Chapter 184 Research on Channel Opening
In fact, it is to investigate what went wrong in their planting methods or force majeure factors.
The village chief wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"I see. Thank you, sir, for still thinking of this place."
But in my heart I was thinking that if it really didn't work I should ask the county magistrate to come over, as these people in front of me might be spies from other villages!
It's just to plot some sinister schemes in their village so that she, the village chief, can step down!
Duhuo seemed to have seen through the village chief's thoughts and smiled:
"What is the village chief thinking about?"
"In Yuan County, my master is so powerful that he can cover the sky with one hand. I guess the village chief has not been out of this place for a long time and has never seen the world, so he wants to challenge my master's authority!"
Yun Zhuan looked at his daughter Duhuo with amusement. How come this girl is becoming more and more like a lackey of the bully?
It's also weird!
However, Su Yu'an felt that Duhuo was not strict enough. What did he mean by Yuanjun was the master?
The entire Nanzhao belongs to Yun Zhuan, so is it not okay for her to come and take a look at Qinghe Village?
It must be the result of several generations of hard work by the ancestors of Qinghe Village that this day has come to pass.
The village chief was sweating profusely. The aggression of these people really made her feel uncomfortable:
"In that case, I will wait on you, so that if you have any questions, I can answer them for you in time!"
Yun Ju'an smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble the village chief. I like this Sixth Auntie very much. Let her help you explain it to me!"
Li He had studied it thoroughly by then: "Start digging the canal from here, and then extend it step by step according to the villagers' farmland, and that's it!"
The plan is simple, but its implementation will definitely require a lot of manpower.
Yun Zhuan pointed at the map calmly and said, "Village Chief, do you understand this map? Dig a reservoir on this piece of land, and then dig a channel from this place to divert water to the farmland. The depth of the channel can be divided according to the daily tributaries of the small river. Turn this channel into a tributary of the small river. Do you understand?"
"Then, the higher places can be made into terraces, or a waterwheel can be installed. The structural diagram of the waterwheel is here. I will arrange for someone to explain it to the carpenters in your village, and I will also give you money for the installation."
Su Yuean added for Yun Zhuan:
"Not only that, we will also send people to keep an eye on it. If the harvest this fall does not meet expectations, not only will you as the village chief be fired, but you as the county magistrate will also be fired!"
The village chief naturally heard it clearly and nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely do it, I will definitely do it!"
What this noble man in front of me means is, if it's difficult, then don't do it, let's just let it go, and let the county magistrate and her die together!
Yun Zhuan nodded with satisfaction. Auntie Liu was thinking about inviting someone to dinner just now, but she didn't expect that this person's status was so noble that even the village chief had to bow and nod to him. If it really doesn't work, then forget it!
"Sixth Aunt, didn't I say I would go to your house for dinner?" Yun Ju'an mentioned softly, then smiled obediently.
The village chief said hurriedly, "Why don't you go to my house for dinner? I'll ask my husband to kill some chickens and ducks for you, and cook a table of delicious dishes. I'll also buy some good wine. Thank you for your hard work on the journey..."
Duhuo said calmly: "The master is talking to someone, don't interrupt!"
Several people saw that the village chief seemed to want to flatter them but couldn't let go of his status. In addition, he also wanted to give them a warning at the beginning. They knew that he might accept bribes in the village without doing anything.
But the matter was not that serious. From what I inquired along the way, I found that he was not particularly resentful. He tried to please the county magistrate and the nobles, so I knew that he was not a fool!
This is exactly the kind of person we need to do the work of a county magistrate.
But Yun Zhuan was annoyed that someone had to make decisions for her, so she didn't answer and just ordered:
"Let's go to Aunt Six's house!"
The Sixth Auntie then called out, "Zhu'er, come home now!"
Yun Ju'an then realized that the person who was quietly changing his clothes was actually the son of Aunt Liu.
But if we want to go through this forest, we will probably have to go around it and wade through water.
Normally, wading in the water is nothing, but today there are outsiders, Zhu Er couldn't help but hesitate:
"Mom, you guys go home first, I'll be there soon."
"Li He, do you know martial arts?" Yun Ju'an asked with a smile, "Bring Zhu'er over here, don't let him get wet."
Li He didn't know how Yun Ju'an knew that she knew martial arts, but since Yun Ju'an had given her the order, she would do it carefully. After saying that, she flew across the river using Qinggong:
"Master Zhu, please support me."
Li He was afraid of ruining Zhu'er's reputation, so he quickly came over with his arms around his waist, and then let go.
Yun Ju'an held his chin with his hand and said, "Wouldn't it be quick this way?"
She didn't ignore the screams of the group of little boys just now!
Yun Zhuan waved at them kindly and said:
"See you later, buddy!"
Having said that, he was led home by Sixth Aunt.
Zhu'er was standing beside them, perhaps because she was shy, and didn't dare to say a word.
Yun Zhuan teased him: "Zhu'er, how old are you this year?"
"I'm...fourteen years old!" Zhu'er stuttered.
Yun Zhuan suddenly realized: "Isn't this just the right age for marriage?"
Auntie Liu laughed heartily beside him: "This child takes after his father, he is shy, but he has a good heart!"
"Aren't you afraid that he will marry far away? Will you miss her?" Yun Zhuan joked, "If you want, I can let him follow our Li He now. He who follows me can't go wrong!"
"Good girl, if you can get a job in the future, you will have a bright future!"
Seeing that Auntie Liu was silent and thinking, Yun Zhuan struck while the iron was hot and said:
"Our Li He doesn't have any concubines. If you marry her, she will be the master's concubine in the future. Besides, my Li He grew up on the battlefield since she was a child. You will be her biological mother in the future. You don't have to worry about her being unfilial!"
How can I live with my own son?
Auntie Liu waved her hands hastily:
"What's going on? How can I live with my son?"
Li He was still daydreaming and had no idea that Yun Ju'an was trying to find a match for her. Duhuo and Su Yu'an looked at each other. It was rare to see Yun Ju'an being a matchmaker with all his skills!
Yun Zhu said solemnly:
"Why not? Our Li He will have a bright future if he follows me, don't you think so, Su Yuean?"
Su Yu'an suppressed his laughter and said with great approval:
"Of course it is! Whoever follows you will have a hard time!"
Yun Zhuan glared at her and continued his lobbying. Before he could even open his mouth, he arrived at Aunt Liu's house and could only touch his nose in dismay:
"Zhu'er, please think carefully. After all, you have no right to decide on this marriage!"
Zhu Er was a little naive, and said hesitantly: "I was married at the behest of my parents and the matchmaker..."
Li He suddenly said:
"You can follow me. Since our master has agreed, he will definitely make your life better!"
