The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 252

[Chapter 252: Doing Something Big]

“Ten years!?”

Now it was not only Xu Wenxuan, but even Song Zijie and Lin Kang who shouted out loud. They all looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.

Just a dam, can it withstand at least ten years of floods?

This sounds like a fantasy!

Even if it is implemented in accordance with the court’s regulations, additional silver will be allocated every year for construction, which is also a considerable expense for the court.

And if the drawings drawn by Lin Tian are repaired, they don’t have to worry about it for ten years.

This saves the court a huge amount of expenses!

“There was not much water in the north of the Yangtze River, and droughts are frequent in the north of the capital.”

Lin Tian smiled and shook his head, and took out the topographic map of the entire Chu.

He pointed to the mountain north of the Yangtze River. This is the dividing line between the north and south of the Yangtze River, and it is also a huge watershed.

From the north of this mountain, the climate gradually becomes dry, and the inland northwest region has not seen a drop of water for several months.

“Why are there so many floods? In recent years, there have been floods reported in Jiangbei almost every year.”

Xu Wenxuan frowned, but he didn’t pay much attention to these.

“I wonder if you have noticed that from this mountain to the south, there is no snow in that area, but to the north, it will snow.”

“This is the barrier effect of the mountain. It not only blocks the heat, but also blocks most of the moisture. Therefore, the rainfall is gradually decreasing from Jiangbei to the north.”

Lin Tian said very clearly.

Except for the coastal areas that are affected by the sea breeze and often rain, the inland areas are in a continental climate.

“Although there is a lot of water in Jiangbei, it is not to the point of flooding. The main reason is that the water is not used.”

“As the saying goes, drought kills drought, and floods kill floods. If the water in Jiangbei is diverted to the inland, wouldn’t it solve the water shortage problem in the inland?”

Lin Tian said while drawing two lines on the map with his hand.

One is the Beijiang River that originally swirled outside Ningjiang City, and the other is its branch.

That branch was cut off outside the capital. If possible, he could actually divert the river according to the terrain and divert the water to the inland areas.

This also refers to the modern method of transferring water from the south to the north.

However, this is a big project, and he can only talk about it now.

“This is a good idea!”

Xu Wenxuan was immediately excited when he heard it, and Song Zijie’s eyes lit up.

Following Lin Tian, they learned a lot of knowledge that they had never heard of in the first half of their lives.

“But this will cost a lot of manpower and material resources. It will definitely not be done without a few years, and it may even take more than ten years.”

But Lin Tian immediately crossed out the map.

“Now our top priority is to solve the flood problem here. Build this dam, and the excess rainwater in summer can be stored, and it will be released when it is dry in autumn and winter.”

Lin Tian said while drawing a groove on the drawing.

Then everyone joined in the discussion, and a drawing gradually had many more strokes.

“That’s roughly it.”

It was already early in the morning when the moon was at its zenith.

Lin Tian’s eyes were already bloodshot.

But he didn’t feel tired, because the people present were all smart, so in just half a night, the entire process and details of the dam construction were finalized.

“This is a perfect plan!”

Song Zijie exclaimed loudly.

He had never been so excited in the first half of his life. Before, he had been indulging in a life of luxury and had never done anything beneficial to the people.

Following Lin Tian, he was only to avenge the Song family.

But the longer the time, the more he could feel Lin Tian’s patriotism.

So gradually he began to care about the people and thought about doing something within his power for the people.

“Then I’ll trouble you with the next thing. Implement it strictly according to this plan. If there is not enough silver, let Lin Kang go to get it.”

Lin Tian made the final decision.

“What are you going to do, young master?”

However, Lin Kang heard the hidden meaning in Lin Tian’s words at the first time.

He handed all these tasks to them, so what was Lin Tian going to do?

“Of course I’m going to do something big! The governor has done so many things that harmed the people, he must pay a price!”

Lin Tian smiled, his face was unfathomable.

“Are you going to jailbreak?”

Xu Wenxuan did look disapproving.

He was familiar with Lin Tian and him. Although he didn’t hear the hidden meaning in Lin Tian’s words like Lin Kang did, he could guess what he was going to do from his summary.

“That’s probably what he meant.”

Lin Tian thought about it and felt that what Xu Wenxuan said was not unreasonable. What he was going to do seemed to be a prison break.

“This is not appropriate. The most reasonable outcome is to kill all nine clans. Do you know that if you are discovered, you will also be killed, and even the entire Lin family will be dragged into the water!”

Xu Wenxuan frowned.

When Lin Tian saw his appearance, he knew that he must have thought too much.

“Do you really think that this big game is all handled by the governor alone?”

Lin Tian smiled and reminded them.

From the black shop they encountered on the way here, plus the governor’s disappearance for no reason for a few days, and the letters in his secret passage.

All these things show that this is not a simple corruption case!

It’s a pity that they didn’t catch any handle on the governor, and all the evidence in their hands could only make him surrender, but couldn’t catch the real black hand behind him.

“You mean… there is someone else behind the black hand?”

Xu Wenxuan narrowed his eyes. After being reminded by Lin Tian, he also keenly smelled the unusualness.

He has been accepting bribes for many years and hiding the silver distributed by the court. If no one helps him to launder such a huge amount of money, he will definitely not be able to do it alone.

And can a mere governor of Ningjiang City be so bold?

Who has been protecting him secretly for so many years?

These mysteries emerged in Xu Wenxuan’s mind, and he didn’t even notice it before!

“So even if I don’t go, there will definitely be someone else who will break into the prison.”

Lin Tian said.

It’s just a mantis stalking a cicada, while the oriole is behind.

They are the mantis, and the oriole has already been eyeing them in the dark!

“So you are going to play a trick of cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron!”

Xu Wenxuan clapped his hands, a little excited.

It depends on which side moves faster. If Lin Tian goes a step later, the governor may have been rescued.

“It seems that you are not stupid.”
