Zou Erlang and Xu Feihu fell silent when they heard this.

As for the second master, the third master, Min Hongyu is still staying in Wulingpo at this time.

Obviously, in addition to Ling Tong, the entire Three Tiger Village can also be Wang Ying, Zou Erlang, and Xu Feihu can enter the eyes of Nanke.

As for the others, Nan Ke didn't bother to look at it, and as for the opportunity to mend his ways, they were casual.

Seeing that Nan Ke showed his sincerity after three rounds of drinking.

Wang Ying was also the first to respond: "So, I have also changed from a bandit to an officer and soldier?" Grandpa Guo, as long as you don't dislike it, press it is the gun in your hand, and I will shoot wherever you ask me to shoot. ”

Seeing that Wang Yingdu was coming, Xu Feihu just hugged his fists and wanted to say something.

Nan Ke interrupted them, for fear that the goods would burst out with a sentence of "I am the same".

"You don't have to be in a hurry to make a statement, there is still a long time to storm the eight stockades, and if you are still alive after this and are willing to do things with me, you can come back together, and if you are not willing, take down the eighth house, and you can leave on your own." Nan Ke said again.

Again, a twisted melon is not sweet.

If you want these people to really help Nan Ke do things, you have to let them taste the sweetness.

Forced submissions don't make any sense.

Hearing this, Zou Erlang, whose face was not very good, also hugged his fists and said, "Grandpa Guo is benevolent and righteous." ”

Then a few people didn't talk about it, and continued to be busy pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

Just when the atmosphere of everyone's dining was getting stronger.

One of them ran over happily.

"Grandpa Guo, the matter of land measurement is over."

The person who came was none other than Hu Hai, the magistrate of Yongping County.

For this dog official, Nan Ke has a grudge with him for a day or two.

Nan Ke is based on the principle of just starting out in his career, and for this kind of misbehaving, Nan Ke is a little more patient.

Not to mention, in contact with Hu Hai, this person can be regarded as half of his own lieutenant general.

When he was picking up Zhang, Wang, Sun, and Li, he helped Nan Ke solve the problem of insufficient funds.

pleaded Wang Ying to blackmail himself, and helped Nan Ke solve the problem of insufficient soldiers.

With Wang Ying and their mercenaries, Nan Ke can also take the lead in cleaning up the small forces around Montenegro.

Therefore, even if Nan Ke knew that this Hu Hai had been stumbling on his family, he still loved and hated him.

"Hu Zhixian, do you recognize these people here?" Nan Ke suddenly laughed and groaned.

Because it was already a little late, and then the lights, Hu Hai looked at the few people present, none of them were familiar, so he shook his head and said, "I don't recognize it, but it's a high-ranking official from Kyoto?" ”

"How can you not know it? There is one person here who has a deep relationship with you, could it be that the person surnamed Wang is lying to me? Nan Ke was also a little puzzled.

Wang Ying was still silent, but Nan Ke questioned his credibility.

Wang Ying was anxious at the time, and said: "Grandpa Guo, I am wronged, it is really this thing that this trustee asked me to do, otherwise I would not have made you rich, and I dare not ask you for it." ”

Seeing Wang Ying's bare face, Hu Hai was also a little confused, and wondered: "Are you?" ”

"Hey, Lao Tzu, you are Grandpa Wang Ying, you forgot about letting me extort Grandpa Guo's five hundred gold?" Wang Ying got up, pointed to Hu Hai's nose and said.

Hu Hai wanted to deny it, but looking at Nan Ke's smiling appearance, and then thinking of the contact with Nan Ke at this time, he could only stubbornly say: "Grandpa Guo, this matter is a misunderstanding...... There was a little servant in my family who found out that I had given you four hundred gold, and he was prying on me, saying that he could find someone to help me get the money back, and that he would only have to give half of it to those people when the time came.

I was angry, so I sent God to believe him, but I didn't ask him to ask for five hundred gold, and he must have been in charge of this matter. ”

"Hu Hai, Hu Hai, I spared your life, you still die repeatedly, what do you say I should say about your goodness!" Nan Ke stared at him, his clothes hated the appearance of iron but not steel.

Hu Hai's calves were weak, and he knelt directly on the ground, and said, "Grandpa Guo spares my life, I'm really confused for a while." ”

Saying that, Hu Hai's tears and snot poured out.

This scene seems to have Nan Ke done something to him, but Nan Ke didn't do anything.

Shouldn't it be Nan Ke who should be wronged?

And I don't know if Gao said that this Hu Hai is small or bold.

Say he's timid, he dares to do anything big, say he's bold, but whenever something happens, whoever kneels will kneel, and snot and tears are squeezed out one by one.

"Get up, this matter is the same as the previous incident, and I will trouble you later. Give me something. Nan Ke sighed.

Hu Hai hurriedly approached him, handed the drawn map to Nan Ke, and said: "The census is not finished yet, it may take a few days, so I will show you the drawn land first." ”

Hearing this, Nan Ke took it and glanced at it, and said: "It's not too early today, so you should rest early, there should be a lot of things to do tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he picked up his glass and gestured to everyone, and then drank it all and left.

Seeing that Nan Ke was gone, everyone also dispersed.

With Jiao Jin and the lame man's arrangement, it was not a problem for several of them to live, and they dispersed.

Wang Ying still wanted to find trouble with Hu Hai, but when he saw Nan Ke, he didn't say anything, but pointed his finger at him before leaving.

After returning to his residence, Nan Ke picked up a large number of maps in his hand.

Even if this Yongping County is said to be a mountain city, it is not too much, there are many mountains and few plains.

There is very little arable land available, if it were not for the Guang Dynasty to open up Daliang Mountain and transport the grain and vegetables of Changning County, Yongping County would be able to feed itself, which would be a laborious matter.

In earlier times, the enclave of Yongping County was even zoned in the Black Mountain.

At this time, even if it is separated from Montenegro, it is still inseparable from Montenegro, only to add a capital poverty.

Nan Ke looked, this Yongping County was almost divided into two pieces.

The vicinity of Daliang Mountain and Dawan Lake is a large area of useful cultivated land.

In Wulingpo, Qixialing, and Guidao Trail, Yongping County is almost separated from it, and the south is the county seat of Yongping County and the surrounding people.

Although there is a lot of arable land, there is a shortage of water resources.

Although there is Xiaowan Lake in Yongping County, the water of Xiaowan Lake is only enough for the people to use, and it is not enough to drink water for irrigation.

Does the south side have to rely on a stream in the mountains to store a little water?

Thinking of this, Nan Ke pondered another possibility, or teach them to grow some drought-tolerant crops?

Are there potatoes and sweet potatoes in this world? Isn't that what everyone else does?

It's better to get some gold or something, and the output will go up.

"Grandpa Guo, have you slept?" Pan Feng's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Hearing this, Nan Ke put down the map in his hand, walked over and opened the door, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I've already asked it." Pan Feng replied.

When they returned, a car thief was caught in the town of Shema.

In the end, the thing amplified the words, saying that he had a relationship in Montenegro.

Nan Ke was busy at the time, and he didn't have time to study this matter in detail, so he arrested him back first, and by the way, let Pan Feng and them pry this person's mouth.

Let's see if we can pry something out.

I didn't think it would work.

"What is this person's background?" Nanke asked.

"He has a little to do with the Red Falcon Village, and he is the eyeliner of the Red Falcon Village in Shema Town, and sometimes he helps the people of the Red Falcon Village to do something." Pan Feng replied.

Nan Ke thought for a while and said, "What did he do for the people of Red Falcon Village?" ”

"Then Zheng Wu said that the people from Chi Falcon Village, let him help keep an eye on the passing caravans, and let him inquire about the relationship between our Yongping County." Pan Feng said again.

"Okay, I know, since this person is indeed doing things with the people in Montenegro, just deal with it casually, and just give him his house to stand directly." Nanke nodded.

Then he explained some things, and Pan Feng left in a hurry.

As soon as Pan Feng was sent away, Yuan Ci came over.

"Uncle Yuan, why are you here?" Nanke asked.

"What kind of people did you get back today, they don't look like good people, we are Dingguo Gong, after all, we are officials of the Guang Dynasty, you have to think about your own reputation when you do things, if you always make friends with these indiscreet people, after being told about it, the reputation of our Dingguo Mansion is not very good." Yuan Ci said.

Hearing this, Nan Ke also knew Yuan Ci's concerns, so he took his hand and said, "Uncle Yuan, where do you want to go." The young man, who used to be a big family in Ba County, was hiding in the Black Mountain because he was in refuge.

Except for him, although they are in Montenegro, they have been captured by me, and now they are only my labor.

I pretended to be close to them, just so that they could do their best to help me suppress the bandits, and the ultimate goal was to deal with these bandits in Montenegro. ”

"What you say is true?" Yuan Ci will be skeptical.

"Can I still lie to you?"

Yuan Ci thought for a while and said: "But these robbers on the Black Mountain have existed for many years, the Lion Bull Dynasty doesn't care, the people of Xingang don't care, and even the previous Marquis of Changping can't take care of it, why do you have to trouble them?" ”

"I have my plan, they don't care about Montenegro because they don't have the energy and no interests! But we are like this now, if we don't want to do something, what will we do to raise the Dingzhou Army, and if we do the next military exercise, we will be at the bottom? There is no land to be cut, is it criticized by fellow citizens? Nanke said.

"Alas, you have really grown up, and some of your own ideas are very good! But you are now the pillar of Dingguo Gong, think about what to do, and when the things at hand are over, Duoduo and Zhenguo Gong repair the relationship, it is best to make a marriage with Youmeng, and then add a son to Dingguo Gong. Yuan Ci said again.

When Nan Ke heard this, he felt inexplicably familiar.

The rhythm of urging marriage seems familiar.

"I know, I know, when the matter at hand is solved, I will do it first." Nan Ke said perfunctorily.

After sending Yuan Ci away, Nan Ke continued to look at the map for a while, and couldn't figure out a single one, so he fell asleep straight down.

When I wake up tomorrow, I will discuss it with Bai Shuyu and them.

After dawn on the second day, Nan Ke and the others had a meal, and then drove to Wulingpo with Old Man Shi.

At this time, Nan Ke regretted a little, he made Wuling Slope so far, and he was very tired from running around all day.

After coming to Wulingpo, Nan Ke began to arrange the first thing.

Montenegro bandits.

Today's suppression of bandits, Wang Ying, Zou Erlang, and Xu Feihu are the main forces, after all, they are all familiar with Montenegro, plus fifty or sixty backbones.

Secondly, there are Pan Feng and Shi Jin, plus a kind of people from Shijia Village, and part of the Dingzhou army.

Of course, this team of bandits is naturally headed by Pan Feng, after all, Pan Feng is also Nan Ke's descendant.

It's just that when they were about to leave, Ling Tong said that he would accompany them.

"Just let them go, be careful, there should be no problem with some ordinary houses." Nan Ke dissuaded.

Ling Tong said expressionlessly: "My sister specially explained to me and asked me to take care of my brother-in-law. ”

With this excuse, Nan Ke couldn't stop him, and said, "In that case, you can go with them!" ”

After sending away the bandits, Nan Ke summoned Bai Shuyu to him again, directly spread out the map, and said: "Shuyu, come and take a look, this is the map of Yongping County, what do you think is the best route if you build a canal." ”

Bai Shuyu heard the words and leaned over, and Ge Dadi also came to him, but he was a little dizzy when he saw this picture, and he was defeated after a while.

About a quarter of an hour later, Bai Shuyu put down the map in his hand and said, "Although this map is very good, there are still some things that are still not clearly marked, that is, the topography of Yongping County. ”

"You go on." Nan Ke nodded.

Bai Shuyu said and drew a line on the map, saying: "The topography of Yongping County is high in the north and low in the south. If a canal is built to divert water, Dawan Lake is the only option. After all, the water goes lower. (The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is a god-level project, not listed)

"Well, I also thought of this last night, there is Dawan Lake in the north, so as long as the canal is repaired, and whoever from Dawan Lake is brought over.

But after the generation of Wulingpo and Qixialing, there is no water source, and there is no water to lead! Nanke sighed lightly.

"Then directly lead the water of Dawan Lake to Xiaowan Lake, and let these sister lakes be connected together." Bai Shuyu said.

Nan Ke thought for a moment when he heard this, and said, "How to lead?" There are Wuling Slope and Qixia Ridge, which are blocked by heaven, and there is no way to lead it! ”

"Just take the turtle path, since the person walks, the water must be passable." Bai Shuyu replied.

Hearing this, Nan Ke also thought of a possibility.

The Turtle Trail is also the best route to take the aqueduct, but if it is to be converted into a canal, pedestrians will not be able to pass through.

After all, this turtle path is not very wide.

"If the canal occupies the Turtle Path, but it will directly take Yongping County, what will the pedestrians who pass by in the future?" Nanke asked.

Hearing this, Bai Shuyu laughed and said: "Back then, Taizu was impassable, so he directly led people to dig out the Daliang Mountain Road, why don't you follow Taizu's example, and directly open the mountain and split the road!"

What's more, after connecting Dawan Lake and Xiaowan Lake, not only can irrigation cover the entire Yongping County, but also have an additional benefit. ”
