Chapter 13 The Waterways of the Mountains
"Ahem!" The crowd quieted down, but the long pavilion was not stage frightened at all under the gaze of nearly 100 lizheng.
People are people who have seen the emperor, and they are afraid that you will not succeed in a group of village officials.
"The small one is the county order's scholar Changting, my young master invited you to spend the festival together during the Dragon Boat Festival today, and you came all the way for today's competition, and you have worked hard. The young master has already arranged the wine and food in Ruyi Building, and will give you a cushion first. ”
Changting didn't stay after speaking, and withdrew with a smile.
A group of people standing in the courtyard with strange faces.
Among the nearly 100 people, a few silly and sweet ones were moved to tears.
Their prefectural order is so good! Knowing that they were rushing long distances for the competition, they didn't have a good lunch, and they arranged so many delicious foods, which is really a good official! They are so blessed! Whining~~~
More Li was looking at a few silly white sweets who were eating happily, and hesitated to sit on the stool.
Well, it smells good.
Why don't we take two bites?
If the county order asks for money, we'll spit it out for him!
A quarter of an hour later, Wei Lang came to the backyard of the county government with an amiable smiling face, and saw the cold scorching scraps on the table, Wei Lang felt that his smiling face was a little untenable.
What about rejoicing with the people?
Say yes and talk about the wine?
How can the people of Shanshui County be so real!
The well-fed Zhongli saw Wei Lang coming over, and saluted one by one with a big belly.
"Everyone, please take a seat, today Zizhao invited everyone to come over for a major event for the benefit of the people of Shanshui County!
A few years ago, Master Joy found a waterway leading to the mountain plain, and the place where the waterway flows into the North-South Grand Canal is in Shanshui County, and the emperor has decided to open this waterway and personally nominated the 'Mountain Waterway'. Saying this, Wei Lang knelt down in the direction of the imperial city and shouted: "Holy Wisdom! Long live our emperor! Hooray! ”
Seeing this posture, who dared to sit, one by one knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" Hooray! ”
After worshipping the Wise Divine Martial Saint, Wei Lang motioned for everyone to sit and speak.
"Although the mountain waterway can reach Shanshui County, there are several mountains in the middle to block it, and we need the help of people with good water. In order to build the mountain waterways as soon as possible, the labor in all parts of Shanshui County will become dredged waterways in the next few years.
You don't have to worry about the matter of labor, the Holy Lord has already sent a group of people to build, the labor will not be too heavy, and His Majesty is sympathetic to the people It is not easy to put it forward, and there will be a reward for more work, and more work will be rewarded.
When you go back, inform all families that the first group will leave in ten days, and the villages will be ready! ”
"What a good thing! Woo~~~ This is the ancestral tomb is smoking! ”
One of the stupid white sweets, waiting for Wei Lang to finish speaking, immediately hugged the one next to him excitedly and cried.
A waterway that connects the mountains and plains! Sounds like silver!
I think that a few decades ago, Shanshui County was still a small county town in the mountains, and most of the villagers who have lived in Shanshui County for generations are poor and poor. The days of life were one year of minor disasters and three years of famine.
The emergence of the North-South Grand Canal has turned their lives upside down.
Countless passenger ships, endless cargo. In just a few decades, the population of Shanshui County has quadrupled. Eat well, dress warmly, and life is indescribably good!
I didn't expect that God thought that their life was not good enough, and he actually sent another mountain waterway, there is nothing happier!
What a blessing from our ancestors!
……
As soon as Du Niang came back with her daughter-in-law and Fourth Brother Du, who was acting as a porter, she was dragged into the house by her husband.
"Sakura-chan, take a look."
Father Du happily contributed the reward won by his son to his daughter-in-law.
"Why are there so many?" Du Niang was taken aback.
"The county is good!"
Du Niang directly ignored the answer given by her husband, picked out a thick one from the two golden hairpins, and found a gold-wrapped hairpin from the depths of the cabinet, and called Du Sange into the house after hiding the other jewelry.
"Brother Lian, you take these two hairpins, and the rest of your father and mother will keep them for use."
Third Brother Du hurriedly pushed Du Niang: "Mother, we don't want it, that's why we should honor you!" ”
"Don't shirk, you deserve it." Saying that, Du Niang picked up the golden hairpin that she found, "Let your daughter-in-law take this one, and when someone asks, it will be a reward this time." ”
Seeing that his son was pushing and muttering, Father Du refused to take it, so he directly took out the posture of being a father: "I said it to you, why is such a big child disobedient?" ”
Seeing his father's black face, Du Sange took the hairpin and put it in his arms and closed the door and went out.
His father has no other skills, eating, sleeping, killing pigs and beating his son, absolutely leveraged!
After solving the problem of jewelry, Daddy Du teased his drowsy daughter for a while, and only pretended to be asleep with Du Xiao happy, and then went out with his stomach upside down.
Today, his son won the first place, and the old guys didn't care about the Dragon Boat Festival, so they had to let him have a treat.
The sons are all too good, and it's a good trouble to be a father!
"Bangbang! Bangbang! ”
A hurried knock sounded on the door, and Daddy Du stepped forward to open the courtyard door.
"Hairy legs, just in time, come with me to have a drink!"
Du Fei shook his hand: "Brother Cheng, Li Zheng said that he wants to open an ancestral hall, there is a big event to announce, hurry up and go back to your family!" I'm going to inform the others! ”
Du Fei was about to leave after speaking, and Du Niang, who heard the voice, saw that it was Du Fei, and hurriedly called Zhang Qiao'er to take out two of the meat she bought at noon, and then took out a big bowl of cold soup and said: "Big brother drink saliva and then leave, this one will be eaten on the road." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Du Fei took the cold soup and poured it down, and after saying goodbye to the two, he hurriedly ran away with the meat fire.
The surname Du is a big surname in Shanshui County, and this 'big' does not mean that there are many rich and powerful, but simply refers to a large number of people.
Not to mention that the Du family is all over all corners of Shanshui County, when Shanshui County was developed by the canal, many people set up shops in the city to do business. Although they are all corners and corners that some officials and wealthy families look down on, with the continuous expansion of Shanshui County for so many years, more and more people have entered the city, and many people have settled in the county seat all year round.
Du Fei is a well-known scud in Shili Eight Village, his two legs are thin and long, and he can run faster than a mule cart when he swishs, and he and a few young men came to inform him of any news in the village. If Du Xiaoxi knows now, he will definitely sigh for the good seedlings of the marathon.
Li Zheng didn't say anything in the morning, and the ancestral hall that roared in the afternoon must have happened after Li Zheng was asked to leave. Du Cheng didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly called a few sons back to Dujia Village.
Du Xiaoxi pouted, girl, if you don't take me, why can't a woman enter the ancestral hall? This is the ginseng rooster of the red fruit!
After lamenting the unfair treatment, Du Xiaoxi went to talk to Zhou Gong sadly.
