Chapter 421: The Method of Digging Wells
"I am Qin Guang, and I followed the adults to solve the drought in the north."
"If there is anything, my lord commands, you should explain it honestly, and you must not hide it at all."
Qin Guang looked at the person opposite and slowly spoke.
After a while, the Lord Bo walked out.
If you want to say that you know the most, it is him.
"I've seen Lord Qin!"
"I've seen a few other adults."
Someone who came opened his mouth respectfully.
He still knows Qin Guang's name.
Qin Guang's identity is extraordinary, I heard that it is a second grade, but there are also rumors that it is a third grade.
But he is just a very small master, where is he qualified to understand such a person on weekdays.
Even many court officials, he didn't know who his surname was.
After all, his identity is too low, and the names of these people are even more taboo, and they definitely can't be arranged at will.
"Whatever the adult next to me asks, you answer honestly."
Qin Guang didn't pay much attention to the attitude of this master, and spoke calmly.
Xu Wen opened his mouth and asked: "The drought here seems to be more than a few dozen days, just a few days without rain, and it will not come to such a point, I just saw that some of the ground has even been cracked into squares, because it is too dry." ”
"So, I want to know, how long is the drought here?"
Xu Wen asked.
The other side of the master Bo hesitated a little, and waited for a moment before slowly speaking.
"The small one is called Wei Wenshu, back to the adult, the drought here is indeed more than dozens of days."
"It's been one hundred and thirty-seven days."
"It's all documented."
The master Bo spoke, and when Xu Wen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
It has only been a long time since the founding of the country, and there has been a 137-day drought.
And now it has reached his ears.
"Damn, really hateful!"
"100 days is already a rare drought in the world, and now it's 137 days, I want to write a letter to check with me to see which links and which people have problems."
"If there is a problem with the link, the note directly omits the link, and if there is a problem, it will be replaced directly."
Xu Wen is very domineering and very direct, as a person in the past, he hates this kind of thing even more.
The resentment in my heart can be imagined.
If it had been a little later, in a more severe case, the death toll would have been better.
"Ahem, Wei Wenshu, let me ask you, why don't you move out or go to other areas to get some water after such a great drought in the north?"
"Although there is a great drought in the north, there is no major drought in other areas nearby."
Xu Wen's side, who was also a minister, couldn't help but ask, as if he didn't know much about it.
After saying these words just now, he didn't wait for Qin Guang, or Wei Wenshu and the others to speak.
Xu Wen's eyes couldn't help but look over.
"Zhu Zeng, stupid, stupid!"
Xu Wen spoke directly, and when Zhu Zeng heard this, he knelt down directly, not knowing why Xu Wen was suddenly so angry.
I don't know what angered Xu Wen that caused Xu Wen to lose such a big temper, but in any case, kneel down and forgive the sin first.
Xu Wen, he can't afford to mess with him.
"What's the difference between saying something like that and why you don't eat minced meat?"
"Could it be that I made you sit too high, and now you can't even discern these things?"
Xu Wen said indifferently.
When Zhu Zeng heard this, his heart trembled, knowing that Xu Wen must have been extremely angry when he said such a thing.
This is obviously to degrade one's own position.
"After today, Zhu Zeng, I will first punish you for staying in the north for a hundred days, if you know where you are wrong, after a hundred days, write to Huangfu Wen, if he thinks that you have no problem, he will naturally transfer you up."
"In your position, I will also leave you a hundred days, after all, you are the founding minister, I will be merciful and give you a chance."
Xu Wen spoke, although Zhu Zeng was still a little unclear, but he still did not hesitate at all, and knelt down to thank him directly.
Subsequently, Xu Wen asked some other questions about Wei Wenshu.
"Okay, I know enough."
"I'm here today to save the drought in the north."
"Gather all the people of the county government to come."
Xu Wen spoke.
Then he led the people on a distance until they came to a place where the drought was not severe, but there were many people.
"Right here, do it, dig!"
Xu Wen said.
When the people around me heard this, they didn't quite understand, but they still started digging directly.
After waiting for two hours, it worked.
"The land is much wetter, Lord Wei!"
Someone below spoke, and it was already about two meters deep.
Not long after that, the well was deeper.
"There's already water, Lord Wei!"
The man below spoke.
Wei Wenshu was shocked, and his eyes gradually condensed.
"Got water?"
Wei Wenshu asked earnestly.
"Yes, there's already water, Lord Wei!"
The man below then replied.
"It's good to have water, it's good to have water."
"Tell everyone around you to come and get water."
Wei Wenshu was genuinely delighted.
After another half an hour, the water had been dug out, and the people below had crawled out.
"That's not all, just wait."
Xu Wen opened his mouth and stopped the impulsive crowd.
However, seeing that everyone's eyes were a little crazy, Xu Wen still nodded and asked them to drink water first.
People who heard water around came over, and there were many people, estimated to be thousands.
Xu Wen inquired, and it turned out that there were also people from the surrounding villages who knew about it, and they all rushed over to this side.
"Those who have finished drinking water should also do it!"
"One well is not enough, we have to dig a few more."
Xu Wen opened his mouth, and the people around him were shocked when they heard the words, and they all came over to do it.
Because of the willingness of the drought, it is even more troublesome to dig wells.
Every time, we had to dig very deep to get a well, but it was a solution to the urgent need.
On the same day, Xu Wen returned to the county office.
"Spread the word about digging wells so that everyone knows about them, and at the same time, after digging wells, these safety facilities and so on must be done as wells."
Xu Wen drew the drawings, just a drawing, which introduced all aspects from digging wells to safety facilities.
In the end, Xu Wen wrote another introduction about where to dig a well.
Otherwise, it is estimated that it will be difficult to dig a well in some places.
"Okay, my lord, I will definitely live up to the expectations of my lord and pass it on!"
Wei Wenshu opened his mouth and agreed.
Xu Wen nodded, and the crisis in the north was finally resolved.
Not long after returning to the Qin Dynasty, the matter of digging a well was faster than Xu Wen thought, and everyone actually knew about it.
In addition to the north, there are people everywhere else who are also starting to act.
After all, if you can dig a well, you can solve a lot of trouble, which is naturally a great thing.
"Lord Qianwang, you did this, right?"
Huangfu Wen Shu smiled lightly and said, he still knew Xu Wen's ability.
"Well, that's good."
