The horsemen were eager to flatter Guo Lin, and it was inconvenient to leave the embankment during the work.
They were afraid of giving the impression of neglecting their duties to the imperial envoy.
Therefore, when they proposed to Guo Lin to let them sit on the boat, they had already given it to the servants.
With a wink, the boy had already cleverly gone to make arrangements.
So when Guo Lin and Chun Yu passed by, there were already two maids and two boys waiting there on the shore.
When they saw a few people coming, they hurriedly saluted and welcomed them to get on the boat.
Only then did Chunyu realize that the small boat that the man was talking about was actually a very gorgeous boat.
Although it was not very big, it was still impressive enough.
It seemed that the gentry and local tyrants from ancient times were indeed very wealthy.
After the two of them got on the deck of the boat and sat down in front of the mahogany tables and chairs, the two maids came to serve tea and snacks, and then quietly retreated below the deck.
Yun'er, on the other hand, told Chunyu, then took the food box and went to look for her brothers.
At this time, Chun Yu and Guo Lin were the only two people left on the boat.
Chun Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Brother Lin Zi, I don't know whether to say something or not, and I don't know if it is right to say it."
"Whether you have something to say or not, whether it's right or wrong, just tell me and listen."
Guo Lin smiled and added tea for the two of them, and carefully gave Chun Yu a few cashew nuts and put them on the small plate in front of her. , and then said.
"I heard Sister-in-law Alan say that the winter rainy season is coming soon, and it will rain non-stop.
How could you choose this time to dig rivers and mend the dams?"
Chunyu said, then thought about it carefully, and then Asked: "And you just said that the method of crossing over is very convenient and simple, but if it rains, you still won't be able to do it?"
"I didn't expect this."
Guo Lin was stunned, and then said with a smile: "I just thought that there was no good way to solve it, so I came up with a last resort.
After you said so, it is true." "" Chunyu was stunned when she saw him, and she really thought that he hadn't thought of this.
But later when she saw him smiling, and there was no trace of nervousness in his expression, she knew that he had his own countermeasures.
He was so smart, how could he not think of the problems that she could think of?
Perhaps he was stunned because he thought that she would think of these problems.
Sure enough, before Chunyu asked, Guo Lin had already answered: "The previous magistrate of Qiantang County was not involved in construction.
He did not write a letter to repair the dam for three years in office, so the emperor and the court did not know the situation here.
Should it be repaired?
It wasn't until May this year that a small flood occurred here, and he became a little anxious and asked for permission.
The imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief and for repairing dams.
However, after the funds were allocated, he was audacious and embezzled a lot.
Later, he was dismissed from office and waited for the current magistrate to take office.
He missed the most suitable time to repair dams.
In July and August, after the government allocated funds and approved it, and then sent me here, it has already been a long time. " "Then, wouldn't it be troublesome and the task assigned to you is too difficult?"
Chunyu couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't have to endure hardships to become a better person.
I also think this time may be an opportunity for me."
When Guo Lin said this, his voice became softer, so that Chunyu didn't hear clearly what he said next.
She actually knew that, although Guo Lin was smart, he probably didn't know much about things like clearing the river of mud.
It seemed that no one except the river workers would know much about it.
With the development of science and technology in later generations, some high-energy mechanical equipment can be used to directly blow the silt deposited on the bottom of the river into turbid water, and then flow with the river to dredge it, which is very convenient and direct.
But in this backward ancient times, everything relied on people's hands, and the tools were still only small iron bars.
However, when he thought of this, a spark suddenly popped up in Chunyu's mind, like a tool of inspiration.
The right tool, the tool, wouldn't it be much more convenient if the tool could be changed.
Thinking of these spring rains, she remembered that the shovels or shovels here seemed to be semi-flat, not the kind she had seen in later generations.
She couldn't name it, but she knew the shape.

So Chun Yu pondered for a while, and then said to Guo Lin: "Brother Lin Zi, you said you can help me find a way, but I can't help.
After all, I don't know anything.
It's just that I seem to have seen it before, but I can't remember where I saw it."
Yes, there is a kind of shovel, which is somewhat oval in shape.
Just give it to me.
The tomb-robbing Luoyang shovel is somewhat similar, but the shovel pocket is wider, and there is a pocket at the back.
You can dig out the mud and fill it up before dumping it, instead of digging it all at once.
And because there is water in the river. , you can also make a colander shape at the bottom of the bag, which will only leak water, but not the silt.”
Chunyu said, but he became more and more confused and didn't know how to explain it, so he had to say: "Anyway, that's the general case.
If you think about it carefully, I don't understand it either."
Without saying a word, Guo Lin stood up excitedly and grabbed his hand, saying: "Chun Yu, you have done me a big favor, not all the people in Qiantang.
Once this tool is invented , I think it will definitely cause a sensation."
"Brother Lin Zi, I hope you won't say it was me who provided it.
I don't want others to know."
Chun Yu said embarrassedly, wanting to pull away the hand that was clutched in Guo Lin's palm, but the other party was too excited and did not let go. open.
"Okay, don't worry, I won't tell you."
Only then did Guo Lin realize that he was a little excited, and he even grabbed Chun Yu's hand beyond the rules.
Although he was reluctant to let go, he quickly let go.
He said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I just got carried away with excitement."
After hearing this, Chunyu shook her head, smiled and said it was okay.
Despite these episodes, Guo Lin still did not go back home to get busy.
Instead, he stayed with Chun Yu and watched the scenery here for a long time, although it was not worth seeing.
After Yun'er came back, the three of them went back to Chunyu's residence.
Chunyu also took out a pen and paper and carefully drew the appearance of the tool in his mind, and gave it to Guo Lin, asking Guo Lin to go to the blacksmith shop to see if he could make the tool.
If there was such a sharp weapon, It can be considered as being able to do twice the result with half the effort.
After getting the drawing paper and listening to Chun Yu describe it to him again, Guo Lin said goodbye to Chun Yu and left Chun Yu's house happily.
To be continued.
