Chapter Thirty-Nine, The River

Yu Lianchen, the lord of Dachi City, pulled his son to his side, pointed at Su Chen and cursed: "You liar, you dare to come to my territory. Come on, arrest him quickly."

Suddenly, several followers following him were about to come forward to capture Su Chen, investigate and handle the case, and to hear the case was the responsibility of the city lord. In Lian Chen's opinion, Su Chen hit the gun.

"Wait, Dad, is there any misunderstanding?"

Yu Haoyi panicked and hurriedly stopped him in the middle.

"Get out of the way! Don't believe what he said. Did he say he is the little prince of the Xizhou Prince's Mansion?"

Yu Lianchen looked as if he was disappointed and scolded his son.

Yu Haoyi nodded in confusion at first, then shook his head and said, "Dad, he said he is the second son of the Prince of Xizhou Palace."

This time, it was Yu Lianchen's turn to be confused. When will there be an extra second son in the Xizhou Prince's Mansion? Why didn't he listen to the General Manager of the Ministry of Personnel?

"Don't listen to him talking nonsense. He just wanted to cheat you on your property. My Longyuan Sword was cheated away by him!"

Yu Lianchen still refused to give in.

Su Chen finally couldn't help it, walked forward, showed off the purple-slayed gold medal that symbolized the arrival of the King of Xizhou, and said, "Master Yu, do you know this?"

The moment Yu Lianchen saw the purple pendant, his heart skipped a beat, as if he couldn't jump anymore, but he still couldn't believe it, so he took the token into his hand, carefully identified it, and confirmed that it was undoubtedly the token of the King of Xizhou!

"I should die, I am stupid, I don't know if the little prince is coming."

Yu Lianchen immediately knelt down and kowtowed hard. He didn't dare to stop Su Chen even if he didn't speak.

"Stop, I've said that I'm the second son of the Prince of Xizhou Palace. Are your ears deaf?"

When Su Chen heard the word "Little Prince", he was bored when he heard it and scolded him.

Yu Lianchen didn't dare to speak any more, buried his face tightly on the ground, and did not dare to look up. He was crying in his heart at this moment, and his whole body was messy. True and false, false, what did he make a mistake?

The next few people came to the old man's house. Su Chen thought that he could not always pretend to behave in public. He was here to do practical things this time.

Although the old man is the county lord, his living place is slightly more spacious than the ordinary bungalows. The house has fewer furniture. A large four-corner table is considered an office space. On the other side are living utensils, which look extremely simple.

Su Chen and others gathered at the four corner table and explained their own story in detail.

After Yu Lianchen figured it out, he was so angry that he was so angry that the head of the Ministry of Personnel was really an old fox. In the end, he didn't tell him about the second son of the royal family. The trouble was all blamed for the head of the Ministry of Personnel. The most annoying thing was that he pretended to be a good man in the end and cheated him of a box of gold.

"This damn old fox, I must settle the score with him!"

Just after Yu Lianchen complained, Su Chen said to him sternly: "You still have the face to say that others are the most damn thing! You only care about small profits and ignore the lives and death of the people in the country. If it weren't for your son's helping you make up for the merits, I would have wanted to demote you just now!"

When Yu Lianchen heard this, he hurriedly knelt down again and said, "I was confused for a while, so I beg my son to be gentle."

From the conversation just now, he had learned that Su Chen came this time with the power of life and death. The purple gold medal was a symbol of power. He was afraid that he would anger the second young master again, and his official position would be over.

"As for how to punish you, I haven't figured out yet. The most important thing now is how to solve the drought problem."

"Yes, yes, I will cooperate with the young master and say the same thing."

Su Chen disdained him. He now has the power of life and death, and is not afraid of his slander. He turned to Yu Haoyi and said, "You come to accompany me these days. If you can solve the drought, I can give you a seventh-rank official position."

,,

In the following days, Su Chen ordered the city lord Yu Lianchen to escort food and water on a regular basis every day, while he and Yu Haoyi began to cross mountains and ridges to find a solution to the drought.

On the way, he passed by Dachicheng, which was hazy and hazy and beautiful, and in his eyes, Dachicheng was a graceful woman covered in a tulle and secretly sent him a look, but he did not dare to stay for a long time. Although the scenery along the way was good, he promised the King of Xizhou that he must solve the problem of drought, which was also a great opportunity for him to accumulate image in his father's heart.

Through visits and investigations, he found that not only the old man's town had this problem, but also the towns on the back of Zhelong Mountain. This is also the reason why there are a large number of refugees in Yecheng every year. When spring comes, after the grain storage last year was exhausted, it encountered drought. Many residents in the township were forced to embark on the road of escape and flee north. On the way, they encountered cities and left behind all the lives. Many people were still excluded and had to choose to go to Yecheng, which was bustling and lively, and there were many dignitaries and nobles. Even if they could not find a livelihood, they could still live by begging.

Su Chen climbed up Zheyun Mountain and observed the weather changes. Four rains occurred in Dachi City in three days. The water resources were abundant. The water level of that large lake has always been very high. If there were no large amount of clouds and fog, Dachi City would have been flooded long ago. Strangely, the water vapor can only flow to the middle of the mountain at a time, and it can never cross Zheyun Mountain.

He asked Yu Haoyi to invite the Fengshui master in the city to help him analyze it, and the conclusion was that the wind direction here would change according to the season. The ridge of Zheyun Mountain was east-west and winding. In summer and autumn, the east-west wind was blowing here. The water in other places could blow along the wind to the back of Zheyun Mountain. Although it was not many, it was enough for a small number of residents behind the mountain. It was enough for them to produce food for winter between the two seasons. However, after the cold winter, south wind began to blow around Zheyun Mountain. The water vapor was blocked by the mountains and could not pass, which led to a situation where drought and waterlogging were at the same time.

After understanding the principle, Su Chen planned to dig a river along Zhaiyun Mountain and divert the large lake in Dachi City into the back mountain. By visiting the mountains and rivers and surveying the terrain, he found several suitable routes.

These days, Yu Haoyi also followed him over mountains and rivers, and never slacked off for a moment. Seeing that he was an available person, Su Chen used the power of appointment and appointed him as the head of the Ministry of Works and was responsible for supervising the construction of rivers. At the same time, he thought of the measures to punish Yu Lianchen, so he fined him three years of salary to pay for the expenses of supervising the construction of rivers. Yu Lianchen was very happy when he knew about it. It was a blessing that he could keep the black hat. The most important thing was that by accident, his son really got an official position.

The river was dug up quickly, and Yu Haoyi did not delay the work at all. Just like his character, he did not take too much credit and said nonsense. Su Chen was very relieved. The river was from top to bottom along the hillside, and there were many natural ditches along the road, so the project volume was not very large. According to the plan, the construction period was about two months. He had to wait until the river was dug up successfully before he could go back to report his life.

On this day, as usual, he sat in a corner of the hillside, observing the progress of the project.

Yu Lianchen climbed up with a plate of food box and gave it to Su Chen with great sincerity. Su Chen opened the food box and saw that there was his favorite pear blossom cake. He laughed secretly, "This old fried dough stick has put in some effort when he becomes attentive."

Seeing Su Chen laughing, Yu Lianchen felt relieved immediately. He also imitated his son and tried to talk less and do more. Then he turned around and prepared to go down the mountain.

At this time, Su Chen suddenly stopped him, his expression subtle and revealed a hint of evil. He suddenly panicked again.
