Chapter 455: What Happened?
"The news from Dacang is still good, but if there are a few rainstorms, I am afraid that there will be floods."
The water level in Dacang has now begun to skyrocket again.
Looking at the current situation, of course, there is nothing, but if there are a few heavy rains, and then they will merge into the river together, flooding will be inevitable.
"Based on the usual experience and time, there should be some time."
Today's water level can be regarded as an early warning.
There is still a little time to prepare before the flood comes.
"How's the levee going?"
"It is already under full construction, and it is expected to be completed in half a month."
Half a month?
Lu Chensheng frowned, "Cut down trees and light bonfires, let them divide them into three shifts, work day and night, and be sure to repair them within ten days." ”
I can't wait for the time, and in order to make sure that nothing goes wrong, now I can only make those craftsmen work harder.
When the attendant heard this, he immediately responded, and then hurried out.
"The canal hasn't been built yet, and it seems to be too late."
Lu Chensheng frowned, looking a little worried.
According to Lu Chensheng's original plan, it is natural that after the canals are dug up, the river water will be directly introduced.
In this way, it seems somewhat perfect.
But now looking at the situation, I can't wait for the time.
"If it's really too late, you can only delay it, so don't worry."
Seeing this, Bai Yi said soothingly.
"If the canal had been repaired earlier, it would have been good for Xinghan City."
Lu Chensheng opened his mouth when he heard this, "How many soldiers are there in the city?" ”
"Fifteen thousand."
This is the latest statistics after the recent recruitment.
There were less than 10,000 people before, and guarding such a large place was actually a bit stretched.
Now there are 15,000 people, which is just right.
It would be best if you could raise more soldiers.
"Pull out 6,000 people, and let them go and dig the canal as well."
Lu Chensheng thought about it and said to Bai Yi.
Anyway, usually pulling is training, and pulling to dig a canal can also be regarded as a kind of training.
There are not enough people, and the soldiers can act as manpower.
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "The concubine immediately asked Chengxue to arrange it." ”
The soldiers of the city defense can't move, but some of the other trained soldiers can be pulled out at any time, and let Chengxue arrange that they can be pulled out soon.
Bai Yi immediately ordered someone to do it, and then a group of soldiers was transferred out to dig the canal.
With these 6,000 people, I think the speed will be much faster.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and more and more businessmen are coming to Seonghan City.
Most of them have heard that after coming back to Xinghancheng, they will be able to become a violent household overnight.
If you start out, you can do it.
But as more and more merchants became more and more merchant, this kind of thing became more and more difficult.
Because there are only a few commodities in Sing Han City, the number of merchants is getting more and more, which also leads to a complete shortage of goods.
Some of the first merchants had already been acquainted here, and the merchants who had acquaintances still ate openly.
In the evening, invite the people who have already rested to have a good meal and drink, and it will naturally be easy to talk.
Some later merchants also thought that they could buy some people with silver so that they could get a batch of goods for themselves.
Sometimes such goods can be sold at a good price without going out of the city.
As a result, it is easier and easier to make money in some positions in Xinghan City.
At the door of the warehouse, countless merchants were crowded, looking at the registration staff in front of them, with compliments on their faces.
"Little brother, little brother! I'm Li Yong! I registered my name early, can I get it now? ”
"My lord, I'm Wang Yu from Chunliu City, I've been here a lot, and I registered my name half a month ago, I want to ask if it's my turn?"
"My lord, my lord..."
In front of the door of the warehouse, there are all kinds of commodities piled up inside, all of which are classified and stacked in an extremely complete manner, and there are soldiers on the side to maintain order.
And at this time, several brocade guards wearing bright yellow and yellow flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists strode over.
After parting the crowd, he came to one of them.
"Sun Manshu, you have happened, come with us."
The first person walked in front of Sun Manshu with a grim face.
Sun Manshu was still looking at the people around him with a proud face, looking at the people who came secretly thinking about their names, and suddenly saw the brocade guard in front of him, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Great, sir, what have I done?"
"I'm already in front of you, and you dare to ask what happened? On an errand in Xinghan City, the shopkeeper's salary and benefits have never been less than yours, and you dare to secretly bribe? ”
When Jinyiwei heard this, he immediately sneered, and looked at Sun Manshu in front of him coldly, with a cold look in his eyes, and the stabbing Sun Manshu's head and feet were cold.
"At first, you just ate and drank with these businessmen, and I just turned a blind eye, after all, it is not a wrong thing to have a good relationship with them, but you used the rights given to you by the shopkeeper to seek personal gain for yourself, hum."
Jin Yiwei looked at this Sun Manshu coldly, and directly exposed the other party's crime.
Sun Manshu's feet were soft, if he wasn't supported by the people on the side, I was afraid that he would have fallen directly to the ground.
"Take it away!"
The person in charge glanced at the other party, didn't talk nonsense, and waved his hand directly to ask someone to take it away.
With such a person, in fact, there is nothing to say, and you can be directly executed when you go back for interrogation.
Sun Manshu was taken away directly, and a few businessmen on the side immediately sweated profusely when they saw this, because they were clearly seeing these people just now, and there was something wrong with their eyes.
Obviously, the other party clearly knows that he is one of them.
It's just that he didn't work here on an errand after all, so the other party didn't pay attention to himself.
Erhu and the others happened to pass by, and after seeing the situation in front of them, they also frowned.
"Mr. treats you so well, you are not stingy with treatment, you dare to seek personal gain, you should be killed!"
Erhu couldn't tolerate such a thing, and looked at this Sun Manshu and spit it directly.
The rest of the students all nodded their heads and glared at them.
When Sun Manshu heard this, he lowered his head with shame on his face, he naturally knew that Lu Chensheng was very good to him, but as soon as he saw the white silver in front of him, to be honest, there are really not many people who can not be moved, right?
