Chapter 237: A Huge Water Control Project

When Prime Minister Yin heard this, he immediately continued:

"These experts are all good at repairing the embankment, as long as they help you, plus I and Su Shuai are in charge of the court, it should not be a problem to repair the embankment, as long as this project can be successfully completed, Su Shuai and I can guarantee you to be the Zhengqing of the Si Nong Division, which is the third product."

Speaking of this, Lei Yun understood that these two old guys were looking for a promotion opportunity for themselves, and immediately said with great joy:

"Thanks to the Prime Minister and the handsome cultivator, even if the thundercloud is broken, it will not be repaid."

Prime Minister Yin immediately nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said:

"Lei Yun, you don't have to thank the two of us, you have cooperated very well with the Taoyuan Chamber of Commerce in Yuetuling, the Queen Mother and her old man have always praised you, and Su Shuai and I are the most relied on courtiers of the Queen Mother, so naturally we want to do our best to promote you and work together for the Queen Mother; By the way, there are some things you don't know, the current Queen Mother is my own sister, and Su Shuai's wife is Princess Chaoyang, the biological daughter of the Queen Mother. ā€

If Yin Kaishan didn't say it, Lei Yun really didn't know that he and Su Dingfang still had such a relationship, and immediately understood the reason why the two were so close, it turned out that the two had already been successfully married, and they would have been both prosperous and lossy.

Thinking of this, Lei Yun immediately said:

"Thank you two adults, Lei Yun should do his best to never disappoint the two adults and the Queen Mother."

Su Dingfang and Yin Kaishan glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both showed knowing smiles at the same time, and then said:

"Lei Yun, early tomorrow morning, you will go to the morning court with me, receive the holy decree and set off again."

Lei Yun saw that this matter was quite urgent, so he hurriedly notified Xuanchen and the three of them on the team channel, asking them to get ready, and at the same time asked Mei Yan to inform Wu Tianji and Chu Lianyi together, and also went with him.

Because the recent mission world has been for many months, Lei Yun cherishes the time with the two girls Mai and Shui, so when he is not doing tasks, he tries to accompany them.

The two women were naturally very happy to go on a "business trip" with Lei Yun, and immediately began to prepare after receiving the news, and by the time Lei Yun returned to Yunzhan Cave, the two had already packed several carriages with large bags and small bags.

Repairing the river embankment is not a matter of one or two days, so Lei Yun is not in a hurry, so he let the two girls bring more things, and when the time comes, it will be regarded as a tour and go slowly.

The next morning, with the joint efforts of Su Dingfang and Yin Kaishan, Lei Yun was appointed as the minister specializing in repairing the river embankment very smoothly, and went to Qingzhou, where the damage was most serious, to build the river embankment.

At the same time, several of the best water conservancy experts of the Si Nong Division were appointed as Lei Yun's deputies to assist Lei Yun in repairing the river embankment, and other officials in the DPRK and China saw Su Dingfang and Yin Kaishan singing and harmonizing, obviously wanting Lei Yun to make a beautiful mission, and they were also very interested in not saying more.

Because the holy decree required to leave immediately, Lei Yun did not dare to delay, and hurriedly arranged the carriages and horses overnight, but found that even the people and things were loaded with a full twenty carriages, and he was also a little speechless.

As for Meng Yuan, he brought all his ten sisters of Bengji, considering that these are all water tribes, they should be of some help to control the water, so Lei Yun also acquiesced.

Early the next morning, everyone set off in a mighty manner, and when they walked, Lei Yun found that the experts of the Si Nong Division had come alone, and there was not even a single entourage, so he hurriedly inquired about the situation.

Only then did I know that the water conservancy department of the Si Nong Division was a clear water yamen, and it was designed for water conservancy facilities in various places on weekdays, that is, regardless of construction and money and food, the poor jingle sounded, so they could only live on Yulu, and the firewood and rice in Chang'an City were expensive, and several people were very poor.

This time, although the imperial court reimbursed the expenses, the reimbursement of this kind of thing had to wait until the money was spent before giving the money, and a few of them couldn't take out much silver taels to advance, so they had to save it.

When Lei Yun saw that several people were poor like this, he was immediately very happy, so he secretly stuffed each of them with a silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver, and asked them to quickly arrange for the chariots and horses of the entourage.

A few people used to have a lot of complaints about Lei Yun, a Qin cha who didn't understand water conservancy at all, but now they suddenly became as enthusiastic as brothers, and they all competed to get close to Lei Yun.

Lei Yun had silver, and when he saw this, he simply threw money along the way, arranged everyone's diet and daily life in an orderly and comfortable manner, and also bore a certain amount of expenses himself, without them spending a penny.

Therefore, when everyone finally arrived in Qingzhou, these experts had already become friends with Lei Yun, and their friendship was so deep that they almost went out to visit Qinglou together.

On this way, everyone is walking like a tour of the mountains and rivers, and the mood is very happy, but as soon as they enter the territory of Qingzhou Mansion, they found a lot of displaced victims next to the official road, all of them are a few or even a dozen people living in temporary wooden sheds and grass huts, both adults and children are yellow and thin, and they have obviously been short of food for many days.

Lei Yun was immediately taken aback when he saw this situation, he thought that his task was to repair the river embankment, but he didn't expect that there was still disaster relief work to be done together, so he quickly arranged for everyone to go into battle together, boiled several large pots of steaming white rice porridge, and first launched porridge for these victims in front of him.

Because everyone in Leiyun was wearing official uniforms, it had a somewhat deterrent effect on these people, so the order of the distribution of white rice porridge was quite good, and everyone was busy until midnight, and finally the white rice porridge was distributed, and everyone had eaten.

After distributing the porridge, Lei Yun immediately gathered several water conservancy experts to go to the river to check the water situation, only to find that the embankment here has almost completely disappeared, although the flood has receded, but if it is not repaired as soon as possible, it is bound to break out again.

Looking at the grim situation here, Lei Yun frowned and said:

"Now it seems that the problem here is not only the disrepair of the river embankment, but also the lack of disaster relief, so we have to discuss it carefully."

An expert named Li Quanzhong immediately said when he heard this:

"That's true, it's a pity that we don't have money or food in our hands now, otherwise we can actually recruit people on the spot right away and start from here first."

Hearing this, Lei Yun hurriedly asked:

"Can it be done now? But we don't even have drawings yet?"

Li Quanzhong smiled nonchalantly when he heard this, and said:

"It's not easy to get drawings, the whole world's water conservancy drawings are in the minds of a few of us, we have been engaged in a lifetime of design work, to put it bluntly, how to repair, we just need to take a look at the terrain, we can immediately produce the map, not to mention that we have carefully studied before coming, how to repair the river embankment in Qingzhou, a few of us have already counted in our hearts, and Lord Qincha does not have to be embarrassed."

Several other people nodded again and again when they heard this, obviously agreeing with Li Quanzhong's statement, Lei Yun immediately looked impressed by these guys when he heard this, and sighed that Jiang was still old and spicy, no wonder Su Dingfang and Yin Kaishan would choose a few of them, it turned out that they were all genuine.

Lei Yun thought about it, and then said to a few people:

"Since several of you are so sure, then let's start the division of labor now, I am responsible for the overall arrangement of manpower and material resources, and a few of you are responsible for presiding over the specific construction work, tomorrow I will gather the people, and we will start to repair the river embankment, how about it?"

Li Quanzhong was immediately stunned when he heard this, and said:

"It's easy to say that the materials are the big deal, but where does the money come from? Chincha-sama, this is not a decimal. ā€

Hearing this, Lei Yun smiled slightly and said:

"You don't have to worry about this, you arrange the division of labor of your own people, and tomorrow we will start digging soil and cutting trees, and prepare to repair the river embankment."

As soon as several experts heard that Lei Yun was so full of words, they stopped talking and began to discuss their respective division of labor, until midnight, when they dispersed to rest.

Early the next morning, Lei Yun set up several large tables on the official road and put up banners to recruit people's husbands, regardless of men, women and children, all of them were required, and the conditions were also very favorable:

"Three meals a day, meat at a meal, and a salary of one penny of silver per person per day, which is settled on the same day."

At the same time, Xuanwuwei also set up a simple wooden shed next to the official road, set up hundreds of tables, full of steamed buns, rice, stewed meat and boiled fish, as long as they are willing to come to work, they can go in and eat as much as they want, and they are full.

Naturally, this method of recruitment caused a direct sensation, and soon all the victims of the disaster were turned into people:

The men were responsible for digging the earth and cutting down the trees, digging for stones and sand, and building the river embankments, the women were responsible for laundry, cooking, and logistics, and even the frail elderly and children were recruited to do the simple work of serving tea and water.

When several experts saw that the thundercloud had attracted so many people at once, they immediately took action, separately directing the migrant workers to carry out various preparatory work, and were busy checking the terrain and drawing drawings, preparing to start repairing the embankment in a few days.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the project, Xuanchen and Meng Yuan also rode Pegasus to the nearest city respectively, and purchased a large number of tools to bring back and distribute to the people to improve their work efficiency.

Of course, Mei Yan and the other women were not idle, and they all took the maids to be responsible for distributing silver and keeping accounts to the victims, and they were also very busy.

The most worth mentioning is Meng Yuan's Bengji ten sisters, as soon as they arrived here, they dived into the water, only half a day's effort, not only the nearby water flow became very gentle, no longer raging, the water body also became much clearer, very magical.

With Lei Yun's huge investment and meticulous arrangement, only three days later, the preliminary material preparation and drawing work were completed, and the reinforcement of the river embankment here began immediately.

It was only at this time that Lei Yun finally discovered the great role of these experts, and it turned out that the repair of the river embankment was a highly technical work, and it could not be repaired without the guidance of experts.
