When he walked out of the hut, his eyes almost popped out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shun rubbed his eyes vigorously, and his throat was so shocked that he made a strange 'uh-uh' sound, and he was so excited that he walked back and forth on this small island, which was only a few steps away.

Jiangjia Lake has long been without yesterday's touch, the microwave rippling lake is now only left at the bottom of the lake full of silt in the lake exuding a strong earthy smell, a cloud of fog that should not appear in this season is rising from the bottom of the lake, around the gas rise, bulging muddy water bubbles, with the rise and break, emitting a crisp 'bang' sound, a group of ' The mud men were standing waist-high in the sludge, looking for something, their faces were covered with mud, and they couldn't tell who was who, and there was not a drop of water in the lake, and two large openings were split from the embankment that was more than a foot wide, and the lake water flowed from here.

The small island where Li Shun is located stands alone in the middle of the lake, as if he is in a cliff surrounded by cliffs, Li Shun's mind is a little foggy, and he sits on the ground and beats his temples hard.

At this time, I heard a miserable scream suddenly sounding on the shore of the lake, and the cry was heartbreaking, like a person walking in the dark night and suddenly seeing a ghost.

Jiang Wanhe knelt on the embankment of the lake with trembling all his body, slapping the ground desperately, scratching, and hoarsely, until two small dirt pits appeared on both sides of his knees, and the women of the Jiang family who followed behind him also cried and wiped their tears when they saw the scene in front of them, pointing at the mud people at the bottom of the lake and scolding, and scolding all kinds of ugly words.

The villagers at the bottom of the lake stopped churning in the muddy water for a while, and all turned their heads to look at the scene on the shore, and several people had been scolded so much that they couldn't hold their faces, struggling to crawl out of the filth, blushing and lowering their heads and quietly leaving, but most of them still stood there, motionless, as if waiting for them to get tired of scolding before starting to act.

Jiang Wanhe slowly got up from the ground, lost his soul, stumbled and ran, ran to the ancestral grave of the Jiang family behind the lake, 'plopped', knelt down firmly, kept kowtowing, and burst into tears, "The ancestors of the Jiang family, the unfilial descendants of Wanhe have insulted the ancestors, no face, father, Wanhe is guilty, the Jiang family's feng shui lake has been destroyed in the hands of his son, how can I live, how can I have the face to see the ancestors of the Jiang family last year in the future, this is to kill me, want me to die......"

A desolate cry made the villagers also in a dilemma, the gold has not been found, and after selling it for so long, in addition to eating a mouthful of mud, they didn't even see a shadow of gold, everyone didn't want to give up like this, but Jiang Wanhe's cry was indeed more tear-jerking than the other, many people were shaken, slowly pulled out their legs, and were moving towards the lake with difficulty.

When Li Shun saw this scene, he gradually understood, shook his head with a wry smile, and sat there alone and muttered to himself, "Master, you have done this too lacking in morality, what is the crime of the Jiang family, what is the crime of the ancestors of the Jiang family, a gimmick of ten taels of gold has been made into such a field, master, how do you end this matter, forcibly destroying a private cemetery is like digging a grave, the law of the Tang Dynasty is not a joke, anyone who excavates the grave, regardless of whether the coffin is opened or not, regardless of the head and subordinate, the ground is full of smoke and miasma, and the army will always be filled, my lord, Ay! Why bother, so many ignorant people"

At this time, several pheasants were suddenly coming out of the grass by the lake, jumping away in all directions, Lu Fei rushed out of the grass out of breath, slapping his chest again and again, sweating, his clothes were wet and sticking to his body, he looked behind him, and said casually, "It's good that I haven't followed, ouch, these two thieves, I'm tired to death"

As soon as Lu Fei appeared, all the villagers turned their heads hurriedly, and someone shouted, "The county master is here" Suddenly the villagers in the muddy water at the bottom of the lake panicked one by one.

As soon as Jiang Wanhe heard that the county magistrate was coming, he cried and ran to Lu Fei, knelt down heavily, pulled Lu Fei's legs, shook it vigorously, and cried, "My lord, my lord, you have to be the master of your humble duties, the Jiang family is in trouble, I want to sue, I want to sue them, this is a great shame, my lord."

Lu Fei rubbed his chest, took a breath, looked at the scene in front of him, and secretly laughed in his heart, as if he had known all this in advance, but his face showed that he was very unhappy, stretched out his hand to help Jiang Wanhe up, and asked pretending to be surprised, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Wanhe shuddered and pointed to the lake, "My lord, look at these people, they dug up my family's feng shui lake, how can I live?"

Lu Fei immediately looked angry, and said solemnly, "How can this be, Jiangjiahu is your private property, how can you let others dig it up, go, rest assured, the master will definitely call the shots for you"

Jiang Wanhe cried and arched his hand, "Thank you, sir"

Lu Fei patted him on the shoulder and walked along the embankment to the crowded place.

Li Shun saw that the county master was coming, so he hurriedly stood up, waved his arms, and shouted loudly, "Master, save me, how can I get over?"

Lu Fei smiled secretly in his heart and ignored him.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, is there any royal law, come up, come up" Lu Fei suppressed the wild laughter in his heart, and shouted angrily at the people in the lake.

Everyone didn't dare to speak for a while, and they were very reluctant to climb ashore from the mud, and one by one they stood on the embankment like mud pillars and did not dare to come out.

The woman of the Jiang family rushed over, grabbed a few villagers who had just come out of the mud and beat and scolded, shouting, "You people who have lost their conscience, you can do this, and the feng shui lake is also dug up, and you can break your life, and you will lose your life."

Jiang Wanhe stared at these people with an angry face, and he couldn't wait to walk over and slap a few mouths before he was relieved.

Li Shun saw that no one paid attention to him on the island, so he had to mumble and slowly slide down the island, struggling through the mud, Jiang Wanhe saw this and hurriedly ran down to pull him up.

At this time, Steward Hu was standing far away, the scene in front of him was really unexpected, he almost choked to death with laughter for a while, and now this scene is getting better and better, it depends on how this county master ends.

Lu Fei crossed his waist and walked back and forth in front of the villagers covered in mud, "You said you, if you don't cause trouble for a day, your body will itch, right, who is the leader of this matter, you are not small, why do you do this?"

Everyone looked like children who had done something wrong, and they all bowed their heads and did not say a word.

Lu Fei raised his voice again, "What's the matter, I want to go back to the county government with the master, right, okay, Master Li, bring these people back, lock them all up, there is no royal law yet"

Li Shun was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Someone's coming."

No one answered, and after a while, I saw four people with muddy faces and mud-stained knives hanging from their waists squeezed out of the villagers, standing in front of Lu Fei with their heads down.

Lu Fei looked at it and laughed, "Hey, the four of you also went down to dig, really give me a long face, what's going on?" ”

The four officials looked at each other, all of them frightened, and one of them slowly arched his hand and said, "Adults, small ones, small ones, I want to help the master find the lost ten taels of gold."

As soon as he said this, the other three officials also nodded their heads and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes."

At this time, the villagers also began to agree, and they all insisted that this was to help the county master find gold.

Lu Fei smiled secretly and nodded, "Oh, it seems that you are also out of kindness"

As he spoke, he took out something from his waist and put it on the palm of his hand, "Look for this, this is also a slip of the tongue of the county master, something, I didn't lose it, you said that this matter is causing trouble, hey, the disaster comes from the mouth."

When everyone saw this thing, they immediately looked like a deflated ball, and sighed in despair, it turned out that this busy work all night was in vain, not to mention that they had offended Jiang Lichang, it was really a reversal of stealing chickens.

Jiang Wanhe raised his hand on the side and wanted to speak.

Lu Fei opened his mouth first, "But, even if you are looking for something, you can't just dig up the Jiang family's lake, this is a private industry, you just dig it, where is the national law, where is the human favor, aren't you hurting the Jiang family, the four of you are servants, don't you understand this reason, go back and clean you up, get out of the way and stand"

Then Lu Fei turned around and pulled Jiang Wan aside, and said in a low voice, "Jiang Lichang, you see what result you want from this matter, this county also has a certain responsibility in this, I didn't expect that a casual sentence would attract such consequences, I really never expected it."

Jiang Wanhe looked bitter, "It's all up to the adults, Jiang's mind is in chaos"

Lu Fei patted him on the back, with a little sympathy, "Jiangli is mourning, the lake has become a fact, and it can't be reversed, so let's make amends for you on behalf of the villagers, this is the county's lack of governance, so such a thing will happen, Jiang Lichang, I'm sorry."

As he spoke, he really bent down and gave Jiang Li a salute.

Jiang Wanhe hurriedly returned the salute, flattered, "Don't dare, I can't afford it, not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with adults, I hope that adults can uphold justice and give the Jiang family justice."

Lu Fei held Jiang Wanhe's hand and patted it, "Don't worry, rest assured, you won't let your Jiang family suffer losses in vain, these people must be punished"

Li Shun ran over, pulled Lu Fei aside, and whispered, "My lord, this matter should be made small, and it should not be publicized, if it is spread out, it will greatly damage your reputation."

Lu Fei nodded, the overall plan he had already planned before he went to sleep last night, so there was no need to worry.

Lu Fei walked in front of everyone, watching everyone's expressions, I was afraid that these people would even regret their intestines now, this is just right, the pigtails were grabbed, and I was afraid that you would not make trouble again, so he said, "What about this matter, can it be big or small, if the master punishes you, can you accept it?" ”

Everyone was silent, just nodded slowly, who dared to say half a word at this time, but a few people were muttering in a low voice, "It's been a long time, there's no gold here."

Someone on the side immediately stopped him, "Be quiet, I don't want to live anymore"

Lu Fei heard it clearly, he looked at the hundreds of acres of paddy fields in the lower reaches of the lake, the fields that dried up and cracked yesterday were already full of water at this time, Lu Fei scolded silently in his heart: You don't know about digging treasures, you are ignorant.

Seeing that the villagers were not opposed to being punished, Lu Fei nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said to Jiang Wanhe with a smile, "Jiang Lichang, the lake is already like this, even if you kill them, it will not help, so let's do it, this county will give you a chance to glorify your ancestors, which can be regarded as compensating for your losses, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Wanli looked puzzled, "What do you mean, my lord?" ”

Lu Fei asked mysteriously, "Jiang Lichang, your family has so many books, and you yourself said that you also studied hard for ten years when you were young, what is this for?" ”

Jiang Wanhe narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and hugged his fist at the north, "Of course, I hope that one day I can be nominated by the Jinluan Palace and get an official and a half position."

Lu Fei smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Well, yes, it's the truth, so what are you being an official for?" ”

Jiang Wanhe opened his mouth and came, "Naturally, it is for the benefit of the people and for the court."

Lu Fei shook his head very disdainfully, "It's okay, it's empty, just say it directly for the sake of getting rich, I don't need to say it so high-soundingly in the master, if it's really what you said, do you still need to quarrel with the people for this feng shui lake today?"

"This ......" Jiang Wanhe turned his face sideways in embarrassment.

"Just kidding, as the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, who doesn't want to have a lot of money, but this gentleman loves money, he should take it in a proper way, and he can't do it at the expense of others, let alone make money from the people, right" Lu Fei said more righteous than Jiang Wanhe, the 10,000 taels of silver he got from Master Hu were not so upright, of course, these are all deserved wealth in Lu Fei's eyes.

Jiang Wanhe didn't understand what the county master wanted to say, and he looked suspicious, "What the lord reprimands is that the humble position must be remembered."

Lu Fei waved his hand, "No, no, no, I'm not talking about this, I mean that although you can't take the career of officialdom, the way to make a fortune is not only in the officialdom, but also in the three hundred and sixty lines of work."

Who doesn't understand these truths, the question is what does this have to do with Feng Shui Lake?

Lu Fei pulled Jiang Wanhe to the lake, pointed to the Jiangjiahu that had dried up in front of him, "Jiang Lichang, in my opinion, you are simply sitting on the golden mountain and crying poor, and you are already a rich man with a big business and you don't know it."

Jiang Wanhe was even more puzzled, and arched his hand, "Don't laugh, adult."

"No, no, I'm not talking nonsense, you see, this is your lake, but you are ruined, I don't know that Jia has been used, it's just a decoration, I assert, if you can make good use of this lake, the annual income will be no less than two thousand taels of silver" Lu Fei was full of confidence and patted his chest.

As soon as these words came out, the people present opened their mouths wide, the county master must be bragging, even if he took out the mud in the lake and sold it for a pound, he couldn't sell it for this price, two thousand taels, a fool is talking about a dream.

Seeing that everyone had expressions of disbelief, Lu Fei laughed, stretched out two fingers and twisted them in front of the person, and said loudly, "Two thousand taels is afraid to scare you, it won't take three or five years, this number will have to be doubled at least five times."

Li Shun hurriedly came over, pulled Lu Fei's clothes and whispered, "Master, it's almost over, just accept it when you see it, this matter will be bluffed."

Lu Fei ignored him, turned around and patted Jiang Wanhe, who was stammering, "Okay, Jiang Lichang, wipe your saliva, are you willing to listen to my opinion?" ”

"I want to hear it in detail," Jiang Wanhe's eyes lit up.

Everyone also came around, and Steward Hu also ran over, very curious.

Lu Fei walked through the crowd, looked down at the legs of the person who had just come up from the lake, turned around a few times, pulled out a few people from the crowd, pointed to the man's muddy calves and asked Jiang Wanhe, "Jiang Lichang, do you know what this thing is?" ”

Everyone looked down together, a few people who were picked out by Lu Fei, the mud on their legs was still mixed with a trace of black substance, like the remains of some kind of plant after decaying in the mud, but the color was very black, and there was a trace of dark light in the sunlight, everyone circled around these people, shaking their heads while watching, could there be a treasure in this sludge? Or is it really a feng shui lake with great wealth and no one knows?

Li Shun also came over to take a look, but his expression was different from everyone else, sometimes brushing his beard, sometimes snorting his teeth, and sometimes shaking his head, as if he knew something but was not sure.

"Chief Jiangli, do you know why the fish can't survive in your lake?" Lu Feidao.

"I don't know, is it because of this thing?" Jiang Wanli pointed to the thing on the villager's lap.

Lu Fei nodded and said, "That's right, that's it, Li Shun, I heard that you have a lot of knowledge, do you know what this thing is?" ”

Li Shun pinched his beard and squatted beside the man's legs, twisted the black mud with his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said unconfidently, "Master, I read such a record in a history book before, saying that there is a mountain in the south of a certain county, and the stone springs are as big as ink, and the burning is extremely bright, and it is inedible. ”

Lu Fei laughed and patted Li Shun's back hard, "Master Li is really knowledgeable, yes, this is stone paint, also called oil, then Master Li, do you know what this thing is for?" ”

Li Shun shook his head and said, "I just read it in the book, and I saw the real thing for the first time today, and I don't know what it is for."

Everyone's eyes turned to Lu Fei at once, these people, including Jiang Wanhe and Steward Hu, no one has ever seen this thing, such a thing as oil, it is generally in a very deep place underground, like this kind of underground reserves that can be exposed to the surface without manual vigorous drilling, there must be a small amount of underground reserves, and there is such a place under the feng shui lake of the Jiang family.

When the old man of the Jiang family repaired this lake, it is very likely that he dug the soil layer above the oil, so many years have passed, the soil layer at the bottom of the lake has been soaked in the lake water for a long time and has become very soft, and the oil has slowly penetrated up, emitting harmful substances, although the amount is not large, but it is enough to make the fish in the lake extinct, and because of the years, many aquatic microorganisms have slowly adapted to survive in this environment, and there are no natural enemies of fish in the lake, and a large number of microorganisms are derived, so that the lake water is dark gray all year round, and the longer it grows, the bigger it is.

This kind of lake water not only can not survive is used to irrigate paddy fields, which is also a killer for crops, but most of the years in this area are smooth and rainy, not drought, generally do not take water from this lake to irrigate, even if the lake water enters the paddy field, it will not take two days of rain to neutralize it, at most it is just a small reduction in crop yield, Lu Fei secretly asked the villagers to dig up Jiangjia Lake by themselves last night, that is just no way, how to say that it is much better to reduce production than to die.

This thing was used in the Tang Dynasty for a purpose all over the world, war, digging a small ditch around the city wall, pouring oil, lighting it to block the opponent's attack, or using it to make torches when the army marched at night.

Before the advent of modern industry, the ancients extracted oil only on the surface, where there was oil overflowing, they used tools to scrape it away, stored it for use, and there was no other way to obtain oil, Lu Fei also used this small means to see the things at the bottom of the lake, first draining the lake water to find out what was at the bottom of the lake.

Of course, Lu Fei couldn't explain the role of oil to the people of the Tang Dynasty, let alone say that this thing was also a treasure, for a piece of unwarranted gold, this group of ordinary people could make the huge lake not drip overnight, and the labor capacity was not ordinarily strong, if this oil was also a treasure, I really couldn't think of what they could do.

Not only can it not be said that it is a treasure, but it is also necessary to say the opposite, anyway, this thing is mined now and has little effect, it is better to put it here, leave it for future generations to use or use it in the future, no matter what, it must be protected now, and it can't be ruined by these people.

Lu Fei pointed to the muddy water mixed with oil at the bottom of the lake and said to everyone, "Look, this thing is gushing out of there, what's the use, it's poisonous, it's highly poisonous."

As soon as he said this, everyone retreated one after another, away from the lake, and all looked down at their laps, for fear of being stained with these stone paints, while the villagers who had been stained with oil on their legs pulled by Lu Fei sat on the ground, took off their clothes and wiped them violently, and their skin was red and still had no intention of stopping.

Lu Fei smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, just wipe it off, just remember not to provoke these things in the future."

Li Shun said, "That master, this thing is so unlucky, what should I do?" ”

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, "This is exactly what I want to say next, the appearance of this kind of thing makes such a big lake completely deserted, of course not, we must make the best use of it"

Jiang Wanhe was skeptical, but he still didn't understand what the county master was going to do, since this thing was poisonous, how could it be said that it was an annual income of several thousand taels, isn't it a contradiction?

Lu Fei saw Jiang Wanhe's puzzlement, so he continued, "I see that this lake has almost more than 30 acres of water surface, which must be promising for fish farming, and not only fish, but also geese and ducks can be raised on the water surface, and the shore can also be covered with a pigsty, a large number of pigs are raised, and the excrement produced by these livestock is a good ration for fish, and can also be used as fertilizer for farmland. ”

Of course, this kind of modern industrial chain existed in ancient times, but it was all a small fight, and it could not form a scale, because the ancient population was not as dense as the modern one, and the large-scale breeding could not be consumed in the market at all, and the transportation capacity of the ancients was backward, and there was no way to transport these things to other places under the premise of keeping the food fresh, and the cost was too high and not cost-effective.

Jiang Wanhe understood what he said, but he still couldn't believe that he could make such a big deal, how much money it was, and how big the profit was, not to mention that now there is stone paint in this lake, and it can't raise fish at all.
