Xianyang Prison.
Looking at the luxurious decoration in the cell, Xu Yuwen thought he was in the wrong place.
After repeated confirmations, the originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense.
When I thought about the things I was carrying in my basket, I realized that they were nothing compared to the things in this prison.
The people in this prison are extraordinary!
Standing at the door of the cell, he coughed awkwardly.
Thinking that some people had said before that he could ask Ran Fang to do things in prison but could not reveal his identity, he immediately pretended not to know Fusu.
"Hello, is that Mr. Ran Fang?"
The two people who were playing a chess game simultaneously turned back to look at Xu Yuwen who was standing at the door.
Fusu recognized him at a glance. He thought this person was Xu Yuwen, the current Taicang magistrate, but he didn't know what he was doing.
But he still gestured with his eyes and said: "The person opposite me is sir, what do you want?"
Hearing this, Xu Yuwen immediately walked into the cell door and placed the basket he was carrying in front of Ran Fang.
Lifting the covering, there was a plate of exquisite mutton and four neat hooves.
Ran Fang immediately understood that he was here to ask for help.
However, he was also a little confused. Is it popular to give food away now?
It seems that his reputation as a glutton has spread.
He glanced at the mutton and said nothing.
Xu Yuwen, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ran Fang didn't show any disdain.
"Please forgive me, sir. My family is not rich. I don't know what my husband needs, so I only took these to eat. I hope you don't mind."
Seeing that Ran Fang still didn't speak, Xu Yuwen became nervous again, his heart in his throat.
He continued: "My name is Xu Wen. I have found a job in Xianyang City. I will follow my master's family to Sishui County soon. I am really worried."
"I just wanted to ask sir, is there any danger in going to Surabaya County?"
After saying this, Fusu knew that his father was planning to let him go to Sishui County to provide disaster relief.
But Ran Fang's words yesterday are still fresh in my mind. The corruption in Sishui County is also very deep. Isn't my father prepared to investigate?
Or are you going to let Xu Yuwen investigate?
Looking at this man, he doesn't look like he can accomplish anything big.
Ran Fang, on the other hand, laughed when he heard what he said.
"How did this spread outside? I turned out to be a magic stick?"
"No, no, no," Xu Yuwen was still wondering why Ran Fang was laughing. When he heard him teasing him, he quickly waved his hand and explained, "There are rumors that Mr. Ran Fang is resourceful and well-informed."
"It's me. I'm worried about going to Surabaya County, so I came here to ask sir."
Seeing how cautious he was, and looking at the meat given to him, Ran Fang didn't show any displeasure.
After all, this person doesn't look like a rich man, so he must be sincere to give him such precious meat.
In this way, he wouldn't have to embarrass him too much.
"What are you afraid of?"
Xu Yuwen smiled sheepishly, scratched his head and looked at Fusu. Seeing that Fusu was not angry, he said, "I am going here because the imperial court has issued an order to supervise the construction of water conservancy projects."
"The weir is hundreds of miles long. It would be fine if the river canal is cleared, but we still need to build the dam, which will take at least three to five years, right?"
"And this earth embankment is not strong. If it rains again while it is being repaired, it will be a long time coming. When can I return home?"
"And...this time I went to Surabaya County. I heard that the second young master Hu Hai was going to supervise it personally. I'm afraid something might happen along the way."
Hu Hai is going to Surabaya County! ?
Fusu was surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He was just thinking about Xu Yuwen's trouble.
Floods in Sishui County do occur every year. If there is a problem when repairing, it will be a bigger problem than if it is not repaired.
"Sir, this man has a point."
"The earth embankment has been under construction for many years, but it has never been repaired. What should we do?"
"It took more than twenty years to build the Jianyan weir. There is not so much time to waste this time."
Ran Fang looked at their nervous expressions and thought for a moment that this Yanyan should be the later Dujiangyan.
It was built by Li Bing, the governor of Shu County at that time. It indeed prevented a lot of floods in Shu and even benefited future generations.
However, the current technology is not good enough and the local county guards do not manage it, so floods continue to occur. If this situation can be changed, then repairing the canals will naturally be much simpler.
"Don't worry, since Hu Hai is standing in front of us this time, there will be no problems."
"Why?"
Xu Yuwen was full of doubts. What he was most worried about was Hu Hai causing trouble. Why was it not a problem here in Ran Fang?
Seeing Xu Yuwen's nervous look, Ran Fang laughed and shook his head.
"Your Excellency is a little unfounded."
"If the flooding in Sishui County is not controlled, there will definitely be greater chaos in the future, and it may even be related to the life and death of Great Qin."
This is not nonsense. After Ying Zheng died, the first people to raise the anti-Qin banner were Chen Sheng and Wu Guang from Daze Township, Surabaya County, and Liu Bang, who finally destroyed Da Qin, was also the person who served as the pavilion chief of Surabaya.
"Your Majesty has some considerations in letting Mr. Hu Hai go this time."
"After all, Zhao Gao is standing behind Hu Hai!"
"Standing Zhao Gao?"
Xu Yuwen looked at Ran Fang in surprise, and for a while he couldn't figure out what the necessary connection was.
At this time, Fusu on the side seemed to have thought of something.
"Sir, you mean that with Zhao Gao here, the people below won't dare to mess around?"
"After all, if what can be done this time can be accomplished, it will be a great achievement for Mr. Hu Hai."
"As an assistant, Zhao Gao is naturally no exception."
After hearing these words, Xu Yuwen suddenly realized!
He looked at Ran Fang with burning eyes and asked, "Sir, is this correct?"
Ran Fang glanced at Fusu in surprise, this kid finally got the idea!
I can’t say that this reaction was not quick, but it was definitely not slow either.
Seeing Ran Fang nodded, Xu Yuwen asked expectantly: "But... what about this time?"
Speaking of time, Ran Fang also showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
He paused and said: "This... I can't guarantee it."
"If there is cement, the construction period will be greatly shortened. This thing will fossilize when exposed to water and will not be easily destroyed."
"Water fossil!?"
Xu Yuwen and Fusu looked surprised at the same time. Is there such a good thing in this world?
Xu Yuwen looked unbelieving. He had never heard of such a thing.
But Fusu had been following Ran Fang for a long time and was always 100% interested in the novel things Ran Fang said.
"Sir, what is this?"
"What can fossilize when exposed to water? You're not making fun of us, are you?"
