Chapter Eighty-Four: Gambling

Zero One They came back three days later, together with everyone in Xiaowang Village.

Everyone was carrying a lot of potatoes behind them.

"Master, the potatoes on these nearby mountains have been harvested, about 1,500 catties, not counting them for Xiaowang Village."

Mo Xuan nodded, "It's hard work, let's rest for a while, it's time for us to go." ”

Zero One listened to the order.

The old man came over at this time and asked, "Childe, do you want to use these potatoes to grow in Lixian?" ”

The disaster in Lixian County is not small.

"Yes."

Mo Xuan didn't hide it, and said directly.

"But how to solve the problem of land shortage? How to solve the problem of water sources. ”

As an old farmer, he immediately got to the point.

Mo Xuan laughed confidently, "Hehe, I have a way." ”

The old man obviously didn't believe it, and the land problem had not been solved for many generations, and finally he had to move away, leaving behind only a group of people who missed the old and were unwilling to leave their homeland.

A young offspring actually said that he could solve it, heh, I don't know whether to say arrogance or arrogance.

Seeing the dislike in the old man's eyes, Mo Xuan pulled the old man and pointed to a barren mountain in front of him.

Show the old man the planning of the terraces that Mo Xuan and Yun Sheng said that day.

“…… This is the only way to solve the problem of land scarcity and water storage. ”

The old man's eyes lit up, it was indeed a good way, "I admit that your method is indeed the most suitable for the local area, but there is still a big problem, how to lead the water uphill?" Do you still have divine powers? Can't let the water flow backwards? ”

Mo Xuan suddenly laughed, "Uncle, how can there be any immortals in the world?" If there are immortals, how can they be willing to suffer in the world? It has long been solved personally. ”

The old man nodded, knowing in his heart that he was delusional.

"Then tell me how to solve it?"

"There will always be a solution, we can set up a water storage station before the flood comes, store all this water, and solve part of the water problem."

"Of course, this needs to be adapted to local conditions, and we need to conduct field visits to see if there is a suitable place to build a water storage station."

"There's also a problem of leading water uphill, and I really can't help it for the time being."

Hearing Mo Xuan's admission, the old man was a little disappointed.

"But there's always more ways than difficulties, aren't they? Even the problem of lack of water storage in land can be solved, can't we think of other ways? ”

Yes, there are always more ways than difficulties, and if someone talks about it, the old man doesn't believe it at all.

But this is the natural sand table, and all the problems are revealed, is there really no way to solve it?

No, there must be, there are so many wise people in the world, there will always be people who think of it, maybe, the Mo Gongzi in front of him is one.

The old man felt respect in his heart, and looked at Mo Xuan seriously.

"However, the change of land needs to be approved by the imperial court, or if you buy it, do you have silver taels?"

The only thing he can think of in his heart is to buy, how much can a person buy with limited financial resources?

The old man's heart was stunned.

Mo Xuan smiled proudly, "I don't have to buy it, these lands can be used by me, can the old man be trusted?" ”

The old man looked at him with strange eyes, just thinking that he was a good person and a stable offspring, and he began to brag again.

The old man sighed, shook his head with a smile, the older he gets, the more he goes back, how can he believe the words of the person in front of him?

"Don't you believe it?"

Mo Xuan's attitude towards the old man was completely expected.

"Will you make a bet with me?"

"Bet on what?"

The old man was also interested and asked.

"If I can use this land, can you Xiaowang Village go back with me?"

The old man thought for a while, those previous plans had to use a lot of manpower, he couldn't help laughing, this person was waiting for him here!

Looking at the surrounding mountains and thinking that he could personally turn these into fertile land, a wave of pride surged out, and he was instantly full of pride.

"Okay, the old man made a bet with you."

"Then you say, what if you lose?"

"If I lose, I am willing to give a thousand taels of silver for the resettlement of Xiaowang Village."

One...... One thousand taels?

The old man's heart was beating wildly, he had never seen so much money in his life.

Seeing that Mo Xuan's expression didn't seem to be fake, the old man had a thigh and gambled.

"Okay, then bet, I'll see what you can draw."

Yunshang watched the two bet, covered her mouth and laughed secretly, the husband is too bad, isn't this directly pulling Zhuang Ding? Or willingly.

Mo Xuan sent someone to the car to get a few things out, and the package was bulging, and he couldn't see it.

Mo Xuan opened the package, the old man looked at it curiously, and when he saw what was inside, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"You...... Who are you? ”

Yunshang smiled and said, "My husband is the county magistrate of this Lixian County." ”

The corners of Mo Xuan's mouth rose, "Yes, although the official position is small, I still have the right to use the land in Lixian County!" ”

The brand-new county official uniforms, official boots, and official seals cannot be believed by the old man.

His eyes widened, and his chest heaved.

"You...... Are you really a prefectural magistrate? ”

His voice trembled slightly, and his excited lips trembled slightly.

Seeing Mo Xuan nodding, the old man stood up violently and was about to kneel, but Mo Xuan quickly held it up, "Uncle, I can't help it." ”

The old man had tears in his eyes, and he wanted to kneel several times.

"Uncle, don't embarrass me, I don't want to reveal my identity for the time being."

Mo Xuan smiled bitterly and said that this time it was too big, he just wanted to play a prank.

The old man held Mo Xuan's hand with trembling hands, and for a moment the old man burst into tears, "Lixian is saved, saved." ”

How do older people want to leave their hometowns? Now that I have the opportunity to rebuild my home and still have enough to eat, I am naturally very excited about the need for no one to die.

He took a deep breath, and his body, which had been a little rickety, became straight.

Mo Xuan suddenly felt that the person in front of him was different, with more spirit and hope.

"My lord, on behalf of Xiaowang Village, I welcome your arrival, let's go back, go home, and help you build a water storage station together."

He thought about it, even if it didn't work out, they would admit it.

This is the one who does the big things.

Mo Xuan didn't know that the old man's respect for him had reached a new height, but these people were willing to believe that he would follow him back, and they were half the battle.

This person, with hope, there is motivation, although he is still an old man on the face, but his mentality is different, and he is full of fighting spirit.

The old man returned to the team, and he didn't know what he said, but the people of Xiaowang Village looked at Mo Xuan Yunsheng with more awe.

The number of people has increased, and many of them are walking, so naturally they are not so fast.

Mo Xuan talked a lot with the old man along the way, and discussed and came up with an improvement plan for every mountain, every river, and every inch of land.

Until Mo Xuan's idea became more and more mature, he could propose a feasible plan for every terrain.

The two felt that the trip was worthwhile, and even hated to see each other late.

Mo Xuan admires the old man who was born as a peasant at any time but has a high level of knowledge, and the old man likes Mo Xuan's down-to-earth and humble appearance.
