Seeing that Gu Yun had gone into the water, Fan Li hurriedly took off his official uniform and waved his hand to find the dozen or so people to work.

Fan Li carried the sandbag into the water slowly, he has not done heavy work since he came to Tanzhou to be the prefect, his hands and feet have been raised with fine skin and tender hands, just went down the river, he felt that the soles of his feet were messed up by the gravel at the bottom of the river, and he stumbled, and the sandbags on his back fell into the water.

Gu Yungang stacked the sandbags in his hand on the embankment, and quickly caught the sandbags that slipped from Fan Li's back.

Fan Li stood firmly, saw Gu Yun holding sandbags and piled them on the river embankment, and said flatteringly, "Gu Xiaohou is so strong, you, a person who practices martial arts, are stronger than our civil officials." ”

Gu Yun paid no attention to his sycophants, and while taking the sandbag from the hand of the old man next to him and putting it on the river embankment, he said coldly, "I asked you to find a hundred people for me, and I found so many?" ”

Fan Li hurriedly explained, "Xiaguan knocked on the door door-to-door in the city, but unfortunately those people are used to living a good life, and they don't even want to come to work, and they all blame Xiaguan for governing this Tanzhou too much and wealthy on weekdays, making them lazy, but don't worry, little marquis, I have arranged for people to go to the surrounding countryside to find people, and I will definitely find you a hundred people." ”

Gu Yun is most annoyed by the officialdom of these officials, and the performance of the government in a roundabout way, not to mention that the prefect of Tanzhou is not a good official who is willing to help the people at all, it can be seen only from the construction of the Xiangyuan embankment.

He can't spare time to clean up people at the moment, and when he returns to the capital, he will make a big fuss and clean up this group of inactive dog officials one by one.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, hurry up and get to work!" Gu Yun scolded with a cold face.

Fan Li said embarrassedly, "Xiaguan will go." ”

By carrying sandbags, he touched Zhou Fang, who was embarrassed and pale, and while looking in Gu Yun's direction, he whispered, "Lord Zhou, what should I do about the official bank?" ”

Zhou Fang was so drenched in the rain that he was about to pass out, and his right ear, which was cut off by Gu Yun, kept roaring, and he couldn't hear what Fan Li was saying at all, and said loudly, "What did you say?" ”

Fan Li was shocked when he saw his blood-red and mutilated right ear, moved to the left side of Zhou Fang, and said to his left ear, "Lord Zhou, what should I do about the official bank?" ”

Zhou Fang glanced at Gu Yun with hatred, and said in a low voice, "What does the matter of Guanyin have to do with me?" The official silver I brought from the capital has always been good, and it has never been opened, and Gu Xiaohou Ye only had an accident when he touched the official silver. If you don't want to get into trouble, you just keep your mouth shut, Master Fan, what should you say and what you shouldn't say without me teaching you, right? ”

Fan Li smiled wryly, "Xiaguan understands in his heart that Xiaguan doesn't know anything about Guanyin." ”

Zhou Fang nodded, bent down to carry the sandbag, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Fan Li exaggeratedly shouted, "Lord Zhou, what's wrong with you, Lord Zhou?" ”

He helped Zhou Fang up from the muddy water, and deliberately shouted at Gu Yun's side, "Why did Lord Zhou faint?" Come on, help Lord Zhou to rest. ”

In the river, Gu Yun was driving piles with iron nails as thick as iron rods, and when he heard the movement, he only glanced at the river bank and ignored it at all.

Fan Li didn't do anything anymore, and directly helped Zhou Fang to rest in the grass shed built on the side.

"My lord, the rain is too heavy, the water level has been rising, let's build a meter high, and the water will rise with it." A man wiped the rain from his face and said loudly to Gu Yun.

The embankment was two meters wide, and it took three bags of sediment to cover the width.

The manpower is really too far behind, just a few dozen people, the speed of building the river embankment, can not keep up with the soaring water level, there is no tight iron chain, and in some places just put sandbags, they are washed away by the river.

Gu Yunjian's brows furrowed, he pointed to the box containing official silver placed on the river bank, and shouted loudly, "Big guy, hurry up, let you suffer!" The silver allocated by the court is on the bank of the river, and as long as the embankment is built, each of you can receive twenty taels of wages!" ”

"We've been working for so many days, but we haven't seen a penny, so you didn't coax us, my lord." Someone whispered.

Gu Yun glanced at everyone, strode onto the riverbank, and lifted the box open, revealing a bright silver ingot.

The workers in the river saw the silver in a commotion.

Gu Yun said loudly, "I, Gu Yun, speak my word, I swear by the title of the Marquis of Annan, as long as the embankment is built, you will definitely get the silver, otherwise I will be called the title of the Marquis of Annan!" I, Gu Yun, the little marquis of the Marquis of Annan, am buried in this Xiangyuan River! ”

"The flood is terrible, you must know in your hearts that the Xiangyuan dam is related to the livelihood of all people, if we can't hold this dam, hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou and Danzhou will be killed. If there is a plague or famine, how can you not be affected? We are all family people, and it is up to you whether we can let them keep their own homes. ”

The people in the river were silent.

It turns out that there are still officials, and their hearts are thinking of them, the people.

It turns out that there are still officials, who want to keep the people safe, and they are doing their best.
