"Mingfu, why are you here?"

"It's okay, you guys do you, I'll just hang out."

On the outskirts of Longcheng County, Shaojia Village, a wharf.

Ouyang Rong came early in the morning to supervise the construction, although he said that he was casually shopping.

But is the leader's casual strolling, is it casual?

At this moment, the small wharves and small villages that no one cared about were gradually becoming lively because of the excavation of the folding wing canal carried out by the whole county.

The wild ferry wharf in Shaojia Village was originally inconspicuous.

Although it is the junction of the straight river and the curved river in the middle of the Butterfly Creek, most of the southern boats from Yunmengze upstream sail directly through this place, enter the winding main channel, and go to Penglangdu, which is close to the city in the distance.

At present, the county's eye-catching folding wing canal is like a ghostly axe to cut and straighten, break the wings of Butterfly Creek, and change the main river.

Next, a relatively straight and reasonably curvature main channel will be excavated.

Ignore the original old Butterfly Creek Road, which will be relegated from a side road.

Let the river water flow directly to the main stream of the Yangtze River on the north side, increase the flood discharge capacity of Butterfly Creek, and withstand the large water upstream.

As a result, this waterfront village at the junction of the river meanders and straightens has become the upper mouth of the newly opened river section and the starting point of the folding wing canal.

The Yedu Wharf in Shaojia Village has also become an important ferry port for unloading and transporting materials to dig the river, and the resources mobilized by the Ya of Longcheng County for the preparation of the Folding Wing Canal have all been transported here by boat, which is also a convenience for the development of water transportation in Longcheng County.

"This scene of vitality and competition for all things...... It's a day out here. ”

Ouyang Rong crossed his hands on his hips, standing on a sentry mound by the river, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He was followed by Yan Liulang, Liu Ashan, and the county government responsible for digging the river.

"The Ming Mansion has invested so much manpower and material resources here, it's hard not to be lively."

It was Yan Rokuro who answered.

This kid really doesn't learn well, and he is talking more and more like Diao Xiancheng.

Ouyang Rong smiled, turned his head and gently instructed the officials to continue to be busy, and there was no need to follow him.

After the people left, Ouyang Rong led Yan Liulang and Liu Ashan towards the upper entrance of the new river that was under construction.

He tied the corners of his official uniform in knots higher to prevent them from getting dirty.

The three of them talked as they walked.

Yan Liulang held the scabbard in his arms and suggested:

"In fact, the Ming Mansion doesn't need to do everything by himself, you can take a proper rest, just grasp the general direction, and leave the following things to the people in the official office who should do things."

Looking at the back of the young county magistrate, the blue-clothed catcher couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Ming Mansion ran over early this morning, and he and the other officials jumped down to dig the soil and carry the burden for fear that the Ming Mansion would not agree with him.

Not to mention, it's really not impossible to put this matter on this Ming Mansion who loves to toss.

"Besides, the people below have been idle for too long, so it's time for them to go. The preparations in the early stage of the Folding Wing Canal were all busy with the Ming Mansion, and now the rules and regulations are listed, when to do something, the Ming Mansion will teach them by hand. ”

"What is the rest, I don't come here, where am I going?"

"Mingfu can go and see Miss Xie more." Yan Liulang suggested euphemistically.

"I went to see it a few days ago, the little junior sister looks very good, but it's a little strange, why is she still lying in bed? My aunt also sent me to deliver food every day. ”

"It must be seriously injured, Ming Mansion should go and take care of some senior brothers."

"If you go again, you will be familiar with the Su family soon. Wait, you kid taught me how to do things. The corners of Ouyang Rong's mouth twitched.

"No, no, no. Then don't ask Miss Xie, are you willing to go back to Merlot Park with the Ming Mansion to recuperate? ”

“……”

Ouyang Rong ignored it, pointed to the front and nagged:

"At the top of the new channel, remember to leave a thick wall to keep the water out, and then blow it up when the river is finished, and release the water into the new canal...... By the way, do we have explosives? ”

This time, it was Yan Liulang's turn to be stunned, "What is explosives?" ”

Ouyang Rong paused, continued to move forward, and shook his head: "It's okay, if you can't blow it up, just dig it by hand." Hey, it's too slow. ”

He had heard the little junior sister mention before that on the night of the burning of the tent in the East Treasury last time, the mysterious immortal seeker would throw a thing that exploded flames, and the one who burned Lao Cui's head later seemed to be a strange ingredient in it.

Ouyang Rong thought that gunpowder was used in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but after careful questioning, he found out that this thing seemed to be called the Fu Huo Alum Method at the moment, which was made up by the Taoist priests and magicians who practiced the Wai Dan Technique, and it belonged to the crooked and evil way.

It seems that only the group of god-chattering magicians have some strange research on this way, and it is the evil art in the mouth of the little junior sister.

Moreover, this world was blessed with the Mythical Qi Alchemy Technique that was beyond the scope of his cognition, and Ouyang Rong didn't know if it was the same as the cognition he brought in his previous life.

Anyway, it's all specious and common sense, like a mess, Ouyang Rong can't sort it out for the time being, and he doesn't want to waste time sorting it out.

He was afraid of exploring too much, and he fell into it, and he was reluctant to go back because he was bound by people and things.

In addition, Ouyang Rong saw that this water control was not far from success, he had insomnia last night, he couldn't bear it, and secretly went to the merit tower.

"Dig with your hands, dig with your hands."

On the country road, Ouyang Rong walked ahead, muttering in his mouth.

Yan Liulang was shocked when he heard this:

"Mingfu, where are we slow, it's already fast, okay......

"If other counties are shelved, it will take half a load just to prepare in the early stage, and it will take half a load to convene manpower before implementation, and it is estimated that the final start of construction will have to be delayed until the beginning of spring next year at the earliest."

Seeing the young county commander in front of him shaking his head, Yan Liulang couldn't laugh or cry a little:

"Ming Fuling has already taken us to finish the upstream and downstream around the Dragon Boat Festival, reviewed the water nature, measured the slope of the riverbed, made a simulated sand table with high accuracy, and also tested the feasibility of the new canal......

"Now there are Wang Shao's shopkeepers, Li shopkeepers, and Cheng Yuanwai who are responsible for preparing materials for the new ferry, and the goods have almost arrived one after another in the past few days, and the brothers led by the county government and the Ahsan brothers are now just digging step by step according to your plan in the Ming Mansion, and it is estimated that the digging will be completed by the end of the year...... It's not slow. ”

To be honest, not only Yan Liulang and Liu Ashan at this moment, but also the officials of the entire county government that was in operation, including Diao Xiancheng, were a little surprised that the speed could be so fast.

However, when I thought of a certain micro-manipulation master who wanted to try to direct the excavation position of even a shovel on the front line of the ditch, I was relieved.

Ouyang Rong sighed: "But it's still too slow." ”

Yan Liulang and Liu Ahan glanced at each other.

Subsequently, Ouyang Rong took a turn on the front line of the hot ditch digging construction, and returned with them with a frown.

In fact, he said that it was slow because only he knew that in recent months, it is likely that there will be another rainy season in Yunmengze.

The current Broken Wing Canal can indeed solve the subsequent flooding in Longcheng once and for all, but this is after it has been dug through, and before that, if the water rises again, it will naturally be helpless, and it may even affect the construction of the Folding Wing Canal.

This is also a matter of urgency.

When he first took office in Longcheng, he was already clearly aware of this, but most of everyone, including Diao Xiancheng, was skeptical.

Even when Ouyang Rong announced the new construction before, most of the people of Longcheng subconsciously thought that the next big water mentioned in his speech would be a few years after tomorrow, after all, according to a certain slip, a big flood in four years......

But the construction of the Folding Wing Canal is also important.

In addition to inspiring the people, accumulating strength, uniting the majority and isolating the Liu clan, it can also play a role in attacking and defending the situation.

Now on the bright side, everyone can see that it is not the Liu family that uses the Di Gong Gate to boil him, but that he is using the Folding Wing Canal to boil the Liu family.

It's just that at the moment, the young county magistrate who has achieved the advantage of "people" at the table in Longcheng County must rethink a problem.

Is it more important to control the water, or is it more important to deal with the Liu family, or is there some time, the two are not in conflict?

However, he is not completely helpless about the big water that may come in the near future......

After inspecting the circle, Ouyang Rong and others bid farewell to Shaojia Village, boarded the boat at Yedu Wharf, and returned to Penglangdu in the county.

On the way, in the river breeze on all sides, in a secluded place on the bow of the boat, Ouyang Rong looked back and asked, "Liulang, Wang Caozhi's side, how did they find the people?" ”

Yan Liulang looked left and right, and whispered:

"They said that there are relatively few skilled craftsmen who can build that kind of water conservancy sluice in Jiangzhou, and they belong to a very fine category, and even if there is, they are fragrant and sweet to repair water conservancy in various counties, and they will not be easily let go, just like the group of craftsmen that the Liu family raised in the ancient Yue Sword.

"So for now, we can only look for it in farther states to see if we can get enough people, and they say it will take some time."

Ouyang Rong frowned slightly, there are not too many skills used in the Folding Wing Canal, as long as the general direction is determined, and then a large amount of manpower can be applied.

However, the construction of Di Gong Gate is indeed a technical work in this era, although the amount of construction is small.

Although he has strong hands-on ability and loves to toss, he thinks that he has not yet been able to rub it out against the sky.

Ouyang Rong had also been upstream to see the ruins of Di Gong Gate a few times before, and he still had some bottom in his heart about some things.

Ouyang Rong was silently calculating, and Yan Liulang's low-pitched voice floated from behind:

"Mingfu...... In fact, there is something I don't understand under my subordinates, don't we have a broken wing canal, why do you have to take care of the matter of Di Gongzha, didn't you say before that it can only treat the symptoms, manage for a while, and have no rule of law, and manage a lifetime? ”

Ouyang Rong groaned: "Liulang, sometimes, it may be this time when it is missing." ”

"Master, there has been some movement on the Liu family's side recently."

"Oh?" Ouyang Rong looked back.

Liu Ashan, who has been in a small transparent state behind him, suddenly said:

"I heard from an acquaintance in the Guyue Sword Shop that the Liu family has recently begun to vacate an important sword furnace on the west bank, leaving hundreds of craftsmen idle one after another, and I don't know what to do."

He paused, then continued:

"Recently, the Liu family has often sent people to explore the situation of the Folding Wing Canal, it should be very difficult to keep it on our side, the Liu family tree has deep roots, and there are too many acquaintances with eyeliner."

"Understood, hard work Ah Shan, continue to star."

Ouyang Rong nodded, and fell into deep thought again:

"Liu Ziwen: This is ...... In a hurry? ”

In fact, Ouyang Rong was not surprised by the news in the back, but the news in front ...... It's a little intriguing.

Could it be that the Liu family was in a hurry, ready to loosen their mouths on the matter of Di Gongzha, which had been deadlocked for a long time, and bow their heads and admit their mistakes?

Otherwise, why would you spare so many craftsmen to do it?

Someone who lacks valid information can only think in this direction.

After a while, the young county commander still faced the river wind, breathed a sigh of relief, and increased his confidence.

Regardless of whether the Liu family is ready to admit cowardice, or is ready to resist stubbornly.

But at least they began to get anxious when they were originally as motionless as the turtle king bastards, and they began to move slowly by him, which can be regarded as a slightly better trend.

"I'm not afraid that you will do it, but I am afraid that you will not move, and there will be no flaws. As long as it starts moving, the 10,000-year-old turtle has to show its head. ”

Ouyang Rong stood at the bow of the boat and muttered.

The clothes I bought are on the way...... (There will be one more at 12 o'clock)
