After reading this, County Magistrate Zhang felt the tightness in his chest suddenly ease, and he laughed heartily:
"Excellent, excellent! This is a truly excellent idea. All our wheat in the north can be saved."
Everyone before the meeting did understand.
Chen Xinli then explained the functions of reservoirs, open channels, vertical shafts and underground culverts one by one.
As long as this method is feasible, the North will no longer suffer from famine due to lack of water in the next hundred years, no, perhaps even a thousand years.
This is a major event that will benefit the country and the people and will last for generations to come.
Magistrate Zhang pondered silently, suppressing his inner restlessness.
If there were a group of people in front of him, he would have wanted to run to the streets of Xiping County and run wildly.
At this moment, looking at the short, dark girl in front of him, Zhang Jinnian felt that this was truly the lucky star given to him by God.
The people are saved!
The wheat in the north is saved!

Yunjin Pavilion.
The uncle and nephew of the Shen family delivered three hundred bamboo fans, and Manager Pang was still in charge of the reception, but a small incident still occurred.
It was just as Chen Xinli expected.
On the first day after entering the gate of Yunjin Pavilion with the bamboo fan.
Some people started to think about it.
Although people on the market do not know the dyeing skills, they can cut it into the same shape as the Shen family bamboo fan.
This type of bamboo fan is sold at the market for only three cents a piece, while those with more exquisite workmanship are sold for five cents a piece.
I only heard the fat shopkeeper say with a hint of apology:
"Brother Shen, nephew of the Shen family, I'm sorry. The truth is, I'm very satisfied with the bamboo fan you sent me. The weaving and dyeing techniques are quite exquisite.
But the market in our county is really limited.”
Shopkeeper Pang paused after he finished speaking.
Thinking that he didn't want their bamboo fan anymore, the uncle and nephew felt worried.
"Fat Shopkeeper, this is what we agreed on before, you can't break the contract!"
Shen Jinshan looked annoyed.
"No, no, no, nephew, you misunderstood. The three hundred bamboo fans delivered today include the one hundred that are still missing. I will purchase them at the previous price."
But a large number of imitations appeared on the market yesterday, so I had no choice but to consider sending the bamboo fans to other Yunjin Pavilions in the north for sale.
Therefore, the price of supply may be reduced to eight coins per handle from now on. After all, there are still transportation costs. I hope you understand."
In fact, the Shen family’s fifty bamboo fans were sold out at Yunjin Pavilion on the first day.
But doing business requires seizing the initiative.
This bamboo fan is indeed novel and elegant, and Manager Pang wants to promote it to Yunjin Pavilions in other counties in the north.
By then, I will definitely get praise from my superiors, and maybe even be promoted to the capital.
The climate here is too dry and too hot, he doesn't like it.
The uncle and nephew saw that Manager Pang was indeed sincere, and eight cents was actually within Ali's expectations.
On the first day, the three of them walked to the county town. Ali said that she wanted to calculate the labor costs of the three of them.
And because the quantity is small, the selling price is a bit high.
Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Pang actually took the initiative to help them get bigger business.
The two were immediately excited.
Although the price is much lower, as long as we sell more, won’t we make a profit?
Only they know the cost of dyeing, it’s so cheap!
Happily holding the three or two taels of silver they had obtained, the two of them prepared to go to the county government office to meet up with Ali, Shen Fugui and others.
As soon as we arrived at the county government office, we saw Zhao Lizheng walking out with Chen Xinli and others.
Over there, Aunt Zhao and Zhao Xiaobao also finished seeing the doctor.
After Zhao and Chen's families left,
County Magistrate Zhang immediately sent a yamen runner to the county gate with a notice.
At the same time, people were sent to urgently summon the village heads of nine villages in Xiping County.
