Fu Zida is a typical literati image, fair-skinned, thin, standing in front of the swarthy and rugged Qiu Wugang, as thin as a little chicken. Qiu Wugang obviously had the advantage of body size, but he was forced to be stunned by the determination and grief in Fu Zida's eyes, and a trace of imperceptible weakness flashed on his face.

It is normal for military attaches to their hard work and achievements, and it is the norm for them to look down on civilian officials, and Qiu Wugang also said it in passing, but he didn't expect Fu Zida to be so unprovoked, and after a little humiliation, he couldn't wait to show him his heart, but he told Qiu Wugang that he couldn't get off the stage.

Looking at Fu Zida's reddened eyes, Qiu Wugang felt faint remorse in his heart, but he couldn't pull his face to apologize to him, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Gu Yunji stood up at the right time and took the initiative to ask Qiu Wugang, "Excuse me...... What is this general called?"

Qiu Wugang cleared his throat uncomfortably and said, "Shaoxingwei commands the matter, Qiu Wugang."

In the same rank, military attachés generally have a higher rank than civilian officials, which is also one of the sources of their arrogance. The purpose of the establishment of the Shaoxing Guard Station is to defend the Shaoxing Mansion and carry out patrols and defend against the Japanese invaders.

The highest commander of the guard is the commander, then the commander of the Tongzhi, and then the commander of the affairs, and the official rank of the commander is the fourth grade, and the prefect is on an equal footing, no wonder this Qiu Wugang is so unkind to Fu Zida.

Gu Yunji understood what he said, and arched his hand at him with a smile: "It turned out to be General Qiu."

Qiu Wugang looked at Gu Yunji unscrupulously and looked at him condescendingly: "Are you?"

Gu Yunji looked down at the scarlet official uniform on his body, then looked up at Qiu Wugang again, raised his eyebrows, and his face was full of "Isn't my identity obvious enough?"

Only officials of the fourth rank and above can wear red official uniforms, who else can Gu Yunji be besides the prefect?

Seeing that Qiu Wugang's expression was a little embarrassed, Gu Yunji still introduced himself understandingly: "My name is Gu Yunji, and I am the newly appointed prefect of Shaoxing Mansion, and today is the first day on duty, General Qiu should not have seen me before."

Hearing this, Qiu Wugang pursed his lips and muttered casually: "What kind of person am I still the newly appointed prefect of Shaoxing, but it turned out to be a little white face."

Qiu Wugang's voice was relatively small, but Gu Yunji still heard it clearly, but he didn't want to entangle this with the other party, so he didn't hear it, and pulled back to the previous topic: "General Qiu said that he came this time to ...... What about building roads? What's going on?"

Fu Zida said, "Master Gu, you just came, and you don't know much about it, let me introduce it to you."

After Fu Zida's narration, Gu Yunji probably understood what was going on.

In order to ensure the safety of the coastal people, the garrison has set up long-term garrison camps in some relatively important geographical locations in order to deal with possible Japanese disasters at any time. These battalions are relatively scattered, and food, grass, and military supplies are mainly transported by the guards, and they are replenished regularly.

The way to one of the camps was through a swampy area, and the road was very difficult to repair, which was not only expensive, but also difficult to find the stone to tamp the roadbed, and it was difficult to complete the construction in a short time.

In order to meet the emergency, wooden planks linked by ropes were laid on the swamp floor, barely enough to be used as a road. However, the carrying capacity of this boardwalk is very poor, and the carriages and horses can not walk, so they can only rely on manpower to carry it.

Fu Zida said: "If you want to solve the problem completely, you have to use large pieces of hard stones, deposit them at the bottom of the swamp, and then fill them with gravel and sand, so that the roadbed is tamped little by little."

"Although the marshland is not large, there is a great demand for stones, and the texture of the stones that are common in the area is relatively soft, and after soaking in water for a long time, it is easy to break and eventually sink."

Gu Yunji thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any other way to go?"

Fu Zida said: "Yes, there is, but it is too far and too detouring, and it will pass through a large dense forest, which is very likely to be ambushed and attacked by the Japanese bandits, in comparison, the road is safer and faster in the swamp."

It sounds a little tricky.

Gu Yunji frowned slightly, and muttered, "If the stone is not available locally, can it?"

Where else do you buy it?"

Without waiting for Fu Zida to answer, Qiu Wugang interjected in a loud voice, "Why can't you? There is a bluestone production area in Jinhua Mansion next door, bluestone is hard, often used as a building material, and it is no problem to even repair the house, can't it be used to tamp the roadbed?"

"Obviously there is a ready-made method here, but they refuse to do it, from the beginning of the year to now, it has been dragged back and forth, almost half a year, and the road has still not been repaired! It was very difficult to transport supplies, and once the boardwalk was suddenly damaged, and the food could not be transported, so that hundreds of brothers in our camp almost starved to death there!"

Listening to Qiu Wugang's accusation, Gu Yunji glanced at him unexpectedly, turned his head and asked Fu Zida, "Is that so?"

Fu Zida showed a wry smile: "My lord, can we not know that bluestone is a suitable material? But firstly, the high price of bluestone has greatly increased the financial burden of the government, and secondly, the bluestone in Jinhua Mansion is in short supply, and the original goods are tight, so we can't rank it."

"It just so happened that the former prefect Wu sent a letter to the official, and you have not yet taken office, and the officials of our government have written to negotiate with the officials of Jinhua Mansion several times, but when people see that our prefect is not there, they don't pay attention to us at all, and it is difficult for us to do it."

Going around, Gu Yunji didn't expect to have his own pot.

Although he arrived on time and did not exceed the time limit stipulated by the imperial court, it was indeed because of the handover of the prefect that the purchase of bluestone was repeatedly blocked, and he also took some indirect responsibility.

After hearing what happened, Gu Yunji said: "So that's the case, that's right, now that I'm in office, I can write to the prefect of Jinhua Mansion immediately, asking them to give priority to transferring a batch of bluestone raw materials, and the price can also be negotiated." After all, the two state capitals are close to each other, so it is also appropriate to help each other."

Saying that, Gu Yunji turned to Qiu Wugang again: "As for the swamp side, before the bluestone is transported back, I also ask General Qiu to be considerate and continue to use the boardwalk for the time being."

"What? You have to use a boardwalk?!" Qiu Wugang raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, "The boardwalk has been used for almost half a year, when will it be used?" The brothers of the guard house carried back and forth on their shoulders and shoulders, tired like animals, and the feelings are not that your people are not distressed, right?"

Gu Yunji said as eloquently as he could, "I can't guarantee the time, I can only say that it will be as soon as possible, after all, I don't know much about the situation in Jinhua Mansion now. But please rest assured, General Qiu, we will definitely solve the road matter."

Qiu Wugang was unrelenting: "Last time you came, you were this set of rhetoric, and this time you are still here?" You only say that it will be solved, and you don't say when, tomorrow's solution is called a solution, and ten years later, it is also called a solution, don't try to fool me!"

"How long does the boardwalk take? When will Bluestone come back? When will the road be built? Let me tell you, if you don't explain these issues to Lao Tzu today, Lao Tzu will rely on you and not leave!"
