Whether river mud can fertilize the fields, if you ask a craftsman who studies water conservancy, he will certainly not know.

Even if they knew, could they be more professional than the people in Wanchunzhuang in this respect?

They quickly put aside these questions, did not enter the city, and walked directly to the conspicuous work shed.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountain runs away to a dead horse.The work shed looked close, but it was quite a distance away, especially since there were a lot of people coming and going on the shore, and the ground was covered with fallen water and mud, making it difficult to walk.River mud smells bad.

When the craftsmen came to the shed, they looked no different from those farmers.

A young junior was dozing off at the desk.

An apprentice brought by the craftsman stepped forward and knocked on the table, his tone was quite polite: "Please ask me, can Mr. Tu be here... Excuse me? Wake up?"

After the young man was woken up, his expression was very unfriendly. Although he was dressed as a scholar, his sword eyebrows that were as sharp as a big knife showed a fierce look, and his eyes were full of swords and swords. Before he even said a word, he could make people think Mouth full of fangs in the exit.

The small face of the craftsman apprentice turned pale in an instant, and his legs went limp.

When the young man opened his mouth, his mouth was not full of fangs. On the contrary, his tone was quite gentle, and he even showed a smile: "Who are you looking for?"

The craftsman apprentice looked at that smile, his eyes almost turned black, and he trembled completely: "I, I, I... Excuse me!"

The young man looked inexplicably at the craftsman apprentice who quickly ran away, shook his head and continued to sit down, and continued to "kindly" ask the few people in front of him: "What do you want?" Looking at the clothes before, he thought that these few The individual is together, I didn't expect to see the difference.

In fact, the young people didn't look bad at all. The few people standing in place didn't even scramble, it was just because they were shocked.After a long time, the oldest craftsman stepped forward and bowed half a step and asked, "Dare to ask this young man, is Master Tu Haotu here?"

When the young man heard this question, he opened his eyes wide and looked the group of people up and down.

The craftsmen felt cold all over their bodies, feeling like fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered, being scrutinized by the butcher for the order of slaughter.

The young man spoke up: "Are you all craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Industry to assist in digging the river?"

When they heard this, their hearts were relieved, and the older craftsman even showed a smile on his face trembling: "Yes, yes, we are."

Hearing the words, the young man immediately showed a warm smile, and invited the fat pig to visit the slaughterhouse, and invited: "Please follow me, Master Xiaotu has been waiting for a long time, and he has already said that such a big project , would not be able to do without your full assistance.”

When the craftsmen heard this, their hearts that were a little fluttering just now became at ease.Look, the construction of water conservancy is such a big project, how can mere little kids be able to play around, and they can't be relied on?They're only a few days late, so it's no big deal.

The young man led them all the way, pretending not to see the first apprentice who ran away and tiptoed back, and took them to a river beach not long after.

There were more people on the river beach than those digging the river mud just now, and they all stretched their necks, staring at a boulder by the river.

The part of the boulder exposed on the river is as tall as a person.Several dexterous men held a few thick hemp ropes and tied them up and down like pigs waiting to be slaughtered.Another little brother stood on the top of the boulder, tied some thick hemp ropes into tight knots, and hung them on an iron hook as thick as an arm.

The iron hook hangs from a bracket made of three giant trees, and a rope thick as an arm is also connected to it.The other end of the rope hung long from a large buffalo.There are several healthy donkeys beside the buffalo.

The little brother on the rock checked it carefully, jumped down, walked up to a tall young man in front of the crowd, and reported: "It's been checked, and there's no problem!"

The young man wore a straw hat on his head. Hearing this, he waved a roll of paper in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Pull!"

The big buffalo and the donkey were driven forward, and they could easily hoist the boulder up.

There was a "coax" from the crowd of onlookers, and they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.

After a while, the boulder was hoisted to a place where it was not too obstructive.Someone cheerfully fed the vigorous animals.

Although the original location of the boulder was not in the middle of the river, the river here was originally small, and the boulder blocked almost half of the river.Now that I move away like this, I feel suddenly enlightened.

The crowd also dispersed a bit.

At this time, the young man brought a group of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry forward, walked up to the young man wearing a straw hat and said, "Master Xiaotu, this is a craftsman sent by the Ministry of Industry to control the water."

Tu Hao nodded, and didn't look at people very carefully, and stretched out his hand: "Where's the official document?" I don't know if there is a problem with the water and soil here in Jing County. He has only been here for a few days, and his voice suddenly changed.Even if he experienced it once in his previous life, he doesn't want to talk much recently.

Several craftsmen took a closer look, only to find that the young man they thought was actually a young man, and he was the person they were looking for.As they took out the dispatch documents, they murmured in their hearts: This nobleman just has a different idea, how can he stay in this dirty and smelly place?

Tu Hao checked the official documents, checked the information, nodded and said to the young man who brought them over, "Take them to the work shed to get the equipment. The river in the east is still short of manpower."

The rivers on this side of Jing County are too scattered, and there is no official name.Before the official construction, Tu Hao simply and rudely marked all the rivers according to their directions and divisions, with names such as East One and South Two.

When the young man heard the order, he immediately beckoned the craftsmen to follow.

They still wanted to have a word with Tu Hao, but someone came to Tu Hao helplessly, and seeing that Tu Hao walked away quickly, they could only follow the young man, and said, "I don't know what the name of this young man is? "

The young man was straightforward: "My surname is Tu, and I'm the third in my family. You just need to call me Tu San."

When the craftsmen heard this, they immediately understood that this man was actually a member of the butcher's son. No wonder he looked so fierce when they met just now... On the contrary, Tu Hao, his own son, didn't look so scary.

"It turned out to be Tu Sanlang." The older craftsman approached Tu Santai with a friendly smile, and said, "You see we just arrived here, and we still have our luggage in our hands. Do you want us to settle down first?"

They said they were craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, and their status was quite high among craftsmen.Especially in recent years, the social status of craftsmen has also increased year by year. Among ordinary people, they still have a lot of face.

However, the income level of artisans is still not that high.When they came, they didn't even have a donkey, and they all walked here on their own feet.They set off in the morning, and now they are tired and hungry, and they haven't even had a drink of water. Does this make them go to work?

A few people faintly felt that something was wrong, but just like the old craftsman felt that something was wrong, they couldn't tell what went wrong.

Tu San had long arms and legs, and he brought them to the work shed in a short time, saying, "No rush. Put your things here first. I'll let someone look after them for you. When you're done, come to me to pick them up." tool."

So before tea time, a group of craftsmen changed into neat equipment and were taken to an east section of the river, where they dug the river with a group of ragged and disheveled prisoners.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get to work!" A jailer lifted the whip in his hand and whipped it.

"Crack!" The whip made a loud bang in the air, but it didn't hit the person, but it directly scared the person into the mud.

Most people are still mostly bullying and fearing hard.Even if the craftsman is self-righteous, facing the vicious jailer, he dare not make a loud noise: "Little brother, we are not criminals, we..."

"Hey! I know who you are, aren't you just a few wastes sent by the Ministry of Industry?" The jailer smiled cruelly, "You dare to play tricks before you come, who will give you face? Tell you, if you If you haven’t dug up enough, Grandpa’s whip will come directly to you!”

"This..." Several craftsmen were dumbfounded.No matter how much they felt that something was wrong, no matter how much they imagined that they might be made things difficult, they never thought of the situation in front of them.

They thought Tu Hao was easy to talk to, but they didn't expect to be waiting for them here!

They wanted to make a theory, but the guards were not the only one in front of them, there were several around them.All of them are vicious.

Tu Hao asked people to develop a pulley block, which can deal with some disobedient boulders, but he has not yet developed an excavator.The part of digging the river mud can mobilize the villagers, but the part of widening and modifying the river can only find a way by itself.

The main force of this must still be apportioned by corvees.But corvee work is basically in winter, and summer is now a wet season, which is not very suitable for water control.For now, let some prisoners in the prison do some labor reform for the time being, and some Gyeonggi defenders and military trainers will come around almost every day to help with some transportation.

But in Tu Hao's view, they were more like running with weights.

A few craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry are here, even if they dig the river with all their strength, how much effect can it play?

But Tu Hao didn't care. After returning home, he soaked in the bathtub and slapped the water: "I didn't see the faces of those people, it's too bad!"

"Take a good bath." Xu Mingxu sat outside the bathtub, washed Tu Hao's hair, and was patted all over with water by him. He was so angry that he lowered his head and gnawed on his upturned neck, thinking that summer would not leave marks on his neck. , turned to his Adam's apple and licked it, "Didn't you say you want to kick these people back to the Ministry of Industry?"

"That's too cheap for them." Tu Hao shivered from being licked, and hurriedly pushed his head away from his chest, "Don't, don't, I haven't washed it yet."

These days, every day when the white mouse goes out and the black mouse comes back, he smells of sweat worse than stinky tofu, and he feels that a bucket of water is not enough for taking a bath, and his wife doesn't even dislike it.

Xu Mingxu raised his head and asked seriously: "Wash it again with brother later?"
