Chapter 66: Diversion Canal
Gu Changfeng stood on the high slope and scanned the surroundings with his sharp eagle eyes. Zheng Maoshan stood beside him and accompanied him. He didn't understand what this young factory director was going to do.
He suddenly came to check the growth of beets, so he had to accompany him. He was a superior anyway, but he felt uncomfortable being told what to do by a young man.
"Captain Zheng, how can you let the land dry up when you are guarding a river?"
Gu Changfeng had a plan in mind after looking around. He looked at Zheng Maoshan beside him with his eagle eyes and spoke seriously.
"I said, send young men to water every day, look at those people."
Zheng Maoshan pointed at the water-carrying members led by Zheng Chengbao not far away with a dark face. He came at the right time to shut up the young factory director.
"I mean, we can divert the water from the canal. In this way, how much water can people carry without eating, drinking or sleeping for a day?"
Gu Changfeng couldn't help but lock his thick eyebrows and looked at Zheng Maoshan with a little blame.
At the first contact, he felt that Zheng Maoshan was a captain with great command ability, but when he came over to take a look, he found that he was an old-fashioned man who stuck to the rules and had no sense of innovation.
"This? Diversion canal?"
Zheng Maoshan didn't care about being angry, and looked at Gu Changfeng in confusion.
Can this young man really help him solve the problem of drought? If so, he, Old Zheng, admired him.
"Yes, you see that this river flows down from a high place, and it is not far from the beet field. As long as we concentrate strong labor to dig a ditch, we can divert water to irrigate the beet field.
Gu Changfeng nodded firmly and told Zheng Maoshan the plan in his mind.
"This is a good idea, but even if it is close, it is at least a mile away. This is a big project, and it is still difficult to dig it by people alone."
Zheng Maoshan's eyes lit up, but he still looked worried.
"I will send dozens of strong guys from the factory, and we will work together to ensure the completion of the sugar production task assigned by the state. ”
Since Gu Changfeng had made the decision, he naturally thought of the huge amount of manpower required. Now the sugar beets have not come down yet, and most of the workers in the sugar factory are just repairing equipment and doing some odd jobs. They can all be sent here to dig canals.
"Thank you, Director Gu, you are really timely. OK, let's decide."
Zheng Maoshan excitedly shook Gu Changfeng's hand. His previous annoyance towards Gu Changfeng disappeared. He felt from the bottom of his heart that this young man was very capable.
"Changfeng."
After watering, Zheng Chengbao ran to see if his little sister was bullied. As a result, he saw Gu Changfeng standing on the high ground at a glance. He excitedly dropped his shoulder pole and ran towards him.
"Hello."
Gu Changfeng's serious face had a smile on his face, and he took the initiative to shake hands with Zheng Chengbao. He was impressed by this young man.
"Changfeng, you must come to my house for lunch at noon. I have half a roe deer at home. I cooked it for you. "
Zheng Chengbao held Gu Changfeng's hand tightly, grinning happily and inviting him to his home.
This is the only peer he admires. He likes his agile skills so much. It is an honor to be friends with him.
"Okay!"
Gu Changfeng smiled and nodded, not rejecting Zheng Chengbao's enthusiasm.
Zheng Maoshan frowned. He originally wanted to let Gu Changfeng and the two comrades who followed him go to his home for lunch, but Zheng Chengbao snatched it away.
Glazing at Zheng Chengbao, he saw him grinning at him, with a bit of pride in his eyes.
Zheng Maoshan looked at him angrily. This brat brought people home for dinner casually. Would Gao Guilan agree?
"Dad, who is this big brother?"
