The best farmhouse

Chapter 266 Dams
Even if Zhao Canniang didn't say anything, the consequences could be imagined.

If the river bed dries up by itself, it's fine, but no one wants to bear it artificially!

The middle-aged man really didn't think about it.

They only think about the immediate benefits, as long as they can make money in the immediate future, they don't think about what Zhao Canniang said, if the people from the downstream really come to find them, they will really be unable to eat and walk around.

Seeing that the middle-aged man did not speak, Zhao Canniang said: "Who among you hit my Uncle Dafu, stand up and go in immediately to apologize to Uncle Dafu. You have also paid for the medical expenses this time, and my Uncle Dafu As for the river water, I will give you a way, that is, go back and dig the river for me immediately, if I don’t see the river water in the dam in front of us tomorrow morning, then don’t blame us for being rude.”

This is how Zhao Canniang does things.

Sometimes it seems a little unreasonable to outsiders.

The middle-aged man's throat felt a little itchy.

When looking at Zhao Canniang, her eyes were completely dodged.

Zhao Canniang turned around.

"Grandpa Patriarch, I'll leave the affairs of Grandpa Lizheng to you guys, and I'll go back first if I still have things to do."

She can't come out for a long time, and Mrs. Chen will be worried if she comes out for a long time.

After entering the house and talking to Zhao Dafu, Zhao Canniang left the village.

Back home, Mrs. Chen was already standing at the gate of the mansion with some worry.

Seeing Zhao Canniang's carriage stop, Mrs. Chen stepped forward anxiously: "Canniang, you are finally back, but you have worried me to the core."

Mrs. Chen knew about Zhao Canniang's arrival in Zhaojiatang as soon as Zhao Canniang left.

I was very worried. I originally wanted to go to Zhaojiatang, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it, so I waited at the gate.

Seeing Mrs. Chen's worried appearance, Zhao Canniang felt a little guilty, but she still said: "Mother, don't worry, I know what to do, there is no need to wait outside, let's go in!"

Zhao Canniang walked into the yard holding Mrs. Chen's hand.

When Chen Zhongqiu came home in the evening, Zhao Canniang told Chen Zhongqiu what happened in Zhaojiatang today.

Chen Zhongqiu felt that things were not that simple: "Chan Niang, I think there is something wrong with this matter. You think that the people in the upper reaches simply want to intercept the river. What is their purpose? Worried about the lack of water in the river? They are in the upper reaches What are you worried about? I think they are here for your Zhaojiatang."

It was only when Chen Zhongqiu reminded Zhao Canniang that this might be very possible: "Hey, I was so crazy, why didn't I think of this at the time, the other party obviously wanted to extort money from us, because we use the most water."

The well water needed to wash the taro is not enough. People in the village take the taro to the river to wash several thousand catties at a time.

Zhao Canniang frowned and said, "Why didn't I think of this when I was in the village. I thought they were just worried about the lack of water. I also said that I would go upstream to intercept the river."

Chen Zhongqiu stretched out his hand to touch the hair beside Zhao Canniang's ear, and said with a smile: "This matter will not be over so easily, tomorrow we will bring some servants there, and I will go there with you."

Chen Zhongqiu wanted Zhao Canniang to decide on the matter of Zhaojiatang.

Zhao Canniang nodded: "Then it's fine if you go with me, so you don't have to worry about me."

Early the next day, people from Zhaojiatang sent someone to say that people from Lijiazhuang didn't dig the dam, and they also sent many people to guard the dam to prevent them from destroying it.

Such behavior further proved Chen Zhongqiu's conjecture.

While putting on her clothes, Zhao Canniang asked, "Zhong Qiu, how can you guess so accurately?"

Chen Zhongqiu chuckled, looked at the yard outside, and said: "Those people's thoughts are actually easy to understand. Let's take a few more servants there today."

Chen Zhongqiu actually hated these people.

He went directly to Zhaojiatang in a carriage.

The people in the village are already waiting at the entrance of the village.

Li Zheng is telling everyone this, which means that everyone should calm down and solve today's affairs, and don't be impulsive.

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he walked up to Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu: "I have already explained to everyone what happened today, and everyone knows what to do. When the time comes, you pay attention to your own safety, maybe there will be a fight."

Zhao Canniang nodded: "We all know, try not to let our people do it first, and you send more people to the downstream to invite people from the nearby Guogu village, and then everyone will make trouble together."

Of course Zhao Canniang would not be that stupid, as she said yesterday, there are more than a dozen villages in the lower reaches of this river, and there will be more people who are willing to come out and make trouble.

Every woman and man in the village has farm tools in their hands.

It's not that far from Zhaojiazhuang to Lijiazhuang, and it only takes about a quarter of an hour to walk there.

The place where the other party built the dam was in the middle of Lijiazhuang village, which is why the people of Zhaojiatang didn't find out that there was no water until everyone else had built the dam.

Because it is located in the middle of other villages, if the people in Lijiazhuang don't talk about it, the people in Zhaojiazhuang don't want to know.

In a hurry, everyone took the ridge road beside the river. Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu walked together. Chen Zhongqiu was afraid that Zhao Canniang would fall, so he would remind her later.

Because of the high economic value of taro, the people in Zhaojiatang also dried up the fields to plant taro, and their annual income is much higher than that of growing grain. Therefore, in this season, in the fields seen, there are plants growing very well. Ma taro seedlings.

The inside of the river has completely dried up, and occasionally a large pit dug by hand can be seen in the middle of the river, and only a little water can be seen inside.

The villager walking in front said: "Recently, the sun is hot, and the river has been dry for a long time. At first, there was still some water, but in the end, the water became smaller and smaller, so we dug these big pits in the middle of the river. If it weren't for the flowers in the village My mother went to relatives and saw the dam Lijiazhuang built on the river in front of the village, and we still can't find the reason for the water shortage."

Zhao Canniang was still a little surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect that the popularity of Lijiazhuang was so tight.

Walking behind Zhao Canniang, Chen Zhongqiu also heard these words, and said involuntarily: "It seems that the people in Lijiazhuang are very ambitious, and the people in one Zhuangzi are all plotting against you Zhuangzi. It seems that the other party's plan is not a day or two."

Zhao Canniang nodded when she heard this.

"It seems that it is really not something that has been planned for a day or two. After all, we are dealing with things now, so let's wait slowly! There will always be a good show."

Zhao Canniang's voice was a little cold.

A quarter of an hour or so won't last long.

From far away, Zhao Canniang could already see a large group of people gathered on the river beach.

Chen Zhongqiu walked to Zhao Canniang's side, and gently helped Zhao Canniang to go forward.

Most of the people in Lijiazhuang stood on the embankment, and everyone looked at the people in Zhaojiatang coldly.

The originally dry river is completely different on the opposite side of the embankment. The river is very deep and clear. The embankment is at least two meters high, and the water in the river is naturally more than two meters deep. You must know that in such a What does it mean to have such deep water in a drought.

The opponent's interception is really not a matter of a day or two.

Zhao Canniang saw the middle-aged man standing on the embankment who came out to talk to Zhao Canniang yesterday.

The middle-aged man had a haughty expression on his face. There were many patches on the clothes he was wearing. The middle-aged man's trousers were half rolled up. There was still a lot of mud on them, and he was holding a shovel in his hand.

It looked like they were strengthening the embankment, and the men next to them were also dressed in similar clothes.

"I told you yesterday that this matter is endless." The middle-aged man looked arrogant.

Zhao Canniang left early, and she didn't know what happened afterwards. Hearing the man's arrogant words, Zhao Canniang couldn't help frowning at the middle-aged man.

Chen Zhongqiu asked Li Zheng beside him: "Did something happen after Canniang left yesterday?"

Li Zheng listened and nodded and said: "It is true that something happened after Canniang left. The man who injured Zhao Dafu paid the money, and he was very unwilling, so he quarreled with us, and we only knew about the injury. Zhao Dafu's young man, and the middle-aged man talking to Canniang are father and son."

When Li Zheng said this, Zhao Canniang knew that the following things must be unpleasant.

"What happened after that?" Zhao Canniang asked.

Li Zheng glanced at the middle-aged man with some disgust, and said: "The middle-aged man said that if they want to dig the dam, we must pay 50 taels of silver. If they don't have money, they won't dig it. It's their wages."

Zhao Canniang laughed when she heard this: "They really have thick skins, they really think they are something."

Chen Zhongqiu also sneered, he had never met such a person in all these years, who dared to clamor for money like this.

"Since they dare to ask for it, it depends on whether they have a chance to spend the money."

Zhao Canniang nodded.

"Let's delay the time first, don't rush to make a noise with them, and wait for the people from the next few villages to arrive."

Zhao Canniang will not let the people above her village be so stupid as to compete with the people in Lijiazhuang.

Zhao Canniang believed that the people from Zhuangzi next door would not be as easy-talking as they were.

Everyone in Zhaojiatang now has money, and they will not be so impulsive in doing things.

"I'm going to tell everyone."

After Lizheng finished speaking, he whispered to everyone.

The patriarch had already walked to the front, and the people on both sides had already stood in line at this time.

The people in Lijiazhuang were obviously not easy to deal with. They stood on the embankment one by one, looking at the people in Zhaojiatang with fierce eyes.

"Tell your patriarch or Li Zheng to come out." The patriarch was also angry in his heart, and his tone of speech was not that good.

The middle-aged man should be the leader inside, and he laughed when he heard the patriarch's words: "Stop talking nonsense, we will immediately dig the river for you if you don't give the money, unless you collapse over our corpses. "

The middle-aged man spoke loudly.

Chen Zhongqiu sneered and stepped forward to look at the middle-aged man and said: "You just play rough, I want to see how long you can do it, don't think we can't deal with you, because I don't want to dirty your hands with you."

The middle-aged man did not know Chen Zhongqiu.

Squinting his eyes, the middle-aged man said coldly to Chen Zhongqiu: "You are from there, and the grievances between our Lijiazhuang and Zhaojiatang don't need you to be an outsider."

Chen Zhongqiu laughed, and the servant standing behind Chen Zhongqiu stood up, pointed at the middle-aged man and said: "Be careful with what you say, and don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with."

Chen Zhongqiu didn't get angry with the middle-aged man, but looked at the man with gloomy eyes and said: "I don't want to say anything else, I advise you to dig open the dam before things get serious. Whatever happens to you, it will be yourselves who will suffer."

When Chen Zhongqiu raised a point, he would only mention one point, and would not say anything else.

Zhao Canniang pulled Chen Zhongqiu to stand aside, and the scene suddenly became deadlocked.

People in Lijiazhuang gradually came to the river dam, men and women, old and young, all of them looked fierce.

There are obviously not as many people in Zhaojiatang as the other party.

A stalemate is a stalemate, and the people in Zhaojiatang don't fight with each other, they just stand on the river dam.

A little bit of time passed, and the person who ran to report the news had returned.

"It's done. The people from the four nearby Zhuangzi have already led their people to walk here, and it is estimated that they will arrive soon."

The speaker was a young man from the village. Zhao Canniang just thought it looked familiar, so she didn't remember the name.

Li Zheng and the patriarch nodded.

Zhao Canniang's heart was also relieved.

In fact, there are only these contradictions between Zhuangzi and Zhuangzi. I heard that in the past, troubles would arise every year when there was a drought.

People who live upstream naturally have to pick up a lot of toilets, and those who live downstream are often the ones who cry the most.

The people in Lijiazhuang did not dare to do anything after what happened yesterday. They are not fools. If they persist in this way, they will not lose anything. If they really hurt someone, they will have to pay for it. The middle-aged man I paid Zhao Dafu a tael of silver yesterday, and now the child is in pain.

If he didn't think that the patriarch would give it to him when he took the silver, he might really regret it to death.

On the ridge behind, people could be seen running over from a distance, and they all had sticks in their hands.

Seeing this, Zhao Canniang was overjoyed.

I don't know who shouted arrogantly: "You just wait to be beaten!"

The middle-aged man stands a little higher, and can see the situation more clearly. If he looks at it, it's okay. Isn't that the person from the Zhuangzi next door.

The middle-aged man had already realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ran down the embankment.

Old man Li, the patriarch of Lijiazhuang, stood not far away and hadn't seen the situation in the distance.

"The patriarch is not well and something big happened, and the people from Zhuangzi next door have also come." The middle-aged man said in a panic.

If only the people from Zhaojiatang could deal with them, now that the people from Zhuangzi next door are also here, things will be difficult to handle.

"Boss Li, are you afraid? You jumped the highest when you were doing this, but now you're tucking your tail when something happens. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you won't be able to fight? I have experienced many things, big and small. What? I haven’t seen the scene before, so I’ll take Lao Tzu to the front to have a look.”

Old man Li had a fierce look on his face.

It can be seen that when he was young, he must have been a very good character.

Boss Li took old man Li to the embankment.

Old man Li looked arrogantly at the people from Wujiatang next door who had already walked nearby.

"Old man Wu, why are you here to join in the fun? This is a matter between us and Zhaojiatang."

Old man Li spoke very arrogantly.

Zhao Canniang looked at old man Li suspiciously, and the patriarch beside him explained: "This is old man Li, the patriarch of the Li family village, a very fierce person, who slept in a mass grave when he was young, and went to Heishanya."

Black Mountain Cliff is in a deep mountain ten miles away, and it is said that many strange things happened there.

Zhao Canniang listened carefully, and couldn't help but look at Old Man Li twice.

Old man Li looks like he should be in his fifties. He exudes a gangster look all over his body and his eyes are piercing.

The people in Wujiatang didn't believe what the people in Zhaojiatang said at first, but now seeing the dam in front of them, the people in Wujiatang became angry.

The leader of Wujiatang is also an old man, because he should know old man Li: "You old man, I said why this year is so weird, the river bed is dry so early, it turns out that you are playing tricks, and you even blocked the river on the dam. Recently, our Wujiatang has to go to the deep mountains a few miles away to fetch water, you bastards."

Old man Wu looked very angry.

If such a thing were done, even Shui would be angry!
People in the upper reaches don't release so much water, so the people in the lower reaches don't even have draft water, let alone irrigate the farmland. For generations, farmers and farmers have depended on the sky for food. If it is really a natural disaster, it will be terrible.

But man-made things, no one can tolerate.

Zhao Canniang stood aside, avoiding it from a distance, she knew that a fight might start before she could say a few words.

Hearing Patriarch Wu's roar, old man Li sneered: "I told you people in Wujiatang not to care about this matter. This matter is our grievance with Zhaojiatang."

Patriarch Zhao also came to the front at this time, and said to old man Li with a smile: "Old man Li, what kind of grievances do you have between us? Don't you just see that the people above our Zhuangzi have made money and are envious when they get rich! "

After being told by Patriarch Zhao, Old Man Li turned his face to the other side.

Patriarch Zhao continued: "Old Wu, you come to judge. You also know about the planting of taro back then. I was the first one to go to their village."

Several nearby Zhuangzi are planting mochi. When Zhao Dafu was the first to come to Lijiazhuang to ask everyone to plant hemp taro, everyone in the nearby Zhuangzi knew about it.

Patriarch Wu nodded, indicating that he knew about this matter.

Patriarch Zhao went on to say: "When I asked them to plant, they didn't plant. Now that people from all over the world have made money, they are envious again. Who do you think is to blame for this? No one can blame it!"

Patriarch Wu is fairly fair.

When patriarch Zhao spoke, the scene was very quiet, so the words could be spread far.

Just as Patriarch Wu was about to speak, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind the crowd.

"It's only them to blame."
