Li Qing said: "I want to know what happened back then, what the drought was like every year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 How did it happen, how long did it take for people to move, how long did it take for them to get out of control and start fighting each other, when did the refugees start to return to their hometowns, when did the locust plague occur, how did the locust plague prevent it before, and how did the government deal with it? I want to know all of this, and grandpa doesn't have to worry about it, just think of what to say. “

The old patriarch talked endlessly for a day, and even the three of them ate together, and the patriarch Li saw that the old father's condition was much better, and he didn't stop Li Qing, he hoped that his father was thinking too much, but if it wasn't, he didn't have a bottom in his heart. I only hope that the harvest of these two years can allow everyone to spend this year in peace. Li Qing saw that the old patriarch was tired, so he said goodbye to Jiang Craftsman.

Old Patriarch Li watched Li Qing leave calmly and put his mind at ease. Li Qing's ability has been in his eyes for the past few years, and he is watching from the sidelines, what are you afraid of, they will definitely be able to pass.

When Li Qing walked out of the courtyard of Patriarch Li's house, his face changed.

Jiang Jiangren looked at Li Qing's ugly face and said, "Today, I have been thinking all day long, what is there in the world that can make you not calm as before. Don't tell me that you are pretending to be at the end of the day, whether it is me or the rest of the village who need you, you can't mess up your proportions at any time. “

Li Qing's heart moved and said: "Thank you Uncle Jiang for reminding me, I will remember, I will control my emotions." “

Li Qing returned to the mountain, and there were already many people waiting for Li Qing on the mountain. Seeing that Li Qing came back easily, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Li Qing saw all this, and secretly reminded himself that he must not panic.

Li Qing said: "I will make a series of anti-drought arrangements from now on, I will not give any explanation, and if you are willing to follow me, you will follow the order." If you don't want to follow me, I won't force it. But I said it to the front, if there was a drought, I wouldn't care if his family lived or died, no matter who it was. Later, you go back and tell your family that this must be voluntary, not forced. I don't want someone to complain and disobey my arrangements after an accident happens. The three of you village chiefs will hold a meeting in the village overnight to talk about this. Tomorrow at noon, I will have a report detailing who is willing and who is not. You can persuade, but you can't force it. To all those who are unwilling, they must say that if the drought comes, Li Qing's realm will definitely not care about the life or death of their family, let them be mentally prepared in advance, don't happen when the time comes, and say that I, Li Qing, have no humanity. From tomorrow onwards, I will arrange work for all those who are willing to follow me, and those who do not participate will never have the opportunity to participate. One family makes one decision, and it is not allowed for a family to disagree. Give them three days to think about it, and after three days, it won't work for anyone. “

Li Ren, Wu Tian, and Zhang Cheng went back to count the villagers. Li Qing asked everyone to disperse and said that the meeting would be held at noon the next day. Then he wrote a letter to Xue Dongwei, asking Xue Dongwei to help him find out all the things about drought and locust plague, and mentioned the drought 70 years ago, and asked him to help check the specific situation of that year and the government's emergency measures.

There was a gong sound under the mountain. Everyone in Wujia Village gathered at Wu Tian's house, and Wu Tian conveyed what Li Qing said today to everyone. Wu Tian said that he would advance and retreat with Li Qing, and Li Qing's performance over the years is obvious to all, if it is a famine year, only by following Li Qing can he live. The people in Wujia Village are all long-term workers of the Li family, and there is no need for Wu Tian to say that they also want to follow Li Qing. Since signing the contract, the owner has been very good to them, and their life has been getting better and better. There is only one family in Wujia Village who is not a worker of the Li family, and Wu Tian usually helps them, and their family is old and young, and Li Qing really doesn't need them. The old man said that they were willing to stay, but he was afraid that the owner would think he was useless. Wu Tian told him not to worry, as long as he was willing to follow Li Qing, all of them were Li Qing's people, now was the time for their boss to accept people, if he didn't follow now, he wouldn't want to enter Li's house in the future. The old man happily said that he was willing to do anything.

In Lijia Village, Li Ren also knocked on the gong to find everyone, and told Li Qing everything he said, and they could go back and think about it for three days. The old patriarch said that their family would follow Li Qing and get through the difficulties. Because of the relationship between the old patriarch, more than half of the people in Lijia Village agreed, and the remaining four households had a poor relationship with Li Shan, and they had no contact with Li Qing in the past two years. They also want to follow Li Qing in their hearts, but they are afraid that they will be hated by Li Qing for their previous events, so it is better for their family to leave, at least their own food now.

Li Ren also knew their concerns, and said that Li Qing was not a stingy person, so he didn't have to mind. You can also go back and discuss it with the family, this is a major matter, a major matter related to the life and death of the family, if you don't express your position within three days, you will ask Li Qing in the future, and Li Qing will definitely not care. The four families went back and thought about it.

In Zhangjia Village, Zhang Cheng summoned everyone and said Li Qing's words. The patriarch of Zhangjiacun thought that Li Qing was taking the opportunity to build momentum and wanted to expand the status of the Li family. Now Li Qing's land boundary is already Li Qing's on the surface, Wujia Village originally relied on Li Qing's family, and Lijia Village is Li Qing's own clan. As far as their Zhangjiacun can still compete with the Li family, he does not agree with Zhangjiacun and the Li family. Patriarch Zhang's attitude affected many people, and the people of Zhangjia Village were hesitating, they wanted Li Qing's protection, and they also wanted the protection of the clan.

Zhang Cheng saw that everyone was hesitant and said: "Li Qing has already said, now that everyone doesn't express their position, you can give everyone three days to go back and think about it." As soon as three days pass, even if you figure it out, Li Qing's realm will not want you anymore, and when the time comes, let's not talk about whether there is a disaster year, even if there is not, everyone should stop thinking about any benefits for the Li family on weekdays. And don't forget one thing, the Li Qing River is Li Qing's, if there is a big drought, not to mention anything else, as long as the upstream water is dry, Li Qing can cut off the river, and the Li Qing Reservoir is private property. Li Qing's people must have water to drink, and those who don't follow Li Qing, you think for yourself. Li Qing said that even if he begged him at that time, he wouldn't care. “

After listening to Zhang Cheng's words, most of the people in Zhangjia Village expressed their attitude, saying that they did not want to leave the village, and they were afraid that they would really have no water to drink. The others saw that someone was taking the lead, and a few were willing to follow Li Qing's realm. In the end, there were only a dozen families of village chief Zhang's cronies who were unwilling to follow, and Zhang Cheng asked them to go back and think about it for another three days, after all, Zhang Cheng was also a member of Zhang's family, and Zhang Cheng persuaded these thirteen families again. before letting them go.
