Gu Yun nodded at him, although he didn't know if the Zhecheng County Order came over to sell well, but he sent the chain over in time, which could be regarded as a great help, and Gu Yun didn't treat him coldly.

"You and the people of Tanzhou City have been working hard all night, you and them go and rest, Xiaguan and the people of Zhecheng are staring at the Xiangyuan embankment here, and they will never let the embankment have an accident." Zhecheng County Order.

The rain does not stop, the water level does not subside, Gu Yun will not leave the Xiangyuan embankment, he glanced at the other people next to him who have been working all night without stopping, dozens of them have been working on the embankment since yesterday daylight until now.

And he saw that they were weary and tired, and they were very tired.

Gu Yun said to Seventeen, "Bring the box containing the official silver." ”

Seventeen went to the grass shed to carry out the box containing official silver, Gu Yun wiped the rain dripping from the hair on his forehead, opened the lid of the box, and said to the workers, "Get paid." ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the people who were working cheered up, and they surrounded Gu Yun, forming a long line in an orderly manner.

"You need to keep an account, so that you don't die without proof in the future." Liu Ziqi reminded loudly.

Gu Yun recklessly broke into the post station and snatched out this box of official silver, I am afraid that this silver will be more confused in the future, Liu Ziqi can't let this silver become a handle for others to frame Gu Yun in the future.

Gu Yun nodded and asked Seventeen to find a pen and paper.

Seventeen flew away, but after a stick of incense, he went to the nearest house in the city to borrow paper and pencils, Liu Ziqi spread out the paper under the grass shed, and Gu Yun began to pay people.

The people who received the silver, Liu Ziqi asked for the name, and wrote down the name and the silver received on the paper.

A person stepped forward, and after Gu Yun gave him twenty taels, the man hurriedly returned Gu Yun a silver ingot of ten taels, and said, "Official, I don't want so much, I'm ...... I was later. ”

Someone behind him said in a loud voice, "Official, I don't take so much, we worked all night, unlike those dozens of brothers who have been doing it for so many days." ”

Immediately after that, more voices came from behind, and these people were the 100 people who were arrested by the prefect's yamen officials.

Gu Yun looked at their faces, although they were all stained with muddy water and embarrassed, but they were simple and honest, his eyes were a little moist, he glanced at Liu Ziqi, and saw Liu Ziqi nodding at him, Gu Yun said in a dumb voice, "Okay." ”

There was no scramble, and more than 130 people lined up in an orderly manner to receive their wages, and all of them smiled in the rain.

The thirty or so men who had been working on the embankment did not feel that they had lost money because the others had only worked for one night and received ten taels of silver.

A total of more than 1,700 taels of silver were issued, and there were still more than 1,000 taels of silver left in the box, after counting, Gu Yun hesitated and said to Liu Ziqi, "Do the people brought by the county order still have to pay their wages?" ”

When the man who was very close to the hut heard this, he said loudly, "Little Marquis, we don't want silver, I came to help voluntarily." ”

Gu Yun and Liu Ziqi looked at him, this man was the Zhecheng man who had excellent water quality and tied iron bolts in the water.

"Pang County's order said that if the embankment of Xiangyuan is broken, we will be the first to ...... Only by guarding the Xiangyuan embankment will our fields and houses not be flooded. The man said.

Gu Yun looked at Pang Kuan, the commander of Zhecheng County on the side, and said quickly, "In this case, why didn't you bring someone to build the embankment earlier, and what kind of face work did you rush over at this time?" ”

Gu Yun still felt that this Pang Kuan was leading the people to show it afterwards.

Zhecheng County Commander smiled bitterly, before he could speak, the man on the side had already said urgently, "Originally, our county commander came to see it, saying that the Tanzhou prefect didn't care about building the embankment, no one took care of things, even if we came, it would be a waste of manpower, and we couldn't build the embankment, so we could only rely on ourselves." ”

"Pang County Commander led us to fill the embankment downstream of Zhecheng with gravel and mountain blocks to fill in three zhang high, and also went door to door to inspect our houses, so that the houses that were dangerous and easy to collapse moved to the houses of good people to live together, and kept telling us that if the embankment really bursts, we must go to a high place, climb trees and climb the roofs of the mountains, the little marquis and our county orders are good people!"

As soon as the man's voice fell, the people of Zhecheng took over and said, "What he said is true, and the people of Zhecheng can testify to the Pang County Order!" Pang County Ling also selected many men with good water nature, and told us that if the water is distributed, we must save the people in the village. ”

After this person finished speaking, someone continued, "Pang County Ling has been guarding the Zhecheng River for the past few days, seeing that the rain is so heavy, and there has been no torrent in the upper reaches, so he called someone to come to the Xiangyuan River embankment to take a look, and knew that it was the little marquis that you led people to build the embankment, guarded the Xiangyuan embankment, and intercepted the water in the upper reaches of Guling, Lanzhou, so he hurriedly took us here." ”

"Yes, what they said is true!" A group of Zhecheng people spoke up one after another, "Our county magistrate is a good person, and he is good to us people." ”

Gu Yun listened to this chaotic voice, and looked at Pang Kuan, the commander of Zhecheng County, his nasal cavity was a little sour, which could make the people of a city say such things, which showed that this person was indeed a good official.

"It's me who blames you, I'm sorry, I'm ......" Gu Yun touched his nose a little embarrassedly, showed a wry smile, and his voice was a little difficult, "There are too few good officials now......"
