Seeing that things were in order in Yanzhou, Xi Duyun wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Gu Jianglin unexpectedly opened his mouth to stay, "Miss Xi, stay a few more days." ”

Xi Duyun smiled and asked Xiao Er to pour Gu Jianglin a cup of tea, "Everything I should do has already been done, what's the use of leaving it?" ”

"Yanzhou is very busy now, I can't get out, over there is the volcanic ash, I haven't been able to find someone I trust, Miss Xi has been to that place, she should be more handy than others." Gu Jianglin said in a deep voice.

He was actually not willing to trouble these people who were not in the court, but Xi Duyun's ability was definitely much stronger than most people.

He has a kind of ominous premonition recently, there are people in the court who will definitely not let him complete this task so smoothly, there are not many people available around him, and there are even fewer people who trust, and he is not willing to trouble the people in the court, although there are many people with both virtue and virtue who are good friends with him, but in order to prevent being said to be a party and selfish by people with a heart, he still don't want to trouble.

What's more, the matter of flooding has become taboo in the court, and I heard that the court has not been quiet recently, and he can vaguely feel that the wind is surging, and I don't know if it will affect him this time.

Xi Duyun thought about it. Recently, the business of Tangxin Pavilion has been flat, and improving the varieties of rice is not a day's work, and it is boring to do repetitive things when you go back, and I am still worried about Qi Lichen, I often don't think about tea, it is better to keep myself busy and enrich a little, maybe I won't be cranky.

She smiled, "Okay then, Fifth Prince, how can I get paid for work?" ”

"What do you want?" Gu Jianglin said.

"The fifth prince has already given me too many promises, and if I want it again, this promise doesn't seem to be worth much." Xi Duyun thought about it for a while, and then said, "If I have the opportunity to go to the capital in the future, I will ask the fifth prince to promote my products for me." ”

"This, I've been exiled for so many years, do I still have a chance to return to the capital?" Gu Jianglin coughed low and smiled bitterly.

"Naturally, there is, the emperor handed over this matter to you, which means that he has not forgotten you." Xi Duyun said with a smile: "If this thing is done, what a great meritorious honor it will be to face inside and out. ”

"If it doesn't work out, I'll bear all the blame." Gu Jianglin said again.

"But aren't you almost done now? Since it is about to be completed, it means that there is a chance to return to Beijing. Xi Duyun said with a smile.

"I hope it will go so well one day." After Gu Jianglin finished speaking, he got up and said, "It is estimated that in another twenty days, the river will be able to be cleaned up, I asked Lord Wang to take a look, and the river will recede in a month, and the dam will be able to be built at that time." ”

Xi Duyun nodded, "This month, I will definitely deliver the volcanic ash." ”

The next day, they left for Chengzhou, Gu Jianglin gave him a few powerful shots, and said that someone had been sent to notify her to start construction, as long as she stared at what was wrong.

Xi Duyun thought to herself, this can be regarded as an easy job, but when she arrived at the place, she realized that more difficult challenges stood in her way.

She even wondered if Gu Jianglin had no way to solve this problem, so she was sent here, but after thinking about it, she was too villainous to live the belly of a gentleman, and Gu Jianglin didn't necessarily know the situation here.

The volcanic ash was dug up, packed in a sack, and piled up at the foot of the mountain, which looked spectacular, but there was a problem in front of them, the mountain road was narrow, how to transport so much volcanic ash?

The village chief said with some embarrassment: "I have few people, and if I want to be sent down the mountain by manpower, I am afraid that some more people will be needed." ”

Xi Duyun then remembered that when she first came, she also wanted to take a carriage, but when she arrived at the place, she found that the carriage could not come up at all, so she could only ride a horse up the mountain, and it was difficult to transport too much with mules and horses, and it was a waste of horse resources. starting point

This is a difficult problem, Xi Duyun looked at the mountain road, it was not so steep, but it was too narrow, and he tried it with a carriage, one side was high and the other was low, stuck on the mountain wall, and there was no way to move forward.

In addition, there is a lot of tide in the spring, and the places where the carriages can pass are all mud, and it is difficult to move at all if you get stuck in the carriage full of goods after walking two steps.

Cuiyun brought Xi Muyun a snack, and seeing her sad face, she said in a deep voice: "Miss, don't think about it, I think it's the fifth prince who is embarrassing you." ”

"It's also a minor issue." Xi Duyun smiled, "It's not that the five princes are embarrassing me. ”

"Miss came up with it?" Cuiyun asked.

"I'll see tomorrow." Xi Duyun also had no way of determining whether it would work or not, and he could only be sure after doing experiments.

The next day, she had a piece of crossbar tied under the wheel of the wagon, which played a big role when the wagon passed through the muddy area, and they could put it on the mud for the wagon to pass through the narrow parts of the mountain road, deflect the center of gravity of the goods inward, and then pass through the narrow part of Xi'an Road, and there was no accident.

In this way, the problem of carriage passage was solved.

She plans to let everyone rest for a day and then load the truck tomorrow.

In the evening, the village chief came to her and said happily: "Thank you, Miss Xi, for making our village blessed to make a lot of money." ”

"Don't thank me all." Xi Duyun smiled and said, "That's also a gift from God, God has agreed to let you make a lot of money." ”

The village chief nodded hurriedly, "But I still want to thank Miss Xi for your advice, I won't tell you, Miss Xi, I came to you for something else." After saying that, he rubbed his hands a little awkwardly.

Xi Duyun saw that he was embarrassed, as if some words were difficult to say, like a big matter, so he immediately said: "Village Chief, since you regard me as the benefactor of your village, then don't hide anything from me, just say anything about it, is there something wrong with the volcanic ash, don't worry, I can hold on." ”

The village chief hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, that's the case, everyone pays their wages uniformly, but some children in the family come to help with the work, and I also have to pay a salary, isn't it cost-effective?" ”

"Village chief, it turns out that because of this incident, you don't want to save money for me, but something is wrong, right?" When Xi Duyun saw that he was hesitant and didn't speak, he knew that this matter would not be so simple.

The village chief nodded, "Why don't I want to earn more money for the people in the village, but in this way, some families are unbalanced, saying that their families have no children, they can't take advantage of this, and they don't need to do much work to get so much money, so everyone has a lot of complaints, but I don't dare to come to you and say that when everyone comes to receive wages, I don't have a lot of complaints." ”

Xi Duyun smiled, "It turns out that it's because of such a thing, village chief, if I implement the new system tomorrow, do you think the people in the village will agree?" ”

"What system?" The village chief asked curiously.

"It's just that those who can work more, work more and get more, according to the number of bags of volcanic ash dug up, how long do you want to do it, and there is no time to go to work and get off work, so everyone's time is also a little loose." Xi Duyun said.

Since she dared to do so, she was sure that the villagers would work more to make more money, and would not worry about the situation that there would be not enough volcanic ash.

The village chief thought about it carefully, then clapped his hands and said, "This is a good idea, why didn't I think of it before?" Just do as you say, and no one will refuse this offer. ”

"Then the village chief will go and notify tomorrow, and you don't have to worry about someone coming to mix the wages, let alone someone complaining." Xi Duyun said.
