know if it's right?" ”

"If there is anything to say or not, right or wrong, you just have to say it and listen to it." Guo Lin smiled and added tea for the two, and carefully dialed a few cashew nuts for Chunyu and put them on the small plate in front of her, and then said.

"I heard Alain's sister-in-law say that it will soon be the rainy season in winter, and it will definitely rain and rain non-stop, why did you choose this time to dig the river and repair the embankment?" Chunyu said and then thought about it for a while, and then asked: "And you just said that the method of separating the past is very convenient and simple, and it is very good, but if it rains, won't you still not do it?" ”

"I didn't think ......about it," Guo Lin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I just thought that there was no good way to solve it for a while, so I said a next step, and it is really true after you say this." ”

"......" Chunyu was stunned when he saw him, and really thought that he didn't expect this, but when he saw him smile, there was no trace of nervousness in his expression, and he knew that he had his own countermeasures. He is so smart, how can he not think of problems that she can think of, I am afraid that he was stunned because he thought that she would think of these problems, so he was stunned.

Sure enough, Chunyu hadn't opened his mouth to ask, and Guo Lin had already replied first: "The previous Qiantang Governor was a non-construction project, and he didn't write a letter to repair the embankment for three years in power, so the saint and the court didn't know the situation here, and whether it should be repaired." It wasn't until May this year that there was a small waterlogging here, and he was a little anxious to ask the imperial court to allocate funds, in addition to disaster relief, there was also the repair of the embankment, but after the funds were allocated, he was bold and embezzled a lot, and was later dismissed. After waiting for the current magistrate to take office, it is already the most suitable time to repair the embankment in July and August, and then after the appropriation and approval of the imperial court, I will be sent over, and it has been a twist and turn until now. ”

"Well, isn't that troublesome? The task assigned to you is too daunting. Chunyu couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Don't endure hardships and hardships to become a master, I also think that this time may be an opportunity for me......" Guo Lin's voice was low when he said this, so that Chunyu didn't hear clearly what was said later.

In fact, she also knows, although Guo Lin is smart, but I am afraid that she doesn't know much about things like river dredging, and it seems that no one except the river workers will know too much. In the later generations of science and technology and its development, some high-energy machinery and equipment directly blew the sedimented silt at the bottom of the river into a turbid water shape, and it could play a role in dredging with the river water, which was very convenient and direct. But in this backward ancient times, it all relied on people's hands, and the tools were still only small irons, which was really ......

However, when he thought of this, a spark suddenly swelled in Chunyu's mind, as if it was an inspiration...... Tools, tools...... By the way, the tool, wouldn't it be much more convenient if you could change the tool?

Thinking of these spring rains, she remembered that the shovels or shovels here seemed to be the kind of semi-flat, not the kind she had seen in later generations. She can't name it, but she knows the shape. So Chunyu pondered for a while, and then said to Guo Lin: "Brother Lin Zi, I can't help when I say help find a way, after all, I don't understand anything." It's just that I seem to have seen it before, but I can't remember where I've seen it, it's just a kind of shovel, which looks a little oval. Just give that kind of ...... Well, it's a little similar to the Luoyang shovel for the kind of tomb robbery, but the shovel pocket is wider, and there is a pocket at the back, which can be dug up and then poured after a full bag, instead of one at a time. And because there is water in the river, you can also make a colander at the bottom of the pocket, and only the water leaks, but the silt can't leak......"

Chunyu said, but he was getting more and more confused and didn't know how to explain, so he had to speak: "Anyway, that's the general way, if you think about it yourself, I don't know much about it......"

didn't say a word, Guo Lin got up excitedly and grabbed his hand, and said, "Chunyu, you've done me a great favor, aren't you...... It is a great favor to help all the people in Qiantang. Once this tool is invented, I think it will make a splash......"

"Brother Lin Zi, I hope you don't say that I provided it, I don't want others to know." Chunyu said embarrassedly, and wanted to pull away the hand that was holding Guo Lin's palm, but the other party was too excited and didn't let go.

"Okay, don't worry, I won't say it." Guo Lin realized that he was a little excited at this time, and even grabbed Chunyu's hand beyond the norm, although he was a little reluctant to let go, he still quickly let go, and said with some shame: "I'm sorry, I was excited just now." ”

After hearing this, Chunyu shook his head and said with a smile that it was okay.

Although there were these episodes, Guo Lin still did not go home and get busy because of this, but still accompanied the spring rain and watched the scenery here for a long time, although it was nothing to see.

Later, after Yun'er came back, the three of them went back to Chunyu's residence. Chunyu also took out a pen and paper to carefully draw the appearance of the tool in his mind, handed it to Guo Lin, and asked Guo Lin to go to the blacksmith shop to see if he could build the tool.

After getting the drawing paper and listening to Chunyu describe it to him again, Guo Lin said goodbye to Chunyu and left Chunyu's house happily. (To be continued.) )
