Chapter 086: The Drought Begins to Appear

Coupled with the money given by Zhen Yigang, Liu An now has more than 24.7 million yuan, which is enough to buy a Taishou.

It's just that Liu An's foundation is not stable, and if he takes out so much money to buy officials, he will immediately become the target of public criticism.

It's okay to be a county lieutenant with only one or four hundred stones, but the people of the family won't pay attention to that kind of petty official at all.

Other people who buy officials, even if they are not from a family, must be a wealthy family, and they have a sufficient foundation, but even so, they are still rejected by the family, not to mention the declining clan relatives like Liu An.

And if Liu An wants to compete in the world in the future, he will inevitably rely on the talents of the family, so his reputation is still very important.

If it is a last resort, otherwise he really doesn't want to buy an official.

As for the promoted county lieutenant, it was indeed a last resort, and Wei De also knew that Liu An did have a hard time, so he thought he would help him explain it to the family.

After dealing with business matters, Liu An and Zhen Yi had lunch together, because Zhen Yi was leaving tomorrow and had many things to arrange, so he left early.

After that, Liu An called Zhang Qian, told him many things that need to be paid attention to in Luoyang in the future, and gave him another million money for his life in Luoyang and what he needed in case of emergency.

Then Liu An went to the side hospital to check the condition of cats, dogs and carrier pigeons, and saw that they were in good condition, so he was relieved.

Then it was time to pack their bags and let everyone pack their personal belongings on the wagon, and at the same time the gold cakes were also loaded on the wagon, and there were books and slips from Cai Yong, which just filled a carriage.

After packing his luggage, Liu An went to take a shower again, and he had to travel for several days starting tomorrow, and he couldn't rest well.

When the time came to the evening, Liu An arranged for someone to send 500,000 yuan to Cai Yan, and at the same time brought a bottle of vitamins and some gifts to Weide's house.

After this period of conditioning, Wei Ning's gums have completely reduced their swelling, he can eat normally, and the subcutaneous bleeding has also been reduced a lot.

During the meal, Liu An instructed Wei Ning to reduce the amount of vitamins from tomorrow, only need to take it twice in the morning and evening, and after ten days, it will be reduced to one pill a day until all the vitamins are eaten.

At the same time, we should pay attention to supplementing fruits and vegetables, so that we will basically not do it again.

Wei De saw that Liu An gave another bottle of vitamins, and he was grateful to Dai De, needless to mention.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu An asked Liu Bei to drive, sat on the other side, and rushed to the city gate with Gao Sheng and the escorts.

Wei Ning's family waited early at the gate of the city in the direction of Zhuojun to see off Liu An.

Before leaving, Wei De took out a letter and handed it to Liu An, saying that this was a letter to the new county commander of Zhuo County, and Liu An handed over the letter to the new county commander, and the county commander naturally knew what to do.

Liu An was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't expect Weide to prepare such a big gift for himself.

Hedong Wei family, that is a family that has developed since the time of defending Qing, how great the energy is, needless to say.

Gao Sheng, as the county lieutenant of Zhuo County, can only make the new county commander dare not move lightly, but with Weide's letter, he can take the initiative to win him over.

There is an essential difference between the two.

In this way, Liu An can indeed go to Jiuyuan to take office with confidence.

After that, Liu An thanked him, the two said goodbye, and Liu An got in the car and left Luoyang.

After leaving Luoyang for more than ten miles, Liu An looked at the cultivated fields on both sides of the official road and couldn't help frowning.

Leaving Zhuoxian on the twentieth, it was already the middle of April, the temperature was gradually rising, and the sun was gradually becoming hot.

And since the shower on the day of the collision with Wei Ning, it has not rained for a long time.

In the fields on both sides of the official road, the dealers were steamed and wilted.

Liu An only knew that there was a drought this year, but he didn't expect that it was only in April, and the drought would show signs, and he couldn't help but worry about the crops on the farm.

After lunch, Liu An changed places with one of the guards and let him sit in the carriage, while he rode his horse and rushed to Zhuoxian as fast as possible with Gao Sheng and ten guards.

The speed of the carriage is too slow, and if you take the carriage all the way back, it will inevitably take longer than when you came, and if you go back late, the crops in your own field will inevitably be reduced.

After changing into horses, Liu An and his party rushed to Zhuo County at a faster speed than when they came.

On the eighth day, Liu An, who had already entered Youzhou, was riding a horse and was hurrying, when he suddenly heard a system prompt.

[Ding - The system detected that the manor was suffering from a drought, and some crops were in poor condition due to water shortage, so the upper limit of the system kettle was temporarily opened and upgraded to an endless kettle.] The endless kettle does not need to be recycled back into the system, and it can be poured continuously at all times. ]

Hearing the system's prompt, Liu Anxin was worried, and waved the whip even harder, urging the horses to run faster.

In the evening of the second day, Liu An arrived at the manor.

Too late to go home, Liu An first went to the manor to see the crops.

After calling Qu Ze to ask about the situation, Liu An learned that there were still 3 acres of carrots that had not been irrigated.

Since yesterday, the water overflowing from the well has not been able to provide irrigation, and the 10 acres of carrots planted at that time have not been completed for this round of irrigation

Today, the well overflowed with some water, but because of the drought, there was not much, and after leaving the water for the Zhuang people to eat, only 7 acres of carrots were watered, and there was no water in the well.

Liu An went to the radish field to take a look, and saw that although the carrot was a little wilted, at least it was not dead, and it should be able to recover after watering it tomorrow.

Then Liu An went to see the potatoes that had been planted at the earliest, and found that the potatoes were ready to be harvested, so he asked Qu Ze to arrange for someone to harvest them tomorrow morning.

In addition, the spinach is also ready to be harvested, but Liu An has no extra seeds to plant, so he is ready to wait for these spinach seeds to be harvested before planting spinach.

Then, Liu An hurried home to meet his mother.

After having dinner at home, Liu An told his mother that he would not sleep at home tonight and would come back tomorrow morning, so he rushed back to the manor.

Liu An called Qu Ze and other management and told them not to let the Zhuang people sway around the village at night.

Then after the Zhuang people were all asleep, Liu An brought three or four guards to look at the wind for himself, and he used the endless kettle of the system to add water to the well one by one.

After the endless kettle was upgraded, Liu An only needed to maintain the action of pouring water, and the kettle could keep flowing out, and then Liu An simply removed the lid of the kettle and directly held the kettle to fill the well.

However, as long as Liu An straightens the kettle, the endless kettle is no different from an ordinary kettle filled with water, and it will not overflow.

During this period, when Liu An was tired of lifting the kettle, he would let the accompanying guards pour water into the well instead of him, and when he was tired, he would change to another person, and several people would alternate, so that he would not be too tired.

These guards are all Liu An's dead soldiers, so there is no need to worry about the secret being exposed.

It was busy until dawn, when the chickens were crowing, and Liu An added all the wells on the village.

After nine days of travel, he was already tired, and he didn't sleep all night, and Liu An was extremely tired at this time.
