Chapter 212 Overthrow Plan
Chapter 212 Overthrow Plan
After Wang Lang introduced Wu Fang, Xie Tingwen also walked over slowly. Seeing Wu Yang's complaining look, Wu Fang shrank her head and quickly hid behind Wang Lang.
Seeing this, Xie Shuting knew that Wang Lang was probably born in Shanghe Township, otherwise he would not have worked so hard for Shanghe Township and wanted to change its plight.
"My daughter greets my father." Xie Shuting bowed.
"Greetings, Mr. Xie." Wang Lang and Zhu Gui bowed at the same time.
"Yeah!~"
Xie Tingwen nodded, then glanced at Xie Shuting. He frowned when he saw her outfit today, but when he thought about the difficulty of the mountain path, he felt relieved.
"Why don't you go to the headman's house and meet your father first?" Xie Tingwen said softly.
"Father! I originally wanted to go to the headman's house first, but when I thought of what you told me, I asked Uncle Qin to bring me over first." Xie Shuting replied softly.
"I see."
Xie Tingwen nodded slightly, then turned to look at Wang Lang and Zhu Guiwei and said, "I'll have to trouble you two to take care of the next things."
"I dare not do that. I will obey your orders, sir." Zhu Gui said hurriedly.
"I will also follow your orders, sir." Wang Lang echoed.
"Yeah!~"
Xie Tingwen nodded, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and then he took a step forward and looked at Honghe and said, "Shu Ting! Do you have a solution?"
"Is that what father thinks?" Xie Shuting asked softly.
"Father..."
Xie Tingwen was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wu Yang behind him and chuckled, "Wu Lizheng! Tell Shu Ting about the current situation and what you think."
"Yes yes yes!~"
Wu Yang responded with a smile, and quickly stepped forward and pointed to the waterway at the foot of the mountain: "Miss Xie! I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that the water can be diverted up the mountain, and also that a dam can be built at that location."
Following Wu Yang's instructions, Xie Shuting looked at the tidal flat not far away, nodded and said, "Wu Lizheng has chosen a good place."
"This place was not chosen by me, but by Chief Wang." Wu Yang responded with a smile.
Seeing this, Wang Lang couldn't hide it, so he took a step forward, stroked his hand and said, "Miss! My hometown is Shanghe Township."
"I see."
Xie Shuting nodded, and with a smile, she stretched out her hand and asked, "Master Wang! Can you show me the blueprint?"
"Drawings?" Everyone frowned and looked at Wang Lang in confusion.
Seeing this, Wang Lang no longer concealed it. He took out the blueprint from his arms and handed it to Xie Shuting, saying, "Miss! How did you know that I had the blueprint?"
"You are from Shanghe Township, so you must have some attachment to the incense, otherwise you wouldn't have been so impatient to leave the county government office this morning."
As Xie Shuting spoke, she spread out the blueprint and looked at the direction of the mountain in front of her again and again, and then compared it with the mudflats recorded in the blueprint, so that she had a general understanding of the surrounding geography.
"How is it? Is there any solution?" Xie Tingwen asked softly.
Xie Shuting did not respond. She looked at the blueprint and compared it with the surrounding environment. She pointed to the flood discharge outlet not far away and said, "Father! Does that area belong to Laigu County?"
Sun Cheng followed Xie Shuting's gaze and thought for a moment before saying, "My lady, my lord! According to the county annals, the area below that mountain is under the jurisdiction of Laigu County."
"Yeah!~"
Xie Shuting nodded and said, "Then it's okay."
"Do you have an idea?" Xie Tingwen said with joy.
"We have some clues now. Let's go back and discuss the details. This will cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, and it will be a great contribution to the world, so we can't be careless."
When everyone heard the words "contribution to saving the world", their hearts trembled suddenly. The meaning of these four words cannot be summarized in one sentence, and even Wang Lang was quite surprised.
The dam construction plan recorded in his blueprint would only be useful for a few decades, but Xie Shuting's words revealed that her plan could ensure the prosperity of Shanghe Township for a hundred years.
Little did she know! Xie Shuting's plan was not just to last a hundred years, but as long as the Red River did not dry up, her project would not fail.
Seeing that Xie Shuting had a plan, Xie Tingwen waved his hand and said loudly: "In this case, let's go back and study it carefully."
When the group returned to the foot of the mountain, Wu Lizheng had already informed his family and prepared tea for them.
Several people came to the courtyard. Xie Shuting did not delay and asked people to clean the table and then spread Wang Lang's drawings on the table.
"Xi'er! Grind the ink."
"Yes!~" He responded quickly, took out the inkstone and started grinding ink.
After the ink became thick, Xie Shuting took the brush and started writing and drawing on Wang Lang's drawing, recording the mountains and rivers around Shanghe Township in detail.
Wu Fang, who was standing by, was shocked to see Xie Shuting's skill, but she also became interested in Xie Shuting, and there was a hint of enthusiasm in her eyes.
When Xie Shuting finished her final stroke, the original drawing suddenly became a geographical map.
The map describes the mountains and landforms of Shanghe Township in more detail, without missing a single thing.
"this......"
Wu Yang was so shocked that he was speechless. After a moment, he couldn't help but praise: "Miss Xie is really a brilliant writer. I didn't expect that she has such ability."
"Wu Lizheng is too kind. I just read too much."
Xie Shuting pointed at the map with a smile and said, "Master Wang! According to what you said, you are planning to build a dam in a certain place?"
"good."
Wang Lang nodded and pointed at the map and said, "Miss! There are two mountains and a corner here. If we build a dam here, 80,000 strings of cash will be enough."
"Yeah!~"
Xie Shuting nodded slightly, and did not refute Wang Lang's words. Instead, she looked at Zhu Gui and said, "Master Zhu! If you build the dam again, how much money will it cost?"
Zhu Gui looked at the blueprint but did not respond immediately. He pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "If I were to build it, it would cost me 30,000 strings of cash."
"Thirty thousand strings?"
Wang Lang was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly a trace of anger appeared on his face. He said, "Master Zhu! This is building a dam, not a child's game. What's the use of building it with 30,000 strings of cash? Can it stop the flood?"
There was no reason why Wang Lang was so angry. The construction of the dam was related to people's livelihood. If it was not checked, the people downstream would suffer a devastating disaster.
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Xie Shuting waved her hands and said, "Master Wang! Don't get angry first. Listen to what Master Zhu has to say first."
Xie Shuting said this, pointing to the map and said, "Master Zhu! Are you interested in this place too?"
Zhu Gui chuckled and nodded, "Young lady, you are very wise! But I am not as good as you."
Seeing the two of them start to play dumb, Xie Tingwen frowned and said, "Shu Ting! What are you talking about? What's going on?"
Xie Shuting smiled and looked at Zhu Gui and said, "Please ask Master Zhu to answer everyone's questions!"
Zhu Gui knew that Xie Shuting was intentionally raising his status, so he nodded gratefully and drew a circle on the map.
Unexpectedly! Zhu Gui's simple move stunned everyone present, and for a moment they did not understand Zhu Gui's intention.
