Heishui County is a little far away from the county seat, but with Du Sheng running with all his might, it takes less time than riding a horse.

Du came to the county town panting, and the sun was about to set at this time, and it was almost dark.

didn't care about the prosperous county town, Du Sheng didn't have any deviation, and came directly to the location designated by Wang Lanling.

He has been to the county several times, and several times he has delivered letters for Wang Lanling.

At this time, the county town is still a little lively, and it is not that there is nothing here when it gets dark, and there is also a night market at night.

Some businesses are originally more lively at night, but there is no such soil in the small county, and the consumption level cannot keep up.

"Is Miss Hu Mulberry here? I am Wang Lanling's subordinate in Heishui County, and I have something to find her brother Hu Wangxiang. ”

Du Sheng's Mandarin is not standard, and the dialects of Yunshui County and Heishui County are not the same, so Du Sheng is also worried that others will not understand what he says.

Fortunately, Hu Sangbao was helping in the store, and she understood the dialect of Shanzhou.

"I'm Hu Sangbao, what is Lord Wang looking for my brother? You wait first, there are still customers in the store, can you wait for half an hour? ”

Hu Sangbao still has to help in the store, so I want to wait a minute.

When Du Sheng heard this, he said, "Okay, you can get busy first, I'll go out and buy something to eat." ”

"Alas, no, just eat it in the store, I'll make it cheaper for you!" Hu Sangbao quickly called out to Du Sheng.

Du Sheng is a frugal person, but he is too embarrassed to buy a steamed bun again, so he sits down and waits.

At this time, someone in the room of the dumpling stall shouted: "This young man, there is wine and food here, come in and talk, we want to hear about Heishui County." ”

Du Sheng looked over and found that it was several people dressed as craftsmen.

He walked over, looked at the three men, and sat down on the bench.

"Excuse me, my family is in a good form, and I, who is a follower, am also willing to talk to others about him."

The three of them smiled when they heard it, and one of them said, "What is Wang Lanling looking for this little girl's brother?" ”

Du Sheng explained: "My lord, when he came to the county last time, he met Hu Wangxiang, and he thought that the young man was a talent, and now the adult is in charge of 20,000 servants, and there is a shortage of people, so I asked him to come and ask him if he would like to go over and do something." ”

The man frowned, "Twenty thousand? You're kidding, right? ”

Du Sheng was a little nervous, he heard the words that this person said, which was very similar to the tone of Wang Lanling when he spoke before, it was official language!

"No joke!" Du Sheng tried his best to make his speech more smooth, "I helped in the Water Affairs Department, and more than 21,000 people have participated in this conscription so far!" ”

The man still didn't believe it, "I'm just on an errand in the Water Affairs Department, it's difficult to get 20,000 people in this county, and Wang Lanling hasn't even arrived at 16, how can I recruit 20,000 people to participate?" ”

Du Sheng is helping in the Water Affairs Department this time, and he knows many things better than Wang Lanling.

"Lord Wang's prestige spreads far and wide, and many people who serve in the service after living with Lord Wang, after returning home that day, they will come to serve with their neighbors, and every household in the city responds positively, so there are 20,000 people."

The real reason is not this, the main thing is to keep the word, really give food.

There is also the fact that Lao Zhao killed too hard a while ago, and others thought that if he didn't serve, he would be beheaded, so he naturally went.

The second reason is the guarantee, and the first reason is the positive reason for everyone's active participation.

As for Wang Lanling's hardships with everyone, it is useless, and this will not affect everyone's enthusiasm for work.

Because the work is always done by them.

Wang Lanling took the modern set to this era, and this thing is very useful to the officialdom of this feudal empire of more than one billion people.

But what he learned is of little use to the people at the bottom of this world, and there is no soil for some isms here, because the peasants of this era need a strong country to protect their homes!

In the absence of foreign enemies, and each of them can survive, and the standard of living is not to the point of worry-free food and clothing, it is impossible for these peasants to awaken!

It doesn't matter who comes in person!

The court was very stable, and although officials and civilians were often killed by the emperor, this did not affect the authority of the empire at all.

The stability that the vast society needs, the empire can provide, so it cannot fall.

Wang Lanling's reputation is useless at the bottom, and the main power in this era is still concentrated in the hands of a small number of people.

But the funny thing is that Wang Lanling is also a minority......

Qiu Tongchun is a surveyor in the water affairs department, and the two people around him are the kind of people who do things.

The three of them know a lot about the affairs of Heishui County, especially the matter of water affairs.

After all, the water of Yunshui County has to go downstream along the big river, and Heishui County is an important part.

"Twenty thousand, really?" Qiu Tongchun still didn't believe it.

Du Sheng said solemnly: "If it weren't for 20,000, I would have crashed to death on this wall!" ”

Qiu Tongchun showed a contemplative countenance, "Twenty thousand, what are these people doing?" Want to change the river? ”

Qiu Tongchun was very worried, he was not afraid that the people below would not do things, but he was afraid of doing things indiscriminately......

originally thought that Wang Lanling had the approval of the saint, that is, he was messing around, but he didn't expect that this person was really planning to do things!

This is terrible!

If this water is not flooded in Heishui County, it will be flooded elsewhere, and where is there a valley to store water in other places!

The location of Heishui County is the downstream of Yunshui County, and the reason why I chose to release water here is because I can release water here, but not elsewhere!

Du Sheng shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"How could you not know? Aren't you from the Department of Water Affairs? Qiu Tongchun felt that this person was lying and refused to tell the truth.

Du Sheng said embarrassedly: "I'm not a regular employee now, and the regular employees have been fired by our adults. ”

Qiu Tongchun showed an uncomfortable expression...... It's hard to put into words!

There is no doubt that in the eyes of Qiu Tongchun and others, those who are messing around are qualified court officials, and people like Wang Lanling who want to do things are the scourge!

"What are you adults going to do now?" Another person next to him asked while drinking wine.

Du Sheng said honestly: "Now the adults are solving the problem of food and housing for 20,000 people, as if to say that you can't always eat grain." ”

The three people from the water affairs department asked Du Sheng a lot of things, and Du Sheng said everything he knew in order to give Wang Lanling a long face.

By the time the three of them said goodbye and left, Hu Sangbao had been waiting for a while.

"My brother is still studying in school these days, I'll go home and talk to him, and I also have an older brother and a younger brother, I'll ask them to come over and help Lord Wang, is that okay?"
