"Master Wu, this is my senior brother, He Fengyu." Fang Hubin quickly introduced Wu Zhen and Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen and Master looked at each other and saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.

They didn't find it strange that He Fengyu was senior brother Fang Hubin.

What determines seniority is the time of entry, not their actual age.

Although He Fengyu looks only twelve or thirteen years old, Fang Hubin is almost enough to be his father.

As Fang Hubin's senior brother, it's not a big problem.

Not to mention that He Fengyu is twelve or thirteen years old, he is just a baby of one or two years old. As long as the backup is high enough, Fang Hubin's senior brother will have no problem at all.

However, what they are doing now is looking for water sources.

Even at this time, there is probably little hope of finding a source of water.

But it is also related to the life and death of many people in Datong.

What can such a little baby, whose fur has not even grown yet, do?

Even if he is really talented, his age is there after all.

The world is so big, of course there is no magical power.

Gan Luo paid homage to the prime minister at the age of twelve. How many people have he known throughout the ages?

But the question is, how many people can really understand what kind of game is involved?

Apart from anything else, everyone knows that Gan Luo became a minister at the age of twelve, but how many people know what Gan Luo's final outcome will be?

Therefore, there are several precedents for this in history.

Wu Zhen was still worried about someone who was too young like He Fengyu.

He's only thirteen years old. He's just a child. How credible can his words be?

Although he was slandering in his heart, Wu Zhen really didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction at this time.

After all, not long ago, he had just walked away from the gate of hell.

Although the matter of finding water is urgent, it is also very important.

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem that important.

Datong has become like this now, unless Zhu Han's two students can call the wind and rain like Zhuge Kongming.

Only then is it possible to solve Datong’s current predicament.

But this is obviously impossible. Even if these two people are really capable and can find some water sources, it may not be helpful to Datong now.

So, Wu Zhen suddenly figured it out.

What's there to worry about? Anyway, no matter what you do, it won't help. Instead of worrying about this and that, it's better to just not worry about anything.

Anyway, His Royal Highness's refugee camp is so impressive that there is no need to worry about the people not being able to survive.

Now whether they can achieve results here will not have much impact on him.

As long as he can pass this level, Wu Zhen believes that His Highness the King of England will not embarrass him too much.

Maybe his political future will be affected to some extent, but for Wu Zhen, this is actually a good thing.

Because, if Zhu Han hadn't personally taken over the disaster in Datong.

With his previous disaster relief efforts, if Lao Zhu hadn't killed him, it would have been because he ate something he shouldn't have eaten when he got up in the morning and his head was burned.

How wonderful it is now that the good King Zhu Han of England has taken the initiative to assume all responsibilities.

Whether he could find water or not, he was not at fault.

After all, in this case, it is normal not to be able to find water.

But if the blind cat kills the mouse and finds a water source that can be used...

Then Wu Zhen is probably going to take off.

After figuring out the key, Wu Zhen was completely relieved.

Although he was the magistrate of Datong Prefecture, Wu Zhen did not put on any airs in front of Fang Hubin and He Fengyu.

The extremely kind Fang Hubin said to He Fengyu, "It was my Meng Lang just now."

"I know nothing about finding water sources."

"Since these two are students of His Royal Highness, they must have extraordinary abilities."

"His Royal Highness has only one purpose for sending me here this time, and that is to assist the two gentlemen to find water sources as soon as possible and help our Datong Mansion completely get rid of the trouble of floods."

"Don't worry, you two. I understand His Royal Highness's good intentions."

"As long as it is related to finding water sources, I will obey the arrangements of the two of you."

"And I can guarantee that everyone in our Datong Mansion will obey your command unconditionally."

"Pave all the tricks for the two of you to find the water source as soon as possible."

Wu Zhen's words were so impassioned that Fang Hubin's breathing became rapid with excitement.

There is a feeling that Magistrate Wu Zhen is the best official in the world besides His Royal Highness.

"Prefect, please rest assured, my senior brother and I will never let down the high expectations of the prefect." Fang Hubin looked solemn, as if a soldier would die for his confidant.

But Fang Hubin didn't see it, and He Fengyu next to him just rolled his eyes.

Wu Zhen laughed loudly after hearing this, stood up and bowed solemnly to He Fengyu and Fang Hubin: "In this case, I will leave the future of the people of Datong Prefecture to these two gentlemen."

"I believe that these two gentlemen will not disappoint us Datong people."

"Save us Datong from disaster."

Fang Hubin just said half a sentence: "Please let me go..."

Before he finished speaking, He Fengyu suddenly pulled his sleeve quietly.

Although Fang Hubin didn't understand why his little senior brother would pull him at this time.

However, Fang Hubin understood that his junior brother was far better than him in many aspects.

Although He Fengyu is young, he is already far ahead of his peers in many aspects.

I saw He Fengyu bowing slightly to Wu Zhen without any hurry or delay.

"Thank you for taking care of me, sir!"

"Searching for water sources is related to the lives and deaths of millions of people. We are two brothers, so naturally we dare not neglect it in the slightest."

"What's more, when we came, the prince had already ordered us to do our best to help you."

"Only if we find water sources as much as possible can we reduce the prince's pressure to the greatest extent."

Wu Zhen sneered at these words in his heart, but naturally he would not show it on the surface.

Instead of refuting, he actually agreed: "Mr. He Xiao is right, our actions here are related to the life and death of thousands of people."

Wu Zhen and He Fengyu spent some time chatting over a cup of tea before leaving.

When sending Wu Zhen off, Fang Hubin said: "Prefect Wu is such a good person. The dignified prefect doesn't even have the airs of a prefect."

"Senior brother, you don't know that in the past, those government officials in our village wanted to lift their nostrils to the sky."

"Those little people who are bigger than sesame seeds and mung beans look much crazier than Mr. Fu Zun."

"Just now I thought that Mr. Fu Zun was not easy to talk to. Now it seems that I misunderstood Mr. Fu Zun."

Hearing Fang Hubin's words, He Fengyu curled his lips disdainfully: "Junior brother Fang, if you really think so, you are absolutely wrong."

? ? ?

Fang Hubin was confused and didn't understand why his junior brother would say this.

Seeing his appearance, He Fengyu said angrily: "You are such an old man, how come you can't even see through this little thing?"

"Do you think that Wu Zhen, the prefect, is so kind to us because of us, or because of our abilities?"

Fang Hubin blinked in confusion: "Isn't it?"

"Don't Magistrate Wu still need us to help him find water sources?"

Regarding this question, He Fengyu just smiled disdainfully and did not continue to explain.

Some things are really too troublesome to explain to someone like Fang Hubin.

When answering one of his questions, how many more questions could the two guys ask?

So it’s better to say nothing at all.

He Fengyu just said lightly: "Junior Brother Fang, one of the most important reasons why Prefect Wu is so kind to us is because we are now the prince's students."

"If you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, no matter what Magistrate Wu thinks in his heart, at least on the surface, he will never behave rudely to us."

"Because if he does that, he won't hit us two little people in the face, but the face of His Royal Highness."

"So, is that really the case? Fang Hubin nodded with a confused look on his face.

He Fengyu could tell by looking at his appearance that he hadn't fully understood it yet.

Although it was a bit dumbfounding, it was not too surprising.

Because Fang Hubin heard that he was this kind of person.

All the energy is spent on research, and there is no time to pay attention to anything else.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Fang Hubin was able to come up with something that surprised even the prince.

"Anyway, please remember that no matter what Governor Wu does to us, he has an ulterior motive."

"Don't think of Magistrate Wu as some kind of good person."

Fang Hubin said unconvinced: "Would this make people think too bad? I really think Magistrate Wu is a good person."

He Fengyu raised his eyebrows: "I'm just stating my opinion. As for whether you believe it or not, that's up to you."

"I'm going to look at the map and study the water patterns now. If there's nothing particularly important, or we set out to find water sources, don't teach me."

Fang Hubin noticed that his junior brother seemed a little angry.

So he quickly said: "Junior brother He, what did you say? I don't believe anyone but I have to believe you."

"Don't worry, although I think Magistrate Wu is a good person, I won't believe anything she says."

He Fengyu was speechless: "This is your own business and has nothing to do with me."

"I'm leaving. Remember, if there's nothing important, don't contact me casually."

After that, the wind and rain flew away, leaving Fang Hubin alone here, messy in the wind.

With the cooperation of Wu Zhen, the prefect, the team searching for water sources was completely formed in less than three days.

In fact, except for the core members.

Wu Zhen, the magistrate of Datong, Master, Fang Hubin and He Fengyu.

The remaining people were all recruited by Wu Zhen, the prefect of Datong Prefecture.

During this process, Wu Zhen felt more and more that the team searching for water sources was specially set up by Wu Zhen to take him away.

The biggest evidence is that in addition to some allocations from the British King Zhu Han...

He didn't even ask a single question about the various situations of their team.

As long as Zhu Han really paid attention to them, he couldn't just ignore them all the time.

Even on the day of departure, Zhu Han did not change the way to send them off.

He just sent Liu Shenhong to see them off.

After seeing Liu Shenhong, Wu Zhen became more and more sure of his thoughts.

The first destination of their trip.

They are two villages next to Yuhe.

One is called Liujiacun and the other is called Zhoujiacun.

As a rare village close to Yuhe.

The lives of the people around here are naturally much better than those affected by the disaster in other places.

But that's all.

Successive droughts have lowered the water level of the Yuhe River by several meters.

But even so, the people in their two villages are still having a hard time.

On this day, Zhou Dashu of Zhoujia Village was eating big fish and meat in his own home when no one else had enough to eat.

It's said to be big fish and big meat, but in fact it's just a piece of small fish and a little bit of pork.

The remaining food was a bowl of steaming white rice.

It is such a delicious meal, but they usually only eat it a few times a year.

Facing Zhou Dashu who was devouring his food, his wife Yang didn't look very happy.

Not only did he not look happy, but he turned his head to wipe his tears from time to time.

Zhou Dashu's mouth was full of oil as he ate, and the big fat liar kept stuffing it into his mouth.

In the end, it was his wife Yang who couldn't bear it anymore.

She asked with tears in her eyes: "Master, can we not go?"

"I heard that four people died last time. How can I live if you have something wrong with you?"

Zhou Dashu paused in his eating movements, but then started to eat again at a faster speed than before.

It wasn't until he had finished eating and drinking that he put down his empty bowl that Zhou Dashu assumed the majestic look of the head of the family.

"I have long hair but short knowledge. Can I back down from such a thing?"

"If I don't go this time, if he doesn't go next time, will the people in our village still be alive?"

"At that time, we will no longer be able to survive, and we will have no choice but to flee to find a way to survive, just like those places without water."

"Do you think it's an easy journey? If you don't do it right, our whole family will die on the road."

"Now I am struggling alone, but my whole family can survive. This is a good deal."

"Besides, how did you know you would collapse on me?"

"It's not such a coincidence. I will definitely be able to come back safely."

What Zhou Dashu said to his wife actually happens often in this era.

The Ming Dynasty was not a later generation and could make better use of water resources.

So two different villages actually started fighting over water.

The winning village will naturally be able to use the water source.

And the village that lost.

Sorry, I can only use what others have left.

When the time comes, others may not necessarily give you much left.
