Just as everyone was nervously looking up at the farmland on the mountain, a slightly echoed shout suddenly came: It's water, it's a lot of water.

After hearing this shout, the hundreds of people standing below seemed to suddenly stop breathing together.

The riverside, which had just been bustling, suddenly became extremely quiet.

Suddenly, a slightly trembling voice came: "Great, our crops have been saved."

After hearing this, the whole river suddenly resounded with deafening cheers.

People jumped up and down the river excitedly, and many cried with excitement.

Xiao Yi looked at Li Zhi with admiration on his face and said, "Your Highness is really a god, and he can actually come up with such a magical thing. ”

Guo Dunjie on the side bowed to Li Zhishen and said, "The lower officials thanked His Highness on behalf of the people of Yunzhou. ”

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Li Zhi to reply, he saw that the people around him suddenly began to fall to the ground one by one.

Without waiting for Li Zhi to react, he shouted in unison: "Thank you, His Royal Highness King Jin." ”

After saying this, everyone kowtowed to him in a proper manner.

Li Zhi hurriedly spoke: "This is a matter within the king's responsibility, and it deserves such a great gift from the villagers.

Nowadays, everything is still based on farming, so it's the right thing for everyone to get up and take care of the rest of the equipment. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, the people took action one after another.

Li Zhi hurriedly asked Guo Dunjie to send someone to Li Ji to continue to produce water hammer pumps.

And Li Zhi himself took Xiao Yi and others directly to the next state capital.

Li Zhi had already been here for three days, and there were still many state capitals waiting for him to inspect, so he didn't dare to delay at all.

Li Zhi's side successfully resolved the crisis in Yunzhou, while Li Tai's side ran into trouble in Jiaozhou.

After Li Tai and Ma Zhou came to Jiaozhou, they easily found a water source.

However, the water source is located right at the junction of the three surrounding counties.

However, the people living in these three counties are still three different ethnic groups.

Among them, the prefectures near Songzhou are mainly inhabited by Han people.

The main inhabitants on the side of Dangzhou are the Tibetans who return to the Tang Dynasty.

The mountainous areas near the Yizhou side are mainly inhabited by the Qiang people.

Originally, there were some water sources in these three counties, which were not abundant but sufficient to meet the needs of agriculture.

However, this year's drought has dried up all of these water sources.

Therefore, a river that was not taken seriously has become the object of contention.

However, this river does not have much water in the first place, and it does not irrigate much farmland at all.

But now when there is a shortage of water, this river, which is usually disliked by everyone, has become a treasure that the people in the three counties compete for each other.

When Li Tai and Ma Zhou came here, Jiaozhou Thorn Shi was leading people to mediate the contradictions of everyone.

Li Tai looked at the small river full of sewage, and then at the group of people who were beaten and bleeding.

What was a little bit of excitement turned out to be terrible.

He really couldn't figure it out, how could someone work hard for a small river ditch that couldn't irrigate two hundred acres of land?

He held back his anger and watched Jiaozhou Assassin Shi supervise the people of the three counties to divide the water in this small river ditch equally.

When those people left, Li Tai immediately asked Luo Heng, the assassin of Jiaozhou, "Why is a small ditch so troublesome?

Couldn't Luo Thorn Shi even decide the ownership of a ditch? ”

Luo Heng couldn't help frowning after listening to Li Tai's words.

However, he still replied honestly: "Your Highness, this is the junction of the three nearby counties.

Although the lower officials can use their official authority to forcibly distribute water to either party, they will definitely offend the other two parties.

If they secretly retaliate against the one who gets the water, won't they harm that other? ”

After listening to Luo Heng's explanation, Li Tai asked, "As a parent, Luo Tingshi can't suppress them?" ”

Luo Heng's brows furrowed again, and he just wanted to open his mouth to answer Li Tai's question when he heard a light cough from the side.

Then I heard Ma Zhou speak: "I'm afraid Your Highness has misunderstood the history of Luo Thorn, the matter of water sources has not been a trivial matter since ancient times.

There are countless fights caused by water problems. ”

Li Tai couldn't help frowning after listening to Ma Zhou's words.

He couldn't help muttering: "It's just a small ditch that irrigates more than 100 acres of fields, so why bother working hard for this?" ”

Ma Zhou and Luo Heng didn't answer after listening to Li Tai's words.

This kind of question of why not eat minced meat is fundamentally understandable by a prince like Li Tai who has no worries about food and clothing.

Why should the two of them waste words with him?

Li Tai muttered and didn't say anything more.

Now that the only source of water close to the farmland has been used up, the next step is to think about how to find water.

Li Tai's excitement at this time had passed, so after a day of shopping with the two, he immediately felt that he was not feeling happy.

After he returned to the station, he had people wait to give him a bath and massage.

Seeing him like this, Ma Zhou couldn't help but sigh secretly.

It was bad luck to follow such an uncle out on a business trip.

Looking at it like this, tomorrow, His Royal Highness the King of Yue will definitely be able to persevere.

When the time comes, I'm afraid that the problems here will have to be solved by myself.

The most annoying thing is that even if he solves all the things, the benefits of the big head will be given to the master in front of him.

Sure enough, Li Tai only lasted for most of the day the next day before he began to shout tired.

Seeing this, Ma Zhou hurriedly took the initiative to persuade Li Tai to return to the post station.

And he and Luo Heng turned around the entire Jiaozhou.

This time, Ma Zhou didn't think of a way quickly.

This is because there is no water source to use anywhere else, except for two snow-capped mountains in the far west.

And those two snow-capped mountains and Ma Zhou really can't think of a way to use them effectively.

Two days passed quickly, and Li Tai, who was originally waiting for Ma Zhou to solve the problem as soon as possible, finally began to be anxious.

On the third day, he actually followed Ma Zhou out for a whole day.

However, all this was in vain, and the two of them still couldn't think of a way after a day.

After the two returned to the post station, Li Tai sat directly on a chair.

I only heard him mutter: "This place is so close to Songzhou, why is there not even a mountain spring to use?" ”

Li Tai's complaint fell on Ma Zhou's ears like a thunderclap.

It occurred to him that he could go to the neighboring Jiaozhou to find a water source.

The terrain of Kennan is so complex that you may be able to find spring water in the surrounding mountains.

With this idea, Ma Zhou hurriedly managed everyone to have dinner, and then went to bed early.

He has to store up enough stamina for tomorrow's climb.
