Not long after the start of work in the morning, the county magistrate of Ningmin County, opposite the Bahe River, sent someone to find Yang Wenhua through Li Shaozhi.

As long as there is one, the people of Ningmin County must be allowed to come over to work today, and the reason given is that the smell of food here in Lantian is too tempting, and if they are not allowed to come, there may be civil unrest.

Yang Wenhua looked across the river, with eager faces, and finally nodded in agreement.

The two counties face each other across the river, and there are several Baqiao connected to each other, and they were also people from the same county earlier, and there will be many places in Lantian in the future, so it is good for them to benefit as soon as possible.

"Let's go back and organize, just send one person from each household to come over, and just join them in the people of Lantian County to do things together."

By noon, nearly 10,000 people came from Ningmin County, and looking at the more than 3,000 old and weak women and children mixed inside, Yang Wenhua twitched the corners of his mouth fiercely.

The population of the two counties was originally about the same, but after Yang Wenhua recruited many people to farm and build a dam this year, many wild people saw that it was profitable and settled in Lantian one after another.

In this way, Li Shaozhi exhausted Lantian and made up 6,000 people, which still included some sturdy women, and Ningmin County actually gathered 10,000 people now.

"Your county is already a big county with 10,000 households?"

"Hey, hey, hey."

With a flattering smile in Ningmin County, with some embarrassment, he handed Yang Wenhua a copy of the household registration and said: "The new ones are all newly naturalized in the past few days, and the records on it are clear." ”

Yang Wenhua took the household registration and flipped through it casually, and found that some of the ink on it had not yet dried, so he angrily wanted to put the household registration book in his hand and cover his face.

Looking at these people in front of him, Yang Wenhua could foresee that the next thing that came here should be almost like this.

Looking at the faces with chapped lips, dark skin, pitiful, hungry and thin, Yang Wenhua really couldn't bear to refuse, but there was a nameless fire in his heart.

"Tangshan, Tangshan, where did you die?"

Looking at Tang Shan, who was running over in a hurry, with a look of panic on his face, Yang Wenhua sighed, lowered his tone and ordered:

"Divide half of your men, take three days' worth of food, and take them across the river, feed them, and then organize them to build huts.

The young and strong will work with the people of Lantian County tomorrow, and the old and weak women and children will let them quarry and mine sand along the river on the opposite side. ”

Seeing that Yang Wenhua was in a bad mood, Tang Shan should leave quickly to do something.

Looking at the cheers from the people of Ningmin County, the county magistrate of Ningmin County wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and bowed deeply to Yang Wenhua, "Thank you, Mr. Yang."

In such a year, the county people really can't find a way to live, so they have to make this decision, and the county lord and I have been deeply afraid, Mr. Yang can be so generous, we will remember it. ”

"Well, let's be more diligent in the future."

"We have never slackened off in political affairs, but such a natural disaster, what can we do?"

"In addition to being diligent in the future, try to follow Lantian as closely as possible, but the people of Baoning will no longer have to worry about hunger."

Ningmin County's eyes lit up, and he made a disciple salute to Yang Wenhua, "Student Chen Siwei has been taught." ”

Yang Wenhua nodded, "Go back and tell your county monarch that he will bring all the scribes from each room to me tomorrow morning." ”

After explaining Chen Wei, Yang Wenhua returned to the bridge repair.

The Baokan on the river bank is not very technical, and it is enough to hand it over to Tangshan Yang Da and them to deal with, but Yang Wenhua must personally inquire about the construction of the bridge.

Although Yang Wenhua himself has no experience, at least he has to see more, and what skills are needed, it is better to hold Buddha's feet temporarily than to have no way.

At this time, although the Bahe River has been cut off, it does not mean that there is no river water in the river.

There are still many blisters in the middle of the river, and although these blisters are useless for drought, they cause problems for the construction of the bridge piers.

After Yang Wenhua asked people to clean up the blisters, countless fish and shrimp were harvested, but in the face of the problem of flooding water, it was still not solved.

In the end, Yang Wenhua cleaned up a water bubble a little downstream, dug the water bubble downstream, and continued to scoop out the water so that the foundation of the bridge pier no longer had water in the water.

The problem was solved, the sun was already setting in the west, and the day's work time was almost over.

Just after Yang Wenhua announced that he had sounded the golden gong, thousands of cavalry appeared in the distance, and then Li Shaozhi brought a general to Yang Wenhua.

"Tell Mr. Yang, the last general Cheng Chumo, on the orders of General Cheng, Lord Wei, and Lord Kong, came to report that there are 300 people in Guozijian and 3,000 cavalry in the forbidden army, and they will arrive here immediately, please show Mr. Yang."

"Three thousand horses, this is deliberately coming to eat big households, let them choose a nearby place to camp, go and get the grain and rice by themselves, take care of your fill, and then let your Lao Tzu, Wei Zheng, and Kong Yingda come to see me."

"Hehe, the last general is commanded."

Cheng Chumo smirked and rode away, cheers were heard in the distance.

The son is like jade, Kong Yingda let Yang Wenhua see the demeanor of a handsome old man.

is more than 1.8 meters tall and has a straight body, although he is in his fifties, he is still in front of a big man like Cheng Biting Jin and a tall man like Wei Zheng, who is more than 1.9 meters tall, he still has unlimited style.

After a few words of greeting, Yang Wenhua took the three of them directly to the embankment, pointed to the built hundreds of meters of Baokan, and asked the three: "How many years do you think such an embankment can be used?" ”

Wei Zheng took a few steps forward and stomped over directly, the more than twenty centimeter-thick baokan, although it looked thin, did not move at the moment, Wei Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

"If it can resist corrosion, it can be kept from breaking for thousands of years."

Although Wei Zheng was famous as a civil servant in the early Tang Dynasty, he was a capable man and a martial artist, and his strength was not worse than that of many generals.

Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up and asked, "I don't know what kind of material is used for this kind of embankment, and how much does it cost?" ”

"With bamboo strips as beams, accompanied by sand and gravel cement pouring, they are all worthless things, cement is sold in Cui's house, you can inquire one or two yourself."

Kong Yingda looked at the nearly kilometer-long river embankment and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang is a good means, six thousand people can have such an achievement in one day, and when the people of Guanzhong gather, it may not take a few days for the Bahe River to be flood-free."

But the embankment is progressing so quickly, and Mr. Yang has come here as many people as possible, but he has other plans. ”

"Hahaha. Kong Siye is worried that those hundreds of thousands of people will have nothing to do after they arrive, but there is no need to worry.

There are countless river valleys in the upper reaches of the Ba River, and they need to build embankments, and they also need such cement roads to connect them with each other in Lantian and Ting, and from the county seat.

Yang's hundreds of thousands of loads of grain, as well as the Cui family's continuous transportation, kelp in the sea and taro in Shu, Yang did not plan to stay at all. ”
