Chapter 114: Repair the Aqueduct

The Liu family had to hear the Xie family's compensation, but she was proud in her heart, she had never taken such a big advantage, although she lost half an acre, she still made money. On the way back, I talked to Old Man Wei happily.

Old man Wei looked at him with disdain.

Chu Jianniang looked at it and shook her head secretly: Habits are difficult to change, and nature is difficult to change!

If you want to talk about the matter of the Xie family now, in the end it has become a talk handle in the village, that is, Chu Jianniang heard it, and she was afraid that she couldn't help but interject and say a few words, and then sighed: There are many strange people and strange things in this world, and if you see one, you should teach a long lesson, and don't bother with it in the future.

But recalling the behavior of the red pepper, it was also on the way back, Chu Jianniang couldn't help but ask Wei Xuan: How about a woman like Jiao Chunniang?

Wei Xuan pondered for a while, his brows twisted, and finally said, "Xie Qi has suffered." ”

Chu Jianniang nodded in agreement, and after thinking heavily, Rao asked intentionally and seriously: "If I become like her, will you endure coaxing me like Xie Qi?" ”

Wei Xuan peeked down and looked a little disdainful: "When didn't I coax you?" ”

Taste this in detail...... Not quite right.

Chu Jianniang slanted her eyes slightly: "Aren't you saying that I am the red pepper?" ”

"Red peppers?" Wei Xuan questioned, and suddenly recalled Jiao Chunniang's fiery redness, and felt that this description was appropriate, so he nodded.

Chu Jianniang looked at it and gouged out her eyes, "Sleep on the futon tonight." ”

Wei Xuan: "......"

However, these words were quietly heard by the old man Wei and the Liu family who were walking in front, and the two elders both turned their heads and opened their eyes.

Chu Jianniang's face suddenly burned and turned red.

Wei Xuan smiled unkindly.

Seeing that this person was happy, Chu Jiaoniang slandered: The bedding is divided.

A few people came down from the slope, under the clear blue sky, the clear water ditch was rippling with blue water, and it was vast. In the rice fields next to the clear water, there were many people standing with trousers rolled up and digging trenches with shovels.

The shovel dug a second way, and dug up the clear water in the field turned yellow, but the water that did not reach the waist of the rice seedlings could not be drained, and the people in the water were anxious.

Old man Wei sighed: "Whew! On the surface, there is no big problem in irrigation and drainage of farmland in Longshan Village, but in fact, when irrigating water every year, it is necessary to wait for the government to transport water trucks to irrigate it uniformly. When draining, there are no canals that can drain excess water out of the field. Especially after the rain, you can't walk. It's so sad! It's really a shame that our field is on the slope. As long as Xiao has enough water. ”

Wei Xuan listened, and also looked at the front of him, with a slight hint of deep thought.

Chu Jianniang also cast her eyes.

In previous years, the rain was not as heavy as this year, and although it flooded the fields, it did not flood a large area as much as this year. In the past, because the family's fields were too high, I never worried about this problem, but today, it seems that this is a great hidden danger

"If it's so difficult, why doesn't the government come to repair the canal?" Chu Jianniang asked.

Old man Wei said: "The official mansion has already been repaired. ”

"Fired?"

Wei Xuan looked at it, nodded and said, "Qingshui Ditch is a canal built by the government ten years ago. When the ditch was dug and the ditch was dug and the ditch was dug in Longshan Village, there were few households in Longshan Village, and the government wanted to bypass this place, but the village chief at that time begged the government to dig a ditch here.

"Later, when the population increased, the land was used more, and they were all self-cultivated farmers, and the fields were scattered, whether it was irrigation or drainage and drainage, only one canal was not enough."

"After that, many people dug some small ditches and ditches to their own land for their own convenience, in short, digging and blocking, without a correct plan, and now it has become like this."

Chu Jianniang listened, "Then why don't you report to the government and open another canal?" I think that if this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that there will be a lot of incidents in the rainy years in the future. "Like what happened to his family today.

Wei Xuan said carefully: "It's not so easy, you have to report it step by step, and finally you have to wait for the Ministry of Industry to review and approve the official bank before you can do it, which is an extremely long thing." In addition, now that the court is in turmoil, someone has reported it this year, and I am afraid that no one will pay attention to this little matter in the village. ”

What Wei Xuan said was reasonable, mainly because the new emperor was now governing the internal court, but ...... Chu Jianniang didn't feel that way.

"Wei Lang, why do I think it's the opposite?"

As soon as the objection came out, it was Liu who turned his head and glanced at her.

Chu Jianniang said: "Although the court is turbulent this year, the people left by the official family must be people who do practical things. ”

"If this matter can be reported, I think that not only will no one dare to ignore it, but maybe someone will rush to do it, so that he can make a good impression in front of the new official family."

As soon as he said a word, he woke up the person in his dream, Wei Xuan stared at a pair of surprised eyes, and looked at Chu Jianniang. Suddenly, he laughed, and surprisingly hooked Chu Jianniang's shoulder and patted it over.

"Good insight, good insight. At this time, there must be a lot of people in the court who want to keep the black gauze hat, and those who are lacking in behavior must do everything possible to think of wearing guilt and making meritorious contributions. ”

This is exactly what he meant, but Chu Jianniang almost tripped and fell on him with her elbow.

Wei Xuan not only didn't feel anything, but instead brought her closer together, and rubbed her porcelain white and permeable face.

The old man Wei and the Liu family in front of them saw the commotion of the little couple, and their hearts trembled, and they tacitly agreed.

Then one of them began to mutter: I have to go back to feeding the chickens. The other man's mouth was busy: yes, yes, it's noon, and it's time to eat.

Looking at the second elder who fled, Chu Jianniang completely scared Wei Xuan away, "What are you doing, in front of your father, you don't hold back." ”

Wei Xuan smiled: "Happy for my husband." It's a pity that the lady is not a staff advisor. ”

Chu Jianniang squinted: "I know the compliment." ”

Wei Xuan was happy in his heart.

As everyone knows, Wei Xuan's interest is these current events. Chu Jianniang can inadvertently talk to him about these things again and again, and she already has another insight into her in her heart, in front of Wei Xuan, Chu Jianniang is a very unusual woman.

Such an unusual woman, can you not let him love and be happy?

Wei Xuan was not too hot again, and hugged her over.

Chu Jianniang really dislikes it......

The matter of water accumulation in the farmland has become more and more hot, and many people have come to the village chief and Li Zheng to ask for a solution. Wei Xuan seized the opportunity and talked with the village chief Li Zheng and others about re-digging the canal.

Who wouldn't want to dig a ditch to solve this problem now?

But he also knew the difficulty of digging the canal, which had to be a decision made by the government, and it was mainly a matter of money. Yes, all of them made a deep reflection and embarrassment. All in all, I am afraid that I will have to contribute my own money and efforts.

Wei Xuan touched a few people clearly, and then patted his chest as a guarantee, and he went to the official mansion to say that he took the matter down.

The village chief Li Zheng and several people couldn't ask for it.

After Chu Jianniang learned that Wei Xuan was so confident and heroic, she couldn't help but slander: In the end, she knows the people in the yamen, and Yuan Shihai is afraid that she is also a brother and sister, and she is also a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

However, after Yuan Shihai heard about the ditch digging, he vetoed it.

Reason 1: There is no large amount of flooding. Even if there is, it is only in the farmland, and many of the Li Zheng and the village chief have organized people to solve this small problem, so there is no need to make a big move; The second reason is that there is nothing else to say about Wei Xuan, because of the turmoil in the court, many people dare not make any moves.

When Wei Xuan heard this, he picked up what Chu Jianniang said, added flowers and leaves, lured them, and sent them to Yuan Shihai's ears with heart.

It can be imagined that the original Shihai has been an official for ten years, without great achievements or big mistakes, although he is also sleek, but he does not dare to be too tactful, so it is still only a small county order on this side. It's a pity that many people say it.

Do you want to say that Yuan Shihai wants to be promoted? That's what I thought. But how to rise, how to rise? For several years, Yuan Shihai has been thinking about this problem. The conclusion is that he didn't have this life.

In the back hall of the yamen, in the room separated by a screen carved with plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums, Wei Xuan said:

"Now that the heavy rains have fallen, there must be floods in many places, so if we take this opportunity to relieve these floods for the people, and then dig ditches and ditches in the villages that have not been dug and ditched. After such a big project, the upper authorities will definitely know. ”

"Let's not talk about whether or not Lord Yuan can be promoted, but in this kind of court, it is a time of turmoil, and everyone is worried about their black hats. If people know that there is a good official like you in our Qianzhou, who works for the benefit of the people, it is worth it, isn't it? What we are doing is for the benefit of the people. ”

Yuan Shihai twisted his beard at the end of the peak, and his face with a few wrinkles fell into a thought, as if he felt that it made sense, and nodded at the end.

muttered: "The people take food as the sky, and if the people have no food, there will be no health of the country." ”

Wei Xuan raised his hand and saluted: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Afterwards, Wei Xuan whispered a few words in Yuan Shihai's ear.

Yuan Shihai's eyes lit up at that time, and when Li Cao opened the canal copy, he handed it to his head.

It was also the afternoon of the same day, on the village road in Longshan Village, the village chief took the lead, and some villagers gathered on the main road to wait for news from Wei Xuan.

Seeing Wei Xuan come back, the village chief leaned on crutches, trembling and couldn't wait to meet him and asked: Is it done?

Wei Xuan smiled brightly, and said hello, so that everyone could rest assured, this matter is done, just wait for the copywriter to send it, and the approval from above can come down.

As soon as these words came out, the villagers on the road cheered, and they all hoped that this matter would be settled and solved as soon as possible.

Chu Jianniang watched from afar, and suddenly felt that Wei Xuan was a beam of light in the crowd, a beam of light that could make her happy. However, while he was happy, he unexpectedly heard a disdainful voice in his ears.

Just listen to the sharp voice and hum: "Cut! What's the big deal! ”

Chu Jianniang glanced sideways, and saw the red pepper swaying and turning away.
