"Master Xu is absolutely right. We will remember Shuohou and Princess Qingcheng's kindness to us." Someone in the crowd said at this time.
Xu Qing couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and then said, "Of course, we also want to thank one person, that is Master Liang Cheng. He lived here when the dam was built and always paid attention to it. The situation continued like this until the dam was completed. Senior Liang Cheng is the person we should be most grateful to."
"Where is Master Liang? Where is he now? Why didn't you see him?" Someone asked at this time.
After this person mentioned it, Xu Qing couldn't help but frown slightly, as if he really hadn't seen Liang Cheng, and then Xu Qing looked to the side.
Liang Cheng was seen standing on a slope opposite, looking towards here.
Seeing this, Xu Qing called Li Ming over.
"Sir, what's the matter?" Li Ming said to him with his hands raised.
Xu Qing then said to Li Ming, "Go and invite Senior Liang over."
As he spoke, Xu Qing looked in the direction where Liang Cheng was standing.
"Yes, sir," Li Ming responded with his hands raised and ran towards Liang Cheng.
After Li Ming left, Xu Qing smiled and said to everyone, "Don't be anxious, everyone. Wait a moment. I have asked Li Ming to go and ask Senior Liang to come over."
At this time, Liang Cheng stood on the mound, looking at the excitement on the faces of the people who came, Liang Cheng couldn't help but smile.
After more than a month, the dam was finally built, and a problem that had been on his mind for many years was settled. Now even if he lets go and goes west, he will have no regrets.
Thinking like this, Liang Cheng turned around and walked towards where he lived.
When Li Ming saw Liang Cheng walking away, he shouted loudly, "Senior Liang, Senior Liang, wait a minute, wait a minute."
Liang Chenggang had not taken a few steps when he heard someone calling him from behind. He could not help but frown slightly, stopped, then turned around, looked at Li Ming and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Ming ran up to Liang Cheng, then cupped his hands and said, "Senior Liang."
"What's wrong? What's wrong with the dam?" Liang Cheng couldn't help but ask Li Ming with a questioning look on his face.
After hearing this, Li Ming smiled and shook his head at Liang Cheng, "Senior Liang is worrying too much. My lord, please ask Senior Liang to come over."
"Master Xu asked me to come over, but what's the important matter?" Liang Cheng then asked again.
Li Ming smiled and said, "Senior Liang, after the villagers saw the repaired dam, they were very happy and said they wanted to thank Senior Liang in person."
"There is no need for these false etiquettes. This is what an old man should do." After hearing this, Liang Cheng waved his hand to Li Ming, and then prepared to turn around and leave.
Upon seeing this, Li Ming hurried forward, took Liang Cheng's arm and said, "Senior Liang, just go over, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Master Xu and the people."
With that said, he pulled Liang Cheng towards the crowd.
Liang Cheng, a thin old man, must be no match for the physical strength of young Li Ming. He then said helplessly, "Li Ming, let me go. I won't go, I won't go."
"Senior Liang, aren't you making things difficult for me? The folks are waiting for you below." Li Ming pulled Liang Cheng and said.
What Liang Cheng fears most is dealing with people, and there are so many people.
However, Liang Cheng had no choice at this moment. He had been dragged to the back of the crowd by Li Ming, and then Li Ming shouted loudly, "Everyone, make way, make way, Senior Liang is here."
After hearing Li Ming's voice, the people turned around one after another. When they saw Liang Cheng, the crowd in front of Liang Cheng made a way out.
Then everyone in the crowd looked at Liang Cheng and shouted.
"Senior Liang."
"Senior Liang."
Liang Cheng adjusted his clothes slightly at this time, and then nodded to everyone with an unnatural smile.
Li Ming looked at Liang Cheng with a smile, then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Senior Liang, let's go over."
Liang Cheng rolled his eyes at Li Ming before walking forward.
Xu Qing then stepped forward to greet him, cupping his hands and saying, "Senior Liang, you are here."
"Yeah." Liang Cheng nodded to Xu Qing.
Then Xu Qing said to the people in front of him, "Everyone, be quiet."
Immediately, the crowd stopped talking and looked here.
Xu Qing said with a smile, "Senior Liang supervised the work day and night, so this dam could be built so quickly. With the dam designed by Senior Liang, everyone will not have to worry in the drought and flood seasons in the future. We all thank Liang together." senior."
As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, an old man standing in front walked forward, looked at Liang Cheng and said, "Senior Liang, with the dam you built, everyone can live a good life in the future. Those dams built by the government before, To be honest, when the drought and flood seasons come every year, everyone doesn’t say anything about it, but no one is worried about it in their hearts. After the incident comes out, it will be us ordinary people who will suffer."
As he spoke, the old man's eyes were filled with tears, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the lapel of his clothes, and then said, "Now that Senior Liang has built the dam, no one will have to worry about it in the future. Thank you very much, Senior Liang."
After saying that, the old man knelt down to Liang Cheng.
Immediately, the people behind him also knelt down and said, "Thank you, Senior Liang."
When Liang Cheng saw this, he couldn't help but panic and quickly bent down to help the old man who was kneeling on the ground, and then said, "What are you doing? Get up quickly, get up quickly."
With that said, Liang Cheng helped the old man up, then walked forward and said to the people who were kneeling in front of him, "Get up quickly, get up quickly."
The person who was kneeling stood up.
Xu Qing walked up to Liang Cheng with a smile and said, "Senior Liang, I want to say a few words to everyone now."
"Sir Xu, if you speak, I will..." Liang Cheng was about to refuse.
At this time, Xu Qing said to the crowd, "Everyone, be quiet. Next, let Senior Liang say a few words for everyone."
"Master Xu, this..." Liang Cheng looked at Xu Qing and said again.
Xu Qing interrupted with a smile, "Senior Liang, please stop being modest and say a few words to everyone."
With that said, Xu Qing stepped back.
At this time, the people all looked at Liang Cheng, who stood there not knowing what to say.
At this time, Li Ming, who was standing behind Liang Cheng, reminded in a low voice, "Senior Liang, you can tell everyone about the purpose of the dam."
Liang Cheng nodded slightly after hearing this. He wouldn't say anything else, but if he was asked to tell you the purpose of the dam, he could naturally tell it.
Then Liang Cheng cleared his throat and said, "Well, today I will tell you about the purpose of this dam."
"Okay." As soon as Liang Cheng finished speaking, the people below smiled and clapped their hands.
Then Liang Cheng said, "Today the dam is completed. This is not due to me alone, but also to everyone's help. Ah... Well, the dam built now is a little different from the past. Next, I will briefly talk about this with you. Dam function.”
"Senior Liang, just say it, and we will all listen." This is what the old man said while looking at Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng nodded, then pointed to the drainage hole in the middle of the dam, "The water tapping holes in the middle are several more than the drainage holes in the previous dam, but you don't have to worry about the load-bearing problem of the dam. There are more drainage holes in the middle. The materials presented above are provided, and there are more channels on the side than in previous years, so that during the dry season, everyone can open the gates and release water to irrigate the farmland.”
"Senior Liang is thoughtful."
“This way we won’t have to walk far to haul water in the future.”
Liang Cheng then said, "The triangular design of the entire dam will reduce the load-bearing problem of the dam, which can extend the service life of the dam. I can't guarantee anything else, but there will be absolutely no problem with this dam being used for twenty years. "
"Twenty years?"
After hearing this, everyone said with surprise. You must know that they are renovating the dam almost every year. After a dam is built, it can be used for two years. When they heard the two words from Liang Cheng, Ten years later, I couldn’t help but look in disbelief.
Liang Cheng nodded to everyone at this time, "Yes, in twenty years, as long as everyone repairs it every year, the problem will not be too big."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. They must know that this dam can be used for twenty years. They will suffer less and suffer less, and they will not lose their loved ones and become homeless after every flood.
Thinking of this, the old man in front couldn't help but knelt down again, and couldn't help crying loudly, "Senior Liang, you are the great benefactor of our people who built the capital. As for the benefactor, those dog officials embezzle the money for the construction of the dam every year. , the dam was repaired every year, and the embankment burst every year, but now it’s better, we can live peacefully for a few years.”
With that said, the old man kowtowed to Liang Cheng again.
When the people behind saw this, they couldn't help but kneel down again. Everyone present had experienced the cruelty of floods.
When Liang Cheng saw everyone kneeling down again, he couldn't help but frowned, but he could understand everyone's mood. In the face of natural disasters, ordinary people are always weak and helpless.
Then Liang Cheng turned around and looked at Xu Qing, "Master Xu, this..."
Xu Qing stepped forward and said to the crowd, "Everyone, get up. I know the pain in everyone's hearts. Now that the dam has been built, there will be no natural disasters, and everyone will be able to live a good life in the future."
After Xu Qing said this, everyone stood up one after another.
The old man standing in front wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, then walked forward and held Xu Qing's hand and said, "Yes, with Mr. Xu as our official, our lives will definitely be better in the future."
"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely not let you down." Xu Qing nodded after hearing this.
After everyone stood up, Xu Qing asked, "The weather is going to change soon. Are the potatoes growing in the fields growing well?"
"Sir Xu, the potatoes in the field are almost grown, and our old lady has already started to dig them up and eat them."
The old man smiled and said to Xu Qing.
"Oh, they have already started eating." Xu Qing couldn't help but ask quickly after hearing this.
Previously, he heard Mr. Run say that potatoes mature very quickly, but he didn't expect them to mature faster than he thought. Only a month had passed and they were already ready to eat.
