The villagers were a little hesitant, they wanted to pretend to be refugees to work, work for a winter, get paid, and then quietly run back in the spring of next year.

But hearing what Jiao Dalang said, they were a little scared, afraid that Zhao Hanzhang would not let them go and punish them when the time came.

"Why don't you wait first, and then I'll go back and ask our county magistrate, if she still wants someone, I'll pick you up again?"

"Let's go with you, if she doesn't want us, we'll come back." What if he leaves and doesn't come back?

"yes, yes, there's a care on the road."

Jiao Dalang couldn't think of anything to object, so he could only respond, but said: "I'm going back today, you have to follow faster." ”

Although they are from two counties, the village is not far away, and it can be reached in half a day's walk.

Jiao Dalang and the others dug a canal near their village, which is not very far from here.

As soon as he responded, the villagers gathered together, and after discussing for a while, you called the family, and I told the relatives, and after a while, I brought a lot of people over.

Jiao Dalang saw that so many people had gathered, the older one could be his father, and the younger one was only eleven or twelve years old, and his feet were a little weak for a while.

He brought so many people back, the county magistrate wouldn't be so annoyed that he would also be thrown out of Xiping County, right?

But these people had been hungry for a long time, and at this time they were all staring at Jiao Dalang with faint eyes, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to let them stay, so he could only swallow his saliva and take them to Xiping County.

Zhao Hanzhang hasn't left yet, the reason why she came here on purpose is to inspect; The second is that because of the lack of water resources in this area, every time there is a drought, these villages are the hardest hit places in Xiping County.

So she deliberately dragged Professor Fu over to find the best place to dig a reservoir or drill a well.

Now the canal they dug is connected to a small river, but according to Lizheng, the small river does not have much water and has a poor water storage capacity.

Every year when there is a lot of rain, the water from the river overflows and floods the nearby farmland, and when there is a drought, the water from the river dries up quickly.

Zhao Hanzhang walked by the river, stretched out his feet and stepped on the mud by the river, and playfully used a wooden stick to pick up the ice cubes in the water.

Fu Tinghan walked around and came back, silently standing aside and watching.

Zhao Hanzhang turned her head and saw him startled, the wooden stick in her hand smashed uncontrollably into the river, the cold water splashed, she smiled embarrassedly, and explained: "I haven't seen frozen water for a long time." ”

"A thin layer of ice will break with a light knock," Fu Tinghan said: "I have seen it, the riverbed of this river is too high, and the silt has accumulated a very thick layer, instead of spending a lot of effort to build a reservoir, it is better to dig this river, dredge the river, and the water storage capacity will rise." ”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "The dug river mud can still be used as fertilizer, but there are too few people, I'll see where else I can draw manpower." ”

Now building houses, digging canals and building iron mines are major things that go hand in hand, and the manpower and material resources consumed are the largest.

At this time, all the manpower available in the county was used.

The two of them were pulling the labor everywhere, thinking that they really couldn't get manpower, so they squeezed it from Shang Cai's manor, maybe they could transfer some manpower.

Just thinking about it, a person ran from a distance, panting and waving his hand and shouting, "County Jun, County Jun......"

When he ran to him, he pointed to the direction of the village behind him breathlessly and said, "County Jun, Jiao Dalang has brought a lot of people back, and the lieutenant is furious and wants to drive Jiao Dalang's family out of our village." ”

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, "Didn't Jiao Dalang go to pick up his cousin and cousin?" ”

"Yes, as a result, he brought back a lot of people, all of whom were from Shang Cai's side, saying that they were coming to work."

But they don't have enough work to do, so why should they allocate it to Shangcai's people?

Jiao Dalang is really enough to eat inside and out.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "How many people did he bring back?" ”

"I haven't counted, I guess there are seventy or eighty people."

Zhao Hanzhang was surprised and delighted, "So many? ”

Fu Tinghan muttered: "I really fell asleep and sent a pillow." ”

Zhao Hanzhang felt that it was the same, so he pulled Fu Tinghan and left.

When the two of them rode back, they saw two groups of people standing up at the entrance of the village, and they didn't know who said anything, and the other group shouted: "If you don't give us a way to live, then no one will live!" ”

Zhao Hanzhang tried his best to suppress his smile, rode forward with a calm face, and shouted, "What's the noise?" ”

When the lieutenant in the crowd saw Zhao Hanzhang, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "County Jun, you come to judge the judges, these Shangcai people have to come to rob us of the work of Xiajiao Village." ”

The little smile between Zhao Hanzhang's eyebrows disappeared completely, and she glanced at Li Chang condescendingly, and saw him bow his head in horror, and then raised her eyes to look at the people who were quietly looking at her.

I saw that these people had yellow and thin faces, panicked faces, and uneasy eyes, ranging in age from twelve to forty.

Touching their mournful gaze, Zhao Hanzhang's face softened slightly, and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

Everyone, you push me, I push you, and finally pushed Jiao Dalang's cousin Qian Jin out.

He knelt in front of the horse and replied tremblingly: "Back to the county, we are all from Shangjiao Village, Shangcai County. ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked with interest: "The one called Jiaohe over there is from your village?" ”

Qian Jin Yingxia, "It flows down from the mountain not far from our village, and the river also passes through our village." ”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Drink the same river water, blood is connected, what is the upper corner, the lower corner, the outer village?" ”

She looked at the chief sternly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't say that you have a river of friendship, but no, they are also from my Jin, and I have taken in people outside Runan County in Xiping, can't I still tolerate relatives who are separated by more than 20 miles?" ”

When the people in Shangjiao Village heard this, they knelt on the ground one after another, and kowtowed to Zhao Hanzhang on the horse, "Girl, save us, we really can't live." ”

Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly dismounted and helped the people up, seeing their weak faces, their faces were also full of sadness, he turned his head and said to the chief: "Go and let people make a fire and boil water, make some batter for them, and let the brothers eat their stomachs first." ”

The lieutenant reluctantly went.

Zhao Hanzhang squinted his eyes and watched his back disappear, and as soon as he turned around, he smiled again, and pulled the eldest person in Shangjiao Village: "Let's go, let's find a leeward place to sit down and talk." ”

Zhao Hanzhang came forward to leave the people of Shangjiao Village, and the people of Xiajiao Village immediately tolerated them.

Originally, although the two villages are from two counties, they are very close to each other, so many families are relatives.

When the lieutenant chief asked them to stop the people of Shangjiao Village, they were also very reluctant in their hearts, but because the lieutenant chief said that the work was done for them, they had no more here, and it was the lieutenant who ordered them to stop it.

At this time, the misunderstanding was resolved, and several families with relatives immediately crowded over to find relatives.
