"It's turning, the waterwheel is turning!" A thousand sergeants cheered in unison.
The flood was indeed very powerful, but none of these soldiers were afraid.
Firstly, it was because his master was always correct and everyone believed in him. Master Mi Liang said that there was no problem, so the dam would definitely be able to withstand it.
Secondly, they built these two embankments with their own hands, and of course they knew how hard the cement would be after it solidified.
Can this kind of dam, which is as solid as a stone, be washed away?
ridiculous.
Xiong Wuliang naturally didn't panic at all.
He has always cherished his life. If he didn't have complete assurance, he would naturally not take risks.
There are copper pillars in the cement as ribs, and thatch is mixed in to strengthen it... This cement embankment is so strong that it can withstand typhoons in future generations. So what if the wave is bigger?
Hu Cong opened his eyes.
I saw the mighty river, rolling incessantly.
But it was safely confined within the confines of the dike.
The rolling Huai River water drove the water wheel in the middle to rotate rapidly. The powerful water impact caused these heavy water wheels to rotate so much that afterimages appeared... causing the water to splash.
Hold the grass?
Am I already dead?
Can this dike really withstand it?
Hu Cong couldn't believe what he was seeing. He jumped on the spot twice and pinched himself again...
It hurts!
After the sergeants on both sides cheered, they all looked at Hu Cong on the embankment.
He gave me a look that looked like a scolding pen.
Just now this guy raised his hands in the air——
Two shouts of 'a worthy death' were so powerful!
Seeing the contemptuous looks in the soldiers' eyes, Hu Cong's face suddenly turned red!
What a shame!
Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly and said jokingly to Hu Cong: "Magistrate Hu, Langda didn't hear clearly just now, what were you shouting?"
Hu Cong coughed dryly and calmed down.
After calming down a little, he said shamelessly: "Well... I was so offended before..."
"I never thought that my lord is so talented! He can build such a strong dam!"
"From now on, there will be fertile soil for dozens of miles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait!"
"We, Ping'a County, will be able to achieve great governance from now on!"
"What I shouted just now was 'a worthy death'."
"Now it seems that it is indeed a worthy death! It's just that... it didn't happen..."
When the sergeants on both sides heard this, they all looked at this good magistrate who cared about the people with admiration.
The joking eyes turned to respect.
What a good official!
Xiong Wuliang was speechless for a moment... Hu Cong's attitude changed quite quickly.
This speed of changing faces is quite impressive to me.
"Magistrate Hu County, you have seen the effect of this dam. Now you have no doubts, right?" Shi Er said with his head held high.
"Natural, natural." Hu Cong nodded repeatedly.
Xiong Wuliang interjected: "In that case, organize the mountain people as soon as possible, plan farms on both sides of the strait, and reclaim wasteland!"
"If we act quickly, maybe we can get some harvest this year."
Hu Cong repeatedly said: "Natural, that's natural."
Now, he truly admires his little master.
A dam has solved the century-old flood problem in Ping'a County.
No wonder he was able to achieve great success at such a young age and sealed four thousand households!
Think again about all the obstacles I had faced before, even the unceremonious verbal attacks...
shame! What a shame!
The Lord is a good man. Not only did he not care about me, he still made me the magistrate of Ping'a County!
Now that there are dozens of miles of fertile farmland in Ping'a County, we must manage it well and show an example!
…
Mi Fei crawled out of the ditch, looking very embarrassed.
I was running in a hurry just now, and the car overturned. The dignified Lord Zhonglijun got out of the car, his head and face covered with dust.
Mi Fei was furious and felt that he had lost face, so he snatched the whip from the groom's hand. He slapped the groom several times on his head and face.
Those who work hard should not come to Ping'a County...Every time I see Xiong Wuliang, nothing good happens.
This guy Xiong Wuliang...he is a disaster star!
Mi Fei stood up straight, dusted himself off, and looked at the solid dam and splashing river water in front of him with shock on his face.
The sergeants around him looked at the embarrassed Zhongli Jun with amusement in their eyes.
Xiong Wuliang stretched out his hand diligently to help Mi Fei up: "Oh, Zhonglijun, why are you so careless!"
"Look, my dam hasn't collapsed yet. Why are you running?"
"Let me lend you auspicious words - this dam of mine is indeed 'stable as a rock and indestructible'!"
Mi Fei's old face turned red.
He deliberately drew out his sword and killed the scoundrel boy in front of him with one strike.
He looked at the soldiers around him who were eyeing him eagerly, but he didn't dare to take action.
It’s so frustrating, so frustrating!
Mi Fei gritted his teeth: "I was shocked just now..."
The guy rolled his eyes again and suddenly stared at the light gray embankment: "Well, Mr. Wu Liang... what is this embankment made of? Is it so strong and durable?"
Although Mi Fei was badly cheated by Xiong Wuliang, he was still a feudal lord after all, and his brains were still sufficient.
This light gray material is so solid that it can withstand the impact of the Huaihe River during the flood season!
Such a good thing is actually in the hands of Xiong Wuliang, that damn little bastard.
This magical thing must be obtained no matter how much it costs!
Xiong Wuliang smiled broadly——
"This thing is called cement."
"It's not difficult to talk about the craftsmanship - why, Mr. Zhongli wants it?"
Mi Fei's eyes lit up!
"I would be very grateful if you could give me some advice!" Mi Fei said he was humble, but he was actually laughing wildly in his heart.
Xiong Wuliang coughed lightly——
"It's not impossible."
"It's just that there is a certain amount of money that needs to be settled in advance by Mr. Zhonglijun..."
"Oh?" An ominous premonition flashed through Mi Fei's heart: "Would you like to hear the details?"
Xiong Wuliang suddenly raised his fingers, his face serious——
"Lord Zhongli Jun, your Zhongli County is also downstream of the Huai River."
"Logically speaking, our Ping'a County has properly managed the flooding in the Huaihe River, and your Zhongli County is also a beneficiary!"
"We have already contributed to repairing the Huaihe River dam this time, so Zhongli County is responsible for disbursing the money. Isn't it reasonable?"
"So, should we be reimbursed for this project cost?"
"Including labor costs, material costs, labor costs, food costs..." Xiong Wuliang shook his head and calculated for a long time, and finally waved his hand: "Forget it, we are all old acquaintances!"
"Even ten thousand gold!"
"Quick! Make money!"
…
At this moment, Mi Fei would be damned if he couldn't hear Xiong Wuliang's teasing!
Listening to Xiong Wuliang mention "ten thousand gold", such naked ridicule...
Mi Fei couldn't hold it back any longer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
Fortunately, Xiong Wuliang dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been sprayed all over.
"Mi Liang! You build a dam upstream, but we in Zhongli County downstream don't even have water to irrigate crops!"
"Do you want to see our people in Zhongli County starve to death?"
"Xiong Wuliang, you are so cruel!"
"Aren't you afraid of retribution!?"
