After discussion, the villagers gradually reached a consistent result, no matter who wanted to be a stumbling block on their way to prosperity.

The next day, representatives of dozens of households gathered outside the village chief's house to express their support for the construction of the canal.

The village chief was furious.

In his opinion, the villagers' move was undoubtedly to rebel and challenge his supreme authority, so he pointed at everyone's noses and scolded angrily for a while, saying that he wanted to raise the next tax in the open.

Now that the villagers have come here, they are ready to be embarrassed.

At the same time, I also figured out that even if I paid more taxes, as long as the rice really could have a high yield as described by Wu Xianxian.

Why don't you care about paying more taxes if you can't live a good life?

"Village chief, we will pay as much as we should for this tax, but this construction of a canal is a good thing, and we still feel that it should be repaired."

"That's right, village chief, we all have no opinion on the construction of the canal, you should think about it."

The village chief sneered twice: "I received news from the top some time ago that the official road leading to Songtao is going to be renovated, and it is estimated that there will be a conscription issued soon, so you should prepare in advance." ”

"Do the work, just do the work."

"Go when you need to."

The villagers don't care.

"You bastards, labor and management have made it very clear, I forbid the construction of dams for the sake of the whole village, don't you understand?"

The village chief pointed at the crowd in front of him again, and scolded angrily.

"No, village chief, Mr. Su has already thought it through, what can be the problem?"

This time, it was the turn of the village chief to be helpless, and the most effective taxes and forced labor for the villagers in the past were also ineffective.

The hospital door can only be closed and the procrastination meter can be continued.

...

And He Gaoming, on his side, had already gone to Jiulihe Village to buy the first batch of stones, and they were transported to Zhuwo Village under his escort.

From the moment the ox cart carrying the stone entered the village, it attracted the attention of many villagers, and they followed behind to find out.

The bullock cart eventually stopped outside the cornucopia company.

Su Baiya walked out of the company and was slightly surprised when she saw the stones on the ox cart: "Uncle He is very fast." ”

"I'm in a hurry, I want to do something at hand" He Gaoming said with a smile: "Mr. Su, you see that these stones are all carefully selected by me, square and angular, and it is the best choice to build them on the riverbank." ”

"Yes, you're sorry." Su Baiya paused and said, "Just tell the job to be unloaded outside this company, anyway, the stone is worthless and bulky, so you don't have to worry about others stealing it." ”

"Just uninstall here?" He Gaoming was puzzled: "Why is it so troublesome, I will directly ask the guy to pull it to the mouth of the dam, so as to save the second transport." ”

Su Baiya looked at the villagers who were gradually gathering around and onlookers, and said regretfully: "The plan to repair the dam has actually been canceled, since the stone has been transported, I still bought it, and it is not bad to put it outside the company as a stool when the time comes." ”

Without waiting for He Gaoming to ask what the reason was, the surrounding villagers couldn't help but speak.

"Don't, Mr. Su, why don't you go and talk to the village chief again."

"It's a good thing to build a canal, don't stop."

Su Baiya shook her head and sighed: "Everyone, I basically don't make money from this fruit mushroom, you know, and the rice I plan to let you plant in the future is the same, as well as building dams and canals and collecting ponds, the cost of which will be very large, and in the end, it is actually convenient for you." ”

"And the village chief can also benefit in this matter, because everyone's income is higher and they are happy, and the taxes paid will naturally increase, and the village chief is on the county government's side."

"But what can I do if others don't appreciate me, I'm contributing money and effort, as if I've gained a lot of benefits."

"Since others don't appreciate it, forget it, and I won't do thankless things."

"Let's disperse."

"Uncle He followed me to get paid."

Just when Su Baiya was about to enter the cornucopia company, I don't know who yelled: "Mr. Su, let's go ahead with the canal repair, let's find a way, let's go and tell the village chief." ”

Su Baiya nodded slightly, as long as the villagers were on her side, it would be impossible for the village chief to stir up any waves.

......

Although the villagers only care about their own three meals a day, they don't care much about other things.

However, this is limited to the premise that their own interests will not be affected, and the construction of aqueducts can be closely related to their real interests.

And the suspension of the construction of this dam is the most angry Wang An.

On the day of recruitment, it took the old nose to move the piece of bluestone and win the opportunity to work.

As soon as this work stopped, not only did he lose his salary and income, but his family couldn't open the pot, and he lost a big face in vain.

I was angry and had no place to reason.

On this day, the village chief just pushed open the courtyard door and poured a chicken in soup with a bang.

On another day, the village chief had just walked out of the door and stepped into a pit with his crooked foot.

Another day, the village chief went out smoothly, and he didn't go far and hit him in the face.

The village chief was furious again.

gathered the villagers together, vaguely expressed the tragic experience of the past few days, and said that as long as the perpetrator is reported, he can enjoy various benefits and benefits.

waited for a long time, but in exchange for silence.

Not to mention for the time being, how bold are the people who dare to break ground on the head of the village chief, they must be cautious when doing such dangerous things, and they will not leave their feet behind.

And the chief of the village was again guilty of public anger.

Even if someone knows the slightest clue, they will keep their mouths shut.

Unable to get an answer, the village chief finally had to give up.

The villagers dispersed, and their hearts blossomed with joy.

I hope that in the future, the village chief can still tell his sad experience, so that everyone can be happy.

On this day, Wu Xian continued to wander around the village, recalling in his mind which family's food was delicious, and by the way, he went to promote the benefits of rice and water canals.

A carriage approached at a rapid pace and suddenly stopped beside him.

A head poked out of the car window and said happily: "Doctor Wu, I finally found you." ”

Hearing the familiar voice, Wu Xian's brows gradually gathered, pretending not to hear it, and speeding up his pace and continuing to walk forward.

"Don't wait for me, doctor."

Mrs. Xu no longer had the feeling of weakness she had when she came last time, and she got off the carriage quickly with light steps, and trotted with her skirt to catch up with the footsteps of Wu Xian.

As soon as the year was over, she couldn't wait to rush to Zhuwo Village, how could she let the immortal slip away.

"Doctor Wu, what are you hiding from me?"

Mrs. Xu asked suspiciously while trotting.

Wu Xianxian knew that Mrs. Xu was pregnant, and if he accidentally fell or something, then he didn't want to be peaceful, so he had no choice but to stop.

turned around and showed a look of surprise: "It turned out to be Mrs. Xu, I was thinking about things just now, I didn't hear you calling me." ”
