Xie Zhi just came to Yunzhong to inspect Xue Zhuang, and he can be regarded as having feelings for Xue Zhuang.

Therefore, in the application of pumping, windmills and cement canals are carried out in Xuezhuang.

Just when Xie Zhi led the people of Xuezhuang to lay the cement canal, a mighty team of people and horses appeared in Xuezhuang with great momentum.

It is said that these people are aggressive, but in fact, they are a little reluctant, these people are just some old and weak women and children, and there is really no deterrent.

Although Xie Zhi said that his hands did not touch the spring water, he could also bend down, just as when he was in charge of laying a canal, the black crowd behind him blocked the sun.

Xie Zhi got up, looked at these people in front of him, and looked at the people who seemed to be some familiar faces, the corners of his mouth rose, and a smile was pulled, and he asked, "Where have you seen this brother?" ”

The man's originally forcible smile disappeared in an instant, his face was a little dark, and he reported his name and said, "In the next century, there was righteousness." ”

Xie Zhi was stunned for a long time, but he didn't expect that this former righteousness was sacred.

He Liang, who was on the side, saw the blankness on his face, and stepped forward and replied, "Young Master, Mr. Zeng once won the second place on the occasion of the autumn season. ”

As soon as he said this, Xie Zhi immediately remembered.

This Zeng Yi slandered Wu Kuan and gave Xie Zhi the question after the autumn season, so that Xie Zhi was able to understand the yuan.

At that time, it was precisely because of this incident that Xie Zhi wrote five policy treatises in one breath at the gate of the Gongyuan, and laid a reputation for being talented and quick-witted.

And this former righteousness was removed because of this.

In this way, Xie Zhi has to thank this once righteous person.

Although, this Zeng Yi seems to have some unclear relationship with the Zhou family.

Xie Zhi immediately pulled up a smile and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Zeng, fortunately, fortunately..."

Zeng Yi no longer had a smile on his face, and said lukewarmly: "The nobles of Xie Zhi County are so forgetful, Zeng Mou doesn't dare to be it, today Zeng Mou came to be entrusted by the magistrate of Daying, and he was a dignitary of Xie Zhi County." ”

Thinking of Zeng Yi's identity, Xie Zhi thought that he had brought such a group of old and weak women and children to touch porcelain.

He said that he was an important person, but Xie Zhi was a little puzzled.

Xie Zhi has been making these things behind closed doors for more than ten days, and after he came out, he was busy putting them into practice, and he really didn't know much about what was happening in the county.

"Someone, who?" Xie Zhi subconsciously blurted out.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Xie Zhi said that these were really unintentional, but he didn't expect that Zeng Yi was angry, and said coldly: "Xie Zhixian detained forty or fifty young men in my camp, and he pretended not to know for a few days?" If Xie Zhixian didn't admit it, Zeng could only help the old and the young to go to Beijing. ”

As for it? If you have the ability, go now.

Since Zeng Yi was so polite, then Xie Zhi naturally didn't need to give him a good face, and instructed He Liang behind him: "Go find Wang Xiancheng." ”

During this period of time, Wang Shouren was responsible for everything in the county, and if he wanted to solve this matter, Xie Zhi had to understand the cause and effect of the matter.

Since Xuezhuang is a pilot, Wang Shouren is naturally also in Xuezhuang.

Soon, Wang Shouren appeared in front of Xie Zhi.

When Wang Shouren came, He Liang had already explained the origin of the matter, and when he saw Zeng Yi, Wang Shouren's attitude was very bad, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhixian, I don't know who is walking the rumors, saying that the current drought in several places in the Guannai is related to the ceramic workshop in our county, there are forty or fifty people who went to the ceramic workshop to make trouble, injured five or six officials, and suffered some injuries in the next place, these are not mentioned for the time being, the most feared thing at the time of the catastrophe is the rumors flying, so the rumors will inevitably cause panic among the people." ”

Xie Zhi knew what Wang Shouren was dealing with, how could he leave a handle for people.

Even if those people in Daying County dared to rush into his ceramic workshop to make trouble, this matter was not so easy to solve.

Xie Zhi's face was slightly gloomy, and said: "Then it will be offended, the people of Daying County may not be able to let go of this county, the most important thing at this time is to fight drought, this county does not care about dealing with this matter, and when the drought eases, this county will deal with it, as for the matter of my pottery workshop in the clouds, you Daying County also has to give this county an explanation, in addition, if there are rumors about the drought caused by the pottery workshop, your Daying is the first place to spread rumors, don't blame the county for not being emotional, as for you, if you want to go to Jingshi, this county will not stop you, just go." ”

Xie Zhi didn't give Zeng Yi a chance to breathe, and ordered: "He Liang, order He Sanyou to lead the clouds to guard the workshops and ditches in the clouds, this is the property of the imperial court, and those who destroy this place are enemies of the imperial court, and they will be dealt with as rebellion, no matter who they are, they will be killed on the spot." ”

This order was very domineering, and He Liang was also very bold when he received the order, and replied: "Yes, the villain understands." ”

After He Liang acted, Xie Zhi was not polite to Zeng Yi, and said directly: "This county will not send it, so let it be." ”

Dropping this sentence, Xie Zhi raised his leg and left.

Originally, Zeng Yi wanted to exchange the tears of these old and weak women and children for some sympathy for himself, but he didn't expect that before he could make a big move, he was generalized.

He once begged for shamelessness and had to go back the same way, and he was fully convinced that if he stayed in the clouds, he might really be killed on the spot.

As for when Zeng Yi left, Xie Zhi didn't care, he sweated and worked with the people in the clouds for four or five days, and the ditches were finally dug, and the well water also flowed out of the wells and slowly irrigated the fields.

There is only one well in the whole village, which is really a bit of a mistake.

By the time all the irrigation is finished, the time for spring plowing has long passed.

It is not only irrigation that can affect spring ploughing, but also the autumn harvest if sowing is delayed.

Looking at the flowing well water, the people of Xuezhuang cheered.

Zhang Liutong bent his back, his face was full of wrinkles and squeezed together, and said: "Master Zhixian, with this cement irrigation, it is really a lot faster." ”

Xie Zhizi is also very proud, he has crossed over, if he doesn't cross, then he can also mix.

Just because of this, Xie Zhi's popularity doesn't know how much it has risen.

Seeing that the irrigation was stable, Xie Zhi said directly to Wang Shouren: "One well in each village is far from enough, mobilize manpower to dig wells, it is best to complete the full irrigation within one month, in this way, it is about four or five days late from the spring ploughing in previous years, and the impact is basically not big." ”

Xie Zhi said the truth, Wang Shouren replied: "With these things that have come first, there is no need to call too much, and the enthusiasm of the people will be high." ”

Although Xie Zhi is only a county in the clouds, he also has the world in mind.

It is not enough to solve the drought in the clouds, and it is necessary to solve the drought in other counties as soon as possible.

The key to solving this problem is to have enough cement.

Therefore, increasing the production of cement is also a heavy one.

Of course, the production of cement also requires labor and cost, and these cements will not be given to those places in vain.

Naturally, the people who occupy the land in the counties will not be ordinary people, and whoever occupies more land will get this silver.

This cement Xie Zhi will definitely give a conscience price, compared with the output of fertile land, this silver will not be much.

"Another thing, increase the output of the cement workshop, support the other places to fight the drought, Brother Shouren, the county's affairs, you are responsible for a few days, you have to go to Beijing, and exchange my experience of drought fighting in the clouds with Your Majesty, and other places must also dig ditches and drill wells as soon as possible, otherwise, spring plowing is bound to be affected."

Xie Zhi is just a small magistrate, and he has no summons, so he really can't enter Beijing casually.

However, now that the matter is urgent, Xie Zhi can't take care of it so much.

Wang Shouren did not object, and admitted: "Don't worry, the affairs of the county will be handled properly." ”

Wang Shouren followed Xie Zhi to Yunzhong, not only to govern a county, but also to make a county rich and a country.

If Xie Zhi only cares about the clouds and doesn't care about other places, Wang Shouren will probably be dissatisfied in his heart.

Xie Zhi did not delay after communicating with Wang Shouren, and rushed to Beijing on the same day.

When Xie Zhi arrived in Jingshi, it was already when the palace gate was about to be locked.

After Xie Zhi reported his name, he met Emperor Hongzhi through layers of reports.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was anxious because of the great drought, and he was still busy dealing with it in the warm pavilion.
