Chapter 245: Far Water Can Quench Thirst Near
"You want to ask for money!" Wang Yanshi stepped forward.
"Exactly!"
"You are the Taishou of Dongjun, Dongjun has a total of four places this time, and there is a big blockage, and your amount of work is not large. Lord Qincha left you with relief food, and you can subsidize some of your expenses in lieu of work. ”
"This ...... There is no money and food available in the government treasury, how can it be subsidized, is it difficult to make the victims hungry to repair the embankment? Dongjun Taishou spread his hands and questioned Wang Yonsei.
The other three taishou also echoed the voice. Wang Yanshi didn't pay attention to it, and pointed to the map of the plains, Qiancheng, and Jinan counties to explain, and finally pointed to the pavilion pottery,
"In the end, it's here that the task is the heaviest. The cluster was presided over by himself, and the money and food required were temporarily taken care of by the imperial court. ”
"What about ours?" The fourth Taishou didn't understand what Wang Yanshi meant.
"Figure it out for yourselves. Lord Qincha has already played to the imperial court and exempted the four counties from paying taxes for three years. ”
"Far water can't quench your thirst!"
"Even if the imperial court distributes money and food at this time, it can quench your thirst?" Geng Fan asked Wang Yanshi in a cold voice.
"So, this won't work!"
"How many adults, there really is no way?" Wang Yanshi sneered.
"There are indeed a few wealthy merchants in the county, and there may be surplus grain, but we can't rob it." Pingyuan Taishou is very smart, and he roughly understands what Wang Yonsei means.
"Yes! Oh, yes! The other three chimed in.
"If you don't want to rob it, buy it! Go for it! ”
"Buy? Change? Not only did the four of them not understand, but even Yang A and Geng Fan widened their eyes.
"The imperial court exempted you from paying taxes for three years, even if you can't get the money at this time, you won't go on credit?"
"This ......"
"The breach of the Yellow River is a disaster, but after the water recedes, what is left? Good land! Blessed land! How much thin land has been turned into fertile land? How many borderless fields will there be? You can't take it out and sell it, take it out and exchange it? ”
"Ahh The fourth Taishou was dumbfounded, you look at me, I look at you. Geng Fan understood, and when he saw that the four Taishou were silent, he was ready to help Wang Yanshi again.
"It's hard to see the big things! I know it's not easy, but if you do it hard, I believe it will be done, and then it will be a great achievement! The name will go down in history! The four Taishou still hesitated.
"No problem, just go back and do it right away! Strive to complete the project before the year, delay the princess to congratulate the Queen Mother on the New Year, and you can't afford it! Geng Fan looked at the dumbfounded crowd and couldn't help but want to laugh.
The fourth Taishou had no choice but to take the order and left, and Wang Yanshi immediately rushed to the pavilion Tao embankment. Yang Ah laughed,
"Fan, I didn't think there was really a set here." Geng Fan looked at Wang Yanshi's back and sighed,
"It's a talent, it's just a pity."
"You think I'm going to kill him? It's just a scare to scare him. As long as he really does this, I, I, I will not lose him. "Yang'a seems to have forgiven Wang Yonsei.
"He is doing things for you, or for the people, with a mortal heart. Even if it is done, he will not end up with any good. This time, he offended the four counties too much! Geng Fan's expression was gloomy.
"What do you mean?"
"The Yellow River bursts almost every year, can these Taishou not know that there will be fertile land after the disaster? Wang Yanshi directly cut off their financial route! ”
"I can't imagine there are so many flies down there!" Yang Ah suddenly understood why the four county guards hesitated just now.
"Forget it! Let's take it one step at a time! The most important thing now is to get the embankment repaired as soon as possible. Geng Fan comforted Yang A.
Wang Yanshi is really a good hand in river engineering, he invented the bamboo cage stone method, very effective, quickly cut off the flow and block the water, and actually only used thirty-six to block the pavilion pottery break!
Yang Ah was overjoyed, and Geng Fan took the opportunity to persuade her to return to Chang'an.
"Seeing that it's about to be done, what are you going to do now? I'm afraid you miss your own lady! "The project is progressing smoothly, and Yang Ah is in a good mood.
"Hehe, how can my little thoughts escape your eyes. The overall situation has been decided here, and there is no need to suffer here anymore. Geng Fan generously admitted.
"You go back first, I'll wait!"
"I'm your bodyguard! How can you leave your master behind and run away by yourself? ”
"Don't flick here! I'm afraid your heart has already flown back to Maoling! You can't go back, I won't go back anyway! Yang Ah was resolute.
"If you really want to spare Wang Yanshi's life, it's better to go back to Yitang as soon as possible!" Geng Fan persuaded again.
"What do you mean?" Yang A was inexplicable, and suddenly remembered Geng Fan's worries a few times ago.
"It's coming to the New Year soon, and the closure of this Tao embankment is also a great news, hurry up and report it to the imperial court, and ask Wang Yanshi for a reward, maybe you can block some mouths."
"This ......," Yang Ah hesitated.
"Pavilion Tao Embankment Helong, Wang Yanshi already has some prestige in the four counties at this time, let him toss here. What he needs most at this time is that the court will allocate some more money and food, and the other is that someone will support him in the court. You go back, it's better for him. ”
"Makes sense, too! Is it really okay to leave him here alone? Yang Ah faltered.
"Yang, go back! You've been on this Yellow River embankment for months, and it's time to go back and rest. ”
"Then, I'll go back, and you'll be here to watch for me."
"It's not! I'm your bodyguard! Geng Fan was in a hurry, this was not what he wanted.
"That's right! So, you have to share my worries even more! I'm leaving, you are Qincha, give me Wang Yanshi a good look, and repair the embankment for me! Otherwise, you don't have to go back, just let people send your two heads back to Chang'an! ”
"It's not! Yang, you can't bully me like that! I don't have any credit, but I also have hard work! Geng Fan wanted to cry without tears.
"Aren't you just worried about the lady? Don't worry, I'll help you take care of her when I go back, I'll take care of her better than you! Ha ha! Geng Fan really didn't want to give up such a good opportunity to go home, but he couldn't help it.
Seeing Yang Ah away, he came to the construction site to find Wang Yanshi.
"Yonsei, seeing that the great work is about to be completed, you can breathe a sigh of relief!"
"Sir, the more you get to the end, the more you can't be careless, otherwise it will fall short, wouldn't it be a pity!"
"Makes sense! But, in your opinion, how long will it take? Geng Fan is also quite blessed with Wang Yanshi, who has hardly rested well since he went to the embankment, and is obviously a little haggard.
"Is this looking forward to my death, sir?"
"Want you to die?" Geng Fan was stunned for a moment, and understood what Wang Yanshi meant, he felt that the princess did not kill him immediately because the embankment project was not completed.
After the project is over, it is time to settle accounts with him.
"That's right! When I came, Uchiko was five months pregnant and was about to give birth. You hurry up and repair the embankment, and as soon as I cut off your head, you can go back to Beijing to recover your life and go home for a reunion. Geng Fan couldn't help but start teasing.
"Then you don't have to stay here, I, King Yonsei, am by no means untrustworthy. When the embankment is completed, it will be guilty. ”
