The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

After he finished speaking here, he felt relieved. Moreover, he gave the people of Chen Village and Zhang Village an explanation and a statement, trying to make them not make such a fuss in the future. Every year, people died every year because of the water grabbing.

In the past, Li Fu did not care about the places far from his house. Zhang Huan was in charge of them. It was the same last spring. It was okay in Zhuangzi, because the life of the year was not only dependent on the food in the fields, but the farther away from Li Fu's house, the more dependent on farming.

Grabbing water is grabbing the livelihood of the year. The government has no way to solve this problem.

Li Fu had no solution. Isn't it repairing the canal in Zhuangzi? This year, Jiang Que will dredge the river and re-sort the planning of the canal to strive to provide these people with water guarantee within the fiefdom.

But it takes time to do things. Water is needed during the spring plowing days, and Jiang Que has not officially started construction within the fiefdom.

There will inevitably be a fight over water. Today it is Chen Village and Zhang Village, and tomorrow there may be two other villages fighting over it.

The only thing Li Fu can do is to let Zhang Huan take people to visit these villages from time to time and persuade them not to fight over water.

As for whether they listen or not, it is beyond their control.

Food = life.

"Fellow villagers, listen to me." Jiang Que endured the pain in his body and said loudly: "I am Jiang Que, the junior craftsman of the imperial court's craftsman supervisor. This year, I was invited by His Royal Highness King Jingyang to come here. Both I and His Royal Highness King Jingyang understand the importance of water to crops during the spring plowing period. Therefore, His Royal Highness is planning to repair the water conservancy projects within the fiefdom. Rivers, ditches, or new canals will all be started this year."

"But the fields need water now."

Some people around bravely said: "Besides, it hasn't rained for a long time, and there is still so little water that it is not enough to irrigate the fields."

"Yes."

As soon as this was said, the people around echoed.

"Even in this case, the people of Chen Village still control the upstream and prevent us from using water. Isn't this just wanting to wipe out the crops in our fields?"

"That's right!"

The people of Zhang Village responded in unison.

"Everyone! Everyone!" Jiang Que hurriedly shouted to them again: "This spring's weather is indeed much drier than before, and it hasn't rained. Water is precious, and everyone understands this truth. But no matter how much you fight or grab, the water won't become more. It just adds casualties, and the water doesn't become more!"

"Then tell me, what should we do! The upstream people don't leave a way for the downstream people to survive, what can we do? We can't really watch the crops in the fields die of drought, right?"

"Yes!"

"We just want water to irrigate the crops."

"What do you mean we don't leave a way for you upstream? The crops in our fields can't grow in the wind, we also need water to irrigate the land!"

"That's right, we can't take care of you and let us starve to death, right?"

"Of course, who made you downstream."

As soon as these words came out, the anger of the people in Zhang Village was provoked again.

"Shut up!" Li Fu was angry: "Can't you listen to Jiang Shaojiang's words? Huh? Where is this? This is Jingyang County! I am the King of Jingyang! This is the fiefdom granted to me by His Majesty! This whole piece! I have the final say! If I let you live, you will have a way to live. If I don't let you live, no one will have an easy life!!!"

Li Fu was furious and shouted at everyone.

Li Fu also saw that more than 20 guards had arrived here, and his confidence hardened instantly.

Although the words were unpleasant to hear, they were all true.

The people in the fiefdom, how much tax they paid, that was all decided by the fiefdom owner. Here, it was him, Li Fu, who had the final say!

"You like fighting, don't you? Do you want me to send you to the army?" Li Fu looked around with a cold face: "Whether it's me or Jiang Shaojiang, we are trying to find ways to make your crops better! What about you?!!! Huh? !! Listen to what you are saying!! What upstream and downstream!!!"

"What? Are people living upstream more noble than those living downstream? Is it an extra head for others to hit with a hammer, or an extra pair of hands to wield farm tools to hurt others?"

"It's outrageous!"

Li Fu scolded them.

When the surroundings were silent, Li Fu said to Jiang Que.

"Jiang Shaojiang, keep talking, I'll see who dares to say anything!" Li Fu said: "If you let me hear a discordant voice, I will add you this year"Our taxes!"

Hearing Li Fu's words, the people around him were like quails, not daring to say anything.

Because what he said was...right.

Moreover, the master also has the right to do so.

Li Fu now looks like a complete villain.

Talk to these people in a nice way, but they still don't listen. You have to shout, scold, and threaten them before they are willing to calm down and listen to your reason. It's really...

Good people are bullied.

Jiang Que reorganized his words and talked to the villagers of the two villages earnestly.

.......

"Although what I said is what will be done this year, after the water conservancy project is repaired, it will bring us a lot of convenience in the spring plowing in the future, but after all, there is no such convenience now, and the water source is still tight, so we need to think of a way to solve this problem, otherwise no matter how much I say here, it will be useless. "Jiang Que said: "Therefore, I thought about allocating water resources according to the amount of land in each village together with the government officials. "

"People with more land should get more water, and people with less land should get less water. We should try to make sure that everyone can use water to irrigate crops. But when we irrigate crops, we should also try to save as much as possible. After all, farmers depend on God for their livelihood. We have to plan for ourselves. Water is scarce this year, so we should use it more reasonably. "Jiang Que said, "In addition, everyone is good at farming. I suggest that when we are farming, we can also think about how to grow crops so that the land can better resist weathering and drought and ensure better growth of crops.

Anyone who comes up with a good idea and the idea is feasible will be rewarded!"

After Jiang Que finished speaking, he looked at Li Fu.

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

Li Fu nodded, and then said loudly, "According to what Jiang Shaojiang said, whoever really comes up with such a good idea, and it is feasible and can be promoted so that everyone can benefit, it will be a great achievement, and the Jingyang Palace will reward 500 copper coins!"
