Chapter 48 The Prophet
When Ye Xiaotian returned to the city, it was already very late, so he was delayed in the county government for a while, so when he returned home, the moon had already hung on the treetops.
The crescent moon hangs on the branches, and the branches sway gently in the wind, as if teasing the delicate crescent moon.
Zhao Wenyuan stood steadily under the tree with his hands on his back, and Crescent Yaer was carrying it on his right shoulder.
A figure suddenly appeared under the faint moonlight, and he sneaked around and quietly approached Zhao Wenyuan.
Zhao Wenyuan and the man walked closer and chuckled, "Boss Long?"
The visitor hid the knife behind his elbow, hugged Zhao Wenyuan and said in a rough voice: "We are the boss, don't have time to see you. If you have anything to say to me, I will report back to my elder brother truthfully."
Zhao Wenyuan smiled, his wrist trembled and a painting was lit up. It was not clear under the moonlight, but it could be seen that it was a portrait of a character.
Zhao Wenyuan said: "This portrait is a wanted document for the Guiyang Criminal Office three years ago. The person on it is from Long Dazhu, who looks exactly the same as you. Haha, is it that the twin brother of Long Dazhu?"
The person who came was teased by Zhao Wenyuan, and his beard became entangled. His big black face turned darker. It was probably because his face turned red, but because the night was too dark to see clearly.
Zhao Wenyuan tore the painting and graphics in three or two, threw it away, and said to the person who came: "Boss Long, please be content with your gratitude. I have to invite you to come here to discuss things. Don't worry, I am just a postmaster, and it's not my turn to do it if I want to arrest you."
The bearded laughed suddenly, then lowered his voice and said in an indifferent voice: "Mr. Long traverses a hundred thousand mountains, coming without a trace, and leaving without a trace. Who can do anything to me? Apart from 'buzzing', there is no one in Guizhou who can be seen by me, Long, especially your eagle claws! Tell me, what are you doing with Long?"
Zhao Wenyuan smiled and said, "I said I want to cooperate with you in a big deal."
The bearded man seemed to hear the funny thing, and couldn't help laughing and said, "The official and the bandit cooperated with each other to make a big deal? Hahahaha..., am I dreaming, aren't I?"
Zhao Wenyuan looked at him quietly until his laughter gradually stopped, and then said lightly: "Officials can be bandits or bandits, or they can be officials. Why can't they cooperate with bandits?"
The bearded man narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "What are you working with?"
Zhao Wenyuan said: "I am the postmaster. Whether it is official or private, I know everything about it. For example, what goods are transported on the car, how many protective personnel are there, what weapons are equipped, and when to pass through which section of the road. If these messages can let you know, how will you help you?"
The bearded man was moved and stared at Zhao Wenyuan tightly. After a while, he confirmed that he was not a joke. The bearded man hesitated and said, "You... will you inform me of these news?"
Zhao Wenyuan stretched out a hand and said, "Fifty percent! After you gain something, you will share half of it."
The bearded man grinned and said, "My man who is fighting to the death, will he share half of the money he has earned with hard work? You have such a big appetite."
Zhao Wenyuan said leisurely: "The business travelers walking on the post road are very cunning and difficult. Have you ever worked hard to step on the plate and ambush them all, but found that the car was full of cheap goods that were worthless. Even transporting it to the mountains was troublesome, so he could only abandon it in the local area and carry the body of his brothers and run away? Or, the car was really hard, but unfortunately, he had to make a big move, and he tried his best to lose many brothers, but he still couldn't succeed. In the end, he had to escape in panic?"
The bearded man remained silent.
Zhao Wenyuan said: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. What would you do if you had a official informed me?"
The bearded man gritted his teeth and said, "You officials are really crueler than us thieves! 20%! As long as you really cooperate, I will give you 20%!"
Zhao Wenyuan said: "40%! It can't be less. Do you think this official does not take risks?"
The bearded man said, "Thirty percent, not more than 10 percent! You just need to move your mouth, but I have to bleed and sweat. I have so many brothers to support, and I can't compare to you."
Zhao Wenyuan's purpose was not to share the benefits from the thief, but not bargaining would inevitably arouse his vigilance. Now he stopped when he saw the opportunity. Zhao Wenyuan smiled and said, "Finish! That's 30%. However, as the postmaster, I also have the responsibility to protect the road. You must be careful. If the postmaster sends postmasters to escort the caravans and hold the banner of this postmaster, you must not move!"
The bearded man happily said, "One word is certain!"
He could not have gone to the road to rob every day. Usually, he would have made a deal, and he would immediately escape into the mountains regardless of success or failure. He would wait for the wind to pass and then go back to the post road to continue his life. If the postmaster informed him, he could do the crime in a targeted manner, then what would it be if he let some convoys go?
The two of them had their own needs and they hit it off. After discussing the proper contact information, the bearded man said in confusion: "You are an official of the court, why do you do this?"
Zhao Wenyuan smiled and said, "What's the salary of the court enough? I have to find a way to get it back for the mission of this postmaster. I don't know how much money I spent. I always have to find a way to get it back, right?"
The bearded man narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Are you afraid of leaking the news, or if Long was caught accidentally, I'll give you a message?"
Zhao Wenyuan smiled sly and said, "This is the reason why I agreed with you, and I only send oral messages every time. If the thief has no real evidence and bites him casually, the official will be in trouble. The official in this world will be dead long ago!"
The bearded man looked up and down at Zhao Wenyuan and sighed: "My dear Mr. Long is just a thief, you officials are the thieves!"

Although Ye Xiaotian made sufficient inspections and plans in advance, he still made major adjustments based on the actual situation during actual operations.
They used gunpowder to blow up several huge gaps on the rock wall, cleaned up the mountain seedlings that were as quick as apes in the rock climbing, and dug out several huge bases for water trucks. At the same time, along several ridges, the troops from Gaoli Village began to clean and dig the waterways.
Except for the core part, all the materials used in the water truck can be used locally. Large wood is cut from the mountain to make it on site, which saves a lot of time. When the water truck is placed and wiping and running, the craftsmen have made adjustments based on the size of the water flow, and made several times more water trucks than the original plan. In the end, there are as many as sixteen water trucks that take water from the river, while the water trucks that adjust water to the cliffs are gradually decreasing. In order to ensure effective driving, the size of the water truck is also constantly reducing, and a layer is added to this.
A magnificent scene gradually appeared in the deserted Grand Canyon. A row of huge water wheels stood along the rolling river water, rotating like a windmill by the rapid flow of water. The river water was swept into the air by them and injected into a stone sink built up in the air.
The sink is inclined downwards dozens of feet apart on the cliff wall nearly eight meters high. In this artificial turbulent flow of dozens of feet long, there are water trucks slightly smaller than the bottom water truck, sending the water to a higher place like a relay. The wasted river water falls straight down from a high altitude, forming several artificial waterfalls.
Seeing that this method is really feasible, Gaojiazhai relaxed its control over the water of the Laodao River, and the tension between the two villages eased greatly, and he devoted all his efforts to excavate the ridge and river.
Since several parts are carried out at the same time and with sufficient manpower, manufacturing water trucks is not a difficult task. At the same time, in order to rescue the emergency, this batch of water trucks is not too concerned about the quality, and the entire water transport project is developing at a miraculous speed.
All the people on the entire construction site were struggling for several days, and they were all as savages, but they were full of energy when they saw success was about to come. Ye Xiaotian stood on a high place, happily looking at the high mountain canal that was about to be put into use, full of joy.
Ye Xiaotian said to Mao Wenzhixi: "Ha! It can be described as a miracle. I think as long as you maintain this speed, you can transport water tomorrow."
Mao Wenzhi held Ye Xiaotian's arm and said sadly: "Yes! Oh, let me rest for a while, my legs were sore."
Ye Xiaotian said: "You kid has done a lot of effort. Before others can call you tired, you will complain first."
Mao Wenzhi said, "No, brother, my legs are sore... I'm not tired. It's sore from the cracks of my bones. It will rain heavily tomorrow."
Ye Xiaotian was stunned: "It will rain heavily tomorrow?"
Ye Xiaotian looked up at the sky, and there was no cloud, so it was like it was going to rain.
Mao asked Zhi: "Ann! Haven't I told you that when I was a child, I was broken by Wang Laocai. Since then, it will be sour when it rains. The heavier the rain, the more sour it becomes. I am so sour now that I can't walk, and it will definitely rain heavily tomorrow!"
Ye Xiaotian was stunned when he heard this and said, "Although I also hoped that it would rain quickly, the water truck was about to be put into use, which I had worked hard to build. I really want to see the joyful scene when I led the water to Gaoli Village. When it rained, everyone would not be so happy."
Mao asked Zhian Zhi, "Even if this water truck is built, it will be used in the future. Besides, a rain cannot solve the problem. Unless it rains several times in a row, otherwise the ground will be wet after the rain, and the land will be so dry, what will it do?"
Ye Xiaotian patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "It's such a reason, it's just a little regretful. Forget it, no matter it, it's better to have rain than not. But if it rains tomorrow, it's not appropriate to continue construction in the rain. I'll inform you quickly and try to get through today. If it's really not done, we'll take a break tomorrow. We're so tired these days."
Ye Xiaotian took a few steps and suddenly stopped again. He suddenly remembered Xu Boyi. That guy was still "striking a hunger strike to pray for rain". If the rain really started to fall, even if it could not solve the drought problem, it would make Xu Boyi famous. Wouldn't it be as hard to defeat him again?
"It's just that a little punishment was made to him, but he made great reputation. Am I not tying myself?"
Thinking of Xu Boyi's shameless face at that time, Ye Xiaotian's eyes turned slightly...
