Chapter 317

He squinted his eyes and took another bite, looking at her.

"Who is this young master?"

As he spoke, he tore off a chicken leg from the roast chicken, handed it to her, and casually said:

"Take it and eat it, it tastes good."

She was not polite, took it directly, and ate it in big mouthfuls. Maybe there was too much chicken, and this person generously distributed it to Duan Wuluo, Tong Dajiang and others.

"Don't tell me, this Young Master Sun really knows how to enjoy it. This is a hundred times better than dry food."

Wan Baozhu held a chicken paw, gnawing on it and boasting that it was delicious.

Seeing this scene, Tong Dajiang couldn't help laughing, and said dotingly:
"Eat more if it's delicious."

After eating, they each returned to their carriages, and fell into a deep sleep together with the coachman. Because of Sun Rui'an's hidden guard, everyone fell asleep at ease.

. . . . . .

Days passed, and the two of them quarreled daily. They finally reached the bank of the Tianhu River in the south of the Yangtze River. The river was rolling with yellow sand and threatening, like a yellow dragon, rushing towards it.

Duan Wuluo stroked the non-existent beard, his voice was a bit heavy.

"The water in this river is so fierce, I'm afraid it's really hard to manage."

Everyone stood by the river, like a small black spot, compared to the rushing river, it was so small that it was nothing.

She measured the distance with her eyes. The river was really big and wide. She frowned slightly. Things were not as simple as she thought.

"My lord, how about we go downriver?"

Hearing this, Duan Wuluo was stunned, why did he do this?He looked at her suspiciously.

"Tong girl, I have a map of the entire Tianhu River here, why do I have to go by myself?"

She looked downstream, and some houses in the distance had collapsed, which was obviously dangerous, and she had to look at it before she could draw a conclusion.

"My lord, I need to go downstream to have a look."

Seeing her insistence, Duan Wuluo couldn't stop her anymore.

"Okay, then go and have a look, just be sure to pay attention to safety."

A group of people started to walk downstream. She observed the problems of the river along the way, and finally stopped at one place.

"You see, this is the biggest gap we've seen. The river construction here has been seriously damaged, but why didn't the parents here find someone to repair it?"

Duan Wuluo saw that the nearby village was empty, the houses were crumbling, and there were some dead animals on the ground, which were already stinking, and there were flies circling on them, and his face was very ugly.

"This official who guards the river keeps telling the court every year, and the emperor allocates tens of millions of silver every year. How dare this dog official dereliction of duty like this."

"Tens of millions!!!"

She couldn't help but exclaimed, "Be good, the emperor still attaches great importance to the issue of Tianhuhe."

"I think that [-]% of the money has gone into the pockets of those dog officials. I think this river is old and has been around for several years. It is absolutely impossible that it was newly built this year."

The faces of the group were not good. After all, those vain money was the hard-earned money of the common people, but they were filled by these corrupt officials.

A cold light flashed in Duan Wuluo's eyes, and he looked at her seriously.

"Tong girl, I will deal with those corrupt officials myself, can you think of a way to control this river?"

"Yes, let's settle down first, it's too dangerous here."

After hearing her words, everyone came to an inn farther away from the river, and after entering, they gathered around the room.

"My lord, show me the map of Tianhuhe."

Hearing this, Duan Wuluo quickly took out a one-foot map and spread it out on the table.

She leaned over and looked at it. From the source to the end, the river almost ran through the entire south of Dongming Kingdom, but there was no river in the northern area.

Looking at it further, there are villages living in the places where the Tianhu River passes, and there are no such things as water pipes in ancient times, so they can only get water from the nearest river. If not, why would these people prefer to endure the threat of the river? leave?

Knowing that, she looked at Duan Wuluo and said seriously:
"My lord, I have an idea in my heart, but this idea requires a lot of manpower and material resources. I wonder if you have the determination?"

"Tong girl, tell me, as long as the river can be controlled, then it will be fine."

Seeing that he was not afraid of difficulties and did not flinch in the slightest, she smiled a little.

"Look, this river is almost distributed in the south where there is plenty of rain, but our north has no water, so we can divert water from south to north."

Seeing the woman's radiant face, Sun Ruian exuded an air of confidence all over her body. She felt that she was really unique and was also interested in that word.

"How about the South-to-North Water Diversion?"

His question was also the question of the people in the room.

She glanced at everyone's expressions and knew that this word was too unfamiliar to them.

"My lord, let me ask you, since ancient times, what methods have all the officials and capable people to manage the river water adopted?"

Duan Wuluo frowned slightly, thinking about this question seriously. Before coming, he had checked many documents, so he was very clear.

"Blocking, I remember that the previous generations of Tianhu River governance used to set up barriers upstream to block the river water. At the beginning, the effect was quite good, but when there was a heavy rain, the water in the river would overflow, and the barriers had to be removed, but It has had very little effect.”

She had already seen just now that the people here were all solving problems in a blocking way.

"Yes, we have been blocking and intercepting the river water to prevent the river from flooding. This method will not work when the heavy rain comes."

"Tong girl, tell me quickly, how can you solve the symptoms and the root cause."

Duan Wuluo anxiously urged her to come up with a solution.

"Don't worry, my lord, we must sort out the current disadvantages, so as to better prevent this kind of problem from happening again."

Duan Wuluo smiled helplessly, sighed and said:

"Oh, I was too hasty, so take your time."

She listened, twisted her mouth and smiled, and continued:

"So, I think since we can't block it, then we won't block it. We will directly replace the blockage with dredging, and send people to dig a new river channel in a suitable place to disperse the river water, so the water will not overflow. ?”

"It's really a good way to replace blocking with dredging, dig rivers, and introduce water to other places."

Duan Wuluo murmured, talking to himself, the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, and finally the excitement on his face could no longer be hidden.

But she had to pour cold water on him, this matter is obviously not that simple.

"My lord, don't be too happy. The project of digging the river is huge, and the geographical location needs to be carefully inspected. I'm afraid we need to think about it in the long run."

Sun Ruian stood there with a casual look, his face was indeed full of confidence, and his words were domineering.

"My Dongming country is originally a country of craftsmen, and there are countless skilled craftsmen. As long as the emperor writes a document, I believe that the whole country will fully support it. Then the new river channel will come naturally."
