Section 042 Return to Xiaquan Village for business

Sun Yuanjun was still in the capital, and she had already washed off the fake birthmark on her face and put on a thick veil.

Regarding what happened in Xiaquan Village, Sun Yuanjun was not in a hurry or worried.

First, it was Jinyiwei who said that no one was injured in Xiaquan Village. Second, as a woman, since the man in charge of her own family personally handles these things, then as a woman, you must learn to trust.

Staying in the capital, the most Sun Yuanjun did was to organize the library, and by the way, he copied the borrowed books by hand.

In the homes of big people like Shang Zhen and Chen Xun, some of them can be said to be priceless treasures, and it is definitely a great kindness to be able to lend them to Bai Minghe.

From the capital to Xiaquan Village, there are about 150 miles, which is 75 kilometers in modern times.

At modern speeds, a foot of oil arrives in less than an hour. But in the Ming Dynasty, this distance was more than a day, until the afternoon of the next day to Xiaquan Village.

As soon as he entered the village, a team leader from Laishui County greeted him.

"Hello three adults! The small team leader of Laishui County is responsible for this major agricultural case. The human and physical evidence are all ready. The county lord has already approved the case, and he is not responsible for killing and injuring bandits, and he has already handed over a reward to Chen! ”

After listening to the head of the class, Bai Minghe didn't speak, but the official of Sinong Temple said: "Got it." ”

The team leader stepped back, and his mission was accomplished.

He just came to report this matter, this is Laishui County's face to Bai Minghe, as for the above, the immortal fight has nothing to do with the small county order. Around Zhili, a small county order is really similar to sesame.

"Lord Bai, while the sky is not yet dark, can you go to the mountain to have a look?" The one from the Ministry of Work spoke.

"Please!" Bai Minghe didn't say much, the officials in the early Ming Dynasty were still very dedicated, even if they were very poor and didn't have many opportunities for corruption, but their hearts were still positive.

This has also been recorded in the historical materials of later generations. It's just that Bai Minghe didn't study history, and he didn't know this, but he only thought that since he was an official, he should do his duty. It's like working for the boss in the future, if you earn this money, you have to do this job.

All the elders of Xiaquan Village, as well as the old people from various villages who stayed here, went out together, and took more than 100 young people who had already finished work to follow Bai Minghe and others to Qingquan Mountain.

Here, with the highest status of the white crane, it is natural to be at the forefront.

At the Qingquan Mountain construction site, there are a few replaced pottery pipes here, but fortunately, the water has not yet been released, and it is not a trouble to replace it. At this time, a water wheel is taking water from the valley reservoir and filling it into the pipes.

In the siphon method, there is water in the pipe, so that the pressure can be generated, and the water in the valley reservoir can be sucked into the canal.

At present, the amount of water in the valley has not yet reached the bottom of the dam, which is more than a foot high, after all, the time is still short, and I think that by the time it comes next year, the water storage here will be large enough.

"Lord Bai, I'll take a few craftsmen to check closer!" Officials from the Ministry of Industry gave Bai Minghe a fist.

Bai Minghe nodded, and then said to the old uncle: "Arrange for a few people to go over and listen to this adult's orders!" ”

Not only the people from the Ministry of Industry have passed, but also the people from Sinong Temple.

When there were no outsiders beside Bai Minghe, Uncle Sun leaned over: "Uncle, the previous incident was strange." Someone wanted to destroy our pond, and they still had some gunpowder in their hands, which was used to open the mountain. Our people guarding the pond found that maybe two people could be eight opponents. ”

It seemed strange, and the white crane subconsciously leaned into the woods next to him.

Uncle Sun's voice was lowered.

"Uncle, by the time the people from our village came up, those eight people had already beaten people out of breath but out of breath. The beaters said that they were from Xiagou Village, but the old man knew that they were not. The young man sent by the 32nd village of Bali has been working here for almost a month, and I still have this bit of eyesight, old man. ”

The white crane nodded silently.

"The pottery pipe, I asked the baby who guarded the pond, it was broken during the fight. Later, when the men left, most of the gunpowder was gone, leaving only a bag the size of a palm. Later, the head of the county team came over, but he asked a lot of people and took the eight people away, but they didn't take gunpowder. ”

"Uncle, don't tell anyone else about this matter, there are some things in it, even the Laishui County Order is afraid to hide. You only said that someone destroyed our reservoir, and then it was chaotic, and I don't know who hit it harder, in short, in order to protect their own lives, people in various villages will inevitably have some heavy hands. ”

"Yes, listen to my uncle."

The old uncle is still literate, and he is also an old man.

Even though he didn't know what kind of work was involved, he heard that even the county magistrate was hiding, so naturally he wouldn't take the village in.

Bai Minghe said: "I will stay here for two days, and when I return to the capital, I will arrange for a few clever and literate people to go back with me." Over there is a small workshop in our village, and I have already agreed with the palace about the salary, and I will teach a few clever people how to manage it, and you don't want to participate in the rest of the things, the things in the palace are too messy! ”

"Understood, understood, understood!" The old uncle said three things in a row.

Xiaquan Village is not a rich village, and it is fun to have dozens of dollars more every month. The match factory is still expanding, and the palace has already sent a thousand big coins to each family, and it is all money, and there is no money. It's definitely a big favor.

That night, the officials who came with Bai Minghe stayed in Sun's house, and naturally they were entertained by the villages.

After dinner, Bai Minghe went back to the house alone and asked the old uncle to arrange to prepare a few side dishes and two bottles of wine. Accompanying Bai Minghe is naturally an old hunter with a mysterious identity, who has now changed his name to Bai Fu.

"I said, Uncle Bai, what do you think about this?"

"I'm afraid that someone has known about this for a long time, so I arranged for someone to protect me here in advance. When I was fighting, I watched from a distance, and the individuals who came to make trouble were all waste, but the people who came to protect this pond were all good hands, and they had at least ten or twenty years of kung fu in their hands! Bai Fu said as he poured himself wine.

Bai Minghe could feel that Bai Fu was definitely not an ordinary person, so he said it bluntly.

"Uncle Bai, the one who started was the person found by the Shangshu Gongzi of the Ministry of Rites. I estimate that it is either Dongchang or Jinyiwei who does it. Now that I think about it, there are many times for Jinyiwei. ”

"I want to use you as a pawn?" Bai Fu asked.

Bai Minghe shook his head slightly: "No, I guess many of these are coincidences. Even if my dam is blown up, or those clay pipes are destroyed, in the current situation, it can be repaired in three or five days, and it will not affect spring ploughing. ”

Bai Fu nodded, he agreed with Bai Minghe's words.

Bai Minghe's tone changed: "But after I entered the capital, if that Yang Gongzi still has such a black hand, then he is a cheater." It's self-inflicted. ”

"Cheating daddy?" Bai Fu repeated this, smiled, and poured himself a full glass. "That's interesting."

"I analyzed that the matter was at the poetry meeting, and Yang Buwu was just going to be angry at that time. Afterwards, he probably forgot about it, otherwise he would have stopped it. ”

Listening to Bai Minghe's analysis, Bai Fu said: "No matter how it started, now is how this matter ends!" ”

"I haven't figured it out yet, so I'm going to come back and wait a few days. I don't know Yang Ning of the Ministry of Rites, but I know that he is a clear stream and pays great attention to his reputation. ”

"If you treat Qingliu as a good person, you are wrong. In this world, there are people who have done some shady things, but they are not necessarily bad people. Some people have a light on their faces, but they are not necessarily good people. Although I live in the mountains, I know that Lord Yu Qian secretly seized the military power of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies two years ago, and the left and rear governors. He also took the military power of the twenty-two guards of the pro-army, eight of them. ”

Bai Minghe gasped, this is secretly seizing military power, but it is a big disrespect and a big crime.

Bai Fu said again: "Take it, protect the Jingshi." Clean up the original people and replace them with some loyal people. Right and wrong! ”

What a merit or demerit. Bai Minghe had to admit that he did extraordinary things at extraordinary times.

Bai Minghe already knew that at that time, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the current Emperor Taishang, had been captured and became a prisoner. The new emperor has not yet officially ascended the throne, and the Ming Dynasty can be said to be almost like a building that is about to collapse. can survive this difficulty.

Yu Qian is qualified to be compared to Yue Fei by later generations.

"I see!" Bai Minghe already had a direction in his heart, so he changed the topic and asked, "I'll go back to the capital, and Uncle Bai will go back with me." ”

Hearing Bai Minghe's words, Bai Fu's hand trembled, and the glass of wine in his hand spilled half.

"It's okay, Uncle Bai likes to live here, just live there!" Bai Minghe was a little remorseful by Bai Fu's hand, and it was obvious that Bai Fu was definitely a person with a story.

When he said that he returned to the capital, this may have revealed Bai Fu's scars.

"Then follow the young master into the capital." Bai Fu quickly returned to normal, and said in a calm tone.

Bai Minghe has something on his mind, Bai Fu also has something on his mind, drinking in such a mood, the taste of this wine doesn't feel good, two cans of wine didn't even finish half a can, Bai Fu went back to the house first.

There was no entertainment at night in the Ming Dynasty, and when I went back to the house after dark, I went to sleep, and the roosters went to work in the fields.

The next morning, Bai Minghe woke up at about eight o'clock in the morning, still moving his body in the courtyard, but the official of Sinong Temple had already walked around the field and came to look for Bai Minghe.

"Lord Bai, the lower officials have observed that the weather is almost there, although it is two or three days earlier than in previous years, the weather is good these days. Xia Guan thought that the appropriate amount of water should be released to last year's winter wheat spring irrigation, I don't know what the adults want? ”

"I don't have any opinions, but I don't know if there are any special rules for this spring irrigation. Do you need to say hello to the village elders first, and let them be prepared first! "Shira-naka won't do the kind of thing that doesn't know how to pretend to understand.
