"Sui Ran, you take this silver first......"

Gu Meng spoke with some difficulty.

"Thank you, Sister Meng!" Sui Ran smiled slightly, "Sister Meng, I'll go back first." ”

Gu Meng didn't dare to look into her eyes: "Then I'll give you a ride." ”

Sui Ran walked in front, she walked behind, there was always a distance between the two, and she didn't want to ruin their respective reputations until the relationship was confirmed.

Gu Qing took Zhou Yi and Xia Zhu back after sending things, passing by the rice field, she carefully found that there was very little water in the rice field, and it was almost drying up.

How can this situation be used to grow a second crop of rice.

Isn't it raining in Gujia Village this year?

With doubts, Gu Qing walked into Lizheng's house, the children of Lizheng's family all went to the school to study, only Lizheng's wife was sewing clothes, and when she saw Gu Qing coming, she was a little surprised: "Why is the county lord here?" ”

Gu Qing smiled and said, "I'm here to talk to Li Zheng about something, is Aunt Li Zheng here?" ”

"Inside." Li Zheng's wife took a needle and shaved it on her hair, "Your Aunt Li Zheng didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I will go to the ground to see the sky later......

Looking at celestial phenomena is to speculate on the weather.

Just now, there is not a single cloud in the sky, and there will be no rain tomorrow.

Gu Qing stepped over the threshold and entered, and Li was sitting at the table, holding a book in his hand, a book about celestial phenomena.

This is the first time she has seen this kind of book for so long in this era, and she is actually moved.

However, this impression did not last long.

Li Zheng frowned, and shouted: "According to the records in the book, isn't it rainless, how can you plant second-crop rice without rain?" ”

Gu Qing was about to continue to speak, when someone rushed in at the door: "Li Zheng!" Oh no! Big things are wrong! There is a well in the village that does not produce water! ”

There are a total of three wells in Gujia Village.

These three wells have never been without water for decades, and now suddenly one of the wells does not have water, and everyone is panicking.

In recent months, the people in the village have been too busy, busy opening shops and doing business, busy going to work in the workshops.

The rice ears in the paddy fields were growing well, and no one noticed that it had not rained in Gujia Village for several months.

There was a lot of discussion outside the house, if there was no water, the yield of rice in the field would be greatly reduced, and without water, Gujia Village's business would not be able to sustain.

Li Zheng listened to the discussion outside the house, and sighed: "What can the county lord do?" ”

Her lotus pond is connected to the river, and she always felt that something was wrong when she picked the lotus root tips last night, and now she thinks that the water level should be wrong.

According to the normal water level, the water in the lotus pond should not be so shallow, so shallow that it is only at Yang Pei's calf.

And Yang Pei, as a Xinma Tian official, did not notice that it had not rained in Gujia Village for several months, this is a dereliction of duty, if this is really a drought, then Yang Pei is likely to be dismissed.

Without further ado, we have to think of ways to solve the problem of water use.

"County Lord!" Yang Pei rushed over with Gu Er.

"I found water in the mountains." Yang Pei carefully recounted the experience, "The water in the ravine between the two mountains has never been mined, it must be very abundant, if the water from the mountains is brought down and introduced into the rice fields, there will be no worries about running out of grain in the warehouse this year." ”

Li Zheng stood up suddenly: "Is this true? You can't talk nonsense, I'll believe it......"

The Gu family has lived here for hundreds of years, and they have never found that there is water on the mountain, and it is normal for Li Zheng not to believe it.

"Aunt Lizheng, I never make such jokes." Yang Pei said with a serious face, "However, I also have a reluctant request." ”

Li Zheng straightened his body, if Yang Pei didn't have any request, he would still be a little flustered, for fear that all this would be fake, give him hope, and then disappoint him, he couldn't bear this kind of pain.

Since Yang Pei still has requirements, it means that there is water on the mountain nine times out of ten true.

"My field is not enough......"

As soon as Yang Pei's words were halfway through, Li Zheng understood what he meant, and immediately said: "Don't worry, as long as what you said about the water source is true, I will allocate all the excess land in the village to you, but the price of fertile land is also expensive, and the market price is two taels of silver per mu......

Most of the most fertile land in the village is in Gu Qing's hands, and the rest are from the Li Zheng family, where can Yang Pei rob other people's things.

He said: "I want the wasteland under the mountain, when the water on the mountain flows down, it just passes through this land, and the wasteland will definitely become fertile land in the future, many crop veterans in the village should know this truth, I am afraid that they will soon come to Li Zheng to buy land, can I ask Li Zheng to buy this land for me first?" ”

This requirement is not a requirement at all, the people in the village do business, and those who go to work in the workshop go to the workshop, although everyone has money, but there are few people who buy land.

Maybe everyone thinks in their hearts that being a farmer is not as good as working in business.

Li Zheng immediately agreed: "Okay! As long as there is water, I will sell you that piece of land immediately! ”

Gu Qing didn't expect that Yang Pei had a plan, and he also found the water source first.

"Thanks to you this time!"

Yang Pei smiled: "If I don't know anything, how can I work hand in hand with the county lord?" ”

After Gu Qing and the others left, Li Zheng's eldest daughter walked in: "Mother, why did I just hear you talk about water, when is there water on the mountain?" ”

Li Zheng repeated Yang Pei's words.

"Really?!" Jin Hua Niang's face was full of disbelief, "He is worthy of being a six-grade Xin Ma Tian official, he is really capable, I only thought he was taking advantage of Gu Niangzi's light!" ”

"What are you talking about?" Li Zheng scolded angrily, "What is the matter in our field that is not the guidance of Yang Tianguan?" Again, be careful that I pump you! ”

Li Zheng's wife agreed: "I see that the husbands and daughters-in-law of the county lord are all smart and capable, you look at Yu An, how well he manages the shops in the village in the town, and now even the shops in the city are in charge of him, and Zhu Han, the business has been done in the capital......"

Gu Qing and the others walked through the ridge to the avenue, and at this time, the people in the village who tended to the crops in the fields gathered under the honey locust trees.

"There's no water in the well, what did you say?"

"What can Li Zheng say, she can't turn into a well."

"There is a well stopped today, if we stop another well tomorrow, what can we do?"

"The nearest is Dongjia Village, and I don't know if the people of Dongjia Village are willing to lend us water."

"A little farther away is Zhangjia Village, there are five wells in Zhangjia Village, you can go there to see ......"

"Pull it down, that group of bastards in Zhangjia Village, can you give us water? I don't believe it. ”

The people of the village came up with each other's ideas.

Although there is a place to fetch water, after all, it is too far, and it takes almost two hours to come and go, and there are only two buckets of water, which is not enough for daily use.

The first thing Gu Qing did when he returned home was to go to the kitchen, but fortunately, the bucket in the kitchen was full of water, which should have been picked today.
