The female guards brought by Su Yin had their own men to lead them to eat elsewhere, but the private room was quiet and tidy, with exquisite cups and plates. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After a while, Mrs. Cui said first, "First of all, thank Master Li for saving his life twice with thin wine." ”

After drinking it all, Li Yin couldn't excuse himself, and he wanted to drink a full cup.

But Mrs. Cui stretched out her hand and stopped, "Today, Master Li is only allowed to drink three full cups, and you can listen to me before drinking." Su Yin and Lirong didn't know what Mrs. meant, they were a little strange, because they didn't know how much Li Yin had drunk.

But Li Yin heard Cui Ying's concern, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart - he was only able to have three cups. Listen to Cui's words again, "Congratulations again to Master Li for being promoted to the lower rank of the sixth rank." I know that this is only the taste of the governor's history, but it is still low compared to Lord Li's ability, and I hope that Lord Li will be steady and good officials for the country and the people from now on! ”

After that, the lady raised her glass and drank it again, and Su Yin and Lirong hurriedly accompanied her.

But when Li Yin was about to drink the wine in his cup again, he was interrupted by his wife, "Master Li, you drink slowly." And I have to talk to Su Changshi about what plans he has after being promoted to the position of water envoy of the six counties. If you say that, you will be allowed to drink half a cup. If you can't talk about it, you can only eat vegetables. ”

Li Yinyile, his expression relaxed a lot, and after really eating a spoonful of vegetables, he said, "Mrs. Cui, when the villain heard this letter at first glance, he didn't have much preparation, which six counties in Qianzhou are, and the villain can't say it comprehensively." ”

Mrs. said, "It's okay, when you think of where to speak, when you can't say it comprehensively, my maid will check it for you." ”

Xiao Yahuan also followed up to the private room, sitting next to Lirong at this time, just the closest to Li Yin, she listened to Mrs. Niang's words, understood, and got up to give Cui's, Su Yin, and Lirong full of wine.

Li Yindao, Qianzhou is mountainous, drought-resistant and requires water, so there is only one way to lead water uphill. If it is all relied on manpower to carry the burden and draw water, it will work hard and the effect is poor.

Mrs. Cui asked, "Does Master Li still want to use the method of Duwei?" ”

Li Yin nodded yes, although he couldn't say the name of the county in Qianzhou, but he knew what big rivers there were in the territory: Pengshui River, Yangshui River, Wujiang River...... Although the water level of the major rivers has dropped this year, the construction of tall waterwheels along the river, equipped with stone aqueducts, can lead the water to the top of the mountain.

Lirong asked, "Master Li, how much does this have to cost, and there is plenty of time?" ”

Li said, "From the river to the mountains, there are not a few waterwheels used to build canals on flat land; Besides, Qianzhou is full of stones, and it is easier to use local materials than to run away with a burden. In addition, carrying water to fight drought is only worth a few days, and people have to work non-stop. However, the construction of canals is a long-term solution, once and for all. ”

As soon as a few people heard this truth, Su Yin said, it is easy to say that the flat ground is good, but the project on the mountain is big.

Li Yin said, "In short, I have to blame Master Shi for being too big, and the wasteland is too much!" To lead water uphill, you need to have a waterwheel on each level to lift water, but you don't need a waterwheel to release water down the mountain! As long as I choose the key mountains that can be connected to the surrounding mountains because of the topography, although I can't achieve it overnight, I can protect dozens or hundreds of hectares of mountainous land by occupying one mountain. It's better than looking at the sky to eat. ”

Mrs. Cui is still not at ease, "It has been repaired so much in a month, and it is a waterwheel and a stone canal, I'm afraid there is not enough time, right?" ”

Li said, "Madam, of course one month is not enough, in fact, the first month is focused on replenishing seedlings, moving seedlings from low-lying clusters to high places, watering and protecting moisture, and at the same time stepping up the construction of water conservancy, then I will have more than a month to start construction, and there will be fewer and fewer people who carry water." ”

Cui Shi then raised his glass and said, "Master Li, you can drink it this time." ”

Yahuan saw Master Li Yin holding a cup in both hands, just like the last time she ate tea, and swallowed the wine without frowning.

Li Yin said again, "Madame doesn't know, the villain's biggest worry at this time is that Deqian can't convince the public." But the time is urgent, if the county officials slack off, this month will be mixed, and the harvest in Qianzhou will have to wait for the next year! ”

Cui Shi said, "There is a master, I am not worried about this." I don't worry about the money, the money donated by Taizhou and Yuhang is in the hands of my two daughters-in-law, and Master Li can only do his best. ”

At this time, Mrs. Cui had already drunk several cups, and in order to cheer Li Yin up, she said to him again, "A water envoy from six counties...... It is not a serious official order, I have heard the news that if Qianzhou has achieved great results in fighting drought, the position of governor of Qianzhou will not be much difficult for Master Li. ”

Mrs. Cui was taken aback by this, and asked involuntarily, "Mother, did my father reveal this to you?" Cui Shi realized that he was drunk and talked too much, so it was inconvenient to explain, so he just said to Lirong, "Don't talk to the master." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone cautiously knocked on the door of the private room, and then several wealthy gentry from Duwei County, as well as two or three scholars, came in with wine glasses.

The first person rushed to the ground at the Li County Order, "The county commander is diligent in government affairs and loves the people like a son, especially the drought-fighting achievements of Duwei County are obvious to all, and I want to protect it in the coming year!" Tonight, when we saw Mr. Li coming upstairs, we thought about coming to have a cup of toast and express our gratitude. ”

Li Yin said, "Inherit more and be good!" But with the two ladies of Mrs. Thorn Shi and the Governor of Xizhou here, there is no reason to drink under it. At the suggestion of the lower officer, we will honor the three ladies together. ”

At that time, a few people who came up also secretly had this intention, they had already seen the two beautiful ladies from Xizhou coming in and out of Duwei, and today they just used the topic to play and only take the Li County Order to talk about things.

But it can also be seen from this incident that the officials and people of Duwei County are harmonious.

The respect of everyone in the room for the people below was not easy to shirk, and Li Yin drank it with Mrs. Cui, Su Yin, and Lirong. And Li Yin was the second glass of wine at this time.

Mrs. Cui looked at him with her eyes, and saw that his face was as usual, and he was still talking and laughing, so she was relieved.

It is a scholar who said, "The villain is very presumptuous, just a few villains are talking about poetry at the bottom, I don't know who has a difficult problem - only four lines of poetry, which must have both 'song, song', 'wind, flower', 'gold, jade', and 'guan, pass', 'saddle, stirrup' words, we have chanted a lot of always unsatisfactory!" I suddenly remembered the legend that Su Changshi, the eighth lady of the Governor of Xizhou, was a talented woman, and if she could be taught, it would become a good story in Qianzhou. ”

Another said, "No wonder we are stupid, the words of Guan Pass and Saddle Stirrup are really masculine, and the wind flowers and songs are another kind of emotion, and it is not so difficult to do them separately, but it is even more difficult to put together four sentences." ”

"Let's think about it, isn't Xizhou just west of Yangguan, and Tianshan Ranch has a saddle stirrup?" In addition, the chief pastoral supervisor and the governor of the capital Gao sang triumphantly and the horses stepped on the flowers, wouldn't this poem just happen to be written in Xizhou. ”

Lirong said secretly, "You people are trying to make things difficult, and you are so loyal, but I don't know how Sister Su will get through this difficulty." ”

Cui Shi also smiled and encouraged, and Li Yin also seemed to have expectations, I don't know what kind of talent I can make up four sentences in a short time.

But Su Yin waited for them to speak before they could speak, so he chanted four sentences: "The song is sad for the nocturne, and the pass is not Xiguan." The wind swings the golden stirrup, and the flower is inserted with a saddle. ”

Those people were stunned for a moment, and then they praised in unison, and Mrs. Cui was also surprised, it came so quickly!

There are a total of twenty words in five words and four sentences, and the words wind, flowers, songs, songs, guan, passes, saddles, stirrups and other words mentioned above account for half of them, and they are used by her a lot, and the poetry is unique.

These four lines of poetry seem to describe the scene of Shi Qianzhou, the female governor of Xizhou, but Lirong firmly heard the meaning of the word "sorrow" in her first sentence.
