Chapter Forty-Eight: I'm Sorry My Best Friend, I've Secretly Quitting Drinking
"That's right! There must be a new decree from the lieutenant, so we'll just wait. ”
At this time, Pu Feng's face was full of spring breeze, and he bowed to Xu Zhen and said, "Captain, it seems that you can do that...... The cistern is up. ”
"Good! I'm with you! Xu Zhen's eyes lit up, and he became interested.
Reservoirs, tap water, once these things are completed or promoted, they will bring convenience to the whole Yanzhou.
Such an achievement, you must always be involved in it.
Pu Feng and the others glanced at each other and immediately bowed, "The captain is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, which is admirable." ”
"Captain Renyi!"
"Thank you, Captain, for all your hard work."
"The captain has worked hard!"
"Captain Xu, this kind of skill is more convenient than the last Quyuan plow, you are really our benefactor!"
An elder in the common people by the river, his hands trembled, and he couldn't stop sighing.
With this kind of emotional words, Xu Zhen can feel the sincerity of his inner feelings, how can he not be touched in his heart.
By the river, the people who came were ordinary people with mud feet and shabby clothes, and their appearance was not very dignified, but their expressions were rare and sincere.
Some people even want to crawl forward and express their gratitude to Xu Zhen.
From exile to the world, I don't know where to go.
went to settle Yanzhou and got the land of Gu'an.
It's like a lifetime again.
But now there is still nothing, there is no money and treasure at home, and what they can use to express gratitude is the knees of their parents who only kneel in heaven and earth.
Xu Zhen immediately gave up his hand and said loudly: "You don't have to be like this. ”
"In the lower body, in his position, he should seek his own government, and if he is the captain of Tuntian for one day, he must let you eat enough."
"That's my job."
Next to Xu Zhen, Cao Ang's face was also excited, and his face was quite moved.
It was the first time he had heard such sincere words of thanksgiving.
In the past, what I learned by my father's side was mostly to kill and re-enforce the rituals, resettle one place, pay attention to the law and etiquette, and discipline oneself to keep the law.
At this moment, the place is divided into serious and equal parts, there will be no chaos, the layers are downward, the officials are clear, and the good officials can do it, so that the people can be relieved and rich step by step.
But in this way, there is a lack of warmth.
Now the first thing he learned from Xu Zhen was to truly love the people.
Naturally, it can be supported by the people, so if the people's hearts are all like this in Yanzhou, the land of this state should be solid of gold and iron, and the mountains and rivers will not be broken!
So why worry about the great cause.
Father, you understand why you have asked me to learn from Brother Berwen day and night.
He is really a rare peerless celebrity in the world, so benevolent and righteous, admirable.
"The grace of the captain, we will never dare to forget!"
The elder was still excited, and Xu Zhen also knew that it was difficult to persuade, so after bowing down again, he left the river alone, letting Dian Wei continue to stare here.
Only half a day passed.
Pu Feng led people to make a cistern, connected the mouth to the wooden barrel with a bamboo pipe, and then asked Dian Wei to push the handle rod with manpower.
Dian Wei has great strength, and he is not human.
So the water is also very large.
Then Pu Feng and the others continued to make pipelines, and after Xu Zhen came, they connected to farmlands all over the country.
This is busy, even for several days, and I can't take care of anything else.
But new things are naturally new to the military, civilians and civilians.
Even Dian Wei himself was very happy, and sometimes he played all day these days, receiving water into the huge canal stone trough.
Then new pipes were built so that the water could flow elsewhere, and it was much easier to irrigate the farmland, and the canals that were drained in the first place made more sense.
It can be solved where it is close to water, and farmland that is not near the water is taken from wells.
The water spiral created by Xu Zhen is not as efficient as in the well water, but it is also much more efficient than manpower.
Thus word of mouth spread among the people, and within a few days the news spread again, attracting many other officials.
For a while, Xu Zhen became famous again, and even alarmed Cao Cao.
……
"What?! Can the water come in? ”
When Cao Cao heard the report, he was naturally stunned.
Water can be taken from low places and then irrigated in farmland.
This is so efficient that tens of thousands of people can be solved.
Once Yanzhou is extended, such valuable manpower can be used for other purposes in the future, so that the brave and strong people of the countryside and a small number of farmers can take care of the farmland.
Wouldn't that mean that more people could harvest the mountains and forests, cut down wood and stone mines, and even find iron tools to forge armor.
They can also graze in the wild to get horses, cattle and sheep.
Either way, manpower is the most valuable.
"In this way, it really solves the problem of hundreds of years," Cao Cao certainly knew, when the first emperor had thought about solving the difficulty of irrigation, so he ordered a man-made waterwheel to get water.
But the utility is not as high as it seems.
Waiting for the troubled times to come, it has gradually been abandoned, and only a few peaceful township pavilions are still in use.
Xu Zhen's method is really a huge help, and in the spring ploughing of the next year, more farmland will inevitably be cultivated.
"My lord, this is not only feasible in Yanzhou, but also in Xuzhou!" Xun Yu was very excited, and immediately gave up his hand, "You don't have to plow at the beginning, this should be a pioneer!" ”
"Bowen's talent is rare in the world, and such an achievement can no longer be just for the captain of Tuntian."
"Not bad!" Cao Cao took a deep breath and immediately smiled: "Let him go to office, as for the edict will naturally be issued in the spring next year." ”
"Even if the edict of the Son of Heaven is not available, I will also let him be the Taishou of Chen."
"Let him send officials to take up their posts in various places in Chenliu, and as for his government office, he can change the current pawn farm office into a government office for official business and stay in Juancheng."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he smiled, "I can't bear him to go to Chen Liu." ”
"As for the general who Chen stayed to guard, it will be arranged by Zihe."
Cao Chun and Xu Zhen have an excellent relationship, and in the battle of Xuzhou, the tiger and leopard cavalry have made a lot of achievements, and it is not difficult to recruit troops in the country.
It's best to let him go to garrison.
Once there is a war, Xu Zhen will also go to Chen Liu's office to discuss with him, and the two of them may be able to make meritorious contributions.
"Zhicai! Let Zihe be fully prepared, after the spring of the next year, I will sweep away the thieves in Yuzhou. ”
"Zhicai?!"
Cao Cao shouted twice.
Xi Zhicai, who was on the side, reacted and hurriedly bowed, "Lord." ”
"What's wrong with you?"
Cao Cao frowned, could it be that he has been busy recently and has a lot of worries.
"But what's so hard about the Winter Plague?"
"Not ......"
Xi Zhicai's expression was bitter, as if he was smiling but not smiling.
Cao Cao and Xun Yu looked at each other.
What's going on?
Could it be that you are sick?!
At this juncture, don't also be infected with cold disease, at the end of the year, there are many people who die of cold disease.
"I'm just thinking about it...... This water can come from itself. ”
"What's wrong with the water?"
The two asked in unison.
Xi Zhicai cried and mourned, looking at Xun Yu on the left and Cao Cao on the right.
I can't say anything when the words come to my mouth.
"Say!"
"Hurry up!" Cao Cao urged.
Xi Zhicai suddenly became numb, "I reminded him of this." ”
He recounted what had happened.
"Now, I should keep my promise, listen to his advice, and dare not drink again." Xi Zhicai almost cried, from now on, basically say goodbye to drinking, I'm sorry for Yingchuan's best friend, and secretly quit drinking.
But the oath he made must be kept while crying.
Otherwise, he will be retributed, and maybe one day he will lose his life due to a serious illness.
There was silence in the hall.
"Really, it reminded him in one sentence?!"
"And then you got such a feat?!"
Xun Yu asked repeatedly, how incredible this is, this Bowen's quick wisdom is actually getting smarter and smarter.
Cao Cao took a deep breath, very happy in his heart, but also quite worried, "Bowen, you have really grown up again......"
At the age of twenty-three, he has such wisdom.
Respectable and lamentable.
Cao Cao always felt that something was urgent.
Gotta get him a wife! To talk about the heart, the family business is set here, so that there can really be a place of warmth! You can still think of me all the time!!
……
Meanwhile.
Within Xiaopei.
Jian Yong hurriedly entered the main hall, all the way to Liu Bei, who was writing at the desk, and immediately arched his hand: "Lord, I have found a good match and beauty below, which may make Bowen happy to accept it." ”
Liu Bei looked up in surprise, "Really?!" Tell me which woman it is? ”
