Gu Jinxiu continued to knock on the door.

After a while, the door opened again, and when the little maid saw that it was still her, she immediately said: "You go quickly, I won't let you in, my lord hates reading people the most, I don't want to be scolded." ”

Seeing that the little guy was about to close the door, Gu Jinxiu immediately reached out to push the door, trying to stop him, "Little brother, go tell your master, I can help him solve the matter of diverting water into the farmland." ”

The little servant looked Gu Jinxiu up and down, and saw that she was white-skinned, thin and weak, obviously a scholar, where she seemed to know how to farm, and refused with disdain: "You go quickly, if you don't leave, I will let the dog go." ”

Gu Jinxiu's afterglow caught a glimpse of the drooling big yellow dog inside the door looking at her fiercely, her little heart trembled, let go of her hand, and the door closed again.

Walking back and forth at the gate of the mansion, Gu Jinxiu walked more than ten laps and didn't think of a way to get in, so she sat on the stone steps at the door, put her hands on her knees, and held her head thinking that she would sit here and wait, she didn't believe that Master Zhao would not leave the house today.

Time slipped away little by little, I don't know how long I waited, Gu Jinxiu heard a burst of footsteps, she raised her eyes and saw that three people came from not far away, and then, she heard a conversation.

"Hmph, the people of the Huang family are really rude, if it weren't for the county order there, I wouldn't have go."

"Dad, don't be angry, the county order is not for the sake of Gao Xiancheng's face to go to the Huang family, do you think, now that the eldest brother has become an official in the imperial city, can the county order come, when the time comes, don't let the Huang family enter the door, won't it!"

"yes, haha... I'm not angry, let's go, we quickly ordered someone to arrange the house, and waited for the county order to come to our house. ”

After hearing these words, Gu Jinxiu felt funny in her heart, these two families were really troublesome, and seeing that they were about to come to her, she quickly got up, patted the dust on her clothes, stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen Master Zhao below, Master Zhao." ”

Master Zhao asked, "Who are you?" ”

Gu Jinxiu looked at Master Zhao's father and son, the two were very similar, gentle and elegant, very bookish, why don't they like to make friends with literati. In the blink of an eye, she retracted her gaze and said, "Below is the village chief of the third surname village, who wants to negotiate a deal with Master Zhao." ”

"Three surnamed villages?" Old Man Zhao paused, and suddenly remembered who this person was, "You are Gu Xie Yuangong." ”

Gu Jinxiu nodded stiffly, "It's exactly below." ”

Cheap brother is quite famous!

Master Zhao observed Gu Jinxiu, this person he heard his eldest son say, full of talent, but he lost in Chunqiu, it's a pity!

"What are you looking for me?" Su Ri has no intersection with this person, this person is awe-inspiring, not like a person who will slap others!

Gu Jinxiu said confidently: "Come here today to help Master Zhao solve a troublesome matter, in exchange, I will trouble Master Zhao to help solve a troublesome matter." ”

Master Zhao looked at Gu Jinxiu for a long time, didn't see her intentions, and refused: "Gu Gongzi heard that I don't like to deal with nerd people, not to mention that I don't have anything to worry about, Gu Gongzi, please go back!" ”

After speaking, Master Zhao raised his feet and walked forward.

Gu Jinxiu turned around and faced behind Master Zhao, and said in a loud voice: "The Zhao family's farmland is below the Huang family, in previous years, because there was no water in the field, spring plowing was postponed, and the land was not easy to rent out. ”

Master Zhao's footsteps stopped, turned his head to look at Gu Jinxiu, and saw her confident look, and said loudly: "You come in with me!" ”

Old Master Zhao and his son brought Gu Jinxiu to the living room.

After the three of them sat down according to the host and guest, Yahuan served tea, and after Gu Jinxiu drank tea to quench her thirst, she thought about talking about the transaction first and then doing something else!

Gu Jinxiu explained his purpose again and said, "Master Zhao, I can help you solve this matter in the future, can you solve a matter in the future?" ”

Master Zhao planned to wait for Gu Jinxiu to say first, but seeing that she had been drinking tea, he was a little impatient, thanks to Gu Jinxiu who spoke, otherwise he would have sent people away.

He put down the teacup and stared at Gu Jinxiu closely, seeing that her expression was clear and upright, which made people inexplicably believe that she could solve the matter.

After a moment, Master Zhao calmed down, retracted his gaze, and asked, "I don't know what Gongzi Gu wants me to solve for you?" ”

Gu Jinxiu didn't sell it, and said directly: "Master Zhao must also know that in previous years, the people in our three surnamed villages rented land from Master Huang's house, but this year because of some things, the villagers can't rent land, so I want to ask Master Zhao to rent land for them." ”

Master Zhao smiled and said, "You came to solve the water problem for me, for the sake of the villagers of your three surnamed villages." ”

Gu Jinxiu nodded honestly, they didn't know each other, so it was better to be sincere!

Master Zhao was very satisfied with Gu Jinxiu's attitude, so he said, "Say, if it is feasible, I will consider giving the people of your village a rough land." ”

Consider?

Gu Jinxiu frowned, and after a while, her eyebrows stretched, and the corners of her lips were hooked, so she could hide her secrets and throw them away.

After thinking about it, Gu Jinxiu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and then handed it to Master Zhao and said, "This is a waterwheel, which can provide water for Master Zhao's farmland." ”

Zhao Gongzi asked in surprise: "This can make the field have water?" ”

Gu Jinxiu nodded, the waterwheel appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was an irrigation tool invented by the ancient Han working people. However, there is no such thing here.

She gestured with the Zhao family father and son: "The car is more than ten meters high, and it is supported by an axle five meters long and half a meter in diameter, which spreads out in a radial shape. ”

Trying to make the two of them understand the meaning of this picture, Gu Jinxiu then said: "The top of each spoke carries a scraper and a bucket. The scraper scrapes the water, and the bucket fills the water. The river rushed, slowly turning the spokes with the inertia of the movement of the water potential, and one by one the buckets filled with river water were lifted up step by step. At the top, the bucket slopes naturally, pumping water into the aqueduct and into the irrigated farmland. (The information of the waterwheel comes from Sogou Encyclopedia)

After hearing this, the father and son of the Zhao family looked at Gu Jinxiu together, their eyes were full of admiration, but Master Zhao had his own little abacus in his heart, and said: "Gu Gongzi is really smart, this thing is the first thing in Dongxuanguo, and it is also a thing that benefits the country, you are afraid that I will take it out to win benefits." ”

Gu Jinxiu was stunned, she really didn't expect that Dongxuanguo didn't have this thing, but she didn't plan to ask for this benefit.

She just wants to solve this matter, be a messy village chief, An An will earn money, and if she can't pay the money, she will change her vest and run away.

"This is a deal with Master Zhao, and what Master Zhao wants to do with it after that is a matter for Master Zhao, and it has nothing to do with it, and I will not say that this is my idea, and please don't say it."

For a while, the father and son of the Zhao family couldn't figure out what Gu Jinxiu meant, and Master Zhao thought that it would be good for this matter to fall on his family, "If you want to rent land for the villagers, I agreed, and I will also reduce the rent by one percent for them." ”

Reducing the rent by one percent, Gu Jinxiu knew that Master Zhao was selling her a favor, not to mention that it was a good thing for the villagers, so she did not refuse to accept the matter.

The two parties negotiated, Gu Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, now it's time for the Lin family's whereabouts, after solving the problem, she can earn money with peace of mind, she feels very happy when she thinks about it, her good days are coming.

Gu Jinxiu, who was thinking about saying goodbye after drinking tea, didn't expect Master Zhao to say something that almost choked her to death.
