Chapter 172 168. River damming and cofferdam, amazing work



"It seems that Xuanyan is right. You can really use water escape~"

There was no deep meaning in it, he just mentioned it casually and then Zhang San raised another question.

"According to the time calculation, the Qian army should be close to the Yangtze River by now. As long as they cross the ferry, at their speed, they can reach Taiping County in just one day."

Although I don't know what Zhang San meant by this, as long as the licking work is done well, there will never be any counter-effects.

And if you are lucky, you might get something else, right?

"Such marching ability is worthy of being the Dynasty's Thousand Army. The White Tiger Commander was able to apply for such a team for you, which shows his care for you. I think it won't take long for you to rise to prominence!"

As a veteran in the underworld, Wu Tianzhen knew that everything he said was foolproof. However, what he didn't know was that Zhang San sold him out just because of this sentence.

"Is Qianjun really so famous?"

“Like thunder!”

"Then let's have a meal and get to know each other."

"Thank you very much!"

"I would like you to survey the hydrological conditions of the canal."

"It's my honor...?!"

It seemed that she was amused by the two funny people in front of her. After seeing Wu Tianzhen's puzzled expression, Gu Xuanyan could no longer maintain her gentle personality. Before she could cover the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, a laugh as loud as a silver bell rang out.

At this point, no matter how tough Wu Tianzhen is, he has no choice but to fight Zhang San head-on.

Are you kidding? He seems so scared even when talking about this river, and the word "coward" is almost written on his face. In this situation, if you ask him to go down to the river to survey the hydrology, wouldn't that be using him, Old Wu, as a living stake?

Even though the master in front of him was unpredictable, even though he was extremely ruthless, Wu Tianzhen still kept his word today. This was not how business was done! "Master, you..."

"After the deed is done, I will pretend that I have never seen you, and your name will not be on the tomb robber's list."

Really... I hate people like Zhang San the most. They always give people extremely tempting choices. If it were an ordinary person, he really couldn't resist such living conditions, but he didn't go out to ask around.

Could Wu Tianzhen, the descendant of the Nine Sects and the Five Elements Sect, be such a man? In this world, there is only one thing that can blind his eyes...

"Sir, you are a little..."

“Not only the goods I have confiscated from you, but even the goods I have already sold can be given to you for secondary sale. I am not Dou Su, and I never do anything to deceive people.

We will split the profits 50-50 at that time. Don't think it's too little. After all, with just a piece of paper, these goods will have nothing to do with raw goods. I don't need to remind you how big the profit difference is."

But... damn it, his only secret was actually seen through by Zhang San. Life is precious, but love is more precious. If it is for money, both can be thrown away.

My Lord, I actually think we can discuss a more reliable survey method.

"grown ups……"

Wu Tianzhen's expression was almost beyond words. Not to mention an expert in micro-expression analysis like Zhang San, even the vegetable vendors in the market could see that he was a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. If they didn't make more money from him, it would be disrespectful to themselves.

What is surprising is that even though Wu Tianzhen has done this, Zhang San remains unmoved, and the price he offers becomes more and more outrageous.

"It still seems a little too little. After all, these things originally belonged to you. It's really unfair to use your things as my own bargaining chips. Xuanyan, why don't you give him the agency rights of our magic weapons? As for the profits, how about a 20-80 split?"

Marx said this in Capital:

If there is a 20% profit, capital will be ready to move; if there is a 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there is a 100% profit, capital will dare to risk being hanged; if there is a 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on all human laws.

Zhang San has never been a person who is good at forcing others. From the beginning to the end, he just gave others a chance to choose.

Fortunately, after nearly three hundred years of tempering his mind in the mortal world, he seems to have never lost.

"You should decide on this matter, my husband. After all, you are the head of the family."

“Hoo~Hoo~”

Unlike his previous trembling, after hearing Zhang San's conditions, Wu Tianzhen at this moment was like a crazy gambler, with heavy breathing, red eyes, everything about him reflected his madness.

"Hydrological survey, huh? Which section do you want? I'll go down to the river tonight!"

After hearing Wu Tianzhen's words, Zhang San first jumped for joy for his victory, and then he put his finger on the file.

“Swish~”

In order to effectively preserve information for a long time, Da Jin made subtle improvements in ink and paper. It is precisely because of this subtlety that the sound of nails scratching across paper seems so crisp and pleasant.

Looking at the precise arc on the file, Wu Tianzhen could be sure that this was not done casually, but was done intentionally by Zhang San.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to see the problem. The so-called living stake was just an introduction.

Because of the universality of compulsory education, even three-year-old children know that they should always stay away from the blockade area where the guards are stationed. How could a mature adult joke about his own life? Life is short, and taking shortcuts would be a bit too much.

Looking at the arc in front of him, when one thing after another was sorted out, the madness on Wu Tianzhen's face aroused by money was instantly suppressed by surprise.

Zhang San didn't intend to investigate the Tengyun Bridge case in depth. He simply wanted to plow this section of the canal using the most violent means!

When the time comes, no matter what kind of monster you are, as long as you don’t cooperate, you will all die!

"There is a village called Huansha Village 30 miles north of Taiping County. In terms of scale, it is a village that cannot be any smaller. But this is a good thing. After all, it will be much easier to relocate.

Huansha Village is low-lying and with simple modifications, it can store huge amounts of running water. By understanding the hydrological and geographical conditions nearby, the destruction of the houses in Xingsheng Street can be delayed, and once the army arrives, this place will have to be turned into a cofferdam.

Remember, I will block the canal for three days, but if we are lucky, we may be able to solve the problem in one day."

“Bang!!”

As if he was frightened by the news, after being stunned for a full cup of tea, Wu Tianzhen threw the file in his hand to the ground and said viciously.

"You are a lunatic. Do you know how much impact the interruption of the canal flow will have? The economies of Changzhou Prefecture, Guangde Prefecture, and even Southern Zhili will suffer unpredictable losses.

You don’t want your official hat, that’s fine, but I still want my own head!

Where is Magistrate Sun? I want to see Magistrate Sun! "

"Unfortunately, he is writing a report for me right now, so I'm afraid he doesn't have time to come and see you. Don't get me wrong, I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating a fact.

As for the report, we have already written it. Now it depends on your choice."

"What? Are you kidding me?"

Gu Xuanyan: "Translate, my husband means that you can choose to accept it, or be forced to accept it!"
