Hearing this, Wei Lan couldn't see any expression on her face, she still walked towards the dormitory leisurely, and said with a smile: "What's the matter with Xucheng Water Conservancy?"
"Xucheng is located on the left side of the river and has been disturbed by floods all the year round. Two years ago, the state allocated 100,000 silver to Xucheng to build an embankment for the construction of water conservancy. But at that time, Xucheng was in a drought. It has not been built yet. But this year, the weather is good, and in June, floods in Xucheng will come again, so the county magistrate only started to build water conservancy at the beginning of the year, but now the county magistrate is afraid that the dam built in three months will have an accident, so he spends a lot of money to attract foreign investment. I would like to give 40,000 taels of silver to outsource the construction of the embankment, and after bidding among all parties, a man named Wan Rong took the job.”
This was a sensational case in Xie Zichen's previous life, because in June of this year, Xuzhou suffered a once-in-a-century flood. The entire city of Xuzhou was flooded, and dozens of people in the city died. But in Jingzhou, there were people from the prince's direct lineage, and the emperor was furious, and eliminated many people from the prince's lineage, and was impeached by Zhang Yushi, which became the beginning of the prince's rejection.
Therefore, Xie Zichen had been eyeing Xuzhou for a long time, but unexpectedly discovered that Wei Shao actually participated in this matter. What's more interesting is that the matter of attracting investment in Xucheng had already been decided at the beginning of the year. Just a few days ago, this Wanrong actually rushed to Shengjing, and secretly contacted Wei Shao, and then sent Wei Shao Shao Jia is a shareholder.
Wan Rong traveled thousands of miles to find someone, he must have been instructed by someone, but if Wan Rong had something to do with people from Jingzhong, then what happened in Xu Cheng back then is quite intriguing.
Was it true that the dikes and dams were built in such a haste that they could not withstand the floods, or were they simply man-made and not planned to be repaired at all
After Xie Zichen briefly introduced Xu Cheng's situation, he raised some risks: "Not to mention that the dam built in three months is already very risky, not to mention that there are a group of people from the prince's direct line in Xu Cheng. In the Wanrong information handed over by the magistrate of the city and county, he saw that one of his shareholders was Lord Changxin, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried, so I wanted to raise a point or two."
Having said that, it is already very clear that the prince's direct line is there, if the third prince's people want to move, then the flood is not a possibility, but an inevitable occurrence. Even if there is no flood in the sky, the third prince will inevitably encourage people to investigate the construction of the dam. Once there is a problem with the construction of the dam, everyone from the construction team to the top and bottom officials must be involved. Among them, the construction team naturally bears the brunt. As one of the important shareholders of the construction team, Wei Shao does not like the emperor at all, and it is even more difficult to guarantee.
Wei Lan worked so hard to improve Changxinhou's mansion. Once this happened, not only would Wei Shao not be able to keep her, but her position in the emperor's heart would also be in jeopardy.
Wei Lan was transparent, and when Xie Zichen said this, how could she not understand what Xie Zichen meant, so she said courteously: "Just now, His Highness the Third Highness also talked about this."
This was a disguised confirmation of Xie Zichen's guess, and it was Xie Zichen's return gift for reminding her.
Xie Zichen nodded, and said slowly: "However, there is no rush. You can go out after taking a rest in the palace in three days."
"Yeah." Wei Lan nodded, feeling rather worried, playing with the fan, looking around with scattered eyes. After thinking for a while, Xie Zichen said: "Actually, you don't have to think too much. Now that we already know that Wanrong belongs to the third prince, we will naturally let the county magistrate replace him with someone else to build the dam. Your father's business is just a matter of course." It doesn't matter anymore."
However, Wei Lan and Xie Zichen paused as soon as the words came out. They looked at each other and immediately understood what the other meant.
Su Cheng dared to tell Wei Lan the news, which meant that he was not afraid of Wei Lan spreading the news.
If this matter could be resolved by changing Wan Rong, then Su Cheng would not tell Wei Lan at this time.
He told Wei Lan now that it only meant one thing.
That is, he will not wait until June, he will start immediately.
