"Li Li!" Nangong Yuan directly called Lord Li's name, obviously angry, his expression was very cold, and he stood with a frowning face that didn't care about Lord Li, who didn't take human life seriously. Li Li looked at Nangong Yuan's unkind expression, and was stunned for a moment, because Nangong Yuan has always been gentle and gentle, and he is also used to his own words these days, plus Nangong Yuan has no intention of expressing and stopping, Li Li thought that Nangong Yuan was a soft persimmon that was very easy to handle, but he forgot that even if Nangong Yuan was a soft persimmon, his identity was there, after all, he was a member of the royal family.

"If that's right, what my father said is that I am fully responsible for this matter! I won't investigate your nonsense before, if my father knew that his courtier was a thing that didn't care about human life, and he didn't know what his expression was, what do you think he would do? Nangong Yuan returned to his usual gentle appearance, but his eyes had no temperature. Now Li Li knows that Nangong Yuan is not a soft persimmon.

However, Li Li was just stunned for a moment and reacted, no matter how precious Nangong Yuan's identity was, when he arrived in this poor and remote country, he didn't bring many people with him when he traveled with Nangong Yuan, even if he died quietly, no one would investigate the reason. After all, he is the unfavored Seventh Prince, as long as he solves the affairs of the southwest, the emperor will not be held accountable.

Thinking of this, Li Li unconsciously revealed his killing intent, how smart Nangong Yuan and Shen Fan were, they naturally sensed Li Li's killing intent. They didn't expect Li Li to be so bold, he actually wanted to murder people in the royal family, but it was also expected, after all, how could a person who could climb so high be a soft-hearted person.

"Master Li, let's go and rest." Shen Fan looked at Li Li with a very cold expression.

"Who do you think you are?" Li Li stared at Shen Fan viciously, with an unkind expression.

"Master Li go and rest first. According to what the Seventh Prince said, he will distribute the grain first. Master Zhang, who had not spoken all this time and had a very low sense of presence, spoke slowly. Master Li looked at Master Zhang incredulously, and didn't understand why as a colleague, Lord Zhang didn't help himself, but helped those who didn't matter. But he didn't dare to mess with Master Zhang, and when he saw him speak, he wasn't there

What did he say, snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and left.

"Zhang retired." When Master Zhang saw Lord Li leaving, he made a gesture towards Shen Fan and the Seventh Prince, and followed Lord Li away.

"Hmm."

"You come with me." The Seventh Prince came out of the room and saw Uncle Liu and the little boy standing outside, thought of something, and beckoned to them.

"Okay." The two of them are grateful to the Seventh Prince and Shen Fan in their hearts, in their hearts, Shen Fan and Nangong Yuan may be different from those officials, maybe this southwest drought can really be solved. Although they were standing outside, they could also hear the quarrel inside, and it seemed that there were disagreements inside, and they didn't know if it would go well.

Soon, the people knew that food was being distributed for free in front of the county magistrate's house, and they could get it in line to receive it, one bowl of porridge and steamed buns per person. In addition, the prefect also issued a notice to accept a large number of strong men and provide food. When this notice was issued, no one moved at first, because there was free food every day, who would want to do something that they didn't know and was not dangerous, but then Uncle Li took the initiative to invite Ying, and there were really many people who came, and then more strong men were willing to come. Because they heard that they were going to dig some ditches, they didn't know why, but they heard that it was to divert water. In their opinion, this work is not difficult, and there is food, which can be said to be a good thing for them who have been farmers all their lives and are used to doing farm work, because it means that they rely on their own labor to bring food for their families, and they feel some comfort in their hearts.

Shen Fan led these strong men to dig wells and ditches, and divert water for irrigation. Shen Fan and the Seven Princes inspected the local situation, they learned that there was a drought before, but it was not very big, relying on the food stored by the people at home can barely get through, this is the largest drought since the Qiming Kingdom, the longest time, the largest disaster, the most extensive. Shen Fan found that the ditch dried up, in addition to the weather, the most is the reason of people, since the water on the ground cannot be used, then use low water. This is also the reason why Shen Fan led the strong men to dig wells.

Moreover, the rivers in the southwest are not blocked from the outside world, but are connected together, but because of the underdeveloped technology in ancient times, the river

There is no construction of some engineering between the main stream of the stream, which leads to the fact that when the water rises, the water of the river cannot flow to the tributaries in time, resulting in major floods, and when there is no water, the main river is only in the main trunk and does not enter the tributaries, which leads to a major drought. Shen Fan took Nangong Yuan to look at the river, not only to see the drying up of the river, but also to see where it was suitable to dig a ditch and dig a river.

As expected, because this drought is the first time in decades, the groundwater is still very sufficient, unlike in modern times, where there is a shortage of groundwater. Under the efforts of Zhuang Ding and the monitoring of Nangong Yuan, good news soon came, and the well was full of water!

This news made the people feel uplifted. More actively joined Shen Fan's team.

"Shen Fan, why do you know that this well has water?" Nangong Yuan was obviously very puzzled, because of the drought, many people's wells had dried up.

"Because it's deep enough." Shen Fan was expressionless, this didn't require any skills and tricks. On top of the groundwater there will be a solid layer of stone, then the groundwater, then a solid layer of stone, and then the groundwater. Many wells dry up because their wells are not deep enough to touch the next layer of groundwater. Of course, the deeper the better, after all, everything needs a degree, and the overuse of groundwater can cause the ground to collapse, endangering the surrounding organisms and the environment.

"Oh."

After that, there were several wells with well water, and the people were enthusiastic and very happy, but Shen Fan knew that this was just a drop in the bucket, and this little water was not enough at all. Another excavation team connected another tributary of the river, but the river did not have a lot of water.

Southwest Palace:

"Lord Wang, their river is really out of the water." A man dressed as a butler said respectfully as the man in his seat was drinking. The man is not very stout, on the contrary, he is very weak, with a white-faced scholarly appearance, but the white hair on the temples shows that the man's age is not young, but the white face shows that the man is very young.

"Heh, this Seventh Lord has two hits." The man poured himself wine.
