Chapter 617 Debris Flow
Looking at the crying old women and the sheep corpses on the ground, Ying Yu asked in puzzlement.
The old woman raised her head and glanced at Ying Yu. Although she didn't know Ying Yu's identity, she could tell from his clothes that he was not an ordinary person, so she shook her head and said sadly:
"My lord, judging by your clothes, you must be noble people from Xianyang City, right?"
"The two of you don't know that our village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It used to be very closed and backward, but now with the opening of our Daqin Railway and the construction of roads, our village has gradually connected with the outside world and has trade exchanges with the outside world. .”
"Many farmers in the village rely on grazing for their livelihood, but the heavy rain some time ago caused the soil on the mountains around the village to keep rolling down, and the flood caused by the heavy rain caused many cracks and mud flows in the mountains. "
"It was precisely because of the formation of the mud flow that the fierce beasts that originally lived deep in the mountains appeared near our village, which killed these sheep."
"Moreover, the formation of the mud flow also destroyed many farmlands around the village. Coupled with the infestation of beasts, the villagers were unable to go up the mountain to cut firewood!"
Another villager came to Ying Yu, looked at the dead sheep on the ground, shook his head and said helplessly.
"Since a natural disaster has occurred and the villagers can't solve it, didn't you inform the government?"
Ying Yu frowned slightly, and said lightly.
"We have already informed the government, but the mudslide disaster is serious. Although the people from the government tried their best to help us, they couldn't clear all the mudslide near the village in a short time."
"Moreover, the people in the government have nothing to do with the beasts in the mountains."
After hearing Ying Yu's words, the old lady spoke again.
"I see."
"How about this, your old man finds someone to call the people from the government, and I have a way to solve the current predicament of your village."
Ying Yu smiled lightly.
"Really, if that's the case, that would be great!"
"It just so happens that the people from the government are chasing wild beasts for us in the mountains, and they must be back soon."
"..."
Hearing that Ying Yu had a way to help them solve their problem, the faces of the surrounding villagers immediately showed joy.
Although they don't know Ying Yu's identity yet, in the eyes of these villagers, Ying Yu is dressed in bright clothes and looks like a son of a wealthy and powerful family. Maybe this little gentleman in front of him can really solve the problem for them. The current predicament is also uncertain.
After half an hour.
I saw a group of people in official uniforms coming to the village. Looking at the dirt on their bodies, it was obvious that they were the people from the government that the villagers just said went up the mountain to drive away the beasts.
"Villagers, the ferocious beast has been driven away. It is estimated that it will not appear near the village again in a while."
"It's just that there is too much silt near the village, and it will take a long time to clear it all."
After returning to the village, the leading county government official looked at the villagers and sighed helplessly.
"Thank you sir!"
"By the way, my lord, that young master wants to see you, and he said that there is a way to solve the mudslide problem."
At this time, the old man who had talked with Ying Yu earlier walked up to the county government official, pointed at Ying Yu and said.
When the county government official heard the words, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he looked in the direction of the old woman's finger: "This..."
"It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came in person, and the lower official's eyesight failed to recognize His Royal Highness, and I hope that His Royal Highness will forgive me!"
When the county government official saw Ying Yu's face clearly, he was startled for an instant, and then quickly saluted Ying Yu, saying respectfully.
As a county magistrate around Xianyang, he naturally knew Ying Yu.
Hearing the words of the officials of the county government, all the people present were shocked. They never expected that His Royal Highness, the current Crown Prince, would appear in front of them.
After the shock, everyone quickly saluted Ying Yu.
At this moment, both the villagers and the county government officials all had expressions of excitement on their faces.
Ying Yu is now a household name in the entire Qin Dynasty, and is deeply loved by the people.
Whether it is officials or common people, in their eyes, Ying Yu is a god-man. With Ying Yu present, the mudslide problem in the village can be completely solved. As long as the mudslide problem is solved, they can restore the original To live, I can continue to go up the mountain to cut firewood and hunt.
"You don't need to be more polite."
"Right now, the most important thing is to solve the problem of mudslides near the village and let the villagers return to normal life."
Ying Yu waved his hand and said calmly.
"His Royal Highness, this village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. There was too much mud and rock washed down by the heavy rain a few days ago. If you want to clean it up in a short time, I'm afraid it will take a lot of labor."
"Besides, when I went up the mountain to drive away the beasts, I carefully observed that the soil on this mountain is very soft. If there is continuous heavy rain, I'm afraid there will be mud and rocks falling down."
The county government official came to Ying Yu's side and said helplessly.
Simply cleaning up the silt near the village is obviously a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.
"The soil is soft, which is caused by soil erosion. It can be solved by planting more trees on the mountain."
"As for the problem of cleaning up the mud flow, there is no need to recruit labor, so you can send someone to pass a message to Xiao He, asking him to come with a steam excavator."
"No, the officer will send someone to pass the message!"
Hearing Ying Yu's words, the county government official quickly responded, and after a few instructions to the people around him, he asked in doubt:
"His Royal Highness, what is the steam excavator you mentioned just now? Could it be your latest invention?"
As he spoke, the county government official had a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Now in the Great Qin, everyone knows that as long as His Highness the Crown Prince invents something, it is a magical tool that benefits the country and the people.
As for the term steam excavator, county officials have never heard of it, apparently it is the latest invention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Ying Yu naturally noticed the change in the expression of the county government officials.
"It is indeed the latest sharp weapon invented by the crown prince. You will know the specific function later."
After the words fell, Ying Yu ignored the agitated county government officials, but softly said to Sophie beside her:
"It seems that the game is not enough, let's wait here."
"When the matter here is finished, it's time to go back."
Sophie nodded slightly when she heard the words: "Okay, just follow what His Highness said."
"It was supposed to accompany you out to play, but it turned out..."
Looking at Sophie, Ying Yu's face was slightly apologetic.
"Your Highness, there is no need to say more."
"His Royal Highness can accompany Sophie, Sophie is satisfied."
"Besides, His Royal Highness, as the Prince of Great Qin, cares about the common people. It is a good thing to solve the people's worries and problems. Sophie is happy for His Highness in her heart."
"If it weren't for Sophie's limited ability, she would definitely assist His Highness with all her heart and share her worries."
Before Ying Yu finished speaking, Sophie shook her head, looked at Ying Yu affectionately and said.
Ying Yu nodded slightly at this, and didn't say anything more.
