The princess doesn't talk much

Chapter 21 Building Embankments and Dams
Before General Luo finished speaking, he was interrupted by a slightly cold voice.

"General Luo, this matter should not be forced, everyone has his own ambition." It was Ye Wuming's voice.

General Luo looked suspiciously at the man who couldn't see his face clearly, and wondered why this long-term worker of Yan's family felt more imposing than Xiao Er of Yan's family.

Hearing Ye Wuming's words, he nodded without saying a word, and said: "The meals of my colleagues are also to save your life. If you want to eat Wulu City, I don't know how much time it will take to build the embankment. If you eat all of them, the road ahead will be even worse. It's hard to go."

As soon as these words came out, those villagers immediately spoke their minds.

"Don't worry, general, there are no valuable things in our village, and we can still get enough to eat. The soldiers helped us build dams, so we can't go hungry. Folks, don't you think so?!"

"Yes, my family is willing to contribute food, and I am also willing to contribute."

"Yes, if the dam is not repaired before the flood season, when the flood arrives, the village will be flooded, and there will be no food to eat."

"I am willing to give food."

"I would too!"

"And me, and me!"

……

The common people promised with one voice that they would donate food, so it would be hard for them strong men to refuse.

Besides, everyone is not a fool. Building dams is just a labor of effort. Going to the battlefield is a matter of desperation.

Naturally, which one is safe, which one to choose.

Seeing that the common people supported and the soldiers did not object, General Luo shook his heart and said loudly: "Okay! The General Chuanben will set up camp on the banks of the Huanling River, help the people on both sides of the river, and build dikes and dams!"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"

-

There are some things that can be said to be a slasher, but it is difficult to do it, and it is difficult to reach the sky.

General Luo and his lieutenants had been standing on the bank for half an hour, but they couldn't figure out how to repair the embankment.

In other words, he squatted on the ground, resting his chin on his hands and staring blankly at the rolling Huanling Jiangdong water, his face was also full of sadness.

General Luo looked at him like that, wanted to get angry but couldn't get angry.

The construction of dams is not something that can be done at will. In addition to providing money and food, the imperial court will inevitably send Sikong from the Ministry of Industry to supervise the construction. There are plans, drawings, and technology. What about a burning heart?
Fortunately, they responded impassionedly, but they could only stand by the river helpless, and they couldn't even figure out what materials and tools they needed to prepare.

As the saying goes, every line is like a mountain. General Luo has fought all his life. He knows how to dig pits and build trenches. It is really difficult to build walls and dams.

When everyone was sighing, Ye Wuming said calmly: "The general can ask the local officials for help." Like this kind of village that has been threatened by floods all year round, the city they belong to must have craftsmen who know how to build dams, so there is no need to go far and report to the court.

It's really a word that wakes up the dreamer.

This was indeed a good idea. General Luo immediately sent two of his lieutenants to the city under Lingsha Village for help.

Those two rode their horses and whipped their whips, not daring to delay for a moment, they rushed back before dark.

However, seeing the disheveled appearance of the two, General Luo thought in his heart that he was afraid that things would not go well.

Sure enough, the deputy general named Dong Daqiang among the two said with a bitter face: "Report to the general, this Lingsha village belongs to Qingzhou Prefecture, and Lord An of Qingzhou Prefecture refused to send people to build the dam, and asked the general to give the general a message."
