Chapter 461: Wei Qing Supports Chang Yu
Wei Qing looked at Chang Yu. He saw that this man had a handsome face, and he really couldn't guess why his wife brought him here.
"Wife..." Wei Qing was puzzled.
"Mr. Chang is well versed in flood control strategies." Tang Li said.
Many pairs of eyes were looking at them, and Tangli felt a little embarrassed.
"Husband, please put me down." Tang Li said in a soft voice.
Wei Qing then put the person down, but he still held her waist tightly and didn't let go.
"Mr. Chang is very powerful. He is a genius in water control." Tang Li said again, praising Chang Yu to the sky.
Chang Yu felt a little embarrassed.
He was a bastard son of the Chang family. Together with his elder brother Chang Yan, he studied flood control strategies with Master Song. He had been with Master Song for five years and had learned a lot.
Five years ago, Old Song passed away, and his eldest brother inherited his legacy. He strongly disagreed with his eldest brother's flood control plan and had tried to stop it, but his eldest brother was stubborn and kicked him out of the flood control team.
He had always agreed with Mr. Song's flood control methods, but Mr. Song was also human, and his methods were not perfect. So in the past few years, he traveled to every part of Yizhou and improved his flood control methods.
Even though it has some improvements, I wouldn't say it's completely perfect, but Madam Wu praised it so highly...
"Madam, you are too kind." Chang Yu said quickly.
Wei Qing knew that his wife never boasted, but always spoke the truth. Her words showed that Mr. Chang was truly capable.
"Mr. Chang's visit is like timely help to me," said Wei Qing.
Chang Yu was very happy. He thought the imperial envoy's words meant that he believed him and wanted to use him!
"What difficulties do you have, sir?" Chang Yu asked.
Wei Qing pointed to the dam and said, "The dam is almost complete, but the water is flowing too fast and it can't be closed."
Chang Yu walked forward a few steps and looked at the dam.
Wei Qing took Tang Li's hand and took two steps forward.
Tangli looked at the rushing water, which was just like the scene in his dream.
She looked up at the sky. The weather was good, not overcast. She figured the flood wouldn't come at this time, so they still had time. As long as they could find a solution quickly, they could prevent the tragedy in her dream from happening.
Chang Yu stood and watched for a while, then went down to the dam and squatted down to observe the dam and the water flow. He observed for a while, took off his shoes, walked into the water, walked along the dam to the joint, stood for a while, and continued walking forward, walking back and forth several times.
"Wife, where did you find this Mr. Chang?" Wei Qing asked.
"I picked it up."
Tangli tells Chang Yu how he picked up this person and his life story.
Wei Qing also knew the Chang family. Chang Yan had a bad reputation, and Chang Yu was actually Chang Yan's younger brother.
He absolutely trusted his wife. Since she brought Chang Yu here, it meant that she trusted him. So he also trusted him and would not be biased against him just because he was Chang Yan's younger brother.
Chang Yu turned around in the water several times before coming up and walking in front of Wei Qing.
"Master Wu, I have a solution."
Wei Qing called other people over and asked them to listen to Chang Yu's opinion together.
"Mr. Chang, please speak." Wei Qing said.
"The water flow at the joint is too turbulent, and the conditions for joint closure are not met." Chang Yu said.
"Everyone knows this, do I need to tell you?" Judge Zhang said coldly.
He heard that Mrs. Wu had found another genius in flood control, so he wanted to see how capable the other person was.
Is this person worthy of being called a water control genius?
Is this all the water control genius can do?
He is the Magistrate of Water Conservancy. It's bad enough that Xu Ziwen, a layman, is above him, but now here comes a pretty boy whose background is unknown, claiming to be a genius in water conservancy. It's really ridiculous.
Chang Yu paid no attention to Zhang Tongpan's sarcasm, but took out a branch and drew a dam on the ground.
"This is the dragon's mouth. I suggest this place, and this place as well," Chang Yu marked two spots with a branch. "If we split these two, we'll have three dragon's mouths, reducing the force of the water flow. Then we can close all three of them at the same time!"
As soon as Chang Yu finished speaking, everyone looked at him in shock.
"Are you crazy? This is the dam we built with great difficulty, and you want to cut it open?" Judge Zhang said in disbelief.
"Yeah, was it all in vain if you didn't save us before you intercepted us?"
"It didn't close properly, and there are two more gaps... We've never done this before, and who knows if this will ruin the entire dam?!"
"Yeah, if we cut it apart, can you guarantee that we can put it back together? Instead of making it more and more complicated?"
Several water engineers said that they strongly disagreed with Chang Yu's opinion.
What kind of idea is this? Are you sure you're not here to cause trouble?!
"I think this method is feasible. There are three dragon mouths with little momentum. We can give it a try if we close them at the same time." One of the older hydraulic engineers said.
This water engineer is the master of several other water engineers, so his words still have some authority.
The young water workers did not refute again.
"Mr. Chang, the adults said that you are a genius in flood control. Then you have to let us know who your teacher is, how many years you have been engaged in flood control, and what successful experiences you have. Only then can we feel at ease." Judge Zhang said.
"Yes, your surname is Chang. Are you related to Chang Yan?" asked a water worker.
Chang Yu said, "Chang Yan is my elder brother."
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the others changed again.
"Great, it turns out to be the Chang family! How could the Chang family come up with any reliable ideas!"
"Master Wu, this Chang Yan is a criminal from our Yizhou. Chang Yan's brother is definitely not a good person either. You must not trust him!"
"Yes, he just came up with a stupid idea to harm us!"
"Sir, don't listen to him!"
Even the old water engineer who originally supported Chang Yu became hesitant at this moment.
Chang Yu’s face turned pale.
Even if the Imperial Envoy believed him, what would it matter? No one else would believe him.
Under such doubts, the imperial envoy would also doubt him.
The suggestions he made will not be adopted.
Changyu, Changyu, your path is very difficult.
Chang Yu gave a wry smile.
Tang Li believed Chang Yu, and she looked at Wei Qing.
Wei Qing nodded slightly in response.
He looked at the rolling river. He had little time left and had to make a decision immediately.
"Just do as Chang Yu suggested!" Wei Qing said.
"Sir, this cannot be done. If something goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility." Judge Zhang said hurriedly.
This imperial envoy is too stubborn. Is he trying to kill them?
"If it fails, I will bear all the consequences!" Wei Qing said in a firm voice.
Judge Zhang's eyes flashed. Will he take full responsibility?
He was extremely dissatisfied with the imperial envoy. If the flood could be controlled, the imperial envoy would have accomplished a great feat and his achievements would be remarkable. He would surely be promoted to a high position.
Therefore, he certainly hoped that the flood control would fail. By then, the imperial envoy would definitely be convicted and his future would be ruined!
"Sir Wu, I have tried to persuade you, but you insisted on your own way and there is nothing I can do," said Judge Zhang.
