Chapter 372: The Principle of Leverage

We're not here to listen to the two of you arguing, but to discuss how to resettle the victims outside the city. ”

Chi Wan snorted coldly, "He picked the head first, I just told the truth." ”

The prime minister also disdained to argue with a woman's family, he felt that he would only lose his identity.

He waved his hand at Chi Wan and motioned for her to go out, Chi Wan knew that the woman's status in ancient times was extremely low, and she was about to raise her feet to leave but was pulled by Xie Yutang on the side.

"You eat first." She ran over to deliver food, and she must have eaten herself, so how could he bear to see her starving?

But only this relatively empty room on the city wall can be used as an office, and the prime minister was a little dissatisfied when he saw it, "We are talking about the important affairs of the imperial court, how can we let a woman be by our side?" ”

Chi Wan continued to eat her own food with her head down, but silently rolled her eyes in her heart, this old man was really old-fashioned.

"What we're talking about isn't a secret, and my wife's ideas are wild, so maybe she can give us some unexpected opinions."

"Whatever you want." The prime minister didn't want to argue with him because of this trivial matter, "When the old man came in just now, he took a look at the victims outside the city, and there were many more than yesterday, I don't know what the general thinks about this?" ”

"I have given an account to the people below and resettled them in the western suburbs, where there are many vacant houses." Xie Yutang spoke eloquently and told the prime minister his thoughts.

In fact, what is even more important is that the largest temple in the capital is also located in the vicinity, and if you resettle the victims there, you can not only receive help from the temple, but also from people who come to worship the Buddha.

"That's a good place to go." The prime minister touched his chin and bowed his head slightly in agreement.

At this time, the city guard hurriedly ran over, and before anyone could see it, the voice came in first, "What's wrong?!" ”

"What the hell is going on? What kind of system is it to be so flustered. The prime minister scolded unhappily.

The city guard didn't expect that there were so many people in the house, and even the prime minister was there, so he couldn't help but panic for a while.

"Don't be in a hurry and speak slowly." Ji Wan walked over and handed a handkerchief to the city guard.

The city guard raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and his mood gradually calmed down, and he replied cautiously, "There was a mudslide on the road to the western suburbs, and a large stone rolled down from the mountain to block the way. ”

Xie Yutang's breath stagnated, and he stood up suddenly, "Is anyone injured then?" ”

"Nope."

Hearing this, Xie Yutang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that no one is injured, now immediately go and send more people to remove the stone as soon as possible." ”

"The lower official came here to report this matter, that stone is too big, I'm afraid there is no way to get it open for a while." The city guard shrunk his neck for fear of being scolded.

"It must be that you don't have enough people to send over, and if you send more people, no matter how big the stone is, you can get rid of it." The man who had spoken to ridicule Xie Yutang before spoke again.

"It's self-righteous." Chi Wan muttered quietly, but it may be because the room was too quiet, and her words were heard clearly by the people around her.

"You ......," the man was very angry, "what does the general's wife mean by that?" Why are you targeting me everywhere? ”

Chi Wan raised her eyebrows mockingly, "As far as I know, the road leading to the western suburbs is narrow and small, and the terrain is very dangerous, even if you send more people, you won't be able to do it." ”

The man was still not convinced, "How do you know if you don't give it a try?" ”

"That Lord Lin......" the city keeper stretched out a hand tremblingly, "something similar happened a few years ago, and it took us a month to remove that stone. ”

But this is not the case, and those victims will not be able to wait for a month.

"Now it seems that the victims have to be resettled somewhere else." The prime minister felt a lot of headaches, there were a lot of victims, where else could they be resettled in the western suburbs?

The previous Lord Lin probably wanted to show himself, and actually proposed, "There are still many empty courtyards behind my house, which can be used by the victims of the disaster, and I think there should be many rooms in the mansion of my colleagues, so that a large number of victims should be able to be accommodated." ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was very good, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, "There are so many big families in the capital, and there will be empty houses underneath, so the resettlement of the victims will not be a problem at all." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed, and Chi Wan couldn't help but laugh in her heart, why is this person so stupid!

Although the victims of the disaster have a place to go, the security in the capital has become a new problem, not to mention that those large families may prefer to leave their rooms empty rather than let the victims live in their own homes, after all, there are too many security risks.

But now people can't speak out against it, and if they say it, they will be too selfish to accept the victims.

"What do you think, Prime Minister?" But Lord Lin didn't know how stupid his idea was, and he went to ask the Prime Minister, with a smile on his face that you would like to praise me.

The prime minister turned his head away and didn't answer his question, and Lord Lin asked with some confusion, "But what's the problem?" ”

The problem is getting bigger, the prime minister's face is getting more and more ugly, and Ji Wan really can't bear to continue looking.

Xie Yutang just wanted to speak, but Chi Wan was worried that he would be distracted, so he hurriedly preemptively said, "Actually, I have a way to remove the stones at the intersection. ”

"Don't talk about it for the sake of taking credit." Lord Lin had disdain in his eyes.

Chi Wan was angry, does this person have any brains, but he helped him, didn't he see that the prime minister's face was already so dark? If I continue to talk about it, I'm afraid I will have to offend everyone present.

"My wife said that there is a way, so naturally it will not be a lie." Xie Yutang flew over with an eye knife, and Lord Lin was so frightened that he took a step back.

"Is there anything you can do to talk about it?" As soon as the prime minister spoke, the others had no objections.

Ji Wan thought to herself that with such an old-fashioned character as the prime minister, she must not want the victims to live in her own house, so she was willing to listen to her own opinion.

"I can't tell you what I'm trying to do for a while, but you'll know when you get to the scene anyway." Chi Wan asked the city guard to find a few thick and long logs, and a relatively small stone.

In fact, the solution she came up with was very simple, which was to use the principle of leverage to pry the stone away.

But people in this era still don't know the principle of leverage, so they are very puzzled when they hear what Ji Wan wants.

Chi Wan simply drew a drawing, "You just follow the device above, I think it should be able to pry the stone open." ”

Lord Lin glanced at the rudimentary drawings in her hand, and couldn't figure out why she was able to pry the stone away by doing so.

"Ma'am, I think you're teasing us, can you really pry that stone away like that? You don't know how big that stone is? ”

"Do you know that?" Chi Wan asked rhetorically, "How do you know if my method doesn't work if you try it?" ”

"The situation is urgent now......

Lord Lin wanted to taunt a few more words, but Chi Wan coldly interrupted him, "I also know that time is urgent, since this is the case, then we will divide into two ways, you can go and realize your idea, and I will test my method." ”

"Okay." Lord Lin agreed, feeling that his method was fast and simple, and it was definitely better than this woman's.

But he went to ask his mind one by one, and found that his colleagues either turned away from him, or said, "I think the method that the general's wife said will definitely work, so let's wait." ”

Lord Lin returned with a feather and sat at the door with a displeased face.

Chi Wan assigned people in the house, but she was a little uneasy in her heart, she was only talking on paper, she hadn't really practiced it yet, and she didn't know if this method was feasible, if she failed, she would lose face, and she would have to burden Xie Yutang.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulders.

"I think your approach will work." Xie Yutang looked at her gently.

"Oh, how do you know?" Chi Wan thought that Xie Yutang must have said this out of trust in him, but she didn't know the bottom in her heart.

Xie Yutang pulled her to the window, "I made a miniature version of the model according to the drawings you just made, and I found that this device of yours can indeed pry the boulder with less force, since this small model I made can do it, then it must also be able to be outside the city." ”

Chi Wan looked at it, and sure enough, the other party didn't know when he made a miniature model, the stones should have been picked up from the outside, and the big wooden sticks were replaced by smaller wooden sticks, although the proportions were much smaller, but in general it was the same as the situation outside the city.

The prime minister walked behind them at some point, saw the model, and nodded in satisfaction.

"If the stone can really be pried away, the old man is here to thank the general's wife for the victims outside the city."

Chi Wan didn't expect the prime minister to say such a thing, but she was a little embarrassed, "I'm also doing my best." ”

"Hey, it looks like someone outside the city gate is giving porridge." Someone saw Chen Wai's scene through the window and was surprised.

Everyone gathered around, and sure enough, they saw some neatly dressed people carrying large buckets to the set up tea liao porridge.

"I wonder which big family in the city is doing good deeds?" Looking at this picture, everyone couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Lord Lin also came over to see the excitement, and found that among the people who were pieting porridge, someone was wearing the uniform of the General's Mansion, and instantly snorted strangely, "It turns out that the people from the General's Mansion are doing good deeds, why didn't the general call us for such a good deed?" Do you look down on us or do you have ulterior motives? ”

These words can be described as heart-wrenching, but after hearing this, the faces of the people present are different, and they have their own thoughts in their hearts.
