Article 228 Water comes naturally, saving thousands of miles of fertile land

Outside Quyang, the onlookers and the people digging the ditch were all excited. I didn't expect that God would still favor them. Before this canal has reached the Qingjiang River, it is already spontaneously bubbling with water!

Some people who believed in God's kindness hurried back to kill the animals and sacrifice to the gods and goddesses.

Seeing that it was okay for the time being, the strong men who dug the ditch and the soldiers under Ying Fu all retreated to the shade of the trees for lunch.

Ying Fu and Lao Che looked at the people like this, and sighed very emotionally: "It's thanks to Your Majesty for approving this canal repair." ”

Lao Che admired Sun Nian even more, "Have you written to inform Your Majesty?" ”

"Not yet. Someone sent it. In a few days, I will see how this channel is repaired, and then write back a letter. "Ying Fu saw that Zhong Chang was servant, and the man said that he had sent a letter back to His Majesty, and there was no need to bother Dr. Yu Shi anymore.

Lao Che is not a diligent person, and when he heard Ying Fu say this, he naturally applauded. He didn't want to write again.

Ying Fu still wanted to speak, but saw a group of people not far away arguing about something. There were no white-armored soldiers on the side, and the quarrel was fierce.

Yingfu vaguely heard "your village", "my village" and "dry fight".

"It seems that we are dressed too inconspicuously, and we didn't expect us to look here? Are they unscrupulous? Lao Che was very surprised.

Ying Fu laughed and said, "What you said is possible. Maybe I'm looking like a bully? There is no official authority. ”

limped to the crowd of people who were arguing, and the guard Xiao Si next to Ying Fu roared: "Who is making a fuss here?" ”

Those people didn't listen to Xiao Si's words, but they all shouted and fought.

Ying Fu saw the ropes scattered on the ground, picked them up, circled them a few times, pulled out the leaders of the fight, and threw them on the ground: "Do you want to monopolize this bubbling canal?" ”

The crowd fell silent for a moment. It seems that you can hear it as soon as the needle hits the ground.

They were a little frightened, and cautiously glanced at Yingfu, and then saw their fellow villagers who fell to the ground and wailed, and they were all silent.

At this time, a few people ran over, ran to Yingfu and solemnly saluted, and said, "My subordinates have seen Dr. Yushi!" ”

Those who heard it were stunned, they didn't expect that they would fight in front of the Imperial Doctor. The few people lying on the ground fainted even more when they heard the words.

"Get up." Ying Fu frowned and asked, "These people are the ones who dig the ditch?" ”

When the soldier heard this, he said, "Let your subordinates identify you." ”

"Yes."

The soldier received the order, and then raised his head and carefully screened it, and after a while, he said: "Back to the Imperial Doctor, none of them are the people who participated in the conscription this time. ”

"Good. That's easy to do. Ying Fu had a smile on his face, but said first: "Have you eaten well?" When you have eaten, you will follow, and I will punish these people. "I'll see you in the future, if they don't have anything to do with it, they can also have a bottom in their hearts, what to do.

Ying Fu stood up straight and said solemnly, "This channel was ordered by His Majesty to be built in order to benefit the people near Quyang. Not just for a certain person in a certain village. ”

After that, his breath became even more violent, "Do you want to trample Your Majesty's kindness on the ground?" ”

"Xiaomin doesn't dare!" The hula-la crowd all fell to their knees tremblingly.

Looking at such bold and timid people, Ying Fu felt uncomfortable, but for the sake of Quyang's tranquility, he had to clean up these-stirring sticks that had just started small actions, "Don't dare to be the best." You have to understand. This canal is a reward from heaven, and if you are greedy, God will blame you, and this year's autumn harvest will be ruined by this gradually revealing drought. Then you will either die, or sell your sons or daughters, or sell your lives for your lives. Is that what you want? ”

No. What they want is peace and prosperity, and a good harvest.

"That being the case, don't let your majesty down. He hoped that his people would not harm others for their own benefit. Ying Fu took a step forward, got closer to the people who didn't dare to push and shove anymore, and said, "I've checked, and your farming method is not quite right. I have asked your Majesty to send a man to help you. "Who is that person? It was the farmer who tried it at the same time as Zheng Li.

Some old farmers who have been planting all their lives feel that it is unbalanced, "Doctor Yushi, who is the person you invited?" ”

This person's question was too rude, Lao Che and the others frowned, but Ying Fu still replied calmly: "He is the first time that our Daqi has tried this year. He is now a county magistrate in Shudi. Ying Fu knew that some people would feel uncomfortable, so he deliberately told Rong Meng's deeds to a high level, and did not tell his real age.

Sure enough, those peasants were simple-minded, and when they heard Yingfu's words, they naturally heard it, and they were even more amazed and surprised. What kind of character is it, it is actually a little bit of a story. By this time, they had already understood that the word was the meaning of the fourth place. The fourth place in the world, isn't that from the gods? So smart.

"But, Doctor Yushi, how can he teach us to farm as a pen? Could it be that he also tested farming in the test strategy? ”

Ying Fu looked at the person who said such scoundrel words quietly, and said, "He was originally a farmer. In the six arts, the royal car is good. Not to mention, he is rich in knowledge and has the blue eyes of His Majesty. ”

A few words pointed out Rong Meng's power, so that those people had to speak carefully. I heard that he was born in a peasant family, but he had more expectations for Rong Meng. After all, with the same background as them, they must not care too much about their clay legs?

Yes, Rong Meng, since the opening of the canal, Yingfu has been thinking about such talents. A few days ago, he had already made up his mind to ask Sun Nian for it.

I don't know when His Majesty will be able to give him an answer.

People are inattentive. Only two days later, Ying Fu received a text message from Sun Nian, which read: "Rong Mengke goes to Quyang." ”

But it was not said when Rong Meng would arrive in Quyang.

Ying Fu was doing things while waiting for Rong Meng. While he waited, he brought the boiling water into the parched fields. To be on the safe side, he had the farmers grow hardy crops, such as millet. Those fields that planted wheat were saved. The peasants all jumped into the water to water the wheat fields with smiles on their faces. In a few days, the city will die of drought.

The Quyang Canal is extending little by little, which is the hope of farmers and Daqi. The peasants were also bold, and a few or even a dozen men in the prime of life gathered together to carry water and water the fields at night. There are even some people who find rice seedlings from a place where there is no shortage of water, and rush to plant them at night, so that they will not be too injured by the sun the next day, and they can catch up with the growth days that fall a little bit.

At the beginning, the people on both sides of the canal benefited, and the villages that were far away even found Yingfu and took the initiative to join the team digging the canal, so that the canal could reach their villages as soon as possible so that they could irrigate the fields. In this way, in less than five days, the number of people in the team increased by 5,000.

Someone came to dig a ditch, and Win was naturally happy. But at the same time, I am happy, but I also have a headache. for the next 5,000 will also be rewarded. You can't let them do it for nothing, and you can't let him suffer for yourself, right?

But how? He thought that his brain was not as flexible as Cui Ze and Sun Nian, so he naturally repaired a book, which gave them a headache.
