Fengyi Township, Liu Ji and Lu Juan hurried over, today is a special day, Xiao Xiancheng of Pei County will come to inspect. Liu Ji had talked with Xiao He a few times before, and the relationship between the two was not bad. This time, Liu Ji got the method of building the reservoir, and he was even more ambitious, this kind of policy for the benefit of the people, even the three elders he did not tell him, in order to invite credit in front of Xiao He.

When he arrived at the township, he made a report and entered the house, where there were already seven or eight people, one of whom was kneeling in the middle hall, with a steady expression, a sophisticated and capable look, and a bright and shrewd look. This person is Xiao He, and he is having a good conversation with the three elders of Fengyi. Liu Ji stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Ji, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, pays a visit to Xiao Xiancheng. Then, he saluted to the three elders again, "I've seen the three elders." ”

"It's Liu Ji." Xiao He and Liu Ji have an old relationship, so they naturally know each other, he smiled, and then pointed to the couch on one side and said, "Sit down." ”

The three elders are highly respected people in the township, divided into rank, sifu, and you, and when they saw Liu Ji, they also nodded slightly.

Liu Ji sat down when he heard this, and there was a person beside him with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a burly figure, and a beard, this person snorted coldly, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Liu Ji. When Liu Ji saw this person, he just arched his hand without smiling, and said, "It turned out to be the head of Yongting." ”

This person is Yongya, he is also the head of Fengyi Pavilion, and the Yongjia is the family of Pei County, this Yongya is naturally an arrogant person, and he is very contemptuous of Liu Ji's gangster appearance on weekdays. Seeing Liu Ji's greetings, Yongya raised his head and pretended not to see, turning a deaf ear to his words. The three elders of Fengyi also know Yongya's character, it stands to reason that it is difficult for such an arrogant person to have prestige among the people, but the Yongjia family has been giving alms to help the hungry people all year round, which made Yongya the pavilion chief.

"Okay, everyone has arrived, so let's ask Xiao Xiancheng to come and talk about it." The Sifu among the three elders waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he said nonsense.

"Huh." Xiao He smiled, he arched his hand to the three elders, to show respect for the three elders, after all, they are all the most virtuous people in Fengyi, and then he spoke: "This time I came to Fengyi just to inspect casually, you and the others are all talented and virtuous people in Fengyi, and you need to think more about the people on weekdays." ”

"This is natural." Everyone nodded in response.

Then Xiao He inquired about the spring planting irrigation of each pavilion, and did not find that the water source was tight, so he was relieved, and he said with satisfaction: "Yes, the spring planting of Fengyi is reassuring." ”

"Xiao Xiancheng!" Speaking of spring planting, Liu Ji immediately got up, bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "This year's spring planting in Surabaya Pavilion, the water source is tight, and there is constant competition between the miles. This method can alleviate the shortage of water sources, and it is a policy for the benefit of the people, and Ji is willing to dedicate this method to benefit the people of Pei County. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, not only Xiao He, but even the three elders and the other pavilion chiefs were very surprised, and looked at Liu Ji one by one, they also wanted to know what way to benefit the people like this after all.

Seeing that Xiao He and the others were attracted by what he said, Liu Ji was overjoyed, and sure enough, as he thought, this reservoir could definitely bring him great prestige, so he continued: "This method is a reservoir? ”

"What is a cistern?" Xiao He asked suspiciously.

Liu Ji did not hide it, so he told all the functions of the reservoir and the method of construction, "With this method, the people of Pei County can store water in their leisure time, and they can naturally alleviate the shortage of water sources when they are busy with farming." ”

"Good, Myafa!" When Xiao He heard this, he pondered for a moment, as if he thought it was feasible, and he laughed and praised. Xiao He stroked his beard happily, his expression showed appreciation, and he couldn't help but glance at Liu Ji a few times. Before this, he also knew Liu Ji's character, a gangster, he relied on his flamboyant tongue to eat and drink on weekdays, he didn't expect Liu Ji to have such great wisdom, Xiao He sighed in his heart, sure enough, people can't be good-looking.

The third elder is also pleased, although Liu Ji has bad deeds, but this method is a great virtue, and the husband smiled and said: "What a Liu Ji, you are really my Fengyi's virtue and talent." ”

"The three elders praised it." Liu Ji pretended to be calm, his face was not happy, and he bowed respectfully and humbly.

The three elders appreciate Liu Ji's indifferent attitude even more, this is the performance that a virtuous person should have, not happy because of merit, calm and generous. At this moment, the three elders changed their bad impression of Liu Ji in the past.

The other pavilion chiefs also praised one after another, only Yongya still snorted coldly, "Hypocrisy! He and Liu Ji have competed for water many times, and they both know each other's temperament, and he will not believe that Liu Ji can have such a character.

"I thank the people of Pei County for the great virtue of Pavilion Chief Liu." After getting the method of construction, Xiao He got up and bowed slightly to Liu Ji, he sincerely thanked him. Xiao He asked himself, he himself is not a perfect person, but as a county prince, he also cares about the people.

Liu Ji didn't dare to accept the salute, he hurriedly dodged to the side, and then waved his hand and said, "Xiao Xiancheng, what are you doing?" It is an honor to be able to contribute to the people of Pei County. ”

"By the way, as Pavilion Chief Liu said, a reservoir has been established in Zhongyang, can you take me and others to investigate?" Xiao He was very concerned about the cistern, and he couldn't wait to check it out with his own eyes, so he asked.

"Nature." Liu Ji said to the three elders and the pavilion chiefs: "Please go to Zhongyangli with the season." ”

Zhongyangli is in the northwest of the township, everyone ran along the dirt path, and arrived at the reservoir in more than half an hour, unlike the reservoir in Jingyangli, the reservoir built by Liu Ji asked Lu Juan to be very large, and he had already guessed that Xiao He would ask for an investigation. Xiao He and the others stood by the pool, Liu Ji ordered someone to pump out the wooden planks that blocked the water, and the water in the pool immediately poured into the ditch, and Liu Ji said on the side: "Xiao County, you see, the gravel structure can prevent the water from leaking. When the farm is busy, it can be irrigated by removing the wooden planks, which is very convenient. ”

Xiao He nodded again, his eyes stared at the flow of water, showing joy, and said, "Pavilion Chief Liu, he is indeed a talented person. With this method of construction today, I will not stay in Fengyi for a long time. Hehe, I will return to the county government to convene the three elders of each township and push this law to all townships in Pei County. Liu Ji, I'll prepare a banquet at home another day, but don't you come! ”

The sentence "Liu Ji" is very kind, which shows that Liu Ji's status in Xiao He's heart has improved a lot again. When Liu Ji heard this, he knew that his goal had been achieved, and this Xiao He was no longer so simple as looking at him differently, Liu Ji knew that if he was one step closer, it would not be impossible to call Xiao He a brother. "If Xiao County is invited, how dare Ji not go?"

Xiao He left Fengyi satisfied, and the three elders and others also left one after another. You don't have to think much about it to know that from today onwards, Liu Ji's reputation will spread all over Pei County, and this prestige is invisibly the most valuable wealth, especially at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

In Jingyang, after returning from the county seat, Liu Yuan's life also tended to be dull, he was busy hunting every day, and every household had changed, and he was no longer as poor and lacking meat as before. In the afternoon, he returned from the mountains, and just drank a bowl of water and sat in the courtyard, when he saw Liu Fang hurrying in a panic, "Brother Yuan is not good, Da Niu was injured by Lu Juan and Fan Hao in the township." ”

"What?" Liu Yuan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Favorite friends trouble to collect it. Thank you for the reward from the soul of the dragon sea, as well as the book review.
