Chapter 866: The River is Diversion
Duan Zhijie had also seen those beggars squatting in the corners of the walls in the capital, they were dressed in tatters, holding a broken bowl, and bowed to passers-by, just to get a few copper plates.
However, he felt that these people, except for the elderly and the disabled, the rest of the young people did not deserve sympathy.
These lazy young beggars wait for pies to fall from the sky on weekdays.
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 orders, don't dare to disobey!"
Duan Zhijie's impassioned attitude made Gu Chengyu look at him twice, but he didn't expect this Zhijie to be quite sympathetic, which is rare in officialdom.
Duan Zhijie seems to have passed the age of his establishment, he has been an official for more than ten years, and his ancestors are people from the capital.
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as an official family, but there has never been a high-ranking official in the clan.
was able to climb to the top five products in the first year, not only by his own efforts, but also by using the connections accumulated by the family over the years.
Gu Chengyu thought that the officials who had been immersed in officialdom for more than ten years should have become old oilers, but he didn't expect that the other party still retained the most basic conscience.
From the time Duan Zhijie came to the city gate 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 putting deep thought out of the way.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Chengyu's complexion was much more relaxed than before.
"This official really needs the assistance of 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. The matter of the river embankment leakage in Hangtianfu also asked Duan Langzhong to worry more. ”
Gu Chengyu originally wanted to tell Hu Maoshen about this, 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 and does not know much about this. He can't stay in Hang Tianfu all the time to guide, he has other things to do.
So he was still a little relieved to hand over this matter to Duan Zhijie, who had a decent temperament. After all, there is not a lot of money involved in the interception of branches and the diversion of the river.
If someone took the opportunity to touch the silver taels he had so managed to raise, he would really vomit to death.
"It's definitely not enough to know more, but I only know a little about the skin. But what does Master Gu mean is that he wants to divert the river downstream of Hangtianfu? It's just that in this way, the project is extremely huge, and there are too many branches in the upstream of Hangtianfu, and if it is diverted downstream, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult. If one is not good, maybe the downstream will collapse! And the lives of the river workers are also in danger! ”
As soon as Duan Zhijie's words came out, they immediately resonated with Yang Chaoying.
Because Yang Chaoying was familiar with the terrain here, of course he knew that what Duan Zhijie said was true.
He couldn't help but slander in his heart, he was worthy of being an official of the Ministry of Industry, and he was really good at this.
Although Master Gu is very strategic, this river work can't be self-taught, right?
In addition, Master Gu is not familiar with the local terrain, so he thinks like this, and it is estimated that he has come to the conclusion after consulting a lot of books.
But it is not enough to just talk about it on paper, but in practice, it is not easy to do it, and it is necessary to take into account all kinds of emergencies during the period.
For example, if the diversion is not deep enough, and the river does not follow the established route, wouldn't that be a disaster?
"What's more, you have to survey the terrain in detail about the diversion, and some places are not suitable for diversion."
Speaking of this, Duan Zhijie became eloquent, exuding confidence all over his body.
Gu Chengyu smiled lightly, he was very satisfied with Duan Zhijie being so professional.
Without opening his mouth to explain, Gu Chengyu directly took out a piece of brown paper from his arms and handed it to Duan Zhijie, who was waiting for him to reply.
Duan Zhijie's expression was a little puzzled, what is it, give a meeting gift when they meet for the first time? That's too polite, isn't it?
He took the vellum paper and opened it to look at it, but in a moment, his expression changed dramatically.
Hu Maoshen saw that Duan Zhijie's face was different, and his eyes couldn't help flashing, as if he had guessed what this was.
But is it possible? Gu Chengyu had never been to Hangtianfu at all, even if he had seen the detailed maps in the capital, it was impossible to mark the scores on those maps.
If the wrong map is drawn, it will be a mistake and a thousand miles wrong.
Duan Zhijie carefully looked at every inch of the map, and kept recalling the terrain he had checked at the river embankment a few days ago, and found that this map was exactly the same as that terrain.
"This map is so accurate that even the diversion below has been marked. If correct, this is not impossible. Duan Zhijie was very excited, holding the map and praising it again and again.
Gu Chengyu smiled, this is a map he drew based on the terrain that Ding Sixteen and they surveyed. He has marked the route of the diversion in detail, and as long as the on-site inspection is made to ensure that it is correct, the construction can begin.
"Oh? Let the official also see it! Hearing this, Hu Maoshen looked at Gu Chengyu deeply, and his heart suddenly understood.
Before this son came to Hang Tianfu, I am afraid that he had already made complete preparations. No! Not before coming to Hang Tianfu, maybe earlier.
Yang Chaoying watched from the side, Hu Maoshen ignored him, and looked at it by himself with the kraft paper.
In fact, Yang Chaoying is the most anxious about this matter, he doesn't know that he will have to stay in the position of the prefect of Hangtianfu for a few years, so if he can solve the problem of the river embankment of Hangtianfu this time, won't he be able to sit back and relax in the future?
"This map is indeed drawn in detail, and when it comes to the diversion, Gu Shaoqing is afraid that he has been thinking about it for a long time, right? However, what Duan Langzhong said just now is also very reasonable, I don't know if Gu Shaoqing has a solution? ”
Gu Chengyu smiled, "It's very simple, you don't need to think about it at all." Cutting off a few branches that converge on the upper reaches to ensure that the impact of the river on the levee is not as strong as before, and the diversion is much less difficult. ”
When Yang Chaoying said this, they all frowned in unison, not because they felt that Gu Chengyu was too arrogant, but because it was also difficult to intercept the branch.
Gu Chengyu knew that they still had questions, but he didn't want to explain them at all now, because no matter how much they explained, they might not be able to understand.
When the time comes to go to the edge of the embankment, he points out the solution, and they will definitely be able to suddenly understand.
Hu Maoshen handed the map to Yang Chaoying, who was impatient on the side, and after Yang Chaoying saw it, he was also amazed.
I didn't expect this Gu Da to come prepared, this person is really amazing! He knew the topography of the river, and this plan could definitely be implemented.
It's just that now the diversion is an eyebrow, but what about the silver? How much manpower and financial resources are needed for such a large project?
