Chapter 1788 The so-called observance of integrity(1/2)
When Guan Ning arrived at the scene, the construction site was in a mess, and the ground was muddy due to continuous rain.
But what surprised him was that under such circumstances, he was still working...
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Chen Xuan came over with his trouser legs rolled up and a raincoat wrapped around his head, looking stunned.
"I can't rest assured here."
Guan Ning asked directly: "What's the situation now?"
"Not very good."
Chen Xuan said in a low voice: "It has been raining for seven days, and there is still no sign of stopping. Water has begun to accumulate in the river. As you can see, the ground is also muddy, and there is not even a place to stand."
"The water level over the new canal has already risen. The rapid water flow has the risk of flooding. Looking at the weather, I'm afraid it will rain even more."
Guan Ning looked around.
It is true that the rain here is heavier than that in Shangjing, and it can be considered a moderate rain.
"Damn it, there hasn't been such heavy rain in previous years, and there was a drought last year."
Chen Xuan couldn't help but frown and curse, he was really afraid of something.
"There is more and more water in our newly opened river channel, and it will be impossible to dry it if it continues like this. I was worried that there would be more rain, so I mobilized the workers to start work in the rain."
"you are right."
Guan Ning came here in person as well.
No one expected such a change in the sky, and all he could do was deal with it.
There is no way to start construction in the rain. Since the situation is unavoidable, it is better to dig it directly and really bring out the role of Xinggu Canal!
"How many more can be opened?"
"Almost five miles."
Five miles.
This distance is not long, but it greatly increases the difficulty of construction in such bad weather, and there are no conditions for blasting with gunpowder.
Only manpower can be used!
"Go and gather everyone here, I want to mobilize myself!"
Guan Ning ordered.
I'm afraid no one would be willing to work in this kind of weather. He had to personally mobilize and cheer up to open the river as soon as possible!
"yes!"
Chen Xuan immediately felt full of energy.
"Your Majesty is here."
"Your Majesty is here, come all over!"
After a while of shouting, the workers all gathered together.
They were all surprised.
I didn't expect His Majesty to actually come.
His trouser legs were as muddy as theirs, and he was walking on the ground without any scruples. This obviously did not fit in with their impression of the emperor.
Facing the workers, Guan Ning took off his bamboo hat and raincoat, letting more people see that he was indeed here!
"His Majesty!"
Zhao Nanxing and others did not expect Guan Ning to be like this.
"As you can see, we have a lot of rainy weather that could turn into a heavy rainstorm!"
Guan Ning spoke loudly, trying to be heard by as many people as possible.
"We are still at the last step before the Xinggu Canal is opened. I believe you already understand what you are facing now."
"If we stop at this time, the entire river will be silted up, and our previous efforts will be in vain!"
Guan Ning took a step forward and said loudly: "What's even more serious is that the water level of Qinghuan Lake in the upper reaches has risen sharply. The original Daxin Canal cannot bear it, and it will turn into a flood. Then the crops on the east bank will be submerged and destroyed!"
Hear this.
Everyone's expressions changed.
To the west of Daxin Canal is a large area of grain fields. If it is flooded, the losses will be immeasurable...
"So, we must get through the last section before the rain surges!"
Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "I know that construction in such bad weather will be quite difficult, but we must do it!"
"I hope everyone can stick to it, and during this period, I will always be here to stick with you!"
Guan Ning's words shocked everyone.
His Majesty actually said that he would stand firm with them?
For a moment, they felt excited. This was indeed the best motivation!
Building river channels is actually for them.
Because most of them are from nearby, the fields also belong to them.
"If you don't want to, you can quit. If you participate in job grabbing, you can get more subsidies."
Guan Ning released the conditions.
After all, conditions are difficult now.
"No, I don't need more money."
"I don't need it either."
"Yes, building river channels is also for us."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will work hard and dig the river channel!"
"We don't want money!"
There were shouts one after another.
People are mutually beneficial to each other. Your Majesty could have forced them to work, but instead gave them subsidies.
And he came even in the rain.
This is already incredible.
They felt incomprehensible and felt infinite power.
In fact, they are already very tired.
They had been working in the rain for two days before this, and both shoveling and transportation were extremely difficult.
My whole body was soaked.
They had actually accumulated emotions, but they were all gone at this moment...
"good!"
Guan Ning said loudly: "I will remember you and will be with you."
"start!"
He shouted.
"start!"
"start!"
Everyone shouted, ran to the construction site, picked up their shovels, and helped up the cart...
The intensity of his enthusiasm is indescribable.
The rain was still falling, giving off a cold feeling, but their hearts were warm.
The people are actually very simple.
As long as you treat them sincerely, they will give you more feedback.
Rain can't quench a fiery heart. Although they were in this environment, they didn't complain. Instead, they were more powerful than before and worked harder...
See this scene.
Zhao Nanxing and others were a little dull.
Then everyone laughed.
As long as people work together, nothing is impossible.
So what if it rains heavily?
What about natural disasters?
To be continued...
