Led by Zhou Wu, Xiao Jingzhou and his party climbed up to the south gate of the city.
There stood a soldier on the city gate, holding a red flag in his hand.
After getting Xiao Jingzhou's approval, Zheng Shuyu nodded to the soldiers.
The soldiers stood on the platform, holding the flagpole and began to wave the flag in their hands.
Soon, a flag echoed in the distance on the banks of the Luoxia River.
The distance was too far and everyone could only see a red flag waving.
Zheng Shuyu bowed to Xiao Jingzhou and said, "Your Highness, please follow me."
The group went down the city gate and walked to the nearest dry well at the south gate.
Everyone stared at the bottom of the well with a keen eye.
Everyone’s minds are focused on one thing, hoping that clean water will emerge from the bottom of the well.
...
...
I don’t know how much time has passed, it seems like even a breath is so long.
There was no water at the bottom of the well for a long time, and everyone began to feel anxious.
Xiao Jingzhou stared at the bottom of the well, his heart seemed to be grasped by a hand, making him unable to break free and extremely anxious.
“It’s wet!”
"There's water at the bottom of the well!"
“Great, we have the artifact outside the city.
From now on, you don’t have to worry about running out of the city to fetch water! ”
When Xiao Jingzhou saw the water rising from the bottom of the well, his tense heart suddenly relaxed.
Zheng Shuyu's chin has been treated by a doctor, and he no longer drools when he speaks.
He looked at the water at the bottom of the well, his legs somehow went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Master Zheng!"
Lu Feng took the lead to support him and check if he was injured.
Before he could look at the book and ask, two lines of tears appeared on Zheng Shuyu's face.
"Lord Zheng?" Lu Feng was closest to him, and when he saw his appearance, he just stood there in a daze, motionless.
Everyone withdrew their gaze from the bottom of the well and all fell on Zheng Shuyu.
Zheng Shuyu leaned on Lu Feng and cried like a child.
"How unfair is the way of heaven!"
"The human heart is so sinister!"
"Thinking of Zheng Shuyu, who has been controlling floods for more than ten years, working hard in all weathers, without complaint or regret.
I never thought that I would be branded as corrupt.
The people of the city!
They all drowned! ”
If there had been a pump when the riverbank collapsed, the city wouldn't have accumulated so much water.
A small hole will converge into a big hole, causing the river embankment to collapse and leaving people homeless.
And he can also save some people.
At the same time, he was very clear in his heart.
The root cause is that there is too much sand in the river bank and too little water-cement mud.
He is loyal to the people, but he cannot stop others from pursuing their own selfish interests!
Everyone looked at him like this and didn't know what to feel.
Wei Wenshan clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down.
He had heard with his own ears the true words spoken by the Minister of War after drinking.
That voice was like a thunderbolt, every word piercing the heart.
It is still fresh in my memory.
"Zheng Shuyu? That old man is just an idiot who took the blame.
The higher-ups were short of money and so they misappropriated the funds.
He was so focused on flood control that he let his wife's brother switch the account books without his knowledge.
If he doesn't take the brunt of the disaster, who will?
The prince wants to get involved in muddy waters, so we'll just sit back and watch the fight.
In the end, Your Majesty will suppress this matter anyway.
Come on, keep drinking! ”
After a long while, Zheng Shuyu finally stopped crying.
Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "Sir Zheng, the blood and tears of the people of this city are enough to warn the world.
I hope Lord Zheng will keep this in mind. ”
Lord Zheng wiped his tears and kowtowed: "I will obey your instructions."
Xiao Jingzhou: "Crime should be punished, merit should be rewarded.
Your Majesty has commuted Mr. Zheng's sentence to exile, which is already a punishment for his crime.
Now, Lord Zheng has planned to rebuild the riverbed, which has provided convenience to the people of Zhiyi City, and he should be rewarded. ”
Zheng Shuyu was shaken: "Your Highness..."
Xiao Jingzhou continued, “All the books on water conservancy were given to Mr. Zheng.
I hope that in the future Mr. Zheng will have many students all over the world and make great contributions to water conservancy in the world. ”
When Zheng Shuyu heard that the heavenly book wanted to be given to him, his red eyes were immediately filled with tears.
He kowtowed heavily to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
The news that water had gushed out of the dry well soon reached the ears of the people.
Hearing is not as good as seeing. People from all over the city came out of their houses, carrying buckets and basins, and rushed to the well to line up to fetch water.
People near the wellhead rubbed their eyes hard, unable to believe what they saw.
When someone threw the wooden barrel into the well, there was a crisp bang.
The water splashed on the wall of the well, leaving sporadic watermarks.
A bucket of clear water was drawn from the well.
At this moment, the people around began to get excited.
Everyone smiled so hard that their teeth were showing.
"It's water! There's really water!"
"Master Zheng, you are truly a god!
In such a short time, the water from Luoxia River can be delivered into the city! ”
“Didn’t you see the artifact outside the city?
This is all thanks to the divine power of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the people we should thank the most are the gods!"
When the people saw the water at the bottom of the well, they began to cheer.
Finally, they don’t have to go outside the city to fetch water, which saves them a lot of energy.
Especially widowed women and elderly people with children.
In the team, the little boy pulled the hand of the white-bearded old man and asked, blinking his black eyes.
"Grandpa, do we not have to go out of town to fetch water from now on?"
The old man was hunched over and his front teeth were gone when he smiled.
He exclaimed lovingly, “Yes!”
"My child, you have to remember this.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a very good man.
The gods are the most understanding and righteous gods.
We should be grateful! ”
The boy repeated it with a vague understanding, then said solemnly: "Yes, I remember it!"
The people of Zhiyi City fetched water in the city and lined up to receive rice from the granary.
They rushed home to cook porridge.
Solved the problem of food and drinking water for the people of Zhiyi City.
The big stone in Xiao Jingzhou's heart was gradually removed.
He had just written a letter to Jiang Zhenyu, telling her the good news that Zhiyi City had water supply, when he saw Lu Chen running back in a hurry.
Lu Chen walked quickly, but his face showed no sign of urgency, and he even looked excited.
"Your Highness, please go outside the palace and take a look!"
Xiao Jingzhou stood up and strode out of the study: "What happened?"
Lu Chen followed behind him, stretching his calves swiftly.
He said happily: "The people of Zhiyi City want to build a temple with the image of the gods to worship them.
Now they are all waiting outside the government office. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jingzhou quickened his pace and walked out of the government office.
He stood on the doorstep outside the government office, and the scene before him made him stop in his tracks.
A large crowd of people gathered outside the government office.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come out!"
A loud shout caused everyone to react.
The people knelt on the ground in unison.
"Please, Your Highness, paint a picture of the immortal."
“We wish to build temples and sculpt bodies for the gods.
From now on, I will light long lamps and offer them as a sacrifice to thank the gods for saving my life. ”
Before, many people had talked about building a temple to worship Miss Jiang, but no action was taken.
Xiao Jingzhou originally thought that these people were just talking, but he didn't expect that it would happen today.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingzhou felt embarrassed.
He had previously called Miss Jiang his benefactor, and she was afraid that it would shorten her life.
If a temple is built to worship her, will she agree?
