Chapter 148: Envious (Additional update for 110,000 recommendation votes from Yun Qi)

Early in the morning, a team of laborers had already gone upstream to intercept the river water; they also needed to dig trenches to divert some of the water. Now the river was slowly subsiding, but it couldn't be completely cut off just yet. However, it was shallow enough for people to stand in the middle of the river.

They had to first clear out the scattered rocks and remaining undisturbed mud from the riverbed, then they would start to construct the embankments.

The County Governmental Office estimated that the task would take around twenty days.

Zhou SiLang looked on from the bank as he and others moved stones larger than a person and cleared out trash and soil from the river embankments. Just one day's work and there were already blood marks on his shoulders, but even so, his job was easier than those working in the river.
