Looking at the crying old women and the sheep carcasses on the ground, Ying Yu asked in confusion.

The old woman raised her head and glanced at Ying Yu. Although she didn't know Ying Yu's identity, she knew from the way he was dressed that he was not an ordinary person, so she shook her head and said sadly:

"Young Master, judging from your clothes, you must be a nobleman from Xianyang City, right?"

"You two don't know that our village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It used to be very isolated and backward, but now with the opening of the Daqin Railway and the construction of roads, our village has gradually become connected with the outside world and has trade exchanges with the outside world.

.”

"Many farmers in the village rely on grazing to make a living, but the heavy rains some time ago caused the soil to roll down from the mountains around the village. The heavy rain caused many cracks and mudslides to appear in the mountains.

"

"It was precisely because of the formation of the mudflow that wild beasts that originally lived deep in the mountains appeared near our village and killed these sheep."

"Moreover, the formation of mudflows has destroyed many farmlands around the village, and the presence of wild beasts has made it impossible for villagers to go up the mountain to cut firewood!"

Another villager came to Ying Yu, looked at the corpses of the sheep on the ground, shook his head and said helplessly.

"Since a natural disaster occurred and the villagers were unable to solve it, didn't you inform the government?"

Ying Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly.

"We have already informed the government, but the mudslide disaster is serious. Although the government people tried their best to help us, they were unable to clear all the mudslides near the village for a while."

"Besides, the people in the government can't do anything about the ferocious beasts in the mountains."

After hearing what Ying Yu said, the old woman spoke again.

"I see."

"Let's do this. You old man, please find someone to call the government officials. I have a way to solve the current predicament of your village."

Ying Yu smiled calmly.

"Really? If that's the case, that would be great!"

"It just so happens that the people from the government are driving wild beasts away for us in the mountains. They must be back soon."

"..."

Hearing that Ying Yu had a way to help them solve their problem, the faces of the surrounding villagers suddenly beamed with joy.

Although they don't know Ying Yu's identity yet, in the eyes of these villagers, Ying Yu is brightly dressed and looks like he belongs to a rich and powerful family. Maybe this young gentleman in front of them can really solve the problem for them.

The current predicament may not be the same.

Half an hour later.

I saw a group of people wearing official uniforms coming to the village. Judging from the dirt on their bodies, they were obviously the people from the government who the villagers had just said went up the mountain to drive away the beasts.

"Villages, the beast has been driven away and it is estimated that it will not appear near the village again for a while."

"It's just that there is too much silt near the village. It will probably take a long time to remove it all."

After returning to the village, the leading county government official looked at the villagers and sighed helplessly.

"Thank you sir!"

"By the way, sir, that young man wants to see you. He said there is a way to solve the mud flow problem."

At this time, the old man who had been talking to Ying Yu walked up to the county government official, pointed at Ying Yu and said.

When the county government official heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked in the direction of the old woman's finger: "This..."

"His Royal Highness is actually here in person. I am too blind to recognize His Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

When the county government official saw Ying Yu's face clearly, he was instantly startled, and then he quickly saluted Ying Yu and said respectfully.

As a county magistrate around Xianyang, he naturally knew Ying Yu.

Hearing the words of the county government officials, everyone present looked shocked. They never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would appear in front of them.

After being shocked, everyone quickly saluted Ying Yu.

At this moment, both the villagers and the county officials all had excitement on their faces.

Ying Yu is now a household name throughout the Qin Dynasty and is deeply loved by the people.

Whether it is officials or people, in their eyes, Ying Yu is a god. With Ying Yu around, the mud flow problem in the village can be completely solved. As long as the mud flow problem is solved, they can restore their original status.

In order to survive, I can continue to go up the mountain to chop wood and hunt.

"You don't need to be polite."

"Right now, the most important thing is to solve the problem of mudslides near the village and allow the villagers to return to normal life."

Ying Yu waved his hand and said calmly.

"Your Highness, this village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. There was a heavy rain a few days ago, and there was too much mud and stone washed away. If we want to clean it up in a short time, we will only need to recruit a lot of labor."

"Moreover, when I went up the mountain to drive away the beasts, I carefully observed that the soil on this mountain is very soft. If there is continuous heavy rain, I am afraid that there will be mud and rocks falling down."

The county government official came to Ying Yu and said helplessly.

Simply cleaning up the mud near the village is obviously treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

"The soft soil is caused by soil erosion. We only need to plant more trees on this mountain to solve the problem."

"As for the issue of clearing the mudflow, there is no need to recruit labor. So you can send someone to send a message to Xiao He and ask him to come over with a steam excavator."

"No, I will send someone to send a message right now!"

Hearing Ying Yu's words, the county government official responded quickly. After giving a few instructions to the people around him, he asked doubtfully:

"Your Highness, what is the steam excavator you just mentioned? Is it your latest invention?"

As he spoke, the county government official had a look of expectation in his eyes.

Nowadays, everyone in Daqin knows that anything invented by His Highness the Crown Prince is an artifact that benefits the country and the people.

As for the word steam excavator, the county government officials had never heard of it. It was obviously the latest invention of His Royal Highness.

Ying Yu naturally saw the changes in the expressions of the county government officials.

"It is indeed the latest weapon invented by this prince. You will know its specific function later."

After finishing his words, Ying Yu ignored the excited county government officials and spoke softly to Sophie beside him:

"It seems that we can't play anymore. Let's wait here."

"It's time to go back after the things here are settled."

Sophie nodded slightly when she heard the words: "Okay, just follow what His Highness said."

"Originally, I was going out to play with you, but it turned out..."

Looking at Sophie, there was a hint of apology on Ying Yu's face.

"Your Highness, there is no need to say anything."

"Sophie is very satisfied that His Highness can accompany Sophie."

"Besides, as the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, His Highness cares about the people, and it is a good thing to help the people solve their problems and solve their problems. Sophie is very happy for His Highness in her heart."

"If Sophie's abilities were not limited, she would have tried her best to assist His Highness and take care of His Highness's worries."

Before Ying Yu could finish speaking, Sophie shook her head, looked at Ying Yu affectionately and said.
