Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Chapter 206 What bad ideas do you have?

By then, everything would be fine, but he wasted a lot of money and effort. He would submit a petition and they would cooperate. As for the repair funds...

There are people in the court who are covering for him, and he can find a scapegoat. At worst, he will have to hand over the silver. As long as he is fine, the silver will be returned sooner or later.

"Our reservoir has the largest reserve in the country, and it's almost dry now. The rainy season is still about a month away."

Lord Li explained with great confidence that he knew people in the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Works.

"We should be worrying about how to limit water use, not about dam breaches."

After hearing this, everyone calmed down and thought that following Lord Li would be absolutely safe.

"Thank you for your help, sir. What about the head of the Ministry of Works?"

"Send someone to watch him." Lord Li's eyes were cold. "And our Lord Lu, even though we didn't bring him down this time, we still have to keep an eye on him."

After all, when it comes to official positions, Lu Yanlin is still superior to them.

Mu Lanxun looked up at the scorching sun and was in a trance for a moment.

As everyone worked under the scorching sun, water consumption once again reached a peak.

"Sir, the Water Department's Doctor Li has led a group of officials to protest our waste of water resources and has reported it to the prefect."

The soldier wiped the sweat off his head and face. The workers digging the canal didn't know why they were digging, they just worked hard every day for the wages.

It seems that if Lord Li and the others can't stop it, they will probably start to exaggerate. Then...

He pondered, "The wages will be doubled, but no one will be allowed to go home. Those who don't want to continue working will be paid and leave immediately."

"Also, tell the reinforcement workers to finish the work within ten days and double their wages. No! Triple them!"

Anyway, it was all the funds from the previous reservoir, so it was appropriate to use them.

However, he had to make those people spit out some more.

That night, the prefect went to visit Mr. Li, the doctor of the Water Department, and complained a lot, his expression and words showing his disgust towards Mu Lanxun.

"He's just a brat! He doesn't understand anything, doesn't listen to anything, and insists on doing all sorts of inexplicable things!"

"Lord Li, why don't you go and persuade him tomorrow? He keeps the emperor's orders on his chest all day long, and he won't listen to a word I say!"

Lu Yanlin had a bitter face and kept sighing and muttering for almost an incense stick of time, and he turned Mu Lanxun into a boy who was ambitious and eager for quick success.

Mu Lanxun looked at the prefect with amusement as he drank four cups of tea in one breath. He was not in a hurry to ask questions, but was concentrating on looking at the distribution map in his hand.

The six channels are almost completed, and the final opening of the sluice gates to release water is the most difficult part. The people in the city know that it has not rained for several months, and some surrounding towns have already shown signs of drought.

Due to the scale of spring irrigation, Bianlu City always has some water reserves, but the supply is relatively tight. No one is willing to give their water to others, so in order to empty the water stored in the spring irrigation, they have to open the gates privately.

Xier's predictions have never been inaccurate, he must protect Bianlu City!

"Sir, Lord Li reluctantly gave two boxes of silver, saying that he would fully support the people sent by His Majesty."

Lu Yanlin took a deep breath and started chattering again, repeating the performance he had worked hard for the whole night.

Mu Lanxun sneered in his heart. Lord Li was trying to add fuel to the fire and put himself on the pillar of shame. The more money and trouble he caused, the greater his guilt would be in the future.

He was really willing to give it up! He took part of the renovation money he had swallowed, and now he has spit out part of it. I guess he hates me to the core!

He sneered and turned to look at Lu Yanlin, "Don't worry, Master Lu, just put everything on me."

"Sir, are you sure this is okay?" After talking all night, the prefect's voice was a little hoarse.

"Maybe, I need your cooperation." Mu Lanxun raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

The prefect, who had worked hard all night, felt his brows jump and couldn't help but take two steps back.

What bad idea does this guy have?
