Chapter 50: Planning
This matter is the same thing as what the people said at the beginning, Su Rongrong understood a little when he thought of this, as long as he found out that incident, these things would be explained.
There were still not many people around who believed Su Rongrong's words.
As we all know, finding water is a technical task, and it has always been possible for experienced and well-informed old people to explore water sources. If there is a big drought today, how many old people shake their heads and sigh, can a lame little woman be more capable than those old people?
It is impossible for the county master to be dizzy, so it is the fact that this little woman is swaggering and deceiving, and even the county master has been deceived by her.
Everyone thought so, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was this reason, and some people were muttering quietly beside them. The woman in front of her was a liar, and the thought spread quickly like fire.
The voice among the people gradually became louder, and Su Rongrong heard it, and his heart was also very uncomfortable. Wen Gong's face on the side became more and more ugly, and when he was about to get angry, a man in a green cloth shirt stood up from the crowd.
"Ma'am." The person who came respectfully saluted Su Rongrong, who was the initiator of the crusade.
He subconsciously blocked him with his body, looking very vigilant. Su Rongrong grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook his head to indicate that he was fine. Wen Gong reluctantly gave up a few steps, and his body still protected Su Rong tightly.
The anger in her heart disappeared by three points. Stretching out her hand and not hitting the smiling person, not to mention that the other party is so respectful, she is not easy to put on a face.
"You don't have to be polite, sir, if you have anything to say, I will definitely know everything."
"Madame has a point." The man in Tsing Yi said: "Madame just said that you have the confidence to find a water source, so the villain dared to ask Madame, does Madame really have confidence?" So many people had come here before Madame to explore, and even the most experienced old farmers said that it was very difficult to find water here. How can a lady have such a great ability? ”
When she heard this, anger rose in her heart that her ability was questioned. The ability to find water is her golden finger, the strongest backing she has ever traversed, and she has never made a mistake in months. The man opened his mouth to question her abilities, and his words were filled with contempt and disdain for the woman.
Su Rongrong took a deep breath, forcibly calmed himself down, and said:
"Sir's words are wrong, the level of ability is not because of age, but because of talent. The fact that I can come here and sit here is in itself an affirmation of my ability. ”
"What's more, since I came here, everyone has hidden something from me. So much so that I can't even investigate the most basic situation, what kind of water source can I talk about? Su Rongrong opened his mouth and said.
The man in Tsing Yi sneered, "Madame doesn't have to tell this kind of lie to fool me. Incompetence is incompetence, and a liar will never be true. It's better for the lady to leave as soon as possible, don't ruin your reputation in the end, the money is not earned, and even the person is divorced by her husband's family. ”
The man finished and left. The surrounding people were also discussing in low voices. Su Rongrong couldn't make public the fact that he had a golden finger, so he could only speak out to appease the people, and then left with Wen Gong and them.
Zhao Meng has not looked good since the man in Tsing Yi stood up just now, and Wen Gong has been with a dark face, if it wasn't for Su Rongrong to pull him, I'm afraid that he would have already made a move.
She's not particularly comfortable either. Although he had long been prepared to be suspicious, questioned, and verbally attacked, when this Xie Zhen arrived, his heart was far from being as calm as ever.
The three of them walked back in silence.
Back at the county magistrate's mansion, Su Rongrong met the county magistrate under the leadership of his subordinates.
"Blessed are you."
"Madame, please." The county commander hurriedly helped Su Rongrong up and asked, "The matter of the water source...... Madame has eyebrows? ”
"Please rest assured that I am sure of the water source, and I will never disappoint your expectations." Su Rongrong pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked, "It's just that there is still one thing, I don't know if the adults know?" ”
The county magistrate motioned for Su Rongrong to continue.
She crossed her hands over her dress and twisted her handkerchief, "I have visited most of the villages today, and there is no problem with the water source, but the attitude of the people makes me very puzzled.
"If there is a severe drought today, if there is no well water for irrigation, the fields will not be harvested, and it is undoubtedly a good thing to find a water source. But since I've been here, everybody seems to be hiding something from me, and every time they have an eyebrow, they jump out and make trouble......"
The county magistrate heard Su Rongrong's voiceover, and his brows immediately tightened. Su Rongrong didn't say anything, holding a handkerchief and thinking about all the people and things he met today, hoping to find some clues from the middle.
This matter is not something that can be found immediately in a moment, and the county order comforts Su Rongrong and allows her to find a water source with peace of mind, and these things can be left to the yamen.
She had no choice but to toss it aside and began to report on today's harvest.
According to Su Rongrong's sensing, groundwater exists in the collective villages close to the county seat. One of the water sources is deeper, but the volume of water is huge. Moreover, the location of the water source is extremely clever, just at the junction of the two villages. If the water can be dug up, two villages will benefit.
The prefectural magistrate was also very pleased when he heard this. If there is really a water source here, once it is dug out, it will be a great thing for the benefit of the people and the blessing of the people; This is a merit that no one can underestimate, and transfer and promotion are just around the corner.
"But is there anything else?" The prefectural commander asked eagerly.
"There are a few more, but not as much as that." She replied.
Then Su Rongrong picked up his pen and marked the location of several water sources on the map. "My lord, I want to start digging wells to divert water in these places first, as long as these are out of the water, the rest of the places will be much easier."
Naturally, there was no objection to the prefectural order. Su Rongrong took advantage of the victory to pursue, and proposed to borrow some people from the county government to use, digging a well is a manual job, and the villagers refused to help, so she could only come here for help.
"These are small things, and Madame need not worry. As long as Madame can find a water source, you will be a great benefactor of our county. The county order thanked Su Rongrong.
"Where, where, my lord's words are serious!"
She hurriedly reached out to stop her, and said a few more polite words with the county order, and then was pushed back to the small courtyard where she was temporarily staying.
Because there was an agreement between Su Rongrong and Wen Gong, since they came here, the maids and maids have been instructed by them to only serve outside, and no one is allowed to wait in the house.
At this time, there were only a few low-level maids in the small courtyard, and Su Rongrong pushed the wheelchair back to the room alone, wanting to find Wen Gong to further discuss what happened today.
But when the door was pushed open by Su Rongrong, the room was empty, and Wen Gong was not here.
