Chapter 144: Convinced

Wang Zhao stood on the left side of Gu Jianglin, just glanced at it slightly, and felt that this plan was extraordinary, and he was surprised in his heart, because he had made meritorious contributions to water control before, he was regarded as the first person to control water in this dynasty, and for a long time, he felt complacent about this title, although he understood that he had just adopted the most common method in the ancient books, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and he could cure it for a while, but he couldn't cure it for a lifetime.

He thought that no one in this world could come up with a perfect way to completely solve the flood, but when this person appeared in front of him, he was completely shocked.

It was actually a woman, no more than twenty years old, looking young, but her face was full of determination and determination.

Wang Zhao was immediately a little unconvinced, "What materials are used to build the dam?" Ordinary masonry may corrode in the water in just a few years, and the stone is difficult to mine, so it seems too luxurious to use it just to build a dam. ”

"I've solved this problem a long time ago." Xi Duyun smiled and asked Cuiyun to fetch the ash that had been placed in the inn.

In order to let Gu Jianglin verify whether this material is good or not, he specially took the volcanic ash he brought last time and tested it first.

This is also to block the mouth of Youyou, after all, this is a new type of material, and it is unknown whether others believe it or not.

Soon Cuiyun brought it, mixed it with lime in the proportion stated in the book, and the cement was made, watered, mixed and solidified, and made a solid square brick.

Wang Zhao tried it and was amazed in his heart, "What is this?" ”

"Volcanic ash, people regard it as a disaster, in fact, everything has a bad side, there must also be a good side." Xi Duyun smiled and looked at Gu Jianglin, "I have already made the general plan, if there is a discrepancy with the actual situation, you can make minor changes." ”

Gu Jianglin coughed, nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Xi." ”

"You're welcome." Xi Duyun glanced at Xu Zhiyun, thinking that he should have said all his requirements, so he won't mention it here.

At the county government's mansion, a small servant hurriedly came to report, "County government, there is a distinguished guest here." ”

When He Zhenglin heard this, he put down the teacup in his hand, "Oh? But the fifth prince, he has been busy dealing with what troubles, and he has no time to pay a visit, but I didn't expect the fifth prince to take the initiative to come to me. ”

The little guy shook his head, took out a jade pendant from his arms, respectfully handed it to He Zhenglin and said: "The villain doesn't know who the person is, but he said that let the villain hand over this to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate will see him villain. ”

He Zhenglin took the jade pendant and looked through it carefully, only to see the unicorn dark pattern carved on it, the person who can afford this jade pendant must be a dignitary, and it is very likely that the prince and grandson are also very likely.

He pondered for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Quickly invite someone in." ”

The little guy didn't dare to delay, and immediately went out and invited the man in, and the man looked at the Yushu Linfeng, with an extraordinary bearing, He Zhenglin had never seen this person, and asked suspiciously: "Who are you?" ”

The man smiled, "In Xia Gu Xizhou." ”

He Zhenglin thought about it carefully, when the sixth son of today, his name was Gu Xizhou, combined with the extraordinary temperament of the person in front of him, and the jade pendant of excellent quality, He Zhenglin could almost be sure.

He immediately saluted, "Xia Guan has seen the six princes. ”

"No need to make such a big salute." Gu Xizhou kindly helped him up.

He Zhenglin trembled and said, "Why haven't you heard that His Royal Highness is coming to Yanzhou?" Wasn't the matter of Yanzhou handed over to the five princes to be responsible? ”

When Gu Xizhou heard this, he was vaguely unhappy in his heart.

He had also been assigned to solve Yanzhou affairs before, but because of his poor grades, the emperor was very displeased with him. When He Zhenglin said these words again, he suddenly felt as if he was slapping himself in the face.

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Although the emperor did not assign me a name, he asked me to pay attention to Yanzhou affairs, do you understand this?" "Extraordinary

Although He Zhenglin did not crawl around in the center of politics, he also understood this truth, thinking of this, he lowered his voice and said: "Could it be that the emperor is afraid that the five princes will not be able to complete it, so he specially sent the sixth prince to supervise the work?" ”

"yes." Gu Xizhou nodded, "Moreover, not many people know about my visit to Yanzhou for the time being, so this matter still needs you to keep it secret." ”

"If that's ......" He Zhenglin felt a little strange in his heart, why couldn't he tell others?

Gu Xizhou seemed to see his doubts, smiled and said, "After all, the father-son relationship between my father and my fifth brother can't be separated because of this." ”

He Zhenglin suddenly realized, "I see, then you ......"

"I'll stay in your house for two days, is it convenient?" Gu Xizhou asked with a smile.

"Of course it's convenient." He Zhenglin said immediately.

Gu Xizhou sneered, since he couldn't do Yanzhou affairs, he would definitely not let Gu Jianglin do it.

Listening to Li Huai's students, Gu Jianglin seems to have found a good way to clean up the river, and when spring passes, he plans to build a river dam, but he didn't expect his progress to be so fast, he can't sit still, if Gu Jianglin is allowed to do this, his reputation in the court will probably be even greater, and at that time, there will definitely be many courtiers who want to make him the crown prince.

At that point, it was too late.

Gu Xizhou came to Yanzhou secretly this time, and in the capital, he said that he was not sick, but in fact, he had already arrived in Yanzhou, which was thousands of miles away.

He Zhenglin had just arranged this prince tremblingly, and Gu Xizhou's cronies suddenly came in a hurry, with a look of extreme worry on his face.

He glanced at He Zhenglin, and Gu Xizhou knew that what he said was too big for outsiders to know, so he looked at He Zhenglin, "He Xiangong will go out first." ”

He Zhenglin nodded, turned around and retreated.

The cronies hurriedly said: "Oh no, the sixth prince, something big happened in the capital." ”

"What's the matter?" Gu Xizhou's face darkened, in fact, he came here in a hurry before the things in the capital were completely resolved, compared to Gu Jianglin, he felt that those things in the capital were trivial, so he arranged for his cronies to solve them, but he never expected that something would happen.

"Something happened to Lord Zongzheng, when he left the capital during the summer vacation, Lord Zongzheng had already been imprisoned, and there was no letter when it was issued, Lord Zongzheng was ranked among the third grades, presumably this matter was also personally tried by the emperor, and the news was also tightly covered." The subordinate reported.

Gu Xizhou suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, his body couldn't stand, and he lost two generals in a row, which he never expected.

Tearfully gave up Li Huai, the secretary of the military department, can he still abandon Zhao Yuan, the master of Zongzheng?

Seeing that he didn't speak, his subordinates asked two tentative questions, "Six princes!" The Six Princes? ”

Gu Xizhou suddenly came back to his senses, "Did you say what the crime was?" ”

The subordinates seemed a little afraid to speak, and after a long time, they said: "It seems to have something to do with the five princes?" ”

"With him?" Gu Xizhou frowned, "Could it be that he pulled Lord Zhao off the horse?" ”

The subordinate shook his head, "Not really. He hesitated again.

Gu Xizhou slapped the table suddenly, "When will you still sell it with me?" If there is anything to say, say it honestly! ”

The subordinates didn't dare to hide anything, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know when there are rumors in the capital, saying that the five princes' disaster relief this time is not successful, and it is also said that someone used witchcraft to curse the five princes. ”
