West Lake is very big. Standing on the shore and looking at the huge pit below, Chu Ze deeply felt his own insignificance.
At the same time, Chu Ze also truly felt to what extent the West Lake had been destroyed.
The great lake that historically nurtured the common people now looks like a dying hero.
The large lake that should have been filled with clear water is now only a huge pit.
There are several small pools of water at the bottom of the pit, and the water inside is black and green in color. After a few waves, you can still smell some unpleasant fishy smell. The huge lake has disappeared. The sand and stones at the bottom of the lake are exposed, and there are countless green grasses. Among these grass piles, there are more than ten cows grazing, and a few sheep can be vaguely seen.
There were also some destroyed household appliances.
For example, there are wooden basins that are so rotten that there are only a few boards left, spinning wheels that have fallen apart, and some wooden shelves that are in a mess and look like nothing.
Beyond that, there were piles and piles of weeds.
Looking further up, you will see the destroyed West Lake embankment.
How can these embankments with a corner missing in the east and a corner collapsed in the west be able to store water?
In the air, there were bursts of human voices coming along with the sound of the wind.
Chu Ze raised his gaze and looked in the direction of the sound.
The first thing that catches the eye is a beautiful green mountain.
At the foot of the green hills, at the same level as the West Lake, there are several walls standing.
"Where is that place?" Chu Ze raised his hand and pointed to that place.
Shen Nan followed Chu Ze's line of sight and looked over——
"Oh, there, that's the other courtyard of those gentlemen whom you met yesterday."
"Have these other courtyards invaded the West Lake?" Chu Ze's goal was extremely clear.
Not a word of nonsense.
Shen Nan took out the speech he had prepared and said: "Sir, although these other courtyards occupy some of the West Lake, they all follow formal procedures and have paperwork. And Mr. Bai and the others also paid corresponding representations, and then they changed Those places, and this is also in line with the laws of our court."
"What about the paperwork?"
"Of course it is in the hands of a few gentlemen."
"Then you inform them immediately and have the documents delivered to us before sunset today. It should be no problem." Chu Ze turned his head and looked at Shen Nan with cold eyes.
The corners of Shen Nan's mouth twitched stiffly.
This is not only problematic, but impossible.
These documents had not been prepared before. It was not until last night that he ordered Lu Tongpan to prepare them.
Documents like this are quite troublesome.
Since the area they occupy has been clearly stated, it must also be clearly stated why they occupied it and what was given in exchange for it.
It can't be done in one night.
Of course there is no paperwork now.
But what he can do has been done, and the rest is not his play.
Shen Nan decisively handed over this trouble.
He handed a message to the officer following behind him, asking him to quickly inform Bai Qingwen and the others of the matter and ask them to bring the "document" over.
After doing this, Chu Ze turned around and headed towards the Xishui Gate.
The West Lake is important, and so is the West Water Gate.
The main responsibility of the West Lake is to irrigate the fields, while the West Water Gate is to ensure water supply within the city and prevent water from outside the city from flowing back into the city.
Now it seems that these functions have lost their effect.
The Xishui Gate has also become a decoration.
Chu Ze took Liu Jing for a look around, then returned to the official post and began to ask Liu Jing about the status of the water conservancy projects in these two places and where to start repairing them.
Although Chu Ze can see some superficial problems, he is not a professional after all.
This kind of professional work requires Liu Jing to do it.
Liu Jing naturally told everything he knew.
If Chu Ze didn't understand something, he would explain it carefully.
When they were having a lively discussion, Zhu Xi opened the door and a head popped out of the door. He winked at Chu Ze and said, "Bai Qingwen and the others are here."
Chu Zexian glanced at the sky outside and felt happy.
"Are they really taking it easy?" Chu Ze said, standing up and instructing Liu Jing, "According to your ideas, make a plan and make the plans and plans by the way. These days, We have time." If these people are not dealt with, Fuzhou's water conservancy construction will be 80% empty talk.
Just take advantage of this time difference and let Liu Jing make the plan.
Sun Zhengde, who came with Zhu Feng, volunteered: "We know a lot about water conservancy, so let's help Mr. Liu."
With one more person, progress goes faster.
Chu Ze immediately nodded in agreement.
Sun Zhengde happily rushed into the room, sat next to Sun Zhengde, and made plans with him.
Chu Ze and Zhu Xi walked outside together.
When they arrived, Zhu Qingwen and others were already sitting in the living room. Kang Cheng was sitting on the left side, looking like a master, talking to Bai Qingwen and others.
The conversation in the living room stopped when I heard footsteps.
"Master Chu, you are here."
The people who were surrounding Kang Cheng just now immediately rushed towards Chu Ze.
Bai Qingwen was the most enthusiastic.
It was as if the previous contradictions did not exist.
"Master Chu, please sit down quickly. We heard that Master Chu traveled all day for the people of Fuzhou today. It was really hard." Bai Qingwen helped Chu Ze aside and sat down. , and then went to greet Zhu Ping.
This means neither side can be blamed.
Chu Ze sat down with a calm expression and propped his chin up to watch the show.
Zhu Xi: "..."
"Are everyone here?" Chu Ze said, his eyes scanning the face in front of him.
Half of them he had just seen last night.
Bai Qingwen stepped forward with a smile: "See what Mr. Chu said. Mr. Chu has something to do, how can we dare to neglect it?"
"So, did you bring everything we asked you to take?" Chu Ze said, and the faces of the group of people in front of him all froze.
No matter how bright his smile was just now, he now showed a troubled expression.
Seeing their expressions, Chu Zhi's expressions, which had been leisurely just now, also sank.
"Didn't you bring it?"
It was obviously a very relaxed tone, but it made people feel a sense of coldness.
Bai Qingwen's heart skipped a beat.
"It's not that we didn't bring it with us on purpose. It's just that the time is too tight. We don't know where they put those documents. We can't find them at the moment. Otherwise, Mr. Chu, please give us a few more days. , we will send it to you as soon as we find it, what do you think?" Bai Qingwen showed embarrassment on his face, and glanced at Chu Ze every time he said a word.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ze's expression turned cold.
But he was not angry. Instead, he asked: "How many days will it take?"
"Three days." Bai Qingwen raised three fingers.
Chu Ze couldn't refuse and said: "Two days, on the morning of the third day, we want to see the documents."
"this……"
"If it doesn't work, I'll take someone to your house right now to help you find it. The people around us have no other skills except finding things. Even if you hide them underground, they can dig them out for you. "Chu Ze looked at Bai Qingwen with a faint look.
Bai Qingwen: "..."
