The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1027
Duan Zhijie had also seen those beggars squatting in the corner in the capital. They were dressed in rags, held a broken bowl, and bowed their knees to passers-by, just for a few copper coins.

However, he feels that except for the elderly and the disabled, the rest of the young people are not worthy of sympathy.

These lazy young beggars are usually waiting for the pie to fall from the sky.

But these victims are different. There are so many people, even if they want to work, they have nowhere to do it, because their fields are flooded by the river.

"Master Gu, just give orders, the subordinates dare not refuse!"

Duan Zhijie's impassioned attitude made Gu Chengyu take a special look at him. Unexpectedly, this paragraph of Zhijie is quite sympathetic, which is rare in officialdom.

Duan Zhijie seems to have passed his thirties, he has been an official for more than ten years, and his ancestors are from the capital.

It can be regarded as a family of officials and eunuchs, but there has never been a high-ranking official in the family.

Being able to climb up to the fifth rank at the age of [-] is not only due to his own efforts, but also the personal connections accumulated by the family over the years.

Gu Chengyu thought that officials who had been immersed in the officialdom for more than ten years should have become veterans, but they did not expect that the other party still retained the most basic conscience.

From when Duan Zhijie came to the gate of the city with a stick before, he could see the character of the other party.At such a critical juncture, the other party can be regarded as neglecting deep thinking.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Chengyu's complexion softened a lot compared to before.

"I really need help from Duan Langzhong. As an official of the Ministry of Industry, Duan Langzhong must know a lot about the reinforcement of the river embankment and the diversion of the river water. I also ask Duan Langzhong to be more concerned about the water leakage of the river embankment in Hangtianfu."

Gu Chengyu originally wanted to tell Hu Maoshen about this matter, and then Hu Maoshen would implement and supervise it, but now he changed his mind.

Hu Maoshen is not an official of the Ministry of Industry, so he doesn't know much about these things.He can't stay in Hang Tianfu to guide him all the time, he has other things to do.

Therefore, he was somewhat relieved to leave this matter to Duan Zhijie, who had a decent temperament.After all, the interception of branches and the diversion of the river involved a lot of money.

If someone took the opportunity to touch the silver he had so hard to raise, he would really vomit to death.

"It's definitely not enough to know more about it. It's just a little bit of superficial understanding. But Mr. Gu means that he wants to divert the river downstream of Hangtian Mansion? Just in this way, the project will be extremely huge. There are too many branches in the upper reaches of Hangtian Mansion. If It is undoubtedly more difficult to change the course downstream. If one is not good, the downstream may collapse! And the life of the river worker is also in danger!"

As soon as Duan Zhijie said these words, Yang Chaoying's sympathy was immediately aroused.

Because Yang Chaoying is familiar with the terrain here, of course he knows what Duan Zhijie said is true.

He couldn't help slandering in his heart, as expected of an official from the Ministry of Industry, he was really good at these things.

Although Mr. Gu is very strategic, he can't learn things about river engineering without a teacher, can he?
Coupled with the fact that Mr. Gu is not familiar with the local terrain, he would think this way, probably because he has consulted a lot of books.

But it’s not enough to just talk about it on paper. In practice, it’s quite difficult, and all kinds of emergencies during the period have to be taken into account.

For example, if the diversion is not deep enough, and the river water does not follow the established route, won't it be a disaster?

"What's more, the diversion requires a detailed survey of the terrain, and some places are not suitable for diversion."

Speaking of this, Duan Zhijie became eloquent and eloquent, exuding confidence all over his body.

Gu Chengyu smiled lightly, he was very satisfied with Duan Zhijie being so professional.

Without explaining, Gu Chengyu directly took out a piece of kraft paper from his pocket and handed it to Duan Zhijie who was waiting for his reply.

Duan Zhijie looked a little puzzled, so what, give a greeting gift when they meet for the first time?Isn't that too polite?

He took the kraft paper over and opened it to take a look, but his expression immediately changed drastically in a flash.

Hu Maoshen saw that Duan Zhijie's complexion was different, and his eyes flickered involuntarily, as if he had already guessed what it was.

But is this possible?Gu Chengyu has never been to Hangtian Mansion at all, even if he has seen detailed maps in the capital, it is impossible to mark the exact scores on those maps.

There is no on-site inspection of this diversion. If the wrong map is drawn, it will be a small mistake and a thousand miles away.

Duan Zhijie looked at every inch of the map carefully, and kept thinking about the topography he checked at the river embankment a few days ago in his mind, and found that this map was exactly the same as that topography.

"This map is so accurate that it even marked the diversion below. If it is correct, this matter is not impossible." Duan Zhijie was very excited at this time, and praised the map repeatedly.

Gu Chengyu smiled, this is the map he drew based on the terrain surveyed by Ding Shiliu and the others.He has marked the diversion route in detail on it, as long as the on-site inspection is made to ensure that it is correct, the construction can start.

"Oh? Let me see it too!" After hearing this, Hu Maoshen took another deep look at Gu Chengyu, and his heart suddenly understood.

Before this son came to Hangtian Mansion, he might have made complete preparations long ago.No!Not before coming to Hangtian Mansion, maybe even earlier.

Yang Chaoying watched helplessly from the side, but Hu Maoshen ignored him, holding the kraft paper and looked at it by himself.

In fact, Yang Chaoying is the one who is most anxious about this matter. He doesn't know that he will stay in the prefect position of Hangtian Mansion for a few years, so if he can solve the problem of the river embankment in Hangtian Mansion this time, wouldn't he be in the future? Can you sit back and relax?
"This map is indeed drawn in detail. I'm afraid Gu Shaoqing has been thinking about the diversion for a long time, right? But what Duan Langzhong said just now is very reasonable. I wonder if Gu Shaoqing has a solution?"

Gu Chengyu smiled, "It's very simple, there is no need to think about it at all. Cut off a few branches that converge upstream to ensure that the impact of the river on the dam is not as strong as before, and the diversion will be much less difficult."

This made Yang Chaoying and the others frowned at the same time, not because they thought Gu Chengyu was too arrogant, but because it was also difficult to intercept branches.

Gu Chengyu knew that they still had questions, but he didn't want to explain at all now, because they might not be able to understand no matter how much he explained.

When the time comes to the edge of the river embankment, and he points out the solution, they will all suddenly understand.

Hu Maoshen handed the map to the impatient Yang Chaoying. After Yang Chaoying read it, he was amazed.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu came prepared, this person is really amazing!He understands the topography of the river, and this plan can definitely be implemented.

It's just that the matter of diverting the road is now on the horizon, but what about Yin Zi?How much manpower and financial resources are needed for such a large project?
