A day later, the news that Xiahe Village was going to repair the embankment in winter spread all over the country.

Early in the morning, Cheng Chubi, Di Renjie, Wei Yuanzhong and Wang Xiaojie blocked Gao Sheng, who was about to go out, at home.

"Third brother, a certain has mastered the tempering steps, if the third brother has nothing to do, he should go and make a contribution to repairing the river embankment."

Cheng Chubi shook off his stubborn style, and actually yelled at him to participate in the winter repair of the river embankment in Xiahe Village.

Gao Sheng looked at Cheng Chubi, rolled his eyes, and said, "Have you ever picked up a hoe or transported soil?" ”

Cheng Chubi was dumbfounded and frowned, from childhood to adulthood, this food came to open his mouth and his clothes to stretch his hands, and he really didn't participate in any labor.

Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong are also similar to Cheng Chubi, and their family backgrounds are quite good, but Wang Xiaojie is the only one who fought from the bottom.

The four of them were eager to try, and Gao Sheng knew that it was very unlikely that the four of them would not be allowed to repair the river embankment.

It's just that the four of them have to stay, because he has more important things for them to do.

"Sir, the repair of the river embankment in Xiahe Village is a good thing for the future, how can it be without us?" Wei Yuanzhong stepped forward and said to him.

"Third brother, let's go, anyway, the quenching and tempering of the four of us have already mastered it, and there is a lack of manpower to repair the river embankment at the moment, how can we do nothing and not contribute?"

Humpty Dumpty Di Renjie looked at him with a smile, and spoke a lot more tactfully.

"Most of the farm tools used to repair the river embankment in Xiahe Village are made of wood, but the weather is cold at the moment, the land is frozen and stiff, and the efficiency of wooden farm tools is definitely low."

Gao Sheng did not directly explain to the four people why they couldn't go, but talked about the farming tools of the farmers and the actual situation of repairing the river embankment in winter.

Wei Yuanzhong nodded and said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, ordinary iron farm tools cost at least fifty wen a piece, and the price of steel tools is higher, how can ordinary farmers afford to use them?" ”

Di Renjie took over the conversation and said: "In this way, if the repair of the embankment in Xiahe Village is carried out with wooden farm tools, I am afraid that the repair will not be completed after the beginning of spring." ”

And Wang Xiaojie, who didn't talk much, just nodded, looking at Gao Sheng with blazing eyes, waiting for him to decide.

Smart people are always easy to explain, Di Renjie, Wei Yuanzhong and Wang Xiaojie seem to understand why Gao Sheng said this.

Gao Sheng continued: "Therefore, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, so that the farmers can use tools made of good steel as soon as possible, but it depends on the four of you!" ”

Among the four people, except for Cheng Chubi, the other three are all smart people, so as not to waste his saliva and explain more.

Wei Yuanzhong sighed, bowed, and said to him: "Sir, wake up the dreamer, I will know what I am more suitable for." ”

Gao Sheng smiled, took out the drawings of the new farm tools that had been prepared long ago from his arms, handed them to the four of them, and said, "According to the pictures, you will go and forge some pickaxes, hoes, shovels, as well as hammers, steel drills, and steel chisels for the use of the villagers." ”

"Okay, I'll go now!"

Wei Yuanzhong, a former thorn, has become a high-rise brain-dead fan, and he is the first to respond.

Before, he admired Gao Sheng's talent at most, but at this moment, he admired Gao Sheng's character, and one person undertook the cost of repairing the river embankment, and also provided steel farm tools to facilitate the construction of the village, how much emotion does this have to be such a hero?

It is commendable that a county man can do this for the villagers, and he will naturally gain his respect.

As an official in the Ministry of Industry, he knows very well how much it takes to repair the embankment in Xiahe Village, although he doesn't know how much Gao Sheng's family wealth is, but this time, it is impossible to repair the embankment along the river in Xiahe Village, without spending hundreds of dollars.

This is a "good deed" that loses a lot of money and can be used up if it is not done well.

Seeing Wei Yuanzhong, Di Renjie and Wang Xiaojie walking towards the studio with the drawings, Cheng Chubi leaned over and said to Gao Sheng: "Third brother, can't you really discuss and let someone pick up a hoe?" ”

Gao Sheng glanced at Cheng Chubi and said coldly: "I heard that the cook will make braised lamb chops for lunch, doesn't Shaolangjun want to eat it?" ”

Cheng Chubi was stunned for a moment, turned around in a hurry with a helpless face, didn't dare to let go of a fart, and chased after the three of them.

Gao Sheng looked at the back of the four people, shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to go to see the embankment that had just started.

Seeing him go out, the old man led Zheng Guang up and introduced Zheng Guang to him.

Zheng Guangzu, who is in his forties, has not only planted crops for generations, but also showed some feng shui to the rich and rich people in ten miles and eight townships, set a **, and dug wells to earn some money and grain to subsidize the family.

Zheng Guang knew that the man in front of him was a good man from Xiahe County, who was praised by ten miles and eight towns, and his face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly wanted to kneel down for Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng's eyes were quick, and he raised his hand to drag his body to prevent him from kneeling, and then smiled: "They are all crop men, Uncle Zheng doesn't have to care about those false courtesies, this is the most annoying thing for a man in Xiahe County." ”

Zheng Guangwei promised to promise, who had never seen such a powerful person, it seems that the rumors about the man in Xiahe County in Shanghe Village are really true.

The owner of Xiahe Village, a man from Xiahe County, has never put up a fight with the croppers, and now he has funded the construction of the embankment in Xiahe Village, which has made the villagers in Shanghe Village envious to death, and many farmers in Shanghe Village hate that they are not from Xiahe Village.

Although King Zheng's courtyard is not bad to them, it is not like this man from Xiahe County, as soon as Chrysostom opens, he is rent-free for one year, and the rent is halved for two or three years, and this pride is not something that ordinary owners can have.

Gao Sheng saw that Zheng Guang didn't dare to speak, so he took the initiative to ask: "Uncle Zheng, can the yard of a certain house find out the location of the **?" ”

Zheng Guang saw that Gao Sheng took the initiative to talk to him about finding water and digging wells, and immediately became interested, this is his old job, and he immediately did not flinch.

"Xiahe Village is backed by mountains and faces the river in front, so it must be a topography with underground water veins."

Zheng Guang nodded when he said this, there is no doubt about it.

After speaking, Zheng Guang waved at him, then raised his hand and pointed to the mountains behind the Gao family, and continued to him: "County man, please see, the Gao family is afraid of the front of the mountain col behind Xiahe Village, which is a sign of abundant water underground, but it is just ......"

Gao Sheng was slightly stunned and said, "What is the difficulty of Uncle Zheng?" ”

Zheng Guang sighed: "Under the courtyard of the Gao family, there should be immeasurable water veins, if the water veins are dug through and gushing out, not to mention the Gao family, even Xiahe Village is an ocean." ”

Gao Sheng and the old man were dumbfounded, and the father and son exclaimed in unison: "So serious? ”

Zheng Guang smiled bitterly: "This is just one of them. ”

"Or is it just one of them?" Gao Sheng was depressed, his home was actually built on an underground river.

"Second, the Gao family is on high ground, and I don't know how deep I have to dig to see the water."

"When digging a well by manpower, the opening must be one zhang square, and once the underground water vein is dug through, such a square opening, the water of the underground water vein will gush out."

"Such a volume of water is equivalent to the flood season of the river in front of the village, how can it be blocked by manpower? At that time, not only Xiahe Village will suffer, but even the adjacent Shanghe Village will become an ocean. ”

Hearing Zheng Guang say so seriously, Gao Sheng and the old man were directly dumbfounded.

Zheng Guang cried with a sad face, and finally said: "It's not that I don't accept the work of digging wells from the county man's family, but I don't dare to dig it." ”
