Drinking is a small hobby, but it is more regarded as a drink, because it is delicious, not because of any pursuit of wine.

Thinking about drinking, Wang Lanling was a little thirsty, and said to the people next to him: "Where is this?" ”

Liu Fufeng didn't know about this, so he quickly said: "It should be the place between Xujiatun and Tianqiao." ”

There are mountains and flat land nearby, and the river is not turbulent, but now it is against the current, and when you come back, you can go upriver by relying on the sails.

The direction of the water and the direction of the wind change, and you can use sails or oars to move forward with both the wind and the current.

If you really encounter the dilemma of the river being turbulent and absolutely against the wind and current, then directly let the slender man pull the boat on the shore, which is the optimal solution before the arrival of the mechanical boat.

Whether it's sailing on the ice or going against the current, manpower can set the day.

This is only normal weather, if you encounter a rainstorm, then rest honestly.

It's a good day, and two boatmen can control the boat, so you don't need too many helpers.

Wang Lanling looked at both sides of the riverbank, and after a flat flat land appeared on the left side of the boat, he saw a few children standing on the riverside looking at this side.

A few children were playing by the river, two girls were lighting a fire by the river, and the rest were older and younger, the older was more than ten years old, and the younger was two or three years old.

"Let's take a look." Wang Lanling felt that it was not interesting just to sit on the boat and watch, so he asked the boatman to dock the boat on the shore.

The two boatmen quickly pushed the boat over with a long pole.

Wang Lanling stood up and looked at the shore, there were some silt ditches by the river here, and those children were fishing and catching shrimp here.

When the boat approached the shore, two gondoliers carried a two-meter-and-a-half plank between the boat and the shore as a pedal, and the children quickly ran out.

A few older children picked up the younger ones, and they didn't care about the things, as if they had met a bad guy.

Wang Lanling said to his subordinates: "Ma Fei, you go and bring a child over, be careful not to hurt the child, if it really doesn't work, forget it, don't chase it." ”

Ma Fei is in his thirties, a hard-working rice shop guy, because of his relationship with Wang Lanling's side, I heard that he was recently raised by the owner of the rice shop.

"Yes!"

Ma Fei quickly jumped off the deck, stepped over the pedal of two or three meters, stepped directly on the ground by the river, and then strode towards the field.

Wang Lanling looked at Ma Fei's movements, he really couldn't envy him, he could only be down-to-earth, and he couldn't envy it!

stepped on the pedal and walked to the river, Liu Fufeng and Wei Biao behind him followed, as well as a few people from the Water Affairs Division.

After this year's water news, Wang Lanling expelled these bastards!

The boatman came down with a rope and drove it into the ground with a hammer and a sheared stick, making a simple fixation to prevent the boat from being swept away by the water.

As soon as Wang Lanling walked to the place where the children were cooking shrimp on the fire just now, he saw Ma Fei coming back.

Ma Fei walked in front, followed by a woman with a one-year-old child on her back, and behind the woman was a string of small children, large and small.

As if they had caught a goat, the children followed the woman honestly.

Compared with Wang Lanling and others who wear decent clothes, women are the kind of clothes that pick up tattered clothes, and the clothes on their bodies are all stitched in pieces, dirty and messy.

"My lord, someone brought it." Ma Fei clenched his fists in return.

The woman next to her trembled nervously, and quickly knelt on the ground at this time, pressing her head against the wet dirt, and her body was trembling.

Seeing this, Wang Lanling quickly said: "Get up, I am the water officer of Heishui County, Wang Lanling, I want to ask you something when I pass by here, stand up and talk." ”

The woman raised her head, her dirty face was full of nervousness, "I can kneel, I can't stand up......"

Wang Lanling nodded, "Then sit and talk." Wang Lanling nodded, he wanted to sit and talk to this woman by himself, but he felt that this would make people more frightened, so he looked at Ma Fei, "Ma Fei, you sit, show her how to sit, whatever you want." ”

"Yes!" Ma Fei sat honestly on the ground, not afraid of soiling his clothes.

He sat on the ground as usual, looking at the woman.

Wang Lanling said to the woman: "If you can stand up and talk, just stand and talk, if you can't, just sit and talk, are those your children?" ”

The woman slowly sat down on the ground, she nodded cautiously and said, "Yes, it's all my baby." ”

Wang Lanling counted it, and there were already eight children behind the woman.

Wang Lanling asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The woman replied, "Find some food, this is a wasteland, no one wants it, let's find some wild vegetables to cook." ”

Wang Lanling felt very puzzled, "Since you can feed so many children, there should be no shortage of food at home, why do you pick vegetables here alone?" ”

Although he doesn't understand many things, Wang Lanling is not ignorant of everything, and he still understands the most basic farmer relationship.

This kind of vegetable picking is usually done by several women with their children, not by one woman with several children.

There is a big difference between the countryside, and there is a clear difference between children and adults.

This woman's body and bones don't look like that of a rural person.

Rural women are fat, powerful, able to give birth, able to work, and heavy fat can be sprinkled and rolled.

Men in the countryside have long limbs, thin arms, small bellies, thin stomachs, can see bones, and basically do not have fat people.

Don't look thin, but the people who work are basically like this, and they are not the kind of people who look strong.

A sturdy person like Ma Fei is actually a thug similar to a landlord's family.

And Ma Fei's position in the rice shop is not a coolie doing odd jobs, but a deterrent force to prevent someone from stealing rice and making trouble.

The woman slammed her head on the ground again and cried loudly: "The people's daughter's family was quite solid before, but the hateful county rich man Zhang seized my family's Liangtian ancestral house and killed my man. ”

Wang Lanling didn't expect that he could encounter this kind of thing on a casual trip, but when he thought of all kinds of unlucky things in this world, he felt that this kind of thing was not surprising at all.

If she was more aggressive when she got off the boat, and more powerful when she talked to her, she wouldn't dare to say a word, let alone sue.

"Rich man Zhang? Is there such a number one person in Blackwater County? Wang Lanling showed a puzzled expression, he knew a little about the affairs of Heishui County, but there were many surnames Zhang.

The woman quickly said: "It's not Heishui County, it's Guqiao County!" Rich Zhang's son-in-law is the head catcher in the county, and the child's father was beaten to death by that person! Please make the decision for my family! ”

Heishui County is a large county, and the head of a county is the county order.

Although Guqiao County is a small county, this is not under the jurisdiction of Heishui County, and this is the territory of other counties.

Most of the places in Heishui County and Yunzhou are different languages, to be precise, they are the important places that hold the passes of Shanzhou and Yunzhou, so the population is relatively large, but they are all centrally managed and not scattered.

"I am the official of Heishui County, and there are many people in Heishui County who are older than me, so I can't take care of the affairs of your county, but I will say hello to someone and let him take care of this matter."

Wang Lanling knew a lot of people, and he could talk to many people, so he didn't think about who to find for a while.

The woman quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, master!" Thank you, sir! ”

"Alright, alright, raise your head and speak." Wang Lanling looked at this woman, and then looked at the children next to him who knelt down without knowing when, and his heart softened, "It's not a matter for you to go on like this, but there are people who can take refuge?" I'll let you go over later. ”

The woman cried and said, "They said that the child's father owed a lot of money, and the relatives did not dare to take us in. ”

Wang Lanling frowned, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Is there anyone in Zhang Yuanwai's family named Zhang Boli?" ”

The woman shook her head blankly, "I don't know ......"

"Is there anyone in his family who is an official in Heishui County?" Wang Lanling asked again.

The woman shook her head, "No, I haven't heard of it." ”

Wang Lanling sighed, but even if Zhang Boli participated in this kind of thing, Wang Lanling should be in charge.

Sooner or later, he will meddle in the usury business, and he can't let those people continue to lend.

In this bullshit place, there are too many things to manage, and Wang Lanling is still focusing on water conservancy.

"Then you go back to Heishui County with me, I'll give you a room to live in, although the weather is not cold now, it's not good for children to continue to live under the bridge cave."

The woman quickly thanked her, and quickly said to the children kneeling behind: "Hurry up and kowtow to the adults, thank you, adults!" ”

Wang Lanling asked these people to get up, gave them time to get their luggage, and at the same time realized that it would be better for them to dress normally if they traveled in the future.

The common people always think that there are good officials in this world.
