Chapter 661 Responsible For Building Canals And Moats!
After a pause, Qin Hong continued.
"Master Su, this time I am planning to organize a team of migrant workers, which I will personally lead."
"As for the personnel... Do you have anyone you can trust?"
Su Ran shook his head: "I don't know about that~.
"But I do know a few old farmers who can do it."
"Perhaps they're up to this - a tough job!"
"That's it..."
Qin Hong frowned slightly, obviously feeling a little unreliable, he said:
"In this case, this matter needs to be considered in the long run."
"Yes!" Su Ran nodded and said, "It's been a hard work for Mr. Qin during this time!"
Qin Hong chuckled: "You're welcome, I believe in Mr. Su's ability and he will arrange things as soon as possible!"
"By the way, is there anyone else in your family?"
"I have a wife, children, parents, and some servants."
"Call them all together and talk here!"
"Yes!" Qin Hong immediately went to make arrangements. Soon, everyone except Su Ran gathered in the courtyard.
Qin Hong introduced: "This is the new champion scholar, Yin Tianren!"
Everyone clasped their fists: "Caomin (subordinates) see Mr. Su!"
"No need to be formal!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"I'm inviting you here this time because I want to ask you to help me with something!"
Su Ran looked at everyone and said, "Are you willing to help me?"
"My lord, if you have anything to say, just give me your orders. I will go through fire and water, no matter what!"
Zhang Hu patted his chest and said.
"Your Majesty has an order, and I will follow it to the death!"
Li Daniu also said.
"Follow me to the death!!"
"Follow me to the death!!" A crowd of people echoed.
They had long been impressed by Su Ran's life-saving kindness.
Moreover, they knew that without the banknotes provided by Su Ran, they would have become the dead souls of the bandits.
Su Ran glanced at everyone and said:
"I heard that disasters have been happening all over the place year after year, and people are in dire straits?"
Everyone was silent and looked sad.
Su Ran asked again: "Are you willing to do things for the country and the people?"
Everyone raised their heads, with tears in their eyes, and choked with sobs: "Yes!"
Su Ran said: "Well, I will give you a chance to serve the country and defend the country now!"
"What are your instructions, sir?"
A young man stood up and said.
Su Ran stretched out his finger to the northeast and said:
"There is a reservoir more than thirty miles northwest of Nanling County, and the reservoir is full of water."
"You only need to dig out the reservoir and fill it up within half a month, and the task will be considered complete!"
……………Please ask for flowers……013404319 Feilu 143131221]
"This..." Everyone looked hesitant.
It is not easy to fill the reservoir. It may not be completed even in half a year, let alone half a month!
"Sir, the reserves of this reservoir are extremely high. Even if it takes three years, it won't be full."
"Let alone now, where do you want us to find so much money?"
Magistrate Zhang sighed.
"Isn't it enough?"
Su Ran blinked.
He thought the reservoir had enough reserves to fill it up.
After all, the water level there is very shallow,
Logically speaking, it doesn't take much time at all.
Magistrate Zhang said helplessly: "You don't know, Nanling County's annual irrigation expenses are a huge expense."
"This does not include the loss of food. If the reservoir is filled again, it will be difficult for us people to even eat..."
"Let's do this. You tell me where the reservoir is, and I'll go get some silver!"
"You want to go to the reservoir?"
Everyone looked at Su Ran in surprise.
"Yes!" Su Ran nodded.
"Sir..." County Magistrate Zhang dissuaded him: "Sir, you are a tall and dignified man. How can you be subordinate to others and do such sneaky things?"
"Please take back what you just said, otherwise, I would rather die than take action!"
