After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

After listening to the guard's words, Gu Huaijing's face became more and more ugly, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

I just hate the injustice of heaven.

"grown ups?"

The guard saw Gu Huaijing looking at the river and called softly.

After Gu Huaijing came to his senses, the guard bowed and continued: "Sir, we have also thought of ways to make the water here come alive, but it is too far away from the big rivers, and the water slowly flows away. But come."

"Then there are still underground rivers, right?"

"Yes, but there is not much water. We can only divert it to the stagnant water first and use it together."

The guard's mouth was dry after talking for so long.

Normally they would not talk so much in order to preserve their strength, but now that they see people coming from the court, they are eager to let the people above know how hard they have worked here.

Seeing that the guard began to shake, Gu Huaijing quickly supported him, "Are you okay?"

The guard was supported by Gu Huaijing and backed away, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, this subordinate is too weak."

The guard's cautious look made Gu Huaijing's eyes heat up, "It's okay, let's go and have something to eat first."

Having figured it all out, now I have to go back.

The guard wanted to say something else, but Gu Huaijing didn't give him a chance to refuse, and the group hurried back to the government office.

At this time, the county master had already taken the yamen servants to distribute the supplies.

It's lunch time. When the county magistrate saw Gu Huaijing and others coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Gu, how are you doing?"

"It's okay. I've already checked the water source. Let's eat first."

Gu Huaijing urged the group to eat first. During this period, the county magistrate also told what he knew.

In fact, he came here to take up a job five years ago. I heard that before he came here, there had been severe droughts in the west for years, but at that time, we could still expect some rain every year.

People will try their best to save water at this time, thinking that they can save all the water for the next year.

But how can there be so much rain? The people tried their best, but they couldn't save so much water.

Many people have died in the disasters in recent years.

The more the county magistrate spoke, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he even began to cry silently.

Gu Huaijing remained silent from beginning to end. It wasn't until the county magistrate stopped talking that he put down his chopsticks and said, "Master Wang, for the remaining few days, you will be responsible for taking care of the people here and waiting for the rest." Supplies, I will take my people to find water.”

"Master Gu, actually..."

Lord Wang looked at Gu Huaijing hesitantly.

Gu Huaijing gave him a reassuring look, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, this time it's not just about finding the water source, I will try my best to bring the water here."

His sworn expression left Master Wang with no further hesitation. He stood up and saluted Gu Huaijing, "Thank you very much, Master Gu."

"I said I came here to solve the problem."

Gu Huaijing's expression was serious, and Mr. Wang also nodded.

Then the two began to discuss the water source together.

An hour later, Gu Huaijing set off with his guards.

Mr. Wang watched them go to the upper reaches of the river. When Gu Huaijing was no longer visible, he sighed and said, "I just hope Mr. Gu can come back soon."

"Sir, it's time for us to go to the porridge shop."

"it is good."

After Mr. Wang finished talking to the yamen servant, he went directly to the porridge shop.

At that time, Gu Huaijing and others had also rode to Nanhu, the upper reaches of the river.

Nanhu is almost half a day's journey from the west. It was already dark when they arrived. Nanhu is full of people and has vast water resources. Compared with the west, it is like the sky and the earth. Gu Huaijing felt really distressed when he saw so much water.

If this water could be brought to the west early, would it be able to solve the problems on both sides?

Thinking about this, Gu Huaijing frowned, then dismounted and set up camp on the spot.

The guard had not seen so much water for a long time and couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir, do you think that if this water could be used by the people in the west, wouldn't so many people die?"

He grew up in the west and has great affection for these people.

During the droughts of the past few years, he almost watched people die due to lack of water, and that feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Gu Huaijing handed the guard a piece of dry food, "Eat it, don't think too much about it."

"Sir, you will really help us, right?"

The guard pulled Gu Huaijing's arm excitedly.

He looked down at the guard's hand holding his arm, and then his eyes shifted to his face.

"Yes, it will definitely be solved."

This was Gu Huaijing's promise to him and what he asked of himself.

After adjusting, Gu Huaijing entered Nanhu overnight.

In the middle of the night, Gu Huaijing found the county magistrate of Nanhu.

This man was studying how to release the water. He didn't want anyone to break into the yamen at night. He was completely shocked. "You, who are you? Do you know where this is?"

"Gu Huaijing."

"Gu, Gu Huaijing?" The county magistrate's jaw dropped to the ground in surprise.

"You, are you Mr. Gu, the canal admiral from the capital?"

"Exactly."

Gu Huaijing responded, and the Grand Master of Nanhu County instantly knelt on the ground, "I have seen Mr. Gu, but I am rude. I hope Mr. Gu will forgive me."

"It's okay. I came to see you today because of the water problem in Nanhu."

"Sir, the imperial court has seen our difficulties, right? But has the imperial court found a way to solve our problem?"

The county magistrate's eyes instantly lit up and he looked at Gu Huaijing expectantly.

But he did not answer. Instead, he remained silent for a while before saying, "Do you know about the severe drought in the west?"

"I know, I know, we always talk about this issue with the West. It would be great if our water could reach them." The county magistrate looked at Gu Huaijing helplessly.

"I'm here today to solve this problem."

Gu Huaijing's words were always simple and easy to understand. He knew how to make the county magistrate understand.

"Sir, are you really here to do this?"

"Yes, the two of you have rivers that can be connected, but there is no link yet. As long as the two rivers are connected, the water you have can go to the west, which will solve the problem of lack of water and rain in the west."

Gu Huai Jingrao looked at the county magistrate seriously.

The county magistrate was made to nod by Gu Huaijing's serious expression, "Yes, my lord, whatever you say, I will do whatever you want. As long as it can save the people on both sides, I can do anything. "

As a parent official, he did not want people to die due to such natural disasters.

"Okay, then let me ask you a question. Do you know that the imperial court sends a lot of supplies to the west every year?"

"I know, but..."

The Grand Master of Nanhu County hesitated and stopped talking.

Gu Huaijing realized that the other party might know something, and continued: "Whether you tell it or not, I will find out. If you are involved, you will not report it."
