The old village chief's eyes lit up, yes, they were not the only ones who lacked water.

"I'll talk about it"

The youngest son of the village chief was still stunned, and what did his father say he was going to say?

It's good that he wasn't stupid enough to ask directly, otherwise his father would have disliked it.

The old village chief took this group of people and began to measure on the way back.

"If several villages are added together, suppose a person digs a few zhang in an hour.

Then, if the nearby villages are all in one piece, there are three or four hundred laborers, and it may only take one to two days."

After measuring the distance, the old village chief took his three sons back, and when he came to the house, he took a pen and paper and wrote out his plans, and then took them and went to find the town's Lizheng.

If you go from village to village, the possibility is really not very high, but if Li Zheng approves of himself, it will be implemented quickly.

"Grandpa, the water source is at the bottom of the valley, dig a ditch directly from the bottom of the valley to bypass the west and go all the way down, this side is not the sun shining directly on the land, and it is not so hard to do much better."

"Good grandpa will tell the village chief"

Su Muyao was playing crazy at home, and she didn't worry about adult affairs at all.

After the old village chief finished talking to Li Zheng, he saw that Li Zheng nodded frequently, and once he had a general direction, he began to think about the affairs of other villages.

After all, Li Zheng is not only in Taoliu Village and a few nearby villages, he also has to take care of other villages.

Su Muyao grabbed a big rooster out of the space, and the reason was very simple, this big rooster didn't know when it slipped out of the fence in the space.

trampled down a piece of the small vegetable seedlings in the vegetable field, and as soon as he put the big rooster on the ground, he listened to the "clucking" and running crazy in the yard.

The fluttering wings of the big rooster rushed towards the old man Su who had just entered the door, and the old man Su just thought that the matter was almost settled, and went home to rest, and just opened the door, suddenly something pounced on him and startled.

After seeing that it was a chicken, he quickly pounced, "This chicken is really fat."

Don't look at Old Man Su's age, he is still very good at grabbing chickens, but he grabbed the wings of the big rooster.

"Good baby, grandpa, I'll kill a chicken for you today, haha."

A group of radish heads who were playing outside in the back happened to come back, and they were very happy to see their grandfather holding a particularly big chicken in his hand.

What Su Muyao was thinking about was such a big chicken, was it stewed soup or braised in soup?

Old man Su also knew that this chicken must have been obtained by his little girl somewhere, or by his immortal master.

After eating at noon, the old village chief began to gather people in the open space at the entrance of the village.

The sun was very fierce in the afternoon, and Su Muyao was hugged by her own father under the big locust tree to cool off.

The village chief led Li Zheng to the front after breaking through the crowd, and soon entered today's theme.

"This morning, Xiao Fuxing found a water source on the mountain, and we went over to see that the water source was sufficient, so we planned to lead that water source down the mountain."

The people in the village were all excited, but they waited for the old village chief to continue.

"Little Fuxing has saved us all more than once, so I hope everyone has a little bit in their hearts that they can't be that white-eyed wolf."

The people below whispered, "This old village chief is wordy, can we not know about this?" How many times have I said it before and after? ”

"Fen Niang, what the old village chief said in a quiet voice is also right, this little lucky star has saved us again and again, and people don't want us anything, so try to take some good things in the future."

"Yes, people think about us for everything, if it weren't for Xiao Fuxing discovering this water source, we might all have to escape the famine, the road to escape is very difficult, basically half of the village's escape can survive is considered good."

Fen Niang hurriedly interrupted the two sisters on the side: "Of course I know, don't you think the old village chief is wordy?" That's what I said last time."

"Okay, okay, keep listening."

I saw that Li Zheng stepped forward and said: "I also went up to take a look at this water source, there is a water source on the mountain, once it is dug up, a lot of water comes out of the mountain spring water, you can drink it directly and it is a little sweet." ”

"But if you just go home like this, you won't be able to pick much, especially the crops grown by our farmers."

As soon as these words came out, the people below talked about it.

"Even if you don't die of thirst, won't these dealers be saved? Won't we just starve to death? ”

"Don't say that discouragement, as long as there is water, there are so many wild fruits and wild vegetables on Huotou Mountain, and you can always fill your stomach. It's just that the food is almost there, as long as it can rain, we still have a living head. ”

"But what if it doesn't rain all the time? ”

Li Zheng had a smile on his face, and motioned to the people who were still discussing below, "Everyone be quiet first, listen to me continue, we must not be able to have water to drink, and we must let those crops have water to drink."

"Lizheng is so far away from us on this mountain, it is impossible to pick it up and water it."

Listening to Li Zheng's voice suddenly raised, "There is a lot of water on the mountain, it is not a problem to irrigate the wheat, as long as we introduce this water into the wheat field, we can have a bumper harvest this year."

The villagers below are still wondering how to divert water.

"The village chief and I have calculated that from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, it is probably more than 2,000 zhang, and it may take six or seven days for the labor force in our village to dig together.

But we are not the only village in the vicinity that has no water, and as long as we are united, I can guarantee that we can dig a ditch from the mountain within two days. ”

Now the older generation is talking about "digging a ditch down from the mountain, this is also ridiculous." ”

"Yes, I remember that when we used to open up the wasteland, the whole family went into battle together, and it took several days to dig an acre of land, which was even more difficult to dig down from the mountain."

The old village chief and Li Zheng also understood that everyone couldn't react for a while, especially those who couldn't even settle accounts.

They only felt that it was so far from the mountain to the village that even if there were many people, it was impossible to dig a deep and large ditch in a short time.

There were also those in the crowd who reacted, so they suddenly slapped their thighs, "No, the big guy can be calculated, although this distance is so far, but everyone may only need to dig a little distance."

Those who had counted it began to talk to those in the crowd who had not yet reacted.

Li Zheng said to the old village chief: "You have solved a big problem for me, and now more than a dozen nearby villages should not be worried about water."

"Old village chief, don't worry, when you get to the county order, I will also talk about your merits."

In fact, the current county order is also distressed, if this can't think of a solution, maybe if these peasant families under their jurisdiction go to escape the famine collectively, it will be difficult for them to explain to the people above at that time.

Even if you don't blame it, you won't be able to be promoted, but if you have made any significant contributions within your own jurisdiction? At the end of that period, you may be transferred to a higher position.
