Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 160 Profiteering
Chapter 160

"What brother said is very true, but there is one thing that a certain family doesn't understand, please tell me!"

The successors of the next generation of the Gongshu family are almost forty years old, and his ability is second only to his father, so it is not a loss for Li Yu to call him elder brother.

"What's your confusion, Mr. Lang, you can tell me in detail, so I can answer them one by one."

Gongshu Chaozhong spoke politely, never saying a word or being humble, and his attitude towards Li Yu was quite kind.

Li Yu thought for a while, but still couldn't hold back the questions in his heart.

"Brother Cai said just now that building a river dam to intercept the flowing water and leaving a gap to make the water drain more powerful is indeed feasible in principle.

However, I have doubts. Since ancient times, it has been said that water and fire are ruthless. This intercepts the river, leaving only a gap. It is okay to say when there is a drought.
When the water level drops, there are enough water outlets, but if there is enough rainwater and the water level rises, when the water level rises, the water potential is too large to flow, so how to deal with it? "

"Don't worry, my lord. I'll investigate this matter. We can leave a gap of the same size on the opposite bank, and then repair the dam to a height equal to the water level.

When the water level is high, it will naturally flow down the river dam, and when the water level is low, it will flow out from the gaps on both banks.
At the next point, the river channel will be widened and deepened to ease the impact of the incoming water and make it meet smoothly, so that the waterway will be smooth and there will be no harm, and the people on both sides of the strait will benefit..."

Li Yu didn't listen to what Gongshu Chaozhong said later, he only heard that the matter had been settled and he didn't need to worry about it, so he started thinking again.

There are waterwheels on both sides of the river, and the people on the banks on both sides can benefit. First of all, this is already a matter of collecting blessings and doing good, which is very feasible. After all, doing good things is better than doing bad things.

But if you can get some money and fame while doing good deeds, that would be the best.

Li Yu heard that every time there were two waterwheels installed, he suddenly realized that the land on both sides of the river belonged to someone else.

If they are all rented or bought by him, and they are all cultivated by themselves, wouldn't that be equivalent to forming a large farm?
Everything else can be released, but this matter must be implemented immediately, otherwise, it will be difficult to solve it after the waterwheel is completed next year.

"Patriarch, brothers, I suddenly remembered that I still have important matters to deal with, so I won't bother you today. The patriarch decided on the river course.
But we have to take care of the [-] miles upstream and downstream, and add more water tankers to benefit the common people. "

"promise!"

Gongshu Ban was still checking the terrain of the river, and didn't say anything when he heard the words, he just waved his hands, which means let's go.

Everyone in Gongshu's family was left behind, looking at Li Yu who was leaving in a hurry, some people felt surprised that he was going to leave without explaining this matter clearly.
Some people think it's funny, after all, I'm still a child, and I'm not steady when I come and go.

"Lang Jun, aren't you staying on the river today, discussing important matters with the patriarch Gongshu? Why do you have to go back again, and there is no important business in the mansion!"

Rong Niang was very puzzled, she waited by his side all day, whether she was busy or not, that was very clear.

Originally, he had planned to follow Patriarch Gongshu all day today to inspect the river, but he suddenly had to go back.

"My lord thought of a very important thing again. Let me ask you, which piece of land on both sides of the river belongs to our mansion?

If it’s not ours, which one is it?do you know "

"How can I know this, slave girl. I don't know why the gentleman asked such a question?"

"Who in our mansion knows about this? And who is in charge of the land and property?"

"If you go back to your husband, the wife of the Wang family will know about the property,
But the specific affairs are in charge of Liang Daguan, who is in charge of the input and output of the field, and the gentleman asked him.

Manager Liang is the most clear about the various land properties in the mansion, and he doesn't know about them even if he asks others. "

"Then go back quickly, call that steward Liang, and ask him clearly. My lord will make great efforts to purchase land."

"Lang Jun is wise, every generation of our patriarchs will buy land, and one of the patriarchs has bought land three times in his life!"

"Yeah, let's go back and talk about it."

When the group returned to the main hall of the county mansion, Li Yu arranged for his servants to find Guanshi Liang, and hurried to the backyard by himself.

Situ Yunsha is playing chess in Wang Kexin's room. The two of them hold black and white pieces.

"The two ladies are very elegant."

The two girls were concentrating on fighting, and the four Xiazhu, Qiuju, Ningcui, and Taohong were also cheering for their own ladies, until Li Yu walked in, and then came back to his senses.

After seeing the ceremony, everyone sat down one after another.

"Isn't Mr. Lang going to inspect the river today? Why do you have time to come to sister Wang's yard?"

Seeing Li Yu coming in, Situ couldn't help but look puzzled.

"My lord has already met the patriarch Gongshu, and explained the matter of the river embankment clearly.

The rest was left to the public loser. After running for an hour just now, they found three places suitable for placing waterwheels.
It would not take a day or two to inspect the river. It would be too boring to stay on the river for a whole day, so I wanted to come back and see the two ladies. "

"By the way, my lord has something else to say to the two ladies."

Wang Kexin replied unhurriedly; "Your Majesty, if you have something important to do, just tell me."

Li Yu briefly went through the matter in his heart before speaking;
"When I was discussing the arrangement of the waterwheel with the patriarch Gongshu on the river, that Gongshu said faithfully,
It is necessary to lower each embankment and add a waterwheel on both sides of the river, so I thought of something, so I came back to discuss with the two ladies. "

Situ Yunsha smiled and said, "I don't know anything about the river course, so I can't talk about it.
Mr. Lang should discuss with Gongshu's family, why go back and forth to the backyard to ask advice?Isn't Yin and Yang reversed and the order out of order? "

"Mistress, don't worry, what my lord wants can only be achieved with the efforts of the two ladies."

Wang Kexin thinks the same as Situ, the two of them know nothing about river management, why does Mr. Lang say that it can only be done with the help of the two of them!

"I don't know what the lord thinks, but I want my sisters to contribute? The lord will explain it in detail, and the sisters of the slave family can also refer to it."

"My lord heard from the public loser that he wanted to install waterwheels on both sides of the river to drain the water, so he immediately thought,
On the other side, if it is also the land and property of our mansion, how wonderful it would be,

In the future, waterwheels will be installed, so we no longer need to rely on the sky for food. When rainwater is needed, the water in the river can be drawn out to irrigate the farmland.
It is so convenient, why not arrange the land on both sides of the river, either rent or buy,

When all our lands are connected, a large piece of land will be formed.

Unlike the common people in village households, a piece of land on the east side is divided into three parts, and a piece of land on the moving side is tossed back and forth for a few and a half acres.

Connected in this way, regardless of farming or harvesting, it can be greatly accelerated, why not do it? "

Although Wang Kexin doesn't understand the specific affairs, she has a good grasp of all kinds of major affairs in the mansion, and can immediately hear the pros and cons of them.

"What Lang Jun said is not bad at all, and the patriarchs of the past generations have also done the same thing, and also bought thousands of acres of land,

But where is the specific field, and how should the Lord carry out this idea, but the slave family has no idea.
How about asking Guanshi Liang to come over to the mansion and discuss it in detail?The matter of the property has always been handled by Manager Liang, if you have any ideas, you can just discuss with him. "
