Wei Wuchao took a step forward, the sword in his hand unsheathed, and the chair next to him suddenly shattered into slag.

A group of guards were busy escorting people to the prison of the county guard.

Ma Decai reacted and kept yelling, "It's all against you, don't you know who your master is, come on, take Gu Ze down for me." ”

"This official suspects that this person is a pretending minister."

But no matter how loud he shouted, no one dared to arrest Gu Huaisheng, leaving aside his own momentum, as soon as Wei Wuchao stood there, he smashed the chair into slag with a sword, and they were all worried in their hearts.

Gu Huaisheng used the name of the county guard early in the morning to convene more than a dozen magistrates under Qingcheng County, and had a meeting, showing all the account books of Ma Decai's corruption, and also telling the results of the inspection, saying that he temporarily took over the county guard mansion during the period when he was the minister of the Qin Mission.

Many of the supporters of Ma Decai in the county naturally expressed dissatisfaction, and even questioned that the other party could not be determined to be the minister of the Qincha just by virtue of a holy decree.

Qingcheng County is a crucial county town.

Gu Huaisheng coldly slapped out the token of His Royal Highness the Prince, and everyone was suddenly silenced.

Gu Huaisheng gave several instructions resolutely.

The first is to send all the government soldiers to dredge the drainage ditch.

The second is to order all the people in the downstream area to clean up the Fushougou at the door, and send people to inspect it after seven days.

The third is recruitment.

After the meeting, he ordered someone to post a list.

Due to the perennial disrepair of the embankment, there is an urgent need to recruit workers, 1,000 people, four taels of silver a month, and all those who are interested in signing up go to the county guard to queue up for registration.

Usually, this kind of engineering work is a lot of two taels a month, but this time it turned out to be four taels.

Doubled.

Under the heavy money, there will be workers.

For a while, there was a long queue of people outside the gate of the county guard's mansion.

Gu Huaisheng also instructed the magistrates to buy all the stone and wood piles that could be bought in each area, as well as the lime ones, and then the county guard government settled the bill.

After Ma Decai was imprisoned, Gu Huaisheng checked all his family property and found that he only had 10,000 taels.

Ma Decai is a powerful person, and he loves to take advantage.

Qingcheng County is rich, and in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, as a county guard, he is not greedy, that is impossible.

But the whole family wealth turned out to be only 10,000 taels.

Puzzled for a moment, Gu Huaisheng didn't bother, first truthfully reported the situation here to the imperial court, and said that Ma Decai had embezzled the money for regular maintenance before, and he didn't know where to hide, so he had not recruited yet, so he begged the imperial court to allocate funds first.

As soon as this urgent news reached the imperial court, many ministers immediately began to oppose it.

thinks that Gu Huaisheng is making a big fuss, and the previous Qincha has said that it is okay, but how can it become very serious in his current session, and he has to repair it in such a hurry, he thinks that repairing the embankment is to write an article, just put pen to paper.

The process of repairing the dam is also cumbersome, and it will take a month for the final approval to be completed at the earliest.

The ministers who recommended him at the beginning couldn't help but regret it, it seems that they are still young, they only read a few books, and they have unique opinions, so they think that they can do anything.

In addition to the urgent report, Gu Huaisheng also wrote a letter to King Rui alone, telling the truth about the actual situation, and telling King Rui that his coming to inspect Qingcheng County this time was definitely done on purpose.

Let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pay more attention in the capital.

The day after the urgent report was received, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince overwhelmed the public opinion, approved the appropriation, and supported it as quickly as possible.

and ordered that it was strictly forbidden to disclose this matter to the father of the Heungdeok Palace.

My father knew he wouldn't allow it.

He had no other way.

As soon as the crown prince's decree came out, there was a controversy in the court, only a few ministers who supported King Rui agreed, and the rest of the ministers all objected, believing that His Royal Highness did not distinguish between right and wrong. Cola Literature

An inexperienced person says that if you want to build a dam, you will allocate money, do you think it is to build a bridge?

How much manpower, money, and materials will be spent.

King Rui was not unwavering, but remembering the situation mentioned in Mr.'s letter, he still chose to believe Mr. in the end.

…………

February Flower Restaurant.

A man dressed as a guard respectfully reported the matter.

"My lord, Ma De was just sent to prison."

The man who was called an adult was about fifty years old, with a slightly fat body, a mustache, and crooked eyebrows, but he looked a little kind.

It's just that the words he said were very cold, even with disdain, "The official already knew that this Ma Decai was so incompetent, and the official promoted him in vain." ”

was found so quickly, put him in prison, and made a fuss about corruption.

After a while, the man said casually: "Did he confess anything?" ”

"No, I heard that Gu Ze hasn't tortured him yet."

"Hmph, that's just right, give him a good time, he is saying things that shouldn't be said."

Now that he was discovered, he was useless.

The guard should be respectful, and said: "My lord, then Gu Ze has already begun to order people to repair the embankment, according to his scale, I am afraid that it can be completed in a month, and when the time comes, it will be a great achievement." ”

The adult frowned, thought for a while, and then smiled faintly, with sarcasm, "Don't worry about him, let him cultivate, as long as he cultivates." ”

…………

Since Gu Huaisheng took over the county guard's mansion, he has been busy day and night in the past few days.

The lime in the major counties is in an emergency.

Wooden piles are used as the foundation for the construction of the embankment, and the stone is used as the main body.

The main joining materials are generally connected with stone ingots or iron ingots, and joints are made of lime, glutinous rice, tung oil, etc.

If one lime is missing, how to hook the joints?

Gu Huaisheng reprimanded, how could it be that all of them were in a hurry at once, it was obvious that they were not doing well.

A group of magistrates were busy crying, saying that there was really no, and building the embankment was not to renovate the house, and the amount was large, who had nothing to prepare so much.

Generally, the maintenance of the embankment is prepared in advance, and this kind of order is given today, and I can't wait to repair it the day after tomorrow, where can I prepare all the materials needed at once.

Gu Huaisheng showed a helpless look, and waved away from the magistrate with a sad face.

Say figure it out yourself.

At this time, it is obviously impossible to transport him from other places, and it will take ten days and half a month to transport him, and the dam will not be repaired.

So in the past few days, he has been running around for materials, non-stop.

Just after the crowd thought that the dam project had to be put on hold for a while, the lime arrived on the third day.

One carriage after another, the queue was long.

Zhongzhi County was dumbfounded, where did you get so much lime at this time?

Gu Huaisheng just explained that he happened to know a friend who was selling lime, so he dragged the favor and sent it back urgently.

His voice was tired, and his face was vicissitudes, as if it really took a lot of effort to get these limes.

Zhongzhi County was puzzled, but no one asked again.
