Chapter Ninety-Eight: Please call the harvester in the hearts of the people

A month is a blink of an eye.

The general Wei Qing was buried next to Liu Che's mausoleum, and was given the title of martyr by Liu Che, and at the same time built Wei Qing's tomb according to the shape of Yin Mountain to show his merits.

In ancient times, it was important to see whether a person was important to the emperor, and some positions and exploits during his lifetime were not important.

If he can be buried in the emperor's mausoleum, it proves that this person must be very important to the emperor.

People always don't know how to cherish when they have it, and they always think that these things are normal and don't care.

But the moment you lose him, you will really realize how stupid your previous self was.

Although Liu Che did not regret Wei Qing's death, because Wei Qing's death had nothing to do with him, it was a normal process of birth, old age, sickness and death.

But now, Liu Che has begun to gradually fear death.

Of course, it's just a trivial feeling, and it's not that intense.

But when some of Wei Qing's old subordinates gradually moved closer to the crown prince Liu Ju, Liu Che was a little panicked.

Although Wei Qing is a minister, Wei Qing also represents military power.

No matter how much Liu Che suppressed Wei Qing, he could never shake Wei Qing's prestige in the army.

And Wei Qing is a sensible person, he knows what to do and what not to do.

The existence of Wei Qing has a good balance between Liu Che and some people, although he doesn't want to admit it, Liu Che still has to admit that with Wei Qing here, Liu Che doesn't need to worry about any problems in the army at all.

Now Liu Che has quietly entered another state, and once he can't get out of this state, the consequences will ......

……

Lantian County.

When the sun was scorching, even the slightest steam could be faintly seen in the air, and the air couldn't help but twist.

In the fields, the bustling people looked nervously at the ground, anxious and didn't know what to say.

A month ago, they responded to the government's call and began to build aqueducts on their respective lands and connect all of them together.

Even Liu Ponu didn't expect that it would be so simple to govern in these years.

He only told the people that they needed to build canals, and that when the time came, they would bring water directly to their land, and without even saying how to do it, the people rushed up and went to the fields before dawn in the morning, and went to the fields before dawn, and refused to go home until sunset.

The canal had been repaired a long time ago, but the water had not come, and it was only at this time that the people gradually panicked.

"My lord, this water can't come from nowhere, right?" An old farmer looked at the empty canal with a worried face.

"Isn't it because the bastards in front of you robbed the water?" Someone said suddenly.

"He dares to ......" Li Zheng's old face was horizontal, this is a matter personally organized by the county government, even the county order is standing here, do those people upstream dare to intercept the water?

But no one seems to be able to say for sure, depending on the weather, it will be another big drought this year, if it continues like this, it will be difficult for people to draught, as for these crops, it can only be left to fate......

But now that there is water, you can water it one more time, and the final harvest will always be much better than not watering.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng also couldn't sit still: "Erwa, you have quick legs and feet, hurry up and run along the canal to see where the water is, if they rob you, don't make a noise, come back and inform us immediately." ”

"Paparazzi, you take a few people to prepare for the guys' affairs, if those bastards upstream dare to intercept the water, Lao Tzu will have to knock them to death today!"

"Good ......"

"Why? What are you doing? What if my prefectural ordinance doesn't exist, right? Looking at the fierce folk customs, Liu Ponu stopped speechlessly.

said in front of the county order that I want to fight, where do you let me put the face of the county order?

Weapon fights were a common occurrence during the Warring States period, and the government at that time racked their brains to solve this kind of thing.

But when it comes to the issue of food production, which is the fundamental issue of human survival, this kind of coordination has no effect at all.

Later, the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and the Qin State began to use strict laws to restrain such large-scale armed fights.

The concept of not holding the public accountable began to disappear from this period.

After a few examples, the rest of the people began to be honest, but this kind of thing still happens from time to time, but the frequency is not as frequent as before, and the scale is also not as big as before.

"The ground is so dry, you pour a bowl of water on the ground and see if it will be saved? The canals are newly dug, even if they are hardened, the water will inevitably be lost when passing through, this is the first time to divert water, there are ten buckets sent up, and it is good to be able to get here for a bowl, just wait slowly! Liu Ponu reprimanded with a dignified expression.

"My lord, if it takes ten buckets of water to deliver a bowl, then why bother with all this effort? Why don't we go straight to the river to fetch water! ”

"It's just the first time it's like this, and when the water shades through the perimeter of the canal, the loss on the way will naturally be small, and after three or five days, I guarantee that the water in this canal can cover my feet and neck!" Liu Ponu said confidently.

The canal is not a high-end thing, and they can't afford to play it if it's too advanced, and they don't have the strength or the energy and time.

It is simply to dig a trench on their respective ground, and then people go up and step on it with their feet, or smash it with tools, and try to harden what can be hardened.

"Water! The water is coming......" Suddenly, a sharp-eyed young man suddenly pointed to the canal in front of him and shouted excitedly.

Liu Ponu glanced at it, but he didn't find any water at all.

However, seeing that the people had already run over excitedly, Liu Ponu still followed and took a look.

Then this walk is a distance of more than 100 steps, looking at the slow, the water flow that is about the same size as the amount of urine is flowing forward with difficulty, Liu Ponu has to admire the eyes of the goods, the tip of Zhente Niang.

"You are still well-informed, with this canal, as long as the river continues to water this year, our harvest will not be bad......"

"My lord, you are the god in the sky, I have been planting all my life, and I have never been so comfortable as this year......"

When the water came, the people were instantly full of gratitude to Liu Ponu.

Don't underestimate a mere canal, and don't underestimate the water level that Liu Ponu promised to cover his feet and neck.

For the people of today, even if this is the case, it is enough.

They only need to stay in the field for a short time to fill a bucket of water, and even to put it a little exaggeratedly, after having a canal, they can water an acre of land with two buckets of water before.

And the water is in the ground, and I used to hate to water it drop by drop, even if it was sprinkled outside the rhizome, I would feel distressed.

But now, they can fantasize about watering the ground very arrogantly, and they can water it half-scoop and half-scoop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you must be very excited now, but please put aside your excitement for the time being, this water can't be moved for the time being, let it flow to the downstream village first, if we move this water now, then we ourselves will become the bastards we just said...... Liu Ponu joked with a smile.

"Yes, my lord is right, even if there is a drought now, I will hold on for a few days!" Li Zheng immediately stood up and agreed.

"While we can't water the ground yet, let's gather together to do something to prepare for the future, although the water in the canal can always be there, but maybe one day the river will dry up? Therefore, we must have the awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and we must also take the opportunity to save some of this water. ”

"In the next few days, led by Li Zheng, choose a place near the canal in our village, dig a big pit, it is best to choose a slightly lower place, if there is a condition, build a roof for him, and after everyone has finished watering, slowly store water in this pit, so that even if the river dries up in the future, the water in this pit can also be used for our emergency needs...... Liu Ponu said very down-to-earth.

I can't afford to build a reservoir, and I don't have the capacity, but it's okay to build a small puddle or two in a village.

In the later stage, it was nothing more than building a few waterwheels, and even if the river dried up, it could still send water to the ground.

Although Liu Ponu was not sure when he would use this thing, looking at the excited appearance of the people below, Liu Ponu knew that his suggestion was correct.

Storing water and storing food, for the people, in fact, the meaning is the same, there is not much difference, these are both things that can save lives at critical times.

"Yes, listen to my lords, let's live in peace...... What's going on? Li Zheng scratched his head with embarrassment, then shook his head with a smile, if he can't remember, he can't remember, what can't he fight?

"Let's listen honestly to the adults, and strive to dig out this puddle as soon as possible, and when the time comes, it doesn't matter if he is rewarded by God or not, let's grab a bowl of rice from him first, and then talk about ......."

"Well said......"

In the crowd, Wang Wu smiled inconspicuously.

The people so support a county order and trust a county order so unconditionally, this kind of picture has not been seen in recent years.

Until now, Wang Wu didn't think that Liu Ponu had done anything, it was just a canal.

But this also reflects his wisdom, why do other counties recruit conscripts and curse in private, why do other counties want people to dig canals, except for forced conscription, don't want people to take the initiative to work?

Why can't it work in other counties, but it can work in Lantian County?

Wang Wu couldn't figure it out, but this didn't prevent him from seeing that these people really loved Liu Ponu, and even said without hesitation that if Liu Ponu was allowed to stay here for two or three years, then he would say that he would rebel, and I am afraid that these people would follow him without hesitation.

Wang Wu couldn't have imagined that in just over two months, Liu Ponu had already mastered the hearts of the people in Lantian......
