Oops, Fubao was snatched away by the smelly brother next door again

Chapter 29
Patriarch Jiang's expression changed drastically, and he jumped ahead of Li Zheng and said, "Li Zheng, what do you mean?"

"Did I not make it clear enough?" Li Zheng looked at Patriarch Jiang with a strange expression, "Patriarch Jiang, this Jiang Xiucai's family is poor, I just kindly gave him 30 taels of silver to help his family tide over the difficulties.

As for Jiang Xiucai, just pretend that I have never been here, and that you didn't come up with this idea, don't you understand? "

As soon as this remark came out, Patriarch Jiang's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Li Zheng, this is different from what you just told me!"

"What is Patriarch Jiang so anxious about?" Li Zheng looked at Jiang Zixing, saw him looking at him with his purse, and said with a smile: "You can't make the decision for Jiang Xiucai, Jiang Xiucai, what do you think?"

"Don't worry, patriarch, calm down." Jiang Zixing first spoke to calm Patriarch Jiang's emotions, then looked at Li Zheng, playing with the heavy purse full of silver in his hand, his voice was as gentle as ever: "I'm afraid Li Zheng forgot one thing.

I am not a talented person, a mere scholar, and he is also qualified to ask to see the county magistrate.Moreover, you can only use my ability to invite credit once, but apart from the method of fetching water, I can barely read poetry and books.

Unless you can stop me so that I will never see the county magistrate, otherwise, your calculation will probably fail. "

Li Zheng's expression froze for a moment.

He then sneered and said: "Since Jiang Xiucai doesn't like the money I gave, I will take the money as a reward for others to stop you from seeing the county magistrate. Can someone not help me pay attention to you?"

"Even if you can stop the self-examination person, can you still stop all the members of our Jiang clan?" Patriarch Jiang's dislike for Li Zheng reached the extreme at this moment.

He stood in front of Jiang Zixing. Although his body was bent due to old age, he was extraordinarily imposing. "Although our Jiang clan is not a big clan, not everyone can bully our clan."

Li Zheng left in a huff, while patriarch Jiang asked the children of Lao Jiang's family to invite the rest of the elders of the clan, and informed everyone about it.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation. Although they were ordinary farmers, they all knew a truth.

No matter how you close the door, it's your own business, but outsiders must never bully your family, and they must never interfere in your own affairs.

"Self-examination, we will accompany you to the county to find the county magistrate, and specify that no one can take credit for your achievements."

"Then I'll thank you all." Jiang Zixing bowed his hands to everyone, and the group headed towards the county in a mighty manner.

Lizheng's house is near the only road from Jiangjia Village to the county, and he can see the situation on the road from his yard.

Li Zheng probably didn't expect that Jiangjia Village could gather so many people so quickly, and that he could take action today.

He was still thinking about how to take the credit for himself at home, when he saw a crowd of people walking towards him on the road from a distance.Rizheng subconsciously thought that something had happened, and stared at it with a frown.

It didn't take long for him to realize that something was wrong.

Why does the leader look more and more familiar?

When he saw clearly that the leaders were Patriarch Jiang and Jiang Zixing, he began to panic.

Anyway, he also took the money to go there. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to. Why gather so many people? ?

Before he could figure out why, he saw that group of people passing by the road not far from his house, and then went straight to the direction of the county seat.

Lizheng realized what they were going to do, wanted to stop them, but was afraid that there were so many of them, and he couldn't find so many people for a while.

Therefore, Jiang Zixing and others entered the county government office smoothly.

The county magistrate of Ziyang County has been the county magistrate in Ziyang for six years. He performed mediocrely in the last term, so he was retained for another term. He will stay here for at least four years.

He is worried about the severe drought recently.

The government's relief plan was delayed. Seeing that the number of disaster victims gathered outside the county office was increasing day by day, the rice in the field had not been harvested, and the wheat harvested in the future might not be able to support everyone for a year.

The places around Ziyang are also suffering from severe drought like Ziyang, and the state capital is also in a difficult situation, and there is no way to ask for help.

When the price of grain started to rise, many people sold their grain, and the county government opened a warehouse to release grain, and it lasted only half a month before there was no grain left.

Now people have died of starvation and thirst, and some have fled elsewhere.

If this goes on like this, he's afraid he won't even be able to keep his black hat, let alone his promotion.

So when the people below said that there was a scholar who asked to see him, he was not very willing to meet him at first.

The person who came to report said again: "Master, Jiang Xiucai said that he has a way to solve the master's difficulties."

The county magistrate's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the little official who came to report, "The Jiang Xiucai you mentioned came from a rich family. Does he have money or food?"

"Neither." The little official's lips were chapped, and he was already emaciated, with anticipation hidden in his eyes, "He said...he can get water in a way."

"What?" The teacup in the county magistrate's hand fell to the ground suddenly, and the bottom of the cup of water in it spilled on the ground, which made him very heartbroken.

What is most lacking now is water. He has not been able to wash up properly for several days, so he can only drink this small glass of water every day.

But at this moment, he didn't care about his distress, and walked quickly to the front of the hall, and saw a scholar-like man sitting there. When the man saw him, he got up and bowed his hands in salute.

"You are Jiang Xiucai?" The county magistrate looked Jiang Zixing up and down, "Don't be too polite, I heard that Jiang Xiucai has a way to get water? Is this true?"

"Of course it's true." Jiang Zixing was not polite, and his tone was unhurried. He explained the method of fetching water in the most concise terms, and finally said: "After verifying this method two days ago, I told Li Zheng. Lizheng has already reported to the master, and today I found out that I haven't reported it, so I came here."

The county magistrate knew the temperament of each Lizheng very well, and after asking who Lizheng Jiangjia Village belonged to, he knew it well.

He stopped discussing Lizheng's affairs, and he would free up his hands to deal with the matter after the water problem was resolved.

"Jiang Xiucai, please write down the method you mentioned carefully on the paper. The county will invite someone to try it. If it is true that you can get water as you said, the county will immediately report it to the magistrate and judge!" The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was not the one who proposed this method, Jiang Xiu is the person under his rule. It is naturally his merit that this matter can benefit all the people affected by the drought.

Moreover, it is still a great achievement.

The county magistrate, who is hopeful for promotion, is in a much better mood, and he doesn't even feel so distressed about the half glass of water that was spilled just now.

When Jiang Zixing wrote out the method of getting water, he repeatedly emphasized that there is not much water available, only enough to drink.

"A few sips are enough to save people's lives." The county magistrate held a rice paper full of characters, his face flushed, "Jiang Xiucai, tell me, what do you want?"
