When they heard that Yu Hao was rewarded, the people didn't care about anything else and just threw their arms around and digged.

Three hundred civilians took turns to work, digging the soil very quickly. In an hour, a large pit that was more than ten meters deep and seven or eight meters wide was dug.

Although the soil became wet, there was still no trace of water.

"It's been so long and I haven't dug up the water yet. Prince Concubine, your method is probably not working!" Hu Xianwu said.

"Sir Auxiliary, have you not seen that the soil has become wet? It means we are about to succeed!" Lu Xiaoming said quickly.

Although he was unsure, he still chose to believe Yu Hao.

"This was a lake before, and the soil was soaked in the lake water. The soil was buried deep, so it was not completely dry yet. There was no water source. Could it be that we would squeeze out water from the soil?" Hu Xianwu didn't

He said angrily.

At this time, the sun hangs in the sky like a big fireball, and there is no place to hide around.

The group was completely exposed to the sun and were all sweating profusely. If this continues, they must be cooked.

As time passed by minute by minute, Hu Xianwu could no longer hold back.

He really wanted to suggest that everyone go back first and come out to find water sources another day, but seeing that Zhou Ren was still insisting, he naturally couldn't say anything else.

It can be seen from Zhou Ren's dark skin that he often burns in the sun on weekdays, and at this time there is nothing except a little heat.

But what he was concerned about was not the question of whether it was hot or not. Now he was just trying to dig out water as soon as possible to solve the problem of drinking water among the people of Guangyi Prefecture.

At this time, the civilians had dug down more than 20 meters, but they still did not see water. Under the scorching sun, many civilians had mild symptoms of heatstroke.

Even Yu Hao frowned slightly. The method of using mugwort leaves to find water was what Yu Hao saw in the book in his previous life. It shouldn’t be unworkable, right?

Just when Yu Hao was suspicious, an excited voice suddenly came from the deep pit: "It's out of water, it's really out of water!"

Everyone was overjoyed and quickly looked at the bottom of the pit.

A stream of water gushed out from the ground, and the water column instantly rushed to three or four meters. In a blink of an eye, the water in the pit disappeared beyond the instep of the civil servant.

"Enlarge the water outlet, others come up immediately!" Yu Hao shouted in the pit.

Several civilians received orders and took several hoes to go down. The outlet was instantly expanded and the groundwater suddenly surged out.

The civilians did not dare to neglect and quickly climbed up from the pit along the rope, with each face filled with the joy of victory.

As the water level grew higher and higher, it did not gradually calm down until it exceeded two-thirds of the deep pit.

Looking at the water in the deep pit, Hu Xianwu widened his eyes and murmured: "It's out of the water, it's really out of the water, it's amazing!"

Hearing Hu Xianwu muttered nonstop, a look of pride flashed in Lu Xiaoming's eyes and said, "How is it, my elder brother is amazing, right?"

"Awesome, awesome!" Hu Xianwu nodded like pounding garlic.

"Yu Hao, how did you know that water must be dug out in this place?" Shi Meng asked in confusion.

Shi Meng obviously asked everyone's questions, and for a moment everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Hao.

Yu Hao smiled slightly, took out a leaf of mugwort from his arms, and said, "It's because of this."

"There is a characteristic of mugwort leaves, which is that the smoke produced after combustion will not float upwards into the air, but will walk downwards along the ground. When it encounters a water source, it will evaporate and rise with the water."

"So after we light the mugwort leaves, we just go within a radius of five miles to find where smoke will come out, and there will be water source underground."

After Yu Hao explained this, everyone understood. Unexpectedly, Ai Ye had such a purpose, and they all looked at Yu Hao with admiration, especially Lu Xiaoming.

They are all young second-generation officials, so why do Yu Hao knows everything, but he is like a fool?

Feeling the admiring eyes of everyone, Yu Hao smiled slightly.

This method of finding water sources was a necessary skill for marching and fighting in ancient times in the past life. It can be said that it is widely known, but it seems that this is the first time I heard of it in this world.

At this moment, Zhou Ren suddenly knelt in front of Yu Hao with a "thump" and kowtowed to Yu Hao repeatedly: "Thank you, the prince consort, for finding the water source, saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in my Guangyi Mansion!"

Yu Hao was startled and quickly helped Zhou Ren up and said, "Mr. Zhou, what are you doing? This is what I should do. I have taught you the method. The rest depends on you."

Zhou Ren nodded and said quickly: "Don't worry, my son-in-law, I know what to do, and I will definitely not disappoint my son-in-law."

At this time, Zhou Ren was already in tears, but not sad, but excited.

After learning this method, he could send people to find water sources everywhere in Guangyi Prefecture, so that the people of Guangyi Prefecture would not have to worry about drinking water.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ren hurriedly looked at Hu Xianwu and ordered: "Xianwu, you can pass this method to each county immediately and ask them to start looking for water sources immediately. Anyone who is lazy will be killed immediately. In addition, notify the people around you as soon as possible.

Come and get water!”

Under the baking of the sun, a large amount of water will evaporate after a period of time, so it cannot be wasted.

Hu Xianwu was completely impressed by Yu Hao at this time, and nodded quickly, not daring to have any objection.

At this moment, a stud ran over and bowed: "Report to Sir, we found an injured old man while we were on guard. He recognized us as the stud in Haoyue Manor and asked us to bring him here.

See you.”

"The injured old man? I want to see me?" Yu Hao was stunned and said, "Take him here!"

The escort got Yu Hao's answer and waved to the four escorts not far away. The four of them hurriedly carried a man wrapped in a black cloak and walked over.

The man seemed to be seriously injured, so the bodyguards simply put him on the ground.

"Sir, this old man wants to see you, but he has fainted now."

Yu Hao frowned, squatted beside the old man, took off the masked cloth that he covered, and immediately showed a familiar face.

"Old Majesty Feng?" Yu Hao widened his eyes. Isn't this Feng Yulou, the old eunuch next to the emperor?

I haven't seen Feng Yulou in the palace for a long time before. Yu Hao thought he had retired and returned home, so why did he suddenly appear here?

"Is this person the Fengyulou, the chief supervisor next to the emperor?" Zhou Ren also thought of something and asked quickly when he saw Yu Hao calling this person "father-in-law".

Yu Hao nodded and quickly began to check Feng Yulou's injuries. He saw three arrow wounds on Feng Yulou's back, and the wound had already ulcerated. Feng Yulou also had a high fever due to the wound infection.

The most fatal thing was a knife wound dozens of centimeters on the abdomen, and blood was still pouring out.

Feng Yulou just simply bandaged his clothes. In such weather, he was seriously infected and even smelly.
