Chapter 181: A meeting in the village
"The thing I'm looking for you is very simple, just ask you to gather all the people in the village and say something. I guess that should be pretty easy for you, right? ”
Yao Muwan looked at Li Zheng with a sarcastic expression.
Li Zheng's mind was active, and he always felt that the things that Yao Muwan wanted to gather everyone to talk about must not be simple, and he wanted to give up in his heart.
"This, big girl, you don't say what's going on, how can I help you? Not to mention convening a meeting, which is rarely done. I can't help you inexplicably just because you're alone, can I? Or is it at this time of impending drought? ”
Li Zheng sighed and said bitterly.
But between the words, Li Zheng didn't want to help at all.
He is the head of a village, if he keeps letting this daughter of the Yao family command him, how will he establish his prestige in this village in the future?
I'm afraid that it will make them despise him. What's more, it is still a critical moment, and he can't take care of his water source, so how can he have this extra time.
Yao Muwan looked at Li Zheng's expression and snorted coldly, she really guessed correctly, Li Zheng would not agree to help.
"Village Chief, I think you're afraid you've forgotten Xie Shu, right? He's sold to our family now, and if you don't help, I'll let your son go." Anyway, your son should be able to get the people from the village to come, what do you say? ”
Yao Muwan said with a smile in her eyes, with no meaning in her eyes at all.
Li Zheng chuckled in his heart, yes, how could he forget that Xie Shu was still in this girl's house.
If he blames Xie Shu for this, his precious son will be planted.
Li Zheng's face suddenly became ugly.
"Big girl, you don't need it, right? Xie Shu is still young, how can you let him go? Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Didn't I promise to help you? But I only promised to help get people together. ”
Yao Muwan thought about it, but agreed very simply. She didn't expect Rizheng to do anything for her.
Soon, the people in the village were called to a compound by Li Zheng, and they were all very puzzled, and they couldn't help but talk to each other below.
"Do you know why the village chief called us?"
"How do you know, could it be that the village chief found a place with a water source and planned to tell us?"
"Cut, when did the village chief be so kind, I'm afraid he didn't want us to do something, right?"
...
Yao Muwan listened to the discussion of these villagers in the corner, and did not react.
I was thinking about what I would have to say for a while to get those people on my side and build the reservoir.
Li Zheng was stared at by the villagers and goosebumps were rising.
Hurriedly spoke: "Listen to me, I didn't ask you to come today. It was the Yao family girl who asked you to come. ”
"The Yao family? What can they do? ”
"No, don't you want to spend money to buy our water like the nobles in the city?"
One of the villagers frowned and spoke out in a hurry.
Yao Muwan walked out of the corner and looked at the villagers below.
"I'm looking for you for a big deal, because the village is about to drought, and if we don't think of anything else, I'm afraid we'll all die of thirst."
Yao Muwan said seriously.
"Yao Muwan, do you have any ideas? Can we all have water? ”
One of the villagers said to Yao Muwan.
The other villagers also looked towards Yao Muwan.
"Well, I do have a solution, but I need a lot of help, otherwise, my Yao family alone can only do enough water for our family. As for your home, we can only selfishly assume that we do not know. ”
Yao Muwan said with a smile, her face was still very unconcerned.
When the villagers heard this, their faces were very dissatisfied, and they looked at Yao Muwan sadly.
"Yao Muwan, you can't be like this, we are all from the same village. If you do, we don't agree. ”
The villagers all said indignantly, all of them asking Yao Muwan to help the village.
Yao Muwan didn't plan to hide her secrets, after all, if she was alone, she really couldn't complete the construction of that reservoir.
When it's done, it may be a year later.
But one year, her crops, pigs in the water or something, but they have to stop.
These are the economic pillars of their Yao family, if they don't have funds, they will be troublesome to do.
"Our Yao family knows this, no, I specially asked you to inform you, let's go get the water source together, right?"
Yao Muwan said with a smile.
The irritable hearts of the villagers gradually calmed down, and they all looked at Yao Muwan one by one, staring at her next words.
"First of all, I need a group of workers, and of course I want everyone to help, and I will draw what the reservoir we have built, and when the reservoir is successful, the water will also come."
Yao Muwan said calmly while looking at the reactions of the people below.
"And do we who are going to help have the money? We don't want to work if we don't have a salary, after all, we have to work hard without water. ”
The fifth aunt just can't get used to Yao Jiaguang's command.
Yao Muwan looked at the fifth aunt, with some fierceness in her eyes.
"Fifth aunt, if your family doesn't want to go, forget it, when the reservoir is completed, I hope you don't use the water in it."
Yao Muwan snorted coldly, and didn't even want to look at the fifth aunt again.
The fifth aunt was embarrassed by the gaze of those villagers.
hurriedly replied: "I, I didn't ask for everyone, how could our family not advance and retreat with the village." ”
However, the fifth aunt's words did not get the support of the villagers.
Everyone was talking in a low voice, but for a while, no one said that they would support the Yao family's reservoir.
Yao Muwan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, people in ancient times really had no foresight.
I don't know that before the complete drought, I can build a reservoir as a back road.
After all, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is not a joke in modern times, but it has played a great role in water.
"Ahem, everyone, be quiet, there is only a small part of the water in our village, and sooner or later it will dry up. Only by finding a new source of water can the people of the village survive. After a while, if anyone is willing to stand up and help, they will report to the village chief.
After Yao Muwan finished speaking, she looked at the village chief.
Li Zheng didn't react to the sudden roll call, but just looked at Yao Muwan in a daze.
"Ah, yes, come to me to sign up."
Yao Daming may have really reformed his ways, and the first one ran to Lizheng and reported his name.
Seeing that someone took the lead, those who had helped in the Yao family before were willing to believe in the Yao family, and reported their names without saying a word.
