Chapter 66: Who's Strategizing for Neutrality (Part 7)
The people of Pizhou now hate the people of the surrounding states and counties to the bone, and their hearts say that why do you have so many things, Quyuan plough is used, and it is okay to play the chapter, but don't say a lot of good things about the county order of Sanshui County in the chapter, and even mention the matter of Xiangrui and sending things to the people in the county.
When that Xiangrui on the side of the state said the state Xiangrui, and the matter of sending things in the Chinese New Year's Eve was not mentioned, now it is good, the above accountability fold has been sent to the state, the wording is not harsh at all, that is, from all sides keep asking, why this kind of thing is not reported in the state, let the state of the family report?
It is because the wording is not harsh that the people in the state feel afraid, and the harsh ones show that the people above are close to you, and this kind of bland accountability is the most terrifying.
When everyone else began to be busy with spring ploughing, the people in the state discussed how to deal with this matter, and no one dared to continue to press the credit of the county order of Sanshui County, and in desperation, everyone discussed a way.
******
The sky was overcast, as if it could fall at any moment, and the wind cheered with it, and the farmers everywhere looked up at the sky in anticipation of the rain.
The same is true for the people in Sanshui County, but the sky was cloudy for a few hours, and in the afternoon, the clouds disappeared.
All the farmers saw this situation and their hearts sank, today is the valley rain, it should be the time to sow the rain, this rain does not fall, who dares to sow the seeds? Especially some old people who can look at the sky, their eyes are full of horror, it's over, there will be no rain for a few days.
Cheng County Ling of Sanshui County also sat in the yamen, staring at the sky blankly, and after a while, he turned his head and asked the people around him, "How is the water in Xiaoluoshui?" This time he finally called his full name.
"Back to my lord, the water is very shallow, it hasn't rained in the past few days, and the snow has long since flowed away." The person next to him replied cautiously.
"It's over, hurry, immediately give the official a rush manpower, the official wants to dig a well." Cheng Xianling stood up tremblingly, and asked people to come over in a hurry, and divide people according to the surrounding places to organize the digging of wells, but they were worried that everyone was waiting to sow seeds, and there were not enough people.
Everyone went down, Cheng County ordered himself to stand alone at the door of the yamen, from time to time there were people passing by to say hello, he didn't have the heart to respond one by one, the people seemed to be able to understand the difficulties of the county commander, it didn't rain in the past few days, and it turned out to be the same in Guyu, and it seemed that there would be no rain in a few days.
In the evening, there was good news, but there was nothing to be happy about this news for Cheng County, and the people in the state sent a seal, which meant to recognize his merits and report it to the imperial court, but let him say that the state did not report it before because he was unwilling to let the people in the state report it.
"My lord, now you don't have to share the credit with others." The county magistrate said on the side, he wanted to make the county order happy.
"Credit, credit, what credit is there now, if this drought is not good, I have passed, have the people sent to various places come back? How's it going? Cheng Xianling didn't have any energy at all, he sat on the chair, his whole body leaned on the backrest, and he slipped down like this.
"Most of the people have come back, Qiyang Village is dry, the villagers are rushing for water, a few are injured, the water they grabbed is barely enough to plant millet, but it still doesn't rain for a few days, then they have to think of another way, Xihe Village is still there, there is still a little water in the river, it can last for half a month, and now they have held the dam and barrage the river, but the Donghe Village below them is finished, and Nanshan Village is ......."
One by one, the news came out of the mouth of the county Cheng, usually there is no water, usually when it is not used, the water has always been there, but this time it was used, but it was found that the water was not enough at all, and the place with a little water could not last long.
"There's no good news? It's all like this? Yes, there is still one place that I haven't said, Tuqiao Village, Zhangjia Zhuangzi, how is he? Cheng Xianling suddenly remembered that the people over there hadn't come back yet.
"My lord, there is a river over there, but the river is formed by the convergence of four small rivers, three of which are no longer enough to use water in the villages just mentioned, they diverted the river water, and the remaining one is usually waist-deep, which is useless at all, mainly because it has been like this in the past few years, it looks like a drought, in fact, it will rain continuously before and after the valley rain, and the people and we are used to it."
The county man sighed, the Zhang family Zhuangzi gave them too many surprises from the yamen here, but this time, no one could escape.
"Report, adult, adult, the little one is back, the little one is back from Zhangjia Zhuangzi." As soon as the county Cheng's words fell, a voice came from outside the door, and then a person ran in, and he knew that he was rushing all the way by looking at the appearance of the dusty servant.
The man was carrying a large package on his back, which looked unsinkable, and when he stopped in the courtyard, he could not speak, and just stood there panting.
"Come back, come back, find a place to rest, what are you carrying? Asking for something from Zhangjia Zhuangzi again? Usually you want to forget it, but now they are also dry, how can you ....... Cheng County's words behind the order couldn't be said.
"My lord, I didn't want it, yes, it was they, Zhuang, Zhuangzi gave the adult yamen, what he brought, brought back, good, good things, fungus, ten, ten catties, dry, dry." The official replied intermittently.
"What? Ten catties of dried fungus, you dare to accept such a valuable thing? The drought has become like that, and these fungus can be exchanged for a lot of money, and it takes money to dig wells, and it takes money to buy grain from outside, and it is necessary to send it back, and this thing cannot be wanted. "Cheng County Ling and County Cheng were scared, where did Zhangjia Zhuangzi get so many dried fungus?
The official was still panting, anxious, and finally picked up the bowl of the county magistrate on the table, drank the tea in one go, wiped his mouth, and finally felt comfortable, opened the package, and said:
"My lord, this fungus was planted by themselves, and they said that they would take it back and give it to the people in the yamen, and they were going to give twenty catties, but the small ones didn't dare to ask for it, so they only took ten catties back, and after soaking it, the people in the yamen can get some and eat fresh."
"Planted? Can fungus also be grown? The two of them were surprised again, and even stood up from their chairs, neither of them knew how to position the Zhang family Zhuangzi.
Cucumbers can be made in winter, there is vegetable oil, I bought carrots that no one else wants, and I made a lot of money, and I found a very simple way to turn brown sugar into white sugar, and I made a hot sauce, and a few days ago there was a quyuan plow, and now even fungus can be planted, is there anything in this world that they can't do?
"Well, since they can plant, then they are rich again, even if they are not afraid of drought, how about his side? Is there nothing to be planted? ”
Cheng County is relieved, the fungus is expensive, if you want to eat, you can go to the mountain, or which tree to find, and then there is a place to transport firewood, this is money.
"My lord, they have all been planted, the three Zhuangzi of the Zhang family, the Zhuangzi of the Wang family and the Zhuangzi of the Ge family have all been planted, and the Zhuangzi of the Ge family is in charge of the water borrowed by the two Zhuangzi of Zhang and Wang."
"All planted? Borrowing water? His Ge family Zhuangzi has no water, so it is possible that Zhang Wang's two families have water. "The county commander felt a little dizzy, at this time, the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang and Wang didn't say that there was no water, but if there was water, could they lend it to others? He suspected that the official was lying, and his face sank.
"Really, my lord, the little ones don't dare to lie, don't you know, Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi dug six large ponds, the water in them was full, and the small river still had a little trickle, all of which were led to the six ponds, and when the small one arrived at the place, there were already seven wells, and three were digging.
Gejia Zhuangzi was just dug, the well water was sweet and cold, but it was delicious, the small one drank three bowls in one go, and the small one rode the horse, and also drank it, and the horse drank ....... ”
"Okay, don't talk about this mess, you just said that there are six ponds full of water on the side of Zhangjia Zhuangzi? And the seven wells that have already been dug? Cheng Xianling interrupted the useless words behind the officials, and asked again about the key places.
"Yes, my lord, the little one saw with his own eyes, there are three little babies of Zhuangzi playing in the pond, there is a pond with more than 1,000 ducks and geese swimming on it, and there are people who carry water to the mountain, and the small one also helps, there are more than 6,000 chickens laying eggs on the mountain, and the Zhuangzi also catches pigs.
In addition to these, the small ones also saw the grain moved from other places, because it should be the time of spring ploughing, they needed land, so they moved the grain to the two Zhuangzi masters' houses, there was open land there, and the ones were like mountains, so the small ones dared to bring back ten catties of fungus, and the small ones knew that they were not poor. ”
As soon as the official mentioned Zhangjia Zhuangzi, his eyes lit up, and he said the things on the Zhuangzi from beginning to end, and pointed to the ten catties of dried fungus.
Cheng County Linghe County Cheng Zhang Mingsheng sat back on the chair again, to be precise, he fell back, his two pairs of eyes looked straight at the fungus, and suddenly said at the same time, "I would have known that I would have taken back twenty catties." ’
"Adult, I really want to go again, the little one is not afraid of getting tired, change a horse." The official is also a real person, and he is about to turn away as he speaks.
"Stop, poor and crazy? Still shameless? What people give to you, what do you want to count? This Zhangjia Zhuangzi, evil cry, raised so many things, dug six big ponds in advance, and also drilled seven wells, no wonder Gejia Zhuangzi asked them to borrow water.
That Ge Yingxi is a good neighbor, a few days ago he made a bad thing behind the back of others, but it didn't hurt the family, the people of Zhangjia Zhuangzi knew about it, and they would even lend Ge Jiashui, if he was an official, he would also be a good official for the benefit of one party. ”
Cheng County ordered to stop the official and evaluated it there.
"Adults are also good officials." The county said next to him.
