Huo Yunchao felt very disappointed. After he read the data and information provided to him by County Magistrate Wang, his spirit became even more depressed: "Sir, then the promise I made to the refugees will be in vain?"

County Magistrate Wang patted Huo Yunchao on the shoulder and wanted to say something to comfort him. Seeing Huo Yunchao's reaction like a beaten cock, he felt that it was useless to say anything.

Huo Yunchao left the county government office filled with sadness and disappointment. The carriage was walking on the bumpy dirt road, which made him even more upset.

"parking!"

Huo Yunchao got off the carriage and walked on the yellow-brown dirt road, looking at the mountains and rivers not far away, with green water and green mountains. He walked step by step to the river embankment that needed to be rebuilt, and walked along the river embankment.

Walking and walking, Huo Yunchao's legs became weak. All along the way, there were river embankments that needed to be built. Indeed, as Magistrate Wang said, just getting the stones to build the river embankments would cost the energy of the people in the county. The stones were smashed into stones one by one and then transported from the mountains to the river for construction. Just collecting the stones cost so much, and the people really didn't have any extra energy to help the refugees build houses.

Huo Yunchao sat on the river bank in a daze. The turbid brown muddy water made it impossible to see what was hidden in the river. He picked up a stone and threw it into the river.

bang~

Water splashed everywhere.

Huo Yunchao's thinking began to spread, and those ignorant people did not hesitate to throw the baby girl into the river in order to make a fortune...

bang——

bang bang bang-

Eh! ! !

Huo Yunchao stood up suddenly. His movement was too strong. His feet slipped and he fell into the river with a thud.

Zhou Changxing was dumbfounded. He never thought that his wise and mighty Marquis would slip and fall into the river!

puff-

Secret Guard Yi jumped into the river without saying a word. When he caught Huo Yunchao, he tried to pull him to the shore. However, Huo Yunchao hugged him into his arms:

"Hahaha! I know how to solve the stone problem!"

Secret Guard B: ...How about I let go?

Complaints are complaints, secret guard Yi diligently fished his master ashore: "Master Marquis, how are you?"

"I'm fine, I'm very fine! I figured out how to get enough stones in a short time!"

Huo Yunzhao asked about the stone, and the secret guard Yi was secretly happy. He mistakenly thought it was "food" and thought about getting something delicious.

At this time, Secret Guard B did not know that his master was about to do something earth-shattering!

Huo Yunchao ignored the explanation and called to the secret guard Yi and Zhou Changxing: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Send me to the county government office!"

Zhou Changxing stopped talking: Mr. Hou hasn't been home for almost half a month. He finally had some free time. Why did he go to the county government again?

Secret Guard B had completely different ideas from Zhou Changxing. He had been thinking about the "ingredients" mentioned by Huo Yunchao, and mistakenly thought that Huo Yunchao was in a hurry to go back to the county office to ask Magistrate Wang for ingredients to make delicious meals.

Just like that, three people with three different ideas sat in the same carriage back to the county government office.

Magistrate Wang was handling official duties when he heard Huo Yunchao's voice coming from outside the study. He thought he was hallucinating. Based on his understanding of Huo Yunchao, this wife slave and daughter slave should be staying at home to be a loving father and filial daughter. How could they come back to see him again?

"Sir, I know how to solve the stone problem!"

Huo Yunchao rushed into the study and said with great interest.

Magistrate Wang couldn't keep up with Huo Yunchao's jumping thinking, so he asked: "What's the problem with the stone? Yunchao, what new dish do you want to make?"

Huo Yunchao was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "No, no, no, sir, the stone I'm talking about is not an ingredient for cooking. I'm talking about the stone materials used to build river embankments and houses! Stone materials!"

Magistrate Wang looked puzzled and asked, "What idea do you have in mind? Tell me."

Huo Yunchao was so excited that he could not speak coherently. He said whatever he thought of: "Hey, when we excavate stones, we rely on manpower to smash and pick them, right? Suppose we want to build a ten-mile-long river embankment, and thousands of civilians are needed to excavate stones. If I have a way to get the stones for building the river embankment in ten days. If it only requires manpower to carry it, it will save a lot of time and have more stones for the people to build houses. No matter how strong the wind or rain is, they will not be afraid. There will be disaster.”

Magistrate Wang racked his brain and only came up with one idea: "Yun Chao, your idea is right. The problem is how are you going to get so many stones in ten days? Are you planning to use them?" Burning the mountain, right? If this method goes wrong, it will cause a huge mountain fire, but you can’t do it!"

Besides setting fire to the mountain, Magistrate Wang could not think of any other possibility.

"Huh? Sir, your idea is more dangerous than mine! My method is not to set fire to the mountain, but it is a bit close." Huo Yunchao deliberately let it slip.

County Magistrate Wang rolled his eyes at him, started writing the official document again, and stopped talking to Huo Yunchao.

Huo Yunchao had been with Magistrate Wang for a long time, and he didn't feel embarrassed. He sat in his old seat and wrote down one stroke at a time: saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur.

When County Magistrate Wang saw that Huo Yunchao was so calm, he couldn't sit still: "Yunchao, don't show off. Tell me what method you came up with."

"Keep it secret!" Huo Yunchao replied with a playful smile.

Magistrate Wang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, shouting angrily: "Huo Yunchao!"

Huo Yunchao took out the crooked paper he had written on and sent it to Magistrate Wang: "Sir, please help me get these five things. I will tell you what treasure they are after the test is successful."

Magistrate Wang asked again and again: "Experiment? Yun Chao, what exactly do you want to do?"

However, Huo Yunchao's mouth was like that of an old clam, refusing to speak until he died.

Magistrate Wang really had nothing to do with him, so he called for a servant to find all the materials on the paper for Huo Yunchao, "Yunchao, I have found the things for you. It's time for you to tell me what you want to do, right?"

Huo Yunchao still refused to let go: "I haven't succeeded in the experiment yet."

Magistrate Wang's patience ran out: "I want to see what you can do in the end!"

Huo Yunchao said confidently: "Once the experiment is successful, sir, you will definitely understand what it means to shake the world and cry ghosts and gods."

Magistrate Wang became even more curious.

Huo Yunchao got the required materials from the county government and ordered Zhou Changxing and secret guard Jia Yi to drive to the foot of the mountain.

The sun gradually dissipates, the bright moonlight shines on the earth, and the mosquitoes at the foot of the mountain become more and more crazy.

The hands of the four people led by Huo Yunchao were dark and stained with pungent materials.

Zhou Changxing was puzzled: "Master Hou, what are we doing?"

"I'm doing a great experiment!" Huo Yunchao replied.

Zhou Changxing: ...Master Hou, if you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to answer.

Secret Guard B felt so miserable that he happily thought that Huo Yunchao had thought of something delicious and returned to the county government office. How could he have imagined that Huo Yunchao would actually take the three of them to the foot of the mountain to play in the mud!
