"Not only do I see it this way, but a few old immortals in our village have discussed it, and they all think that this matter is not far from ten." The old man patted his chest and said extraordinarily heroically: "We old immortals guessed based on experience, but you have long seen it, the master of the family. Tut... Tut... With this vision, I dare to say that under your leadership, within ten years, our Wang family will have to become the largest family. Further back, I'm afraid Jiangyin County is up to our Wang family. ”

"It's over, it's over."

"What's the prize? I'm so honest, and I'm so honest. Head of the family, you don't know, I have lived all my life, and I have offended many people because I love to tell the truth. ”

Wang Shihua smiled and nodded in agreement. Who knows, the old man said again: "But, the head of the family, there is something I said, don't you be unhappy?" ”

"How so? Old man, we are now chatting, not distinguishing between young and old, and not talking about whether the head of the family is the head of the family or not. If you have any words, you can just talk about them, and I will listen to them. ”

"That's good," the old man took a sip of tea, and said, "In this year of famine, it is easy to cause plague, and I think you should open a few more lime kilns, so that in the event of a large-scale famine, you can immediately spread lime to kill the plague." Otherwise, it will be temporary, and I am afraid it will be too late. ”

"Old man, lime is afraid of water and moisture, if it is burned in advance, it will not last long."

"That's what I'm saying, at the point of time, I believe you are more accurate than us."

Wang Shihua agreed in his heart, but he patted the old man's ass, hoping that the old man could give more substantive advice: "Heh... Scold... Thanks to the old man's reminder, otherwise, I really wouldn't have had the idea of this stubble. ”

got Wang Shihua's encouragement, everyone was enthusiastic, surrounding Wang Shihua, this one came up with an idea, that one asked something, gossiping, very lively. Wang Shihua also put down his identity and chatted with everyone frankly......

Suddenly...

A weak voice sounded: "Family master, if we don't have enough food to eat at that time, if we buy it from you, how much will it cost a catty?" ”

The voice was like an autumn wind, everyone was stunned, silent, and looked at Wang Shihua with blank eyes, waiting for an answer.

The second dog turned his head and glared angrily, but saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with her head bowed and secretly looked at Wang Shihua. Obviously, this girl was instructed to ask about it. The second dog didn't have any pity for the jade, and still glared angrily: Is this question that you should ask as a little girl? The head of the house paid for the grain, please help transport the grain and give the wages, when it comes to selling, there will naturally be a price, now ask, what, when the head of the house is easy-going, it is easy to bully?

Wang Shihua looked at the little girl, and saw that everyone was looking forward to it, thought about it, and said with a smile: "I really haven't thought about this, but I can assure you: I want to earn some, but mainly externally, for our own people, I will definitely not earn more, at most I will earn a cost." ”

"Master, can you have an approximate price?" That's the way it gets in.

Wang Shihua thought for a while, and said: "Let's talk about it this way, I can't be the master of such a big thing alone." I didn't think about the exact price, so I had to go back and discuss it with my family. But I can promise that I won't starve our royal family. Especially for the families of the warriors, there will be a certain reward every month, although it is not much, but it is enough to eat mixed with some miscellaneous grains...... The main reason is that there are too many people, and there is no guarantee that everyone can eat rice at a meal, so they can only mix it together. In this famine year, please be considerate. ”

"It's natural. In the year of famine, it is the kindness and ability of the head of the family to be able to stutter, not to die of hunger, and not to go out to beg for food. ”

"Yes... If the head of the family can say this, it means that the head of the family has everyone in his heart and is a good head of the family. ”

"yes... Everyone is good at the head of the family, and when the head of the family gives an order, we will all listen to the head of the family. ”

Everyone's praise made Wang Shihua feel happy. But he never thought that his official words would get a surprise.

But I saw an old man squatting on the ground knocking his cigarette pouch on the ground and said, "The head of the family is interesting enough, and the old man can't be without conscience." I have a solution here, which my grandfather passed on to me. ”

Wang Shihua immediately looked at him with a smile and waited.

"Master, you've pretty much figured out how to deal with locusts, right?"

"Well... I have done everything I can, and then I can only depend on the will of God. ”

"Does the head of the house have any way to deal with the drought?"

Wang Shihua was stunned for a moment, then his heart was overjoyed, he couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, and said with a smile: "Old man, to tell the truth, I really didn't think of a good way to deal with the drought." I don't know if your old man has any solutions? If it helps, I will thank you again. ”

"The head of the family, in the year of the great drought, everyone is worried about water, but the old man knows that there is a place where there will definitely be water."

No wonder people want to hide it, in the year of the great drought, water is extremely precious, can be sold for money, can be exchanged for food.

"Oh~..."Wang Shihua came to his senses, got up and walked to the old man's side and squatted down, and said with a smile: "Please tell me more about the old man." ”

"There are so many caves in our Jiangyin County. As long as the caves are bigger and deeper, there are Yin rivers (underground rivers), and the water there, whether it is dry or not, has water all year round. ”

Wang Shihua was stunned: This is common sense, everyone knows it, but the question is: First, the Yin River is in the depths of the cave, and it is very dangerous to go in to get water; Second, it is not cost-effective to go in for a few hours, exhausting and tired, risking your life, just to fetch a bucket of water. Therefore, although everyone knows about it, few people will do it......

Wang Shihua glanced at the old man, and saw that the old man was smiling a little weirdly, but he didn't continue, and immediately understood: The old man can say it so deliberately, which means that he has a way to solve this problem. It's just that it's hard to say it in front of everyone now.

"yes... Why didn't I think of that? Wang Shihua was in high spirits and said with a smile: "Old man, your reminder is too good, I must reward you." So let's go, do you want money or food, or something else? You old man just have to speak. ”

"In these days, nothing is as good as food. The head of the family, if you really want to reward the old man, then give me some food, so that the family can have a full meal this year. ”

can answer so confidently, indicating that the other party really has a way to solve it. Wang Shihua was very happy and asked, "Old man, dare to ask your honorable name?" ”

"Don't dare to say that it is expensive, the old man Zhang Youfu."

"That's it, Uncle Zhang, you come with me to the town, and I'll send someone to pull a cart of grain for you, what do you think?"

"Yes..."

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Wang Shihua left in a hurry with Zhang Youfu.

Wang Shihua's Chengfu is now considered to have reached a certain level of fire, although he is anxious to know what is the best way to continuously draw water from the Yin River in the cave, but he just endured not asking along the way, but chatted with Zhang Youfu about family life.

It wasn't until he gave Zhang Youfu a cart of grain in the town and accompanied him back on the way back that Wang Shihua smiled and said: "Uncle Zhang, the people of the whole clan are important, Shihua is abrupt." ”

"It's fine. Head of the family, no wonder everyone says that you are the reincarnation of the eight great gods, you can bear to ask until now, among young people, it is really rare. ”

"Uncle Zhang, you talked about taking water from the Yin River before, but everyone knows the dangers and difficulties inside, I don't know if you have any good methods?"

"Yes..."As he spoke, Zhang Youfu put his hand into his underwear, took out a small book wrapped in green cloth, and opened it layer by layer, but saw a folded yellow paper. Handing it to Wang Shihua with both hands, Zhengse said: "Family master, this thing is a drawing handed down by my ancestors, as long as you build a soft water wheel according to the above method, you will definitely be able to get water from the Yin River smoothly." ”

When Wang Shihua heard this, the hand that was about to receive the drawing immediately turned into a push-out, and said: "Since it is your family heirloom, how can I use it well." Uncle Zhang, you better take it back. ”

Wang Shihua, who is worried about the drought, wants this thing very much, but the surface work must also be done. Otherwise, once this thing is taken, whether the other party is willing or not, and if it is passed on, everyone will only say that Wang Shihua forcibly occupies other people's ancestral skills, and this notoriety will not be washed away for the rest of his life. And now Wang Shihua, even if he likes reality, he also begins to look at his reputation.

The old man was also shrewd, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Master, you just take it." This thing is an old man, I see your benevolence and righteousness, and I voluntarily dedicated it to you, and others can't talk about it. ”

"Otherwise, Uncle Zhang, you make a price, and I will buy it at a high price, can you?"

"Master of the house, if you want to raise money, I'd rather destroy it than sell it." As he spoke, he forcibly slapped the drawings into Wang Shihua's hand, turned his hand and took out the cigarette pouch on his waist, filled the cigarette, lit the fire, and after taking two puffs, he sighed: "The head of the family, my family is from Guizhou, and my ancestors relied on this thing to be their home in the year of the great drought." Later, my family suffered a military disaster, and our whole family died, and we fled, and finally, my grandfather took me to Longtang Town, and soon after, my grandfather also died. I grew up eating the Wang's 100 family meals...... This thing is also useful in a year of great drought, and no one usually cares. The old man originally thought that after waiting for the year of the great drought or when he was dying, he would give it to the head of the family to repay the kindness of the Wang family. Now that I see your benevolence and righteousness, I just took it out, and I also fulfilled one of the old man's wishes. ”

Hearing this story, Wang Shihua had four words in his head...... Do well and have well...

Hurriedly dismounted, bowed to Zhang Youfu with a fist, and said: "Uncle Zhang, I thank you for your great kindness on behalf of the tens of thousands of people of the Wang family." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare to do this. The head of the family, the old man has said that it is I who repay your kindness, why did it turn around? ”

"That's okay... Uncle Zhang, it's all my own family, and I'm not polite to you. When the critical moment comes, I will make zuò according to your drawings. When the time comes, please be able to give me your own advice. ”

"That's nature."

Facts have proved that Wang Shihua is saying one thing and doing another. After sending Zhang Youfu home and chatting with everyone for a while, Wang Shihua immediately took out the drawings and looked at them carefully.

After a little imagination in my head, I immediately determined the feasibility and immediately took action......
