Shitishan Military Village, Yu Xiang, who had not been seen for a long time, came to the village and asked to see Wang Teng.
Wang Teng was quite surprised, Yu Xiang had always been in charge of finding out the news outside, and unless he encountered something important, he would not turn around easily.
What happened?
"Let him in"
With Wang Teng's permission, it didn't take long for Yu Xiang to come to the main hall, "My lord, Guangling County ordered Fei Qing to conspire with the squire, they want to spread rumors and calculate your lordship."
Wang Teng was a little puzzled, "What rumors?" ”
Yu Xiang whispered: "They say that the adults are going to hoard Juqi and sell water to irrigate the fields, and the squires are even ready to use this as an excuse to raise the rent."
Wang Teng took a breath of cold air, he didn't expect Liu Wenyuan to think of this poisonous plan.
That's right, at the beginning, Wang Teng had the intention of forcing the squire to comply, but that was something you and I wanted, after all, it was not on the stage, and now Liu Wenyuan has poked the matter out, this is to fight to the death with Wang Teng.
Now it is the eighth year of Chongzhen, and it will not be long before Li Zicheng's rebellious army will break through Fengyang and burn the imperial tomb.
Thinking of this, Wang Teng took a deep breath, "Huang Degong, you send someone to Guangling to take a walk, and tell everyone that I build a dam to take water is not to cut off the flow of water and collect private wealth, but to benefit the people, next, I will build a canal in the field, if the people are interested in diverting water, as long as they participate in the work, I will not take a penny at that time!" ”
Huang Degong frowned. "My lord, how much land can this waterwheel irrigate?"
Wang Teng groaned slightly, "About 800 acres."
"If you don't take a penny, won't your lord spend your money in vain?"
Wang Teng was a little irritable, "It's okay, you can make more money when the silver is gone." However, if the official is gone, you and my brother are only afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed."
Fan's hatred for Wang Teng is deep, if Wang Teng does not have a military position, the other party will definitely kill the killer, there is no doubt about this.
Huang Degong didn't expect things to come to this point, "Could it be that Liu Wenyuan still has a trick?" ”
Yu Xiang thought deeply: "The county magistrate Fei Qing and Liu Wen are far from being very close, although the people I bought didn't hear the content clearly, but. The two of them do have another trick, and the lord is right, at this juncture, they can't care about the silver."
Wang Teng bowed slightly, "The dam must continue to be repaired, and now store more water, so that it can save lives in times of drought."
"But the squire ......"
"As long as I don't take money, bring water to the fields. The squire can't help me."
Song Xiance was shouting outside at this time to come in, because the origin was unknown. Wang Teng did not include him in the core decision-making level.
"My lord, you have made a big mistake, and it will be too late if you don't stop."
Yu Xiang was greatly annoyed, "Where did the stinky Taoist priest come from, he actually spoke wildly, my lord." I'll clean him up."
The three stinkers, who beat Zhuge Liang, Song Xiance is a famous figure in the history books after all, Wang Teng wants to hear his opinion, "Wait." Let him in".
Song Xiance straightened his clothes and swaggered into the main hall, "My lord, the disaster will not be long in coming!" ”
If Huang Hu is here, he will definitely let Song Xiance speak human.
Strategists, who like to be alarmist the most, Wang Teng was noncommittal, "Dao Chief, you should tell me, what is wrong with me?" ”
Song Xiance found a chair for himself and sat down comfortably, "My lord, I only want to ask you, are you a civil official or a military general?" ”
Wang Teng frowned, "Of course it's a military general, what's wrong?" ”
Song Xiance raised his eyebrows, "The duty of a military general is to train troops to kill the enemy, build water conservancy, and gather the hearts of the people, this is the duty of a civilian official, and the adults have put the cart before the horse."
Wang Teng suddenly woke up, he had only cared about making money all along, but he had forgotten about this stubble.
Why did the Ming Dynasty emphasize literature and suppress martial arts? Aren't you afraid that the generals will make trouble?
Although Wang Teng is just a small six-grade thousand presidents, it is impossible to turn over any storms, but if someone really holds on to it, Wang Teng is indeed speechless.
Yes, a local defense officer, clarifying the bandits, protecting the territory and the people is the right reason, what kind of waterwheel, isn't this not doing business?
Wang Teng shook it to the end, "What Mr. said is enlightened, Wang is indeed reckless, please teach me!" ”
Song Xiance stood up, and the old god smiled comfortably: "What? Wang Qian always trusts me? ”
Wang Teng shook his head repeatedly, "If you can trust it, you can naturally trust it, if you can't trust Mr., I won't raise money."
Song Xiance stretched out his hand, "Where's the silver?" ”
Wang Teng was very embarrassed, "The squire of Guangling only raised five hundred taels, and it took a lot to build a waterwheel and repair the canal some time ago, but now there are only a few dozen taels left."
Song Xiance shook his head, "In this way, this iron factory doesn't know that it can only be built in the Year of the Monkey, right?" ”
"Sir should understand that iron smelting requires water, and I built this dam for the iron factory."
Song Xiance laughed: "I know that adults are dedicated to the people, this is a good thing, but many things in this world cannot be divided into good and evil, aren't adults short of silver?" Go and grab it, I know that the elite of the adults are good at fighting, and if they go to war, they can return with a full load."
Yu Xiang's eyes widened, "What are you talking nonsense about?" ”
Huang Degong even shouted and reprimanded, "You Taoist priest is full of nonsense, we are officials and soldiers, how can there be a reason for robbery?" ”
Song Xiance smiled slightly, "You guys, you are too timid to do big things, you see, Mr. Wang Qian already has an idea."
Huang Degong only cared about scolding Song Xiance, and didn't notice Wang Teng's expression, at this time, he took a closer look, and indeed found that something was wrong, Wang Teng seemed to show a thoughtful look, as if he was persuaded.
Huang Degong was frightened, "My lord, don't be reckless, and whether it is successful or not, now we are the target of everyone, and every move is in the eyes of Guanglingzhi County. ”
Wang Teng groaned slightly, "This thing is naturally impossible to do in Guangling, but if you go to other places, you can consider it."
Yu Xiang and Huang Degong looked at each other, they didn't expect Wang Teng to be so crazy.
As an official of the imperial court, he actually hit the idea of killing people and selling goods, which is crazy for money.
Well, Wang Teng really wants money and wants to go crazy.
For several months, relying on the accumulation obtained from the early raid of Dingjiazhuang, Wang Teng had no worries about food and clothing, and had never lacked silver, but after a large number of purchases, he was embarrassed to find that he had too few means to make money.
Originally, he was expecting to extort a sum of money through a waterwheel, but now it seems that this method has not been successful.
In desperation, Song Xiance's idea was to make Wang Teng's eyes shine, kill people and sell the gold belt, or rob the money quickly.
