Li Shimin

Chapter 807

Because, they know the peeing nature of their own villagers.

What the nobleman in front of them said was very likely to happen.

Moreover, they have all heard before that there is an ordinary fight between two villages in the east, which has turned into a never-ending vendetta.

Even if the Ming Fu of the county government came to persuade him personally, it was useless.

After more than half of the young men in the two villages were killed or injured, the elders in the two villages woke up.

However, the big mistake has already been made, and there is no way to make up for it, nor can it be resolved!
In the end, it was a few respected elders in the two villages who committed suicide at the entrance of the village with shame on their faces, and then suppressed the hatred between the two villages.

"Everyone, is it worth it to hurt the vitality of the two villages just for such a river?"

Li Xuan asked.

"But this nobleman, I, Qinghe Village, always need water!"

"Exactly, this nobleman, my family of one hundred in Dashi Village also needs to drink water!"

The village chiefs of the two villages looked at Li Xuan helplessly.

"It's been down all winter, why do you have to intercept the river water in spring?"

Li Xuan sneered, and from the eyes of these villagers, he could already see that this kind of villagers were paying attention.

"Besides, spring plowing is coming soon, and when it rains in spring, there will naturally be more water in the river."

"At that time, whether you use it to drink water, water the fields, or fish in the river, it's up to you.

As for this river, it seems to flow down from the upper reaches, and it was not dug by your ancestors, and your ancestors lived when they saw the river.

All villages inhabiting this river can use this river instead of being directly occupied by a certain village like a bully! "

Hearing this, the village chiefs of the two villages couldn't help laughing in embarrassment.

"Yes, thank you for your advice!"

"Don't fight for a river if you have nothing to do. If you have time, you go to the mountains to dig some medicinal materials, or hunt some wild animals, and then reclaim an acre of wasteland. The money you earn is not as much as fighting for a river?"

"Yes, yes, the nobleman taught you very well!"

All the villagers nodded again and again.

"Okay, let's take the villagers of each village and go home to treat the wounds!"

After poking around, he prepared to leave with Li Chengqian and others.

"My nobleman, it's noon, why don't you go to the village and have a rest, drink a bowl of hot water, and it's not too late to go!"

The village head of Qinghe Village hurriedly tried to invite him.

"I have more than 200 people, are you not afraid that I will have to eat in your village?"

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

"My lord was joking, this...?"

Originally, they wanted to compete, but the two villages, Dashi Village and Qinghe Village, who invited Li Xuan, were immediately surprised.

Looking at the more than 200 men behind Li Xuan, he opened his mouth and smiled awkwardly again.

How much can so many strong men eat in one meal?

If you go to their village, can't you eat up their village?

"Okay, I just heard that there is a group of poor people who have nothing to do, and the two villages have an appointment to fight, so I brought the guards over to see.

Now that you guys stop fighting, I should go.

However, I would like to advise everyone, now that the border troubles of the Tang Dynasty have been eliminated, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and there are fertile fields in your family. On such a good day, cultivate more fields and make more money, then marry an aunt and give birth to more children That's the business.

Don't beat and kill every day because of some trivial things, if you break your leg, it's good to be blind?

Although you are poor and illiterate, you should not be stupid.

Such a grown-up man, he must not be in a loss-making business every day!
Now, there are a lot of jobs that can make money in Datang, maybe in a few days, the imperial court will bring the people all over the world to make money together! "

Li Xuan said something with a light smile, and then began to call Xue Rengui, Cheng Chusi and others to leave.

Behind him, the village chiefs of Qinghe Village and Dashi Village were stunned, and then shouted with hope in their eyes: "Dare to ask the nobleman, is what you said true? Can the imperial court take care of me and other poor people?" them?"

"What are you doing lying to me when you have nothing to do?"

Li Xuan sneered, "Although you are poor, you are full of strength. If the imperial court builds more concrete roads, or builds tens of thousands of concrete houses, will you still have no work to do?"

"Thank you for letting me know!"

All the villagers in Qinghe Village and Dashi Village couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Before, when the concrete road a few miles away from their village was being built, the young and strong of their entire village went to carry sand and gravel to level the road, and everyone earned three or four pennies.

"Third Uncle, the villagers in those two villages shouldn't be fighting just because of drinking water, right?"

After walking a certain distance, Li Chengqian turned his head and took a look. The villagers of the two villages who had already started to disperse asked Li Xuan.

"Then what do you think is the real reason for their fight?"

Li Xuan didn't stop, but asked directly.

"Third Uncle, I didn't even think about it! I don't know what it is, it's worth the young and strong people of their two villages gathering together, and killing them like this!"

Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed.

"Who of you know?"

Li Xuan didn't look back, but continued to ask.

"Master, I don't even know!"

Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others shook their heads in unison.

"Ren Gui should know!" Li Xuan said.

Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi looked at Xue Rengui quickly.

"Master, the villagers of Qinghe Village and Dashi Village should be fighting over the irrigation of the fields in the coming year!" Xue Rengui said.

"Watering the fields?"

Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi couldn't help but look suspicious.

"Ren Gui, there is still more than half a month before spring plowing. Moreover, even if it is watering the fields, it must be in summer, and there are three or four months. Now, it is too early to start planting, isn't it?"

"Da Lang, Chu Si, you have never been in the village, so you don't understand the importance of a river to a village's fields."

Xue Rengui sighed slightly, and explained: "The villagers in those villages rely on the grain in those fields for a year's rations. Every year, droughts often occur, so these villagers pay great attention to storing rainwater.

As for the river next to the village, these villagers guarded the river tightly and did not allow anyone to move it.

If there is a drought in the coming year, the people in their entire village will depend on that river if they want to survive.

Dashi Village built a dam upstream to store water.

But Qinghe Village downstream has been keeping a close eye on the river for a long time, so Dashi Village upstream is naturally not allowed to tamper with the river! "

"As for why we are fighting now, it is because everyone is wearing thick clothes and all the villagers are very leisurely. It just so happens that fighting will not delay the farming season.

Even if a few of them are disabled, they can rest for a period of time, and when it's time for spring plowing, everyone can still plow..."
