Including the money given by Zhen Yigang, Liu An now has more than 24.7 million yuan, enough to buy a prefect.

It's just that Liu An's foundation is not stable. If he spends so much money to buy an official position, he will immediately become the target of public criticism.

It's okay to have a county captain of only 1,400 stone. People from aristocratic families would not pay attention to that kind of petty official.

Other people who want to buy an official position, even if they are not from aristocratic families, must be from a wealthy family, and they have sufficient foundation, but even so, they are still rejected by the aristocratic families, not to mention those of Liu An, a declining clan.

Moreover, if Liu An wants to compete in the world in the future, he will have to rely on talents from aristocratic families, so reputation is still very important.

Unless absolutely necessary, he really doesn't want to buy an official position.

As for the county captain who was promoted to a high position, it was indeed a last resort. Wei De also knew that Liu An did have his difficulties, so he thought he would help him explain to the aristocratic family.

After handling the business matters, Liu An and Zhen Yi had lunch together. Because Zhen Yi was leaving tomorrow and had many things to arrange, he left early.

After that, Liu An called Zhang Qian and gave him many instructions on what he needed to pay attention to in Luoyang in the future. He also gave him one million yuan for his life in Luoyang and for emergencies.

Liu An then went to the side hospital to check on the conditions of the cats, dogs and pigeons. He felt relieved when he saw that they were all in good condition.

Then they packed their luggage and asked everyone to put their personal belongings on the carriage. At the same time, the gold cakes were also loaded on the carriage, as well as the letters sent by Cai Yong. These things just filled the carriage.

After packing his luggage, Liu An went to take a shower again. He would have to travel for several days starting tomorrow and would not be able to have a good rest.

In the evening, Liu An arranged for someone to send 500,000 yuan to Cai Yan, and went to Wei De's house with a bottle of vitamins and some gifts.

After this period of conditioning, Weining’s gums have completely subsided and she can eat normally, and the subcutaneous bleeding has also reduced a lot.

During the meal, Liu An told Weining to reduce the amount of vitamins he takes from tomorrow. He only needs to take it twice in the morning and evening. After ten days, he will reduce it to one pill a day until all the vitamins are consumed.

At the same time, you should pay attention to supplementing fruits and vegetables, so that you will basically not do it again.

When Wei De saw Liu An and gave him another bottle of vitamins, he felt grateful again. Needless to say, he was grateful.

Early the next morning, Liu An asked Liu Bei to drive the car, while he sat on the other side and rushed to the city gate with Gao Sheng and his escort.

The Weining family had been waiting at the city gate heading towards Zhuojun to see Liu An off.

Before leaving, Wei De took out a letter and handed it to Liu An, saying that this was a letter for the new county magistrate of Zhuo County. Liu An handed this letter to the new county magistrate, and the magistrate naturally knew what to do.

Liu An was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that Wei De had prepared such a great gift for him.

The Hedong Wei family is a family that has prospered since Wei was young. It goes without saying how powerful it is.

As the county lieutenant of Zhuoxian County, Gao Sheng could only make the new county magistrate afraid to make any move, but with Wei De's letter, he could make him take the initiative to win over him.

There is an essential difference between the two.

In this way, Liu An can indeed go to Jiuyuan to take up his post with confidence.

Afterwards, Liu An thanked him, the two said goodbye, and Liu An got in the car and left Luoyang.

More than ten miles away from Luoyang, Liu An looked at the cultivated fields on both sides of the official road and couldn't help but frown.

Twenty days after leaving Zhuoxian, it was now mid-April, the temperature was gradually rising, and the sun was gradually getting hotter.

Since the sudden rain on the day of the collision with Weining, there has been no rain for a long time.

In the fields on both sides of the official road, the bankers were exhausted and wilted due to the steam.

Liu An only knew that there would be a drought this year, but he did not expect that in April, signs of drought would already appear, and he began to worry about the crops in the manor.

After lunch, Liu An changed places with a guard and asked him to sit in the carriage, while he rode his horse, leading Gao Sheng and ten guards to Zhuoxian as quickly as possible.

.

The carriage is too slow. If you take the carriage all the way back, it will definitely take longer than when you came. If you go back too late, the crops in your fields will inevitably reduce production.

After changing their horses, Liu An and his party rushed towards Zhuoxian at a faster speed than when they arrived.

On the eighth day, Liu An, who had entered Youzhou, was riding on his horse when he suddenly heard a system prompt.

[Ding - The system has detected that the manor is experiencing drought and some crops are in poor condition due to lack of water. It temporarily opens the upper limit of the system kettle and upgrades it to an endless kettle. The endless kettle does not need to be retracted back and forth from the system, and can continuously pour water.]

Hearing the system prompts, Liu An felt worried and waved her riding whip harder, urging the horses to run faster.

In the evening of the second day, Liu An arrived at the manor.

Before he could go home in time, Liu An went to the manor to look at the crops.

After calling Qu Ze to ask about the situation, Liu An learned that there were still 3 acres of carrots that had not been irrigated.

Starting yesterday, the overflowing water from the wells can no longer be used for irrigation, and the 10 acres of carrots still planted at that time have not completed this round of irrigation.

Today the well overflowed again, but not much due to the drought. After leaving aside water for people to eat, they only irrigated 7 acres of carrots and then there was no water in the well.

Liu An went to take a look in the radish field and saw that although the carrots were a little wilted, at least they were not dead yet. They should be able to regain their energy after watering them tomorrow.

Then Liu An went to see the potatoes that were first planted and found that the potatoes were ready for harvest, so he asked Qu Ze to arrange for someone to harvest them tomorrow morning.

In addition, spinach is ready to be harvested, but Liu An has no extra seeds to plant, so he plans to wait for the spinach to set seeds and then plant spinach.

Then, Liu An hurried home to meet his mother.

After having dinner at home, Liu An told his mother that he would not sleep at home tonight and would come back tomorrow morning, so he hurried back to the manor.

Liu An called Qu Ze and other management personnel and told them not to let people wander around the village at night.

Then after everyone in the village went to bed, Liu An brought three or four guards to look out for him, while he used the system's endless kettle to add water to the wells one by one.

After the Endless Kettle was upgraded, Liu An only had to keep pouring water, and water would continue to flow out of the kettle. Later, Liu An simply removed the kettle lid and filled the well directly with the kettle.

However, as long as Liu An adjusted the kettle, the Endless Kettle would be no different from an ordinary kettle filled with water, and it would not overflow.

During this period, when Liu An got tired from lifting the kettle, he would ask the following escort to pour water into the well for him. When he got tired, he would replace him with another person. Several people would alternate, so that he would not be too tired.

These escorts are all Liu An's dead soldiers, so there is no need to worry about the secret being exposed.

He was busy until dawn, when the roosters crowed, and then Liu An filled all the wells on the village.
Chapter completed!
