The direction of things is indeed as Feng Yun thought.

Pei Zhen's proposal to dig a canal was immediately opposed by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Moreover, it is the unanimous obstruction of the old and new parties.

From the Empress Dowager Duan to the princes and ministers, no one agreed with this feat.

"The auxiliary capital has been decided, the palace has not yet been built, and then the artificial river is dug again, and the construction of civil engineering and labor are mobilized, and I am afraid that hundreds of millions of people will be separated from Germany."

"The treasury is empty, supplies are tight, and we can't put the cart before the horse, and we can't get the right thing wrong."

The surroundings were full of voices admonishing Pei Zhen.

But the people who keep saying that they don't want to build a lot of construction are very keen on building a palace.

There are even quite a few people who believe that this is an imminent matter.

"It is urgent to repair the palace to establish the prestige of the country and shake the country thieves."

"Think twice."

"Think twice!"

Flying to Xijing like snowflakes, and then to Pei Zhen's desk, he returned to Huaxi later and later, and Feng Yun often looked at him with deep frowns.

But God did not have mercy on this.

It was as if there were nine suns hanging in the sky.

It's late August, and it's still as hot as something......

Feng Yun soaked in the study alone for two days, and when he came out again, he summoned the villagers of Huaxi to discuss under the three old locust trees.

Feng Yun was going to take a look at Pei Zhen's proposal first.

Digging an artificial canal is not something that can be done by a few people.

That requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

She put it all together and decided to look at the people's wishes first.

Sure enough, Feng Yun fried the pot as soon as he mentioned it.

"Digging artificial canals to divert water? More than a hundred miles, isn't it a joke? ”

"No, it's unheard of......"

"If you can really bring water over, it's better than nothing, I agree......"

"It's not good, Lizheng Niang is not willing to do it. Everyone listens to the greetings and ......"

The people were gossiping.

Feng Yun sat under the locust tree and did not squeak.

In the sky, the sky is cloudless and the sun is shining.

Underground, the sound of cicadas chirps is like a muffled string, high or low, slow or urgent, mixed with the noisy arguments, making it even more hot in summer.

Yang Shi glanced at Feng Yun for a long time, and suddenly clapped his hands high-five.

"Okay, okay, everyone be quiet for a moment and listen to me."

Everyone shut up one after another, looking at Yang Shichang with a pair of eyes.

Yang Shichang stood on the stone platform under the big locust tree, raised his voice and said: "Everyone has seen that if the weather is dry and it doesn't rain, and the crops can't be planted, we have to be hungry, so we have to think of a way." This matter of digging a canal and digging a river is exactly the proposal of Lizheng Niangzi, let's talk about our views. ”

Everyone: "The lady mentioned it well." ”

Yang Shichang asked: "If the canal is opened, every family will have to come out, do you want to?" ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Some say that you can make a head.

Some say that the whole family is out on the move.

There are also those who are silent.

Of course, there are even more people like Lu Guiquan who like to sing the opposite.

That day, his family had a fight with Yu Baochuan's family because of carrying water, and then he didn't dare to come to Feng Yun, so he accepted Yang Shichang's private peace, and the matter was revealed.

But those who are accustomed to taking advantage of it refuse to suffer a loss wherever they go.

He didn't change his personality just because the other party was Princess Yonghuai.

Just like Yang Shichang said, the people of Huaxi Village are spoiled.

Lu Guiquan's voice was so loud that he could hear it from afar.

"Each family has to send labor, so how much food does the court give?"

Feng Yun glanced at him.

The family is usually competitive and competitive, especially after the locust plague, seeing nothing that is pleasing to the eye, and fighting people without saying a word.

Feng Yun frowned and said calmly:

"The court will play a big role in things that are beneficial to the people's livelihood, but the people should also work together to achieve their wishes as soon as possible. At present, there is no charter, and there may not be food for work, but the food will definitely be managed by the imperial court......"

Lu Guiquan laughed, "What the lady means is that the court is unwilling to pay." Let the common people work in vain, what is the difference between this and the first emperor building the Great Wall, enslaving the people! ”

The first emperor also built the Great Wall.

It's really a set in the mouth.

Feng Yun glanced at him, his fingers tapping on the chair.

"In your opinion, how much food is appropriate?"

Lu Guiquan said: "If you don't talk about it, you should follow Nagato." ”

Yang Shichang scolded sharply, "Lu Guiquan! Don't kick your nose in the face. Nagato is the private residence of the lady of Lizheng, and the construction of the canal and the digging of the river is for the sake of the people's livelihood, can it be the same? ”

"What's the difference?" Lu Guiquan said lazily: "Who doesn't know, this world is now the world of King Yonghuai, and building ditches and digging rivers is not for the benefit of Changmen?" In the end, the left hand and the right hand are the livelihood of their family anyway......"

"Lu Guiquan!"

Yang Shichang drank again, and his face turned white with fright.

Everyone around them was silent.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yun's eyebrows stretched and he smiled slightly.

"Let him speak."

Lu Guiquan was a little weak-hearted, he didn't dare to look at Feng Yun's eyes, and muttered in a low voice:

"Make a fortification, take out the money from the treasury, and finally let the people work, full of the private pocket of the lady of Lizheng, as if no one understands......"

He spoke eloquently and inclammatory.

The people looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

But there will inevitably be people who are cranky.

Since ancient times, there have been many such things, and the people have seen a lot of them.

If there is no benefit, who wants to come to Zhang Luo such a big work?

Lizheng Niangzi is a good person, this is a well-known thing in Huaxi Village......

But good people have been doing it for a long time, and the beneficials will slowly get used to it, and gradually feel that Nagato is so rich, and the lady Lizheng wants what she wants, but they are digging in the soil, and the world is different......

Isn't that the result of slavery?

After all, she is good to the people in the village, not for herself?

There was silence under the big locust tree.

Feng Yun's expression was calm, and he didn't feel half emotional because of Lu Guiquan's questioning.

"Well said, reasonable suspicion."

She nodded, rubbed her palm against the back of the chair, didn't know what to think, and smiled faintly.

"That is the end of today's business. Everyone, hurry up and harvest in the autumn. If you want to harvest the next crop, you don't know when you will have to wait. ”

She dropped the sentence and walked away.

Three days later, Nagato dispatched a large number of troops and began digging ditches.

Instead of digging up the land of the rest of the village, they cut ditches along the edge of Nagato's fields and stretched all the way to the small boundary hills......

The villagers who have good things to do come forward to ask.

"Why did the lady dig these ditches?"

Bu Qu replied: "The lady said that this year is dry, there is no underwater land, and the crops are not growing well, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to draft in the future." ”

The fight in the village for water that day is well known.

But Feng Yun's fortification, this is the first time they have seen it.

The lady said that this is called a well canal, which can lead the water of the underground dark river to the ground and use it for drinking and irrigation. This is called an open channel, and there is a culvert in the hills and mountains of the small world......"

The crowd was confused.

Buqu also explained, "From Xiaojieqiu to Nagatozhuang, we dug many wells, and strung these wells together with ditches, called wells. The lady said, in this way, we will not be short of water in Nagato......"

The crowd was skeptical.

Digging wells to get water is something that everyone understands, but digging a string of wells and connecting them with ditches sounds simple, but it is not easy to do.

"Are you all enough? Do you want a craftsman? ”

Nagato often hired people in the village, and the food he paid was very high.

Seeing that the farming is busy, and it is difficult to plant the crops in the next season without water, there are a lot of people in the village who are idle, and they all want to go to Nagato to earn a few.

Buqu smiled: "I didn't hear the lady say, our manpower should be enough, they are all strong men with five big and three thick, and some have strength." ”

Only then did the people in the village remember that not long ago, there was a bandit from Xiufeng Mountain, who was absorbed by Changmen and became a servant of Feng Shiniang's family.

Slowly, people began to calculate this account, and suddenly realized that there were thousands of people inside and outside the long gate of the lady.

That's a big deal......

Thousands of men can already fight a small battle.

There are not a few people who pull up the banner to integrate the team, claim the king and hegemon, and proclaim themselves generals......

A female streamer, in just over a year, has actually attracted so many people?

In the past, the songs were all in the mountains, which did not attract much attention, but since the digging of wells and canals, many people have come and gone in the village, and the rumors have gradually increased......

Feng Yun didn't care.

She concentrated all of Nagato's strength to dig wells and canals.

Lack of water is the same as lack of food, it is a life-saving thing, and the people in the village can still go to Changhewan to fetch water, once Changhewan bottoms out?

Without drinking water, how can so many people survive?

She didn't want to go any further.

Nagato has grown from dozens of people at the beginning to more than 1,000 people today, and it is impossible for her to take them to be bandits, let alone move her family and leave Andu.

Then she had to think of another way.

The method of digging wells and canals, as always, is from the book.

The all-encompassing books left by my mother provided her with enough wisdom to cope with all aspects of life......

The matter of digging ditches and sinking wells in Huaxi Village is in full swing, and the news is also spreading.

Not only did He Qia take the subordinate officials of the Assassin Mansion to the village to come and see it, but also Si Nong Gongcao from the neighboring Wanning County, Yupu County, Xinyi County and other places came to understand the situation......

"Digging a well from the mountain, all the way from high to low, it makes sense, but is there so much water available?"

"The princess said that there is an underground river in Xiaojieqiu, which was discovered when digging a graphite well."

"It's a good way, it's really a double win. First, the water of the dark river will not flow into the mine, leading the mine on the mountain to accumulate water and collapse. Second, it can divert water for irrigation to relieve the suffering of drought, wonderful, wonderful......"

Most people don't agree with Feng Yun.

Until they saw the water flowing from the well, they were always suspicious.

But there is no shortage of talented people, and when they are slightly combined, they are surprised and admired.

"This is a clever move, and our county should follow suit."

"Emulate what? When King Yonghuai brings the water of the Huai River, is there still a lack of water from this well and canal? Why bother to mobilize the people. ”

In comparison, the well canal from Xiaojieqiu to Huaxi Village is only a small fortification. It is necessary to wait for the artificial river to be built, and mobilize the strength of the whole country, at least three years and five years, more than 18 years, or even longer...... If there is a drought for many years, can you afford to wait, or can the people afford to wait? ”

The county Gongcao argued.

When the news reached Feng Yun's ears, she specially inquired.

There are many praises for the wells and canals, and those who think that the counties should follow suit are from Wanning County.

She asked people to find out the design drawings of the well and canal and give them to Ah Lou.

"Give it to Wanningjun. As long as they find enough water sources, dig dark wells, and open ditches, they can temporarily solve the dilemma. ”

Ah Lou should get down, take the drawings, and suddenly look up.

"There is an envoy from Nanqi, and I also want to ask about the wells and canals, do you want to see the lady?"

Erjin has twisted his waist in the past two days, and it is uncomfortable to sit, ahh......hhh

I wanted to exercise my body, but who knew it would backfire!!

Feng Yun: Come on, Dr. Yao will help you take a look.

Erjin: Skiff! Dislike.

Pei Zhen: Come, throw her down, dare to smack my wife.

Chun Yuyan: Come, mother-in-law, here, the old man next door is invited, let's see, do you want to change the script......
