The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"In addition to rewarding money, I will also submit a petition to the court to seek an official position for him." Li Fu said.

Li Fu believed that with a huge reward, someone would definitely think about this matter.

Money and official positions are the motivation to motivate them to do this.

Five hundred strings of cash is a huge sum of money for ordinary farmers, not to mention asking the court to reward an official position.

Once you have an official position, you are no longer a commoner, and your status and position will be completely different.

As Li Fu finished speaking, there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

How can these farmers become officials?

After being surprised, calm down and think about it. It is not easy to get such a reward. If you have such ability, you will not risk your life to fight with others for water.

"As for the spring ploughing this year, everything will be arranged and allocated by the government." Li Fu said, "If anyone starts a trouble again, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Fu also understood that if you treat these people with a polite attitude, they will think you are easy to bully. Sometimes, you have to be tougher and be a bad guy, so that people will listen to you.

Otherwise, they will bully you.

You have to let people know that you are not someone who is easy to bully.

"Wu Liangye, after this, you go to the government and convey my intention to let them deal with the matter as soon as possible, so as not to delay everyone's spring ploughing." Li Fu said.

"Yes." Wu Liangye bowed his hand in response.

"Now, let's all go. I will not pursue the matter of you accidentally injuring a court official. If there is another disturbance, don't blame me for not reminding you. Jiang Shaojiang is at least a member of the Crafts Supervisor and an official working for His Majesty."

Li Fu glanced at the crowd with a cold eye, and then led Jiang Que and Ma Zhou out of the crowd.

The surrounding guards followed and followed Li Fu.

"You ride horses and walk back together." Li Fu said.

"Your Highness, you must not do that. My injury is not that serious. It won't be like this." Jiang Que hurriedly declined.

Ma Zhou also shook his head, indicating that he could still walk and was not seriously injured.

"Don't waste time, go back and treat your injuries quickly." Li Fu frowned and urged them.

Not only Jiang Que and Ma Zhou, but also the two people who came out with them were injured, and their situation might be more serious than Jiang Que and Ma Zhou.

When the two sides fought, they were desperately protecting Jiang Que and Ma Zhou, trying their best to prevent those people from crowding and trampling on them, which is why they were injured.

The guards let Li Fu ride the horse, and Li Fu waved his hand.

"No, I'll just take a walk." Li Fu said, "It's not tiring anyway."

Although the injured people were riding on horses, they would not walk too fast, and the speed was basically the same as walking. If they were riding wildly, the injuries on their bodies would be even worse. It was just as they said, it would be better to walk back.

"This happens every year." Li Fu sighed helplessly and said, "Last year was better. There was enough rain last year and there were canals around. As for the places farther away, I didn't care much. Zhang Huan went out to check it out. I didn't hear him report anything back. Last year, it should have been smooth."

"Farmers rely on the weather for their livelihood. Farming is not easy. Watering crops is to have a good harvest to fill their stomachs. Grabbing water is grabbing a way to make a living. To put it bluntly, you can't blame them for grabbing." Jiang Que sighed.

"What you did today is too dangerous." Li Fu said, "The two gangs are about to fight. It's not something you four can persuade them to stop. Even if the government's officials come, it won't be controlled in a short time." Li Fu said.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have the heart to let Wu Liangye and others whip people.

If they don't hurt them, they won't wake up from the fight and stop to listen to you.

"I saw the scene, and I thought that we couldn't let them fight and kill people." Jiang Que shook his head helplessly.

Li Fu smiled.

"Even if I know that they fight and kill people, it is a lesson learned from blood and tears. Do you think I haven't experienced it?" Li Fu said, "It is because of my experience that I know how serious their fight over water is."

"When I was in this farm, before I recognized the emperor, our farm also fought with the upstream for water. The upstream was the farm of the Pei family, that is, the farm of Pei Ji and Pei Xiang. There were fights every year. I am the head of the farm. For such things, I have to show up. Many years ago, I was young and was protected by Lao Zhao and others. I was at the back. The last time we fought for water, it was too chaotic. Lao Zhao and I were separated, and I was hit by a hammer.I was hit on the head and was unconscious for three or four days. "

This was the first time for Jiang Que and Ma Zhou to hear about this.

"Your Highness, have you ever been injured so seriously because of grabbing water before?" Jiang Que asked in surprise.

"Of course, this is a matter. Everyone in the village knows that after I was injured, they carried me back and nursed me at home for a long time. At the beginning, even Lao Zhao was not sure whether I could wake up. "

"At that time, I had no status. It was the master who led the farmers to grab a ray of hope for the crops. They had to go. What could they rely on in poverty? They relied on desperate efforts. They didn't produce anything in the first place. If the people in the village were still scattered, how could they live? "

"If the master is cowardly, the whole village will not be able to raise their heads. "

"So I understand that they grab water, as you said, to grab a way to make a living, but this year is not a good year. "Li Fu sighed: "Even if we robbed it, there is not much water. The government distributes it according to the land. This is the best way now."

"If we want to avoid such things in the future, we have to think of ways from many aspects." Li Fu said: "The canal on the village is one way, repairing the river is one way, and then we have to find a way to store water. If we want to store water, we may have to dig lakes and reservoirs. This is a big project that cannot be completed in one or two years.

Now we can only do it bit by bit. Nothing can be done in one go.

Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to do it in one go, but the result was... How much damage it brought to the present. "

Jiang Que and Ma Zhou listened and nodded.

After experiencing these things, they also sighed sincerely. If all villages have great people like Li Fu, it would be great. The lives of ordinary people will definitely be better than now.

Back in the house, Li Fu quickly asked Lao Zhou to settle them and asked doctors to come to treat their injuries.

"Why are you injured like this? "Old Zhou felt really distressed.

They are all good at work.
