"The soil on the mountain is hard, mixed with sand and gravel, and it will definitely not work in a quarter of an hour, so we will count it for two hours......

Yang Pei had already calculated countless times in the night, he had calculated an account with everyone, with Gu Er's demonstration in front, and Yang Pei's reasonable words in the back, most of the people in the village had been convinced.

At this time, Li Zheng walked up and said, "This is a major event for all of us in Gujia Village, so every family must send two or three young and strong laborers over the age of sixteen to participate in digging ditches.

A small number of people will be skeptical.

"Lizheng, what if there isn't so much water on the mountain?"

"Lizheng, what if half of this water doesn't flow, my family's field is far away and the water can't flow?"

"Lizheng came down so far from the mountain, seeping water all the way, and the water ran out before he reached the field?"

"Shut up!" Li Zheng looked at everyone coldly, "If you don't want to contribute, you can, when the water from the mountain comes down, don't want to drink a sip of your rice!" Others who still have comments can quit now! I don't care if people with foreign surnames want to quit, if it's the Gu family, whoever withdraws, then I will open a ancestral hall and remove the name!"

Li Zheng rarely got angry, and at this time, no one dared to say anything, and they all went back to get farm tools honestly.

There are more than 1,000 middle-aged laborers in Gujia Village, and there are six or seven hundred people from two or three families, and a group of people carry shovels, hoes and other tools up the mountain.

The construction began at a distance of three zhang from the water source, and the route had already been planned, first of all, a hundred people were assigned to be responsible for cutting down trees and leveling the ground, cutting down big trees, and finding a way to move away if there were big stones, so as to clean up the planned road.

More than 500 people were divided into two groups to dig ditches in turn, and each two people cooperated to take charge of one zhang, and slowly moved to the foot of the mountain.

Rotate once an hour so that the people involved in digging the ditch will not be paralyzed.

The rest of the people were personally led by Yang Pei, using the cement bought by Gu Qing Mall, and repairing the dug canal with cement and good concrete, so that no water would be wasted.

The women and mothers-in-law of the village and the rest of the young adults who did not come are responsible for the normal operation of the shopping street.

Yang Pei was also among the working crowd, and those women passed by Yang Pei and couldn't help but stop and laugh.

"Yang Tianguan is worthy of being the master of the county, I think when you first married Gujia Village, I thought that Yang Tianguan would be able to achieve a great cause one day, and sure enough, uncle's vision is so vicious!"

Yang Pei: "......"

It's the first time I've met someone who is bagging about himself! In the past, he still felt that Gu Qing was a little cheeky, but he never thought that this was actually the commonality of the people of Gujia Village!

"Are there any younger brothers and sisters in Yang Tianguan's family who are waiting to be married?"

Yang Pei knew the situation of his family, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "...... They're young."

"It's okay to be young, my daughter is not very old, she looks handsome, Ming'er, I'll bring her over to give you and the county lord the palm of your eyes first."

"Your daughter can't do it, she's too lazy, my daughter is diligent, Yang Tianguan, you also know my daughter, her name is Lu Hua, I'll let her come now......

Yang Pei was shocked by the woman's enthusiasm, why hadn't he found out that his younger siblings were so popular before?

….

He prevaricated: "My mother's family is poor, and I ask for a lot of bride price, plus the two younger brothers and sisters below are only eleven or twelve years old, so I really don't think about this matter, thank you uncles and aunts......

As soon as he said this, several aunts and uncles who were carried away finally remembered that no matter how smart and promising Yang Pei was, even if he had the support of Gu Qing, the county lord.

When the Yang family beat Yang Pei to death and threw it at the door, they could see it clearly, in order to ask for the bride price, they really beat their children to death as enemies, such a family, forget it.

A few people carried buckets up the mountain to fetch water and cement, and just after a few steps, they suddenly saw a few sneaky people in the forest ahead.

"A few people over there seem to be people from Zhangjia Village!"

"Why are the people from Zhangjia Village here, what do they want to do, do they want to rob us of the water in Gujia Village!"

"Whoever is running fast, go back and inform Lizheng!"

At the foot of the mountain, Li Zheng and Gu Qing were talking under the honey locust tree where the village held a special meeting.

On the sand on the ground, a zigzag road was drawn, which was a schematic diagram of the ditch, and the map was marked everywhere.

Gu Qing took the branch and drew a line on the top: "Make a living hole here, after the water in the rice field is enough, fill the ditch with mud, and when necessary, pick up this piece of mud again......

Li Zheng nodded frequently: "I just don't know how many years this ditch will last after it is dug."

Gu Qing tried hard to recall the experience of his previous life, and said slowly: "After coating a thick layer of concrete, it will not be a problem to use it for decades......

Li Zheng asked curiously, "County Lord, how do you know so much?"

Gu Qing coughed dryly: "Didn't you like to drink before, drinking friends talk about everything from all over the world. I also talk about farming, and if I listen to it more, it will naturally be."

The original owner's love of drinking is well known, and Li Zheng naturally does not doubt it.

While the two were talking, Gu Cao quickly ran over, panting and said, "Li Zheng, it's not good, the people from Zhangjia Village are here!"

Li Zheng frowned, and then sneered: "This mountain belongs to Gujia Village, and the water on the mountain naturally belongs to us, and again, this mountain is closer to Gujia Village, and we gathered six or seven hundred people to start construction, Li Zheng of Zhangjia Village has done a lot of hateful things over the years, and the people in the village will not be willing to go up the mountain to dig ditches to work."

Having said that, Li Zheng still decided to go up the mountain.

When Gu Qing got home, Mama Liu had already made a lot of meat pies and put them on the table, and there was a pot of white rice porridge and some kimchi next to her.

She and Xia Zhu went up the mountain with food, and when they walked two-thirds of the way, they saw Yang Pei and Gu Er digging a pit with farm tools, tired and sweaty, but they didn't even have time to wipe their sweat, and even Gu Qing didn't notice it.

Gu Qing naturally didn't bother them, sat on the side and waited for a while, and then it was a shift change, and Yang Pei and Gu Er were replaced to rest.

"County Lord, why are you here?" Yang Pei wiped his sweat, "There's no sun here, why is it still so hot!"

Gu Qing glanced at the sky and asked, "Do you want to continue working tonight, or go back to rest......

As soon as Gu Qing finished asking, several forty-year-old men on the side said loudly:

"Keep digging, of course!"

"Li Zheng told Yang Tianguan for two and a half days, then we will work overnight, and we will dig to the foot of the mountain tomorrow night at the latest!"

"I can't wait for the rice in the field, hurry up if you can, don't be lazy!"

Nine days to catch the rabbit
