"At the beginning, with a momentum, it can naturally be done relatively quickly, but after a long time, everyone will inevitably slacken, and I am afraid that there will be complaints at that time...... The higher he climbs, the heavier he will fall, don't look at him at the moment of pride, then it will inevitably arouse the anger of the public. ”

Hearing that the progress over there was extremely fast, it was just one morning that all the ditches in hundreds of acres of fields were cleared, and Ye Neem comforted Liu.

Saying this, Ye Neem was secretly surprised in his heart: Ye Chang actually had this kind of ability!

It seems that all this is very simple, but Ye Neem knows very well that the basis for doing all this is leadership. And Ye Chang didn't have any leadership ability at all before. To put it mildly, if even the little girl Xiang'er is not too young, I am afraid that Ye Chang will not be able to control it, and she may run away with someone.

Just as he thought, Ye Dan over there was also noncommittal about Ye Chang's results in the first morning.

For more than two miles of mountain roads, it took half a day to just the canal on the slope, and it is absolutely impossible for the rest of the waterway to be completed without a month. But after a month, if it doesn't rain, the crops will already die of drought, and let alone a month, as long as it takes three days, the enthusiasm of the people will be exhausted, and at that time, who else will come?

At that time, what is waiting for Ye Chang will only be ruined! How much these people respect him now, how much they hate him then!

"I thought he would really have some skills...... But that's fine. Ye Dan thought to himself.

Despite this, neither Ye Dan nor Ye Neem relaxed their observation of Ye Chang.

At noon they had eaten some dry food, and then they left the slope and began to march towards the spring. But what made Ye Dan and Ye Neem extremely strange was that every other distance, Ye Chang left a group of people, and he marked the boundary of the land with the prepared lime, and the task of this group of people was to dig a pond or ditch in the marked place. Each group didn't have many tasks, an average of three locations, just enough to do in half a day.

The two groups of old and weak women and children did not move until about two o'clock in the last day, when they began to work. I don't know when Lu Dao Ye Chang ordered them to go down, and they dragged the coarse bamboos to the scene one by one.

"Diverting water with bamboo?"

Seeing these bamboos present, everyone began to discuss.

"The water flows for two miles, and if you don't use bamboo to guide it, you will be sucked dry by the soil halfway." Ye Chang explained with a smile: "Besides, there are too many things to do to dig a ditch, how can it be as simple as moso bamboo?" ”

Everyone was still skeptical, but Liu Gui, who was following Ye Chang, gritted his teeth at this time - he still heard about these bamboos, and it happened that a Qinyang person came here to sell them. Ye Chang asked people to open up the bamboo joints in the moso bamboo, thread the small head of one moso bamboo into the big head of another moso bamboo, and then seal the edge of the joint with a rag cloth, so that the root is connected, and in a short period of time, a "water pipe" of tens of meters long is worn.

This "water pipe" connects those extremely difficult areas to pass through, and the rocky areas that were thought to take days or even ten days to be chiseled through are paved in the blink of an eye. Moreover, Ye Chang's paving is not just on the ground, the bamboo pipe is put on a bracket made of tree branches, the top of the rock, passing through the air, like a sky channel, leading the water across the ridge, and in a short time, the waterway was built in those places where it was inconvenient to dig the canal!

Seeing this scene in the eyes of everyone, they were extremely happy. For the first time in a long time since the great drought, people are seeing hope for water. Moreover, after this water is introduced, it is not only a few hundred acres on the slope that is irrigated, this method can be promoted, with more bamboo tubes, more water is introduced, so that all the slope dry fields in Wuze can be irrigated.

All of a sudden, there was thunder of joy on the mountain.

"Eleven Lang, sure enough, he got the guidance of the immortals!"

"Exactly, why can't any of us think of it, but Eleven Lang thought of it?"

"Ha Luha, our Wu Ze has finally come out with someone!"

Everyone talked about it, and they all praised Ye Chang. Although the project is only about half completed so far, it gives everyone enough hope. With just one or two more days, you can bring in the water!

While they were cheering, Ye Neem appeared on the scene with a blue face.

The one who is most unwilling for Ye Chang to succeed is Ye Neem. The three-room long-term branch of the Ye family has been very prosperous over the years, Ye Neem has many children, and under the scattered expenses, his branch is not even under the long-term family lineage in terms of quantity. Seeing that the secondary branch and the third branch were all scarce, and there was even the possibility of breaking off the heir, Ye Neem also missed merging the three branches into one.

"I see you're rejoicing too soon, so be glad when the water reaches the fields." happened to hear everyone praising Ye Chang, Ye Neem couldn't help but say.

"Ye Si, this is strange, we outsiders are happy for Shiyi Lang, you are his clan relative, and you are his cousin, why are you unhappy, pouring cold water on you?" These neighbors sell Ye Dan's face, that is because Ye Dan is the head of Wu Ze's first family, and Ye Chang's face is sold because Ye Chang is an "immortal" who can bring them water. As for Ye Neem, who cares about him, so some elders immediately criticized him: "Could it be that you, the same uncle, are jealous of your nephew?" ”

Ye Neem was suddenly furious, but he knew that he couldn't help these people with foreign surnames, so he could only shout: "Eleven, you don't salute when you see me, don't you feel that your wings are stiff, and even the elders in the family can turn a blind eye?" ”

When Ye Chang heard this, he smiled at him with a smile: "Respect the elder forgiveness, I am busy, I really haven't seen it." If it can't be done, I will have to go out of food in the second half of the year, and I will have no spare time to pay respects...... Everyone, concentrate on your work, let's try to bring the water away tomorrow! ”

Everyone responded in an uproar, and then under the leadership of their respective leaders, they continued their work in their hands, and no one paid attention to Ye Chang, Ye Neem was very angry at the beginning, and wanted to put on the shelf of the elders to reprimand Ye Chang, but seeing that many young men were eyeing him, obviously if he got Ye Chang's order, they would rush to fight with him, and he could only endure it for the time being.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan...... If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! ”

Repeatedly admonishing himself in his heart, Ye Neem pretended not to see and listen to everyone's contemptuous eyes and mocking words, and walked to the spring. He also came to see it yesterday evening, when the spring water was only a shallow pool, and now it has gathered into a small pool, and judging from the flow of this spring, it is more than enough to irrigate hundreds of acres of sloping fields. Ye Neem was angry in his heart, and he only wished that he could move a mountain and block this spring. He walked down the spring, and with the help of the dug ditch and the bamboo pipe, the spring gradually descended, and it was getting closer and closer to the sloping field, which was less than a mile away.

"No way, this little animal can't lead the water through, there must be an obstacle somewhere......"

The more he looked, the more frightened Ye Neem became, he muttered to himself, he couldn't figure out in his mind when Ye Chang had this ability. In his opinion, the amount of work that takes a month or even more to complete, but Ye Chang only relied on the bamboo to break through the most difficult place, and relied on the diversion ditch to pass through some easy sections, and in just one day, half of the project was completed!

He didn't know that compared with the ordinary people of this era, Ye Chang was definitely a master of mathematics, especially in plane geometry, Ye Chang might even be the first master of this era. For those routes that need to be determined by skilled craftsmen with experience and a lot of practice, Ye Chang only needs to use branches to make a map on the ground, and with a little calculation, he can find the best solution. However, the management system of rewards and punishments in groups is rough, but it is the best system for these simple-minded peasants. In this way, the two are superimposed, and the effect is naturally outstanding.

"This kid, this kid...... When did you learn this skill? ”

The more Ye Neem thought about it, the more frightened he became, but when he came to the ridge, he suddenly stopped, and the panic in his heart turned into ecstasy.

"Ha Lu Ha...... The boy was mistaken, here, it was impossible to lead the water through, although the waterway he had set up passed through the lowest place between the two mountains, but the water entry was low and the water outlet was high, and the water could not flow high! He only has a detour, and if he takes a detour, this piece is full of stones, and he can only take a bamboo to go around, but his current bamboo is no longer enough...... I went and bought all the bamboo, so he didn't have any bamboo to use! ”

Thinking of this method of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, Ye Neem suddenly stopped delaying, and sped up his pace and went back to Wu Ze. Because of the trot, I didn't pay attention to the one at my feet, and I fell and almost ate a dog to gnaw mud.

Hurriedly returned home, the Liu family was in a hurry, and when he saw him come back, he said, "You let that little animal get your will?" ”

"What nonsense?"

"I've heard that the little animal has been instructed by the immortals to draw water with bamboo, and it is almost ready to bring the water over. That little beast has done this, and his reputation in the village has increased greatly, how can we harm him, and let your slut's son inherit the three branches? ”

"Women's family, don't think nonsense, although Eleven Lang is not good, but after all, he is the heir of the third child, the son of the second child, where will we harm him?" Ye Neem said dissatisfiedly: "It's just that he has gone astray now, although I and the third child are not brothers, but they are also grandfathers, I can't bear to let the third family business be ruined by Eleven Lang...... What are you doing? ”

Ye Neem was talking when he saw Liu reaching out and grabbing a broom, and immediately asked angrily.

"Beat you old thing, talk to the old lady, and play such a fake head!" Liu's broom smashed down with his head covered: "You old thing, if it weren't for your lust and immortality, you secretly ate and raised a bunch of thieves and prostitutes at home, and the old lady would have used it to calculate the three rags?" The dowry in the old lady's house is enough to ......"

She beat her as she spoke, beating Ye Neem with her head in her arms. It is said that although Ye Neem is dignified in front of Ye Chang, he is indeed a person who has no confidence in the family, and the Liu family marries him, and there is a little bit of marriage, so if the Liu family is really angry, Ye Neem does not dare to fight head-on.

"Don't fight, don't fight, what are you angry about, that little beast will definitely not succeed!"

was beaten all over the yard to dodge, Ye Neem was embarrassed, and finally found an opportunity to shout loudly.

"Huh?" Liu Shi was also tired and panting, and took the opportunity to go downhill: "How to say this, I heard that he is half finished!" ”

"Yes, it's halfway through, but I'm going to have problems next." Ye Neem recounted his discovery.

Liu Shi suddenly turned his anger into joy: "Okay, good, you deserve to let this little animal work hard in vain." ”

But in a blink of an eye, Liu Shi showed a sad face again: "Liu Gui is really stupid, the little animal asked him to find and sell bamboo, he dealt with it, but he really found a big seller for him, if the small livestock went to buy bamboo again, there are hundreds of thousands of bamboos, and they can always bypass that mountain...... Didn't you do it for him? ”

"That's why I have a way to get paid." Ye Neem grinned: "I went to see, the bamboo prepared by the little livestock is not enough now, and it must be bought." Didn't Liu Gui say it, now there is a Qinyang man named Qin Qinshou, who is selling moso bamboo here, he has dragged a total of more than 500 moso bamboos, and now he has sold 120 to small livestock. If we buy the rest of his money, where will the little animals go to buy bamboo for a while? ”

This suggestion made Liu pat his leg and say: "Okay, good, you old ghost, you don't have a stupid home, let's go buy it!" ”

Her hatred for Ye Chang had reached its peak at this time, and she didn't think about the use of buying those bamboos at all. It is said that Cheng Zhijie, the founding general of this dynasty, did buy bamboo to make bamboo and sell it when he was young, and after the matter was over, Ye Neem sold the bamboo to these carpenters.

The two have discussed and decided, their long-term branch has a large population, and their family background is more relaxed than Ye Chang's, but Ye Neem's eagerly mobilized cash is not very much, so Ye Neem had to pay some Liu's pressure money to the Liu family. Without further ado, it will change later, and Ye Neem saw that the sky was not yet dark, so he immediately rushed to Xiuwu County.

However, although he entered the city, it was already time to close the lock, Ye Neem took a loyal servant and found a place to live, only waiting for the market to open early the next morning to meet with Qin Qinshou, a native of Qinyang.

This night, Ye Neem continued to dream, with the good dream of finally taking possession of the three family properties, and the nightmare of his own family being ruined. The next morning, although he woke up early, his spirit was not high, and he was worried about the bamboo in his heart, and he did not eat breakfast well. According to the rules at this time, the market is not open in the morning, Ye Neem sent his loyal servants to keep an eye on the gate of the market, only to wait for the door to open and inform him, but when the sun rises, he himself is impatient, but the market is still closed.

Someone told him that he could give the person in charge a little money and sneak in, but Ye Neem was reluctant to do so, so he was reluctant.

He was thinking about going back to the couch to make up for sleep, but the loyal servant ran over with an anxious face: "Ah Lang, Eleven Lang is here, Eleven Lang has also entered the city!" ”

Neem's drowsiness suddenly disappeared!

"This little beast, you really thought of it, right?" Ye Neem grinned and scolded: "Hmph, come at this time, it's late, it's late......"

Speaking of this, Ye Neem took another breath and felt as if he had a toothache.

He came here last night in order to see that Qin Qinshou as soon as possible, but until now, he still hasn't seen the other party. Now that Ye Chang has also arrived, he wants to come so much...... Ye Chang had already traded with Qin Qinshou through the Chinese people before, and according to the rules of the merchant at this time, regular customers must have priority over raw customers.

"No, I have to go in...... Go, come with me! Neem stood up suddenly.
