Chapter 80: The Power of Water (I)

As early as last month, Chen Feng's glass workshop had already fired glass, and after many improvements, there is no problem with the glass made in the workshop to make telescopes.

This telescope was indeed a gift that Chen Feng was going to give to Gao Cheran, but it was only one of them.

The next night, when Chen Feng was still in the workshop, Zhou Fu brought him good news.

Gao Cheran really went to Guanshan Qianhu, and did not leave from Guanshan until noon today, and the direction Gao Cheran walked was clearly the direction of coming to Qingxi.

Upon learning of this news, Chen Feng announced the next day that a water opening ceremony would be held two days later to celebrate the achievements of migrant workers in the past few months.

"It turns out that Gongzi deliberately delayed the time to open the water in order to wait for Gao Cheran to come over," By now, Zhou Fu finally figured it out.

Liu Jun, who had worked hard in the workshop for more than a month, rushed into the house with an excited face, even forgetting his identity, and didn't even salute, "My lord, we succeeded!" ”

Chen Feng glanced at him with a smile, and said calmly: "I don't want people to know what is good, I spent so much silver, and I am not so kind, in addition, the county magistrate should be in a hurry to preside over the conference at that time." ”

As he expected.

As soon as Chen Feng was notified, Li Zhifeng summoned him and said that such an important matter, how could he be missing.

Chen Feng, who had been prepared for a long time, still deliberately pretended to be very embarrassed, and it was not until Li Zhifeng took out the shelf of his county order that he reluctantly agreed.

After seeing Chen Feng leaving, Li Zhifeng proudly said to Huang Anfu who came out from behind: "The kid who has not dried up is really unable to cure him." ”

Huang Anfu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Chen Feng's gradually disappearing back, and always felt that things were not so simple.

……

Soon, the day of water access arrived.

The sky was beautiful, the sky was clear, and the sun was not too hot in winter.

On the bank of the Fuchunshui River, not far from the county seat, a high platform has already been erected, and the red carpet has been laid out, and Qingxi County has gone up to the county order and down to the prison officials who do not enter the stream, no matter how high or low, they are all gathered here under the convening of Li Zhifeng.

On the side of the high platform, there is a newly dug river, and above the river, Chen Feng built a reservoir to prevent the next dry season from being used for the next dry season.

Of course, the difficulty of this river is not here, but in the section of the Saishui River, but the terrain is not flat, and of course it is not suitable to build a high platform to celebrate, let alone accommodate many people.

At this moment, thousands of people gathered under the high platform, stretching along the Fuchun water, and there was no end in sight.

However, when they saw Li Zhifeng taking the lead on the high platform, many people invariably raised doubts, and one of the men in front of them said indignantly: "Li Peel, when digging the river, I didn't see anyone, but when I counted the merits, I knew that I ran to the front, and it was obviously the credit of the county lieutenant, which is really shameless." ”

"That is, let's ask what efforts Li Papi made to build this river,"

The man next to him, who was still shirtless in the winter, said: "To put it mildly, the county government has not had any strength." ”

"Huh? Brother,"

A plainly dressed, peasant-dressed young man grabbed the man who was talking and asked suspiciously, "Why are you saying this so strangely?" Even if the county order of Li didn't make much effort, then the county lieutenant Chen was also an official of the imperial court, how can you say that it has nothing to do with the county government? ”

The person who followed the young man also said, "Yes, if there is no money from the imperial court, how can we do it today?" ”

Hear this.

The people around him all looked at him, and in the same way, their eyes all had the meaning of looking at the mentally retarded.

At this time, Li Zhifeng on the high platform had already begun to say some high-sounding words, simply put, how hard it was, and talked about the hard years when he personally supervised the construction under the cold wind.

The people below couldn't listen to it at all, and the two people who watched Shicai speak became more and more disgusted, and one of them said: "You two were specially invited by Li Papi, and how much money did you accept from him." ”

Hearing this, the dark-skinned man with a sturdy physique was very dissatisfied, and said: "Ridiculous, you must pay attention to real evidence when speaking, and you will be guilty of slandering at will." ”

"Listening to what you say, let's know that you must have been called by Li Papi."

"That's right, I really thought that I could pretend to be a peasant by wearing cloth clothes."

At this moment, all the officials on the stage were standing behind Li Zhifeng and listening to him quietly, Zhou Fu suddenly came up and whispered a few words in Chen Feng's ear, and Chen Feng looked down.

Naturally, he had seen Gao Cheran's portrait, and the people below had undergone a simple disguise, with some deviations.

But with Zhou Fu's reminder, Chen Feng naturally saw it.

But seeing that Gao Cheran blocked the man who said the wrong thing behind him, he bowed down and apologized, "A few people are wrong, we are from other counties, and we heard about the disaster relief of thieves by County Lieutenant Chen, so I wanted to ask curiously." ”

Several people saw that he was polite and courteous, and the anger in their hearts disappeared.

An old man with a gray beard immediately said: "So that's the case, then you have to keep your eyes open and see, our county lieutenant is Bao Longtu alive, not to mention the thieves and disaster relief,"

"He also redressed the unjust case, helped us rebuild the house, and persuaded Master Su to sell winter clothes to us at a low price, if it weren't for the county lieutenant, my old bones would have died thousands of times."

As he spoke, he also lifted the crutches in his hand and pointed at Chen Feng on the high platform, "No, that's the county lieutenant, you two just said something disrespectful, you should report to the county lieutenant." ”

Hearing this, Gao Cheran was directly stunned on the spot.

The men who were with him were very dissatisfied, thinking that they were and others.

But before he could have a seizure, the shirtless man said again: "Earlier you said that the county government would pay for it, and I told you that the money for repairing the river, the money for disaster relief, and the money for rebuilding houses after the earthquake were all paid by the county lieutenant alone, and they have something to do with the county government." ”

"Yes!"

With a little anger, one person glared viciously at Li Zhifeng, who was speaking above, and said: "This Li Peel, when he saw that the river was about to be repaired, he wanted to rob the county lieutenant of the merit and came up in a sedan car,"

"In fact, he didn't do anything, and forced us to build a house for him, we didn't have enough time to repair the river, he actually asked us to repair the house for him, and finally he didn't stay for a few days and couldn't stand it, and now in his mouth it has become a way to resist the cold wind and go down the river, it's really funny."

"And that kind of thing?" Gao Cheran was shocked when he heard this.

The man snorted coldly, "If you don't believe it, we can take you to see the house that was built for him in the first place, but it delayed us a lot of work." ”
