Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 70: Chapter 72

Although the speed of water pumping by wind-powered waterwheels is fast, there are too many fields in Shanghe Village. It took two days and one night of continuous pumping to irrigate half of the farmland. If you want to irrigate all the farmland, you have to wait at least a day or two. Fortunately, the crops in the field are still holding up for the time being, and they have waited for such a long time, not less than a day or two.

However, the plan could not keep up with the change. On this day, Li Hao was enjoying the coolness in the small bamboo forest in the courtyard. Du Hong suddenly rushed over to report that villagers from Xiahe Village rushed into Shanghe Village to dismantle the wind-powered waterwheel.

Li Hao was shocked when he heard the words, and before he had time to ask in detail, he hurriedly called his bodyguard Lu Yun, prepared his horse and went to the wind-powered waterwheel. When he arrived, he saw hundreds of people fighting in groups on the south bank of the embankment. The scene was extremely chaotic. They were obviously from Xiahe Village. He has already started working with the villagers of Shanghe Village.

Riding on the horse, Li Hao yelled loudly: "Stop all the special codes!"

His shout was really useful, the two sides stopped as expected, three or four hundred pairs of eyes were all staring at him, it was the first time that Li Hao had so many people's attention, it made him feel embarrassed, he got off his horse , cleared his throat, and said loudly: "I am Li Hao, a man from Lantian County personally appointed by His Majesty, where are the two villages, come out and speak!"

As soon as they heard that it was a man from Lantian County, the people in Xiahe Village didn't dare to make any noise. They saw a gray-haired old man slowly walking out of the crowd, cupping his hands and saying, "The villain Xiahe Village is in Youtian. I'm paying my respects to Lord Li."

The villager in Shanghe Village is just a 40-year-old rough man. He has dealt with Li Hao many times when he was building a wind turbine. He is an acquaintance. The man Wu Daniu pays homage to the Sir."

Li Hao looked at the two of them, and asked with a straight face, "What's the reason for the conflict?"

Wu Daniu immediately glared at the old man angrily, and said angrily: "Back to Sir, this old killer..."

Li Hao hurriedly raised his hand to stop him: "Let's talk, no cursing." He came to mediate, and scolding is the most taboo during mediation, because it will intensify the conflict again.

"Yes." Wu Daniu nodded and said, "Yu Youtian is unreasonable and wants to bring people to destroy our wind-powered waterwheel, my lord, you spent a lot of effort building this wind-powered waterwheel, how could we let them destroy it?" .”

Hearing this, Li Hao frowned and looked at Yu Arita, and asked, "Old man Yu, why did you destroy my wind turbine? This doesn't seem to be your territory in Xiahe Village."

Yu Youtian was a little flustered when he heard the words. He only knew that Shanghe Village built a wind-powered waterwheel, but he didn't know that the waterwheel was built by Li Hao. If he wanted to dismantle the waterwheel, he would offend Li Hao. Just kidding, Yu Youtian's momentum suddenly weakened, and he hurriedly said: "Returning to the Lord, it was Liu Banxian who worshiped the heavens and got the will of the heavens, saying that the waterwheel went against the sky and violated the destiny of the heavens. We ask for rain."

"What the hell?" Li Hao's two eyebrows seemed to be dancing, and his expression was very exciting, "Where is Liu Banxian? Let him get out! I have something to ask him."

There was a sudden commotion among the crowd in Xiahe Village, and then a middle-aged man in a gray Taoist robe was pushed out.

This middle-aged man has his head in a bun, long eyebrows and long eyes, and a three-inch swallow beard fluttering on his chest. He holds a bell in his right hand and a flag in his left. peach wood sword.

At first glance, this shape really looks like an expert, but no matter how you look at it, the flag looks like a deceptive magic stick, bad reviews.

Liu Banxian was a little flustered when he was pushed out of the crowd, but he is an old man after all. He has seen this kind of scene a lot, and he immediately regained his composure. Hao raised his palms and saluted: "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, you are being polite."

"What's your reason? What's your reason? You still have a reason to dismantle my windmill?" Li Hao scolded him as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, Li Hao was too angry, and it took four thousand five hundred to build it, no, four thousand Five hundred strings is not the point, it is related to the harvest of the villagers of the entire Shanghe Village. To put it seriously, the waterwheel is now the lifeblood of Shanghe Village, and a death stick came to dismantle the waterwheel with a few nonsense words to kill .

"My lord, don't worry, just listen to what the poor have to say." Liu Banxian looked at Li Hao confidently.

Li Hao sneered, spread his hands and said, "Say it, say it."

Liu Banxian said slowly: "The poor Taoist cultivating Taoism for more than [-] years, by coincidence, I got a chance to communicate with the gods of the Nine Heavens..."

Li Hao didn't expect him to brag in such a serious manner, so he couldn't help it anymore, rolled up his sleeves and pointed at him, staring and shouting: "Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!"

Liu Banxian also noticed that Li Hao was not in a good temper, so he omitted the pretentious part directly, and said the main topic: "There is no rain in Guanzhong for the whole summer, and the drought is gradually showing. Praying for rain for them, this morning, Pindao set up an altar to practice, but was told by the gods, saying that Shanghe Village built a wind-powered waterwheel, which went against the sky, against the harmony of heaven, and the gods refused to give rain."

"Hehe...hehe..." Li Hao sneered again and again. Apart from sneering, he had no other way to express his anger and disdain. Ancient people believed in gods, but he didn't believe them. Ghosts have nothing to do with it, it's all about physics.

Li Hao sneered for a long time, and said sarcastically: "It's just a waterwheel, how can it go against the sky, how can it go against the harmony of heaven?"

Liu Banxian said without changing his face: "In ancient times, the four forces of water, fire, wind and thunder were controlled by gods, and later gods bestowed the power of water, fire and common people on the people, but the power of wind and thunder belongs to the gods alone and cannot be used by humans. Offended the gods."

Li Hao was stunned when he heard the words. He always thought that he was the most nonsense in the entire Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect this guy to be more nonsense than himself. This is definitely an old magician who can't be more senior. One word-professional!

Li Haoming knew that he was talking nonsense, but he couldn't find anything to expose him. There was no way, the ancients were ignorant, so he couldn't tell them: there is no god in this world!The estimated result is definitely the opposite effect.

When Li Hao and Liu Banxian confronted each other, there were three big figures present, none other than Wang Chaosheng, Li Shimin, and General Tian Meng of the Zuo Jinwu Guard. Since there were many people present, no one noticed them.

Li Shimin just visited the wind-powered waterwheel there, and he was full of admiration for the wind-powered waterwheel. He even felt that this thing should be worth [-] guan. At the same time, he was even more eager to meet Li Hao. He even secretly thought, Hao is the lucky star bestowed by God on himself and on Datang.

At that time, villagers from both sides clashed not far away, and then Li Hao arrived. Li Shimin asked Jin Wuwei to retreat for a while, and took Wang Chaosheng and Tian Meng over to watch the fun.

When Liu Banxian said those words, Li Shimin and Wang Chaosheng both frowned. They suddenly felt that what Liu Banxian said made sense. Nonsense, but there is no way to refute you. Liu Banxian succeeded, and the country owes him a trophy for the nonsense champion. Li Shimin is now looking forward to Li Hao's performance. He wants to see how Li Hao will respond to Liu Banxian's supernatural nonsense.

Li Hao pondered for a while, and already had an idea in his mind, he asked coldly: "Liu Banxian, if you dismantle this windmill, can you really ask for rainwater?"

Liu Banxian nodded and said, "Of course."

"Okay!" Li Hao clapped his hands and said, "Then let's make a bet. I've dismantled the windmill now. If you ask for rain, I'll give you a thousand guan. If you don't ask for rain, hehe, then cut it off." Your three-inch tongue! Do you dare to bet!"

A trace of panic flashed across Liu Banxian's face when he heard the words. Can he not panic? He has been cheating for more than ten years. This is the first time he has encountered such a ruthless person. He wants to cut his tongue. Calmly, he nodded with a smile on his face: "Why don't you dare to be poor, but the time to ask for rain today has passed. If you want to ask for rain, you have to wait until tomorrow."

Li Hao nodded: "Then I'll wait until tomorrow to dismantle the windmill."

"No." Liu Banxian shook his head and said, "My lord must dismantle the windmill today, so that the gods will know about it earlier, so that I can get rainwater smoothly tomorrow."

Li Hao laughed twice, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will order someone to dismantle the windmill now."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and called Du Hong, and whispered in his ear: "You ask Lu Zhi to call all the craftsmen to remove the windmill leaves completely."

Du Hong took the order to leave, and Lu Yun beside him said: "Li Hao, do you really want to do this, this is..."

Li Hao raised his hand to stop his words, and said slowly: "This stinking stick is very tricky and difficult to deal with, but it would be great if he can really ask for rainwater, if he can't, hehe...I let him regret it Come to this world!"

Lu Yun frowned and said: "Even if you kill him, it's useless. Now is not the time to be angry with him. Irrigation of the farmland is the most important thing."

"I know this better than you." Li Hao said lightly, "So I asked the craftsman to completely dismantle the windmill leaves, and then put them back together after the incident. It only takes one day, and there won't be a long delay."

"So that's how it is." Lu Yun praised sincerely, "I didn't expect you to act impeccably at such a young age."

But Li Hao said: "Don't praise me, this stinking stick is a liar, I think he will run away tonight, please keep an eye on him, don't let him run away, I will cut him off tomorrow tongue to the dog."

Lu Yun raised his eyebrows lightly: "Don't worry, if he runs away, you will cut my tongue."

Li Hao rolled his eyes at him: "If you pretend to be aggressive, you will be struck by lightning."

Lu Yun was stunned, obviously not quite used to Li Hao's speaking style.

At the same time, Li Shimin quietly said to Wang Chaosheng: "This Li Hao is indeed too young and inexperienced, he was deceived by this Taoist priest."

Wang Chaosheng nodded: "Yes, it seems that this Taoist priest will escape tonight."

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Hmph! I'm afraid it won't be so easy to escape!" After speaking, he gave Tian a sharp look. Obviously, this magic stick made Li Shimin very angry.

Tian Meng immediately understood and resigned. It seems that besides Lu Yun, there will be hundreds of Jinwu guards watching this Taoist priest tonight. If he survives this catastrophe, this incident will be enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.
