The Heishui River was originally located in the north of Heishui County, some distance from Heishui County.

The road for this distance is hilly, and the bed of the Heishui River is higher than the county below.

In ancient times, wars were fond of flooding cities with water, because most of the rivers were located higher than the city, and it was only in the area of flat land that it was more convenient to build a city.

There are also many cities that are built in hilly areas, but no matter what, there must be water passing through, and if the water flows low, the water will be flooded!

The problem of flooding is really unsolvable, and in order to facilitate the use of water, people divert the Heishui River to the vicinity of Heishui County.

Heishui County has also expanded several times due to population expansion, so now the Heishui River flows from the north to the east of the county, from west to east.

The method of water control has long been written into the Water Scripture Note under the summary of the water control officials of the past dynasties, but just like natural and man-made disasters, some things are unavoidable.

"The fleet is coming!"

Wang Lanling was arranging for the women and children to carry away the uprooted grass and arrange work for the laborers, when he heard the shouts of his subordinates.

Not only Wang Lanling, but many people looked at the other side of the river.

In the center of the surface of the Blackwater River, a white medium-sized boat was slowly approaching.

This boat is different from the usual boats, it is very atmospheric!

Because of the distance, it is impossible to see the specific size, but the pure white painted hull, or the high bow and the flag fluttering in the wind, all have a different feeling.

Wang Lanling walked to the edge of the dock and looked at the bow of the ship that was gradually approaching.

The white ship is not a sailboat.

Just as Wang Lanling was thinking about how the ship was rowing, the white cargo ship over there emitted white smoke from an iron pillar!

"Steamship?" Wang Lanling was a little unsure because he had never seen a steamboat.

It could be a steamboat, or it could be someone on board cooking.

However, Wang Lanling still thinks that it is more likely to be a steamship.

As the ship approached, everyone looked at the clean hull and started talking.

"It doesn't look like it's wood, it's iron, right?"

"Iron? How heavy that is! Just sink into the water! ”

"This ship is magnificent!"

"Yes, it's a pity to use it to transport food, when this ship is fighting, it is definitely strong!"

"It's so high, it's hard to climb up!"

The boat soon approached the shore, and on the bow stood several officials who looked like county people.

Whether it is physiognomy or style, these people are clearly different from the people in Heishui County.

Behind the white boat, there are nine more boats, but all of them are simpler than this one.

There are many rooms that are obviously residences on the white boats, and the ones behind are simple cargo ships.

The grain transport officer on the ship had been waiting for the shore for a long time, and he had seen the people on the shore early.

The grain transporter was a man with not very good eyes, he squinted at the people on the shore and stretched out a hand.

"Binoculars!"

"Yes!"

The assistant next to him quickly handed over a pair of binoculars.

Although the weather is not too hot now, the two are wearing white short sleeves, white pants and black belts around their waists, and a white hat on their heads.

Gongliangyan soon saw several people standing on the dock.

He looked left and right, and the focus was still on the young man in the official uniform.

Wang Lanling's recognition is quite high, so it is even more obvious when compared with the surroundings.

Gongliangyan handed the telescope to his assistant, stood on the edge of the railing and shouted at the approaching pier:

"Ahead, is Wang Lanling, the secretary of water affairs?"

"Exactly!"

Wang Lanling responded quickly.

Gongliangyan said to his assistant, "Prepare to dock." ”

"Yes!" The assistant quickly ran out, walked to a ladder and climbed higher and got into the wheelhouse.

The assistant was quite agile, and within a few seconds, a metallic sound sounded from the steamship's whistle.

As the ship approached the dock, the sailors above quickly began to secure the boat, slowly lowering the metal hanging plate with a rotating chain machine.

Gongliangyan walked down, and after coming to the shore, he said: "I am the grain transportation officer of Yunshui County, Gongliangyan, this time I am here with 300 tons of grain for two years, and the subsequent grain will be delivered in the next few days." ”

Although the grain is not valuable, Wang Lanling's opening is 2,000 tons, which is very difficult to transport just to come.

Wang Lanling took out his identity certificate and official seal and handed them to Gongliangyan for inspection.

After Gongliangyan checked that it was correct, he returned it to Wang Lanling, "My father and Lord Zhao are good friends, and I am responsible for transporting grain later, you can ask me any questions." ”

Hearing that it was his own people, Wang Lanling said: "This batch of grain is mainly for the laborers to eat, as a reward and favor, and a small part will also be distributed to the people in the city as a disaster relief reserve, I don't know if it is more rice or more grain?" ”

Gongliangyan felt that Wang Lanling was a little too formal, just like Zhao Wenjian, and he was well-behaved.

"There are more grains, people in Yunshui County like to eat rice, and eat less pasta, these grains were harvested the year before last, and there is no problem to eat."

Wang Lanling nodded, "Then it's troublesome Brother Gongliang, I'll let people carry the grain down." ”

Gongliangyan also said: "Okay, unload the goods, you are also watching from the side, if the amount of grain is not right after that, or if there are things in it, it will not be under my control." ”

After the two handed over, their subordinates began to move the goods.

Here's the rule, first take a cargo ship to the side of the ship to load grain, then fill it and go to the shore to carve the boat for weight, and then follow that.

Although there is no electronic scale, the amount of water and the weight of the grain will not be too different.

You don't need to be too precise, as long as it's pretty good.

Food loss has always been a very normal variable.

The laborers, led by the sailors, boarded the cargo ship and began to carry grain out of the white ship's holds.

Because Heishui County is very close to Yunshui County, these grains are simply packed in snakeskin bags.

The snakeskin bag is not a bag made of snake skin, but a woven bag of cement, but it is used for food.

There are also such bags in Heishui County, which are generally found in large families, such as urea bags for chemical fertilizer.

The level of science and technology in the county seat is obviously higher than that of the county seat!

For Wang Lanling, this is an ordinary thing, and for Sun Libian Shiying and others standing on the luxury ship, this is simply an illusion of entering the treasure house of the immortal family.

The floor of the ship is as smooth as new, it does not look like the ship in these people's impression at all, but more like a palace!

The clothes worn by those sailors, as well as the things they were wearing, made these people show the curious eyes of hillbillies.

Wang Lanling didn't get on the boat, he and Gongliangyan stood on the shore and talked.

Gongliangyan said: "Why are there so many people here? How many people are there? ”

Although Heishui County is a big county, it is still a county, not a county.

In Gongliangyan's opinion, there are several hundred people in Heishui County, at most a thousand.

The food delivered this time is mainly for the purpose of preparing for future disasters, not for people to eat now.

Wang Lanling looked at the ship and said simply: "At present, there are about 2,000 people, and there are some in other places, and in the end there should be 10,000 people." ”

For this conscription, Wang Lanling's minimum requirement was 10,000.

"Ten thousand?!" Gong Liangyan looked at Wang Lanling, and after making sure that Wang Lanling was not joking, he was even more puzzled, "Apart from you, who else is responsible for this conscription?" ”

Wang Lanling understood what these people were thinking, and said, "I'm responsible, I'm in command!" The rest of the people were helping me. ”

Gongliangyan is much bigger than Wang Lanling, and at this time, listening to Wang Lanling's words, he said admiringly: "These 10,000 people, just eating and drinking Lazar is a big problem, can you manage it?" ”

Wang Lanling looked at the place behind him and explained: "I am in charge, now I am camping and setting up a village, building toilets, earthen stoves, houses, and livestock sheds, and try to do it before tomorrow morning." ”

Gongliangyan said: "I also led soldiers, and more than a dozen people became a mess, you 10,000 people, I really don't think it's impossible to have an accident." ”

Wang Lanling: "There will definitely be something, if there is a problem, just solve the problem, I have divided the management, and selected the team leader, squad leader and team leader, which is okay at present." ”

The main reason is that the authority of the yamen is still there, and Wang Lanling also has a reputation.

If Wang Lanling's reputation is not enough, then there will be more people who are not convinced, and fewer people who are willing to endure it.

Unlike normal organizational strength, everyone was prepared to endure hardships before coming over.

The mentality of those who participated in the labor service was different from that of those who worked in the yamen.

Gongliangyan felt that Wang Lanling was really different, no wonder he could get the attention of the county and the emperor.

Thinking of this, Gongliangyan thought of Zhao Wenrou.

"Zhao Wenrou didn't beat you, right?" As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew Zhao Wenrou's impression in the eyes of those people in the county town.

Wang Lanling didn't like this kind of topic, and saw that Zhao Wenrou's image was so bad, so he said: "Although my husband and wife have not yet married and worshipped, they are also husbands and wives, she washes and cooks at home, serves me tea and water, I also know that she has a bad reputation, but she is really sincere to me, brother Gongliang don't laugh about this matter anymore." ”

Gongliangyan was even more surprised, and even didn't believe it!

He felt that Wang Lanling was because of Lao Zhao's relationship, and it was difficult to tell the truth, so he immediately felt a little sympathy for this child.

At this time, a voice came from behind him, and An Dezhou approached this side with two foremen.

"Wang ...... Director. An Dezhou wanted to call Wang Lanling directly, but when he saw the few sergeants wearing water uniforms around Wang Lanling, he still honestly called his official position.

When Wang Lanling heard the voice, he turned around and looked over.

"What?" The tone was a little cold, not like a conversation between peers, but more like a conversation between superiors and subordinates.

An Dezhou's momentum suddenly weakened a lot, and he said writhingly: "The businessman's business, this ...... There are some people in the division who are reluctant to ......"

Wang Lanling said directly: "I will tell them that whoever is unwilling, will be laid off!" ”
