I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 187 After all, there are still many good people!
The east side of Nanping Town suffered from drought?
Guo Yi couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, and then quickly realized that with Ye Huaiwu's personality, he would definitely not be helpless.

"Which villages have you been to?"

"Yeah!" Ye Huaiwu frowned sadly and said, "It was already too late when I passed by. The villagers fled in all directions, those with relatives went to relatives, and those with friends went to friends...

And the rest of the helpless, either sell their houses and land, or go to the town to beg along the streets...

well…!What a miserable word!
I really can't bear it, and I just need to recruit day laborers to dig river channels.I will use the power in my hand to act cheaply.

Don't dare to say anything else, after all, you can survive!

Here, you see, the old men go down to the river to dig sand, the women wash and cook, and they can also take care of the children along the way. "

"You are a good person!" Guo Yi did not flatter, but from the heart.

"Tch...hahahaha!" "Good man! Good man!" Ye Huaiwu laughed desolately, losing his composure.

Then, he patted Guo Yi on the shoulder and said earnestly: "It's hard to be a good person!"

Guo Yi has a different opinion: "In this world, there are scholars, farmers, businessmen, farmers, forestry, herdsmen and fishers, there are three religions and nine streams, and there are brothel opera actors; In my generation, there are also big treacherous and evil people, but no matter what, there are still many good people after all!"

"Yes!" Ye Huaiwu nodded approvingly and agreed: "Erlang is right, after all, there are many good people! Like you, like me!"

Guo Yi couldn't help but wryly smiled. I even came up with an idea to let the bandits rob those grain merchants. Is this still a good person?

It's all the damn world's fault for ruining my chance to be a good person!
He hesitated but did not respond, but Ye Huaiwu suddenly remembered something, looked at him with raised eyebrows, and asked with a half-smile at the corner of his mouth, "Erlang wants to build a salt farm in the sand dunes? The workers are also recruited from that nearby village?"

The village near the dunes?
Isn't it the villages that suffered from drought?

It's a roundabout way of saying this...

Guo Yi smiled brightly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "As you said, I am also a good person!" He didn't answer clearly, but he admitted it.

"Hahaha...!" Ye Huaiwu couldn't help laughing: "Yes, yes! Good man! Good man! Let's go, eat first!"

As expected of Guo Erlang, he has already thought of what he can think of.This is considered a confidant, right?
The food is very simple, exactly the same as that in the salt field, chestnut rice pancakes, chestnut rice porridge, and wild vegetable dumplings.

No oil or water.

"Always eat like this, can't do it! There is no oil and water, even if you are full, you will not be hungry!"

Ye Huaiwu was laughed at by him: "Then what do you want? It would be nice if the chestnut rice pancakes can keep you full! What more oily water? Where did the oily water come from?
eat meat?How much meat do these more than 3000 people have to buy? "

Guo Yi naturally understood what he said, but he still refused to admit defeat and said, "Let me think about it!"

Oil and water are not necessarily all in the meat.

There are also peanuts and soybeans!
"Okay! Think slowly, don't worry!" Seeing his appearance, Ye Huaiwu nodded amusedly.

When I was young, after eating and drinking enough, all the staff started working.

A large group of old and young men, all shouting unknown names, began to advance westward, digging sand in the ditch section by section.

The more than 3000 people were divided into hundreds of sections, first excavated separately, and finally connected together.

It was only then that Guo Yi discovered that they were all using new-style pointed shovels.Because the shovel head is very sharp, it is easy to push into the sand with your feet. Finally, with both arms, a full shovel of sand is thrown up.

The whole scene was in full swing.

Ye Huaiwu stood beside him and couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Erlang, how are you doing?"

"It's really hard work!" Guo Yi said, looking up at the gradually rising sun, and then added: "However, there is really no easy way for such simple physical labor. strength!"

"Yes! You can only do your best. But if you want to drink water, you must dig a well; if you want to irrigate the fields, you must dig a river! There is no other choice.

Could it be that the river water can fall from the sky when you lie comfortably on your kang?
Ho!How can there be such a good thing?
Once this ditch is open to water, more than a dozen villages along the banks of the river will benefit from it! "

If you want to get something, you must pay the corresponding price.

Since ancient times, heaven rewards hard work!

Guo Yi nodded knowingly, and then asked again: "In your opinion, how long will it take to dig to the bank of the Bashui River?"

Ye Huaiwu had already calculated the distance. Hearing his question, he responded without thinking: "Soon, in ten and a half months, we will be able to dig to the bank of the Bashui River!"

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "Why, the salt field is in a hurry to use water?"

"Don't worry! There's nothing over there yet! The brick kiln hasn't been built yet, let alone a house! A large group of people are still making do in the straw shed..."

Haha!

Seeing him complaining, Ye Huaiwu couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled: "That's why you are in a hurry to go back to Jiangling City! You can't bear to part with those beautiful little ladies, and you go crazy thinking about it after two days?"

Facing this kind of ridicule, Guo Yi was very helpless: "Mr. Shengshen is also quite old, can you stop talking about the beautiful young lady? The boy has to go back to the salt field, there are a lot of messes!
The central location has to be selected first, and then the construction drawings are determined, the house is built, and the drainage canal is dug.

Just thinking about it makes my brain hurt! "

"It's a lot of work for those who can! Erlang is such a great talent, so it's a life of hard work. Don't worry, you are still young, take your time!" Murong Huaiwu is very rare, he did not hate him, but comforted him with kind words.

While talking, the two walked west along the river.

There are more than 3000 people scattered in the middle of this river, a long and sparse team.

Above the head is the scorching sun like a raging fire, and the river below is also full of heat.

Before the sun was high, all the old and young men took off their shirts early and were shirtless.

After drinking water and resting for a quarter of an hour, I dug forward sweating.

suddenly,

Ye Huaiwu stood still, looking ahead without moving.

A subordinate official came to meet him, followed by a middle-aged man in Ge clothes, a shirtless young man, and an old servant in sackcloth.

"Pei Xianggong?"

Ye Huaiwu murmured uncertainly.

"What did you say?" His voice was too low for Guo Yi to hear clearly.

Ye Huaiwu frowned and looked at him, and asked with strange eyes: "You are a son of a family of officials who grew up in Beijing, have you ever met Mr. Pei?"

Uh... Guo Yi couldn't help being startled when he heard the words: "Pei Xianggong? Pei Xidao?"

As soon as he finished asking, he suddenly turned his head to look at the four people walking towards him.Searching hard in the depths of memory, it turned out to be a mess.

Uh... I don't know!

His predecessor, a son of a family of officials who grew up in Beijing, had never met Mr. Pei!
