The structural materials used in the repair of embankments are generally stone and wooden piles, and the wooden piles are generally used as the foundation (pile foundation) and the stone as the main body.

The stones are generally connected with stone ingots or iron ingots, and are hooked with lime, glutinous rice, tung oil, etc.

But Lin Jingdan and they are in order to reduce costs, the wooden piles are all rotten wood, and the joints are not made of lime, glutinous rice, tung oil, etc., but yellow mud.

In this way, they can save a lot of money.

If it is only used to repair the gaps, or rebuild a small area, it can still be done, after all, there is the original foundation.

But I didn't expect that when he was leading people to repair just now, the embankment in front of him suddenly collapsed a hundred meters, fortunately, it is not the flood season, the water level of the Yellow River is still relatively low, and there is no water gushing out.

But if you only rely on rotten wood and yellow mud for such a long distance, I am afraid it will not work.

"The water is coming up?" Lin Jingdan frowned and asked.

"Hui Daren, no, it's not the flood season, and the water level of the Yellow River is relatively low." Liu Xing bent down and bowed and said.

Lin Jingdan glanced at Liu Xing, and said angrily, "Then what's there to worry about, isn't it okay, just like that, just send someone to buy some good materials to repair it." ”

Liu Xing smiled with a compliment on his face, "My lord is wise, how can I not think of such a way to be lowly, or you are an adult." ”

Lin Jingdan glanced at the migrant workers who were repairing the embankment not far away, and frowned in disgust, "Okay, don't be a sycophant, don't hurry up, what are you waiting for, wait for me to do it!" ”

"Yes, yes, let's go."

Liu Xing turned around and left upside down to buy wooden stakes and other things.

Lin Jingdan looked at the hot people by the Yellow River again, and then sat on the chair placed in the shade of the tree, and the attendants on the side saw him sit down and hurriedly fanned him.

The maid on the side also fed him the freshly washed fruit.

Lin Jingdan, who was being served, narrowed his eyes slightly, no wonder everyone was vying for this job, and he really enjoyed it.

Lin Jingdan, who was enjoying himself, didn't know that there was suddenly a strange man by the Yellow River, who was extremely good at talking, and soon integrated into the other people.

The person who came was none other than Shuoshan, who was sent by Si Yunlan to investigate the repair of the Yellow River embankment.

Shuoshan was originally Si Yunlan's little servant, but later learned martial arts, and has always been Si Yunlan's most trusted Shuoshan.

Shuoshan was tall, dark-skinned, and really looked like a folk husband, coupled with his honest smile, he soon broke into the ranks of folk husbands.

He looked at the rotten wood and the reconciled yellow mud on the side, and frowned, they really dared to be shoddy.

Shuoshan carried a bucket of yellow mud and walked to the embankment with a shovel and began to mend the gaps.

He specially found a place where there were few people, that is, there was only a middle-aged man in a short shirt and then filled the yellow mud, he leaned over and wanted to ask something from the middle-aged man's mouth.

"Alas, who are you, big brother?"

"Wangjiazhuang, what about you, big brother?" The middle-aged man was talking and working with his hands and feet neatly.

"Wangjiazhuang's? Hey, how can you say that it's still a relative, my fourth uncle is from that village. ”

Hearing Shuoshan say this, the middle-aged man was obviously very interested, "What's the name of your fourth uncle and grandfather, I really know it." ”

Shuoshan frowned and thought about it, "Alas, look at my brain, I forgot what it was called, but my fourth uncle and grandfather are poor, and they are still single." ”

"Single?" The middle-aged man thought for a moment, "It can't be Wang Shunzi, right?" It should be him, and he is an old bachelor in our village. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's Wang Shunzi, big brother knows?" Shuoshan looked at him in surprise.

"Know, know, speaking of which we are really close, my grandfather and he are cousins who have not come out of five suits, my name is Wang Shishi, what is your name, where is home?" Wang Shishi asked.

"Then I'll call you Brother Wang, you can call me Dashan, it's from Shanghe Village."

"Shanghe Village?" Wang Shishi looked at Shuoshan in surprise, "Shanghe Village is far away from here, almost twenty miles away, why did you come here?" ”

"Hey, it's not that the family is poor, come here to eat and live, and you can earn three melons and two dates." Shuoshan said with a sigh.

Wang Shishi nodded clearly when he heard this, "It's okay, we can be regarded as acknowledging each other today, and we will help each other a little bit when we work in the future." ”

"Ugh." Shuoshan responded with a smile, watching Wang Shishi's hand keep moving, his eyes rolled, and while working, he said casually, "This court is quite good, and it knows how to build a dam for our people." ”

After hearing this, Wang Shishi pursed his lips and snorted, "It's good, don't you look at what kind of things are used here, rotten wood, yellow mud, how much can you manage." ”

"Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?"

As soon as Wang Shishi wanted to say something, there was a knock on the basin in the distance, "Put the rice - put the rice - "

Wang Shi put down the things in his hand and beckoned Shuoshan, "Let's go, go eat first, otherwise it will be gone in a while." ”

Shuoshan put down his things and got up to follow Wang Shishi.

The militiamen's food committee is really not good, a bowl of vegetable soup, two mixed noodles steamed buns, there is sand in the steamed buns, and the teeth are not good.

But the militiamen are used to eating, and they just spit out big stones when they encounter them, and gobble them up one by one.

Although Shuoshan also suffered when he was a child, he had never eaten such a bad meal since he arrived at Gongzi's side, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he imported the steamed buns mixed with sand.

Wang Shishi saw him stunned and looked at the steamed bun in his hand, "What do you see, why don't you eat it, eat it quickly, you can rest for a while after eating it early." ”

"Eat." Shuoshan finished eating the steamed buns in his hand in two bites, and then found a shade with Wang Shishi to sit down and rest for a while.

"Brother Wang, don't you think the food we ate is bad?"

Wang Shishi glanced at him with a clear expression, "It's the first time you dare to do this job." ”

"Let Brother Wang guess, there was a famine at home a few years ago, isn't this just ......," Shuoshan said with an embarrassed expression.

"This embankment, the imperial court will send someone to repair it every few years, this thing, it is also worse than the last, you see what is used to repair the dam this time, rotten wood, yellow mud, last time it was still good wood and glutinous rice, and last time there was lime.

This is even more delicious, some of them are good, so don't pick the fat and the thin.

Be quick with your hands and feet, finish your work, and go home with the money. ”

After listening to Wang Shishi's words, Shuoshan's eyes darkened, and he responded with a smile, "Yes, yes, what Brother Wang said is right." ”

They didn't have to rest for long, and soon someone called them to work.

The migrant workers got up one after another and got ready to start working, and one by one they were working with their heads down, and no one noticed that the extra migrant worker in the crowd had disappeared again.
