Chapter 462: The problem of closure is solved
Wei Qing ignored Zhang Tongpan and looked at Chang Yu.
"Mr. Chang, you make the arrangements, and I fully support you!"
Chang Yu's eyes turned slightly red, and he felt indescribably moved.
He really didn't expect that the imperial envoy would use his opinion despite the pressure and trust him so much!
He has met his mentor, and he will repay him with all his sincerity and will not let the imperial envoy down!
Chang Yu nodded vigorously and started to make arrangements without any delay.
He took dozens of craftsmen to the embankment, pointed out two locations, and asked the craftsmen to dig.
Then he arranged a few more people to prepare the materials for the joint.
By the time all this was done, it was already dark, and people lit torches to illuminate the dam.
Next, it’s time for the most important step – joining the two pieces!
Because there are three dragon mouths, they must be closed at the same time. Closing the dragon mouths is the most important thing, success or failure depends on this!
"The closure requires experienced hydraulic engineers..." Chang Yu said.
"I'll be responsible for the dragon's mouth in the middle," said the old plumber.
Putting aside his prejudice against Chang Yu, the old plumber agreed with this opinion and hoped that this method would succeed.
"You guys, follow me." said the old plumber.
Several water workers immediately walked over to the old water worker.
The old plumber ordered a dozen more and was responsible for the other two dragon mouths.
The materials and personnel are ready, and we just need to put the pieces together.
"Sir, we will start working as soon as you give the order." said the old plumber.
Wei Qing nodded.
Everyone took their place.
"Join the joint!" Wei Qing shouted.
At Wei Qing's command, all the water workers got busy.
Wei Qing pursed his lips tightly, looking a little nervous. Although Tang Li believed Chang Yu, he was also nervous.
I hope this time the closure will be successful!
Judge Zhang stood on a high place, waiting to see the joke.
The closure will definitely fail, and Wu is finished!
The water workers never stopped working, and after several hours, the joint was successfully closed!
"It's done, sir!"
"This method really works!"
"Great! The dam is closed!"
Everyone cheered happily.
The problem that had troubled everyone for many days was finally solved, and the dark clouds that had been pressing down on their heads finally dissipated.
Because the closure was successful, everyone's attitude changed a lot.
"Mr. Chang, you're awesome." The old plumber gave Chang Yu a thumbs up.
Calling him 'Mr. Chang' is a sign of respect and recognition for him!
Chang Yu was very excited. After so many years, he finally stopped denying and despising and started to accept it.
He finally waited for this day!
He had waited for this day for too long.
"Mr. Chang, it's late. I'll have someone take you to rest." Wei Qing said, "Tomorrow I'll hear Mr. Chang's advice on how to deal with the flood in Yizhou."
This is just a starting point, there is still a long way to go.
Chang Yu suppressed his excitement, nodded, bowed to Tang Li and Wei Qing, and then turned and left.
They live in a nearby village.
"Wife, let's go too." Wei Qing said.
Tang Li's gaze fell on Zhang Tongpan, who was staring at the embankment in the distance, as if thinking about something.
Wei Qing also glanced at him, took Tang Li's hand, turned around and walked towards the village.
Judge Zhang stood there with a very ugly look on his face.
How is that possible?
The closure was actually successful!
How could the Chang family's suggestion possibly succeed?!
"Master Zhang." At this time, a man walked up to his side.
"Sir Zhang is the Magistrate of Water Conservancy and is the most knowledgeable about water conservancy. However, the imperial envoy has given this important task to the Chang family. I really feel unfair for Sir Zhang." said Sir Qian.
Judge Zhang's expression became even uglier.
Yes, Lord Wu rejected the suggestion he put forward without even thinking about it!
If we do as he suggested, it will definitely be countless times better than it is now.
Now that Chang Yu’s suggestion has come true, Lord Wu must have complete faith in Chang Yu, and he will have no say in the future!
…
Wei Qing took Tang Li back to his residence, a farmer's house.
It was late and all the farmers were asleep.
The two of them tiptoed into the room.
The conditions were simple, and the two of them didn't wash or brush their teeth. They just lay down on the bed in their undershirts.
"Wife, you should go back tomorrow." Wei Qing said.
He is not afraid of hardship, but he is reluctant to let his wife suffer with him.
"What? Don't you want to see me?" Tang Li snorted.
"Of course not, I can't wait to see my wife every day. She's so pretty. One more look at her makes me feel energetic..." Wei Qing explained hurriedly, his tongue almost tied.
It wasn't until Tangli chuckled that Wei Qing realized she was teasing him and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wife, you are so bad." Wei Qing muttered.
Tangli kissed him on the lips.
"Husband, let's go to bed."
Her husband has been busy all day and must be exhausted.
The two fell asleep hand in hand.
The next day.
When Tangli woke up, the people around him were gone.
She got up, washed up briefly, ate the breakfast prepared by the farmers, and went to the dam.
The sky was dark and covered with dark clouds, just like the scene in Tangli’s dream.
It seems that the flood happened today.
If the dam can withstand the flood, it will be a complete success.
Tang Li came to the embankment and saw a tall figure in the crowd. It was her husband.
Tang Li walked to her husband's side. When Wei Qing saw her, he smiled and held her hand.
Several people looked at them. When the lady was around, the master seemed like a different person. The coldness disappeared and he became gentle.
No matter how cold and hard a man is, he has a gentle side. Lord Wu gives all his gentleness to his wife.
Tang Li and Wei Qing looked at the dam together.
"There might be a flood later." Wei Qing said.
Indeed it will, Tangli’s dream foreshadowed it.
After waiting for a while, I saw the rushing flood rolling towards me!
Everyone's expressions became nervous.
The rushing flood hit the dam, but the dam was not broken!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the flood was successfully diverted.
This is the right first step.
Wei Qing patted Chang Yu's shoulder.
Fortunately, there is Chang Yu. If the bridge cannot be closed today, the flood will submerge several villages, and the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Wife, why don't you go back first?" Wei Qing said.
Tangli nodded.
Tang Li thought of something and whispered into Wei Qing's ear.
Wei Qing nodded: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Tangli nodded and went back.
Wei Qing, Chang Yu, the old water engineer, and others discussed the next flood control plan. They had only solved the current problem, and there was still a long way to go to completely control the flood in Yizhou.
Tangli returned to Hegu County. She didn't feel tired, so she went to Chunmian Villa to see if there was anything she could help with.
As a result, he met Fan Yuexi who was in a hurry and looked panicked, as if something had happened.
"Yuexi, what happened?" Tangli pulled her and asked.
