After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 261

With a plan in mind, Lizheng felt relaxed.

She stood on a high rock, looked at the winding mountain road, and said, "Princess, which way do you think is better to dig the ditch?"

Usually when encountering this kind of thing, Lizheng always consulted with Yang Pei, but when Gu Qing came back, she always wanted to hear Gu Qing's opinion.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Qing said: "The water source is at the bottom of the valley, dig a ditch directly from the bottom of the valley to the east, and then go all the way down. The sun is not directly shining here, and the soil is not so hard..."

Li Zheng nodded frequently, and Gu Qing roughly determined the route of the ditch, and made some marks along the way.

After work, it was noon.

A group of people prepare to go down the mountain.

Suddenly something rushed towards Gu Qingsheng, Gu Qing was startled, and quickly hid to the side.

"What a big pheasant!" Xia Zhu's eyes lit up. Before everyone could react, he took the lead and grabbed the pheasant's wings. "Princess, let's eat beggars for lunch!"

This foodie is almost laughing silly.

The pheasant is a male, the feathers are particularly beautiful, and the long tail is colorful, it is also good to keep and watch.

Such a fat pheasant weighs at least four catties. Anyway, a male can't lay eggs, so he just wrings off his head and cooks it in soup or roasts it at home... Thinking about it, Jinhuaniang's saliva flowed out , looked at Gu Qing enviously.

The princess is different. Every time he comes to the mountain, there will be pheasants jumping on him. This luck is no one.

"Cluck! Clack!"

The pheasant was caught by Xia Zhu's wings and kept screaming.

The two families went down the mountain, and the beautiful pheasant in Xia Zhu's hand attracted the attention of the villagers.

"There are a lot of good things on the mountain!" Li was suppressing his excitement, "Please inform each other, the whole village will have a meeting in fifteen minutes, and I have some good news to tell everyone!"

The whole village was boiling.

"Another well has dried up today, which should be good news about water."

"Did Lizheng agree to Zhangjiacun's conditions, and the people of Zhangjiacun promised to let us carry water?"

"The people in Zhangjia Village are the most difficult to deal with. I'm afraid they took a lot of money from our village."

"Damn Zhangjiacun, the money we earned after months of hard work, they took it away so easily, it's really embarrassing!"

"Don't worry about money, water is better than anything..."

Villagers slowly gathered in the clearing beside the acacia tree.

All the old and young in Gujia Village came, more than 2000 people, standing in the open space.

The afternoon sun is more intense.

The woman stood in the shade of the acacia tree with her child in her arms, and the others were in the open space, enclosing the inside.

Li Zheng broke through the crowd and walked to a big rock. As soon as she raised her hand, the scene fell silent. The weather was really too hot. Everyone hoped to finish talking quickly so that the water problem could be solved earlier.

"This morning, the Princess and Officer Yang Tian took me up the mountain and found a source of water on the mountain."

Li Zheng didn't intend to be secretive, he cut straight to the point, and directly expressed everyone's wishes.

Everyone in the village got excited, but suppressed their excitement, waiting for Li Zheng to continue talking.

"The princess and Yang Tianguan's husband and wife have done their best for our Gujia Village. Yang Tianguan has been going up the mountain to find water sources more than ten days ago. It can be seen that Yang Tianguan really regards everyone in Gujia Village as family."

Li Zheng looked at the people below, "Drinking water does not forget the well digger, this time it is thanks to Officer Yang Tian, ​​​​you must remember it in your heart!"

Li Zheng's attitude was very strong, and the people present also felt that what Li Zheng said was very reasonable, and they all nodded their thanks.

"Officer Yang Tian, ​​thank you this time."

"Yang Tianguan, you will be the second person I admire from now on."

"Officer Yang Tian, ​​it is a blessing for our village to have you and the princess in our village."

Regardless of whether everyone is sincere or false, at least the superficial skills are in place.

Yang Pei smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything, so you don't have to be so polite."

He's actually not that selfless.

But he wanted to drive alongside her.

Moreover, it is even more impossible for him to rely on him alone. The water from the mountain must be brought down by the efforts of the whole village.

"There is a water source on the mountain. Once dug up, a lot of water will come out. It is mountain spring water. You can drink it directly. It is very sweet."

There was a smile on Li Zheng's face, "Our village has water to drink, so we don't need to use money to buy water in Zhangjia Village, Dongjia Village. Gujia Village has God's blessing, and the protection of Yang Tianguan County Master, our Gujia Village will not suffer. of!"

"There is really water!"

"Great, we finally don't have to worry!"

"..."

The villagers danced with excitement.

"It's not enough for people to have water to drink. We need to make rice also have water to drink."

Li Zheng suddenly raised his voice, and the crowd who were excited just now were all stunned.

Let the rice have water to drink?

Why is this so difficult to understand?
"Officer Yang Tian, ​​come up and tell everyone!"

Ri is making room.

Yang Pei is dressed in the posture of Zhilan Yushu. Although he is not wearing an official uniform, when he stands on the stage, an aura of calmness and self-prestige is immediately highlighted.

He walked up to the stage and felt a little nervous when he saw Gu Qing in the audience. This was the first time he spoke in front of so many people in front of Gu Qing.

"There is a lot of water on the mountain, so it's not a problem to irrigate the rice. As long as we can get the water into the rice fields, not only will we have a bumper harvest this year, but we can also plant the second crop of rice smoothly!"

As soon as Yang Pei opened his mouth, he calmed down slowly and said methodically, "I have calculated that it is about [-] feet from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. Four or five hundred laborers in the whole village dig ditches together. In two and a half days, they can dig a trench from the mountain. down the ditch..."

"Yang Tianguan, are you kidding me!"

"It's ridiculous to dig a ditch down from the mountain."

"Everyone in the village is going to dig ditches. Who will do the work in the shop and in the field?"

Everyone in the village didn't believe it.

They had opened up wasteland and dug land before, and it would take many days for the whole family to dig an acre of land. It would be even more difficult to dig a ditch from the mountain.

Yang Tianguan lightly said that it would only take two and a half days, which is probably a lie.

There was a voice of questioning below, noisy.

Yang Pei started doing business with Gu Qing, and then went to do business on his own, and went to various villages to teach farming skills. He had never seen such a scene.

He coughed lightly, even though there were noisy voices all around, when Yang Pei just finished coughing, the place suddenly became quiet.

Seeing that no one spoke anymore, he opened his mouth and said:

"Gu Er, take a shovel and dig a ditch right here in front of everyone."

Yang Pei's voice was calm, "Everyone can calculate how long it will take Gu Er to dig a ditch."

Gu Er was only in his early twenties, young and good at martial arts, full of strength, when he shoveled down, there was a big hole in the ground immediately.

He put his head down and continued to dig. In less than a quarter of an hour, he dug a ditch a foot long.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Is it so easy to dig a ditch?
