Chapter 62: Prison Visits

There was still silence in the courtroom, and no one dared to stand up and speak.

Even Zheng Guo, who is proficient in canal construction and water control, is the same.

In that place in Surabaya County, whoever touches it is unlucky.

But even so, you can't just let it go, right?

Seeing that no one stood up, Ying Zheng set his eyes on Li Si.

"Prime Minister, I will leave this matter to you, and come up with a way within three days."

"If not, the princes of the court will go to Surabaya County to repair the canal and control the water!"

Hearing this, Li Si couldn't help but look embarrassed.

He knew that this unfortunate errand would fall on him.

"Command!"

After retiring from the dynasty, Li Sisi still felt that he should go to Xianyang Prison.

Therefore, after returning home and changing into regular clothes, Li Si went directly to Xianyang Prison.

I happened to see Ran Fang and Fusu in the yard, doing some "weird" movements, and the two looked out of breath.

Seeing Li Si coming, Fusu was about to step forward to say hello, but Na Ran Fang acted as if he didn't see it, and continued to do his own thing.

Fusu had no choice but to retract his steps and follow Ran Fang to continue to make movements skillfully.

Li Si, who was standing there, was not easy to urge, so he stood there and looked at the two of them with interest.

After a while, he waited until Ran Fang stood there and didn't move before he stepped forward.

"Sir, what are you doing in the morning?"

Ran Fang glanced at Li Si, picked up the cloth on the shelf next to him, and said while wiping his sweat: "It's not good to sit in prison, get up every morning and exercise, it will help your health." ”

"What? Do you want to learn too? ”

"No," Li Si waved his hand, this was not the purpose of his coming over today, if he really let Ran Fang teach him for a while, it is estimated that the serious matter will be delayed.

He walked next to Ran Fang, glanced at Fusu with a red face, and his heart secretly moved, he did look healthier than when he came in.

I can't help but feel a little excited.

"Next time, next time I'll come back to learn."

Ran Fang's footsteps didn't stop for a moment, and walked in the direction of his cell.

When he heard him say this, he replied casually: "Mr. Su's father has also studied, so you can just learn from him." ”

"Hehe," Li Si smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect Ran Fang to be so unkind to him.

But there was no temper on his face, and he followed Ran Fang into the cell and stood there.

He waited for Ran Fang to finish washing his face and drink a bowl of porridge and sit there before he stepped forward and sat opposite Ran Fang.

"Sir, I came over today for a matter and would like to ask Mr. to help me solve my doubts."

Hearing this, Fusu held the hand of the porridge bowl and froze, this is another big thing that happened in the court.

He turned his gaze to Ran Fang, but saw that Ran Fang's expression was as usual, he glanced at Li Si a few more times, and did not answer, nor did he say no.

couldn't help but make Fusu sweat, this is because he is not satisfied.

Seeing Ran Fang's attitude, Li Si also moved in his heart, this was unwilling to answer his own question.

After pondering for a while, Li Si bowed.

"If Mr. can solve this puzzle for me, I am willing to pay a thousand dollars to thank Mr."

Seeing Li Si like this, Ran Fang nodded slightly.

During this time in prison, he also discovered that it was better to count on himself than to count on this group of people to save him.

But who can stand it if it's always a white prostitute?

You can't save it, you have to give some benefit, don't you?

"Say it."

Seeing that he agreed, Li Sicai spoke: "Mr. knows that my family and Su Gongzi's family are both doing business, and doing business is naturally to go south and north, but recently I have encountered a problem. ”

"There was a flood in Surabaya County, the people were displaced, thousands of acres of fertile land were flooded, and our business was naturally lost."

"Although a small loss will not have much impact on business, this Surabaya County is flooded several times a year, which is indeed a large loss."

"This has given us all a headache, and I would like to ask my husband if there is any way to solve this flood once and for all?"

After hearing what he said, Ran Fang couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Li Si and then at Fusu, this person is not a brain to lie now.

This Surabaya County is in the south, and the Su family and the Li family's business have gone so far?

It doesn't look like it at all.

But his face showed nothing, and he looked pensive.

After a while, he asked: "Have you heard of Dayu's water control?" ”

Li Si was a little disappointed, how could they not have thought about this method, and the county guard of Surabaya County also found someone to measure it on the spot.

However, this method is not realistic for Surabaya County.

Not to mention that Surabaya County is now full of canals, manpower alone is a big problem.

In recent years, Great Qin has used a lot of manpower to build the Great Wall and the imperial mausoleum.

If a large number of people are dispatched to dig the spirit ditch, I am afraid that other things will be delayed.

Besides, Surabaya County is low-lying and there are no big rivers around, if you want to build a canal, where will this water lead?

It's simply not realistic!

But since Ran Fang asked, he still nodded, "I've heard of it." ”

"The ancestors of Dayu controlled the water, passed the door three times without entering, and it took thirteen years to complete the great cause of water control."

"Did Sir ask me to follow the example of the ancients and spend thirteen years repairing canals?"

Hearing this, Fusu shook his head first.

As the prince of Great Qin, he also knows the situation in Surabaya County, and according to the current national strength of Great Qin, I am afraid that he will not be able to allocate so much time and money to control the water.

"It's not right."

"Now that Daqin is in need of manpower, where can so many people be transferred to repair the canal?"

"If you insist on doing this, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the people."

Ran Fang glanced at him, he had been by his side for so long, why was he still in such a hurry?

No growth at all.

He hadn't said anything.

Seeing Fusu in such a hurry, he shook his head and said, "Wrong." ”

Fusu was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's wrong to repair the canal."

Seeing that neither of them understood, Ran Fang continued: "There have been floods in Surabaya County for so many years, presumably the local county keeper has also thought of a way, and these methods have already been used. ”

"Besides, this Surabaya county should also have its own water canal, and the flood has not been completely solved for so many years, or because the local governance is not in place."

"If the original canal can be deepened and the dam can be strengthened, the protection capacity of the canal will definitely be improved."

"I think that after so many years of governance, the flood is still there but it has not caused the court to care, it should not be too serious, it is fatal for the people, but for the county guard, it is an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, so no one really governs."

"The problem itself shouldn't be big, otherwise the county guard would have played it twice or three times, since it can be left until now, it means that it is still within the controllable range, as long as it is slightly corrected."

I have to say that Ran Fang's view is to the point.

After each flood, the imperial court would send food, gold and silver to relieve the disaster, and each time it was also to give money to pacify the victims and repair the canal, but the canal was only repaired but not good.

Among them, how much the county guard embezzled, Li Si probably had a scale in his heart.

It's just that there are floods every year, which is indeed a bit excessive, but the charter handed in by the county guard is indeed reinforced.

"What the gentleman said is extremely true, but the local county guard doesn't dare to be so blatant, right?"

"That's the safety of thousands of people."

"And I also heard that the imperial court sent people to strengthen the canal, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't be so vulnerable."

Ran Fang couldn't help laughing, this kind of face project is really common everywhere.

In order to embezzle the grain and grass, these county guards waited for someone to rebel and provide a supply of grain and grass for the day, and they did everything.

"Putting haystacks on the canal is reinforcing the embankment, do you think you can withstand the monstrous flood?"
