184 If you want water, take silver
Liu Xiancheng pulled the chief aside and muttered: "Chief Lin, how do you want to solve this matter?" You give an explanation. ”
The lieutenant shook his head slowly and said, "There are so many people in our village who have been injured, this matter must not be counted like this." ”
"And what do you want?" Liu Xiancheng asked.
"Lose money." Captain replied boldly.
Liu Xiancheng sighed, and said in a good voice: "Lin Lichang, you and Fangjia Village are gathering people to fight, and it is already good that the yamen will not cure your crimes. ”
Li Chang asked angrily, "Then this matter is settled?" It's obviously Fangjia Village that is unreasonable....."
Lin Qianqian listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and couldn't help but interject: "Lord Liu, second grandfather, of course this matter can't be counted like this." ”
Both looked at her at the same time.
The lieutenant chief glanced at her frantically, he was afraid that the little woman in front of Lin Qian would not be able to speak and offend Lord Liu.
Liu Xiancheng asked with a smile: "I don't know what Miss Lin has to say?" ”
That attitude was so kind that it stunned the lieutenant and the people around him.
Liu Xiancheng doesn't care about other people's eyes.
He could see clearly just now, Zhao Ding's gaze in front of Lin Qian was too unusual, so he dared to conclude that the relationship between Zhao Ding and Lin Qianqian was definitely not ordinary.
Zhao Ding couldn't offend him, and he couldn't offend Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qian said: "So many people in our village were injured, it was completely caused by the people of Fangjia Village who came to steal water, they wanted to steal water for food, although we understand this behavior, but we do not agree with this practice." This water is what we have worked hard to bring down, but we can't cheapen the people of Fangjia Village in vain, since they want water, discuss it with our big guys, maybe we will give it to them, but they didn't do it, but they used it from the beginning, they couldn't steal it, and they forcibly robbed it, this kind of practice, the county government can't condone it, right? ”
Liu Xiancheng nodded.
He said in his heart that he was really careless just now.
He was bent on solving the matter, and he was bent on the mud, and he really didn't think about this matter deeply.
The county government connived at others to steal and rob, and this reputation was really buckled on the head of the county government of Dachun County, and the county magistrate designated him to chop him into scum.
Lin Qian did not change his color, and said calmly: "This water is more than 500 people in our village spent more than half a month to lead down, our village has spent a lot of manpower and material resources, this water can be successfully led down, not without a price, I estimated, the cost of our village water diversion is about 600 taels of silver, it can be said that now the water in the river and the rice field is bought by us with silver, and the people of Fangjia Village don't spend a penny, they want to use the water of our village in vain, how can this matter not be justified?" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.
The people of Quxi Village were extremely surprised, it turned out that the little work they did was so valuable?
The people of Fangjia Village secretly complained.
Lin Daniu calculates this water so valuable, she doesn't want to settle accounts with them, right?
Liu Xiancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn't continue to deal with this matter with the principle of turning big things into small things and turning small things into nothing, otherwise he would really be conniving at thieves and robbers.
Liu Xiancheng nodded and said: "This matter is indeed the fault of the people of Fangjia Village, but the water of Quxi Village was obtained by their own village, and the people of Fangjia Village dug the embankment in the river without the consent of the people of Quxi Village, in order to steal, and the people of Quxi Village blocked it, but the people of Fangjia Village in turn beat the people of Quxi Village for robbery." This is both stealing and robbing, and it is justified and reasonable for Fangjia Village to compensate the people of Quxi Village for the medicine money. Lin Lichang, you carefully list the injuries of each villager, as well as the medicine money needed, and go back and ask the people from Fangjia Village to send them to you. ”
"Great!" The lieutenant deserves to be louder than ever.
The villagers of Quxi Village cheered, and they couldn't help but cast grateful glances at Lin Qianqian, who nodded and smiled with everyone.
The faces of the people in Fangjia Village are like dead ashes, all like frosted eggplants.
Liu Xiancheng saw that everyone had no objections, and felt that this matter was successfully resolved.
He waved his sleeve, ready not to take a cloud with him.
Lin Qianqian suddenly said: "The people of our Quxi Village are all simple and honest people, not the kind of domineering people, this water, we can share it with the people of the neighboring villages, but there is one condition." ”
Everyone looked at Lin Qianqian in unison.
Lin Qianqian smiled and said to Liu Xiancheng: "Lord Liu, I have just said that this water is equivalent to our village spending money to buy from the mountain, if people from other villages want to use water, they can only lead it from us, and we are also willing to make it convenient with others, if people in any village want to use water, they only need to pay two hundred taels of silver, and this water will be led by that village." ”
When the people of Quxi Village heard this, they were all shocked.
Oh my God, if a village collects two hundred taels of silver, won't their village be rich?
The people of Fangjia Village opened their mouths wide in disbelief.
Two hundred taels of silver, the copper plates of the whole family in their Fangjia Village can't be combined.
Liu Xiancheng lowered his head and pondered.
Lin Qianqian continued: "Lord Liu, you should be able to calculate, the flow of water we are leading down is not very large, and it is very reluctant to use it to the three villages, I also calculated it just now, we have spent more than six hundred taels on the manpower and material resources of water diversion, and now our village has to charge two hundred taels per village, just to share the cost of our village, our village does not overcharge everyone's silver, of course, if Xiaoping Village, Xiaotai Village and other villages downstream of Fangjia Village also want water, we can't supply it now, But we can supply more waterwheels and ditches. To build a waterwheel, it already costs 100 taels of silver in terms of manpower and material resources, and we only collect 200 taels per village now, which is not much, right? ”
Everyone was silent, because everyone didn't know how to settle accounts, but probably... About.... That's about that.
As long as two hundred taels of silver are paid, there will not only be water in the village, but there will also be hope for the autumn harvest, which is a big thing.
The chief quietly pulled Lin Qian forward and said, "Girl, so much silver, other villages are definitely not willing to give it." ”
Lin Qianqian smiled and said: "It's their business whether they want to give it or not, but we must let them know the attitude of our village." ”
In this way, the villages that are willing to give money will naturally have a water source, and if the villages that are unwilling to give money have no water source, they will not be able to carry out moral kidnapping of Quxi Village.
The chief secretly pondered in his heart, and felt that this was really the case.
He couldn't help but admire Lin Qianqian a little.
He thought about it, Lin Qianqian was just a teenage girl, and he was an old man of half a hundred, so it was a bit inappropriate to admire her?
