Chapter 85: A Distinguished Guest's Visit
End of March.
The weather has warmed up a lot, and today is a rare day with a big sun.
Yang Wenhua put a few reclining chairs on the embankment of the reservoir, and was lying on them at this time, looking at the motionless fish floating, and yawned boredly.
The panda was on the recliner on Yang Wenhua's right hand, gnawing on bamboo shoots, and the bamboo leaves that had been lost around him had been eating for half an hour, and there was no intention of stopping.
Yang Sanmei was on the recliner on Yang Wenhua's left hand, although she was also holding a small fishing rod in her hand, she kept looking around, and her mind was not on the fish float at all.
"Sir, sweet potatoes, corn, and peppers have all been transplanted, and the rye is more than a foot tall.
There are tens of thousands of chickens and ducks, but some of them have died recently, and a lot of bacon has been purchased.
The production of porcelain kilns has stabilized, and it is barely able to break even, but the grain is still being exchanged. ”
The lieutenant stood aside respectfully, and reported the situation to Yang Wenhua these days, and after talking for a long time.
Finally, the governor talked about the people who had been coming down the creek lately, and had been coming here to ask for the reservoir to be opened up.
Due to the lack of spring rains this year, it is only the end of March, and the drought situation is already beginning to appear.
Earlier, it was just the villagers and the lieutenant who came downstream, and yesterday there were already officials over, although they were afraid of Yang Wenhua's prestige, and they said politely, but Yang Wenhua also needed to make a decision.
"You go and tell Zheng Yuansheng that the drought will continue in the future, and this little water will not solve the problem."
After pondering for a moment, Yang Wenhua continued: "It is impossible to release the water, let Zheng Yuansheng count how much land is under this creek, and don't plant it this year."
After the autumn harvest, I will supply them according to the grain production in other places in Guanzhong. ”
After that, Yang Wenhua explained to the governor again, and asked him to keep the livestock shed clean and tidy, so as to reduce some mortality rates, and usually read more books on breeding covers given by himself.
After leaving the embankment, the lieutenant went to the breeding shed on the edge of the reservoir to give an explanation, and then took a few subordinates and a mule to prepare to go to the county government of Lantian County to discuss the matter of releasing water from the reservoir.
The long meatball-like body riding on a big mule looked a little funny, but he didn't feel it at all, looking at the endless fields and the people working in the fields, he was even more proud.
The fairy lord generally doesn't care about things, these are all his own decisions, follow the lord to do things, not only a lot of money, but also great power, what kind of crime suffered some time ago, now it seems that he has earned it.
After the lieutenant had not been long away, he watched from a distance as an ox cart came from the opposite side.
Although Yang Wenhua asked him to build the road a little wider earlier, how wide can this kind of country road be?
An old man with gray hair was driving in front of the cart, and an even older man was dragged behind it.
The old man in the back not only has white hair, but also has a strange face, in this era when you can call yourself an old man at the age of thirty, such a person can be called Renrui, and he belongs to the kind of person who kills people and does not break the law.
Looking at the ox cart that came over, and the people on the ox cart, the lieutenant secretly screamed, and hurriedly found a fork in the road, driving the mule in and waiting to avoid it.
Even if there is an immortal standing behind him, such a person Rui, the chief feels that he can't be provoked.
You must know that if you live for a long time in this era, you must be a pampered person, you are an ordinary farmer, you are already weakened before you are old, and you are riddled with all kinds of diseases, and if you can live to the age of fifty, you will be considered lucky, and there is a chance to do what people are.
After the ox cart staggered over, it did not continue on, but stopped at the fork in the road where the chief was.
Seeing that this might be about to question him, the chief quickly slipped off the mule and saluted, "What do you command, old gentleman?" ”
The old man sitting behind the ox cart nodded, and expressed his satisfaction with the captain's respect, "The old man has nothing to do to walk around, seeing that you are dressed casually, you should be the Zhengyang fruit here, right?"
Where are you going, what are you doing? ”
"Back to the old man's words, the villain is the Yang Guo in this place, and the villain is on the order of the master of the door, ready to go to the county office." Yang Guo's attitude is still respectful.
"Although you should not be a subordinate of others, you should consider the identity of the owner of this place, but it is understandable, let's just tell me what you are doing when you go to the county office?"
The old man frowned at first, and then thought of Yang Wenhua's identity, and he was relieved.
"...... this?"
Li Chang Yang Guo was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell the old man the details of his matter, although it was not a secret, but it was not good to tell others casually.
Otherwise, it was supposed to subsidize a few miles downstream, but as soon as the news spread, the entire downstream came to make trouble, and there were not many people who needed subsidies.
Seeing that the lieutenant hesitated, the young old man who was sitting in front of him at this time threw a small seal and shouted: "Just say what you want, you can't say anything to people, the old man is the new Lantian County Commander Li Shaozhi." ”
Li Chang Yang Guo hurriedly caught Xiaoyin and looked at it, and immediately said in fear: "It turned out that it was the county magistrate in front of him, and it was the villain who was rude."
My lord asked the villain to discuss with the county magistrate, and the water in the reservoir will not be put down, because the drought will continue, and even if the water is put down, it will not solve the problem.
However, my lord promised that after the autumn harvest, he could give some appropriate compensation to the world downstream of the creek according to the average harvest in Guanzhong this year. ”
After listening to Yang Guo's words, Li Shaozhi asked with some displeasure: "Your master is so sure that there will be a big drought in Guanzhong this year?"
If you survive the present, the wind and rain will be smooth next month, what will happen to your lord at that time? ”
"Then my lord will compensate them more."
Yang Guo said this sentence without thinking about it, full of confidence, because his master has money, a lot of money, and he can't eat enough food.
"You ......."
Li Shaozhi was so stunned by Yang Guo's words that he almost choked to death, it's great to be rich?
At this time, the old man in the back knocked on the wheel of the car with a cane, "Okay, you have an argument with someone else, aren't you idle?"
Let's keep going, what's the matter, it's not too late to wait until you see the master here. ”
"What my father taught me is that I lost my word."
Hearing his father's reprimand, Li Shaozhi hurriedly turned around and saluted back.
The old man didn't pay attention to Li Shaozhi anymore, but said to Yang Guo: "You are fast, just take the first step, go back and tell your master, and say that the old man Li Gang and his son Li Shaozhi are visiting."
If your master doesn't welcome it, then trouble you to come back and tell me, and the old man won't continue to go and ask for fun. ”
