Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 242
Qing Luo smiled and said, "Uncle Li Zheng, don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

Li Zheng hurriedly said: "Okay, I won't interrupt, you go ahead."

Now Liu Wenquan and Ji Yuehong also came to the main room, including Yushu was also attracted, the whole family stared at her, waiting to hear her novel attention.

Qingluo continued: "After collecting the money, you can't give it away, right? Then if someone asks you later, the river is not yours, and you collected the money and plan to keep it for yourself?"

"Huh?" Li Zheng really didn't think of this question.

He took the money, and he didn't have a proper name!If someone went to the county government to sue him for embezzling and accumulating money, he would have to walk around.

Qingluo smiled and said: "So you have to say that you collect the money for the big guys!"

"How to use it?" Li Zheng didn't understand.

"After receiving the money, you can hire someone to dig the canal, and connect the canal to the fields of each family. Isn't irrigation much more convenient?"

Li Zheng was stunned: "Dig a canal?"

He had never heard such a statement.

In the past, everyone who wanted water had to find their own way. Those who were close to the river directly diverted water to the fields, and those who were far away from the river had to carry water or use ox carts to pull water.

What does it mean to dig a canal?
Knowing that he didn't understand, Liu Qingluo explained patiently: "The river is the main stream. You have people guide the water out, and then dig different canals to lead to the fields of each household. Whoever pays the money, the canal will be dug. If you go to someone’s house and don’t pay the money, it will be gone.”

"That's okay?" It was the first time everyone heard such an idea, and they couldn't digest it for a while.

Li Zheng: "This... I'm a little confused, I have to go back and think about it..."

"Okay, you go back and think about it, but this time is waiting for no one!"

When Lizheng heard this, the butt that had just been raised sat down again: "I dug a canal, what if the water can't flow out automatically? This year's water level is lower than in previous years!"

Qingluo said to herself: "This is even simpler. As far as I know, there are such things as waterwheels outside, isn't it?"

Li Zheng nodded: "I heard that it was made by the court's industrial masters, but I haven't heard of any villages using it..."

In order to resist the drought, the officials of the court's Ministry of Industry worked hard to invent and manufacture the waterwheel, but it was unexpectedly left out.

For this unused and expensive thing, few people can accept it.

For this reason, it is said that the officials of the Ministry of Industry were severely reprimanded by Her Majesty the Queen.

It is said that they spent a lot of money to make things, but no one used them at all. Not to mention wasting money, they also wasted a lot of precious time in fighting drought.

Liu Qingluo had also vaguely heard about this, and she smiled and said, "We in Beiqiao Village can be the first person to eat crabs this year!"

Qingluo made a conclusion.

……

Waiting for Li Zheng to go back, he thought about Qing Luo's words carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was extremely feasible, so he couldn't sit still anymore, and went directly to Qing Luo's house, and brought his three strong sons , Said that they all obeyed her orders.

Qingluo laughed in surprise: "Uncle, I just came up with an idea for this matter, and it's mainly up to you to handle it. Besides, I'm going back to Beijing to take the exam, so I don't have that much time."

Lizheng waved his hand: "Uncle won't delay your big exam, isn't there still six or seven days left for the next exam? You just delay for two more days, then Uncle will let them drive you to Beijing overnight, do you think so? "

Because of this matter, Li Zheng's hair has turned gray a lot, which shows that he is really worried.

Mrs. Du also persuaded from the side: "Niuniu, you came up with this idea, you have to stay and help Mr. Lizheng, there is still time for the exam."

"Yeah!" Li Zheng nodded and said, "I don't need you to do anything, as long as Mi makes up his mind, the specific things are settled, you go to take your test, and leave the rest to Uncle!"

Regarding matters related to the whole village, Qing Luo finally nodded in agreement.

Excited, Li Zheng took out a pen and paper on the spot, and discussed specific matters with Qing Luo.

The first problem is collecting water bills.

This is something that has never happened in Beiqiao Village. Once it is announced, it will easily be opposed by the villagers collectively.

So Qingluo's suggestion is to not mention the matter of paying the money first, but to gather the big guys together and discuss the matter of water use.

So Lizheng really followed Qingluo's idea, and gathered the villagers who could talk and were quite respected in the village, and wanted to discuss this matter with them.

In the past two days, the whole village has been really troubled, so as soon as Lizheng greeted them, everyone came together.

Li Zheng folded his hands behind his back and said with a serious face: "Big guy, our Beiqiao Village has good geomantic omen and has never had a bad reputation. Now because of this irrigation, the bad reputation has spread all over the village!"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.

"Hehe..." Li Zheng looked at them and sneered, "You don't even think about it. If the reputation of Beiqiao Village is notorious, which village's daughters are willing to marry here in the future? Who in your family has no sons and grandchildren? I plan to let them marry in the future. stay single?!"

What he said was also taught by Liu Qingluo.

Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, they immediately attracted their attention, and someone said: "Then what can I do, the fields can't use water, otherwise what will I eat next year?"

Lizheng began to admire Qingluo in his heart, and his face was still calm: "Fart your mother! Who said that you have to grab food and beat people? Then is there any law?"

As soon as the king's law was brought out, everyone stopped talking.

"Today, this matter must be settled, otherwise none of you will be able to escape when the county master investigates it!"

Li Zheng began to threaten them in the name of the county lord.

Qingluo said that although the county master doesn't care about this matter, it doesn't mean they can't use the county master's prestige.

Everyone nodded in agreement: "It would be the best if Master Lizheng can solve this matter!"

Li Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "That river belongs to our Beiqiao Village, and everyone has the right to use it, so I came up with a way to dig a canal and lead the water to the fields, which is convenient and labor-saving, and there is no need to fight for it." Rob."

Everyone was also puzzled: "Why dig a canal?"

So Lizheng explained to them the specific plan Qingluo listed.

For this novel method, thinking of its future benefits, almost everyone is tempted.

Digging once can save years of effort!

"Then dig, what are you waiting for?!" Someone shouted anxiously.

Hooked.

Li Zheng smiled slightly: "It's okay to dig, but I have to discuss with you first, who will dig and whose field will be dug."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay: "Then, what does Master Li Zheng mean?"

It is no problem to send manpower, farmers, what they have is strength.But, after all, no one wants to help others dig aqueducts for nothing!
