Miao Cuilan hurriedly said: "Then what should we do! Mr. Wu, why don't you talk to Li Zheng tomorrow and organize us to shut down the canal?"
Mr. Wu said with a smile: "We have to build a reservoir to store water, and then we have to find a new water source in the deep mountains to open a canal. The deep mountains have thick veins, and the water sources are more abundant, and the flow will not be cut off easily. Some uses! You can also dig deep in the back of your yard and build a small reservoir to store water. In the future, it will always be useful!"
Lu Xiaoshu was also listening, and quickly said: "And our fish pond, do we have to dig wider and deeper! I want to grow more lotus roots and water chestnuts!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and Miao Cuilan angrily annoyed her and sighed with a smile: "This little girl is only thinking about the fish and shrimps in the pond! Now that the reservoir and the canal have been built, they also have to dig the small fish at home. Reservoirs, and so many crops to take care of, who has time to take care of your fish ponds? If you have the energy, then do it yourself!"
Lu Xiaoshu pursed his lips and said for a while, "Then I will definitely do it! How difficult it is to raise my fish and shrimps!"
Miao Cuilan shook her head with a smile and ignored her.
Miao Chuhe frowned slightly, and said: "Mr. Wu, everyone in our village will definitely listen to your words. You will tell Li Zhengyi tomorrow, and I believe this matter will be implemented soon. However, if It's really a severe drought, I'm afraid it's not just our village? I'm afraid the whole county is surrounded by eight villages, and we can't escape..."
"That's right," Mr. Wu nodded and said, "That's why I told you about this! Now that you have the status of Juren, I believe your words are still useful to the county magistrate. I hope you can convince the magistrate, Let the yamen issue an announcement to notify the neighbors and eight villages to prepare for drought, otherwise the grain harvest will fail and many people will leave their homes again!"
After finishing speaking, Mr. Wu sighed lightly.
Lu Zhong smiled and said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy. How can the magistrate be willing to listen to this future matter without evidence now? After all, this is a major matter related to the future!"
If there is a natural disaster, the magistrate of the county will naturally help the disaster, but as long as he does his best and reports to the court in time, then nothing will happen to him, and he will be rewarded instead. But if at this time he takes this event that never happened with great fanfare as a certainty and should be dispatched, if the time comes, it will be a waste of work, where will he put the face of the county magistrate
The country gentry and landowners who worked hard for money and the people and the general public might not be willing to spare him easily, would they? Once someone reports the matter to the higher authorities, they won't necessarily lose their hats!
Out of the safest consideration for himself, it is almost impossible for the county magistrate to agree to this matter, and he might even blame Miao Chuhe for confusing the public and disturbing the hearts of the people.
Mr. Wu has actually thought of this, but he is just like this, so it’s fine if he doesn’t know, since he knows it, let him not tell everyone, how can he live in his heart
Mr. Wu smiled wryly and said: "Brother Lu is right, I have not thought carefully. In Chuhe's capacity, this matter is actually both convenient and inconvenient. If I make a mistake, I will definitely let you The county magistrate has a pimple in his heart, if he is right and the county magistrate does not follow through, the county magistrate will definitely be embarrassed when the facts happen in the future. In my opinion, let’s think of another way to remind him!"
Miao Chuhe hurriedly said: "Actually, it's nothing. Now that I know about it, if I don't say it, I'll feel bad about it! I'd better go! I'll see the magistrate in private, no matter what happens in the future The matter will not be known to outsiders, even if he did not listen to it, it will not lose his face in front of the people when the facts prove this in the future."
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but interjected: "But what if he is afraid that you will talk too much to others outside in the future? He can't stop you, wouldn't he be worried?"
Miao Chuhe was speechless.
Mr. Wu couldn't help laughing, and said with a half-joking and half-serious smile: "After all, you are indeed my student, and you can turn your head around very quickly!"
Lu Xiaoshu didn't know how to be modest at all, so he said, "He's got a good head since he was a child!" Otherwise, how could he defeat Xia Shi
"This child!" Everyone who said it laughed, and their heavy hearts eased a little.
Lu Xiaoshu rolled his eyeballs and said with a smile: "Actually, I think this matter is quite easy to handle! My husband doesn't need to come forward, and my little uncle doesn't need to come forward either. Isn't it all over if you invite a magic stick?"
When Lu Xiaoshu said this, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Don't you all love to hear the words of gods?" Lu Xiaoshu added.
"You, you, you kid, what nonsense are you talking about! Can gods be blasphemed!" Miao Cuilan was a little annoyed!
"They are talking about fake gods, they are fake!" Lu Xiaoshu quickly distinguished.
"Wouldn't that be a lie?" Miao Chuhe couldn't help but asked in a daze.
I believe everyone understands Lu Xiaoshu's meaning, please ask a magic stick to fabricate rumors under the guise of the gods, in order to create public opinion, in order to influence the people of one side.
He is a scholar, and he pays attention to the orthodox way of Confucius and Mencius, so he feels a bit awkward after hearing this.
Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "This is clearly a white lie! I don't think there is anything wrong with it! Anyway, it won't cause any harm to everyone! And it's the best of both worlds, no one has to be in trouble, isn't it good? "
Miao Chuhe had nothing to say, and couldn't help looking at Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong just smiled and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.
But Mr. Wu burst out laughing, thought for a while, nodded and said with a smile: "I think Xiao Shu's idea is good, he has good intentions, doesn't stick to trifles, doesn't stick to stereotypes, alas, that's great. Or, just do it like this Bar!"
"Mr. Wu, do you agree?" Miao Chuhe felt very disillusioned.
Lu Xiaoshu smiled proudly: "My husband is not such a pedantic and sour Confucian old master, of course he will agree!"
"Don't flatter me yet," Mr. Wu said with a smile, "Where can I find such a convincing fairy?"
That's a problem! Everyone was startled unconsciously. Where are gods so easy to find
But time really waits for no one. If this matter cannot be settled as soon as possible, how can there be so much time to repair canals and dig reservoirs to store water
Lu Qi couldn't help but glanced at Lu Xiaoshu, and said with a smile, "I think Bitengshan people are nice!"
"You, what nonsense are you talking about! The man from Bitengshan, he is just a painter, how can he be a magic stick!" Lu Xiaoshu was startled and couldn't help protesting. She was very angry in her heart, her brother is really not a good person, he actually threw out the Bitengshan people, if she was exposed, she would still ignore him...
Miao Chuhe's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I think what Aqi said is right! The Bitengshan man can be said to be the most famous hermit in the world. If he can pinch and count, no one will doubt it. But, where are we going to find him?"
Miao Chuhe sighed unconsciously, and said with fascination: "The man from Biteng Mountain has not shown his face so far. I don't know how many people want to see him but can't! What a pity! Besides, even if you see him, he will I don’t know if I’m willing to help or not!”
Miao Chuhe took advantage of the topic and couldn't help but praised Bitengshanren a few more words. He was deeply regretful that he couldn't see him. He almost called this Bitengshanren a first-class figure of a god!
Lu Xiaoshu was trembling when he heard it, and thought to himself, little uncle, it's not that the people from Biteng Mountain don't want to show up, she can't show up at all! If this shows up, it will destroy the image of "him" in everyone's mind, and you guys will definitely beat her to death!
"I think this is a good idea, Aqi. The Jinshizhai of the Lin family must have connections with people from Biteng Mountain. You might as well ask Lin Fang for help. Maybe you can find this person. Maybe you can really convince him." Mr. Wu couldn't help but also nodded. agree.
"It's not necessary to talk about a severe drought. Alas, it's actually about benefiting the people of one side. Mobilize the gentry and rich lords to build water canals with the people. If it happens, this is a great opportunity to become famous. I think he will listen. And the county magistrate Maybe it will be an elegant thing to do!"
Mr. Wu's tone was slightly sarcastic. The shadow of everyone in Biteng Mountain has never appeared before, but the momentum has been created so big, it can be seen that this person must have a good name. A person with a good reputation, who has a good reputation, gives it with both hands, and it is expected that he will not push it away.
Maybe with his current reputation, he can't wait to do a few more things to become famous!
"Okay, then I met Lin Fang and tried to talk to him!" Lu Qi smiled, but glanced at Lu Xiaoshu out of the corner of his eye, making Lu Xiaoshu secretly roll his eyes in anger.
After discussing for a while, the matter was settled like this.
Before saying goodbye, Mr. Wu suddenly asked Miao Chuhe: "By the way, are the paintings of Bi Tengshan people really that good? Hehe, I've never seen them before!"
Mr. Wu has never liked this kind of excitement, so of course he would not go to Jinshizhai to watch like others, which is why Lu Xiaoshu is so brave.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help raising the heart that had just been let go.
Miao Chuhe nodded and said sincerely: "That's right, his paintings are indeed not bluffing, the strength of opening and closing and the ingenious spirituality of splashing ink in the composition are unparalleled, at least, I have never seen it before!"
"It's really so good?" Mr. Wu couldn't help being surprised, and said with a smile: "If there is a chance, I will take a look!"
Miao Chuhe said with a smile: "I believe that Mr. will not be disappointed!" Both of them laughed.
Lu Xiaoshu watched calmly from the side, and said calmly in his heart: "Sir, you will be disappointed, because Bitengshan people will never allow his paintings to show up in Guxi Town again...
After Mr. Wu left, everyone prepared to pack up and rest. Lu Xiaoshu winked and called Lu Qi to a remote place outside the house.
"Brother, you are really uneasy and kind, you want to kill me!" Lu Xiaoshu was furious and complained all the time.
