Fan Yu didn't really want to help Qin Yuanwai, but because his stepmother had lived in Qin Mansion for all these years, she had to have some affection.

When he said this, Qin Yuanwai didn't appreciate it, and stared at Fan Yu and said, "You can have such a good heart, don't you want to harm me again!" ”

Fan Yu waved his hand, pointed to the thousand acres of water in front of him and said, "Outside of Qin, things have come to this point, what else do you have to do." I can give you an idea, and it is also based on your love for taking care of your stepmother for many years, and you are more or less gracious. But after I helped you, my stepmother no longer owes you a favor. ”

When he did this, he could also see that Qin Hu's character was not very good, so as not to threaten him with favors in the future, which would not be good.

Qin Yuanwai looked at Fan Yu with some hesitation in his expression.

However, he still felt that he could give it a try, so he nodded and said: "Okay, since you can still help me for the sake of my kindness to your stepmother, I also promise you, and from then on, your stepmother will also repay this favor to my family." How to do it, please tell Brother Fan. ”

Fan Yu didn't say it directly, but said to Qin Yuanwai: "You can try this matter, but whether you can completely recover your losses or not, each accounts for fifty percent." So, would you like to do the same? ”

Qin Yuanwai's head was beating with green tendons, this kid is here to play himself, this is not over.

But when I think about it, what else is there to say at the moment, if you don't try, there may not even be a fifty percent of it.

"Brother Fan said directly, I won't look for a back account." Qin Hu and Qin Yuanwai almost gritted their teeth and said.

Fan Yu didn't care what his attitude was, and said directly: "Qin Yuanwai is a happy person, and I won't harm you." If you want to recover some losses from your thousands of acres of fertile land, it is impossible to ask the government for money directly. But if this embankment was dug by your Qin Mansion yourself, in order to save the fields of the entire town of Caoqiao Town, it would be different. ”

"What!" The shopkeeper He, who had just sorted himself out, was taken aback.

The housekeeper was also confused, and hurriedly said: "This is obviously a river embankment breach, flooding my Qin Mansion's fields, why do my Qin Mansion dig the river embankment by yourself!" ”

Qin Yuan's hands trembled, and he said to Fan Yu: "Little Brother Fan, why are you so vicious, when I am a fool, you are making fun of me here!" If you don't make it clear, I'm not done with you! The lawsuit is in Bianliang, and I will sue you too! ”

Regardless of his ups and downs, Shopkeeper He rolled his eyes, "Could it be that Fan Xiaoguan wants to blame the unstable fault of this river embankment on the outsider." ”

Fan Yu smiled, very disdainful of this, "You all see it like this?" It's just a summer worm that can't be spoken. Qin Yuanwai, if you don't believe me, then forget it, I will leave this matter alone. ”

The two officials who came with him looked at Fan Yu as if they saw a devil, how could they play with people so much at such a young age. They have never seen any cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, but they have never seen a demon like Fan Yu.

Hearing Fan Yu say that he didn't care, Qin Yuan couldn't get angry, and his heart suddenly became a loss again.

In the end, he nodded fiercely and said, "Brother Fan, please finish speaking, I still believe in you!" ”

"That's pretty much it, as long as Qin Yuanwai listens to me patiently, he will choose for himself, whether to believe me or not." Fan Yu continued unhurriedly: "I just want to say one thing, this embankment was dug by Qin Yuanwai himself, so that the fields of the villagers in Caoqiao Town would not be flooded. I can report this matter to the government and ask someone to send a plaque to the staff. ”

Qin Yuanwai was a little stunned and said, "That's it? ”

The housekeeper also opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, but he felt that the matter was inexplicable.

Only Shopkeeper He's eyes lit up, and he said: "Fan Xiaoguan, if you do this, can you really let the owner recover the loss?" ”

Fan Yu nodded, "Of course, just like this, it's not enough. However, at this time, it was the time of famine in Chenzhou, and the places around Chenzhou must have been difficult. If Qin Yuanwai had set an example for the squires because of this, it would have been completely different. Now that the imperial court is worried about the affairs of Chenzhou, there are suddenly selfless squires like Qin Yuanwai, and most of the imperial court may be rewarded by edicts. Even if you don't get the reward and compensation from the imperial court, you will definitely have a good reputation, so it is not impossible to give an official. If the staff does not listen to me, but accuses the government of building the embankment is not good, then even if it is not good, then it will not get anything. ”

The official position in the Song Dynasty was not only achieved by the imperial examination, so what Fan Yu said was entirely possible.

Qin Yuanwai was still angry, but when he understood the meaning of Fan Yu's words, he was already scratching his ears and cheeks with joy. looked at Fan Yu's gaze, and even brought a look of admiration.

"Brother Fan, no, Fan Xiaoguan is really smart!" Qin Yuanwai rubbed his hands together, ignoring the muddy water on his body, "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, this is really turning your hands into clouds and covering your hands into rain." Even if the court doesn't reward compensation, I'm willing! ”

The so-called fame and fortune are impossible to separate. If you are famous, you will be beneficial, and if you are famous, you will be famous. As long as one word is occupied, the other will not be able to escape. Although Qin Yuanwai has not been in the business for many years, he still understands these things.

Fan Yu laughed, waved his hand and said: "This matter still needs to have some momentum, if it is quiet, then there is nothing." Qin Yuanwai himself also sent people to publicize it, and this matter was the first to happen. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, all listen to the petty officials Fan, I will go back to the house and order people to act according to the words of the petty officials." Qin Yuanwai arched his hand at Fan Yu.

"So, I took my leave." Fan Yu also smiled and arched his hand.

On the way back, the two officials who came with him were already shocked by Fan Yu. Obviously, it was this kid who led people to dig the embankment, irrigated the Qin family's fertile land, and turned around and died of the difference in popularity. But in less than half an hour, the other party was grateful to Dade, which was really breathtaking.

Fan Yu didn't care what these two servants thought, and with the two of them, he was afraid that Qin Yuan would be rude to him.

When he returned to the station of those hungry people, he sent people to plug the gap in the Qin family's fields, and there were other tasks to be distributed. The embankment here in Caoqiao Town has been reinforced, but there is still downstream that has not been reinforced. As long as the famine in Chenzhou does not end, the cash-for-work business will continue.

After arranging everything, Fan Yu returned home.

When he saw his stepmother, Granny Li, he told his stepmother everything he said to Qin Hu and Qin Yuanwai. It's just that he led people to dig up the embankment, and he hid it and didn't say anything.

After listening to Fan Yu's words, the stepmother sighed, "You are still a child, and now you are carrying the burden of governing the river, and you have to worry about your mother here." It's really hard for you at such a young age. ”
