Chapter 554 Don't worry, I have arranged everything! (Updated 2)

Patriarch Yang was full of confidence, and naturally comforted the other three people, but the three people still had some concerns in their hearts.

Fortunately, Patriarch Yang personally took the three people to watch the excitement.

The autumn wind was hot, and I don't know why, after a month of continuous heavy rain, there would be continuous bright sunshine, and it was the kind of scorching sun.

Building a river embankment under such a scorching sun is indeed a hard job.

The four pampered family heads secretly came to a place where a river embankment was built, waiting for the show.

The head of the Yang family was full of confidence. "The prince wants to build a dam, which is simply a fantasy. There have been floods in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times. Countless wise rulers and ministers have tried to solve the flood problem in the past dynasties, but which one has succeeded?"

"Your Highness the Prince is so young, but he dares to speak wildly and is so ambitious. He actually wants to completely solve the flood in the south of the Yangtze River by rebuilding the river embankment. This is simply a fool's dream!"

The head of the Yang family's cloudy eyes flashed with strong sarcasm. "Since ancient times, the people are most afraid of and hate heavy corvee. Gusu has suffered from floods and the people are suffering. The prince actually made the people perform corvee at this time. It's simply cruel and inhumane!"

"What do you think will happen if a few more people are exhausted to death, or if the people rebel, or even cause civil unrest, and these things are reported back to the capital and the court?"

The four heads of the family all have connections in the court. The court originally had different opinions on the prince's actions, and there were mixed praises and criticisms. Add to that the criticisms from the scholars and literati. If there is any problem again, the prince will be pushed to the forefront again.

If the eldest prince can take advantage of the opportunity to attack the prince, then it is not impossible to use this incident to have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deposed.

The four people were overwhelmed with emotions when they thought that the prince might be deposed.

Isn't this what they have always dreamed of?

By then, the eldest prince will definitely remember them for a great deed!

The four of them stood beside a thick willow tree not far from the river bank. It looked like the tree was many years old, and it would take three people to wrap their arms around it.

At this time, the four of them were standing here, and the shadows of the tree completely blocked their figures. In addition, this place was very secluded, so it was really difficult for outsiders to notice the four of them.

However, the view here was very good, and the scene of the river bank construction could be seen clearly.

The four of them were already very excited, and they were looking forward to it, but as they watched, they always felt that something seemed to be wrong.

The head of the Tang family had a stiff expression, "Brother Yang, are you sure this is the river embankment that the prince is repairing?"

Don't bully him for not having seen the scene of government corvée labor. Whether it is repairing the city wall or building the embankment, there must be officials waving whips and driving away the people!

But how come he just saw some yamen runners delivering water to these people?

He must be dazzled!

It must be!

Otherwise, how could the yamen runners condescend to deliver water to a poor citizen? !

Or they came to the wrong place!

The head of the Yang family looked gloomy and realized something was wrong, but he calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Yes, it's here."

After hearing this, the head of the Chen family asked, "Brother Yang, are you sure you have arranged it?"

Aren't the people serving corvée supposed to be ragged, thin, and pale?

Why are the people here not only wearing intact clothes without any patches, but also wearing gloves on their hands, working very hard.

They are a little thin, but they look very energetic, with that kind of fighting spirit and high-spirited spirit, as if they are full of hope for the future.

The infectious power of so many people gathered together, even if they are far away, they can feel it.

How can this be called corvée service?

There is no atmosphere of the tragedy and misery of corvée service at all?

Is he blind, or are these people too good at pretending?

The head of the Yang family pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "I made this move a long time ago, and there will be no problem! Letting these disaster victims build dams will definitely be exhausting, and the people will definitely be dissatisfied!"

Zheng Shanfu really couldn't listen anymore. We think you are the eldest brother, do you think we are fools? Are

these people tired?

Do they feel dissatisfied in their hearts, do they resent the government, resent the prince, can't they see it, can't they feel it?

At this time, you are still here making excuses, aren't you deceiving yourself?

However, the head of the Zheng family has always been a good person, otherwise, before he ascended to the position of head of the family, he would not have been so popular in the Zheng family!

At this time, even if he was dissatisfied with everything that the head of the Yang family did, he did not say it directly, but raised his doubts in a tactful way.

"Brother Yang, it is not very hard for me to lock up these people to build the embankment. Moreover, they can sit under the shade of the trees to rest. The yamen runners do not watch them, let alone wave whips at them. No, they don't even bring whips!"

"I don't know how Brother Yang will incite emotions in this situation, so that all the people on this side of the riverbank will immediately become chaotic, cause a civil uprising, and lend us a hand?"

The agreed time has passed. Looking at the people who are still working hard, the head of the Yang family is also a little confused and a little uneasy.

Could it be that something really went wrong?

Impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

The person he sent out this time was not some rogue, but a subordinate who was not flexible and smart. There was no reason why the other party could not do such a simple thing!

"We can tell at a glance whether something went

wrong." The head of the Yang family immediately walked towards the river bank. He also wanted to see what kind of accident happened here!

The three people next to him immediately followed. They really wanted to know what was going on.

This kind of dam construction was completely different from the dam construction they had in mind!

There must be something wrong here!

When the four people got closer, they found that many of the clothes of these people were the same.

Although they also need to transport stones, they are not big in size, and they are all pushed by carts. Basically, two people push one cart, or three people push one cart. Although it is also very hard, it is much easier and safer than carrying a huge stone by one person.

The four people also found that what they did most was pouring water and mud to build the embankment? ? ?

It has only been a few days, and the embankment has been built like this? ?

? Is this reasonable?

Is it normal?

Who can tell them, what is this speed?

Seeing people mixing mud, building walls, and people delivering stones continuously.

The four people were silent for a while.

What is going on? Can anyone explain it to them?

Is it so easy to build a dam?

Why didn't they know this before!

"I am honored to have the four family heads here!" The little prince's voice rang out slowly, and several people shuddered all over!
