Yang Yi looked up, condescendingly, and sure enough, he could clearly see that there was a huge scimitar in front of the wide Hengchuan River, which was shaped like a fish with a round mouth, which made the river here increase the speed of the water flow and be extremely turbulent.

Seeing Yang Yi looking up in the direction of "Jianyu Bay", Qian Shao explained: "That Jianyu Bay is just in the area where the terrain is slipping, after years of river erosion, the bend is getting more and more urgent, and the force is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Yang Yi said in a deep voice: "Is there no way to govern it?" ”

Qian Shao sighed and said: "Every year in the dry season, the lower officials will prevent the people from building dikes and cleaning up the silt at the bottom of the river, but that is a palliative not a cure, or it will not be long before the silt at the bottom of the river will be deposited again, raising the riverbed a few points higher every day, and now the riverbed is almost higher than the flat land." ”

Yang Yi mustered all his strength to get up from the ground, stood on the hillside and looked at the winding river, his brows furrowed. Even the most knowledgeable people know that once the riverbed is close to the horizon, it is a catastrophe.

"Can we just watch the flood go uncontrollab, and we can't do anything about it?" Yang Yining said.

Qian Shao also stood up, stood behind Yang Yi, sighed and said: "Seeing that the river is getting higher and higher year by year, the lower officials are also worried, but under this kind of natural disaster, what people can do is really limited. ”

After a pause, Qian Shao suddenly said: "However, there is a person who has a way to manage the Hengchuan River..."

Hearing this, Yang Yi turned around and wondered, "Can someone cure this river?" Who is it? ”

Qian Shao smiled helplessly: "It's a person named Wen Jihuai, but..."

"But how?"

"Although this man is talented and learned, he is a little crazy, and often dreams of fools." Qian Shao smiled: "That person is on the river now, if His Highness wants to see him..."

"Go and call him!" Without waiting for Qian Shao to finish speaking, Yang Yi hurriedly said, he is now going to be a person who can help him control the water.

Qian Shao hesitated, then bowed his hand to Yang Yi and looked for him on the river.

After more than half an hour, when Yang Yidu was about to wait impatiently, Qian Shao finally came back and brought back a "clay man".

Why is it called a "mud man", because except for two eyeballs that swirled there, the whole body of the man was completely covered in mud.

The monkey Jian'er and the others on the side laughed unconsciously, and everyone worked on the river for a day and a night, although they were also covered in mud, but they did not completely become a mud figure like this person.

"This is..."Yang Yi looked at Qian Shao on the side and said suspiciously.

Qian Shao nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Back to Your Highness, this person is Wen Jihuai." ”

Before Yang Yi could speak, Wen Jihuai grinned and said, "I heard that you want to control the Hengchuan River?" "The dark face showed a mouthful of white teeth, and it looked extremely comical.

"Bold! Don't hurry up and meet His Royal Highness the King of Shu! On the side, Ma You said angrily.

Yang Yi raised his hand to stop Ma You, looked at Wen Jihuai with interest, and asked rhetorically, "I heard that you can govern the Hengchuan River?" ”

Wen Jihuai glanced at Yang Yi, paused and smiled: "I'm hungry." ”

Yang Yi's subordinates were all angry, and they only waited for Yang Yi to give an order, and they took down this rude "black man".

Seeing this, Qian Shao on the side hurriedly said: "Wen Jihuai is rude!" Why did you talk to His Royal Highness the King of Shu like this? ”

Wen Jihuai looked at Qian Shao with a strange look and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu also has to eat, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu has to be scared to the point that his legs are weak when he sees the flood!" ”

Yang Yi pointed to his trembling legs and said with a smile: "My legs are not weak with fright. ”

Wen Jihuai smiled: "That's because you haven't seen the time when the river god is really angry." ”

Yang Yi shrugged his shoulders, although this is unreasonable, it is also true, if the river really bursts and the flood surges, whoever sees it will be scared half to death.

Yang Yi felt that this Wen Jihuai was a little interesting, he seemed to be crazy and a little arrogant, and what he said was indeed very reasonable, and his intuition told him that this person should be talented and learned, not a pure pretending to be a trafficker.

"Monkey Jian'er, go get some dry food, everyone is hungry, let's eat something first." Yang Yi commanded.

Monkey Jian'er had no choice but to fetch some food, and everyone sat down on the ground in a circle, and ate it with water.

Wen Jihuai sat opposite Yang Yi, just burying his head in a big gulp, and nodded with satisfaction from time to time.

During this period, Yang Yi listened to Qian Shao next to him whispering a brief introduction to some things about Wen Jihuai. I didn't expect this "black man" wrapped in mud to be a Jinshi and first, very knowledgeable, and it was rumored that if he continued to take the exam, it would be a sure thing to lift people.

Six years ago, when Wen Jihuai went to Chengzhou Academy to study and prepare for the township examination, it coincided with the overflow of the Hengchuan River, and a flood washed away his wife, children and parents. After the flood receded, Wen Jihuai searched for people to no avail, ran to the bank of the Hengchuan River and knelt on the ground for three days and three nights, and finally pointed to the turbulent river and swore that he would fight against it to the end in this life to avenge his family.

After Wen Jihuai's temperament changed greatly, he gave up the entrance examination to the township, returned to the southern county and since then has been on the bar with the Hengchuan River, relying on his ingenuity and extensive knowledge, day and night to study the way to govern the Hengchuan River. Nowadays, many methods of measuring river water and cleaning rivers in southern counties have been researched by Wen Jihuai, and he has also proposed a set of effective flood prevention and early warning plans to Thorn Shi Taohe, but he did not let Tao Yong, who is not here, take it to heart.

Yang Yi was secretly happy in his heart after listening to Qian Shao's speech, this is definitely a talent, Tao Yong will not use it, but he must not let it go.

Seeing that Wen Jihuai finished eating the dry food in his hand and was wiping the slag on his mouth with satisfaction, Yang Yi smiled and said, "Is Mr. Wen full?" ”

Wen Jihuai looked at Yang Yi and grinned: "Full is full, if there are two sips of strong wine to warm the heart and stomach, then it is very suitable." ”

Hearing this, Yang Yi turned around and took the wine jug from Monkey Jian'er's waist, and regardless of Monkey Jian'er's complaining eyes, he raised his hand and threw it to Wen Jihuai.

Wen Jihuai's eyes lit up, he tore open the wine jug, and the grunt was a booze, completely ignoring the murderous eyes of the monkey on the other side.

"Hiss~~~ Good wine! Wine! Wen Jihuai praised twice.

Yang Yi, who looked up but was smiling, looked straight at him, Wen Jihuai sat up with his hands propped up, and then bowed to Yang Yi respectfully: "Below, Wen Jihuai has seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu." ”

Everyone was puzzled, just now Ma You threatened Wen Jihuai, he didn't salute, and at this time he bent his waist with a sip of wine?

Only Yang Yi's heart was bright, and he knew that this Wen Jihuai was actually testing his sincerity. 10
