After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

"Sui Ran, you take the money first..."

Gu Meng spoke with some difficulty.

"Thank you, Sister Meng!" Sui Ran smiled slightly, "Sister Meng, I'll go back first."

Gu Meng didn't dare to look her in the eyes: "Then I'll give you a ride."

Sui Ran walked in front, she walked behind, there was always a distance between the two, she didn't want to ruin their respective reputations before the relationship was established.

After Gu Qing delivered the things, she took Zhou Yi and Xia Zhu back, passing by the rice field, she carefully found that there was very little water in the rice field, and it was almost dry.

How can we grow second crop rice in this situation.

Hasn't it rained in Gujia Village this year?

With doubts, Gu Qing walked into Li Zheng's house. All the children in Li Zheng's house had gone to school, and only Li Zheng's wife was sewing. Seeing Gu Qing coming, she was a little surprised: "Why is the princess here?"

Gu Qing smiled and said: "I came to talk to Li Zheng about something, is Aunt Li Zheng there?"

"It's inside." Lizheng's wife scratched her hair with a needle, "Your Aunt Lizheng stayed up all night yesterday, and will go to the ground to see the sky later..."

Looking at the sky is to predict the weather.

Just walked all the way, there is not a cloud in the sky, and there will be [-]% no rain tomorrow.

Gu Qing walked in through the threshold, and was sitting at the table, holding a book in his hand, it was a book about astronomical phenomena.

This is the first time she has been in this era for so long, and she was actually moved when she saw this kind of book.

But this feeling didn't last long.

Li Zheng frowned, and shouted: "According to the records in the book, isn't there no rain, how can we grow second crop rice without rain?"

Just as Gu Qing was about to continue speaking, someone rushed in at the door: "Lizheng! It's bad! Something's wrong! There's a well in the village that's out of water!"

There are three wells in Gujia Village.

These three wells have never been cut off for decades, but now suddenly one of the wells is out of water, and everyone starts to panic.

In recent months, people in the village have been too busy, busy opening shops and doing business, and busy going to work in the workshop.

The ears of rice in the rice fields are growing well, and no one has noticed that it has not rained in Gujia Village for several months.

There was a lot of discussion outside the house. If there is no water, the production of rice earing in the field will be greatly reduced. Without water, the business of Gujia Village will not be able to maintain.

Li was listening to the discussion outside the house, and heaved a long sigh: "What can the princess do?"

Her lotus pond is connected to the river, and she always felt that something was wrong when picking the lotus root tips last night, but now she thinks it must be because the water level is wrong.

According to the normal water level, the water in the lotus pond should not be so shallow, so shallow that it is only at Yang Pei's calf.

And Yang Pei, as a Xin Ma Tian official, didn't notice that it hadn't rained in Gu's village for several months.

Without further ado, we must find a way to solve the problem of water use.

"Princess!" Yang Pei rushed forward with Gu Er.

"I found water on the mountain." Yang Pei told the story carefully, "The water in the valley between the two mountains has never been tapped, so it must be very rich. If the water from the mountain is brought down and introduced into the rice fields, this year there will be more water. Don’t worry about running out of food into the warehouse.”

Li Zheng stood up abruptly: "Is this really true? Don't talk nonsense, I will believe it..."

The ancestors of the Gu family have lived here for hundreds of years, and they have never found water on the mountain. It is normal for Lizheng not to believe it.

"Aunt Lizheng, I never make such jokes." Yang Pei said with a serious face, "However, I also have an unfeeling request."

Li Zheng straightened his body. If Yang Pei didn't ask for anything, he would still be a little flustered. He was afraid that all of this would be false. It gave him hope and let him down. He couldn't bear the pain.

Since Yang Pei still has a request, it means that the fact that there is water on the mountain is true in all likelihood.

"My field is not enough..."

As soon as Yang Pei finished speaking, Li Zheng understood what he meant, and immediately said: "Don't worry, as long as what you said about the water source is true, I will give you all the extra land in the village, but the fertile land The price is also expensive, the market price is two taels of silver per mu..."

Most of the most fertile land in the village is in Gu Qing's hands, and the rest belong to Li Zheng's family. How can Yang Pei rob other people's things.

He said: "I want the wasteland at the foot of the mountain. When the water from the mountain flows down, it happens to pass through this land. The wasteland will definitely become a good field in the future. Many old farmers in the village should know this truth, and I'm afraid it will be soon. Come to Li Zheng to buy land, can I ask Li Zheng to buy this land for me first?"

This request is not a request at all. People in the village do business, and those who go to work in the workshop go to the workshop. Although everyone is rich, there are not many people who buy land.

Maybe everyone feels in their hearts that being a farmer is not as good as doing business and working.

Li Zheng immediately agreed: "Okay! As long as there is water, I'll sell you the land right away!"

Gu Qing didn't expect that Yang Pei had planned a long time ago and found the water source first.

"Thanks to you this time!"

Yang Pei smiled and said, "If I don't know anything, how can I work hand in hand with the princess?"

After Gu Qing and the others left, Lizheng's eldest daughter came in: "Mother, why did I hear you talking about water just now, when did there be water on the mountain?"

Li Zheng repeated Yang Pei's words.

"Really?!" Jin Huaniang was full of disbelief, "As expected of the sixth-rank Xin Matian official, he is really capable. I used to think that he took advantage of Gu Niangzi!"

"What are you talking about?" Lizheng scolded angrily, "How can we not be directed by Yang Tianguan for our field affairs? If you talk about it, be careful, I will beat you!"

Li Zheng's wife agreed: "I see that the princess's husbands and sons-in-law are all smart and capable. Look at Yu An, how well he manages the shops in the town and the village. Now even the shops in Fucheng He cares, besides Zhu Han, the business has gone to the capital..."

Gu Qing and the others crossed the field ridge and walked to the road. At this moment, the farmers in the village who tended the fields gathered under the acacia tree.

"There's no water in the well, what did Lizheng say?"

"What can Lizheng say, but she can't come out of a well."

"A well was shut down today. If another well is shut down tomorrow, what shall we do?"

"The nearest one is Dongjia Village. It takes an hour to go back and forth. I don't know if the people in Dongjia Village are willing to lend us water."

"A little further away is Zhangjia Village. There are five wells in Zhangjia Village. You can go there and have a look..."

"Pull it down, those bastards in Zhangjiacun, can you give us water? I don't believe it."

People in the village give advice to each other.

Although there is a place to fetch water, it is too far after all. It takes almost two hours to go back and forth, and there are only two buckets of water, which is not enough for daily use.

The first thing Gu Qing did when he got home was to go to the kitchen. Fortunately, the bucket in the kitchen was full of water, and it should have been picked today.
